My mum's laptop wallpaper was a picture of her granddaughter. I copied the picture 100 times and made her wallpaper a slide show of the same picture over and over again, so the file would change but nothing would change visibly on the monitor. The pictures would change every 10 seconds. On one of the images I painted a tiny little curly moustache on her. So randomly for 10 seconds my niece would have a moustache. My mum thought she was either losing her mind or had a computer virus and everytime the moustache popped up, it was gone by the time she tried to show anyone.
To learn more about the wild world of pranks, we reached out to comedian, YouTuber and expert prankster Tom Mabe. Tom was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda, sharing that he got into pranking at a young age.
“When I was 8 years old, I built a man out of snow, standing tall in our front yard. I went to bed and woke up to find he was dead. Someone ran him down with their car,” Tom says.
After crying about the tragedy, Tom and his mother rebuilt the snowman. But soon after, they found that he had been run over again. “And right then and there, I knew just what I had to do,” the prankster said. “I had a perfect view from my bedroom of the wreck, the lights and sirens. Revenge is sweet because snowman number three was built on top of a fire hydrant. Bam. First prank ever.”

Two of my friends have never met each other. Before they spoke I told both of them that the other one was a bit deaf. They shouted at each other for a few minutes before they realized that I'm an a**hole.

My coworkers in the Chicago office asked me to bring back a phone book and the hotel stationary from my business trip to Kansas City. They were preparing for another coworker's bachelor party for the night before the wedding. The groom was known for drinking to an extent that was considered legendary. After a night of drinking, he woke up on the morning of his wedding in a hotel room. He checked the nightstand and found the Kansas City phone book. the desk was stocked with KC stationary. His friends had clued the front desk staff in on what was happening and convinced them to answer his room phone "Good Morning and welcome to the Kansas City Holiday Inn." It was 5 hours till the wedding, and he was actually only a couple miles from the venue, but the freakout was epic!
“I love pranking people who deserve it,” Tom shared. “Standing up for the little guy who's tired of being victimized by bullies: ‘Comic With A Cause.’”
The comedian also says that a great prank is one that has a purpose. “For the longest time, I only pranked people who deserved it,” he said. “And if I'm pranking just to be pranking, I try to make it fun-loving and not hurt anyone. I try not to make it mean-spirited, where we both have a good laugh.”

I was nine. My dad just had hernia surgery the day prior and was recuperating on the couch. Before I left for school, I put the Martha Stewart channel on and left the remote just beyond his reach. He spent eight hours learning how to arrange pillows on a bed.
He exacted his revenge fifteen years later. I’d just had my emergency c-section and he put Frozen on and left it on a loop while the entire family left for the mall and left the remote just out of my reach.
Revenge is indeed a dish best served cold.

One summer in college, I worked in the registrar's office, registering all the incoming freshmen. A prof who was a mentor to me was teaching freshmen seminar and asked me to hand pick a class for her. Straight A students, high SATs, whatever. So I did. 15 students, all named Sarah.
Tom also shared a few stories of some of the best pranks he’s pulled off in his time. “When a Telemarketer called me from a cable company, I convinced the guy that he had called a murder scene and that I was a homicide detective and he was our main suspect,” he told Bored Panda. “I kept him on the phone for several minutes and told him to stay put because his local police were on the way to his work to bring him in for questioning.”

People in school used to always take my Gatorade. So I took an empty bottle, filled it with dyed salt water, and let them take my drink. Not gonna lie, it was hilarious watching one person to spit salt water in the middle of class only for their unbelieving friend to do the same.

At my high school senior class picnic way back in the late 80's, I spread a rumor that the brownies I brought were pot brownies. Half a dozen kids went to the nurse because they were 'so stoned'.
On another occasion, Tom decided to teach a friend a lesson after he had gotten 5 DUIs. “Once, after passing out drunk, we transported him to a fake hospital room which was made to look just like a real hospital room,” he shared. “We had nurses, fake doctors and everything. When he woke up, we had told him that he had been in a coma for 10 years following a wreck he had while drunk driving.”

