April Fool's! What's been the most creative/memorable prank you've pulled?

The thread prank.
You wear a top of one colour and then have a spool of thread in your pocket of another colour, just to make the lose thread more obvious. You thread a needle and push it through the shoulder of your top and then leave about an inch of the thread hanging out, removing the needle, so that, when your victim sees the thread, they'll try to help you out by pulling it but, the more they pull it, the more that it comes loose and they start to freak out that they're ruining whatever it is that you're wearing by pulling this much thread. In reality, the spool of thread is in your pocket and all they're doing it unraveling it. Of course, you make a big deal of it, too as if they ARE ruining your top!
Doughnut seeds.
Get yourself a regular envelope and write on the front of it in bold letters, "Doughnut seeds". Ask your target if they've ever seen doughnut seeds. Of course, they haven't so, you let them look in the envelope and they find, inside, a few bits of Cheerios and/or Froot Loops!
Rattlesnake eggs
Get another envelope and write, "Rattlesnake eggs" on it. Before you show them to someone, you need a paper clip, two small gum bands and a washer about the size of a quarter. Open up the paper clip into the shape of a large letter U with at least an inch or so across the bottom of the U. Loop a gum band through the washer so both ends of the band are on one of the uprights of the U and bend the top of that upright in half to hold the gum band in place. Do the same with the other band on the other upright of the U so the washer is suspended between the uprights by only the gum bands and does NOT come in contact with the clip. Flip the washer over, end over end, a dozen or so times so the gum bands are pretty tight and hold the washer and the bottom of the clip so they don't get loose and then put the whole thing down into the corner of the envelope with the open end of the U facing the top. The trap is set. Close the envelope flap and ask a victim if they'd like to look at the rattlesnake eggs but tell them they have to be careful not to crush them. When they open the envelope, the washer unwinds itself rapidly making a rattling sound and might cause the victim to make a puddle!

I had a friend that was the manager at a pretty big restaurant. I called the place and disguised my voice. I told him I was Colonel Jackson from the Army National Guard and I told him the Guard was having training exercises on Saturday and wanted to purchase 350 steak dinners for the troops and we would be eating in the parking lot.. My friend really fell for it. I kept going and tried to negotiate a better price and wanted special consideration because we would only have on hour to eat. I wanted the parking lot to be empty so we could set up tables and chairs. He was really funny going over everything he would do to accommodate the troops/. When I started to talk about bathroom facilities he started to get suspicious but he still said that they would put two porta potties in the parking lot.

Then I told him who it really was. He really thought it was funny after a while.

Okay, so picture this: I’m at my cousin’s house, and I’m feeling extra sneaky. We were all hanging out, and I decided it was time to pull the ultimate prank. I grabbed a bottle of clear nail polish and carefully painted the top of their shampoo bottles, just enough so it looked like the shampoo was still full, but when they tried to use it… NOTHING. They kept pumping and pumping, getting all frustrated like, "Why is this thing broken?" and I just sat there acting totally innocent.

One of my cousins started shaking the bottle like it was possessed, trying to figure out what was going on, while I was dying inside. I don’t even think they realized until like 20 minutes later, when someone noticed the tiny layer of nail polish on the top. It was SO simple, but the look on their faces was priceless. Total chaos for like, an hour. They never trusted their shampoo bottles again! 😂

Definitely one of my funniest moments with my cousins. Only child problems, right? Had to get my prank fix somehow!.

Faked an ant farm "escape" at school. (FYI, there was no ant farm... I just set the open plastic case on the floor and looked surprised). My teacher was terrified of the little critters so she jumped up on her desk... Spent the best afternoon outside the principal's office for that one...

Or the time I replaced sculpting slip with chocolate pudding in art class and a bunch of us scared our prof by "eating slip". My gosh... his face...

One of the most creative pranks I've pulled was during a friend's art exhibition. We swapped one of his paintings with a convincing replica, but I added a quirky detail, like a little cartoon character peeking out. We watched guests double-take and try to figure out what was different. My friend was in on it, and we revealed the prank by the end of the night with lots of laughter! 🎨😂

Pretending I lost my arm on my neighbor's snowblower. He went in. I went to my house to get red food dye, squirted the snow and pulled my arm in jacket and laid down in front of his running snowblower.

