What's the best prank you've ever seen anybody pull?

My two friends were having a debate about who had better genetics. So I told one of them that the other was secretly training for a marathon to prove the other one wrong. So my friend believed me and started training for it for about a week until his motivation fizzled out. I was hoping he would train until the marathon that would have been epic.

The best are rarely harmless…

I’ve seen a lot of golf balls in a high school hallway. So many, I had not thought Titleist had made so many. I guess that’s the most innocuous example I can think of right now.

One of my first grown up jobs was in a print shop. We still used ink and roller presses. We had to mix our own ink and our primary red was named Warm Red. We would lay a big glob of it out where we mixed and call one of the new guys over. We would tell them they called it Warm Red because when the air hit the ink a chemical reaction would occur that actually gave off heat. We would emphasize this by waving our hand over top of it and saying, “You can actually feel the heat coming off of it. Check it out.” When the newb went run his hand over it the prankster would push the guy’s hand down into the red ink and everybody would laugh.

Did I mention that this ink did not wash off? It took a good week for it to wear off of your hand. It was a very bright red. Do you think that is the best prank ever? Hang on, I haven’t gotten to the best ever part.

I was training a new guy on one of the stock cutting machines and when he left to go to the bathroom, one of my buddies came over and said, “Let’s Warm Red the new dude.”

I said, “Hell yes.”, and set the prank up, telling the guy when he got back about this ink and it’s amazing properties. We walked back to the printing area where my buddy had set up and I walked over with my trainee, showing him the big glob of ink laying there.

I was midway through saying, “You can actually feel the heat coming off of it.”, and waving my hand over it, when the newb reached out and slammed my hand down in the big red mess. They had planned the whole thing out the day before and I had finally gotten the Rosie Palm I had been avoiding forever.

Never saw it coming. Best prank ever.

I did not witness it, but this is a senior prank I heard about. The graduating class at the highschool let loose three sheep inside the school the night after their ceremony with the numbers 1, 2, and 4 painted on their sides. The next day school employees spent the entire day looking for the third sheep.

My brother went to stop&shop with his friends found a bus open with the keys inside, he drove the bus and then drove up the stairs of my school and left it there..

It started out as a simple fart machine prank, good for a laugh or two we thought, but it went much further…

I invited my best friend and his girlfriend over to my apt. where my brother and I were living. We placed the fart machine under the seat cushion of the arm chair where my brother would sit, and the rest of us were on the couch. We were watching a movie and after a few minutes my best friend who had the remote triggered it… and unexpectedly my brother thought it came from me (since I was closest to him) so he said: “C’mon dude…” So we did it again a few minutes later and my bro still believed it was me. A few more times after that and he was holding his nose saying: “What’s wrong with you?!? You’re stinking up the aptartment!”... so we ran with it…We kept this going for about half an hour until he finally reached his breaking point. He stands up and says something like: “Fine! You like to fart? Have some of this!” He points his ass toward us, lifts his leg up sumo-style and let’s one rip…and after we’re done laughing hysterically we show him the fart machine and cherish the look on his face.

Two technicians in my yard were having a contest at pranking each other. Carole was working by Safeway, and saw a crab that had been thown away sitting in the dumpster. Next to the dumpster was a dead bird.
Carole came in late, and grabbed the keys to Neil’s truck. He put the dead bird under the drivers seat, and the dead crab behind the dash, above the steering column.
This was a Friday afternoon, and it was a hot weekend.
Neil opened his truck Monday morning, and was thrown back by the smell. He found the dead bird, and threw it out, cussing out Carole. He rolled down the windows in his truck, and tried to air it out.
On Thursday, he told Carole that, not only did his trucks cab still smell, it seemed to be getting worse!
On Friday, while driving over railroad tracks, a bunch of maggots shook lose and went all over his leg. He found the crab, and was sick for a few days.

@filmfann that’s not a prank, that’s vandalism and possibly assault.

I’ve done a lot of crazy shit in my youth:

Saran wrapped a car & covered it in oregano and honey.
Smeaed $1 store hand lotion all over peoples cars and dumped grass clippings on them .
Covered peoples lawns in shredded paper.
Used a super-soaker and yellow food coloring to color someones lawn piss yellow.
Made a smiley face out of soft & hard shell taco bel tacos on peoples cars.
Taco-sauce in pay-phone coin returns.
When I worked at a library I checked out 100 copies of the “Joy of sex” to a friend of mine and made them 10 years overdue.
I would take the tobacco out of someone’s smoke and then replace it in the pack, when they light it, poof it all burns at once.

Even after all that crap I think one of the funniest pranks that I saw (and im not really sure why it was that funny) but someone put like 200 reflector poles in my friend’s lawn while we were at a movie. I never figured out who did it but it was awesome looking.
