   Strangers have fun slapping each other in hilarious “First Kiss” parody video

Not too long ago, a video showing complete strangers sharing a kiss went viral. Ever since, parodies have pretty much kept pouring in.

Thus, in early March, we got to laugh our hearts out watching a bunch of dogs sniffing their behinds for the first time ever.

Fast forward a few weeks, and here is our chance to let out a few giggles at the sight of several pairs of complete strangers slapping each other.

Mind you, it need be said that I do not condone violence and, under any other circumstances, I would openly protest face-slapping.

Still, I suppose hitting people can sometimes be fun, just as long as it's done in a playful manner and everybody gets to go home with their teeth in the right place in the end.

The video below made it online this past June 23, and it has already scored over 1.5 million hits on YouTube. Hence, I can only assume there are many people in this world who find face-slapping entertaining.

According to Metro, the video is the brainchild of Max Landis, who, in a recent interview, has stressed that, “No one was pressured, and everyone was hit as hard as THEY asked to be hit.”

“I gathered acquaintances, friends both casual and close, paired them randomly, put them in a void, and asked them to hit each other in the face,” he has added.
