30 Pranks That We Wish We Would’ve Thought Of First

As the uploader explained, "Our baby announcement photo. My wife looked so obnoxiously thin 24 hours after delivery that I joked I looked like the one who had just delivered. So we decided to swap for a funny photo."

More than once I've seen a sentiment like, "Googly eyes make everything better," but here is some evidence of that not being true. I am so afraid.

It was not cool of your kid to lie like that. This water is walking at best, maybe jogging but it's a slow jog.

Of course, this is a joke product, but there has to be at least one person out there who bought it thinking it was real.

Did that manager use so much and wrap it so tightly that it lifted the car onto the curb a little bit? That dedication would be admirable if it wasn't a little frightening.

That's only if you ever have to go into the attic again. If you don't, that becomes a problem for the next homeowner.

Warnings like this are far more effective. I'd rather know it'll burn my eyeballs right out than just a vague, "It'll suck" vibe.

Subtle and far from the focus of the image, making it perfect to slip by the gaze of anyone who sees. This is a secret you may bring to your grave.

This isn't technically a prank, but it could be. You could become a menace to every driver on the road with the right picture and positioning.

According to the internet, every pizza shop employee should have a few stock jokes in their back pocket for every time this gets requested.

Now, this is just cruel. Why get peoples' hopes up like that just to crush them so swiftly? A Blockbuster return could save us all right now and you tease us with it. For shame.

Pets are so funny because they don't understand the concept of property damage or paying to repair something. They do this and think it's a little joke, or they do it all for their own gain.

A great prank to pull if you have a spare car window laying around, you know, like the average person does at all times.

They were already trying their hardest, singling them out will just make them nervous!

She knows your silly little game. That look is one of defiance. She's saying, "By labeling myself this name so swiftly, I have taken power away from you. You will never demean me."

Some practical jokers don't seem to know when to stop. This is the fourth time Buttons has done the old dog-in-a-towel-rack-trick this week. He thinks it's so hilarious.

I don't have a wife — do I just bring a note that says I can do whatever I want before grabbing that can of neon orange paint or what?

This might be the perfect prank. Low/no cost, simple execution, an element of surprise, and totally harmless. Peak pranking skills.

Finally, a chance to see roasters in their natural habitat. In the land of hot, caffeinated beverages. Just don't make any sudden movements or show them how much milk and sugar you plan on adding to your artisanally crafted coffee.

Okay, so you're on Street View now? You see where those kids are fighting, let's meet there. Ahh, is there anything better than pulling a fast one on the Google Maps van?

And he was right, it's hilarious. You have a dinosaur for a baby now, congrats!

"Boyfriend and I were arguing. In the middle of it, he randomly pops a confetti bomb. Stopped me dead in my tracks and we were both grinning like idiots. He did this three times in different rooms. I love that man."

Okay, so you're probably not getting the deal of the century here. Unless they are real, and this is all part of some diabolical plan to make sure no one actually buys them. Think about it.

So they probably could have gotten away with letting people know it's $6 at all times. But this way is more memorable, though.

We had to include one classic in this list, and this one never gets old... unless you're the one being pranked. Then it gets real old, real fast. That reaction screams pure terror.

There's a flaw in this prank. Who's going to come into your room to take a look if you say, 'there's a monster under my bed!' A monster? No thanks, that's your problem now.

Not only a friendly reminder but a surefire way to make sure no one else ever steals your pen. Maybe this would work on regular pens, too.

After seeing this, everyone is going to think twice about throwing out old toys. It doesn't help that this doll's eyes are so shifty, either.

How many people do you think fell for this one? They should have had you say 'paper,' so it could somehow respond with 'scissors,' but then someone probably would have beat it with rock.

Speak for yourselves, with the way my cat screams when I get home like I've been gone for a century, she wouldn't stop texting me.
