ECkicks

ECkicks is an American YouTube channel known for making prank videos involving family members, siblings, and strangers in different ways.
They’re infamous for making short videos involving an older child (including their siblings and the person recording the videos) causing trouble before getting disciplined by his mother with a variety of punishments and negative reinforcement. Most of their YouTube Shorts videos are reposted from their Instagram and TikTok pages, causing them to receive more criticism from other viewers for reposting their content from their other social media pages, like other YouTube Shorts content creators do to earn views and make profits. They started earning subscribers and followers on all their social media accounts for their short videos since TikTok first released.
On their Instagram page, they delete their videos and repost them multiple times to prevent the comments section of their videos from being hated and to make new viewers watch their videos since most of their videos appear in the trending section most of the time. Instagram is the only social media site where they reply to their viewers in the comments section of their videos.
== Content ==
=== YouTube Videos ===
All of their YouTube videos that are not YouTube Shorts are exclusive to YouTube and are the only videos not reposted from their other social media accounts. A group of boys would go into public to prank strangers or pull their pranks on their family in their house. Not all of their content consists of pranking videos; some of their videos consist of a group of boys surprising or gifting something to their friends and family.
=== YouTube Shorts ===
At the beginning of their skit videos, it usually begins with a 19-year-old boy planning to do something before getting caught by his mother (or siblings) and being punished by various actions. In other videos without the mother, the videos usually involve the 19-year-old boy teasing his little brother (his child) and other kids, buying something expensive before getting scammed, setting up a business for money, wearing expensive shoes until something goes wrong, violating the dress code by wearing a jersey or shoes at school, and many others things involving the 19-year-old son. Most of their older YouTube Shorts videos were dedicated to pranks; most of them were pranking their mother before being chased by her. The background music frequently plays the song Oh No by Capone, but most of their latest videos play different songs or have no music in the background.
== Characters ==
=== 19-year-old boy ===
He is the oldest or second-oldest child in the family; age 19, goes to school, and has a child. He likes to play soccer inside the house, but he always breaks things inside the house on accident and tries to hide the damages by covering them with an object until his mother sees the damages he has caused before punishing him by making him spend a thousand dollars for the repair or taking something away from him. He is a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and likes to wear a jersey based on him. If Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t score a goal or gets disqualified, he would lose his temper by hitting the TV or trashing up the living room. He likes to collect shoes. He goes to a store to buy a new pair of shoes, orders them online, or buys them from a scalper outside in the street. Most of the time, something would go wrong whenever he is wearing his new shoes, with other people damaging them in different ways. He doesn’t like school and tries different ways to make his mother not send her son there, but most of the time he fails in his attempts to stay home from school. In most of their videos, he, along with his twin brother, his little brother, and other people skip school to watch a soccer game on TV until the mother comes home and catches them skipping school. Most of the time, after being sent back to school by his mother or being forced to return something back to the store after spending his money on expensive things, he ended up running away from his mother in the middle of the street. If he attempts to do something related to daredevilry or getting something out of his way, the video ends with him being chased or having a meltdown after he fails at doing something. He managed to pass his driving test by playing Grand Theft Auto IV using a steering wheel controller on his computer since he didn't own a vehicle, despite using his mother's car in several videos.https://www.instagram.com/p/CuIY4lyNJR9/ If he doesn't have any friends to play with, he uses a plastic skeleton where they would play around or dance.
He has a twin brother that is identical to him, who usually causes trouble like his other brother and is a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, but rarely gets disciplined by his mother. The twin brother usually appears in videos when they both skip school to watch a soccer game on TV or buy a jersey from a scalper.
=== Little Brother ===
He is the only little brother in a family of 4 to 6 (excluding his freshman friend). In one video, they mentioned he is 17 years old after one of his brothers gifted him a thousand dollars instead of a PlayStation 5 console for his birthday, which caused him to be angry for not getting the gift he wanted for his birthday, and in three other videos, it is revealed he is in Pre-K after getting suspended from school,https://www.tiktok.com/@eckicks3/video/7223950897355803947 he wears diapers when his father (19 Year Old Boy) attempted to shoplift at a grocery store,https://youtube.com/shorts/WQ-jNx8CVI0?feature=share and he likes to eat Lucky Charms for breakfast after attempting to pour energy powder into his cereal and flipping over one of his brothers' breakfasts with two slices of bread before going to school at night. People in the comments section of their videos occasionally considered that kid to be 7 years old since he is a lot shorter than an average 17-year-old person. 
He is also known to be the son of the 19-year-old boy. He usually has various Sonic the Hedgehog merchandise on his outfit and in his bedroom, and he is a fan of Lionel Messihttps://www.instagram.com/reel/Cr1e3slJGgN/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet as well as owning a blue tablet. Despite being 17 years old, he is still being carried by his father in some of their videos.https://www.tiktok.com/@eckicks3/video/7193042559709531435 He has a friend who is a freshman and is taller than him. He likes to play video games. In several videos, he could be seen playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch on his TV, a FIFA game on his PlayStation 4 console, and a blue Nintendo 2DS system with the screen being powered off while trashing up his parents' (or his mother's) bedroom. He could also be seen carrying a TV with his other two older siblings in a video where they hide a TV from the little boy's father (and the two older siblings' brother) to see his reaction when he comes home and sees the TV missing, only to borrow a laptop from a neighbor to watch soccer on the laptop in the living room.https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cr_2IK4O3zk/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet
=== Mother ===
The mother appears at the end of the videos after catching her 19-year-old son (or other siblings) causing trouble. If her oldest son causes any trouble, such as spending his money on expensive things, skipping school, trashing up the house, etc., the mother will punish her son in various ways. In some videos, the mother fails at punishing her son after he runs away from her. She frequently wears yoga pants or slim pants in their videos. Her face is rarely shown in their videos, and her older son is taller than her. In some videos, she makes her son do some exercises due to his health or makes him wear a Lionel Messi jersey for his punishments. In their older YouTube Shorts videos, the mother frequently gets pranked by her children before beating them with a flip-flop or a stick. If any of her kids were to give her a special gift for her birthday or Mother's Day, she would decline the gift and make them pay over a thousand dollars at a bank. She doesn't appreciate the gifts her children are giving her when it comes to a specific holiday for the mother.