When my brother and I were in middle school, my brother liked to skateboard with our next-door neighbor. One day, my brother and the neighbor took the sheet of plywood from under my brother’s upper bunk bed (no one slept in the upper bunk) out of the house and started making a skateboard ramp out of it in the neighbor’s adjacent yard. My parents had explicitly told him that he wasn’t allowed to do that.
Now, in my defense, my brother teased me unmercifully (to the point of tears, on multiple occasions), so keep in mind that he had had it coming for a long time.
Anyway, an evil little plan hatched in my brain. I ran to the upstairs window and yelled down at them, “[brother’s name], guess what?!! Mom knows EVERYTHING and she is SOOO mad.” Then I slammed the window shut and ran to the stairs and waited while watching my mom read the newspaper.
A few moments later, my brother walks in the front door looking worried and says, “mom, I’m so sorry.” My mom (who had no idea what was going on) said, “about what?” While slowly putting the newspaper down. “For making a skateboard ramp out of the wood from the bunk bed.”
“YOU DID WHAT?!!”
At that moment, a wave of shock and realization swept across my brother’s face and our eyes met. I let out the biggest evilest little sister cackle and ran into my room.
We are adults now and still laugh about it from time-to-time.

I have an extra mouse in my desk drawer at work- I have the USB plugged in to the docking station of the obnoxious guy a couple cubes away. On days he is particularly obnoxious I will take out the extra mouse and move it around every few minutes... he has never realized because it’s plugged into the docking station and not his laptop. He has even had the laptop replaced. Never noticed... it brings me to tears silently laughing sometimes... I have to be careful not to over do it...
Another wholesome prank Tom pulled off involved two homeless men that were sitting outside of a fast food restaurant. “From my car, I called the burger joint and told them I was calling from the local law enforcement agency and that we had two undercover agents outside disguised as homeless people doing some undercover surveillance work,” he explained.
“I asked if they could possibly bring them some cheese burgers and coffee because they would be out there for a few hours. I told them I could send an officer over later to pay for the food but they were insistent to do it for free and were happy to help,” Tom continued.

I remember it like it was yesterday. At summer camp my cabin's leaders found a little snake that wasn't doing so well so they decided to put it in an old terrarium in our cabin. A few of the guys were nervous about it. So the next day when the leaders decided the snake was well enough to release, I asked that they keep quiet about releasing it. when the other guys got back to the cabin and found no snake in the terrarium, chaos ensued.

Absolute nightmare. Still get startled when I open a book or scroll down and even see a picture of a snake 😱😱
“I told the person on the phone to just lay the food next to them and not speak with them because we didn't want to blow their cover,” Tom continued. “Five minutes later, an employee of the restaurant brought them food and coffee. The homeless guys were very happy.”

Feel like this wasn’t so much evil but more karma. I went to school with this homophobic/islamophobic bible-basher type. Preached absolute hate at the age of 18. So in the last week of 6th Form I ordered a bumper sticker that was a big rainbow flag with the words “I’m so gay I can’t even drive straight!” and stuck it to his rear bumper. Found out from a friend of his that he drove around for 3 days with it on, including to a job interview, a youth group and his own church, where it was discovered by his Pastor...

Over a decade ago I worked in the warehouse of a Guitar Center. We dealt with inventory, shipping and receiving. We had a dumpster behind the store in a shared parking lot that people would leave random things in even though it was not a public dumpster. One day we found a a broken beach chair in an open cardboard box. The box had a shipping label on it. It was left in such a way that it was easy to assume that the chair/box combo was left by the same person. We packed the beach chair in another box and shipped it back to the customer. I wish I was there to see the persons face when they received their trash back via UPS.
We were also lucky enough to get in touch with artist, activist, educator, and notorious media prankster, Joey Skaggs. Pranking is a very different endeavor for Joey than it is for a lot of other people.
"As a kid, I pulled pranks on family and friends just for fun. But as I grew up, it became something else entirely – a way to challenge what I perceived to be status quo thinking that perpetuated prejudicial and small-minded ideas," he shared.
"At a very early age, I knew I was an artist. As a young man the 1960s, I was extremely distressed by social and political issues of inequality, racism, sexism, war, greed, environmental destruction, etc., and I felt compelled to speak up," Joey told Bored Panda. "Not willing to wait for the art establishment to catch up with me, I took to the streets."

