Cynthetiq, The hearing aid reminds me, I found a remote control that looked very similar to our stereo remote but it didn't work so I sit it up on the tv stand as a decoy, so my dad is watching TV with his satellite remote while I have the stereo remote, every 20 seconds I'd turn down the volume 1 notch, he turned the satelittle volume up every minute or two until he reached max while I was still turning down the master volume. He looks over and say,"ARE YOU TURNING DOWN THE VOLUME!?" Then I point out that the remote is sitting beside the tv so he gets up to get the decoy remote but it doesnt work. the next day he buys some batteries and before he puts them in the decoy I switch it with the real one, and it magically works. 10 minutes later he leaves the room and I switch them again and when he comes back I start turning down the volume again... I switched 15-20 times over 2-3 days before it started to really piss him off.

3 pigs, sheeps, or rodents will work for this. Paint a number 1, 2, and 4 on them and let them loose in the dorm/school/office/anything. they cant #3 because there is none.

When I was in High School, I and two other people from the computer club (yeah I was a nerd) where writing a program to let two terminals comunicate with each other. You have to realize that these were teletype terminals on a time share system connected by acoustical modem! Why? We were writing an interactive version of the popular Star Trek game (yeah I was REALLY a nerd).

So anyway, our teacher comes in one day after school (we had free access to the computer room) and wants to know what we're doing. We told him we had written an artificial intelligence program and proceeded to demonstrate it by talking to the kid in the other room via teletype. He gets all excited but insists on "talking to the computer" himself to see if we were faking. Of course , the kid in the next room, who can hear everything is going along with it.

Before we could tell him he shouts "This is AMAZING! The principal has got to see this!" and runs out of the room. I should mention the teacher wasn't too swift. Taught math too.

The principal takes one look at some the obviously sarcastic replies from "the computer" and says "it's a joke right?". Poor teacher took a long time to get over that one.

Visited a friend in another state, and on the day we were leaving, he went to work before we took off. Big mistake. We messed with everything.

But the best one was the answering machine. We changed his message. It wasn't obscene or embarassing, just original. "Hi. This is the answering machine bandit. I change people's messages. You know who you called, so leave them a message. Have a nice day."

He was getting compliments on his message for a month before he finally checked it. Very easy, really subtle, and definitely funny.

Here my favorite!!!
Lift the lid and the seat on the toilet. Then take Saran Wrap and cover the bowl. Lower the seat and lid. When your wife or g/f comes in to pee, they will never see the clear wrap. If you did a good job, they sit and pee and it splashes up against them and goes all ove the floor!!!!!!!!

Go to the website (or actually go to) of your local zoo, and find a popular animal in the zoo who's name sounds like a human name. (may be a last name).

Then leave a message note on your co-workers desk to call back (the zoo's number) and ask for the animal.

Whenever at restaurants with friends I always take sugar packets, empty them, and fill them with salt. Then I get one of them to eat it. The ensuing hilarity is great, but one time my friend thought eating sugar wasn't hardcore enough so he snorted it... except it was salt. He was in the bathroom for the next 10 minutes, but for the rest of us it was great.

A syringe full of hot sauce into the bottom of a coke can. Tape the bottom shut, no one ever notices until they drink it

oh, and a few drops of visine in a drink (not too much, it is kinda poisonous), but a few drops will give you the runs real quick

You obviously have neither...


they can be simple...

height adjustment lever on an office chair... change someone's chair height drastically and cover the lever in hand lotion. The looks on people's faces when they reach down and something goes *squish* in their hands... it's priceless.

or elaborate...

I was in a massive practical joke contest some years ago that was escalating quickly out of control. The final two shots were the fire department being called about half an hour before the victim usually came home about smoke coming from the house and we know there's an elderly invalid who won't be able to get out... the front door got hacked in with an axe shortly before the victim got home. Return fire: the other guy had a woman he'd been wooing in another city coming into town for a long weekend and this would be their first night "together" (wink wink). Let's say his name was, "Bob." So the next morning... very early... a high-end party company shows up for "little Bobby's" 7th birthday party. We're talking large animals, clowns, midgets - no expense was spared. All tapping on every window in the house, "Bobby! Wake up!!!" To the best of my knowledge, the rest of the weekend was icy and she never saw him again. A truce was finally called shortly thereafter.


