Some pranks just aren't funny, and this dad definitely didn't get the memo.

Roman Atwood tricked his girlfriend into thinking that their young son, Kane, blew up on a four-wheeler in front of their eyes — just for laughs. The YouTube prankster went to extreme lengths to make it look like Kane took off on the bike, which went over a ramp, crashed, and burst into flames.

Atwood pulled off the plan by creating a dummy replica of Kane and rigging the bike to be remote controlled. When his long-suffering girlfriend, Brittney Smith, walked away, he quickly ushered his son off the bike to safety and replaced him with the dummy. When she returned, a hidden bystander sent the vehicle speeding off via the remote control. The bike went over a ramp and burst into flames while Smith went racing towards the crash.

While his terror-stricken partner took in the scene, Atwood stood by and allowed her to think the worst. Father of the year material? We think not.
