Be a Prankster
Ever wanted to be an awesome prankster? This article will make your dream come true!
Steps
- Be a good thinker. Great pranksters can come up with some pretty awesome pranks. If you're ever going to be a great prankster, you're going to have to, too. You'll also have to be able to think outside of the box.
- Keep your pranks secret. Certainly don't tell more people than you need to. Your prank could be ruined if you're not careful!
- Ask friends for help if you ever need it. If you do get a friend to help you, split up the steps evenly between the two of you to be fair.
- Always think twice before doing anything. Don't save the embarrassing realization for later!
- Don't spend too much money on a prank. You don't want to go overboard on just one prank - keep the pranks cheap!
- Be quick and efficient. Don't sacrifice the prank just so you can do some unimportant finishing touches. Think through the prank beforehand so you have everything you need and enough time.
- Be quiet. Snickering prematurely can murder a perfectly executed prank. Don't laugh, take deep breaths, and think about something entirely different. Imagine how you would really act if you didn't know about the joke.
- Pranks need to be carefully performed so that nobody is mad or hurt. At worst, the person should be rolling their eyes with a halfhearted smile. But if you make a mistake and cross that invisible line, you need to be willing to offer a sincere apology and quickly help reverse the damage, if possible.
Here are some great prank ideas
- Oops... This is a classic. Tightly wrap the toilet bowl under the lid in clear plastic wrap. A little weird? Yes. Gross? Yes. Worth it? Totally!
- Apology Note Want to get back at that glossy black Mercedes? Write on a piece of paper: "To the owner of this vehicle...I'm sorry for the damage I did to your car." and put it on their windshield under the wipers. The look on their face will be priceless! The time they spend trying to find the nonexistent damage makes this prank a winner.
- Prank Calls Prank calls are a great laugh. Though you should be careful not to be too cruel, they can definitely be worth the trouble!
- Fake foundation With teen girls, this will always be a scream. Literately.
- Prank Food There are so many pranks you can do with food! Salt instead of sugar, cardboard replacing lunch meat, and the very famous ingredient that can - er, alter the color of your urine.
- Egghead Offer someone a jackpot amount of money for breaking three eggs on his or her head. Hand them the first egg, let them crack it on their head. Hand them the second, the same thing happens. Then announce that the deal is off, that you're out of eggs, or a simple "flee with your tail between your legs" deal. They don't get the money, because they only broke two eggs. Be careful not to let them see the two eggs, because everyone can count to three.
- Toilet Paper Tuck a little toilet paper in the back of your friend's pants, then point it out ashamedly, admitting that it's been there since the last time they went to the bathroom.
- "I Have to Go Relieve Myself" Either on a brightly colored sticky-note or a smallish piece of paper, write a hilarious statement on the back and let it stick on your victim's back all day. Examples of good statements: "Kick Me," "This is what happens to those who tickle the Smurfs," and the all-time winner: "I Have to Go Relieve Myself." (Meaning "I have to go to the bathroom.")
