Well this one was inspired by OFFA's post in the thread 'What do you do in your free time?' What pranks have you pulled off in the past...? & have you been pranked?
This thread is made of win. Yes, I have been pranked, several times, but none of them were really great. However, I have pulled off some really great pranks, the best probably being the trash can one. Pretty much what it was, was me lying on the ground at a gas station, and one of my friends, wearing a home-made morgue outfit, walked up with a city trash can, and put me in it. The instant that lid closed, I heard someone yell at my friend, asking him what the hell he was doing. Half of the people at the station were going nuts trying to figure out what was going on, and whether there was really someone in the can. Then, without warning, my friend knocks over the thing, and I flopped out. So, at this point, I'm still pretending to be dead, or at least unconscious, and people are all astonished and stuff. My friend's apologizing for being so clumsy, and he stuffs me back into the trash can (which actually hurt). Then some guy asks whether it's standard procedure for the morgue, and says he's calling the cops. That was my cue to jump out. I'm not allowed to go to that gas station anymore. Permanently banned.
That's fuckign ace man! When I worked at steve and barrys, I put up a sign that said "No Looking, No Touching, No Buying" and when people asked my friend michelle questions and stuff she responded "I'm not allowed to help you, against our policy" But that was only for one day when our manager was out for a week and we had some replacement crazy woman to look over the store. I'm suprised we didn't get fired.
My brother and a friend of mine once labeled everything in my room with a label maker. I was quite upset. And I've yet to get them back. I will though. I will.
Well. About a week ago, I got a new sim card. Then during the week I texted one of my friends who didn't have my new number saying "This is your future self. Do not leave your house on Friday or you will die horribly." He'd been planning to spend the Friday with his girlfriend (I didn't actually know this) and he thought someone was stalking them. Then about an hour later I sent another saying "Don't get that vasectomy either." Inspired by South Park and The Office.
I'm planning something right now, actually. It's been in the works for the better part of two weeks, but I had to stop doing it, because there was something going on down at the school. But, hopefully, within about a week or two, I'll be able to do it, and get it on film. But if any prank I ever do has to do with a trash can again, I'm cleaning it out. That thing STUNK. I guess it was worth it, but it still stunk. Anyway, yeah, I'm going to do this next prank, and hopefully get it on film.
A couple months ago, my best friend and I pulled a pretty epic prank on a friend and his girlfriend. We decided we were going to have some huge, epic argument about something completely and ridiculously stupid, and we were going to do it in front of my friend. One night, they were all over, and I made an off-hand comment about something, and my friend, who I told to start arguing with me at any point, started, well, arguing with me. Eventually, it got to the point where I could barely keep a straight face, so I told him to leave my apartment. He left, and drove to McDonald's, where he'd get food I'd given him money earlier for. So my friend and his girlfriend were sitting there, stunned. I asked them if they wanted anything from McDonald's, acting like nothing happened. Then I left the room, texted my friend at McDonald's what to get, and came back. Then my friend and his girlfriend started yelling at me, telling me it was stupid for me to kick him out, which I didn't anticipate. But after about five minutes, my friend threatened to leave. As he and his girlfriend go to the front door, my other friend came back with McDonald's for all of us. And they were mad. It was awesome.
I broke the handle off a mug (accidentally) but if you put the handle on the mug you can't tell its broken sooo..I decided to make coffee in that mug for my sister & she was looking 2 me and talking & she picked it up(still not looking @ the mug) & drinks......nothing.... She did get me back that night, by not telling me that the cat had climbed into my bed....
My flat mate and i managed to get hold of some Police Crime Scene tap from one of the labs on campus, we taped it to another flat mates door, printed off an A4 sheet of paper with there picture on asking for people have seen them with a phone number on and left a card with a police officers name on with contact information, when my flat mate came home she freaked. knocking on peoples doors asking what had happened, it was done quite well. When she found out it was a prank she went nuts and has been trying to get us back ever since
A few years ago me and my friends were going through an imitating Jackass/Dirty Sanchez phase and we had a video project called V.D.I. (which stood for Very Dangerous & Irresponsible). This project contained segments of us doing pranks, stunts and just generally immature stuff. Here are a few pranks we played on people: 1) Chocolate Mousse Shit This involved my friend David dressing up like a homeless person and acting completly fucking crazy. The segment was that in a crowded area (we actually did this on Oxford Street in London which is probably one of the busiest places in London) David would proceed to eat chocolate mousse out of a diaper, giving the illusion that he was eating shit. All the while he would be rambling to strangers and would even walk up to people with the chocolate mousse on his hands and try to shake their hands. The best part of this prank was when we went into a public toilet and chucked the mousse all around the stalls which made the place look just plain nasty to those who didn't know it was only chocolate mousse. Some of the expressions on peoples faces were just priceless. 2) Calling FRANK When I look back on this one now I think it's probably the stupidest thing ever but at the time it had everyone in stitches. Basicly over here in the UK we have a telephone hotline called FRANK which is dedicated to people talking and asking about drugs. We called them up and I will remember the conversation til the day I die. I can't remember the words exactly but it went something like this: [R=My friend Richard F=FRANK representitive] F: Hello this is Frank, how can I help? R: Hi...hello is Frank there please? F: Yes this is Frank R: Oh hi...yeah I was just calling up because I have a really big drug problem F: Okay, well how can we help R: You wouldn't know where I could get any would you? F: Unfortunatly that's not what we specialise in, we aim to try and help those who have problems with drugs R: Well I do have a problem, I aint got any F: That's not our concern I'm afraid *Hangs up* 3) Bad Pizza Richard fell victim of this one. We decided to order a pizza one day after filming some skateboarding. Richard had to go home to get something quickly so we told him we'd save him some pizza. While he was gone we put all manner of horrible stuff on his pizza including pubic hair, washing up liquid, baking powder, egg yoak, eggshells, earth, pebles and other stuff that I wont care to mention and we made sure he didn't suspect anything because we put everything underneath the cheese and toppings part. When he got back we saved 2 slices for him but me and my friend Charlie had one left and we challenged him to see if he could eat his two slices before we could eat one. It was perfect as he excepted and stuffed one grusome slice down his throat before chucking it back up almost instantly. The reaction was perfect because he was like ''those pizza hut bastards gave me off pizza". There were loads others but we focused mainly on doing stunts and daring each other to do stuff. For example I hate 5 indonesian chilis in one go. That wasn't very pleasent I must say.
Ah, prank calls. The McVities helpline or something along those lines (advertised on a Jaffa Cakes box as 'Jaffaholics Anonymous) Operator: Hello, this is the McVities helpline. Me: This is Jaffaholics Anonymous, right? I'm John Middleton and I think I have a Jaffa Cake problem. Operator: Is this a serious enquiry? Me: You don't understand. The other day I was standing on the platform at Kings Norton station, when I dropped a Jaffa Cake. It rolled onto the track so I went after it. Then a train came and ran over one of my balls! It's ruined me! Operator: *hangs up*
One of the best prank calls I've ever heard was by a comedian we saw in Edinburgh; he phoned up the Lynx hotline, complained about how the Lynx effect wasn't working for him and recorded it. It was so funny but probably one of those things you'd have to hear.
Isn't recording phone calls illegal? Then again with Labour that would be a bit of a double standard. Those rotten politicians, haha.
I love prank calls....the best part is the person on the other side can never say who is behind it...especially if you use a person they never heard before.. My cuz & I prank called a friend of mine in Durban...saying she was a secret admirer & she was gonna meet him at a mall at a certain time....1 week later I phone my friend & we were talking & he told me about this "strange phone call" & when he went there, she wasn't there.....
