What’s the best prank you’ve pulled? I was at this one halloween store and saw this realistic-looking rat. I threw it without warning to my friend, and he caught it while simultaneously screaming like a little girl. He then threw it smack dab on the floor while still screaming. Seeing him crying for dear life = priceless.
One time, I gave this girl a pink sock. It. Was. AWESOME. The best part is that she was unconscious.
Over a period of weeks, pasted cutouts of my smiling face over this one colleagues family and friends in his desk photos. Started off subtle - in a group photo, I’d paste myself two people away from my colleague. Eventually grew to be every photo on his desk was him (unaltered) and a collection of beaming me’s. Family photo with wifey and two kids in the yard? WRONG, family photo is now you with your arm around a beaming supersadface, with two young supersadface’s looking up angelically. I still think this was hilarious. He eventually noticed when a client pointed it out to him. Other stuff includes filling a co-workers desk with styrofoam packing peanuts, post-it shingling another colleagues cube. When I worked for the dot-com company I interned at in college, we made it appear to our manager that the site had been hacked on April Fools (only looked that way from his computer).
A buddy of mine owns an autobody shop and found a bunch of gay porn mags in a totaled car one day. We grabbed a few and stashed them under another buddy’s mattress when he had a party a few weeks later and his wife found them (as planned) a couple of days later when she changed the sheets. She already had them signed up for couples therapy by the time we fessed up.

We pulled the XD card out of a co-workers digital picture frame while he was on vacation for a week and strategically place 10 extremely inapproriate pictures among the hundreds he had on there. We let it run the week he was out and it took him a full week after he was back before he noticed. The key was only putting 10 on there and have them play randomly so they would only come up a few times daily. They weren’t quite offensive enough to get him fired (no nudity) but offensive enough to be cleary out of bounds (think Bruno pictures).
I pulled a really good one when I was 14. Back them I lived in the UK, but had sepnt several months in the US, where I picked up this totally American accent. I was at a freind place with the usual gang and we got bored, so we decided to make a few prank calls. I - with my newly acquired American accent - masked as the VJ for this new American radio station that was launching in the UK. I called up classmates of mine, and made them audition for a quiz show. Most of them fell for it and thought they were actually being recorded for an upcoming radio show. One of my friends had to leave the room or else she would have peed herself laughing during my conversations. Then I got one guy on the line. he didn’t belive me at first, so I got him talking by asking him who his favorite band was. He said ‘The Hole’. I had picked up somehwere that Courtney Love was their lead singer. They were totally unknown in the UK, and since I knew that, he believed every single word I said afterwards. I then told him that we were also auditioning young singers, so he began to tell me about the songs he had written, and I made an audition appointment with him, and gave him a time and date. I actually felt guilty about that one guy, but he never went to the fake audition anyway, as everyone in school discovered what had happened the day after and it didn’t take them long to figure out it was me.
i have some good pranks, but there is a funny story from work today that i’d like to share…going to start a separate thread for this.

i put a banana in my boss’ filing cabinet. don’t worry, i filed it under B for banana so he could find it. i didn’t realize that he never uses his filing cabinet, though. about 4 months later, i asked about it, but he had no idea what i was talking about. he pulled it out (quite easily since i filed it properly) and it was just a black rotten mess. it was a small victory, but i was proud of myself.

I have the strange urge to try this. Maybe get a few Cucumbers under C as well…
My freshman year of college I called home on April fools pretending to be freaked out and said that I was in jail in Mexico.

I have a few stories. Last year around my former coworker’s birthday, I got our boss in on a prank. I had gotten a cake and decorations etc for the coworker and wanted to surprise him. I wanted the boss to keep him out of the kitchen, but also to get him there eventually, once everyone else was there. I also wanted to prank this guy. So I asked our boss to tell the guy that it was time for his annual review. HAHAH!!! We all hate these where I work, and the guy almost shit a brick. Our boss dragged him all over the floor pretending to look for an empty conference room to give him the annual reaming, er, review. Finally he said, “There are no conference rooms so we’ll have to try the kitchen.” When they came in, we all shouted “Surprise!” it was a great prank, but of course when it was time for my own review, I totally expected cake, too, but all I got was the review. Oh well. I played another prank on a boss. He was the kind that hated off-sites and touchy-feely team bonding crap. There was an all day off-site coming up for cultural change or something like that. I wrote an email detailing the offsite, saying that everyone would have to wear special t-shirts, bring three ideas for cultural change and there’d be group songs, team building exercises and so on, a fun and empowering all day event! I then forwarded it to his boss (the VP), who had agreed to help me prank this guy. In Outlook, you can easily forge headers from a forwarded message. I emailed my little invitation it to the VP, then opened it in HTML from his desk and edited the original sender’s address (me) to make it appear as though it had been sent by the EVP. It looked completely authentic. The email also said that if the VP couldn’t go, he needed to delegate someone, as representation from my department was mandatory. The VP forwarded it to my boss, commenting, “Sorry pal, guess you are on the hook.” HAHAHAHA my boss came running out of his office, saying “YOU KNOW I had scheduled a dentist appointment that day! I am not going, send DoubleDip!” Even after both of us told him it was a joke, it took him a good five to ten minutes to calm down and get over it.

In university I lived in a house with a couple of other friends. For a couple months straight I was hooked on eating cereal as a snack, just right out of the box. One day, after I finished my latest box of cereal, I filled the box back up about a 1/4 of the way with cat food. Grabbed a hand of fresh cereal from a new box and walked into the living room eating the cereal from my hand. One of my roommates was there and I just casually offered him some cereal as I munched away on my handful. Roommate grabs a big handful and just throws it back. As he’s chewing I just see this disgusted look come over his face, which is when I told him it was cat food. We were actually laughing about that this past weekend. Most of our other pranks weren’t that sly; throwing KD powder on someone just as they finished showering was a classic go-to.
in college, brosef went to pet shop and bought 1000 crickets
he was pissed at dude at barracks/dorm so threw all 1000 into the room
it was pretty funny, but i lived next door … those crickets chirp like a mofo nonstop
I stabbed my roommate with a needle and said it was AIDS. Surprise! It was only sugar water. Anyway, that was the first time I was expelled from college.
