15+ People Who Are Professional Tricksters

Everyone loves a good prank from time to time! Well, actually, a lot of people don’t like pranks… But, that does sometimes make the whole thing a lot more enjoyable!

So, for all of you pranksters out there, please enjoy these 15+ people who are professional tricksters!

“High School Senior Prank makes it look like a car crashed into the school using black tarp, some bricks and a car cut in half.”

As far as pranks go, this one must have required possibly the most preparation of any prank ever. Who just has half a car lying around? Or the capability to cut a car in half for that matter?

“Our fire station is next door to the Police department. Pranks ensue.”

One person suggested that they should just walk over to it and set it on fire, then leave it for the firemen to deal with.

“My son figured out this trick today!”

Nothing quite like getting one over on your siblings is there? And people wonder why those with siblings typically grow up to be incredibly competitive.

“Played a trick on my wife. She was working out and I took a photo. I go to my office and photoshop her feet to Hobbit proportions.”

This evil person went on to say, “I came back and told her she didn’t look bad working out and showed her the photo. She looked so sad and said ‘Are my feet really that big?!!!’ I felt bad then.”

“I work at a vet hospital. Just left the morning crew a little surprise.”

“Jeff, looks like we’ve got a big box of bunnies, probably dead.”

“Another one? That’s the fourth one this week.”

“Oh, wait, no, it’s just a prank.”

“Damn, I needed something for lunch as well.”

“I don’t always get packages from my father but when I do…”

I love this. However, I am very curious as to why they needed to know whether you can send an ax through the mail so badly?

“Don’t let her fool you.”

But who is telling the truth? Is Diane the honest party or the cat? Sure, I don’t trust cats very much, but then again I don’t trust people either really.

“At age 12 my girlfriend had to write a letter to herself for school and keep it for 20 years. She turned 32 today. She fooled her teacher then… and herself now.”

Can you imagine, having kept that for 20 years, actually sticking the damn task out and being presented with this? Truly amazing, but for all of the wrong reasons!

“Air Horn Prank.”

Out of all of my favorite things to prank someone with, an air horn has got to be my favorite. There is something about the short angry “parp” sound of an air horn that creases me.

“My husband hates small quantities of leftovers in the fridge. My son pranked him by filling 22 containers each with one strand of spaghetti.”

You put all of those containers together and you’ve got yourself a fraction of a meal! Also, did they just have all of these containers lying around? Who has this many containers in their house?

“Days worth of dirty diapers for whoever keeps stealing packages off our porch.”

“Dave, do you think that we could move the fake package… It’s making the inside of the house smell like poop.”

“We’ll move it when they learn, Edith! Just hold your breath!”

“I work at a brick and stone yard. This is how we prank each other.”

I mean, I suppose you’ve got to work with what you’ve got when it comes to pranks. And, if you work on a brick and stone yard, then you’d hope they have a bit of brick and stone lying around for this kind of tomfoolery.

“Worst. Action Figure. Ever.”

Wow, it’s fully poseable and it is 100% movie accurate! However, my favorite part of this is where it just says, “Some Fog”… There is a vagueness to it that I love.

“My supermarket wins the contest for worst name for generic lunchmeat.”

I do not know what would ever possess anyone to actually buy this product. God knows what is in it, but I doubt that it is either ham or chicken.

“Jurassic Prank.”

Of all the dinosaurs that were in Jurassic Park , this one was the one in the film that used to scare the pants off me as a little kid.

“Canadian vandalism at its worst.”

Actually, it’s fairly grammatically sound, the words are spelled right, and it is legible and polite… I would say this is Canadian vandalism at its best!

“Worst candy ever.”

Are you supposed to eat each individual grain of candy on its own in these little packages? Because that would take forever, and have very little payoff.

“Friend’s husband played a prank on her…”

All I can picture now is a little hairy spider running around with a chainsaw. Although, that might be because I live in a cartoon world.

“Found this sign on campus. Either best contest or best prank ever.”

I know that every part of my being is telling me that this is a prank… However, the prospect of maybe winning $50 would inspire me to try my damn best at that impression.

“Best office prank ever?”

The very idea of drinking garlic sauce (or even of just drinking garlic-flavored coffee for that matter) is making me feel incredibly nauseous.

“Roommate ordered 3000 ladybugs online to prank people on our hall, lets just say it backfired on him…”

At what point do you just leave and move in with someone else? I mean, there is no easy way out of this situation is there?

