They’re Australia’s most controversial internet pranksters
Yeah, we’re fucking bad, we’re savage, we’re ruthless and that’s it.
The cops they can try and stop us.
The government, they can try and stop us.
My very clear message is this behaviour is not ok.
I’m telling you, only death will stop us.
That tough-talking character is Max
one third of the prank-making trio the Jalals
"Brothers who caused outrage by posting prank terror attacks online."
"There is nothing funny about this, there is nothing real about what you're doing."
"It’s abhorrent."
But while their pranks are public, not much is actually known about their private life.
Hey I didn't see you there.
Come, let me show you my crib.
Do we have guests?
Hello.
I’m Max, this is Rabeen, that’s Armad and we’re the Jalals.
We’re known for being the biggest pranksters on Facebook.
This is our elevator.
Let's bring it down.
Our page has 13.8 million followers.
Zoom in on the Rollie.
Does it glitter?
Does it glitter on the camera?
We have a total of 2.6 billion video views
We all got matching tattoos as well.
It's a bomb emoji.
Three bombs.
We’ve done all of that in under 2 years.
We’re famous. Nah I’m joking
We are famous.
On Facebook.
But, here’s the thing.
This is not their house.
Those cars?
Yeah they're rented.
The boat, also very rented.
And those Rolexes?
Look at the Rollies, look at the Rolls Royce.
Look at me, rolling with the Rolls Royce and a Rollie.
I think the whole rich thing is so people will look up to you.
Cause it shows that you’re successful, shows that you know what you’re doing.
Yeah I don't know.
Honestly I wouldn't have clue.
Being who we are you know, obviously a lot of people want to be our friends
We don’t have a lot of friends cause we don’t have a lot of time.
Everyone wants favours. Yeah, everyone wants favours.

This is with only 92 videos on our page.
Not just Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian
but the majority of the celebrities don’t get anywhere as close as the views we get.
Cedric was do you know these boys?
And I was like I have no idea.
I’ve seen one prank.
You probably don’t realise that you’ve seen it
but everyone’s seen the black bag and the guy in the Arab clothes.
And then Run.
Run?
Yes.
Yeah I've seen that.
I've seen it.
I did pretty well at school, I got into a law degree.
I deferred my first year.
but after my videos went viral I dropped that law degree
realising that this was a far better opportunity.
My dad’s rich he doesn’t need my money anyways.
But like I’d want to impress him actually.
If I were to show off.
Obviously, parents you know, want you to become that...
lawyer, doctor whatever.
He probably thinks that I’m sleeping
doing nothing, being lazy at home
that’s what he thinks.
Love you Maxie
Love you Maxie.
What we’re actually doing is poking fun at terrorists and people’s prejudices and stereotypes.
How would people be scared of this?
If you think about it, and if you think about it properly
If someone were to do a terrorist attack
they'd try to avoid being noticed.
We’re showing how ridiculous it is to fall for it
But even though it's so ridiculous people still fall for it and get scared.
You have your...
you know.
The older ones that hate it.
But then most of them love it, they laugh.
Yeah they enjoy it.
Stand tall
Never fall.
Because when I used to get bullied on the internet
For the drive by shooting videos and stuff like that.
Basically there's two different opinions
People either really hate it or really love it
and they just lash it out in the comments section
and it spreads out you know, like a disease.
Controversy sells
Everything falls back onto the media bro.
Because we’re using the fear that the media is giving
to create comedy.
In 2016 that comedy saw them arrested by anti-terrorism police
over a drive by shooting prank.
Public nuisance, behaving in an offensive manner and imitation fire arm.
Skip.
Nah, nah they’re all real.
They weren't real.
They were actors and that little girl was their cousin
which they were forced to admit in order to get the charges dropped
Our latest drive-by shooting video was staged and they were all actors
By the media and stuff?
But you can't blame them, you know?
Do we think we've been portrayed wrong?
Isn’t that the image we want?
So with all the deception
the fake wealth, rented Rolexes and pranks full of actors
What the hell's actually going on with the Jalals?
You’ve got to leave something for the audience to figure out, you know?
For all of the bluster you sort of have to ask the question
Were the Jalals just good boys from the suburbs playing at being bad?
Yeah, we’re fucking bad, we’re savage, we’re ruthless and that’s it.
You know what I mean?
The cops they can try and stop us.
The government, they can try and stop us.
But I’m telling you, only death will stop us.
That's it.
