Why it worked

The video works because it's a relatable and unexpected prank within a common social setting (playing sports with friends). The build-up of the fake injury followed by the surprise trip creates a comedic payoff. The reaction of the other players adds to the humor and shareability, making viewers want to tag friends who play dirty.
