Best practical jokes

[Mr Fatherland]

Here's one;

Loop some string around your victim's key, place the key in a glass of water. Put the glass of water containing the key into a freezer, leave it overnight. In the morning leave your victim a note giving them a clue as to where their key is, when they find it they should find their key encased in a block of ice, in a glass, with some string hanging out the top.

Isn't a practical joke when you trick the victim into doing something to themselves? Thhis just seems like freezing someones key.

Make someone a cup of coffee and tell them you've made them a cup of tea, the look on people's faces when they're expecting one and drink the other is priceless.

The old Fake Fly In the Icecube in the Whisky trick.
Old, but classic.

Well, short of pissing in their water.

I know a great one: basically you release a new instalment in a series, but really it's the exact same game with a superficial graphical upgrade. Bungie are such jokers.

Oh, God, I've managed to do that to myself several times. After growing used to always getting the same fruit punch for lunch at school for weeks/months, whenever they would be out and I'd have to get chocolate milk instead, I'd always nearly spit it out since I'm STILL expecting fruit punch.

What you do is get a bowl of water and tell somebody to hold it up against the roof with a broom, or any other long stick. Then you leave them there. Great fun, and it's impossible for them to get it down without getting wet.

Umm' Leverage and the ability to run............?

Practical joke sessions usually get to the point where you're scared to leave your room (if you have vengeful housemates). My final year of uni was characterised by constant practical jokes. I had my bedroom door removed, so my housemate had a nice harvest of cress grown on his mattress when he went away for 2 weeks. Good times.

The only one I can think of requires fifty Chinamen and a Zeppelin. It's quite elaborate.

 

[StickManRampage]

Fill up a cooler with Corona bottles full of piss, then drop off the cooler at some random party.

Grease a toilet seat during the night.

 

[mr.machoke]

test a friends balence by placing two full glasses of any stainable liquid on the back of each of his hands.say: 'you have passed the test!' then leave him(or her) to figure out how to get the glasses off his hands without spilling the liquid.lol!(hint:do this when there is nobody around to help them.) double lol!lollol!

It costs but there is a website where you can send someone some poo. Vareities include Elephant, Gorilla or Cow. The website is like "poopsenders" I think. If I had lots of money to waste, this would be a good investment.

However, the two glasses of beer held in both hands from the bottom sounds like something I need to do. To them.

Many beds use bed-slats to hold up the mattress. When your victim is away, remove said bed-slats, but gently rest the mattress on the bed frame. When the victim returns and they sit/lie-down on the bed, the mattress (and victim) will fall right through.

I did this many times on one family holiday. One of the funniest was my cousin when she jumped onto her bed.

They've all sworn vengeance but have failed to come up with anything to top it.

Otherwise there's classics like short-sheeting beds, sewing up socks at the toes, sleeping bags halfway down and shirt-arms at the shoulder.

 

[NIHILHATE]

It's not exactly a practical joke, but when I was seven I found my stepdad's BB gun, and made an elaborate contraption out of string and planks that shot him in the face from three feet when he opened the door.
It didn't end well. Worked, though.
