I've been thinking of playing host to a few pranks next semester. It's been one heck of a first semester, and I want to blow off some steam. Plus the fact that I'm scaling back on the difficulty of my classes, I think I'll have some free time to pull a few capers.

Anyone have any ideas? This topic doesn't have to be just about me. Feel free to post some of the best pranks you've heard or done, and the consequences if you see fit. I'll post some when I can think of a few good pranks.

A good one to do is to get a picture of a person (friend is better due to possible harm), and make it into a sign. Something to the likes of "Wanted for molestation of small farm animals" or something like that. Then post it all around campus where they will be sure to see it. After they think they got all of them down, make sure you post one at a store they frequent, or somewhere they least expect it (the grill of their car works wonders). They should get a good laugh from it, and the chuckle will have been well worth the future ass beating. I did this to one of my co-workers back in '03 and he's still finding the flyers. Good times.

There's more, but let me remember them correctly first.

if you know someone who is a heavy sleeper, and sleeps during class, start super gluing stuff to them, make sure it is real funny stuff tho

any construction work going on nearby? if so get down there and tell the workers that a few students dressed as cops are going to try to stop them working. then call the cops and say that theres students dressed as construction workers digging up the road (or whatever). sit back and watch the fireworks.

Well, I do have a few classic ones like saran-wrap on public toilets, Tabasco sauce on comp-lab chairs (when it dries, makes a fine powder and seeps through pants and itches like crazy), dish soap in fountains, sticking previously pierced tuna cand under desks and the likes, vaseline on door knobs, dry ink in public hand dryers in washrooms... But the one signature prank we did back in college needs a lot of time to pull off

October 31/ November 1st:
Go around a few blocks of houses picking up pumpkins left over from halloween, carefully writing which house you've picked it up at. Transport said vegetables to a field or isolated area. Then we wait... ... wait, don't rush this... ... No, not yet... ... ... you realy are an impatient one... ... Allright, Spring is here, no more snow on the ground. Time to bring back what you "borrowed" to their rightfull owners. You just can't immagine the stench

well there is one simular to the saran-wrap on public toilets, but with a little twist. Get some jello that when in the hello form is clear then dump it in to the tolit and wait for about 4 hours and pour water on the jello to make it seem as if water was still in the bowl. The image is as you could expect.

This is one I've actually done, and its way too typical of high school seniors, but we couldn.t resist.

Industrial width/strength saran wrap, like the kind used wrapping pallettes in stores, to start with works better cause it's harder to rip. next, you pick out someone, a freshman in our case(like i said typical) who'd take it well, and we knew he would. Took 5 people for full effect. One was video taping, 2 were holding, and 2 had salon strength battery powered hair dryers on high heat. Simply put: we shrinkwrapped a freshman from knees to shoulders and left him in the middle of the main hallway between classes. Couldn't stop laughing

here is one that is very bad and i'm saying ti cuz its funny to think of but doing it is something else:

when you see a dog owner leave his dog in the car while he goes to the mall and leaves the window just a little open for the dog to breath, take some laxative tablets, put them in some chewy food for dog, and put it through the window. You can imagine the result. It just sucks for the dog cuz laxatives are not fun and the owner could beat it up if he was a jerk.

You can also scan and print 100$ bills, but print them just one side. Then go the toilet at your school/work and get all your friends/colleagues to pee in the same toilet, and place the bill printed side up in the toilet. Wait for boss to go to bathroom. (Done it)

Here's a fun prank my dad did but cannot be reproduced easily as it is too contextual and necessitates equipement:

His company was building hydro-electric digs in northen quebec so ppl used small planes/helicopters to go and inspect or carry stuff around. He had a consultant on his team who was ahorrible human being and was really fat (not that its a bad thing, but it matters for the prank)

So one day when they were shipping stuff via helicopter to a remote location and shipping the consultant there on the same occasion, they used those metal rods you put inside cement walls, used a press to bend them like arcs, and then used them to pin the helicopter to the ground. Basicaly the helico was glued to the ground. So the guy gets in with the materials, and the pilots tries to take off. Can't. Unload some stuff, retries, can't, unload soem stuff.. repeat until only fat asshole is left. Pilot has to tell fat asshole he's too fat for the copter.

k, get a bunch of dry ice, and put them in a toliot, NEEDS TO BE DONE WHEN NO ONE ELSE IS THERE, while doing this if there is someone who lives near said bathroom that is a jerkass, get some friends to give me some laxatives, so the he runs into the battheroom, lock the dry ice toilet so that noone gets hurt when is explodes
now while he did that, if he left his door open enough so that you and your friends can get into there, mess with all his stuff, hide stuff, put laxatives in leftovers, put some dry ice under his bed, just mess with everything you can

you could always post an add selling you school in the local newspaper (I know its been done before) but it's always good for a laugh, just make it sound like a really nice house. Be sure to post the dean/principals home phone as call back number

I'm not necessarily recomending any of these, but here's some of what I've got

greasing the floor of a tile hallway, use lotion, vaseline, whatever.

