Cruel April Fools Pranks You can try on Everyone!

Oh April Fools Day, making a fool out of everyone without mercy. The best pranks are the ones that are swift and just, just kidding. The best pranks are always the ones that makes the fool out of everyone.

April Fool’s Day is the perfect opportunity to try out all those pranks you’ve been dying to pull on your friends, family, and coworkers—just without any of the guilt. Since it’s essentially a pranking holiday where everybody gets advance warning, no one can claim to be caught by surprise with your April Fool’s pranks. It’s April 1st, fool! Look at your darn calendar! If you’re not on high alert during this one day of the year, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

We’ve collected a few brilliant April Fool’s pranks that will end in laughter, without making anyone want to cut you out of their life.



1. "Please Honk"
Add a secret message to the bumper of your friend’s car, which reads: “PLEASE HONK. Driver doesn’t know. April Fool’s Day.” The trick will be getting the sign on the car without the driver noticing. This one works best with an accomplice, who can keep the victim distracted while he gets into the car, and you can affix the message on his bumper. (Make sure it’s something that can be easily removed so the joke doesn’t become a permanent part of his morning commute.)



2. Wrap everything with Stick-It notes.
Want to piss off your friends, family members or colleagues? Wrap their car or their favourite possessions with stick-it notes! Feel free to leave a message too. Probably best if you prepare to run fast just in case they try to chase you. Best, get your running gear ready.



3. "The Balloon Room"
It’s not that you’ve filled a co-worker’s office with balloons, it’s that you filled every available square inch with balloons, so it’s impossible to enter without popping them one by one. The exact amount of balloons depends on the size of their office, and the size of balloons you’re using. Luckily, we have the Internet, and there’s actually a Reddit thread devoted to figuring out the math of this topic, you can check it here. God I love the internet.



4. "Flipped Screen Headache"
It’s so easy, it’d be an April Fools’ crime not to use it on somebody. All you have to do is get access to their computer—wait until they’re at lunch or on a bathroom break—and hit Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow. It instantly flips everything on their PC screen so it’s upside down. (Don’t worry, it’s just as easy to reverse. Just hit Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow.) For a Mac, go to their System Preferences, open the Displays option and click on the “Rotate” menu.



5. Minty Fresh Oreos
Oh I love this one.
A classic prank, but one that typically never fails. Buy a pack of Oreos, remove the cream, replace it with white toothpaste, and reassemble. If anyone spots an already opened pack of Oreos, c’mon, who can possibly resist sneaking one? Unfortunately for this unassuming little thief, when they bite down into this treat, the new “mint” flavor they find couldn’t be described as “delicious.”

Bonus
Replace toilet paper......with sand paper. Enough said.