I lived in Korea for a bit. When my mom came to visit I told my Korean girlfriend it was an American custom to greet older women by touching elbows. I told my mom the same story about Korean customs. It was a thing of beauty. They were not pleased.

Senior year of high school, my teacher had a record player in their room. At the end of the day, we had a two minute period of silent reflection. I asked if I could play a record during this time, and he said yes. I brought in a record by The Temptations, which he approved.
The bell rings. Everything is dead silent. I place my record on the plate and lower the needle gingerly.
Suddenly, a familiar drum fill is heard, followed by cheesy synth strings. The record that I placed on the turntable was, in fact, not by The Temptations---it was Never Going To Give You Up by Rick Astley.
Everyone in class began yelling, making a ruckus. I had just rickrolled my teacher with a vinyl record. He looked me dead and the eyes and said, "If someone ten years ago had told me that one of my students was going to rick roll me like that.....I would not have become a teacher".
"My first unsanctioned in-your-face multi-media performances put me at odds with the authorities but also landed me in the news," Joey shared. "Realizing the impact I could have, and the megaphone the media provided to me, I never looked back."
"Within a few years, I began to use the news media itself as my artistic medium, creating plausible but non-existent stories on a wide range of subjects, sometimes with an elaborate performance and sometimes with just an alias and a press release," the prankster continued. "Journalists from the world’s most prestigious news outlets fell for every single one of them. I made such good copy for them that it took a while for them to 'get' that it was me behind it all."

I used to work for a cruise line. A passenger asked if the crew lives on the ship full time. I and my co-worker explained that no, the crew leaves every night to fly back to Miami and then returns each morning. She walked away satisfied. After that cruise was over, our manager was sharing the passenger evaluations with us and was confused about one in particular. It was a woman who had stayed on deck 14 and had complained that she couldn’t sleep at night because of the noise of the crew helicopter.
Fact 1: 1,200 crew do not leave every night but do live on the ship
Fact 2: that ship didn’t even have a helipad
Question: wtf was she hearing every night.

I made a friend believe she was being followed by a garden gnome. For *years*. Many of her friends are involved plus other helpers. She shows up at a B&B in Scotland (that we'd recommended) and there was a gnome in the garden, and it looked *exactly* like the gnome that'd briefly turned up in her yard. Then she saw it on her way to work. Then in Provence. And Germany. It really did look like the same gnome. It was.
"Not surprisingly, the issues haven’t changed, and decades later, I’m still driven to speak up," Joey shared. "I love reaching someone in a way they haven’t been reached before. Turning on someone’s light, possibly exposing them to a prejudice or a bias and helping them question why they believe what they believe."
And as far as what makes a good prank, Joey says the best ones are smoke-and-mirror illusions that change peoples’ perceptions. "It is the manipulation of ideas and emotions in order to shift focus onto otherwise hidden agendas," he explained. "For me, it’s a provocative story with great visuals that’s outrageous but totally plausible. And the success comes from the surprise element when people realize they’ve been fooled."

Well, when I was 16 and my brothers were 12, one of the twins was eating all of the delicious Yogurt clusters out of my “women’s health cereal” like a monster.
So I decided to be a monster. I got my mom in on it and I told her how I needed more of my “women’s health cereal” for my female development and period support, with my brother next door. My mom explained what female hormones do and we went on our way.
Later I found, I legitimately terrified my brother. I caught him looking in the mirrors checking his chest. For almost a week he’d put things around his chest and I caught him googling estrogen effects. It was especially funny because he was starting puberty and his voice was cracking.
It went on for about a week before my mother made me tell him.

