Best College Pranks

My dad told me about a prank pulled when he was RA in a dorm. These guys went to a biology lab, and found a rat. They then killed it and dipped it in liquid nitrogen. It froze solid. Then, they went to some guys room and threw it against the wall.

Little rock hard rat pieces went everywhere. He said it was not so bad until a week later, when the rat pieces they did not clean up started to rot.

I am not sure if this is funny, or just disgusting. I kind of feel both ways about it.
 
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned all the great things you can do with Super Glue. Try glueing a persons windshield wipers down, or put a drop in his key lock. I've seen one person who ran super glue around the door and actually glued the door shut. Don't forget the window rubber. This will prevent the window from coming down. NOTE: Super Glue can be disolved with finger nail polish remover or with Automotive Spray starter fluid. Just in case it ever happens to you.

Try glueing a quarter to the sidewalk. Laugh at everyone trying to pick it up! Try glueing a dollar bill to a light pole or window.

My dorm use to face a main street. At 2:00 AM when the bars let out, the drunks would walk past my room making all sorts of noise. I would open my window and throw out a penny or two. They would wander around for a long time trying to find the change they thought they dropped.
 
We did the penny trick many times. After my roommate and I were locked in our room for two hours while everyone else was out drinking, I stole a pipe wrench from the utility closed. Until the end of the year when the lock snapped, it gave me just enough leverage to unlock the door.

Did the talcum powder in the ziplock bag.

I always wanted to drag someone who was passed out into the elevator and just leave him there. Never did, though, because the school started cracking down on underage drinking, and the person likely would have been arrested if he was found.

Completely sealed off one doorway with duct tape, while the guy was inside sleeping off the night's party. It would have been funnier, but he was still pretty groggy when he woke up, and ran smack into it. A nice chunk of his hair had to be cut off...

Our dorms had "rape alarms"; in every shower stall, there were strings attached to the alarm that you pulled if someone attacked you. Late one night, we tied all of the strings to the shower curtains two floors above so that the alarm would be set off when the curtains were opened. The next day all of the rape alarms on campus had the strings cut short 😉

We had an ongoing "war" with the guys two floors above us. After an incident one night where one of them relieved himself on our bathroom floor, we got even. We filled a few monster-sized garbage bags with snow, and coated part of one wing with snow 6 inches deep.

A gallon of concentrated dish detergent from Sam's Club emptied into the fountain...enough said 😉

Our dorm had very heavy bunk beds that were difficult to move. One morning, we noticed that one of the guys must have been in a hurry when he left for class; he locked his door, but hadn't latched it. We pushed it open, unlocked the door from the inside, and pushed the bed close to the door. We tied nylon rope to the legs, dragged the bed against the door, and then shoved the rope back underneath. It was hilarious, sitting there watching him locking and unlocking his door, trying to figure out why it wouldn't open.

Another night the same guy passed out in the bathroom without locking his door. We disassembled the beds and removed everything from the room. He came to a few hours later and opened his door, only to find his room completely bare.

My current roommate once passed out on the floor of our bathroom. We stripped him down to his underwear, and left him in the girls' bathroom upstairs.

My dorm was right across from the football stadium, and my window faced the entrance. A super-soaker on Saturdays as people were leaving provided endless entertainment.

To anyone in college: if you choose to drink, ALWAYS LOCK YOUR DOOR WHEN YOU PASS OUT. My roommate and I woke up one morning to find ourselves duct-taped to our beds.
 
i heard of this one:
go buy a bunch of old ladies underwear and a chocolate bar
rub the chocolate bar in the crotch of the underwear and write the name and room number of an unsuspecting person on each one and toss into the washroom/laundry room on every floor
they will be getting back the underwear for weeks.
 
If someone passes out, take off their clothes and put something sweet(peanut butter) underneath their "you know what" 😉 and let the dog lick the peanut butter off.... then take a picture 😀
 
We had standing rules amongst my friends. If you passed out in your room, you were off limits to being f*cked with. In a common area or someone else's room, you were fair game to whatever we decided to do.

In a townhouse I was living in, with 5 other guys and 2 guys that were always there we kept that same rule. One of the guys liked to drink vodka, ALOT of vodka. He'd get hammered and just passout in the chair. One night, we grew tired of him doing that, and taped his hands and feet together. Thought about going to the movie but decided not to because that would just be too mean. So we just left him there for an hour or so until he woke up by himself. The look on his face as he were all laughing our asses off at him was priceless. It took him a full minute to figure out why we were laughing.
 
Strange; my dad told me that the maturity level is considerably higher in college than that of high school. After 1 semester at college, I see a little difference, but not much. College pranks - never got the point of them. Amusing yourself at the direct expense of another person is just not a good thing to do, and it shows outright disrespect for others.

DUH!
 
You're supposed to enjoy yourself in college.

I'd say the most vivid memories people have are probably the ones most embarassing or awkward.

