Ding-Dong Ditch Pranksters Caught Red-Handed by On-Porch Residents in Columbia
Columbia, SC – A recent Ring doorbell video, widely shared online, has captured a humorous incident of a "ding-dong ditch" prank gone awry in Columbia, South Carolina. The footage, uploaded by user "allieelsey," shows two young men approaching a residence at night, intending to ring the doorbell and flee. However, their mischievous plan took an unexpected turn as the residents were already enjoying an evening on their front porch. The video shows one individual repeatedly pressing the doorbell with an exaggerated motion, while his accomplice stands nearby. As the doorbell chimes, the pranksters suddenly notice the group of people, including the homeowner's roommate and friends, seated on the porch. Their expressions quickly shift from playful anticipation to utter shock and embarrassment. "You're dead, you're dead!" one of the pranksters can be heard exclaiming in a moment of panic, realizing their failed attempt. Both men then hastily retreat from the porch, their hurried departure accompanied by the audible laughter of the surprised residents. The incident, which occurred on October 4, 2025, has resonated with many viewers, particularly those familiar with college life in the area, given the reference to the University of South Carolina (UofSC) in the video's hashtags. The video has accumulated over 2 million views and hundreds of thousands of likes, demonstrating the broad appeal of lighthearted, relatable content. This event serves as a reminder that not all pranks go as planned, sometimes leading to unexpectedly amusing encounters.