When a friends daughter was about 4, she needed to have a mole removed from the inside of her thigh. She was perfectly calm until she was on the table and the doctor reached for her leg. Then she started screaming "I don't want to be a boy! I don't want to be a boy!". Her older brothers (6&7) had told her the procedure was a bit different than mom had explained.....

I used to work at a science tutoring center when I was in college and my gap year before professional school. One of the things we taught very often was anatomy. So naturally we acquired a few skeletons and various skulls with some variation in how they looked or were marked etc. Well I was closing one night, and I knew my co-worker was opening the next morning early, so before I locked up I assorted ALL of the skeletons and skulls in a...welcome party near the front door. I had one *immediately* at the opening of the only door into the room with several back up skeletons and skulls just behind at a table together watching on. The best part was that you have to turn on the lights manually and that switch is immediately to the side of the door opening, so when she reached down to turn on the lights she had to come face to face with some lifeless skeleton skull in the middle of the shady opening. Needless to say she screamed, and it was loud enough to make our boss come to see if she was ok.
Woke up to some colorful texts lmao. Still proud of that one honestly.

One year my parents had a Halloween party and my mom ordered a 6 foot tall vampire with eyes that lit up red. I had the best time putting it in random places around the house so that it would scare the hell out of her when she found it. When they went out of town I put it in my dad's easy chair with the TV remote in its hand. :)
The expert prankster added that he's not in it for the money or to embarrass people. "I measure my success by the impact of the commentary I’m making. I not only strive for the initial media coverage, but I also seek the opportunity to reveal the truth, to explain my reason for doing it in the first place," Joey says. "I want people to question why they believed it and, if they believed this, what else do they believe that is totally ridiculous."
"Having said that, I don’t take money, and I try to stay out of the legal system," he added. "It’s hard to be effective when what you are doing is either a scam, illegal, or dangerous to other people."

A friend kept trying to steal my sushi off my plate at a sushi restaurant.
So while she wasn't looking I stuffed it full of wasabi, put a bit of fish back on top to cover my tracks, and pretended to not be looking when she started reaching towards it.
She tossed it into her mouth, started chewing down, and I just swung my head towards her to say "you f****d up"
5 minutes of coughing, muffled screaming, and copious amounts of water later, she had learnt her lesson.

There used to be signs up on the wasabi of Asian buffets "this is not guacamole!". Wonder how many times that has happened? 😅

I got a Harry Potter calligraphy set for my birthday years ago, it had Hogwarts marked paper, envelopes and everything.
My brother ate all of my birthday chocolates from an aunt that night so I plotted my revenge. Next September I copied out Harry's letter word for word in green ink, only changing the name.
I let him believe he was going to magic school for two whole weeks before I crushed it.
We were also curious if Joey was partial to any of his pranks. "Some of my performance pieces are quick and some take a couple of years to develop," he shared. "I confront issues that run the gamut from absurd to profound, and sometimes both. Some require just me, and some are done with scores of co-conspirators. But to me, all of my creations are like children. You don’t want to have a favorite."

I can meow just like a cat. In fact I can do it so well that people will often look around for the cat that is not there. This has resulted in several hilarious instances of strangers running around frantically looking for the cat and me sitting off to the side watching. Stray cats will usually stare at me for a couple seconds before continuing doing whatever. Pet cats will usually hold a conversation with me, particularly if they're chatty.

