That's pretty funny, but they were really flirting with disaster in putting a net that someone would be struggling and fumbling to get out of right above concrete stairs.

The elevator was definitely the funniest (and least jerky) part, though it probably would have worked just as well without the 'body'. The costume is fantastic, the idea is great but the execution felt like it went too far on the horror/mean side.

Funny! Although the thing that always worries me about pranks like these is that who's to say if the "victim" is armed? These guys are Polish, so that's probably not as much of a concern, but I've seen USian jump scare pranks and I always cringe a bit.

But what bugs me the most about this is that, you know, this is basically just "hey, let's sic a dog at strangers!" with dumb costumes. Yeah, the people you're "pranking" are going to run. You sicced a freaking dog on them.

Um, no, not at all. Telling a dog to attack someone is completely different from a dog chasing people to play, and it's easy tell them apart at a glance. If the dog was growling or barking, nobody'd think it was a spider. This wasn't a hostile dog, this dog was just looking to dog.

I can definitely see getting legitimately startled but, yeah, in order to get footage this crosses the line into actually mean. Seriously, people running for their lives? That's beyond prank. Prank is when somebody jumps and throws their hand over their mouth.

This wasn't funny because it was mean (although the prank aspect had its funny moments) as much as it was funny because it was a dog doing dog things, but with a spider costume on. I mean, that's basically a spider there acting like a dog, but it seems menacing and becomes misconstrued when it comes with a couple of extra legs. It's like the dissonance of those two realities -- the simultaneous cuteness and potential scariness of it -- makes it humorous.

And the dogs I know don't run immediately to strangers -- they run a bit, oh look bit of wall with dog smell, OMG now I have to pee, ok done, where's my person?
That is a badass dog costume and I expect to see it come Halloween.

Definitely pushing the envelope. I wouldn't do that here, in the US - someone might get shot. Also, it's hard to know what might happen if someone is running for their life; all caution gets thrown out the window, raising the possibility of a "secondary prank" effect that everyone regrets.
That said: it was clever, and I was amused. Don't try this at home!

I was operating under the assumption that this was staged, at least in the sense of "come do this thing I'm making, I won't tell you what it is but I will buy you a beer afterwards. Just act normal. Trust me."
It's just too unsafe for the dog, otherwise.
If I could get my dogs into costumes like this, and they didn't act like they'd spent their lives locked in a dark room every time I take them in public, I would totally dress them up as spiderdogs for halloween.

Count me in with the people with no sense of humour about "pranks" like this. You are genuinely scaring, and quite possibly traumatising people with this sort of behaviour. We'll see how hard the merry pranksters laugh when, as is inevitable, someone dies of a heart attack during one of these japes, or perhaps one of the victims pulls a gun and shoots the perpetrator. I don't think it at all unreasonable to regard this sort of thing as assault.
It really is interesting how members of the same site that seems very fond of putting "trigger warnings" ahead of mere words that might upset people, seems to think that physically terrifying strangers (who may have all sorts of unknown phobias and health issues) is just total big yuks.

If a friend group or family group or other community includes pranks as a part of its culture and the members assent to that as part of its value system, that's one thing. If that's what was happening here, fine, or if it was staged. But yeah, it's a violation of the social contract to do this sort of thing to unsuspecting strangers -- although I think the social mores about that are really shifting in recent decades, and I'm probably in the minority on that now.
Back when I dated, I dated a guy or two who thought it was acceptable and good fun to jump out from behind a door and scare me or creep up behind me and cover my eyes, and it might have been in their previous relationships, but I disabused them of the notion that this would play in Fellini Peoria. It's one thing to decide to sit down to watch a "scare you out of your chair" movie or if it's something people agree they enjoy doing to each other; then you're in on the joke.
The spiderdog is adorable and hilarious, though. If a housemate wanted to surprise me by having me come home to find my dogs dressed up as the Von Trapp family or a bunch of dinosaurs or something, thumbs up!

I presumed this was staged to a lesser or greater degree. Doing it to totally unsuspecting people would probably have led to some bad result at some point. (Plus, I find it enormously hard to believe that a normal person's reaction to dangling, bloody limbs would be to calmly step back and find the best angle from which to take a picture.)

IMO, the thing that makes pranks like this and the velociraptor prank funny and not-mean is that there are no dog-sized spiders and velociraptors in (modern-day) real life. So anyone who runs from one in terror is being ridiculous and will themselves realize later how silly and gullible their reaction was.
Whereas, if the "prank" were to have an axe murderer chase people, that would be a totally different thing and very very not cool.

It was pretty obvious even from the low-quality video that the limbs were fake. We're not talking Hannibal-level special effects, here. Plus, real bloody limbs would smell like blood and decay and thus if there was no smell then you'd know they were fake.
So yeah, I could totally see someone stepping back to take a picture of props to post to social media and ask if anyone knew what was up with them.
