I've seen most of these before but they're pretty funny. I'd like a video of the guys waking up and realizing they've been messed with. Especially the guy on the couch perched above the ground.
In my experience, they tend to do the bull-in-a-chinashop routine and charge around looking for someone to bash. Or they're so hungover they curl back up into a fetal position for another six hours.

How charming.
During my freshman year of college a fellow student I knew in passing died after a party. His "brothers" played a few drunken pranks on his unconscious body and then left him alone. There were more drinks to be had and more girls to make out with.
He died shortly thereafter. Choked on his own vomit.
Drinking to such bizarre excess is unfathomable to me. "Friends" who take the opportunity to stuff one into a small pet cage make me ill.
If someone is drunk to the point unconsciousness, call an ambulance or a cab and get them to the hospital.

Well, sometimes they're rather amusing to EMS personnel. One fine evening at an event in San Francisco we came across an unconscious drunk that didn't respond to painful stimuli, but he did respond to us taking his stunna shades off.
It's when they get violent that it's no longer amusing. This guy was anything but violent.

Silentgoldfish, in the spirit of the post, I believe that aladfar was commenting on the grossness of people having pranked someone who turned out to be fatally poisoned, not on someone's having gotten drunk and unconscious to begin with. Not that your comment wasn't really charming and worthwhile on its own merits.

fenriq and Silentgoldfish: I take your point. But what I meant was this: having spent many nights in the ER during medical training my recollection was that 50% of the patients were drunk anyway. They were smelly, uncooperative, and might well have vomited on you. In contrast, a young well groomed college kid that had merely drunk too much that night and been lovingly 'decorated' by his buddies would have been welcome comic relief.
//been in the trenches: remember derelicts coming in who, when the nursing staff removed their outer shirt(s), had hair growing through their undershirt because it hadn't been changed in several months. Now that is a very icky sight!

I met up with my best friend once and I happened to be driving. At the end of the night I had to tell him "you know, you can be a bit of an asshole when you're drunk..." Fortunately he thought that was hugely funny.

It's all fun and games until the Boston Police Department gets involved:
On arrival, officers located a teenage male in a semiconscious state, who was marked with disturbing graffiti written on his body. ...
A thorough and exhaustive investigation conducted by Boston Police Sexual Assault, Community Disorders and District detectives determined that the teen was a victim of a ‘prank’. An interview with the teen revealed that he became intoxicated while drinking alcohol with a group of individuals known to him. The victim stated that before passing out, he witnessed his so-called "friends" writing on him, but was too intoxicated to do anything about it.

Getting passing-out drunk with your friends should be about raising hell with people that you like and trust. Friends don't do shit like this to each other. I'll bet most of the people in these photos were on the periphery of the social group, trying anxiously to fit in and getting rewarded with cocks drawn on their chins in Sharpie.

From what I saw of frat-boys at my uni, it was generally the generally well liked middle that had the most of this kind of prank played on them. Not the peasantry, and not the nobility, but the middle-class, as it were.
