16+ Pranks That Almost Had Us Convinced

This world plays host to a lot of pranksters, but only some of them are able to really fool the majority of us. They're wily, they're highly intelligent, and they're devious...well, most of them are.

So, allow yourself to be inspired to carry out your own pranks with these 16+ pranks that almost had us convinced!

"Apparently, I am rude to children in my area."

I particularly love how they clearly knew that they had spelt "ovictid" wrong and just put the definition next to it.

The Cruelest Prank Of All...

Although, one particularly despondent person did point out, "Not the most exciting prank when you live alone and work from home, but I'll try it."

"One of the best fake IDs I've ever seen."

Can't see anything wrong with this. I think that this kid has a promising future as a forger!

"I reached into the box for the last can, but instead found only this note from one of my kids."

Although, in fairness, if you're the kind of monster who drinks diet, caffeine free Dr. Pepper, then you deserve this treatment whole heartedly!

"So my brother isn't allowed to take his phone to his room at night... So he keeps his phone downstairs at charging."

This is one hell of a smart play! I have suddenly garnered a lot of respect for this kid, I'd have never thought of something like this as a kid.

"My best friend's 2021 April Fool's prank."

For a brief moment of seeing this sign I foolishly allowed my hopes to be raised. I thought that I might finally be able to use that Blockbuster voucher I've been holding onto since the dawn of time.

"So my daughter just bought a house that was built in the late 1800s. We found this doll and she threw it out, I got it out the trash and let the games begin!"

Nope, I couldn't be having someone leave a creepy Victorian doll around my house for me to find. I'd just keel over dead if I found it.

"My 3 year old made me run up the stairs after yelling, 'Dada! There's a sea of water on the counter!'"

This must have been a horrific moment for this father. I mean, to be out dad-joked by a 3-year-old is pretty awful for a father.

"For 2021 April Fool's, a teacher told her class that the government imposed the wear of shower caps as extra safety measures."

They also presumably had BBQ classes that day, judging from how that one student has a massive slab of meat under their desk!

"My nephew, 10, thinks he is a funny guy."

One thing you cannot deny is that this kid is oozing confidence! I'd just give him the mark for the gall.

"Let my 5-year-old boy play with a girl's Lego set. This was the first piece he added."

This one almost completely slipped by me. Still though, it is an incredible use of one single brick!

"St Joseph's senior class prank."

"Wait, so you're telling me that you actually sold the school?"

"I got a good price for it headmaster!"

"That's really not the point!"

"The Pizza Guy for the rescue!"

Poison control may be doing the majority of the work, but never underestimate the impact those heroes who work at The Pizza Guy have!

"After my heart surgery, I jokingly said to my little sister that I could use an Apple Watch, because of its heart rate monitor. She delivered."

I'd probably rather have one of these than an actual Apple Watch. I don't want something constantly reminding me that I am unhealthy. I have the fact of me constantly being out of breath for that!

"Girlfriend scared the crap out of me with this joke this afternoon."

The fact that she even printed out the "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" is absolutely genius.

"My daughter got the mail today (it's Sunday), apparently they have another week off school."

Ah yes, that stamp is actually the royal seal of the School Company after all, so you'd better do what they say!

Keeping Shoppers On Their Toes!

I don't know what she is checking, but I know that I would be on my best behaviour when she was around!

"Wind me up and watch me Geo!"

This strikes me as the sort of contraption that Wallace and Gromit would drive around in!

"And now we wait..."

I know for a fact that if I did this, I would immediately forget about it and just end up soaking myself.

"C'mon, Andrea...HE HAS BEANS!"

Who would have thought that this was all just a ploy to try and get someone to eat beans with them? Weirdos, that's who!
