I can't remember any pranks I've pulled (although I'm quite certain there are some!), but for inspiration check out PrankVote, it's really hilarious. Also, Ed Bassmaster from Youtube pulls some pretty funny pranks on random people, I find it hilarious

Another prank I pulled was to wrap some dog poo in paper and place it outside somebody's door, then set the paper alight, ring the doorbell and hide. Well, what would you do if you saw something alight on your doorstep?

Haha yeah people would have to clench the coins but they always clench bills anyways. And you can fit a lot more poo on a bill. People always bend down to grab money as if it was their luckiest day so some people will swoop it very quickly with a closed fist around it. Most people just grab it but they always grab it with a tight enough grasp to get poo all over their hands.

It's not a prank, but a joke really that my brother started doing.

When paying with a £10 note, the person behind the till might say, "do you have anything smaller?" To which he responds, "yes" and folds the note in half twice.

I sadly haven't done much, other than calling up a Chinese takeaway and saying:

"Do you do liver?"

"Yes, we deliver."

"Ok, I'll have a liver curry please."

"No, we don't do liver."

"But you just said you deliver."

And etc, etc. The trick is to say deliver a bit like do liver. It drives them nuts...

The best YouTube prank must be this:

If I was ever given the opportunity to remove all the bad from the world, I wouldn't, because for there to be heroism, compassion and all that is good, there must also be all that is bad.

Haha, my favorite prank to pull is pretty hilarious but easy to do, too.



First, get some clear plastic wrap and wait to be alone so no one can see you.

Next, go into the most used bathroom in your house, and lift the seat up.

Then, wrap the plastic wrap over the toilet seat (tape it if you have to) until it is a nice and sturdy flat surface on the toilet seat.

Lastly, return the toilet seat to the down position and wait for someone to use the bathroom. Sadly, it'll be a dud prank if a guy has to pee... And if you're toilet seat is too close to the plastic wrap as the mens'... "junk" will lay on the plastic wrap.

Reminds a little bit of Henry Rollins' telemarketer on his live show, Shock & Awe.

Telemarketers are bloody annoying, so I can see why people pull those kind of things on them, but I suppose you got to feel sorry for the guy on the other end, after-all he's probably just some Joe who's ended up working a crappy job for a boss he hates just to earn a living.

This one is the best prank call. He calls up a Chinese restaurant for delivery, then puts them on hold and calls up another Chinese restaurant, and then puts them on the phone together. It's hilarious!

I've seen this done with a phone sex line too, even funnier

The only prank I've done is in a game. My mom and I were both playing Ultima 7 and when she got far enough to have the Clone spell I cloned all her party members (Ilo, Shamino, Dupree, Spark) and killed the clones. I then got everybody in her party to enter the house in front of all the dead clones and moved her outside of the house and closed the door keeping her party members inside the house and saved her game. When she loaded her latest save game she saw the sight of herself alive and well but all her party members dead. She did freak out and screamed their names as she stared at their dead and bloody corpses. She frantically called out to me to show me what happened... I just laughed and told her to start moving... then the door behind her opens and out pops all her friends alive and well.

Hmmm. Nothing too great. One time we did the old swap keyboard trick. Really messes people up. Another time we photoshopped a colleagues head onto a certain adult picture (amazingly similar to what happened in The Office actually with a picture that sounds identical) then emailed it around the company. Erm, oh and we intercepted a fax to a work colleague from his mum on his birthday. It said things like "my special little boy" and stuff so we modded it to have things like "lovely little soldier" and the like then stuck copies up all over the office. Heheheh, good old days when bosses had a sense of humour

My favourite though was when we put a program into memory back in about 1989. It was one of those memory resident programs that I forget the name of (if anyone remembers it was like Sidekick that appeared at any point when you pressed a key or two). Anyway this one was called Monster and if you pressed the letter M then it would fill the screen with an ASCII monster. A girl did an entire 10 page assignment without using the letter M

My favourite prank that I wished I had done was when a friend of mine got kicked out of college after a year. In response he modified all the boot disks in the main programming room and when the new first years arrived and booted up the whole room was full of hardcore porn videos. Pretty good for 1990

Cheers

Oh, and once we took a colleagues bunny toy and hid it. A friend then took it round Europe and sent back pictures of it in different places. When we got it back we bought an identical one and cut it up, covering it in fake blood etc and gave it to her as a secret Santa present Was amusing how many people didn't want to cut up the copy cos it was so cute

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

That's not a very good prank, you know.

The average smoker spends $1500 per year on cigarettes. That amount of money could feed 16 impoverished third-world children for an entire year.

Enjoy your cancer.

Bumping with something to say is good. Bumping just to bump a dead topic isn't. That's one of the things we watch for, and I gave him a warning the first time.

It may not be annoying to you now, but if everyone was doing it in all the threads on Geek Culture, eventually it would become a mess.

A friend Rick Rolled a bowling alley for an awards do with our Student Union, it wasn't difficult, just walk up to the DJ and request the song. Hardly elaborate, but enough people knew what a Rick Roll was to enjoy it.

I did the same thing once while at a school dance aboard a ship.
So I rick roll'd half my school while I was on a boat!

where i lived last yr we had a housemate who slit his wrists, and sometimes nearly killed himself in the process. for april fools we were going to get a manakin, dress it in similar clothes, dump it in a bathtub filled with water and theatre blood, splash loads of the stuff around the room and leave a carving knife lying on the floor.

we didn't go ahead with it for fears the some of the girls in the house may go a little beyond our desired reaction..

Ah, in a a sort of 'out of body' experience? Cool idea.
I think Derren Brown did something similar on Trick or Treat. Great effect, but very hard to do well.