One night I replaced every framed object in my bosses office with a picture of me making a stern face. Posters, certificates, photos, etc. Took like 3 hours because he had like 30 framed things in his office. The next day I made sure I was out doing field work to make him sit with it most of the day. He had a lot of foot traffic to look at his office that day.
To learn even more about the art of pranking, we reached out to popular prankster Rahat Hossain, creator of Magic of Rahat on YouTube. Rahat shared that he first got into pranking by doing magic and illusions.
"At the time, I was a part-time walk around magician for a restaurant," he explained. "One night, I thought, 'How funny would it be if I showed someone a magic trick but in a pranking format?' I went through a fast food drive-thru and performed a magic trick to the employee at the window, and the reaction was one the best reactions I have ever gotten!"
"After that, I was hooked on pranking people with magic tricks. There are two things I love about pulling pranks: One is definitely that reaction. Everyone's reaction is different and unique! The other would be creating a memory," Rahat says.

Not sure if this will be seen, but my best new years was that of 1999, i was 9 years old at the time and i worked together with my dad to pull off the greatest prank in history. A few minutes before midnight i synced up a wrist watch with the countdown on tv. My dad pointed me in the direction of the breaker which was in our garage and showed me the lever to pull which would cut all power to the house. Now i dont know if you remember the hype but the year 2000 was supposed to destroy all of our computers and technology sending us back to the stone ages. So the moment grew closer as i watched the seconds tick by on my wrist watch, it soon became apparent that i wouldnt need it as i could hear all my relatives inside counting down 10, 9 , 8 ... 2, 1 ! i pulled the lever at the perfect timing and everything went black. The first thing i heard was from my aunt " OH MY GOD, IT HIT Y2K HIT!!" I was only going to leave the power out for 10 seconds or so but the lever was stuck and i couldnt get it back up for about 2 mins, during which the whole time i heard my family freaking out, then eventually they looked outside and started to wonder why our neighbors still had power, haha thinking back i really wish we would have recorded this probably could have won 10,000 dollars.
TL,DR pulled the greatest prank in history on new years eve 1999.

Gradually over the course of two weeks moved my coworker's monitors closer to the front edge of the desk. Like 1/4" per move. Until they were so close the keyboard barely fit.
"Stupid small desk," she grumbled, near the end.
I then moved them back, just as slowly, over a few weeks.
She never caught on.
When it comes to what makes a great prank, Rahat says having fun is the most important part. "You really want to do good clean pranks where it doesn't get the other person upset, hurt, or embarrassed," he noted.
Simplicity is also key, Rahat says. "Simple hits hard. I find that doing simple pranks can get you the most bang for your buck. You don't want pranks that are in poor taste or ruin the other person's day. Have fun with the prank, and if you execute it well, it's a story you can share with friends and have a good laugh over."

One that was played on me:
I took my SATs (college entrance exams, for those outside the US) on April 1st. (Should have known right? But apparently, I'm not that smart.) That night I went out with a group of friends, and when I got home my mom met me with a serious look on her face. She told me that the testing committee had called, that there had been an error and all test papers from that day were lost. Everyone was being contacted to schedule a date to retake the exam.
She totally sold it. Face, reactions, everything. I bought it hook, line, and sinker. And she let me believe it until lunchtime the next day. My mom is a diabolical person.

Working in a hot factory, supervisor and job planner in this enclosed cubicle with a window AC unit in the middle of the shop AKA nice 68* in there while we sweat our a*s off in 95-110*F heat. Kinda hot and pissy and always flies around i kept grabbin the flies alive, walking into the cubicle to ask a usually legit question or say im just coolin off and opening my hand behind my back. I put 14 of those f*****s in there in one shift. He never did catch on i was doing it and the planner was pissed swatting around there were so many flies in there. Supervisor was cleaning out every crevice thinking some food is supporting life now somewhere.

Tbh I'm more impressed with his ability to catch live flies with his bare hands than with the prank
Rahat told Bored Panda that his personal favorite prank would have to be the "Paranormal Activity Prank" he pulled on his roommate back in college. "I thought, 'How funny would it be to convince my roommate into thinking that our apartment is haunted?' Coming up with the ideas made me so excited to see how he would react. I ended up pulling the prank over a couple nights, and the reaction every night was better than the last. Definitely proud of how it ended up turning out!"

