Awesome Pranks

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.

Japanese prank shows can be exceptionally sadistic. In this clip, we get to see how they’ve amped up the old pie-in-the-face prank using a high-powered hydraulic cream cannon concealed beneath a tabletop.

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.

It turns out that musician Rob Cantor lied, and enlisted the help of 11 different impressionists for his “29 Voices: 1 Song” clip, and just lip-synched his way through it. Proof positive you should never believe anything on the Internet.

Prankster Tom Mabe tricks random people into thinking they’ve got a bee buzzing around their heads. While some folks were easily fooled, we think most them were just trying to get away from the crazy man flailing his arms at them.

DM Pranks’ freakish killer clown is back to torment passersby with more horrific and creepy sights. In all honesty, if someone in a clown suit came running after us with a live chainsaw, we’d shoot first and ask questions later.

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.
