If you are the jokester in the office or in your family, chances are you are seeking some fun pranks to play on those unsuspecting people in your life. A long history goes back for centuries on why we celebrate April Fools’ Day, but in this article we’ll just review some prank ideas. Whether you have enough time on your hands to place an online prank order or need something right away because April Fool’s Day is tomorrow, here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
Prank Place
Lucky for all of us, we don’t have to look far to find prank paraphernalia. PrankPlace.com is a retail website completely dedicated to all things silly. The website features everything from Golf Gags and hundreds of gag bumper stickers to camouflage beer can wraps and humiliating postcards and/or envelopes you can send in the mail.
If you have time, consider placing an order on this jokester mecca, where you will undoubtedly find all your April Fool’s Day needs. They actually have an entire section dedicated to the “Fart Mart” where you can find the “Fart Noise CD as heard on the Howard Stern show,” a remote control farting teddy bear, and farting bubble blowers. Toilet humor is an entire section.
Easy, Quick and Simple
Not enough time to order pre-made prank kits? Here are some things you can do yourself. It wouldn’t take much to create your own fake parking ticket for a friend’s car. Same thing with an embarrassing receipt you can leave on someone’s desk at the office. A fake serious-sounding company email could provide a perfect April Fools opportunity as well.
Other Fun Ideas
Tattoo sleeves or temporary tattoos are fun. Phone call ideas work best if they are personal- think of something the person would believe because it is related to an activity they’re involved in and have someone else make the call. Fake websites abound on April Fools Day- check Google and find one that will send your friends a fake notice they’ll believe. There’s also software that allows you to create a temporary ‘fake website’ to fool your friends and family. Have everyone in the office come to work wearing Snuggies. Fill the bathroom with balloons or packing peanuts. Put an iced cardboard cake in the office kitchen and see who tries to slice it.