“My coworker likes to pack the trash down with her foot, I covered this with receipts and empty cig cartons. Just waiting now.”

Sadly, this person posted an update to say that they should have put something with a sharp edge on top of the balloon as apparently it didn’t pop… Still a good idea though I guess?

“Probably the worst slogan they could’ve picked for this event.”

There is no way that the person who made these flyers didn’t know exactly what they were doing! Genius…if a little insensitive.

“Your marketing tricks can’t fool me…”

What bags were they comparing this bag to then I wonder? Or, did they just think, “No one is sad enough to actually check!”

“Trick or treat?”

A lot of people pointed out that this could only be made more evil if they were dipped in chocolate first, tricking their unsuspecting prey into biting into the sprouts as well.

“I thought I could trick my dog into eating food she didn’t like by mixing it in with food she does like. I was wrong.”

No matter how good of a trickster you may be, there will always be those out there who can see through your ruse!

“My brother and I started a new thing where we ‘skittle’ each other, he was so confused why his camera wasn’t turning on lol, get skittled fool!”

At least with this prank, the person on the receiving end of it has some delicious Skittles to get them through the experience!

“I wore fake glasses and fake teeth for my 6th grade yearbook photo to prank my mom.”

Or, is this just an attempt by the person in this picture to distract people from how weird they actually looked as a kid?!

“I can’t describe how terrifying it is to see this sign after you’ve spent 18 exhausting hours driving through America to get to the Canadian border. What a cruel trick.”

Today I learned that there are apparently multiple places in America called Mexico. Whoever thought that was a good naming convention, I’d like to have a few words with you.

“How to prank an office that just got a new copier.”

I’ve seen a few iterations of this and it’s genuinely one of the best office pranks out there. I wonder how long it took for someone to call up IT because of this.

“Made a little paper cutout to give my roommate a good scare.”

Say goodbye to that lamp and the rest of your belongings. They’ll be on the curbside by morning.

An Otherworldly Prank.

This person really went out of their way to find the creepiest picture of an alien they could. I hate it, but commend it.

“Class of 2020 senior prank.”

Love how “lack of natural light” is listed as a selling feature. If you want future students to be deprived of Vitamin D, this is the building for you!

“I feel like this might be a trick.”

The “it’s the law” at the end makes it sound like, not only is it encouraged, but it’s mandatory, which would be a kind of a weird move from lawmakers.

“Putting the “trick” back into Halloween at my office.”

And with candy canes, too? You’re sending so many mixed signals!

“Every year for our boss’s birthday we play pranks and gags on him all day. This year one prank includes switching pictures of his kids with photoshopped versions of his employees.”

I think Photoshop pranks are my favorite. No harm, no cost, requires some form of creativity, can only end in laughs, and leaves something that can be kept to remember down the line!

“Pranked my coworker by editing his face into his comics.”

A followup to the one prior, tell me this isn’t so good! I’d keep the edited one, tell everyone it’s a one-of-a-kind alternate cover.

Today on “This Is Especially Cruel.”

What do you think this is? Bread, right? No, this is microwaved soap. I’ll let you imagine what kind of chaos and discord this could cause.

“Our senior class prank.”

Another senior prank, but another very good one. Man, seniors these past few years have gotten too clever for their own good. Imagine how they’ll be in the working world.

“How to fake a balloon room.”

See, this is good because it’s a double prank. The original prank, a room filled with balloons, followed by the more meta prank that is the first prank not existing at all! It has layers.

“That should do it.”

Hey, duct tape has fixed a lot over the years. I’m sure holding together a road is not outside its realm of capabilities.

“We pranked the PA into thinking the house duster was a sound boom. It’s been hours and he still has no idea.”

Not sure you needed the circle and the arrow, but this idea is funny enough that you’re forgiven.

“Girlfriend thought she would prank me. Spend over an hour searching on the net for solutions to [why] my mouse didn’t work.”

If my partner did this to me, then I think that I would have had that mouse launched through the window within ten seconds. I am not good with technological difficulties.

“This year’s prank. Our two employee entrances are about 150 yards apart.”

Hilarious to think I wouldn’t just look at both signs, decide the office was closed, and go home. No one has enough brainpower in the morning to deal with that.

“My uncle is out of town for a month and just got a new TV. Perfect opportunity for a little photoshop prank.”

The person who posted this wrote an update to say that their uncle did fall for this unfortunate prank.
