20 Hilarious Pranks To Do On Friends

Pranks are universally adored, especially when you are the mastermind behind them. The indescribable delight of pulling a harmless trick on a close friend is truly invaluable. Naturally, it’s essential to ensure that no one is hurt or offended, but a well-executed prank is truly satisfying. As April Fools’ Day approaches, the perfect opportunity arises to brainstorm some amusing pranks to play on our companions.

There are endless possibilities when it comes to choosing which prank to pull. The following pranks are excellent choices for getting some laughs, whether it’s at the expense of your family, friends, co-workers, or even your partner (if you’re feeling bold). Some pranks are simple and can be done in no time, while others may require more thought and preparation. In any case, these practical jokes are guaranteed to have you laughing uncontrollably on the floor.

1. Mentos In Coke

Putting a Mentos in a bottle of Coke is widely known for its explosive reaction. It’s a popular prank that never fails to elicit laughter, although it requires a bit more effort to set up compared to other pranks. To execute this prank, you need to open the bottle of Coke, place the Mentos beneath the cap using a thin material as a support. After resealing the bottle with the cap, remove any excess material and ensure the lid is tightly secured. Finally, hand the prepared bottle to your friend, and enjoy the spectacle of Coke spraying everywhere. It’s advisable to carry out this prank outdoors or on a tiled surface to avoid staining your carpets with Coke.

2. Toilet Paper Poo

Although it may be a little repulsive, it is undeniably hilarious. Placing a fake feces in a strategic location is guaranteed to stir up some excitement, whether it be at home or in the workplace. Simply take a roll of toilet paper and moisten it with water. Once dampened, dismantle the cardboard tube and mold it into the shape of a turd. All that’s left to do is allow it to dry and discreetly place it where it will gain attention. This could involve positioning it on the toilet itself or on a colleague’s desk, as depicted in the aforementioned image. However, it is essential to ensure that the person you prank has a sense of humor, as some individuals may not find fecal matter amusing.

3. The Caramel Onion Prank

This recipe is quick and easy. Just gather onions, chocolate, and ice cream sticks. Melt the chocolate and coat the onions with it. Place the ice cream sticks (or any skewer) into the onions and let the chocolate solidify. Now you have a treat that looks like a chocolate-covered apple or another type of fruit. Imagine the hilarious reaction of your friends when they bite into one of these chocolate onions. While they rush to the trash to spit it out, you’ll be doubled over with laughter.

4. Roach Silhouette

This is an excellent prank to pull on someone who is afraid of bugs. Although it is more effective at night when lamps are typically turned on, it will still provide a good laugh. The trick involves creating bug-shaped cutouts and attaching them underneath a lampshade. When the lamp is switched on, the shadows will create the illusion of a big bug crawling on the lamp. For those who fear spiders or other insects, you can also make cutouts specifically tailored to their phobias.

5. Brown ‘Es’

Alright, so here’s a simple yet potentially amusing prank. It’s also very convenient to execute. All you need is some brown card or paper. Cut out a couple of oversized letter ‘Es’ from it. Place these letters in a baking tray and cover them with aluminum foil. When you have friends or family over, make an announcement that you’ve baked some brownies and ask if anyone wants one. Chances are, someone will express interest. This is when you can offer them the “Brown Es” you’ve prepared. It may not be the funniest prank out there, but as mentioned before, it’s a harmless joke that won’t cause any serious anger, unless someone is extremely craving brownies.

6. Explovise Toilet

Your friends will be terrified by this prank. Acquire some bang snaps and securely affix them to the underside of the toilet seat using clear tape. Gently lower the seat and patiently await your unsuspecting target. When they sit on the toilet, the bang snaps will ignite, creating a startling effect that will make them feel like they’re in a scene from Lethal Weapon 2.

7. Toothpaste Oreos

This particular prank is just as revolting as it may sound. Take some Oreos and remove the delectable filling, only to replace it with white toothpaste. Serve these modified cookies to your friends or family and witness their disappointment as they take a big bite or lick, expecting the usual icing, only to discover they are actually consuming minty fresh toothpaste!

8. Soap That Won’t Lather

Did you know that nail polish has a surprising use beyond just painting nails? It can actually prevent a bar of soap from foaming up. By applying nail polish to the bar of soap, it becomes water-resistant, causing water to simply slide off when it’s wet. This can be quite irritating for someone trying to wash their body in the shower and can lead to frustration and anger. You won’t be able to witness this trick unless you are in the bathroom, but it will surely bring a smile to your face when your housemate or partner emerges from the shower, grumbling about their ineffective bar of soap.

9. Cling Wrap Toilet

A timeless favorite! Pulling a prank by covering your toilet bowl with cling wrap may be messy, but it never fails to bring laughter. This classic joke guarantees hilarious outcomes every time. When your male friends use the toilet, their urine will splatter all over the cling film, causing amusement. As for your female acquaintances, they might spot the cling wrap before sitting down, but if they don’t, they’ll be in for a surprising experience.