Super-gluing a quarter to the floor. watch the idiots try to pick it up... so funny.

Get some white-chocolate, and melt it into an empty deoderant stick... then, go into a public place, and start eating your deoderant with gusto!!

pee in someone's soda

If you're in band, switch around someone's valves/ steal their mouthpiece when they're not looking

One of the simplest one's I've heard anywhere was the old sugar in the gas tank trick. Only instead of actually putting any sugar in the gas tank, you just open their tank door and remove the cap and then leave an empty, or mostly empty, bag of sugar next to the car. They'll freak out and either drive to the shop or have the car towed there only to find out there's nothing wrong with it. I just love the psychological value of that one.

my wrestler friends told me a good one to mess with freshmen. they always went to a tournament where they stayed a few days overnight in hotels or w/e, so they are basically there by themselves to mess with each other.
what they did is tell a freshman that it's impossible to do a sit-up when everyone is slapping the floor drumroll-style because of some bullshit to do with the vibrations (make up something scientific-sounding for effect). I forget how he put it, but you have to give some reason to blindfold them as well. then one of the stronger or fitter guys would pretend to try real hard to do it and not be able to. Frosh says he could do it easy, then gets in position blindfolded. it is at this point that the fattest guy on the team gets in a squatting position above them and bares his ass. when the team starts pounding the floor and the guy sits up, he gets a face full of ass!
gives new meaning to the term brown noser.

well, i'd say pay in pennies but thats so unoriginal

what you do is you give em pennies....but have a few short

then you say oops

and then give them the amount in bills or bigger change

A friend of mine works for the convenience store chain on campus, aptly named "Sparty's." At dinner an acquaintance of mine was planning on running into the store while my friend worked and act panicked, looking for condoms (the condom-seeker is the least likely person out of everyone in my circle of friends to have sex). After dinner, I visited my friend at Sparty's to chat and told him about the condom plan. I got the idea to turn the tables on the condom-seeker. Here's what the brief dialogue may be:

"Do you have any condoms!?"

"Sorry, sir. We're sold out of the normal condoms. But we do have this one." *holds up a BIC ballpoint pen cap* "I think it'll fit you."

oh yeah....


i actually passed this one off as a 'human behavior' experiment for my major year 12 biology assignment. didnt do too badly either.

i glued down a dollar coin (yes we use m-e-t-a-l dollars here in crazy australia) and then watched for an hour. no, i couldnt help from laughing. one was at a big shopping centre/cinema/restaurant area, in a major thoroughfare, and the other was outside a train station entrance in a poor area. yeah, results as you'd expect, the poor guys wanted the dollar more, and when i went back later that day, someone had actually managed to pry it up outta the pond of superglue i covered it with, something i couldnt manage even with my fancy glue solvent.

long story short, dont dismiss pranks as idle amusement at the expense of others when they could be earning you academic prestige

(jebus, i STILL cant believe i got away with it!)

if you take phsycology you can pass a lot of things off as schoolwork

While I'm back home for Christmas break, I think I'll try this one:

There's someone I know who's a real dickhead. Not many people like him around the fire department. He drives a Jeep Wrangler that has definitely seen better days. Taking a page from Rayne's Urchin, I'm going to steal the drive tires (rear-wheel) off his Jeep and hang them in the hose tower. The only problem will be if he decides to put it in four-wheel drive while he's without rear tires and goes crashing to the ground.

Or I could get jacks or cinderblocks and very slightly lower his Jeep off the ground at all four tire points. He won't be able to move, even after putting the car in four-wheel drive.

ya, lift his car so that the wheels are just barely off teh ground, so that they appear to be touching but aren't, and it will really mess with the guy

you cant really do that because of the suspension.

I pulled a great prank today,

I stole someone's mouthpiece out of their locker(stupid them leaving their mouthpiece in the trumpet) and spread tabasco sauce all over it. I blew on it till it dried, and then put it back.

ah, remebered another one. havent managed to conjure up the balls to go through with it, and doubt i ever will for fear of retaliation, but it would entertain me no end.

wasabi is a type of japanese mustard made from horseradishes, and it is the hottest sh*t you'll ever put in your mouth. think tabasco x 2. generally it comes as a pale green paste, but you can get this stuff in powder form.


before you head out to a club/bar/party, partly fill a few straws with wasabi powder and seal each end with a bit of tape to keep it in there. when somone takes their eyes off their drink for a while, remove the tape and replace their straw with one you prepared earlier (if there's no straw in the drink, just tip the powder in). sit back and watch their face when they take a big sip

problem with that is observant people and colors of straws... anyways, in my high school we had a fun senior prank...