At my sisters swim meet, I found an ice machine tucked away in a garage looking thing. So I started collecting the ice and somehow managed to put ice in nearly everyone’s shoe at the meet. It was a wild beautiful moment of pure confusion and chaos. Everyone started freaking out and no one knew it was the little shy girl who secretly enjoyed turmoil:).

I was the same in school. Shy and quiet. I once shot an elastic band at the teacher writing on the blackboard and it hit the board right beside his head. The teacher kept us all in at recess and wouldn't let us out until whoever did it confessed. I admitted to doing it and the teacher said it was admirable that I wanted to confess so my classmates could go out to play but he didn't believe I did it so we all sat there that entire recess. It's the quiet ones you've got to watch out for hehe.

I farted under the covers then pointed at the ceiling above my gf and shouted "SPIDER!" So she'd throw the blankets over her head.
(Later when she told her parents, that turned out to be the thing that earned her dad's respect for me. Made him laugh so hard he needed an inhaler.)
UPDATE! She got her revenge.
Sitting on the toilet after a grumbly Stanley steamer.
I reach for the toilet paper to find one square peeled into two very thin squares.
No big deal, there's always a stash under the sink.
No.. there is not. Every roll has been taken out from under the sink.
Okay there's never not toilet paper under the sink. Coincidence?
I'll just send her a text to bring me some paper towels from the kitchen.
I refold the two thin squares into one equally useless square and reluctantly used it
Stanley and his grumbly steamer, in all their arrogance, respawns to remind me who really gets final say.
Back at square one with no squares to spare.
There it is written on the empty roll... the future toast I make, cutting into our wedding cake.
"Hands can be washed!".

Not so much evil, but one of my best pranks that was the most work for such a little reaction.
Was a lifeguard through high school. One of my coworkers ordered chinese food but it was her shift when her food came. I immediately got hold of her fortune cookie, carefully pulled out the fortune, printed off a replica with the exact size and logo on it and even had the numbers on the back. Carefully put the fortune in the cookie.
Then I got a plate for her, put the food on it (like the nice guy that I am) and made it look presentable.
There was a priceless look on her face as she read “Lifeguarding is not for you”.
What evil prank have you pulled off?

Okay one more! Another job I worked at (actually the one I left for in my previous comment) was in construction where we always had to wear a hard hat. One day at lunch somehow we get on the topic of Wonder Woman and our foreman goes on a little rant about how badass she is yada yada. I think he even said he's let Wonder Woman whip him with her whip. So we give him s**t about this for a long time. I come across a sticker book in the dollar store of Wonder Woman and they're all fairly small. Like the size of a nickel. I take them to work and slowly start to stick them to the foreman's hard hat ( most hard hats already have stickers on them and his had quite a few) I bet I put at least 25 on there and he never noticed so I started to put them on other things of his. I went through half that book before he finally noticed!! Later that week he came to work with a brand spanking new hard hat on! Funny thing is, is that I am now married to this guy and continue to prank him and will forever

I had put in my two weeks notice but the manager had been out sick with Covid for over a month so she had no idea I was even leaving. On my last day I printed out 50 tiny selfies and hid them everywhere I possibly could in her office. By the time I was done I had 3 other coworkers helping me because they wanted to be in on it. I was gone for almost a month before I got my first text from her. She thought it was hilarious. I told her I wanted her to remember me long after I had left. It's been almost 2 years and she's only found 47 of them lol. I love seeing her name pop up in my messages saying found another one!! 10/10 would absolutely do this to someone I love working with again!

Back in the early 1980's a coworker told me of a neighbor who was meticulous about tracking his gasoline consumption during one of the gasoline shortages, when it got very expensive. He bragged to everyone who would listen about how good his mileage was. He didn't know that his neighbors were taking turns going to his house after dark every night or two and adding gas to his tank.
