So, with this in mind, please enjoy these 14+ clever pranks that we have to admit are pretty funny!

“Office prank with some rope.”
I cannot imagine how much effort it would have taken to do this! For me, this would have been something that I thought sounded funny but wouldn’t ever actually do.
“I’m on vacation this week so I snuck in late Sunday night and set this up.”
I’d love to hear how annoyed their coworkers got when they kept trying to talk to him. I’d have been immediately incandescent when I asked him if he wanted a coffee and he just blanked me.
“These gift pranks are getting worse…”
There were a few people wondering if there was an actual iPhone that had been sitting in soy sauce underneath all of that food!
“How to prank an office that just got a new copier.”
One of the classics, but always one of the best! There’s nothing quite like seeing someone shouting at a machine that is just not listening to them!
“Why I like delivering to the ‘rich’ side of town. They think a joke is worth $73.58, still made my day. (I guess he was going for ‘BOOB’).”
Okay, so I can’t say that it is particularly clever, however, it is incredibly generous! Way to commit to the bit!
“Working from home. Girlfriend thought she would prank me. Spend over an hour searching on the net for solutions to while my mouse didn’t work.”
Working from home is supposed to be a nice, less stressful experience, but clearly not when you live with this guy’s partner!
“My buddy puts up billboards for a living and is an avid disc golfer, so a group of of local discers pooled together enough money to pull this prank.”
Apparently he had no idea until he had finished putting it up, and I cannot imagine how strange an experience that must have been for him!
“The university told me to make my thesis title as compelling as possible. So I did.”
Now, I know nothing about what comes out of the “Department of Informatics,” but this title even has me curious about reading it!
“Fun fact, this will prevent your roommate’s soap from lathering!”
I bet they thought this was absolutely genius until they inadvertently discovered that their roommate never washes.
“Sent this to my mom for April Fools.”
Apparently their mother “had a cow and came to my workplace and told me that she had called my dad to tell him to come down here immediately and that he swerved out of the way of a muskrat and wrecked and totaled his BMW.”
“And for his final, greatest trick…”
Hmmm… Now, I assumed that this was a prank, but the more I look at it, the more worried I am that this might be real… And now I feel bad.
The Hobbit Prank
The horribly evil person who did this explained, “Wife was working out and I took a photo. I go to my office and photoshop her feet. 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?!’.”
“Putting the ‘trick’ back into Halloween at my office.”
I need to know where you can get these candy canes from immediately. Also, did they just keep them lingering around from Christmas, because, if so, that’s a little bit weird.
“On April fools I allowed cookies on an online store, today I got this in the mail.”
I wish that someone would send me cookies in the mail… Actually, you don’t know what has been done to that cookie now that I think about it.
“My girlfriend is short and hates pranks.”
This is an incredible prank for if you’re in a relationship and you no longer want to be in that relationship!
“My IT Department likes to joke around.”
Urgh, nerd jokes, am I right? In fairness, I did get a kick out of just seeing a floppy disk for the first time in forever here!
“I called the cops a week ago because a bottle of grape juice exploded and I thought it was a gunshot. Here’s what my friends did to my staircase…”
If I was working in a store and someone bought this much grape juice, I would certainly have a few questions. I hope this guy likes grape juice.
“My 6 yr old son had been asking me over and over, ‘Do you need to go to the bathroom?’ and I just found out why.”
I like where this kid’s head is at! It would appear that this kid has a very bright future of pranking ahead of him.
“Discovered a trap door while redoing my floor, so I’m leaving a surprise for the next owner that remodels…”
I like the idea of this, but if I got a new house and found a mysterious trapdoor absolutely nothing would be able to stop me from cracking that open and jumping straight in.
“Put this on my brothers car. Now we wait.”
Wow, I like a good Tenacious D reference. This has just sucked me right back to feeling like a teenager.
“Well played book store…”
I’m actually struggling to imagine that this was done by an employee of this store, as this would just give them so much more work for very little payoff! Still…it’s a good bit though.
“Our refrigerator died, the next morning my 11 y.o. told me check the fridge the milk went bad… this is what I found.”
I think that I prefer the delivery of the toilet monster prank, but this is still pretty good for an 11-year-old! The knife is a really good touch.
“Even the Air Show has jokes.”
The little stepladder really makes it. They should have one person every now and again pretend to walk into it and bang his head.
“Wife asked for ice cream. Hers is beans. I’m a terrible person.”
I’m actually struggling to tell which is which. I’m assuming the beans are on the right? I wouldn’t like to know for sure though.
“My brother’s in the wine business. At tastings if he encounters insufferable wine snobs, this is his go-to move to confuse them.”
Hmmm, yes, it appears that this perfumey Riesling sounds like pennies being poured down the toilet.
“I live in the basement. I told my dad I needed more natural light in my bedroom, so he bought me this mirror.”
This is pretty clever by dad joke standards, even if it is still incredibly sigh-worthy. I bet this made their dad’s day.
“I’ve been waiting 9 months for a coworker to ride his Harley to work so I could do this.”
I really like this actually. I think that it’s a strong look! Never be afraid to make your Harley a little more fabulous!
“My Grandpa told me he got my Dad a birthday ‘gift certificate’, he was so pleased with himself.”
Those are three very specific stores for the grandfather to have landed upon! Also, the fact that the grandfather wrote, “Victoria’s Secret” is quite unsettling, isn’t it?
“How to win a prank war. My friend snuck a heinous portrait of me into a charity auction that I was attending. Sold for $200.”
An incredible story, I can only hope the detail he left out was that he was the one who bought it.
“My wife took the toddler and left me with the baby yesterday morning. Lesson learned; don’t reply with just a photoshopped picture when she asks how things are going with the baby.”
Hey, this is teaching your baby to hone their senses and trust their instincts, important skills in the wild world we live in.
“Installing a VPN, wasn’t expecting to laugh.”
I know it says those boxes don’t do anything, but you bet my paranoid self would be unchecking them anyway.
“My girlfriend wasn’t happy I filled in her new picture frame.”
You filled it with what’s important to you, which is what you should be displaying in your home anyway.
“Remodeling my Grandfather’s basement and found this…he’s still yelling at us from the grave.”
I’m sorry, Grandpa! Your hard word was just so outdated, we didn’t want an over 40-year-old basement anymore!
“I brought out my dusty gown to steal my sister’s spotlight while she wasn’t looking.”
Taking the attention away because you’re still jealous that she got the student athlete sash and you didn’t, hmm?
“I put a zombie face in front of our baby monitor. My wife was not happy when she saw.”
You don’t know what he’s up to! He could just be hanging out, ended up there by accident. I’m sure he means no harm.
“My wife put ‘We Still Do. 13 Years’ on this letterboard. I added a word when she wasn’t looking. She posted this version to Facebook without realizing the change.”
I won’t make assumptions about your marriage, but I’m assuming this statement is still true, so at least you aren’t lying!
“Got told by my mum that my 93-year-old Nanna wasn’t looking too well, had a mini heart attack, then got sent this.”
“Oh my god, what happened to her!”
“It’s just a cold, she’ll be okay.”
“This year’s prank. Our two employee entrances are about 150 yards apart.”
I wonder how many people just didn’t go into work that day as a result of this prank.
“Was wondering why my monitor wasn’t turning on…”
Sometimes you need to find alternate ways to communicate with your partners. But if this is what they had to resort to, I think you need to take a break from your computer.
“An April Fool’s prank a relative of mine played a couple years ago…”
This is the perfect prank for someone at work, as you can instill them with an appropriate sense of fear and shock, but then they don’t have to actually do much cleaning up. Perfection.