The week before finals someone got a hold of the master key to all the locks in the school (you need a standard school lock, or it gets cut) and over the weekend they switched up all the locks... in half the school... including the floor upon which seniors had their lockers.... it was a mess the whole day, janitors were running around... but at the end of the day noone was hurt and everyone thought it was brilliant... and a bit annoyed the people waited for finals... - Bunny

you could get into some serious trouble going around and pouring unidentified powder into somebody's drink, i would imagine. just don't try it at a frat party, haha.

...wait. the locker thing. that happened at my high school too. except whoever did it also put candy everywhere, which was kind of cool. bunny, you're not a hackleyite, are you?

i'm assuming that's a type of student... nah... I'm an LP student from Chicago... - Bunny

Buy a pack of condoms, fill them up with mayo, and place them in random places where your roomate will find them.

oh the fun it'll be.

well a prank is a prank cause it's causing some sort of harm to someone, so i think saying this could get you in trouble applies to EVERY prank so back off on that

Ahh... the memories....

There's the old "take the hinges out of the door" prank. Key goes in, door goes down.

Pile up the furniture inside someone's dorm room in such a way that it'll collapse when the door opens, then escape via the window (best attempted on ground level rooms, although it's more puzzling if you have a climber with grappling hook and the skills to get down from several floors up!)

Know any electronics boffins? I'm one, and built a little high-voltage generator and hooked it up to a stainless steel urinal and the metal grill in front of it. All that was needed to complete the circuit was a stream of ionised fluid... (It really was harmless, being very high impedance, but the psychological shock was at least as significant as the electrical one.)

In my Air Force days, we had one guy who was a _really_ heavy sleeper after he'd had a few to drink. We moved his entire room, including him asleep on his tumbling-mat-style mattress, to the middle of the parade ground. He reckoned that it was really surreal to wake up with all his furniture in the accustomed places but with the walls missing!

Vegemite on black toilet seats is a bit hard to organise in backward countries that don't eat processed yeast waste, but there's probably something similarly black and sticky in your neighbourhood.

We actually did something somewhat similar to a guy when I was in high school. He had an old VW Bug and while he got along with folks ok, he could be a real dick most times. So to screw with him a bit, we went out one day to the parking lot and proceeded to have a little fun. It took a jack and several of the larger football players but we lifted his car up and set each wheel very carefully on an empty coke can. We really weren't sure it would work, but lo and behold it held (a cylinder really is quite strong in compression after all). So when this guy comes out an hour or so later to go home (we did it close to final bell in case the cans eventually collapsed) he comes out to find his little VW sitting up about 4 inches off the ground on these little aluminum cans...needless to say it was funny as hell. For us anyway...he was pissed. He had to get some friends with jacks to help him get it down so he could go home...heh, good times, good times...

we did that one at schoolies (aussie end-of-school thing, think spring break). our roommate was being a dick, told my boyfriend and i that we had our own room in this place whereas it was a great big communal room for all of us. naturally, we were pissed off as all hell at the lack of sex, so one day whilst he was out, we rigged up a false condom just for him.

mayonnaise is just that little bit off the natural consistency od semen, in my opinion. what we used was that creepy watery stuff that happens with whipped cream after its left to sit for a while. for added gross factor, we smeared a little nutella (brown chocolate spread) on the outside

this delightful confection was then lovingly wrapped in a thin tissue and left underneth his pillow. feel the love.

yummmm, nutella

so a good prank if you know someone who is a chain smoker, and doesn't really pay attention to the cigeretes when they pull them out is to turn them around so when they goes to smoke them, they smoke the wrong end

you have to have a really drunk or drugged up friend for that... I know... I've tried it and it only works when my best friend is drunk... waste of a square though... :-( - Bunny

Yeah, that's pretty much the only way that's going to work. Unless they're a new smoker and haven't quite the feel of it yet. Though, the veteran smokers will do it maybe once every couple of years due to accidently dropping it prior to lighting and picking it back up in a hurry.

