What's the Best Prank you've ever pulled or seen pulled?

CodyJarrett · 30-07-2012 02:35PM #1

Friday night was heading into town with a mate on the 46a (forgot to pick up my guitar) and when we got to Donnybrook this woman got on (late 40s, caked in Max Factor) and sat down in the seat in front of us (downstairs) and what with the the fumes off her, we could only assume that someone had steeped her clothes in perfume the night previous.

Anyway, her phone rings (iPhone set to office ringtone) and with the poshest D4 accent she answers and shouts:

"HALLOH .. OH DAPHNE .. YES, WELL I TRIED TO PHONE YOU BUT .. NO DAPHNE NO .. I'M ACTUALLY ON A BUS .. YES, A BUS .. I KNOW .. WELL NEEDS MUST (obnoxious laughter) WHAT? .. NO, JOHN HAS TAKEN THE CAAR AND MY BAG WAS ON THE SEAT AND ALL MY CARDS WERE .. WAIT DAPHNE .. (she looks around as if everyone about her was covered in excrement) I'LL CALL YOU IN PINCH HUN AS EVERYONE HERE IS LISTENING TO MY CONVERSATION .. OKAY, WILL DO".

Quick glance around and everyone within earshot (the whole downstairs) were rolling their eyes and slowly shaking their heads at her. The bloody cheek of the her: WE were "listening" to her conversation. No, we were assaulted by your conversation you verminous battleaxe!

Anyway, on we went (her gripping her handbag as if we were on the 77

) and when we got to the Berkeley Rd, she rises and informs the bus driver that she wishes to be dropped at the next stop (bell too good for her I guess).

Then, just as steps off and the bus is pulling away (her walking back alongside it) my mate quickly taps on the window to get her attention. She looks at him out of the corner of her eye (face like a slapped arse, mouth as if she'd just taken a sip of lemon juice) to which my friend slowly raises his own iPhone and winks at her, with smug grin on his face.

Well, her mouth drops open and she nearly goes arse over tit turning on her heels, clambering to get the driver to stop - to her misfortune, he does and so she marches in announcing that a man on the bus has robbed her, instructing the driver to "Call the police" before she proceeds to walk down and say (as if she were on stage at the Abbey): "The police have been called clever man. I suggest you give that back."

Mate calmly says: "I'm sorry, but you misunderstood. I was just saying that we have the same phone as one another, that's all (then holds up his iPhone as if it wasn't worth all that much) .. this one is mine". She opened her bag and slowly took out her own to which everyone broke up, even the driver (who made some quip to her which I wish I had heard).

Maybe you had to be there, but thought it was up there with the best pranks I've ever witnessed, all the more funnier as she was deserving of it (think all the best pranks have that about them).

Anyway, what's your favourite prank that you've either done yourself or witnessed being done?

I know a lad who convinced a cop he had a limp and a gammy hand for about 2 hours.

The cop dropped his coffee cup in shock when he realised he'd been tricked.

I have done so many I do not know where to start. I have a bit of a fetish for pranks and tricks.

The one that jumped first to mind _this_ time though (theres been a few threads on this before) was a time I was driving along a road in england and some friends were following who did not know the way. We lost them though so I decided I would pull in to let them catch up.

At that exact moment I saw some really black skid marks going off the road and into a field/hedge/ditch thing. Looks like a Tractor did a sudden turn. The best part of the "prank" was that I do not even remember deciding to do it. I just found myself - as if controlled by the great prankster in the sky - pulling into the ditch just where the skid marks ended - and lying face down on the steering wheel and indicating my passanger to do the same.

The face on our mates when they caught up was priceless - looking as it did like we went off the road and were dead on the dashboard.

Are you insinuating I shagged her?

Well, have you ever seen a woman in her favourite heels and Sunday best walk from a car that has broken down in a muddy lane? Like that.

Humor truely is subjective it seems. There was a certain element of "You had to be there" to it though.

I remember a few years ago my sisters friend came up to our house with her newborn baby. Anyway she was in the kitchen showing him off to my father and then came into the sitting room where I was. I spotted my little sisters baby all tears doll and wrapped it in the newborns blanket. I then walked into the kitchen and pretended to trip which sent the doll flying across the room. My father nearly had a heart attack thinking it was the newborn.

