On the first day of April, we celebrate April Fools’ Day. A holiday that is filled with silly little pranks that range from placing a whoopie cushion on a seat for someone to sit on, to something a little bit more extreme like placing a fake bug in someone’s water.
Some of you may become victims of these pranks from co-workers, friends, or family. You also could be the one who is devious enough to pull these pranks on those same people. It’s a holiday where you need to be more aware of your surroundings and keep an eye out for any potential pranksters.
We want to help the pranksters this year, but this could also help you prank victims who want to know what they should be watching out for.
With that said, we have created a list of twelve of the best April Fools’ pranks that you can pull or be aware of this April Fools’ Day. Check it out!
Place A Whoopee Cushion On A Seat
One of the oldest tricks in the book! It never gets old when you see someone sit down and all you hear is a large fart noise. This prank will live on until the end of time and the reaction is always a 10/10.
Print Out A Fake Outlet And Place It On A Wall
Just when your friend really needs to charge their phone, you can swoop in and prank them into thinking that they can plug in their charger into an outlet…only problem is it’s fake!
Simply find a picture of an outlet, size it to where it would be the size of a real outlet when you print it, print the outlet in color, cut the picture, tape it onto a wall, and then wait for the reaction.
Switch Keys On A Keyboard
If you’re at work and you want to prank your co-worker, this is a perfect prank to get under their skin.
Simply take a screwdriver, pry out some keys from the keyboard, and move those keys into different spots on the keyboard. Your co-worker is for sure going to get annoyed and confused when they’re trying to type out an email or a report.
Change Their Email Signature
Another great way to prank your co-worker is by sneaking onto their computer and changing their email signature. What once was a professional signature can be turned into something extremely silly just like that. The chances of your co-worker even picking up on this are going to be low. We hope they don’t send a very important email to a client or their boss with that signature on the bottom.
Place Googly Eyes Everywhere
Placing googly eyes on different items around your house or workplace sounds ridiculous. We promise you that it’s one of the funnier pranks to pull.
Just imagine gluing a pair of googly eyes on a jar in the workplace kitchen or your co-workers office work phone, it’s very silly but worth the reaction from whomever you prank.
Place A 'Please Honk' Note On A Car
If you want to prank your buddy or a family member, placing a small little note on the back of their car that instructs drivers to honk at them will certainly have that person come down with some road rage.
Something as simple as a sign stating, “honk at me, I’m being pranked” will get fellow drivers honking their horns. It’s a hilarious prank if you do it to the right person.
Place A Fake Bug On A Drink
In what is one of the cruelest pranks that will be on this list, placing a bug in your friend’s drink will have them scream at the top of their lungs! If you know someone who especially hates bugs, pulling this prank on them will 100% get you the loudest reaction you can receive.
There are a lot of different fake bugs you can buy online or at your local party store. Be prepared to be at the top of your friend’s hate list for the day.
Replace Deodorant With Cream Cheese
This has to be the grossest prank on this list. We know if anyone were to pull this prank on us, we are surely going to be planning our revenge plan almost immediately.
All you have to do is take all of the deodorant out, start scooping the cream cheese, and place it inside the deodorant stick. If you want to see a grown man freak out, then this prank is just cruel and disgusting enough to get that reaction. Be careful of putting deodorant on this April Fools’ Day.
Swap Shampoo With Glue
This may take the cake as the cruelest prank on this list. Imagine you are waking up and getting ready for work. You want to take a shower and when you start putting shampoo in your hair, you feel your hair all sticky. We don’t think there is a worse feeling than that.
Proceed with caution when pulling this prank. This one has the potential to ruin someone’s day before it even starts.
Spray Hairspray On A Toilet Paper Roll
The bathroom is a popular place where you can pull many pranks. It’s a danger zone on April Fools’ Day. Another bathroom prank that will get your victim annoyed is spraying hairspray on the toilet paper roll. This makes the toilet paper sticky and extremely difficult to unravel.
Going to the bathroom on April Fools’ Day sounds like there are real obstacles to overcome.
Tape Headshots Of Celebrities On Family Photos
If you want to prank your mother, this silly prank will confuse her initially, but then she will be rolling on the floor with laughter. Imagine how funny it would be to cut out a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio or Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and place their headshot on your father in a family photo.
Be sure to print multiple and place as many headshots on photos as possible.
Bring In A Box Of Donuts With A Surprise Inside
If you want to get everyone excited and either disappoint them or scare them, then this is a perfect prank to do so. You can go in whatever direction you would like for this prank. If you want to scare someone, then you can put a fake insect or mouse inside. If you want to disappoint them, you could put some vegetables inside the box. It’s whatever you want to do in this instance.
Either way, you will get some good reactions with this easy-to-do prank.
