The Slap: Watch People Slap Each Other For the First Time
A screenshot from the video called "The Slap," in which 40 people slap each other for the first time.

In March, a viral video showing strangers kissing for the first time brought a smile to the collective face of the Internet. Now, it's time to slap that face senseless.

Enter "The Slap," a parody of the original "First Kiss" video. In it, YouTube user Uptomyknees gathered 40 friends and acquaintances and had them slap each other for the first time.

Since the people in the video were randomly paired, the results were quite hilarious. Some folks slapped just a little bit too hard, some were scared to place even the tiniest of smacks on the other person's face, and there were a couple who wanted to do it again. And again.

In an outtake video (below) you can see just how much preparation goes into a simple slap. And just how easy things can go, well, out of hand.