And if your victim smokes non-filters, then you're just S.O.L.

why not just buy a box of tubes, and stick his usuals inside of those?

hell, take it one step further. stick that cigarette open end first inside another tube, so that there's a filter at each end (you'd probably have to roll the cigarette to a slightly smaller diameter). wrap with a zig zag if you don't want the seam to be a tip-off

i got a BIG book of jokes, a few practical jokes were in there

a real funny one is to put a fish or something that will rot slowly and will get an increasingly bad smell, and hide it somewhere in their place, don't tell them that their place smells funky, let them discover it

Touché, a buddy of mine went for a vacation, was aways for a week. He left his tools in a bucket full of water, had cement all over em. He was acting like a complete asshole and then he left for his vacation. so we paid him back... Whenever we came across his tools we took a pee in the bucket. so it was over flowing with urine when the guy returned. He was a wee bet drunk when he started washing his tools and said: can u imagine how bad water smells when it has stood around for a week? Man did we get a laugh for it..

least he didn't try to drink it

thank god. If he wouldha drank it there wouldha been a can of whoop-ass for breakfast..

fill ballons up, but don't tie them, put them in a doorframe, so the when the person opes the door, the balloons go off and fly all around the place, while he tries to figure out what happened

I got one, but it only works in an industrial setting (ie factory, machine shop, etc)

I used to work in a machine shop with this real asshole, well someone loaded one of his cigarettes and it explodes, naturally he's pissed, so he comes looking for the culprit. He comes to my machine and asks who did it? I turn and see this ruined cigarette sticking out of his mouth and start laughing. He thinks I did it, so we goes to my toolbox and takes out my flashlight and busts the bulb. Now I'm pissed, but I bide my time. He goes on vacation a couple of weeks later, so I wheel his toolbox to the shipping area and lower a winch chain from the ceiling and shrinkwrap it to his toolbox, then I winch it to the ceiling. I then use a scissorlift to access the winch and pull the power cable off of it. Mr asshole comes back from vacation to find his toolbox dangling from the ceiling and no easy way to get it down.

Or another one that works only in a place with a public address system or intercom, get one of those little recorders like a yak bak or something that you can mess with the playback and record someone saying something stupid then pass it around the (office shop whatever) playing it over the intercom from a different station every time.

***THE PRANKSTER'S ESENTIALS***

#1: DUCT TAPE


now frankly, despite its myriad of uses, i just cant walk past the ultra-convenient waxing capabilities of duct tape. you can get really creative, thin stripes, thick stripes, heck, even whole words (with time and talent, and a passed-out drunk buddy). better yet, stick it somewhere ungodfully hairy, and for that personal touch, scrawl out a quick note on the tape in permanent marker. the look on your victims face as he wakes up and has to rip that shit off himself is priceless!





anyone else had fun with this vesatile tool?

Hehe, duct tape, have I got a prank for this.

Alright well me and a bunch of my friends did this not to long ago. One friend of mine got his house TPed and was lookin for revenge, so me and a bunch of my friends got together and came up with a plan. We got a bunch of plywood peices and tons of duct tape and drove down to the TPer's house. It was very windy and it was hard to hear anything, which worked perfectly for us. We took the rolls of duct tape and went around his house with them, we made sure to cover his doors and windows completely with duct tape. After we finished off around half the rolls we got the peices of plywood out of the truck and put them over the windows and doors. We then went over those with the rest of the duct tape, going around the house some more. Whats great is that the TPer's house had strom doors over all the regular ones so they swung out. It was also a small house with one story so we covered it pretty good.

The next morning we found out that they couldn't get out of the house and had to call the fire department to rescue them. I couldn't stop laughing for hours.

Once we put hot gel (dunno if you call it that in english =E) in our couch's underpants (not the ones on him) and woke him up telling its time for Breackfast. Well like the good man he is he went and took out the only pair of underpants he had left and changed it. and about 15 minutes from it he rushed to the showers and didn't come out for and hour. Hilarious. At the moment.

Icy hot??? maybe just a guess

Okay I have a good one that we are going to do to my friend for his birthday.

Items needed:
Friend with girlfriend, positive EPT test, Wedding cake and its a boy balloons.

Have your friend's girl star acting wierd, morning sickness, fatigue easily, start saying she is late. Enter EPT, shes pregnant...your friend is now freaked out. When he comes over for his birthday celebration make sure all his friends have wrapped his presents in baby shower wrapping. That mixed with the Cake (with wedding topper) should send him over the top. He won't trust his girl until she finally has her period but ladies this is so worth it to totally burn your man.

I thought I should add my two cents on this one. It should be noted that the prankster needs a strong stomach and a freezer, and a cookie sheet that they don't mind ever using again. You can really put whatever you want in the cookie sheet but back during my freshman year we would pull this prank on a person that had spent the night drinking heavily so that there would be no chance he would think it was us. We'd freeze piss in the cookie sheet and with the dorm doors we had there was enough room between the frame and the door that we could slide the iced piss under the crack. When the prankee would wake up their room would reek of pee (unfrozen and all over the floor at this point) and they would blame only themselves because their door was locked from the inside.

Roller, that is absurdly, hilariously, uproariously funny. I approve.

im thinking animal blood. urine is so easily explainable.

Truly you're sick sick people

my kind of people, but you're not getting invited to my house.
