Sunday, September 23, 2007 at 9:41AM Now THAT's got to be the smartest and funniest way to piss off telemarketers for good, listen to this phone call where the addressee pulls a stunning prank of a poor telesalesman acting as a police officer in a homizide investigation.
Tom Mabe pulled this prank which is featured in this radio show, listen to this...
Monday, August 13, 2007 at 3:23PM If you really want someone’s attention get one of those industrial size plastic foil wrap rolls companies use to wrap their palettes in.
You can do this prank yourself or get a hand by a couple of buddies. As a team you could actually wrap the entire building!
Its really simple and straight forward: in an unattended moment wrap just everything from someone you dislike or just want to pull a prank on. Entire desks are popular, lockers, bundles of clothes, coats, shoes, shelves, equipment, drawer content, books, plans, computers, bicycles, you name it…
The trick is to really use a LOT of foil. For instance you should walk around the car or desk at least 5 times and wrap it really tight. It’s quite annoying and not too easy to get the tightly wrapped plastics foil off.
This prank works even better when played on someone who is in a real hurry. Wrapping up toilet booths or cubicles should be done with someone inside. Especially when there is no pointy object around to get the foil pierced. Watch folks using their teeth or high heels instead.
If you really want to overdo it, entire buildings come to mind.
Here is a sneaky one:
A couple, caught in the act, let’s say: at a party! Delivered in plastic foil while still being “plugged” – now THAT should make it to the news!
Have fun and share your experience and ideas here.
Friday, April 20, 2007 at 3:55AM Bathroom pranks are somewhat delicate yet greatly rewarding as the prank victim might be too embarrassed to seek for support from others. Anyway, it is advised to cover up your tracks or you’re in for some serious trouble or revenge.
Not everyone is cool with restroom pranks. Well, it’s enough if you are we say!
Locking someone up in a cubicle is an old prank really. Locking him/her up with something ugly or disgusting (the boss?) inside the box is funnier. Better even: switch off the light and play with sounds or scares. Maximum fun can be achieved by throwing something over the cubicle sell door in the dark. Water is famous, burning matches are a bit mean but easily detected and extinguished. Condoms can be fun as well (put some white liquid soap inside for some additional association).
Here you might want to go undetected (switching off the light helps, still: run!).
Removing the door knob while someone is “unloading” makes for a good practical joke in the restroom as well. Have a camera ready to fetch the climbing-out exercise.
How about glue on the toilet seat? Itchy powder works well too (those are the ideas where some trouble starts – good lawyers or massive muscles make good arguments).
Rather harmless: in a closed cubicle put two pairs of shoes (one female the other a guy’s) facing each other as if a couple was, you know what…). Fetching surprised faces with a camera could be wonderful office fun on a boring day.
Here is one that is just too cool to miss: at a conference try to snatch a speaker’s microphone to place it switched on inside the men’s room. It might not always work but if it does nobody would forget this one ever again.
The company’s PA system can be used for this too, you might need a friend or two (e.g. technician, admin). Highlight: if you’d ever catch a couple having sex in the cabin (audio, we’d stay away from video for obvious reasons).

Now here’s a recycling idea. After the party the passed-out get decorated with their own empty containers. A nice variant to the old, boring: “bring a bottle or finger food” scheme.
We don’t know if this guy really and truly drank those fourteen cans of beer. From the looks of it we’d bet they weren’t done decorating yet. Or who passes out into a nearly dead-like state after just 3.5 liters of beer?
He’s a lucky bloke though. Imagine he brought bottles instead of cans. Or a keg for that matter. Can you imagine the sound when he wakes up? This one cries for video plus sound recording.
Let us have your party prank photos with some comments. Become an author yourself if you’re a prankster pro!
Thursday, April 12, 2007 at 3:24AM …or how to make a new enemy for that matter. Take a week, some preparation and a lot of prankster energy. Taping the whole thing will be worth it, trust us.
Record a whole week (or more) of lottery shows, make sure to not show the date. Invite a friend over at the time of lottery being broadcast on TV and play the recorded shows one by one. Act obsessed with the lottery. Make sure he won’t recognize you started a recorded session.
Meanwhile buy some lottery tickets. As you know the numbers in your recorded lottery draws you can play along a bit. Fill out some tickets, act as if you’d wait for the draw. Have a small gain one day, screw up the rest. Act surprised, annoyed, screaming, disgusted, disappointed – you get the idea.
In order not to annoy the guy, just do this for 10 minutes every time he’s over and have great fun the rest of the joined night. Thus he’ll be unsuspicious enough and there will only be a slight theme around lottery.
Now, here are two scenarios for you to try.
Scenario #1: Your guy is neutral to or likes lotteries.
Try to involve him in some discussions over time as to what to do with a boat load of money if won. This will hook him good and you’ll have a little theme going there. Only do this in bits and pieces, don’t overdo or he’ll suspect. And you want to avoid him being hooked too bad so he would watch repeats of the show or even buy tickets himself. That would blow your cover bad!
Some odd night hand him a ticket as a gift (“here you go, early birthday buddy” or “so I won’t have to bite my nails alone, you’re welcome” or “thanks for sharing the pain” or “a little excuse gift for my obsession”). Of course this one is doctored to feature the numbers of your selected recorded lottery show tonight.
Act neutral and as his “luck” unfolds act mega surprised and play along. It’s your call really how hard and how far you want to play this prank. You could even go to some length making shopping plans together or even sit on the computer to check out newest gadgets, gear, cars, yachts, vacation – you name it. It all depends on your willingness to be really evil or lose him for good (or have a ball for life, but that again is controlled by the reaction of your buddy in such situation).
Scenario #2: The victim really hates lotteries.
Similar to above but this time there is greater potential you lose the guy along the way. So don’t play this too extensively.
Chances are, he’ll hate to get a lottery ticket from you as a gift but will be polite enough to accept. Skip the part where you talk about what to do if a big win would be present.
When having watching the lottery TV show together and his win unfolds, act real angry that he’s winning. He hates lotteries anyway, remember? As he might get excited about his win, throw him out in anger.
Now, resolving this prank is the hard part but you can make it fun as well. Maybe by paying up with a little party, another (real this time) gift or a huge hug and great laugh together. Watching the tape that recorded his reaction can be great fun.
But then again, there might be a chance to really piss someone off for good. Well, the fun might be worth it. And it all might shift in intensity and seriousness depending on the scale (the size of the win).
Share the pain with us, comment or add on here. Thanks!
