Being an Office fan, Jim and Dwight’s playful pranks also sometimes must have brought out your playful side. It comes off as an instinct to prank your siblings or seek revenge on someone who pranked you.
Pranks can come off as mean, but a little fun hurts nobody, or sometimes it can. Well, if April Fool’s Day has passed, there’s always another day you can simply choose to do some pranks this week. Look no further cause we’re glad to amuse you with these ideas as they’re low-effort, high-reward, and do not involve spilt liquids of any kind.
Firstly, divide these pranks into two, harmless and severe, and strategize if your victim is your enemy or just a simple pawn in your game. Happy pranking! May all the joy be with you and stay safe!
1. Bed switch
While the younger one sleeps, please pick them up and place them somewhere else so they wake up confused. Even better is when you act nonchalantly after they question you, as they don’t know who picked them or how they landed there. This effortless prank can only be done if the individual is a sound sleeper and is likely not heavy.
2. Donut mess with me!
Replace the sweet insides of a doughnut with mayonnaise and let them have it for breakfast. Mind you, we are not responsible for the fits you’ll face later. This can be tried mainly on breakfast lovers who love energizing themselves in the morning before starting their day.
3. Keep your head high
Keep a glass of glitter above the door your victim is about to enter. Watch the tantrums unfold, and the victims sparkle with all the beautiful glitter. However, don’t try it on a working individual entering the home because, well, it might get very ugly.
4. Salt or sugar?
One of the many classic pranks is swapping sugar with salt or vice versa. This can be helpful for one to know if their tastebuds are intact or not—we don’t make the rules! Ensure that having sugar won’t cause adverse effects later.
5. Future is now
Any savvy Office fan might know the ‘Future fax’ prank; however, the tool might be ancient now. You can opt for mail with a fake replica of their original mail ID. It should be convincing with a serious undertone, and you should catch yourself laughing at how easily they fall into your trap.
6. Phil’s favorite hospital food
You guessed it right, c and you can already imagine how much that prankster hates you if you have been Jell-O-ed. Add in their favorite accessory or stationery item and freeze it, and that’s how you end up in their bad books. However, it is a very light-hearted way of setting the tone and can be gobbled up if you have sweetened the Jell-O enough. Counts as a dessert?
7. The Pavlov experiments
If you’re patient as a person and if you’re playing the gigs on a person who resides at your home, well, this one’s going to take you and your victim on a ride. Start training with a particular noise and hand them something right at that time; continue this for the next few weeks until you’re convinced, he’s conditioned entirely.
Boot the same noise and immediately watch them extend their hand. Turns out that paying attention in psych class pays off, and they will be left successfully brainwashed. This experiment was successfully visualized on the show Office, so use that episode as a guide and watch how the mastermind, Jim, baffles Dwight with all his might!
8. Oui oui?
Nothing’s more frustrating than not breaking the language barrier. To take advantage of this exact factor, change their phone’s default language from English to any native language and watch how bamboozled or, well, annoyed they get. However, do this at your own risk, and not with your parents!
9. Counterfeit shocks
Finding fake props like fake nail polish spills or melting ice cream from a shop that sells fancy dress costumes is a lot easier today. Cop these and scare your loved ones for a minute of shock. Moreover, you can use fake creatures like spiders or roaches, although those are very nasty and can gross out any individual.
10. Flip out
One might love midday or midnight snacks, especially if their go-to meal is wraps. They’re bound to grab the mayonnaise jar from the fridge. Now, it’s your turn to remove the whole mayonnaise content from the jar and add in their favorite toothpaste. This can not only remind them to get rid of their stinky breath but also remind them not to mess with their meals kept in the fridge.
What if the prank went too far and things got too messy?
Whilst some harmless pranks are unintentionally funny, some may take it too far and resort to merciless gigs expecting laughter. Taking this kind of fun with a pinch of salt is the best advice, but not when it plays with your feelings and, eventually, your mind. Pranks like texting back your ex for a dare, setting one of your favorite things on fire, etc., can anger anyone and help them plot a more significant revenge on you.
Although if you plan on getting back at them, you’re equally as foolish as them, so now the pranking rules 101 apply equally to both of you; you should both expect to be intentionally embarrassed and made unhappy by the other person when you least expect it.
That’s why ensure you’re never crossing boundaries and always aim for fun and harmless pranks as possible, as these gigs can set out your characteristics differently to people, even the ones you love.
Key takeaway
Who doesn’t love pranks? Sometimes, a little fun can make someone’s day or ruin it, depending on the extremity of your prank and their mood. Otherwise, you’re good to go. Therefore, keep your gigs harmless and creative so that they end up with laughter and not a huge fight.
