Prankster’s last laugh goes viral; pre-recorded funeral message shocks family at his grave

Screengrab Facebook

Irishman Shay Bradley, a Defense Forces veteran, was intent on ensuring that those who gathered to bid him a final farewell left with a smile on their faces.

Bradley pulled a memorable prank on family and loved ones when a pre-recorded message was played at his funeral in Dublin — Bradley’s daughter said that it was his dying wish to have it played.

In the message, Bradley can be heard calling out as if he was stuck in his coffin.

“Hello, hello – let me out!” he shouts in the recording, which included the sound of him knocking on the coffin lid.

“Let me out! It’s f—ing dark in here,” Bradley continues, as mourners begin cracking up in laughter.
