93-year-old grandpa tries to prank nurse but the joke was on him

A hilarious video involving a 93-year-old elderly man went viral.

The short YouTube video, running 36 seconds, shows a grandfather brought to the hospital for a flu shot on October 10, 2016.

When the nurse is about to give him an injection, he begins to get scared.

While giving a worrying expression just when the nurse pokes the needle in, he said, “I know it’s gonna hurt."

The nurse then tells him that there's no blood.

After she sticks the bandage on the old man, she comforts him saying that the shot is completed.

“Did she stick that darn needle in me?” the man asks.

Though he seems clueless about the shot, the owner of the video explains to ViralHog that the grandfather is actually a joker "and loves to harass the nurses whenever possible."

"He was being his usual funny self on this day receiving his flu shot," the owner added.

Since it was posted on November 17, 2016, the video, which is titled 'Brave 93-Year-Old Getting His Flu Shot || ViralHog', has been viewed more than 160 thousand times.
