An internet joker has been slammed for pulling an “abusive” prank on his sleeping girlfriend.
In the shocking clip, Brad Holmes films himself sneaking up on his partner Jenny Davies, who is napping on the sofa and blissfully unaware, before hacking a huge chunk of her hair off.
The giggling 24-year-old taunts his horrified girlfriend, saying: “Jen, wake up, I’ve got a present for you.”
A hysterical Jenny then awakes to find her smug English boyfriend dangling the missing hair in front of her face.
Realizing her luscious locks are gone for good, the 22-year-old screams: “Oh my f—–g God, my hair!
“What have you done to my hair? Why would you do that?”
An unsympathetic Brad responds: “Here you are, have it,” chucking the hair at Jenny.
“I should be a barber, shouldn’t I?” he jokes.
Jenny threatens to throw Brad out of her house during a foul-mouthed rant, exclaiming: “I look like a boy.”
Warning: Video contains adult language.
And she was not the only one to fail to see the funny side, with some internet commenters accusing Brad of domestic abuse.
Some 88,000 comments have been left on the Facebook video, debating Brad’s actions.
One such comment, which has been liked over 10,000 times, reads: “There’s funny then there’s just too far!
“Why would you do that to someone you love? Seriously that’s so horrible.”
Other unimpressed viewers have suggested the prank was staged, with Jenny only pretending to be asleep.
One viewer wrote: “No way! This has to be staged! There is no way any woman would stay with a man if they cut her hair!! It’s not a joke it’s abuse!”
An unimpressed guy added: “You are a man-child you refuses to grow up.
“Good luck being old and lonely when you’ve pushed everyone away in the name of ‘banter’.”
The negative reaction forced Brad to defend his actions, writing: “Let’s have this right.
“I love Jen more then words can explain, I obviously expect people to think that I’m a prick for doing this, which is a fair comment.
“We’re cool, happy as always. I’ve still got a lot of making up to do.
“But just to let everyone know I already booked her hair appointment for a brand (new) weave tomorrow before doing this.”
He also posted a picture of the pair cuddling in bed, accusing his viewers of turning the situation into melodrama.
Brad went viral with a Valentine’s Day prank in which he pretended to propose, before producing a tea bag and asking Jenny to make him a brew.
The elaborate joke included Brad getting down on one knee, clutching a ring-shaped box.
The couple have been pranking each other ever since, while Brad’s dad is also tricked on a regular basis.
In one video, Jenny made Brad believe she was pregnant, and he got her back by pretending to spend a night with another girl.
The internet has even seen a distraught Jenny sob while Brad told her he was leaving her.
In another clip, Brad planted a used condom in his own bed, to suggest he had cheated on Jenny.
