Funny Pranks 101
Have you ever tried to pull a funny prank on someone to get a few laughs? If not, this is your opportunity! Pranks are little jokes that we play on the people we know and love. If you do them right, they could make both of you laugh until milk is shooting out of your noses
The key to successful funny pranks is to ruffle your victim's feathers without making them too angry or frightened. There's a fine line between the two. Here are some tips and suggestions to ensure that your funny pranks go off without a hitch.
1) Write a zany note
Notes can be great for pranks on people you don't know very well. They are relatively unobtrusive, and also won't get under your victim's skin too much. If someone finds a humorous note in a place they don't expect, it will be sure to brighten their day and give them a good laugh. A tradition I've started with my husband is to attack him with "Ant Brigade" notes, which I leave in several odd places around our house. He never knows where the Ant Brigade is going to show up next to pester him - the pantry, the couch, even the shower!
2) Make your victim the center of attention
This well-known funny prank is best reserved for friends you know pretty well. It's also good for family members who will love you no matter what you do to them. When you're in a crowded department store, you just turn to your victim and exclaim "Who ARE you? And WHY do you keep following me?" Other popular variations include "NO, I will NOT hold your hand" and "I know you miss your mommy, but we'll be home soon!" Comments of this nature will get your victim quite a few strange looks. This can be quite hilarious, especially if your friend has a good sense of humor.
3) Set up a booby trap
Booby trap pranks are always a classic You set an object up to fall as soon as your victim walks into or out of a place. A wonderful example is setting up your ice cube trays at an incline, in order to stage an ice cream container avalanche from the freezer. You could also rig a mannequin to fall out of a closet when it's opened. As you can see, you can get quite creative with this one, especially around Halloween. That's when there are plenty of creepy plastic spiders and skeletons for sale at local stores.
4) Watch your back
After you pull a funny prank on someone, you should beware of one thing: payback. If your prank is particularly good, it is definitely going to warrant a revenge attack. So my advice is to be prepared. And don't say I didn't warn you.