He still hasn't forgiven me me but swore vengeance!

When I told my high school student history teacher my counselor was switching me out of her class, and both SHE and the regular teacher totally bought it, and were so confused.

Another one when I worked at the state park. We had to sign off every night over the radio and both the rangers and dispatch could hear us. I played an Indian girl's voice, and then said, "Bye, happy April Fools." And went to shut off the radio. And I was like, "If I get in trouble, I'll get in trouble, but I'll deal with it later."

As it was powering off, one of the female rangers comes on and goes, "That was a good one." I was lucky she had a sense of humor.

loll, I pulled a prank once with my friend where we made coffee mixed with salt nd gave it to our best friend. She was like, "Aww, you two love me so much!" But after her first sip, she instantly ran to us to beat us, and we ended up running around the entire university 4 times to escape! It was hilarious...

My high school had a senior prank every year, done by the senior class. Overnight, my class filled the teacher's lounge with balloons, so that the entire floor of the room was covered. The teachers found it "interesting" and had fun popping all the balloons.

Next year's class tried to go one better, and did the same prank, but with water balloons. Thst didn't go over well, with all the water damage to the room, and the classroom below it, when the balloons popped.

Convincing a coworker I liked in the trunk of a '91 Mercury Grand Marquis. The trunk was so big that I asked them to pick me up at what was down the block from where my parents house was at the time. It was next to a dirt road.

I asked if he could pick me up because my car ran out of gas. He pulls to the end of this dirt road sees the car and I opened up the trunk in a suit and jumped out the back.

He was speechless. I got in his car thanked him and told him to keep this between us.

So two things happened. One we didn't talk in the car ride to work and two he didn't keep it to himself which was hilarious when I finally told him it was a prank

I one time (probably like 5 or 6 years ago) changed my birthday to April 1st on social media and I had ton of my "friends" wish me a Happy Birthday. It was pretty funny to me. A few people caught on and I made posts near the end of the day admitting it was just an April Fools day joke. End of the day, the joke was on me because they wouldn't let me change my birthday back right away. I had a waiting period of a couple months or so before I could fix it

my young son and I decided to copy the lemon sponge cake trick from mama’s family on the April fools episode.

we had a lemon on top of dish sponges under a cover and we led her in there and told her we made lemon sponge cake and when we took the cover off she laughed like crazy. Glad she took it well lol.

Last year my boyfriend blindfolded me and tied me up. He left the room and came back not saying a word, then penetrated me and started thrusting hard. I panicked because it clearly wasn't his dick because it was twice as big. He stopped, untied me and took the blindfold off to show me it was just a penis extender sleave he had slipped on and we continued have great sex with it.

I did a prank break-up on a boyfriend on April 1st decades ago.  Of course, I didn't make it last a while.  He was so relieved when I told him I was just kidding.

My friend was lifting me over his head and I announced to him that I'm no longer asexual and I'm no longer a virgin + I have a boyfriend lol

He had no clue and thought that it's real, he was shocked for a while until he realised it's the 1st of April haha

I do not pull pranks. And one of the surest ways to piss me off, often permanently, is to pull a prank on me. My wife did one shortly after we were married. I told her that if she ever did it again, that would be it and there'd be no chance of reconciliation as I'd initiate a divorce. She never pranked me since.

I want to tell you about one I fell for ,
So, when I was still in high school, I had a subscription to a magazine called road and track. I read an article about a new model jaguar xke, they gave it a straight 12 cylinder engine, which made the hood ridiculously long. I even saved the magazine for many years. The summer after I saw the article , I saw one , in Anchorage, AK. It looked good in real life too. Or so I thought. fast forward to 5 years ago, my then room mate and I were drinking beer and talking about cars.. I related the one I'd read about , to which my friend called BS. He'd worked for jag, and was certain that jag had never made any such thing. Later Iwas o m the internet trying to find proof, and I found it, proof I meant, that my buddy was right, somehow I missed the next months edition where they admitted it was an April fools joke.
