Creative April Fool's Day pranks, jokes and tricks

UNIQUE AND FUN PRANKS

Can't Come Clean

Add food coloring to the hand soap dispenser in your bathroom. When the victim tries to wash their hands, they will end up worse than where they started.

Photo Switch

Find a small picture of a monkey (or anything else you think is funny) and use temporary glue (a glue stick works well) to place it over the photo on the victim’s driver’s license. Then send them out for beer, or find some other excuse to send them somewhere where they will need to show their ID.

It's So Heavy

Take a (non-transparent) jug and fill it with a small amount of water. Pick it up and carry it like it is really heavy. Go to the victim and ask them to carry it somewhere for you. They’ll be unprepared for such a “light” load.

Just in Time >> new <<

An appliance timer is great fun for anyone who wants to pull a great April Fool’s Day joke. Try combining one with several items (radio, TV, bright light, etc.) using a power strip. Of course you want to set it up to go off in the middle of the night!

Remote Location

Stand outside a window while the victim is watching television, and use a universal remote control to change channels, adjust the volume, etc.

Blast ‘Em >> new <<

Set the victim’s TV to an obnoxious channel like Cartoon Network or the heavy metal channel, and turn the volume up to max volume. Now turn off the TV set. When your victim comes back and turns on the TV they will be surprised by a blast of loud programming!

Impressive

For this prank, there needs to be a bathroom within hearing distance of your victim. Hide a large container of water inside the bathroom. Wait for a quiet moment when the victim is nearby, and then excuse yourself. Then very slowly pour the water into the toilet—make sure it takes as long as possible. The victim will be amazed!

Force Field

Block off a door with plastic wrap. When the victim opens the door and tries to walk through, they will bounce right off.

Science Experiment >> new <<

Put a hunk of butter on a plate and let it soften. Then tell your victim that you learned an amazing science experiment in school: salt poured on butter will create heat. To demonstrate, pour some salt on the butter, hold your hand over, and pretend you are feeling the heat. As soon as they try it, slam their hand down in the butter. Bonus points if you hide all the napkins!
