    Here's one I do all the time :D:D:D

    When you get access to a friend's computer, wait for them to leave the room or look away, then press PrintScreen, go into Paint, paste the screen, save it and set as desktop. Then press Ctrl Alt Del and end the explorer.exe process. Your friend will think the computer is frozen, and nothing they do will fix it. :confused::cool: Also, if you leave the other windows open, they still work. This could give you enough time to get out of there before they notice :p

    Also, try this:

    put some hand lotion in a condom, then put it in your girlfriend's purse. When she goes out to the shop, cue funnies, then cue the end of your relationship :pac:

    Mate of ours left his ATM card over in our house after a weekend out. We found it on Monday and rang him up about it, he was studying for his exams in college at the time. We said that we would post it out to him so we said we were walking up town with it in a letter, he was only over in Carlow and we were in Portlaoise so he would have gotten it fairly quick. We got about halfway up the road and spotted this abandoned postbox in the wall (it was long since disused, stuffed with bags of crisps and bars and cans etc) so we ring him back up and said we left the letter in that, and he freaks out saying that's not in use anymore.

    We said we couldn't open it up and that there was no way to get it out so we said we'd throw a match in it, that would destroy his ATM card and he'd be safe (we also fibbed we put his ATM code in the letter too, he owned us money and let us take it out) so we rang back and said the letterbox was on fire and he absolutely freaked out. We said black smoke was puffing out all over the street and that traffic was swerving to avoid it. He is absolutely ****ing mental at this point, so we say "oh **** here's the Gardai!" and hang up. He proceedes to call us back in the next 20 minutes a total of 50 times, but we didn't answer.

    Finally we called up and said it was a joke. Jesus, was he angry!

    Years ago, me and my mates went to Wexford for the weekend and we were in this cafe. My mate gets up and goes to the jacks and my other mate, knowing Mate # 1 was a ketchup fiend, unscrews the cap.

    Mate comes back waffling about something and we're trying not to laugh.

    He just looks at us and says: "Muppets, what's so funny.."

    Grabs the ketchup bottle, pulls and face and says: "Spas!!"

    Then gives the bottle a shake like he's **** an fucking elephant and dowses the whole wall and ceiling with the fcuking stuff!

    Of course, we were then asked to leave.

    When I was in college, the MTV awards were on in Dublin in 1999. tickets were scarce. A house of girls we knew had a payphone in the house. So we put up adverts all over the place giving out their phone number advertising tickets...

    They were plagued for weeks with calls until the penny dropped and taking a fairly well educated guess...they gave out our mobile numbers to people that rang....

    Man that night cldnt come quick enough...:o

    Simple but effective.....

    If you ever get on to someone else's Facebook change their status to something like this:

    "Got the job in Australia, flying out next week. I cant wait to see the back of this s**thole and every f**ker that lives in it"

    turned up to a second date wearing a wedding dress

    Years ago I used to share a university flat in the UK. One of my flatmates, Mark, came in for a bit of pranking:

    WE put big speakers outside his bedroom door and played a track from Pink Floyd's The Wall album (which had just come out). Very loud. I cant remember the particular track just now but there was lots of noise, shouting and smashing glass sounds. That was just the Floyd, not Mark.

    Same guy, we put a mattress up against his door and barricaded him in for hours, probably with his GF.

    Same guy, I made a joint from ordinary mixed herbs like you'd use in the kitchen, left it on the kitchen table and went out. When I got back some hours later he'd smoked it and thought it was OK. He did actually smoke joints anyway!

    [edit] Nearly forgot. Back in the day then, computers used to use punched cards and paper tape for input of programs and data. The machines that punched the little holes saved the bits in a little box, to be tidy. I got about a pint of little paper circles about 1.5mm across, and tipped them over (you guessed, Mark's) head just after he came out of the bathroom having had a shower.

    My best ever prank

    My daughters Godmother wanted to get rid of her sunbed, her husband said he'd take it to the tip for her, but she wasnt happy with that and wanted to sell it, bit of a minor row broke out as he said it was an old one and she wouldnt get anything for it, but she was determined

    Any way, she placed an advert and got a phone call, bloke came round and bought it for £30, she was delighted and put a load of post it notes all over the house saying "£30" just to make her point to her husband.

