FIRECRACKERS IN THE BEDROOM

The best pranks catch people when they are at their most vulnerable and, without a doubt, while people are sleeping they are at their most defenseless.

FAKE DOG

In 2018, distractions from phones, videos, and stimuli from all directions means people are ever easier to deceive and increasingly easy to prank. This means that even the simplest forms of deceptions can be effective with targets of all kinds. In Fake dog, the prank is simple: hide a fake dog and a camera, and wait. You can use other creatures as well and often the bigger the statue, the better the result. If your target is distracted, he/she is sure to be startled, and laughs are sure to follow.

DeWigged

A wig is already an artful deception in it of itself. So pulling a prank on a wig wearer is really just one prankster getting the upper hand on another prankster, right? In this delightful video, a YouTuber is caught off guard while in the middle of a YouTube soliloquy by a younger prankster who, as the title implies, exposes a secret this YouTuber was not prepared to reveal. This prank can be achieved in a litany of other ways including removing hats, sunglasses, and other articles of attire that people may be wearing. As always, delight and laughter will definitely follow.

They are creepy creatures that often stir worrisome reactions from people all over and are especially terrifying if they appear when you are not ready for them.

Mouse N The Boot
DESCRIPTION
As the name implies, this trick is a great one if you can pull it off. Start with a simple boot, put a live mouse in and wait for the owner to put his boots on. Boots work best because they can somewhat contain the mouse for a while and are a great way to force even the most masculine men into quite an effeminate scream. He’ll scream, everyone will laugh and the jokes will carry on for days.
