Prankster Roman Atwood has reached new heights when it comes to the very fine line between terrifying and funny, as he pretended to throw his son off the family home's second-floor balcony in an attempt to royally prank his wife. Check out the cruel joke below! Plus, have a look at the behind-the-scenes video in which Atwood explains just how he pulled the whole thing off.

Roman Atwood has made a name for himself playing tricks on the unknowing. The jokester YouTube celebrity is a staple when it comes to the prank elite on the social media site. From pranking police officers into believing he's urinating in public to tricking passersby that his toddler son is a psychotic murderer, Atwood has made a name for himself as a worrisome-yet-hilarious trickster. With over 655 milion views and over 4.7 million subscribers, its safe to say the man is a famous YouTube star.

In his latest viral hit, titled "Killing My Own Kid PRANK!!,' the Los Angeles father of two takes his love for pranks to a whole new level. In fact, it may be the meanest prank Atwood has ever performed - and who might the target be? His wife of course!

According to the Mail Online, "Roman Atwood set up cameras and enlisted the help of his two sons in an elaborate attempt to frighten his unassuming wife and fool her into thinking he'd accidentally killed their toddler son. The stunt, which was posted on YouTube on November 30 and already has almost 5 million views, begins with Atwood playing with his son, who is dressed in a Spider-Man costume covering his face, on the top floor of their Los Angeles, California home."

So how did they pull it off? "Atwood and his son are greeted lovingly by the boy's mother, who is then sent downstairs 'to grab them some water' so that they can prepare the prank behind her back. Atwood enlists the help of his older son who leads his younger brother into the other room them substitutes the toddler for a dummy, which Atwood then tosses over the railing. His wife runs downstairs and screams in paralyzing fear as she sees the boy falling to the ground below and laying motionless on the ground as though he had died," continued the Daily Mail web report.

Atwood's wife was undoubtedly hysterical, until she discovers her little Spider-Man son is actually a dummy. And boy, did she chew out her prankster husband!

"I f--king hate you! Why would you do that?" she yelled.

"It's just for fun. Are you that mad?" Atwood wondered while secretly chuckling.

"Yeah, I'm f--king mad!" she responded.

"You don't pretend to throw our kids off a f--king balcony. Get away from me! You're sleeping on the couch," she screamed as she gave her hubby a little kick where-the-sun-don't-shine.