    The husband wants his revenge and so phones me, to ask me the favour, I ring her and putting on a Lancashire accent, rang up as yer man, complaining about the sunbed and that I wanted my money back, she was arguing with me for ages that it had been fine when it left the house and in perfect working order and I must have damaged it when I took it away in the car, the husband had clued me in so I was arguing about the capacity of a Ford Escort, and the height of a sunbed and how Id not gone over the speedbumps but gone the long way round.I was killing myself trying not to laugh

    eventually I had to put her out of her misery and I told her in my own voice, there was another problem, as every second tanning bulb was broken and I had a sun tan like a zebra.................long pause..........."You *****8!!!!" the air was blue as she realised she'd been duped, and her husband at the other end and myself were crying laughing

    I'm not sure if this was a prank or pre-meditated evil (and I got the idea from dennis the menace or Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes or somewhere like that) but back in my school days I made a lovely hard snowball one snowy winter day, put it in the freezer for a few months, brought it to school in a flask on a beautiful sunny June day and smacked a teacher on the back of the head with it during class. It exploded all over her and the blackboard. I was a horrible child (although it still makes me laugh so I'm possibly a horrible adult too).

    My mate moved all the furniture out of another mate's bedsit, pulled up the carpet, pulled up a floorboard and stuck a phone in it with the alarm set to go off every 10 minutes from 3am til 6am, replaced everything and then watched the poor girls sleep deprivation for days until the battery ran out.

    live with 2 mates of mine. On and off playing pranks on eachother.

    One of the them went away for a few days so we decided to hide a load of gone off condoms we have in his work clothes.

    In each pocket we have a tied condom with some soapy **** in them :)

    All his work shirt pockets have condoms, and condom wrappers in them :)


    Hes also started seeing this girl who he plays tennis with. Weve tied 4 condoms to the racket strings in the hope that he will just pull it out next time hes playing..


    Not the best, but we plan on following him when he plays next.

    me and my mates used to drink at this pub that was set about 30 yards back from a main road, with a beer garden at the front. Across the road was a telephone box with a rubbish bin next to it.

    We took the number of the phone box and started calling it when people walked past. Whenever someone answered my mate would put on his best DJ voice and tell them he was from the local radio station and they were the lucky person who could win £1000( we were in england), and all they had to do was find the brown paper bag stuffed with cash in the bin next to the phone box.

    We got 7 people in one afternoon, all rooting through the bin looking for a bag, priceless.

    One bloke heard us laughing and started to come over and have a go at us, but changed his mind when he saw there was about ten of us pissing our sides at him.

    One halloween I painted a white line up the centre of someones tarmac driveway, and double yellow lines along the side, right up to there front door. The driveway was about 200-250 yards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,976 ✭✭✭Brendog


    Not original, but funny all the same....

    Theres a guy I work with and when using a stapler he properly punches it down. Its so loud and irritating! yet he constantly does it. Everyday BANGBANGBANG. It does my head in!



    Imagine the look on his face when he opens his drawer and finds his beloved stapler encased in jelly.

    what was better was hes allergic to lemon and was afraid to touch it.







    hes still giving me daggers now as I'm posting this.....

    Me and my 2 housemate done this one last year when the iThief was in Galway:

    I dressed in a black hoddie and black track-suit bottoms (made myself look a bit dodgy!). I went out on Shop Street dressed like this with an envelope which was noticable sticking out of my pocket the day the iThief was in Galway City. Anyways when someone would ask if I was the thief I would hand them the envelope and then walk off. The envelope contained a "code" and a mobile number to call (the mobile no. was an old one my housemate had and he was waiting at the apartment for the call. When someone rang he answered pretending to be iRadio and told them to please hold and they would be put through to the show live on air. At this point the phone was left done beside the laptop which was playing James Blunt Your Beautiful while the person was on 'hold'!

    We done this to 6 different people all thinking they had won a few grand!! One guy waited on the phone 11 minutes while we played James Blunt over and over!

    With attitudes like that I've no doubt as to why all the condoms that you have are gone off!

    Put a friend in the local paper advertising a nice kind of cheap apartment the week after the leaving cert results came out. He got so many phone calls his battery kept dying, his voicemail box was full and he couldn't use his phone for 2 weeks.

    Also learned something too those arseholes at the paper must give out early copies in the morning to people they know because it started around 9am. Best 17 euro I ever paid.

    Also recently, more of a tester for when I do it properly. I wrote a script and put it on a work colleagues computer. It either opened and closed the CD drive, or beeped 200 times and then open and closed it...It kept running continously in the background and would do one or the other in any length of time between 1 millisecond to 4 hours. The beeping was from the motherboard too so you can't mute it. I also hid the file and put it in a place in the registry so it would start up anytime the machine started :D

    I'm tweaking it for somebody else...I'm going to use Microsoft Sam and Mary and have them argue with one another...
