    Round my old house we super glued people into rooms by gluing the door shut, tied wool from door handle to door handle so you couldn't leave either room, taken all the door handles so somebody would be trapped in the hallway, taken all the bars from inside the door handles and left the handles on so they would be trapped again after they copped on, set jelly in a cistern, food dye in showers shampoo etc, so you would spray yourself.

    On the way into some interview in suits put a single small cone in the middle of the road and there was a queue like a mile long, because people in suits, serious business.
    All I remember off hand.

    I was pranked good:

    Couple of years ago I moved to KL where I met my now fiancée.

    In the early days of dating I had not told my parents, but as things got serious it was time to let everyone know about her. Unbeknownst to me around the same time I had planned to do a skype video conf introducing my wonderful gf, my siblings sent an email to my mum, (who not being technically literate would not see the difference in email addresses), saying that I had met a ladyboy and fallen madly in love.

    To this day I think there is some doubt in my poor mammy's mind.

    Its a hell of a good one tho I do concede!

    Wasn't me who did this but it's good, I'm not too sure on all the details but I will tell it anyway. The wife of a guy who lives near me had recorded the previous weeks lotto draw and then bought a new ticket with the previous weeks numbers on it. When it came to the time of the draw she played the recorded draw and the numbers came out. She showed the numbers to her husband and he went crazy ringing people, going out to neigbours and telling them and then heading down the pub. I'm not quite sure what happened when she eventually told him but I wouldn't imagine he was best pleased. True story.

    There is a guy in my work who has targeted another guy (friend) for a series of devious pranks. One of the better ones went like this-

    Guy A arrives in work every day and sits down to a bowl of corn flakes. Every morning, the same routine. So one day, Guy B went to a pet shop and purchased a box of crickets that pet shops sell for feeding lizards or whatever. Before Guy A arrives in work, Guy B tipped the contents of the box into the corn flakes and closed it up again.
    Guy A arrived in work. Knowing full well that he is the repeated target for pranks, he picked up the box of corn flakes and felt something was wrong. So he opened the box and pointed the opened end at Guy B. Nothing happened. Thinking everything was cool, Guy A looked into the box. Right when the crickets decided to make their break for freedom. So they all leaped straight into Guy A's face. Queue screaming and flailing of limbs.

    Another time, Guy B printed a picture of Guy A. He cut out the face, stuck it to the angel you put on the top of the christmas tree, attached some fishing line and hung it out the window one floor below him, where Guy A was working. Guy A couldn't reach the angel, so he had to sit staring at this angel with his grinning face floating outside the window all day. Simple, but the effect was highly amusing.

    Urban legend, everyone knows someone that did that.

    I couldn't be fooled on the most foolingest day of the year with an electronic fooling machine.

    Two I can think of, off hand are from the radio, I remember the Ian Dempsey Show announced on 1st April that Ronan Collins had won the Lotto and rang him to confirm, conspiracy theorists were going nuts.

    On a similar them a radio station in Cork have a competetition called Cash Call where the give out an hourly number and if they ring you, you have to call it back to them to win €1000. The presenter of the morning show, was doing it only it turned out to be his brother and he was getting hints at the answer by asking questions. People were threatening with legal actions and everything.

    Me and my mates set up a fake facebook for a girl called emma and send this ****in married eejit all the way to scotland with a pink dildo, expecting a ride. His wife left him. True story!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    Ah, was about 11 so innocent and giddy 100% of the time! So me and a few mates decided to prank his mums house. They had their phone near the front door and I had a keyring with all those sounds on it....one being (conveniently) a phone.

    So queue me sticking it through the letter box and setting it off. The mother coming out and picking up the phone. Ah, we all laughed heartily.

    Urban legend or not I know the guy this happened to so I know this one is true but I guess that what anyone would say.

    By the way where can i get one of electronic fooling machines, I lost a bid on ebay for one a while back and have never seen one since.

    (Probably nsfw) http://prankvote.com/1.html

    There's some hilarious pranks in there. Some ****e ones too.

    It's worth searching through for the lulz.

    The library one is my favorite.

    Used to have great battles in school. Which include, super gluing the sipper on another lads school bag. Putting maggots into anothers samwedge, Putting hand wash cream in all the chuck holes on the lathe so it went flying everywhere when the machine was turned on. Getting a handfull of salt and vinegar crisps, cruching them up and blowing them in someones eyes. Lit ciggar in the hood. Swaping all the books in the bags of two students that hate eachother. Always telling someone that the principal wants them to go to the office. Did he or didn't he.

    Few years ago when I was in college we recorded a big attack scene from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and put it as my ringtone. These girls we knew lived next door and we had adjoining skylights so we climbed into their room and put the phone under the bed. We then waited until 3 o' clock that night and rang the phone. The phone starts screaming and moments later two very shocked girls come screaming down two flights of stairs and out the front door!!

    Catching a live wasp and placing it in a siblings bed under the blankets.

    It was a hell of a way to discover they were allergic to stings....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Pighead and his flatmates were watching a horror movie once that was high on gore and low on a meaningful story line. The chicks were scared shitless. Pighead noticed that one of them in particular was shaking like an epileptic chicken with the fear. After the film was over it was bedtime for all as we had work in the morn.

    Quietly Pighead went up to the really scared girls bedroom and hid under her duvet. Heard her come into the room and waited a minute, wait, wait, wait, wait, RAAAAAAARRRRRRR went Pighead, throwing the duvet up in the air and twisting his face into a grotesque shape.

    Went to look at her face for her reaction but didn't make it up that far as there were boobs everywhere which demanded to be looked at. She was standing there in a state of shock in just a yellow pair of knickers. Some said Pighead had waited too long under the duvet before revealing himself. They were wrong though. He'd timed it perfectly.

    This was actually a prank that George Clooney played on a flatmate while he was a struggling actor. He told the story on The Tonight Show many years ago

    Clooney moves in with a mate who owns a cat. The litter box is kept inthe jacks and the cat would go in and do it's business everynight.

    Clooney is the first one up and heads into the jacks and sees that the cat has done it's business. Not being a cat owner he cleans up the littler box and flushes it down the toilet. This happens several days in a row.

    The flatmate (and owner of the cat) notices that the cat has not done t's business in quite a long time (as far as he knows) and mentions it to Clooney. Clonney recommends that he should probably take the cat to the vet to have it checked out. The vet prescribes a laxative for the cat.

    Clooney now starts getting up earlier to make sure he can be the first one in the jacs every morning to clean the litter box again. The flatmate stills sees the box as being clean after a few days and doubles the dosage.

    The cat in the meantime is turning itself iside and out from the laxatives.

    Finally after another week of this, Clooney comes in from a night out. He cleans the litter box, and then drops his drawers and dumps in the litter box.

    The flatmate comes in the next morning and sees ....well ....you can imagine the difference in size.....and nearly **** himself.

    A friend of mine when he was away with his friends wanked into one of their hair gel containers and mixed it up, every day the guy would wake up and put it in his hair.

    Cue lines such as "You're looking very fertile today!"
