You might recognize a few of these faces from last week, when we showed the man on the right, Karl Stefanovic, pranking his co-anchor from Australia ‘Today’ on the air. He’s back, and this time he’s trying to eat the world’s hottest pie. If this confuses you, in Australia they make delicious savory pies, so it’s [...]

Have you had enough elevator pranks? Well, howzabout just one more? We promise it’s a good one! Set on a Norwegian talk show, this prank doesn’t involve any ghastly ghouls or zombies in coffins like we’ve seen in the past. It merely consists of two jokesters duping elevator riders via a “voice activated” experience they’re [...]

Improv Everywhere Turns Subway Car Into Talk Show

Emerald Catron — Wed, 22 May 2013 11:05:00 +0000

It's something only Improv Everywhere could accomplish -- going on to a subway car, making a huge ruckus and not annoying every single person on the train. This time, the team set up a late night-style talk show, complete with desk, comfy chair, backdrop and band. Technically the band was just a guy with a keytar, but we'll allow it.

'Textastrophe' Pranks People Who Publicly Display Their Phone Number

Emerald Catron — Tue, 14 May 2013 11:00:52 +0000

Have you ever seen somebody share their phone number publicly (on Craigslist maybe, or one of those homemade ads for “computer lessons” on the subway) and thought to yourself “I should totally prank this guy”? You haven’t? Oh, uh … neither have we. Ever. Clearly — we’re not monsters. But the person behind Textastrophe is! [...]

Man Pulls Off Flawless Human Chair Prank

Kyle Dowling — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:23:11 +0000

Let’s close the case folks, because we’ve found the best video prank by far. In the newest YouTube video uploaded by user UCMagic, one prankster decided to conceal and outfit themselves flawlessly to look like the cushions of a coffee shop chair. When seated in the correct position (looking all too well like the other chairs) the [...]

This is the kind of prank we like. Nobody gets hurt, and it didn’t happen to us. This dad pranks his kid so well, and truthfully, we didn’t even see it coming even though we knew it was a prank. Well done, sir. We’re glad you’re not our dad. Source: Dad Pulls Off Best April [...]

NASCAR Driver Jeff Gordon Pulls Off the Ultimate Prank on Car Salesman [VIDEO]

Adam West — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 11:00:16 +0000

I can only imagine what it's like when you work at an auto dealership, schmoozing potential customers, hoping to land that all-important sale. Part of the pitch is the test drive, in which the customer has a chance to see what the car is like on the road, in the hopes that they fall in love with it.

Here's the setup. The salesman had no idea that this customer is NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon in disguise, who plans to give the poor guy a run for his money. Check it out below.

In episode 2.31, he demonstrates his ability to fit into a planter, and also to make grown men scream like wee little girls. Truthfully, it doesn’t [...]

Is This Elevator Murder Prank Effective Marketing for 'Dead Man Down'?

Emerald Catron — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:21:04 +0000

Well, technically their plan worked, even though we think they are jerks. To promote a movie, ad agency Thinkmodo decided to stage a fake murder in an elevator and see how people react when the doors opened onto somebody being killed, so that they could film it and put it on the internet. Reactions vary to [...]

Bonehead Pranks Ex-Wife By Placing 18 Fake Pizza Deliveries to Her House

Drew Weisholtz — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:30:51 +0000

To make a joke about how Bryant Smith will be convicted in 30 minutes or less is like picking the lowest hanging fruit on the comedy tree, but we’re not all that tall, folks. The 47-year-old suburban Chicago man was charged with felony stalking after he made phony orders for 18 pizzas from four different [...]

Ghostly Beauty Shop Prank Will Make You Afraid of Mirrors

Kyle Dowling — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 19:42:13 +0000

It seems certain that last year stood as the Year of the Prank. With examples ranging from that terrifying zombie corpse to the ghostly little girl terrorizing elevator riders, we were rather nervous that 2013 wouldn't hold up. Luckily, thanks to this hoax pulled off at a beauty salon, there's still hope!

Teens Prank Shoppers With Hilarious Milk Prank

Drew Weisholtz — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 15:31:43 +0000

Milk does a prank good. In what could potentially be the biggest fad to rock the internet since a little thing called the Harlem Shake, kids have been hitting the supermarket, pretending to slip and then tossing jugs of milk (or juice) they’re carrying, sending the liquid splattering all over the place. Onlookers not wise [...]

Chris Chaberski — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 13:28:47 +0000

A pair of teachers (not pictured) at Roseland Public School in Ontario, Canada, pulled a mean prank on their students. They told the eighth-graders that their end-of-the-year school trip would be to Disney World. The next day, they announced that the trip would merely be to a bowling alley. Ha ha?

Kyle Dowling — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:27:19 +0000

[onescreen item="5013060"] Want to do something nice for your sweetie on Valentine’s Day? DON’T pull the baby-powder-in-the-blow-dryer prank. (But if you do anyway, be sure to film it, thanks!) It’s often the simplest pranks that are the most enduring, the most re-watchable, and this prank is certainly that. It’s got visual flair, the element of [...]

How was your Valentine’s Day? Probably better than this guy’s.

Here's What Happens When You Order a Salad With Every Topping

Kyle Dowling — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 20:04:33 +0000

We've all been tempted to do this, have we not?

Seeing the extensive list of salad topping choices on a menu is almost like telling someone not to look down from a ledge; we so badly want to! Sadly, we just can't seem to bring ourselves to spend $229.93 on a salad. However, thanks to this video from College Humor, we don't have to. They've done it for us.

Jokesters Prank Unsuspecting Bystanders With Phony Drug Deals

Emerald Catron — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 23:12:02 +0000

There’s nothing quite so funny as watching people who think they’re about to be implicated in misdemeanor-level crime. And these pranksters know it. Working with the classic comedic convention of cornering people and trying to give them something they don’t want, these guys basically terrorize an entire shopping mall. Their game? Homonyms you guys. Did [...]

Gross Pranksters Offend Everyone With 'Stank Bad Breath'

Mike Moody — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 14:29:10 +0000

Many artists go to great, uncomfortable lengths to immerse themselves in their work. I’m not sure if you could call what Stuart Edgington and Kaitlin Snow have done in this video “art,” but there’s no questioning their commitment to this wonderfully offensive project. The pair didn’t brush their teeth for days, and they consumed horribly [...]
