Sometimes, it's easy to mess up a picture-perfect moment when you forget your phone is still set to video mode, and you're often left with nothing but several long seconds of awkward posing for the camera.

While this isn't exactly the ideal way of preserving memories for most people, it appears that one man repeatedly chose to take videos instead of photos on purpose -- to prank his wife. When she asked for a photo, he secretly took a video and allowed her -- and others -- to pose, and pose, and pose some more for the photos he wasn't taking. And as seen in a recent video on YouTube, the footage is pretty damn awkward and dare we say brilliant.

In the video description, the man admits he's lucky to still have a wife.
