Play a Prank

Looking for fun? A harmless prank is a good way for you and your friends to have a good laugh. This article will show you pick a good prank that you can get a good laugh out of and won't cause any long-lasting damage.

Steps

Easy Pranks

  1. Change a friend or coworker's tech settings to another language. Get hold of their Facebook, phone or computer and change all the settings to Latin, or Spanish, or German, anything they don't speak.
  2. Change a few common words on Word or Outlook autocorrect. When your friend tries to type something, it automatically puts in the misspelled word. You can also do this in your friend's autocorrect on their phone so when they try to text they get really weird or hilarious words.
  3. Dip the ends of pens in clear nail polish. Do this to your coworkers or your family members. The ink won't be able to get through and no one will be able to write anything.
  4. Put clear nail polish on some soap. Leave it in the shower or by the sink so you can watch. It won't lather and your victim(s) won't be able to wash their hands, or figure out why the soap won't work.
  5. Pretend raisin cookies are chocolate chip cookies. Bring a large batch of raisin cookies into work and say that they are chocolate chip cookies. Watch as everyone gets really mad when they take a bite. To spice it up a little put some pepper in.
  6. Fill a mayo jar with vanilla pudding. Watch as someone makes a sandwich (or be really helpful and make them a sandwich). Or you could grab in down while you're with your friends and starting digging into the mayo.
  7. Switch the salt and the sugar. Put sugar in the salt shaker and put salt in the sugar bowl (or even in the sugar bag).

Medium-Level Pranks

  1. Put a piece of tape over a friend or coworker's computer mouse. The mouse won't connect to the screen and it will drive them crazy trying to get their mouse to work. If you're feeling extra hilarious, put a funny picture on the underside of the mouse so they know who's responsible.
  2. Put yellow food coloring in the toilet tank. The toilet tank has the water the replenishes the water supply in the toilet bowl when you flush. Every time someone flushes the toilet it will make it look as if the toilet is broken.
  3. Make a bottomless box. Cut through the bottoms of all the cereal boxes in your house and leave them upright in the cupboard for a hungry, unsuspecting victim to grab.
  4. Get someone stuck holding an egg through a door. When a friend or family member has their hands full, tell them you want to try an experiment. Get them to put their hand through a door and hold onto an egg. Then walk away, leaving them still standing, unable to leave without dropping the egg.
  5. Fill a deodorant container with cream cheese. Remove the deodorant stick from the container and replace it with a stick of cream cheese. You'll need to shape the cream cheese across the top of the deodorant container.

Difficult Pranks

  1. Cover a door with saran wrap. You will only want to cover the upper part of the door, otherwise their feet will hit the wrap instead of their face. (You may be able to trip the victim if you put it below!) Also you need to pull the saran wrap taut to tape it, otherwise your victim will see it. Enlist a friend to help.
  2. Cover an actual egg with chocolate. Get a real egg and cover it with melted chocolate. Allow to dry. Cover it with brightly colored foil, like a chocolate egg. Give to someone you love.
  3. Switch the handle on the fridge door. If you have a refrigerator that allows you to remove the handle, get a screwdriver and unscrew the handle. Switch it to the other side of the fridge, and screw it back in. People will try to open the fridge and get really frustrated when they can't.
  4. Fill a dozen cream donuts with mayo. Get a dozen cream filled donuts, scrape out the cream, and refill it with mayo. Take to work and anonymously leave it in the break room.
  5. Change all the clocks in the house. You'll need to have access to your victim's phone and computer, otherwise they will figure out pretty quickly what's going on. Change it to a couple hours ahead or behind.
  6. Saran wrap someone's car. Take saran wrap and wrap it all the way around your victim's car so they can't get into with without cutting it. You'll need a lot of saran wrap to pull this off.

Tips

  • It is important to hide in a good spot where they won't see you.
  • Make sure it's the right person!
  • Always make sure the person you prank won't get too mad after.
  • Don't forget to carefully read the instructions before doing anything.
  • Keep a straight face while you're pulling off the prank. If you start laughing your victim will know that something is up! Some tips for keeping a straight face are: curl your toes as tightly as possible, bite your tongue (not hard enough to draw blood), or bite the inside of your cheek.
  • If you want to do it to your parents, make sure they are in a good mood. If they are strict, don't do it at all.
  • Put brown playdoh on the floor and it will look like poop and be sure it is not actually poop.
  • If someone asked to borrow the sugar give salt instead.
  • When your dad or mom gets home, jump out at them or leave a note and watch them freak out.
  • A harmful prank can cause your victim to fight back.
  • Try not to do it at school. You might get detention! Especially if you go to a strict school.
  • Put a bucket of something on the top of a door and watch a person get covered in it.
  • If the prank gets messy, help the person you played the prank on clean up.
  • When doing to a teacher, principal, or co-worker, make sure that you are nice to them before and after pulling the prank, so that they do not expect it coming.
  • If your doing any of the food pranks try not to include any allergen ingredients.
  • When in doubt go with a pie in the face.
  • If you tell someone, make sure they can keep secrets or your prank will be ruined!
  • Make sure the prank is funny to every one... Not just you.

Warnings

  • Don't prank too often. Give your victims time to be lulled into a false sense of their own security.
  • Avoid pranks that hurt people. They aren't funny (especially to the victim) and they could cause problems for you!
  • If there is someone who gets extremely mad at pranks, don't prank them.
  • Try not to get into trouble with your teacher/parent.
  • Do not mess with the wrong person. If you think someone is in a bad mood and you prank them, there won't be a pretty outcome.
  • Do not play pranks on roads, it's dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
