Prank Video: A “jackass” moment in the data center

Hee-haw! A male donkey is known as a jackass, but as our female readers are already aware, the term can sometimes apply to the human male, as well. Here are two data center workers reenacting a “Jackass” spoof. Don’t try this at home.

Prank Video: You better keep one eye open in this data center

Think of this prank video the next time you get called into an all-nighter emergency at the data center and feel your eyelids growing heavier. Now you know why data center workers consume so much caffeine. Tune in below for more high jinks from the APC crew.

Prank Video: Everybody was kung fu fighting!

This next prank video made me think of that old song Everybody was kung-fu fighting. I’m the curious type, so I had to do a quick search to look up the singer. For you trivia fans, it was written and performed by Carl Douglas. If this song gets stuck in your head for the rest of the day, don’t blame me – and remember – “those cats were fast as lighting”!

Tune in below for more data center antics brought to you by the APC crew.

Prank Video: Busted in the Data Center

All work and no play can make the data center a dull place. How about a little Candid Camera meets Data Center? The APC creative team obliges as they get “creative” with a few unsuspecting colleagues. This is the first of several prank videos – so stayed tuned for more. Thanks.
