I’m not interested in “pranks” where someone is victimised, harmed, or upset.

Tell me the funniest harmless pranks where everyone involved can laugh and nobody feels bad.

    Heard of rather than seen it.

    My dad started a rumor that a coworker kept jello in her desk. Just mentioned it from time to time and let it be. Time goes by…

    One Monday morning he goes in early and reignites the rumor.

    When the coworker arrives there’s a crowd outside her office. She’s annoyed and throws open all her desk drawers to prove her innocence… and finds her file drawer full of lime jello, one unpeeled banana in the middle.

    If I recall right she laughed until she peed herself.

    The drawer was large enough it took my Dad most of Saturday to fill it. And most of the space in our fridge.

    Edit: There was also a time my dad and I rented a small trailer and took some stuff to the dump.

    I always loved this as we would look around and see if there was anything worth scavenging and bringing home.

    But no, nothing interesting.

    On the way home I turn to my Dad and say “Let’s tell mom and sis we found a moose head.”

    They believed us, we go out to the trailer and I’m opening it slowly to reveal that it’s empty… and a prior renter had spilled some red paint in the bottom.

    My sister screams “IT’S STILL BLEEDING” and runs inside.

    I could’ve never predicted it would go that well. I’d of course meant a mounted moose head. And this was in Florida, where I’m fairly sure there are no ‘fresh’ moose.