10. Tinfoil Their Room

Although it may require extra effort, this prank idea guarantees a hilarious outcome. Gather a generous amount of aluminum foil and meticulously wrap every single item in the victim’s room, including their TV, desk, and pillows. Transform their room into a shimmering silver wonderland. The satisfaction of witnessing the shocked reaction of the person you pranked is well worth the hard work. Additionally, they will have the laborious task of unwrapping everything, which will undoubtedly take an eternity.

11. Seedboard

For maximum effect, execute this prank in a work setting. Begin by removing the top of a colleague’s keyboard. Next, place cotton wool around the uncovered keys and scatter a few seeds on top. Once you’ve replaced the cover, patiently await the outcome. Although this prank requires patience, in a week or two, your co-worker will be bewildered by the sight of vegetation sprouting from their keyboard. This hilarious office prank is guaranteed to bring laughter to everyone involved.

12. Airhorn Chair

This prank is reminiscent of placing bang snaps under the toilet seat, but with a twist. Instead of bang snaps, an air horn is cleverly attached underneath a work chair. When your colleague sits down, the pressure of their bodyweight triggers the horn, resulting in a startling sound. Not only will this scare the person sitting on the chair, but it will also startle everyone else in the office as the horn’s sound resonates throughout the space. To avoid any mishaps, it would be wise to inform everyone in advance about the prank. After all, you wouldn’t want your boss to be startled and accidentally spill their coffee all over themselves.

13. Healthy Krispy Creams

Playing this office prank on April Fools’ Day can be quite amusing. Simply inform your colleagues that you’ll be generously treating them to some delectable Krispy Creams. Without a doubt, most individuals in the office will eagerly anticipate indulging in these mouthwatering donuts. However, instead of fulfilling their sugary desires, surprise them with a selection of healthy foods. Naturally, they will be disappointed to find themselves munching on carrots accompanied by dip, rather than savoring the sweet glazed taste of donuts. Admittedly, this option is far more beneficial for their well-being, but you may encounter a few disgruntled employees along the way.

14. Lubricated Hand Sanitizer

In today’s modern era, the usage of hand sanitizer has become incredibly widespread. Whether you find yourself in any location, you will undoubtedly come across a bottle of sanitizer readily available for you to maintain the cleanliness of your hands. However, a harmless prank has emerged, involving the substitution of sanitizer with lubricant. Since the two substances bear an identical appearance, individuals will remain oblivious until they squeeze a dollop onto their hand, only to discover that it does not absorb into the skin. This inexpensive and amusing prank can be executed wherever a bottle of sanitizer is present.

15. Confetti Fan

Make sure you are prepared to tidy up the aftermath before attempting this prank. Additionally, it is crucial to check for the presence of a ceiling fan, as the prank won’t work without one. Executing this prank is quite simple. Acquire confetti or shred paper into numerous tiny pieces. Proceed by placing them on the top of the ceiling fan. When your friend activates the fan, everyone in the room will be showered with confetti. It’s important to note that cleaning up the confetti will likely be more time-consuming than the prank itself, making it more of an annoyance.

16. Cheesy Orange Drink

This particular concoction is rather repulsive. Take a jug and pour in some freshly squeezed orange juice, then throw in a box of Kraft Dinner. Give it a good shake, and voila! You now have a cheesy orange cocktail that is guaranteed to be a hit during breakfast. Just envision how revolting this drink will taste, but it will undoubtedly be amusing to observe someone taking a massive gulp and witnessing their reaction.

17. Stapler in Jelly

This is a well-known prank often associated with the popular American sitcom The Office. Jim, known for his mischievous ways, decides to play a trick on Dwight by placing his stapler inside a bowl of jelly. This prank is simple to execute and guarantees laughter among coworkers. However, it’s important to choose items that are not too significant or personal. While submerging someone’s car keys in jelly might not be well-received.

18. Paint on the Windscreen

Although it may be more challenging to hide, pulling off this prank will surely leave you in stitches. Simply apply various acrylic paint dots onto the windshield or window wipers. Playfully mention to your friend that the windshield appears dirty and suggest they use the wipers to clean it. Before you know it, a vibrant rainbow of colors will grace the windscreen. If your friend becomes upset about the prank, reassure them that the paints can be easily removed and there’s no cause for concern.

19. Mayonnaise Filled Donuts

I have another hilarious office prank idea that involves donuts. Purchase some sugar donuts that are hollow, and then carefully inject mayonnaise into them. Once filled, they will resemble cream-filled donuts. When your unsuspecting co-workers take a bite, they will be met with a surprising and messy explosion of mayonnaise. However, please be mindful that this prank can be quite repulsive, so it’s a good idea to have nearby trash bins for anyone who wants to spit out the donut. Remember to avoid offering these mayonnaise-filled treats to your boss, as you don’t want to risk getting on their bad side.

20. Sticky Not Car

This prank involves using post-it notes to completely cover a workmate or friend’s car, similar to how one would cover a room with aluminum foil. It’s best to do this when you know the person won’t need their car, as it will take a considerable amount of time. To make a bigger impact, use post-it notes of various colors. This prank is guaranteed to generate laughter at the office and leave the unsuspecting victim seeking revenge.