Actually did fill an office cubicle with packing peanuts over a week when someone was on vacation. The next step was to seal it and turn it into a giant Sea Monkey aquarium, but un-doing it was going to be more trouble than it was worth, so it never materialzed.

Bought a light dimmer device with a remote control device that communicated through the power lines... so you plug the device into a wall, plug a lamp into it... then plug the control in anywhere else that's convenient... right? So, when the head sales guy in the office I worked in at the time went home one night, I picked the lock on his office, took his desk lamp back to the lab and eviscerated it and the dimmer module, planting the guts of it inside the base of the lamp. When I was done, there was no external change on the lamp whatsoever. Replaced the lamp and gave the sales guy across the hall the control unit. They both had windows facing the hallway so they could see each other and he spent a good two weeks torturing this guy with miniscule changes in brightness on that desk lamp... and he could see the guy going bonkers over it all day. It was delicious.

There's more. Later...
=)

Welcome to the TFP,

you really should read all the posts because well someone posted this just 8 posts over yours...

I was gonna PM you with a MOD cryptic pissed off message about not reading posts and you'd possibly get banned, but then again, that's not my style... but it would have made for a good prank and then I could have posted it.

I don't know how to put some of the stupidity I have done. I don't know what to call them so i will just let you be the judge of it.

The First one, my cousin is scared shitless of anything. So we were watching the other...which is just a lame movie. and at the most suspenseful point, i creep outside and wrap on the windows...she almost had a heart attack, and then tried to kill me on the front lawn.

The second one, I was with some friends upstate, and it gets really foggy there, we were sitting on the fence...drunk...and chucking little spikey balls at cars. Yea it was stupid which I now realize and no one got hurt. But it was funny to see the car hit their brakes.

The third one, we were driving around shooting off bottle rockets, and one misfired hitting a truck. This truck started following us and we ducked into a neighborhood. Unfortunately, the truck knew the neighborhood and met us on the other side. And these big guys are waiting for us. My friend throws it in reverse and hauls ass out of neighborhood while these marine sized guys are chasing us down. Something else I will never do.

Th last one Number 4, We had one of those 150 yard water balloon launchers and we were launching this water ballons hitting a major road. My friend got the bright idea to launch fruit. Long story short one of the peaches hit a car window....

To go along with the lawn-killer ice cubes, try Roundup water balloons. Same effect.

If you know someone who uses stick deodorant (not roll-on and not gel), take a staple and break off one of the small legs. Then stick this in the middle of the deodorant so that it's flush with the top. As the victim uses his/her deo, the staple will scrape their armpits resulting in much irritation, and laughs for you.

I am not the type to put razor blades in apples or anything that does serious bodily injury
but one thing that I find to be fun is to get one of those small butane torches and use a pair of tweezers of pliers and hold a quarter over the flame. Then when you see someone coming throw the red hot quarter on the sidewalk and watch them pick it up then just listen to them scream and throw the quarter down
Be sure to do it to someone that is old or crippled - I learned that the hard way because the first time I did it this guy beat the shit out of me

Going to Daytona for Spring Break I was pissed that I got stuck driving most of the way. There were three of us in one car and two in the other. One of the others in my car was a HORRIBLE driver almost killed us at least three times. The other one drove for like an hour and a half and felt that he had done his part. The trip was like 19 hours and I drove for about 13 of them.

So, as they were both asleep (or half asleep) I pulled up behind a tractor trailer cab that was being towed. I pulled right up on the front bumper of the cab (they're towed backwards) and screamed and jerked the wheel from side to side a little. Both guys woke up screaming with a full view of the grill of a tractor trailer in front of them.

Not sure if I saw this in a movie or what. But whereever the idea came from it worked. I was crying it was so funny.

I didn't do this, but my brother did.

He was in his first year of college and living in halls.

A friend of his went away for 2 weeks.

They broke into his room, sprinkled grass seed all over the floor, watered it for 2 weeks, then put five rabbits in there (the uni campus was covered in bloody rabbits). The guy comes back to a small meadow in his room

A small little joke for the people living in the dorms. Cover the doorway in saran wrap, leave a little opening at the top. Pop a whole buch of popcorn. Proceed to fill the doorway with popcorn. Wait for the morning, listen down the hall for the person to cuss out whoever, as they clean up all the popcorn that has now spilled into their room, and have to tear down the saran wrap.

Did this to one of my buddies, laughed my ass off when he opened his door.


