Pranks Kids No Longer Do!

1. Playing dead is the worst prank ever.

2. Prank #7 draw a shape in the rival school's grass using fertilizer. Watch the greener grass show your own school's logo on the enemy school. My dad used to do this.

3. Prank #6 Get some friends to wear white long underwear, with aluminum foil helmets and antennas. Wait in a the woods by a quiet road. When a car comes, run across the street and hide in the woods. Wait for the report of martian sightings to appear in the newspaper. My dad did this as a kid in the 1950s during a big UFO craze.

4. Prank #5. While a car is slowing coming on a long street, pretend to lay out a line across the street. When the car is nearby, lean back and pretend to hold the line tight. Watch the car panic and hit the brakes. My dad did this as a kid.

5. Prank #4. stretch a string across a quiet street. Tie tin cans to each end. Wait for a car to snag the line on the bumper. My dad used to do this as a kid in the 1950s, until they caught a police car. Then they decided to do something else for a while.

6. Prank #3: use a safety pin to attach fishing line to a screen door. Pull the line tight and scrape it with a razor blade. The screen door acts like a loudspeaker, making ungodly screeching noises. When the owner opens the door, the line goes slack and becomes invisible.

7. Prank #2: Put uncooked spaghetti strands in someone's toothpaste. They go in just fine, but when the moisture softens them, they only come out in small bits. They also turn green from the coloring. This was done to me and it was so clever that I didn't even get mad.

8. Prank #1: take the hinges off the front door. When the person opens the latch, the door falls down. This was done to me. A variant is to tie the door handle to a rope tied to a weight hanging out the window. When opened, the door would fly across the room.

9. 0:57 I went TP-ing many times. Where I grew up, you only TeePeed people you liked, so it was a harmless little prank that proved you had friends.

10. I pranked my mom once with an open ketchup packet hidden on the inside of my left cheek. I made her so mad that when she slapped me the ketchup shot out of my mouth and onto her shirt. She thought it was real blood and flipped out for about a half-hour then when she washed it off, she realized it was ketchup. I got grounded for two weeks. One week for pissing her off and another week for the "evil" prank. 😆

11. Going to the internet to see if an urban legend is true may actually lead you farther down the rabbit hole, lol

12. I actually did put actual chalk in the eraser when I was in 12th Grade during the 2008-2009 school year! I also eavesdropped on phone calls too!

13. Me and my 6th grade friends used to prank calls and say the stupidest jokes like "this phone stinks, did you take a bath today?"

    In the early 90s I got an even stupider one from kid who said, "I have a booger in my underpants." Accompanied by a giggle. Toche.

14. I remember when someone removed roller balls from the mice. We'd have to hardboil an egg for the yolk to use in the ball's place. It was a real pain in the ass, and it always made people mad.

15. Lol…party line!

16. Then came *69, and hence went the fun of the crank calls. 😔
    😂

17. As a kid in the 80s. We used to make prank phone calls on a payphone. Toilet paper homes. Take people's trash cans and hide them in our neighborhood miss those days

18. A couple of funny jokes. One of my brothers “shortened” our Dad’s boots by about half a size by using aluminum foil, carefully packing it into the toe end and smoothing it out. He was sure to spit shine them and replace them exactly as set up for the morning. His feet didn’t feel right and he discovered why during breakfast on base where he was a DI. Nobody was willing to rat out Walter, so all but the two youngest got smoked for two hours doing exercises and chores around the house and yard before we were allowed to eat supper and go right to bed. We could tell, however, that he thought it was a clever and funny April Fool’s prank.
    Another prank involving shoes was on the younger of the two boys next door to us. The younger one was less than conscientious in his habits, always making the school bus just in the nick of time. He went to a school that had regulation hard leather soled shoes, and he’d run, tearing out around the cement sidewalk to appear to the driver at the last second. So his older brother got the idea to tape caps to the soles of his shoes. It actually worked. He took off to the bus in what sounded like half a round of gunfire!

19. The mean tricks we didn’t do. But truly funny pranks not overdone were okay. Disabling a phone was dangerous. What if there was an emergency? We did call our own number and quick hang up. The phone would ring once if you were quick. A favorite at camp and boarding school was short-sheeting or putting something in their sleeping bag. I got in trouble for putting a dried-out, shed snake skin under my tent mate’s pillow. She freaked out and imagined snakes everywhere. I had to be her personal servant for two days. The punishment backfired because she didn’t want me to be around her. The camp mistress ended up swapping us with other girls, none of whom were keen on having a new tent mate. In my case, it worked out okay because we all three got along just fine. The girl who got my former tent mate found her to be just as much of a stick in the mud as I did. Girls who have no sense of humor, no taste for adventure, and hate being outdoors shouldn’t go to camp. In retrospect, I could have tried to get her interested, encouraged her, and been friendlier, but I know a lot more at 63 than at 11!

20. We'd call the local pizza joint and place an order and have it delivered to the neighbor

21. This guy would have been the coolest friend of all time, never heard of a bunch of these pranks…how did i not think of the garbage cans…I'm doing it tomorrow…better hope I'm not your neighbor

22. Most of all cars today are metal not plastic.

23. The only prank that ever got pulled on me was pretty dirty from 2 of my friends who I wasn’t getting along with at the time. They threw sugar, syrup and eggs all over my car in high school. I was pissed it took hours to wash it off. So the following week my brother and my other friend and I went and got some rotten pumpkins from a pumpkin patch and we smeared pumpkin 🎃 guts all over the one girls rust bucket Ford Tempo as pay back. 😂😂😂😂😂

24. Yep! I’m pretty sure I did all these!! The funniest was the bag of dog crap on fire. lol. And down in Georgia it definitely wasn’t called ring ding dong or whatever you said. Can’t say what we called it but it definitely wasn’t politically correct. 😂

25. You never had a flat tires, wet willies are people turn the lights off in other people and bathrooms😢😮

26. I remember one time as a teenager, my friends and I tp'd a house using pink, blue and white paper. The house was near a billboard so we climbed the billboard and papered that too. We used a few 12 packs of paper that night.

27. Thank goodness we don't have much of these pranks anymore.

28. I was an old school kid but some of these are psychotic!😮

29. Ohhh the magazine sign-up!! I went to an all-girls' high school, but a lot of us had brothers, and in the comic books and gearhead magazines they had lots of "sign up of the military and get $$$ as your signing bonus!" We used to sign up poor unfortunates for those, complete with school, home address, and phone number, and sometimes those ROTC recruiters were very difficult to shake!! And, on the danger of getting caught — IT"S NOT TOO LATE!! In the heat of summer it was fun to "marshmallow" houses, cause that was super hard to clean up! About 15 years ago I went back to the old town for the death of someone's grandfather, and after a little polite chit-chat with grandma, she looked me straight in the eye and said, "I knew it was you girls leaving such a mess outside the house!" I wanted to sink under the carpeted funderal home floor!! The funny this was, for THAT family, it wasn's me!! But, I was guilty of it over and over again on other families lawns, so I meekly apologized. She told me she forgave us long ago, and I fled with a beet red face.

30. I still see tp'ed houses the day after mischief night. Not as many but still see some. Guess it's just a Jersey thing.

31. Wallet on pavement with string attached. Hide round the corner and watch random stranger stop to pick it up. Sharp tug on the string in the right moment gave them a terrible jump scare!

32. Putting perfume on a door knob.