Scottish bloke I knew told me when he was in University in London, he invited his English friends over for a Burns night dinner. He served them some Haggis which he said had been made by his mother back in Scotland when in truth he had made it - from a tin of dog food

A mate of mine was drunk at a house party and when he wasn't looking I put a laxative in his drink. Not a majorly strong one but string enough to make his gutts fall out of his arse for an hour or two. About 20 mins later he was talking to someone else and mid conversation his face just went

and quietly announced "Lads I have to go" then sprinted home.

Simple but effective.

Note: he retaliated by putting ipicac in my drink another night. Kinda backfired when I puked all over his couch.

djflawless · 30-07-2012 08:34PM

Few good ones there i must admit.my fave that ive attempted a few times after seeing it on youtube.the old cling film over the door of the dark room.nearest its ever been to backfiring was one of the lads having a panic attack.pure class

Another bus one.

It was 2005/2006, I was on the number 5 bus from CIT to the train station, at the time it took a right past washington street, stopped and went down the south mall. Just where it stops is a Hillbillies.

So a good bit before we got to that point a shower of 10-11 year olds got on. About 4 of them, they were fairly loud now, 2 of them exchanged phone numbers so I got one of them anyway, had a big brute of a phone (Nokia 9500) at the time but i was sitting in the window seat so was grand they never spotted me.

Sent one of them a text "see you outside hillbillies in half an hour for a blew jab". The lad got the text and read it out loud so everyone could hear even the 'blew jab', everyone got a fit of laughing.

Anyway bus stops just across the road from hillbillies, see the 4 lads cross the road line up 1 by 1 outside the window of hillbillies. Then i turned my phone off

A couple of days before Aprils fools day the fridge broke down. It had given trouble before. Parents were annoyed as they payed money to get it fixed before and it broke. So I took advantage of this. I sellotaped the light switch near the top of the door that turns the light on and off. When the parents saw the fridge all dark they were pissed and they thought it was broken.

2. My friends dog did a huge cràp. He put it into a brown paper bag and left it outside someone's house. Lit it on fire and ran behind a bush. It was hilarious when the man stood on the bag and got shîte all overhim.

That was actually me and I'm not a bint I'll have you know, I wear prada from head to toe.
My husband who's 88 bought me a bugatti which makes me feel great.
My make up wasn't max factor that's only for women who drive a tractor.
Now please excuse me as I call my girlfriends and talk in an obnoxious tone which seems to offend.

The litre switch, as in the one that causes the fridge to dispense a litre of milk?

Call the local chipper.

"Do you deliver?"

"Can I have mine with onions please?"

Hilarity ensues

While working in the buying dept of a construction firm I witnessed this gem. Newbie comes back from lunch to be told that one of his site agents had requested a specialist order from a specific supplier. Newbie was given a post it with the details and phone number. So he rings the number..."Hi. I was told I could get a 24" vibrator there. Yeah, 24 inches, a petrol one. You don't? I was told I could hire one the..No. I'm not takin the piss. I'm.....what?WHAT? Ah ****." Slams phone down and storms out in a major huff amid the whole department rolling around in tears of laughter.
Some context;
A 24" petrol(driven) vibrator is used on building sites to get air out of concrete and we usually hire them.
The phone number was for Utopia sex shop.

He didn't speak to the guy that set him up for a week and is still sore about it if I bring it up.

i once was driving my car and stopped to give a friend a lift when he got near the car i drove on a little further. i repeated this a few times and was pissing myself laughing as he was getting angrier and angrier. hilarious stuff all together. it spawned many copycats

Lando Griffin · 31-07-2012 12:38AM

Ha ha ha. All very good nothing like a giggle. I was out walking the OH (who is not the tallest) one fine evening when swoosh a swallow (bird) just missed her head. "That bsstard nearly hit me" she claimed. " Probably collecting midgets" says I.

admiralofthefleet · 31-07-2012 12:46AM

my brother who posts here might remember this more than me as he was more sober:

years ago in a pub before mignight at the olypmia i kept knocking over some tarts wine. i bought 2 (maybe more) to replace but kept knocking it over. i was sick of replacing it so one of the lads pissed in the bottle and gave it to her.
i saw her later at the olympia so she was ok

mrwhimwham · 31-07-2012 12:51AM

Had a friend who had a knack for leaving sh1ts everywhere in people's houses: in the toilet cistern, in closets, even once in a washing machine. But his finest moment was one night we went back to a random house party and were having the bants, when my friend comes into the room and calls me out to the kitchen. Lo and behold, the fecker had taken a sh1t in the poor people's kettle! Needless to say, we didn't wait around for the people to find out!!! :pac:
