Best College Pranks

[PCAddict]

When I was in college, we did alot of what has already been covered here. Pennying people in, talcum powder under the door, changing answering machine messages, etc.

Ahh, the memories.

We hid a tape recorder in one guys room and taped him banging his girlfriend. Then we took part of what was taped and made it his outgoing message on his answering machine, complete with moans, screams, grunts, and the squishing sounds of intercourse. Needless to say, his girlfriend was pissed. His parents did not take it well either.

we did the penny thing as well..

me and my friends were chronic insomniacs, so we were up all the time until 6am or something...

we took newspapers, unfolded them and taped them together to make huge sheets of paper. then we would tape them over the open side of an elevator, only when the door closes, the newspaper sheets are still in one piece. the newspaper sheet was taped to the elevator inside, so when the elevator moved, the newspaper went along w/it. get it? (kinda hard to explain).

anyways, when the elevator doors opened, there would be a huge sheet of newspaper over the front of it, so you couldn't see what was behind it.

me and my friends put tables laid on their sides -- those LONG tables, and we laid them so when you walked into the newspapers, you'd run smack into the table top.

needless to say, we heard a lot of 'oomph' sounds from people thinking that it was just a piece of newspaper and running through it, only to run into these huge tables.

ahahahahaha

I can't believe that no-one has said this yet. Dorm networks offer excellent opportunity for pranks. For example, there are two people, just on my floor that have their entire C:\ drive shared with full read/write permissions. There are also a number of people sharing printers. Fun things to do are leave messages on people who share their entire HDD or printing 100+ blanks pages through a shared printer. (Or, if you're less benign, you can always send a porn picture to someone's shared printer.)

We never did this one but I saw of picture of this done to someone.

These guys stapled together dixie cups, a whole bunch of them, and placed them on some guy's floor. They then filled up all the cups with water or something. There was no way to move those cups without having a flood on their carpet. It was pretty funny.

I still think the best pranks are the ones done by the engineering dept. at UBC.

I don't really know of any of their recent pranks (other than hanging VW bugs off of the Vancouver Public Library, and off of bridges, etc.), but some of the older ones were pretty damn good too.

On the Sea-Wall in Vancouver, there is a cannon that is fired off every night at 9:00pm. Thus, it is called the 9:00 gun. They stole it. After being threatened by the law, they brought it back during a public festival of some kind. Instead of placing it in its normal spot, they threw it into the water.


Course, this was just a wooded mockup, the real one was brought back the next day - and now rests inside a locked cage.

I'm fairly vague on the next one, and only remember it because my cousin was in charge of the prank commitee that year. For some reason or another, the UBC engineers were in Seattle. There was to be a speach by someone quite high up on the prestigous ladder. They stole the speaker's chair (big, royal-looking thing). That alone isn't too funny, but the scene made all of the Seattle and Vancouver TV News Broadcasts - as well as almost landing all affiliated parties in jail.

we had the oldest elevators in my dorm... they had two sets of doors to open and both were slow as heck.

so what we would push the button for the elevator to stop on our floor. then when no one got on the elevator the doors would start to close. we had people hiding on the sides of the elevator out of view, so they would spring out and hold the outside doors just as the inside doors closed. then we would let go and the doors would open again.

this is most effective around 2am when people are straggling in drunk from frat parties. we would hold the elevators, move the furniture that was sitting in front of the elevators, and then open the doors. people thought that they were on another floor and straggled out.

 

[MISTER 2 U]

ahh lets see
saran wrap over the tolite bowl is a good one .

I went on a road trip once there was two cars in the group mine and another.
while driving on the highway I turned on my blinker and flashed my lignts letting the car in front of us
know that I was going to take the next exit,he took the exit and I beeped my horn and went bye the exit.
The funny thing was as we were dring on the highway and he was going down the exit ramp all you could see was his arm with his middle finger.

 

[jimmyle]

wait...i'm really confused...how do u penny the door??...please explain

 

[HellSpam]

Thanks for all the great pranks guys... laughed my head off on some of them. I got a 4 day trip coming up (last trip in high school). Gonna try some of them for a good laugh with some buddies... If anyone wants to help, maybe you can write some easy-to-do pranks. A prank like breaking the lightbulb and putting a firecracker would be an easy and nice one....

 

[thraashman]

perry you go to Ga Tech right. what dorm did this war take place in?

 

[EmperorNero]

that prank about drinking piss is disgusting. :disgust:

my school district needed more money so they made a levy. a lot of people would hang these signs up that says "Vote YES on issue 18" while barely anyone posted a sign that says vote no because they were all afraid of what happened to this one guy who lived right across the street from one of the schools. he had a "vote no" sign on his front lawn. during the first night, it was stolen. so he posted another sign, stolen again. then fed up with it, he posted another sign and tied a dead skunk to it. the following day, he found his sign gone only to realize 52 "yes" signs were in its place.

