Great April Fools Day Pranks 2010 Menu
Your Funny Prank is Funny
If you want to have a Great April Fools Prank - remember this your prank should make your victim laugh or at least grin when they discover they have been pranked. Funny pranks that everybody laughs at are a sign of a true prank master. If you make people cry or you give them serious health problems or destroy property - not so funy no more. You go from prankster to bad person - a very bad person . Then you must feel shame.
Nobody Gets Fired on April Fools Day
Nobody loses their job, lover or friend and nobody is arrested in the process of performing a Great April Fools Prank. In England a couple of years back the best men at a wedding managed to get the groom slobbering drunk and put him on the train to France with no money so that he missed his own wedding. Nice friends.
No Property Damage for your Funny Prank
It is important that nothing gets damaged in the process of you playing a Funny Prank. Putting dead fish in the walls or in the back seat of a car is just vandalism it is not a form of clever revenge. Unplugging all the wires under the hood…mmm about as creative as a tree stump.
You will not receive glory for your Funny Pranks - you will have shame.
Confuse Them with your Funny Pranks
The best pranks involve an element of confusion, or preys upon people’s ability to jump to conclusions. It is also fun to prey on peoples ignorance or poor attitudes.

What to Avoid for April Fools Pranks
Picking people at random for prank phone calls or messing with their
vehicle is just a mean spirited form of self entertainment. People who do these kinds of pranks are likely to be blessed with a huge amount of bad karma.
If you involve the police, fire or ambulances services you could get criminal charges. Why waste the time of people that really do a good thing for society? What if they were following up a prank instead of a real emergency situation? Just because you think it is a joke to start with, it doesn’t mean that it will be a valid excuse in a court of law.
Getting companies like pizza delivery, termite removal or any other business involved, borders on fraud and may get you a criminal charge as well. If you owned a pizza parlor and delivered ten pizzas to a non existent address-I don’t think you would be too pleased about it. But, at the same time-some people just need a good prank.
Planning your April Fools Prank
If you really want to make a good execution of your great prank idea you need to plan carefully. Have a strategy so that all worst case scenarios are accounted for. What if they react this way? What if they react that way? What is the worst thing that could happen?
.
For example you want to practice denying the knowledge of the situation. Every time I execute a prank I have a well planned out response to being caught. The best thing to do is play dumb. Imagine them catching you and what would you say? Try saying things like, “What are you talking about?” Or, “I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.”
Remember safety first. If there is a potential of major problems- pick a different prank.
Funny Prank Reinforcements
If you are using a story to establish your prank you may have some difficulty getting people to believe you. Unless you are the greatest liar on the planet I suggest you get some people to help you out.
I find that the most powerful way to convince people of an outrageous concept is to throw the concept out there and then speak of it in a skeptical manner.
When working at a television station in Vancouver we told the audience that there were unconfirmed reports of sharks swimming in the local bay. I kept repeating that I didn’t believe it myself. It was the use of the local aquarium spokesperson and a police spokesperson that really brought it home. The reason this prank worked so well is that we kept down playing it and that made it look like we were actually trying to hide something.
Tips for Funny Spoken Word Pranks
Downplay the scope of the situation
Take the side of the target and say I don’t believe it either.
Get co conspirators to use back up statements like, “I saw that on the TV last night” or “I heard about that”, but always undersell. If you are too enthusiastic you will be busted in a second.
Using people of authority in your pranks tend to make your victims believe a lot quicker. Using a system of phone calls to somebody at work to get them to believe that the event is real.
Reinforcing Your April Fools Pranks
Let’s say you get a bunch of your coworkers to tell the target they smell, they smell odd, like computer cleaner. After the third or fourth person tells them, they will begin to believe it. Whenever you can cause confusion or doubt; and have a whole bunch of other pranksters that reinforce that doubt, you will have much better results.
Stay Anonymous for Your April Fools Prank
The best pranks are pulled off by people who don’t get caught for them. If you get a reputation of being a pranker then everyone will want to get you. They will scheme late at night and most of the next day trying to figure out their revenge. Try to make it look the prank was played on you too.
Get Evidence of Your Funny Pranks
Get some pictures, take some notes, and keep a good record of your pranks. That way you can enjoy them over and over again.
Thanks so much for making the world a prankier place to live. If you know of a prank that we are missing off of our list that is smothered in creativity and confusion of the target you need to write to us immediately.