P.s. make sure the door opens inward. Most dorm room doors do!

I did this to a friend of mine, who thinks he is a computer wizard.....

go to a computer and close everything so only the desktop is visible, no minimized windows or anything, press "print screen" go to paint, paste it and save it, then go to properties and set it as the screen saver, now after you've done that, highlight ALL icons and either delete them or put them in the very corner of the screen so that they are almost impossible to see, just wait for the person to try and open "My Computer" or anything else.... muahahahahahahahha

This one is the ULTIMATE practical joke, but takes some planning.

We had this guy at our office that would always go get our dinner (2nd shift). Well he isn't the most computer savy guy so it worked out better than we could have expected.

We downloaded and registered remote havoc from here and installed the client software on his machine and set it up to run at startup. Then we installed the master software on both of our machines. This program is great, we started out with suttle things like opening the cd-rom drive, and playing tones. Then we started opening up porn sites on his machine. The greatest though was writing official sounding warnings and popping them up on his screen like "Windows has caused a fatal memory error in sector 7g and needs to be rebooted". This went on for a few hours, then I started writing them in spanish and german. The next day we were all standing around and the IT guy was working on someone elses machine, and this guy goes up to the IT guy and starts explaining his problem to him. I just about lost it when he told the IT guy about the spanish and german warnings.

Classic college pranks:

1. Vaseline on the doorknob

2. Lean a trash can full of water against your vicitm's door. In the morning when he wakes up and leaves - SPLASH!!!

3. The ol' Penny Jam - cram as many pennies as you can between the door and the frame, locking your victim in his room!

This will sound stupid, but I put a fake message on my dad's desk that said L.C. de Cowe had called and put the Borden's number down. He called and asked for L.C. de Cowe and the man started mooing at him. It is still the only time I have ever fooled him.

Booboo

This is one my step dad told me about.. Get some Laxitive gum, not sure if its still around, but when he was in school it was. Anyway they look and taste like regular chicklets.

Fill a bowl with them and either put them in a lounge area or in your room by the door and keep your door open all day.

I'm sure you can imagine the results..=P

in high school there was this teacher that never let us do anything in their classroom... so as our "senior prank" we bought about 2500 paper cups and filled them with cheap fruit punch from sheetz... we placed them all over the inside of his classroom.. starting in one corner and working our way out towards the doors... it was wall to wall paper cups filled to the brim with fruit punch... he walked in the next day... and needless to say it was quite a mess...

another thing i want to try sometime...

take a candy bar.. a nutty one will work best i think.. break it into smaller pieces and put it inside one of the five gallon bottles for the water cooler at your place of work... then replace the current bottle with the one you've put the candy into... go back to work and just wait for everyone to start saying stuff about it.. then act surprised.. for further effect... fill a cup with water from said bottle and drink it down quickly.. claiming it tastes good..

I'm also a big fan of the zip tie around the driveshaft thingy, it's pretty frickin hilarious, but can cost the person $~75 if they take it to a shop to see wtf is wrong with it :-/

Okay this is was the "senior class" prank before graduation when I was in highschool. A bunch of people pitched in and bought this really old junker Mustang car (our mascot is the Mustangs). They painted it our school color, and snuck it in one night. Somehow they did some weird welding job where the split part of the car or something, so they could wrap it around the flagpole in the front, then they welded it back together. Don't ask me how it was done, I wasn't there. I'm sure any mechanics or welders would understand how the prank was done. Anyway, when everyone got to school, there was an old beat up Mustang perfectly impaled at the bottom of our flagpole. It was pretty dang funny. The principle thought it was funny too, so he let it stay there until the end of the year.

i really want to hear more if anyone has them....its been a while since anyone posted in this, so someone is bound to have some good pranks

I generally despise prank threads because you always get the people that can't tell the difference between pranks and crimes. You know, the people that think killing your neighbor's dog and putting it on their doorstep will get a kick, or the infamous "take a cold fusion reactor outside, shoot it with a gun and it will blow up half of your neighborhood!"

Yes, I've seen both of those listed as "pranks" on some forums.

Anyway, the only prank I ever did was an extremely easy one that involved spreading a good amount of Orajel on my brother's toothbrush. That was pretty funny.

One day my father fell asleep on the sofa. Then my brother and i took some shaving cream and put it on our dads hand. Then we tickled his face with a feather and our dad smacked his hand full of shaving cream right in his face.
