Had a few friends staying over for the night, and at around 3 AM, everyone was up except for Dave, the fat guy. he's an incredibly sound sleeper, so we slid him under my coffee table, and all yelled at the same time.

He pops up, slams his head on the coffee table, funny as hell.

Wouldn't have done it is he hadn't been such a dick that night.

Shady06 and I got our roommate pretty good. One night, my roommate Efrem was on AIM, so I had a 3rd party start IM'ing him, pretending to know his name, his classes/major, what he was wearing, and what he was doing at that exact moment - basically stalking him. I was on my comp pretending to be studying with my headphones on, feeding her the info and telling her what he was doing at that very moment. Anyways he starts freaking out after I tell my friend to send a message in 15 seconds, to tell that guy (me) to stop looking out the window, b/c while I'm looking out the window over the hilly woods behind our place (Hitch Suites, UCLA), I'm blocking the view of my roommate who was still at his desk on AIM. So he freaks out and Shady06 walks into our room, my roommate tells him about the stalker, Shady06 figures out whats going on and plays along, telling him that he'd been hacked through his new USB sound card he had, and that the person was listening in on our conversations. So he yanked out all the cables and logged off for the night. That night when we stopped studying and went to sleep and the next day he was all paranoid about who was stalking him. We eventually told him a day or two later.

Remember that prank where some roomies build a false wall in front of the victim's door?

It looked real, they even hung some pictures on it, it was great.

I've got the vids on my comp, but the comp is at school, and I am home till jan 11.

Cheers,

My g/f told me Nair isn't potent enough to remove hair on someone's head. True or False?

false, some of the kids i coach use it to remove hair on their heads (their swimmers). Head has to be buzzed as low as it can go first.

I think he meant a full head of hair

Ok, so I tell my roomate I'm going to buy a few lottery tickets and tell him to spot me a few dollars so we can split it. At 11:00 pm they announce the lottery numbers and a few minutes later I purchase a lottery ticket with the exact same numbers. I get home, put it on the fridge and wait until the morning. The next day I ask him to check the numbers to see if we won anything. So he gets the newspaper, reads out the numbers while looking at the ticket and literally starts shaking in happiness. I played along with it for a little while and after giving him 5 minutes of pure fantasy, asked him to read the date on the ticket :D

hmmm my freshman year we did a few things.

we lived in a dorm that was 4 floors tall, with each floor being a set of 5 rooms and a bathroom. one night we went up to the 4th floor and tied all the doors to each other so none of them would open. i guess this was a pretty stupid idea (fire safety and whatnot), but it was awesome to see the whole net of rope crisscrossing the hall. we had a friend in one of the rooms, and he said he his roommate had a very classic WTF moment when he woke up and tried to leave.

shower pranks... also did the cold water bit which was pretty humorous. of course someone escalated it and it they ended up dumping a whole canister of kool aid mix on someone else. they retailiated by sneaking up and spraying shaving cream all over them. then everyone went crazy spraying shaving cream everywhere. it was all on the ceilings and stuff. good times, good times... :)

then there was that time 2 of them stole a parking meter and hit it in a secret compartment in the bathroom. that was crazy enough, but there was one other roommate that was bitter bc the other kept having sex while he was trying to sleep, so he ratted them out and they got in deep shiz. i guess thats not much of a practical joke though

one more thing, also freshman year. i set up my comp for remote desktop and cranked up the speakers before i left for the holidays (roommate still there). then in the middle of the night i logged in and started blasting my christmas music (dogs barking to jingle bells). wish i could have seen his face...

There was the one in the commercial... You have to have a sink that has an extender hose type deal on it. The kind where you turn the water in the tap on, and then you pull the trigger on the hose and the tap shuts off but the hose starts spraying. Aim the hose at the user of the sink, and tape its trigger down. Someone comes to turn on the tap and they get sprayed.

ExLax Brownies for someone who used to come into our room and just help himself to whatever fine food we had in sight.
It worked. Almost too good, I feel bad about it, but that was 14 years ago...

Mixed skittles and m&m's in a bowl.

Although this prank isnt as good as those aforementioned, it did yield an excellent, perhaps unrepeatable, facial expression.

Cling Film should always be in the bag of any practical joker:

1: Srew off the cap (which holds on the flip top) from the toothpaste, place a little peice of cling film over the edge, replace the screw cap. Squeeze...nothing coming out....squeeze.....nothing coming out.....squeeze, cling film breaks.

2: A large peice over the bowl of the toilet seat (under the top lid and the seat and it has to be very taught), hmmm......can you imagine 1'2 & 2's next??


PVA - the paper & wood glue

Put this thinly over a surface (other than wood or cotton) it acts like a vaneer which can be pulled off.
Put it on clothing (cotton) and wooden origin items then it sticks solid.

1: On Drawers
2: On Doors
3: Tissues (use it stick them together, bog roll is best)
4: Scratch a CD, then pull off the vaneer (requires scratching and application practice).

Monkey Muppet, I like the idea of putting cling wrap on the toilet. I usually just leave sh|ts in my friends toilets to piss them off, but I might try that now.

One practical joke that happened to me that was kinda funny was my roomate poured Clamato on me while I was taking a shower. It got everywhere. Even my hair and asscrack. It was disgusting and I smelled like tomato juice for a while.

Freshman year we moved a guy's entire dorm room, including him, his bed, minifridge, nightstand, basically everything not fixed to the floor, into the lobby of our building one night after he got back from a party and had passed out. We arranged it as indentical to his room as possible. He woke up the next day somewhat early and definitely confused since it was parents weekend and the lobby was crowded with chipper parents and various family types yapping amongst themselves.

Please step away from the computer and go out and have a beer.

BTW, in a dorm, its good find to send documents to other peoples printers. The "I know what you did last summer" always freaked out the girls.
