Having promised his parents to be successful and pay off their home mortgage, YouTube funny guy Tim Chantarangsu better known as “Timothy DeLaGhetto” surprised his parents with a dream come true and caught their reaction on video. In Tim’s “Surprise for Mom & Dad” video, the 28-year-old hands over a USD210,000 check to his mom and dad. While dad seems slightly more interested in knocking back his beer, Tim’s mom gets all weepy and proud of her boy. The video’s already been watched more than a million times since it was posted Monday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5QaUKHvjHo The Chantarangsu family are Thai immigrants living in Paramount, California. They own a Thai restaurant and have worked hard since Tim was little.

benj005 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 BTW, I might be doing prank videos in Thailand. A good idea? Would the Thais like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up-country_sinclair Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Very nice of the son to do this for his parents, but In my opinion it kind of cheapens the gesture by posting the video on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably did it for the exposure Plus, everything is uploaded to You Tube these days. Anyone watch the fire challenges? Kids put themselves on fire.

techboy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I dunno about your chances in your venture. I wonder how much insight into a good prank that someone who takes himself so seriously would have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy (or female?) is so full of hate that I can't imagine him doing anything for anybody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yann55 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) I posted this a few hours ago. Got zero responses. People don't like nice threads. They want nasty, bitchy threads that they can get all worked up! Well, with this comment of yours, you just managed to introduce a little bit of bitchy-nastiness, so that should get the posters started Seriously, it's a great story, and yes people tend to post all and everything on YouTube nowadays, which in some cases questions the depth of their sincerity. Folks who raise money for NGOs are very aware of the fact that there is a generous streak in (almost) every human being which can be triggered a hundred times more easily with a little bit of ego-teasing on the side. Bah ! We're humans, not angels, and the positive result is what really counts, in most cases. Edited August 1, 2014 by Yann55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I think it's a great feel-good story. A son's love for his parents, displayed with more than just words but deeds. Very cool. I don't know the guy (comedian?) but he seems a tad rough. Which goes to show that you can't tell a book from the cover. Thanks for sharing OP.