Maybe at the time, if I were the butt of a joke or prank I might have been upset but when you look back upon what happened several years later, you can appreciate and laugh it off.

I remember being upset at things done to me in college. But when one of my buddies brings it up now, I can clearly remember what happened and think its pretty funny.

Lighten up.
 
In the morning after a wild party, a friend 'super glued' a fellows butt cheeks together. Makes for a real mess when he wakes up and runs to the toilet. Surprised nobody mentioned smearing 'super glue' on the toilet seat. It's clear and is not usually noticable - at least until you try to get up!
 
Let's see, most of them have already been listed...

Penny Locking (the best, works flawlessly)

This one is easy and cheap to do. We used pennies because dorm dwellers are broke! Anyway, the easiest way to do it is to buy a claw hammer or a small prybar, either available at WalMart or whatever pretty cheap and extremely reuseable. Dorm room doors ALWAYS open into the room, or else people would hit them when running down the hall. Pry between the door and the doorjam close to where the doorknob latch enters the doorjamb. Get the biggest gap possible and shove a stack of pennies into the gap, filling it as tight as possible. What this does is place enough force against the doorknob latch inside of the doorjam that an EXTREMELY high amount of strength will be needed to turn the doorknob. I've never seen anyone able to do this. It is kind of hard to understand if you haven't done it before, so try this...go to your door and look at how it works. There is the male portion on the door and the female portion in the doorjam. Normally, the doorknob turns easily and the door opens. Now, pull hard on the door (or push, depending on which way it opens) and then turn the knob. It should be harder to turn because the force is causing the male part to be pushed up against the side of the female part with friction being the resistance. The hammer or prybar is also handy when YOU get pennylocked into your room. You can use it to remove the hinge pins on your door to get out. It's either that or tie your bedsheets together and climb out the window (that actually happened with one guy during finals week, but it was only from the 2nd floor).

red cool-aid in the shower head

Pretty self-explanatory, shower heads must be removeable. This is best done in dorms that have &quot;community bathrooms&quot; where the whole wing or floor shares one large bathroom. Unscrew the shower head, pour the cool-aid powder into the inside of the shower head, screw shower head back on.

Trashcan of piss leaned against unsuspecting resident's door

Self-explanatory, takes the cooperation of several friends and the unsuspecting resident must be highly disliked.

Pouring water under door THEN doing the talcum powder trick

Self-explanatory, water can easily be poured under the door using a trashcan or trashcans of water and the cover ripped off of a spiral notebook acting as a &quot;ramp&quot; for the water to run down.

Vaseline on doorknobs and toilet seats

Self-explanatory, use thin films in order to make it unnoticeable.

Saranwrap on the toilet bowl

Easy enough. Lighting must be just right. Also works good for people peeing. It will just run off onto the floor and possibly on their shoes.

Laundry detergent/dish soap/bubble bath in school fountain

Again, self-explanatory. Drawback to this one is the cost of the materials used.

Icy Hot in the crotch of someone's underwear (did this in Marine Corps bootcamp AFTER time spent in the dorms)

Self-explanatory. Helps if the victim lays out his clothes before going to the shower or whatever, or takes them into the bathroom with him.

Filled an ENTIRE dorm room (to the ceiling, via a removeable vent in the door) with balls of wadded up newspaper that was collected for recycling (requires an entire weekend)

This one is hard to do. Takes a lot of manpower and a lot of time. Victim needs to go home for the weekend or something along those lines. Materials must be gathered over a long period of time. The good thing about the materials that makes gathering easier is that these schools have daily university newspapers that are free for the taking and usually dropped off in stacks in each dorm and other buildings across campus.

Tie doorknobs together

Take a long rope and go down one side of the hall as far as the rope allows, tying all of the doorknobs together as tightly as possible. This will prevent them from being able to open the door and affects many more people than just pennylocking one door, but it is of course more noticeable to some &quot;good Samaritan&quot; walking down the hall. Sometimes, people can really screw up a good prank.

Other things not really considered pranks were things such as fruit from the cafeteria and waterballoons launched out of 3-man slingshots into parking lots, against the sides of buildings, etc., drawing on passed-out drunks with permanent markers, shaving cream, and toothpaste (this happened to me as well, so it's ok to do to others), shaking up and throwing 2-liter bottles of Sprite or any other favorite carbonated drink from a top floor window onto a sidewalk (sets of stairs are better because of the stair edges), and a few other things I'm sure we did that I can't recall right now.

Have fun and be safe.
 
Hey, this thread can't die now! After all the hard work I put into it...

Also, I can't be held liable for the above-mentioned procedures. Use at your own risk.
 
I can't believe this thread has lasted so long!

I've been wracking my brain trying to think of things I did in college and finally remembered another one.

When someone is using the urinals, give them a nice push!

Next thing they'll either be peeing on their shoes or slippers!
