What's your favorite (non-destructive) prank? It can be one that either you played on someone or that they played on you. Hell, tell me about a good prank you'd like to play on someone.

I'd also like to keep it legal and non-destructive if possible. I don't want to hear about the time you rang Mr. McFeely's doorbell and clubbed him in the head with a framing hammer. (Everyone knows that you should use a balpeen hammer in that case anyways...)

Here's one I heard George Clooney talk about on the radio that I've always wanted to try out:

For approximately one month, everytime his friends would call him and ask if he wanted to go out, he told them that he had an art class to go to. He bought some brushes and some paints and had them sitting on his coffee table when his friends came over...
George then started going to yard sales until he found the most hideous painting he could find. He wrapped it up and gave it to his friend as a gift, telling him that he'd worked forever on it and was proud at what he had painted.
Even though his friend hates the picture, he appreciates the effort and doesn't wish to hurt George's feelings. So, his friend puts the painting above his fireplace. George said that the hideous picture was hanging above his friend's fireplace for damn near a year...

I haven't yet had the opportunity to try this one, though it happened to a friend's brother.

There's this stuff called Ambusol (sp?). It's topical novacaine gel. Anyway, you dip someone's toothbrush in it. It dries clear and has not taste or smell. So the unsuspecting victim puts some toothpaste on, then brushes their teeth. The ambusol kicks in, and their entire mouth (assuming they brushed well) goes numb. Not only that, but they start drooling. So they have a numb, drooling mouth for quite a while. I think it takes a few hours for that stuff to wear off completely.

One of my all time favorite pranks is to take a snap n pop (the tiny explosive wraped in a piece of paper) and place under the little knob on a toilet seat, then someone comes along and sits down on the toilet and.......POP!....SCREAM!!!!

Any of you ever waterski or fish or do anything that involves pouring gas from one of those red jerry cans into another tank.

Well, anyway. I was a waterski instructor for a couple of summers and when we would have to fill up the tank on the boat we would go fill up those red jerry cans and then bring them down to the boat and trasfer the gas from one to the other.

Inevitably when doing this you would get some gasoline on your hands. If you have ever gotten gasoline on your hands you would know that it does not come off easily and even when you get it off the smell is there for the rest of the day.

So the prank is that as soon as you get some gasoline on your hands you bring you hand close to your nose and you say to the closes person (usually this is your friend or your co-instructor) "hmm, this smells funny". The other person, almost without exception, leans over for a smell.

When they are taking a wiff of your gasoline hand you brush it against their nose so that a little of the gasoline gets on their nose.

They end up smelling the gasoline all day.

This also works with anything else that is smelly.

Not sure why it is funny, but it is.

My friend's boss had a habbit of helping himself to candy without asking whenever one of the employees brought some to work. My friend decided to play an April fools joke on him.

Since April 1 is near Easter, my buddy purchased a bunch of Easter candy. We took the candy marshmallow eggs out of the carton, all except one which was left alone, as proof that they were Ok to eat. The other 5 were wood chips we took from the garden and filed down to egg shape and covered with baking chocolate. He brought that pack and some other candy to work with him on the 1st. He handed out real candy to everyone but the boss, then opened the wood chip candies and ate the real one, leaving nothing but the wood chip eggs. He left them sitting on his desk.

The boss took the bait, hook line and sinker! He was gnawing on the wood chip for a good minute before my friend told him what it was!

Best one we had was a college, each dorm had a washbasin with a little cupboard under.

Well we knew a guy that would never go to the communal bathroom at night (hell, most of us did it at one time or another, but his was regular), he would just piss in the sink. Well one day we removed the U-Bend from the sink. Thing is these rooms weren't very big and you had to store you Dishes and Pots somewhere. Hehehe...

For the next few weeks everytime I had a bird round my room he would bang on the door and generally make so much noise it would put both of us off.

This one sucks... But funny nonetheless...

Put a rubber band around the kitchen sink's sprayer nozzle (The one that's attached to a hose and only works when the lever is pressed). Aim it at where the person normally stands when using the sink. When they turn the water on, hilarity ensues.

You have to be kind of mean spirited to do this one, take a good sized piece of saran wrap and stretch it over a toilet, the chaos goes from there.

I've never done this mainly cuz I'm not really mean spirited.

Here's another one that I heard during that interview with Clooney:

Every morning when he woke up before his roommate, he'd clean out the cat's box. He didn't think anything of it at first...just cleaning up cat crap. Well, after a couple of days of doing it, his roommate told him that he tought something was wrong with his cat. His roommate explained to George that the cat hadn't crapped in a few days. So, George continued to clean out the box every morning for over a week. The roommate gets more and more concerned until he decides that the next day he's going to take the cat in to see the vet.

That next morning, George cleans out the litterbox as normal, and squats over it himself, leaving a human sized gift behind.
So now the roommate thinks that the cat saved up for over a week, and left a huge gift behind in the litterbox...

when I see a map laying somewhere - a map of America, for example, I look around for a tack. If I find one, I put it on the map.

Then I say, "Look, America is under attack!"

That cat prank is awesome!

A friend of mine got me, and some others with this prank. He took some black Ink and put It on a pair of Binoculars, so after I looked thru them, I now had these black circles around my eyes. Those fuckers let me walk around for ten minutes before I realized what they did.


My revenge... I took a big piece of white cardboard and wrote on It... I'm Gay, and proud of It... Honk If you support Gay pride.

I taped the cardboard on the tailgate of his truck, on his drive home he had several cars pass him on the freeway blowing their horn and laughing at him.


Another favorite of mine Is to take some of that packaging bubblewrap and tape It to the top of a car or truck tire, when they start to drive away, POP.. It scares the shit out of them, But no harm done.

Munku

The gay pride thing OWNS.. omg rofl!!!

duckduck

It's rather disgusting and I've yet to do it (all the dorm rooms had a wooden lip so I couldn't do it). Pee in a cup and fill about a quarter of inch full. Place the cup in the freezer. You should end up with a thin hockey puck of pee. Slip it under his door at night when he's sleeping. When he wakes up, his room smells like a toilet.

It's very mean spirited and I've never done it to anyone.


Another one is to get a whole bunch of garbage bags. Tape them to their door edges securely except the top. Fill completely with balled up newspaper. When they open the door inwards, it all comes in.

The obligatory penny lock trick is fun, too.

okay... haven't had a mark worthy of this trick yet, but i'm looking...


you take a can of regular shaving cream and throw it in the freezer. let the contents completely freeze, then take a can opener and remove the bottom of the can. quickly throw the can into your mark's closet or locker or drawer or whatever enclosed space you can find, as the shaving cream thaws it will expand and fill up whatever space you put it into. just sit back and watch yoru mark open up whatever you sabotoged.

Most of the time when someone new starts at work, someone pages them over the intercom asking to dial #60
#60, of course, is the intercom.

At my last job one of us would get an outside line and call the shop when a new receptionist had just started, and ask her to page an ex-employee...that drove the boss absolutely nuts...hehehe

I've read about the frozen shaving cream one, but wonder...how long do you need to freeze it?

phredgreen

until it's not gonna come gushing out when you pop off the back of the can. overnight sounds appropriate
