Evil Pranks

Funny pranks always have the potential of going horribly, horribly wrong. Pranks are designed in such a way that there is always the potential of it turning ugly, but with enough planning you can ensure that your funny prank stays a funny prank. Read carefully the following not-so-funny pranks and take note! You can avoid disaster by never attempting these not-so-funny pranks. Remember, keep your pranks fun!

Christmas Day Pranks

If there is one day that you shouldn’t prank somebody, it’s probably Christmas. Probably the worst thing you can do to someone on Christmas is wrap a mediocre or lame gift in the box of something the recipient was expecting, hoping for, or wrote to Santa requesting the gift. Wrapping up a sweater in an X-Box package is the perfect example of this cruel prank. Unless you have the x-Box stashed away somewhere and you plan on giving it to the person, save some pain and don’t attempt this prank.

Airport Pranks

Do not think you can use the word “bomb” as a joke and get away with it. Do not conceal metallic items in your pockets; do not take plastic guns on your carry-on just to see the faces of the security guards when they discover items resembling lethal weapons in your luggage. As hilarious as you think it might be having airport security smack you to the ground and handcuff you as they search the rest of your luggage only to find prank items everywhere, you are obstructing them from doing their jobs and stopping the real trouble-makers.
This goes for you, too, airport security guards: It is not funny to prank a passenger by slipping a baggie into their carry-on. Heart-attack central and your passengers will be in tears.

“Your loved one has died/has been burned severely/has lost a limb/is in prison/has killed someone.” Pranks

It sounds funny and these pranks are incredibly easy to pull off, but the emotional damage and panic caused by such pranks is entirely not worth it. Telling someone their loved one is in prison could potentially be pretty funny, but why risk the emotional turmoil. Besides, public humiliation is much funnier.

Honey and Feather Pranks

This one was made famous in the movie Home Alone, where it was perfectly executed to postpone an intruder. In reality, this prank is not only extremely difficult to pull off; you could seriously ruin someone’s clothes. It doesn’t sound like a big deal, but try pouring honey all over your clothes and see how they fare. In addition, a load of feathers is pretty difficult to come by. Working the timing perfectly is also pretty difficult. In conclusion, this prank is funny in theory; in practice, not-so-funny.

Toilet Wrap Pranks

Again, it’s funny in theory. In practice, it’s actually pretty gross. You cover a toilet seat in plastic wrap (such as Seran wrap) and wait for someone to sit down and urinate all over their legs. Funny? Hysterical. Super gross requires clean-up of urine (amongst other things – gross!) and who do you think will have to do the clean-up? It certainly won’t be the person who’s been pranked.
