April 1st, also known as Aprils Fools Day, is celebrated every year by playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes. The jokes and their victims are called April fools. People playing April Fool jokes expose their prank by shouting “April Fool”.
In honor of Aprils Fools Day, we’ve rounded up our favorite pranks… so you won’t be the only oblivious fool!
April Fool’s Day 2016 Pranks
The “Justin Bieber Is Calling” Prank
Freak out your kids or friends by downloading the Who’s Calling Fake Caller Free app. Set the “call” to happen in 30 seconds, then put your phone down on the table in clear sight of the person you wish to prank, when it rings, act too distracted to check who is calling and ask the pranked who it is. When they say “Justin Bieber?!” answer: “Oh yeah it’s probably about his upcoming Denver concert. He’s been begging me to come”. (Source: Buzzfeed).
The “Everybody Knows Your Name” Prank
Stick a note on the pranked’s car (without them knowing) asking people to call out their name and wave to them while they drive!
The “Dead Man Garbage” Prank
How fortunate that April Fool’s Day falls on a Friday this year and in many neighborhoods its trash pick-up day? Wrap your garage to make it look like it’s a body and leave it next to your trash cans or a public dumpster. Don’t forget to stick around and take photos of people approaching (just let them in on the prank before they call the police!) (Source: about entertainment).
The “Unexpected Poop” Prank
Take the inner roll of a toilet paper or kitchen towel, wet it with water and tear it into pieces. Mold it back together with your fist and leave it somewhere unexpected to be found. (Source: Bored Panda).
The “Peek-a-Boo Toilet” Prank
Take a photocopy of your face and tape it to a toilet rim. This surely will be a screamer! (Source: Buzzfeed).
The “Jell-O Worms” Prank
Tie a pack of straws together with a rubber band and fill it out Jell-O liquid. After the Jell-O hardens squeeze out the straws and you have some slimy and authentic looking worms!
The “Watch Your Step” Prank
Place a mirror on one of the steps of a staircase and witness how people watch their step!
The “Toilet Freak-Out” Prank
Draw a spider with a black Sharpie on a toilet roll then roll up the paper and wait for someone to freak-out when they need to wipe. (Source: Buzzfeed).
The “You’ve Been Poisoned” Prank
Write “you’ve been poisoned” inside of a mug with a Sharpie (let it dry!) and serve someone a dark colored drink (coffee or tea would work best).
The “I Like to Eat Urine” Prank
Grab an extra urine sample cup from your doctor’s office (or order some Amazon) and fill it yellow Jello-O or a yellow Kool-Aid. Bring it to work or school and in a nonchalant way take it out and eat/drink it in front of witnesses. If anyone gives you a weird look make sure you say “What? Do I care what you eat/drink”.
Happy April Fool’s Day 2016 from The Denver Ear!
