Awesome Pranks

Prankster Stuart Edge stuck a speaker on a gym’s treadmill then used an automated voice to deride people who got on the machine. It’s like having GLaDOS as your gym instructor. “If only you ran as much as you talked.” Ha-buuuurn.

The hosts of Rooster Teeth’s Social Disorder show set up a garage sale for each other. One was given items that a serial killer would own while the other had to sell stolen Friends memorabilia. People are weird.

(NSFW: Language) “OH MY GOD! It’s the guy off YouTube!” MrKreepyKoala trolls players on Grand Theft Auto Online, following them around with a creepy mask and music on, then killing them. The DayZ stalker must be proud.

Viral ad maker LifeHunters went to a food expo and had people sample their organic food, which was actually from McDonald’s. Just another reminder that when it comes to food, it really is mind over matter. Turn captions on.

A seemingly innocent photobooth lures subjects in to grab some old-school selfies, then scares them half to death in this simple, yet effective Halloween prank. It never gets old, does it? (Thanks, Eli!)

“Robert De Niro and Jack Nicholson in Guys on Cellphones Part 2…The Phone Call.” Screen Junkies’ Jon Bailey teamed up with Break to add a bit of action to the lives of folks at a Universal CityWalk food court.

A valet-in-training at the Casino di San Remo thought he was assigned to handle the vehicles of a luxurious gala’s attendees, but the night was actually all set up for him. Captions available. Watch the behind the scenes here.

An early Halloween prank from YouTuber SA Wardega. He had Chica the dog wear a tarantula costume and set up creepy scenes to scare the crap out of people, with Chica as the pièce de résistance. That last guy had us in stitches.

A few years ago, Redditor -blacktaxi- made the mistake of passing out at a garage party. This was the aftermath. Nope, that thumbnail doesn’t show you the best part. At least he didn’t end up with a carrot up his butt.

YouTuber Gerald Soriano had his kids unwittingly participate in Oreo Russian Roulette by replacing the filling in one of the biscuits with toothpaste. The victim was a good sport and exacted his revenge a couple of days later.

For Improv Everywhere’s latest urban prank, they took advantage of the humid and oppressive Summer heat in a NYC subway station to turn it into a spa, complete with sauna and massage tables. We can imagine no place less relaxing.

In response to the trend of city cars getting bigger, Smart created a campaign in which they claim to be making the biggest city car ever. “The new Smart is so big, you never have to look for your parking place again.” Part 2 here.

In a thread about YouTube’s funniest videos, Redditor Unique_Name_2 shared this legendary prank call by a radio station. A woman was repeatedly subjected to a pumped up telemarketer’s offer for a pay-per-view event.

Customers at a London gas station were treated to the world’s most intense car wash, thanks to McLaren Mercedes’ partner Mobil 1. It seemed like the cars weren’t rinsed properly, but we bet the man waiting in line made up for it.

(Gore) A guy dressed as a creepy clown messes with people’s heads (and smashes some too) as he pulls a series of pranks that would quickly get him arrested, tazed or shot by cops if he did this anywhere near where we live.

(NSFW: Language) Are you sick of kindhearted pranks? Watch The Hacks of Life’s Grand Scam, a series of lies and tricks that allowed him to get good seats plus food and drinks at the Dodgers stadium, all for free. Or so he says.

Whatever attended a poetry reading session with their original composition. Can you tell us what it means? We were too embarrassed to see it through. But the first three words were sublime. It really got the crowd thinking.

The Minor League team El Paso Chihuahuas pranked their new member by making him believe one of his teammates was deaf. They kept it up – even during games – for a month. He was clueless right until they confessed.