 

[Fandu]

OK, I've heard of this one being done, hoping to try it sometime. You chem majors would be good with this one. As I understand it, Ammonium TriIode is a powder which can easily be make with some basic lab chemicals. It also happens to be very light, in both weight and color. People do the folder under the door thing and coat peoples rooms with the mostly transparent powder. The funny part is that Ammonium TriIode is mildly explosive when pressure is applied to it. Try walking across the floor and your footsteps literally explode underneath you. Not too powerful, but enough to numb a foot after 2 steps. It's also very hard to remove, and peoples walls and furniture are exploding for weeks!

OK, Also at the U of Lethbridge, the dorm room floors are about an inch lower that the floor in the halls.... Middle of the night take a garbage can full of water and start pouring. In the morning the person wakes up to their entire room flooded.

^ nooooo, this is one of the coolest thread...I won't let it share the same fate as the others

and just in case this thread gets out of hand and the mods have to lock or delete, I suggest you guys click the text version of this thread and save the prank suggestions so you can try it on other people.

 

[sandorski]

Yech, this is some pretty sick stuff!

The best prank I've heard of and one that doesn't involve terrorizing another person is done annually by the Engineering students at UBC(University of British Columbia).

Every year, a VW Bug mysteriously appears somewhere. Sometimes it's on top of a building, other times hanging off of something. Whenever it happens it's a major news event and a puzzle as to how they could of put the car there, and how did they not get caught. It's fun for everyone and everyone in Vancouver gets something to ponder about for a few days.

put clear jello in a toilet.....let sit over night and wait for someone to use it

 

[Doggiedog]

That's a good one AudiPorsche. I never thought of that! Haha!

jimmyle, pennying someone in is just a term. You don't need to just use pennies. You can use nickels and dimes, whatever. Most doors open inward. What you want to try and do is have so much pressure on the door lock that it won't turn. Imagine the dead bolt of the door being pressed so hard against the inside where it is located that you can't turn the lock. That is what you do when you penny someone in. So you get a bunch of guys and push against the door as hard as you can. While they are pressing, someone starts stacking coins in the gap that is created when the door is pushed. Make sure the coins are stuck in there tight.

If you do it right, the guy inside cannot get out. They would need to call someone and have them remove the coins from the outside.

 

[etech]

Pennying the door does work, we had a guy pennyed in who finally had to break the air vent out of the door to get out of his room. We sorta forgot we had him in there and went drinking.

The firecracker in the light bulb makes me very nervous. It sounds dangerous to me. The exploding glass could do some serious damage.

Have fun, but don't hurt anyone or damage anything that you wouldn't want to pay for.

 

[LordMaul]

OMG.....ROTFLMAO....

 

[slpaulson]

Some kids put a car on our high school roof as the senior prank.

 

[urbantechie]

I don't get it? Why do you have to push on the door? Can't you just close it and put pennies where the hinges are?

[Weyoun]

A friend of mine told me this prank, I've never actually done it, but I've heard of stories where men have been nearly paralysed from this

Anyway, here in aus we have this thing called Deep Heat, it's a kind of paste that you rub into sore muscles or something, so I don't know the american equivalent, sorry guys Anyway, get some cling wrap over your hand and put some of this stuff on there. Trust me you'll want cling wrap because of the stench this stuff causes. Rub a VERY light coating on a guy's underwear/boxers near his balls, so that it's not visible. Now, watch as the person is put through utter agony, their balls literally frying from the Deep Heat the next time they put on their loaded jocks I dont know how long this stuff lasts before the effect dissipates, but try to put it on a pair that will be worn soon, like just after they have been washed and they're the only ones they have

Good luck, and keep the stories coming

 

[thraashman]

that's funny. I lived in freeman winter, spring of 99. I got told stories about the war that took place there 2 years prior by a guy I played hockey with. he lived on the first floor, but knew what was going on. I'm glad I wasn't there then.

 

[Kayes]

I did something like Weyoun said with a couple of friends.
We grabbed a friend of mine called Ben and emptied an entire tube into his pants then spread him and another person spread the cream with his legs.

Poor Ben spent some time in the shower yelling while trying to wash it off.

 

[perry]

Heheh.. Yup, it was a real war. After the first quarter we had done something like $1400 of damage to the dorm. Who knows how much at the end of year.

There's lots of stuff I left out, but you probably heard those stories...
