Jimmy Kimmel, my favorite late night host and prankster extraordinaire, wickedly asked people to post videos of them turning off their TVs during the Super Bowl while everyone in their home was watching. Hilarity, curse words, groans, madness, confusion and screaming ensues. This is so good. Who cares about a game anymore?

The pranks start around the 40 second mark. Enjoy.[Jimmy Kimmel YouTube]
