You sneaky prankster!

[Dionysos]

Has anyone ever pranked someone in such a way that you felt was really epic for a time?

This can include, but is not exclusive to April Fool's day pranks.



Discuss them here!



I've pranked some people a few times... mainly my dad and my sister. But one sticks out that I carried out 2 years ago on April Fool's that I did with my friends. It wasn't actually that funny or extreme, but it felt like it at the time.

I created a new msn account, grabbed a picture of a greek man with glasses and a curly afro and ta-dah! Dimitris Helios was born. D.H being the initials of my name as well, so I left tonnes of little clues (which no-one picked up on). Oh yeah, another clue was that it was his birthday... on April Fool's... So yeah.

Anyway as I had two versions of msn at the time I was able to be online with both my actual account and as Dimitris.

I had Dimitris add a selected bunch of gullible fools. The biggest fool of them all was my friend Torbo, who also joined here a bit.

But I'd annoy and wind up my victims with Dimitris, claiming that they had insulted him on a forum etc etc. Then in the case of Torbo he refered him to me, as Torbo thought I would like to meet a Greek person, which just made it all the more fun as I was able to say we actually knew each other very well, and he STILL did not pick up on it.

Then when I asked him what date it was and then wished him a happy April Fool's it was all full of lol and he genuinly felt like an idiot.



But yeah, in essence that isn't that geat... But because it was full of Torbo and he was so wound up and made lots of spelling mistakes and silly statements, it became epic .



But yeah, that's one, and a very small one.. What are your stories?

Yeah I've pulled a few pranks in my time. One thing that immediately springs to mind is just last weekend when me and my friends wouldn't get let into a pub.

We were pretty pissed off by this, especially since a friend was DJ'ing there that night. So we ended up buying a dozen eggs and chucking them over the fence into the beer garden, this was after our friend had finished his set of course, we aren't THAT fucking stupid

It was pretty cool to watch because we all through them at the same time so for a split second all twelve eggs were just floating in mid air (it was almost beautiful in some strange way ) then we just heard them all fall down and a few seconds after the music stopped. Yes it was juvenile. Yes we are assholes. But words cannot describe the shear hilarity of the night.

Another prank me and some friends pulled was when we decided to get some cones from a construction site and block off a road with them. But the catch was that we used the cones to send the cars on a detour through side streets which just ended up making them go round and round in circles. It wasn't long before someone realized that the cones were just put there for our amusement, but I found it quite funny indeed.

Snowed a good foot or so about 2 years ago when I was at work. Me and my future brother-in-law at the time were working until 10PM just as the snow was getting pretty heavy. Back and forth my Bro-in-law and my manager would play jokes on each other back and forth, and the best part was, I was always involved in both, but I helped out both parties; never was the victim.

Well since our manager saran-wrapped my bro-in-law's scooter/moped to a pillar in a mile of Saran-wrap, Ben (my bro-in-law) had an idea for getting him back when it snowed. Me and Ben worked 'til 10 that night, but our manager was scheduled to work 'til 1AM. So since it was snowing, my manager let Ben go home at 9PM, an hour early. Ben then told me he would come back at 10PM to pick me up and in the back of my truck he had 2 Snow Shovels. My manager dives a Red VW Bug, so we got out of his site out in the parking lot and burried the sucker in 6-7 feet of snow.

He came out of work at 1AM getting ready to head to Denny's for a late dinner/early breakfast with some friends, and he just came out, saw the pile, and walked right back inside from what he said. It took him over 45 minutes to unbury it that night. I was sound asleep at that point in my home.

I haven't pulled many pranks in my life but a "friend" of mine, who shall remain nameless (BustaMog), once sent a mentally challenged friend of his over to my house... twice... in the mid-afternoon telling him there was going to be a sleepover that night. He'd show up with all his game consoles and stuff to sleep in... and I'd have no clue why he showed up. >.>

I kicked the tard to the curb. <.<

Most memorable pranks you've pulled

Just got this idea for a thread, thought it could bring up some laughter as members list their most memorable prank(s) they've pulled on people for the fun of it.

For me, there is one prank I pulled that really sticks in my head, and I have to refrain from lol'ing whenever I think of it.

This was some many years ago now that this happened. Most days my brother would get up and have some cereal for his breakfast, and I took notice of it.

One morning, I went out into the kitchen and switched the sugar in the sugar bowl with the salt, and put the sugar where the salt was, in it's place.

When my brother got up that day, surely enough, he got out a bowl and put cereal in it, and a good wealth of what would normally be the sugar.

Then once he sat down and got a good spoonful of that salt covered cereal in his mouth, the look on his face. XD He sprung straight up off of the chair.

So, what is your most memorable prank you've pulled on someone? Looking forward to reading replies to this.

Placing a 'For Sale' sign outside my mates house cracked me up..didn't help that we leaned a large garden umbrella against his front door...when his father came out, it whacked him on the head. xD

Me and my mates lured my other mate into some shed, then we locked him in after spraying the place with a fire extinguisher. He came out coughing like fuck. xD

I placed some naked women pictures on my mates ICT coursework once, when he printed it out, I went to collect it for him and arrange it so he didn't see the pictures. As his teacher looked though it, she saw the pictures and was like 'what the hell is this?'. xD

I remember one time a group of us- 5 girls and 4 guys- were at Pizza Hut after seeing some film starring Nicholas Cage that I forgot the name of. One of the guys left his seat to use the toilet and we mixed in some pepper and chili granules into his coke. He came back and sipped it (a very long and large sip)- and he had to go back to the toilet. So we had to clean up what he did as a result.

I also remember how I became rather irritated when another guy I know would flaunt his new iPhone around just before the 3G model came out. It was also interesting to note that he was very protective of it. So what did we do to shut him up? We "borrowed" his iPhone from his bag and replaced with a £4.99 budget mobile phone. When he confronted us the next day, the person who took the iPhone actually genuinely lost it. So when the pranked person got a chance to buy the iPhone 3G, we "offered" his old iPhone back.

I've not really done any serious pranks.

I think the only think I've ever really done is try to do burn outs on my ex's lawn with one of my friends at the time and then later realised that it was the wrong house. XD

So I just pranked him to death every night so that he couldn't sleep.

He continued to pick up the phone and tell me to stop doing it. 0_o You'd think that if he was that annoyed he'd turn it off.

But yeah, nothing major.

I don't pull very epic pranks, but sometimes use an good ol' wallpaper-switch with a friend's pc. First you make a screenshot of his desktop with all the icons and stuff, then put all the icons in a folder you hide somewhere and switch his background into the screenshot with all the icons. It usually takes a couple of clicks for them to figure out what's wrong.

And for people who are really bad with computers, just change the wallpaper into something saying 'Serious virus warning. Wallpaper removed.' and watch them freak out.
