What are the best pranks that you've ever seen done or even done yourself? I'm looking for anything from the mundane, to the overly complicated, anything from the prank you saw some kid in kindergarten pull on the teacher, to how Bill finally made his boss really regret making all those jokes about his tie. My protagonist and another character are literally having a prank off, so I'm looking for lots of innovative stuff, but my imagination has just imploded it in regards to something that's both clever and realistic.
Thanks in advance! :)
(It doesn't matter whether it's in school, the workplace or wherever else some mischief could take place.)

These are mostly school pranks, a lot of which I saw in a prank thread we had hanging around last year, but here goes...
Let loose three goats, pigs, what-have-you in the school, spray painted as goat #1, goat #2, and goat#4. The bigger the school, the better.
Set a zillion alarm clocks so that one goes off every five minutes and hide them out of sight EVERYWHERE.
Gather lawn signs of all sorts and sizes and stick them in the victim's lawn.
Fill a car with toilet paper, move it to the other side of the parking lot, move it into the middle of an unfrequented road, park cars so close to it that the victim can't get in it, move it sideways in the parking spot with cars on either side so he can't get out of the parking spot, etc....and when you're done put a sticky note on the window saying something like, "Don't leave your car keys lying around."

This hasn't happend to me (thank heavens), but my friend told me this story that his dad did in high school. His dad and his buddies picked up someone's Old VW Beetle and put it in front of the main doors to the school. Easy enough to do with small car (think old Beetle, Subaru Justy, stuff like that), or anything that's a manual that can be gotten into, just put it in Neutral and push it.

One April Fool's day my brothers exchanged the salt and sugar. My father got up and put sugar on his egg and salt in his coffee.

Put fresh manure in a lunch size bag, douse it with something flammable and set it on fire on a doorstep. Ring the doorbell. (Run) Do it late at nigtht and the person might be wearing only slippers as they stomp out the mess..

There was a period in the fifth grade where I would pull a different prank almost everyday. Some of the more memorable ones were:
Take the cereal bags out of their boxes and switch them all into different boxes.
Freeze someone's toothbrush into an ice cube.
This was more mean than funny, but screw up the huge mirol on the wall.
Flood the sinks.
Put brown paint in someone's clean under wear.
Put ceram wrap over the towlet bowl. You can imagine the results.
Put a condom in someone's locker or binder or drwer or somewhere else that would be findable.

One april fools day my friend and I snuck into these guys apartment and did every prank we could think of. We greased their doorknobs, switched their tootpaste with KY Jelly, put toothpaste on the toilet seat (thin, so you couldn't see it), hid all of their toilet paper except two sheets that we put each of their names on, and we switched their captain crunch cereal bag with a bag of all-bran. For some reason that last one really cracked us up.
I saw these on a website:
get a bazillion sticky notes and label everything in the person's house
rearrange all the furniture while someone is out.
Take all of their photos out of the frames and replace them with generic looking photos, like the ones that come with the frames
switch their cats (ie- take their cat and replace it with someone they don't know's cat)

I'm pretty sure brainofbrian.com had some lists of "Things Never to do in..." and they had some pretty cool pranks.
My cousin did the whole 1, 2, 4 as a senior prank, except he used CHICKENS. Unspraypainted.
Another prank? Switch out water in water bottles/water coolers/those BIG Poland Spring things in office's with vodka.

I remember hearing this on the radio recently. At the office, someone took their coffee break, and when they came back, the entrance to their cubicle was sealed off with plastic wrap, and the cubicle in question was filled to the brim with those little balls you use for bean bags.
There was also someone who taped everything everything down on a co-workers desk while they were on leave, but when she came back she pulled the shits and they got in trouble.
hope it helps

I remember hearing this on the radio. These people went into this guys house while he was on vacation, and tinfoiled his entire house. They actually took all the toilet paper off the roll, wrapped it in tinfoil, and rolled it back up again. When the guy came home the whole house was silver.
I've always wanted to do that one. :)

A few of us from my dorm actually carried a buddies Honda Civic inside the dorm lobby.
We had to carry it back out, but the look on his face when he realized his car wasn't where he left it, and the second expression when he saw where we left it was way beyond priceless.

I just wrote a fake (TOTAL BS) article and I printed out a copy of a NY Times article, matched the format of the NY TImes artical, printed out my own article, taped it to the NYT artic;e and photocopied it so it looked real. Then I showed it to a student teacher, and he thought it ws real. It was really ridiculous.

I heard about some college students who got bored one night, went to a construction site on campus, borrowed some bricks and mortar, and bricked up the doorway to one of the dorm rooms - with the occupant sleeping away inside. It's possible to achieve a similar effect with a few drops of super glue between the door and the door jam - but it denies the occupant that moment of sheer wonder when they open their door - and come face to face with a brick wall. I give it a 9.5.
A friend of mine waited until his roommate had been asleep for a couple hours, went in to their room and set all their clocks ahead to 8:00 am, took a quick shower, and went back to his room, turned on the lights, and acted like he was getting ready for breakfast. When his roommate rolled over to see what was going on, he said, "Hey, I thought you had a big test at eight?". With an immense display of self control, he kept a straight face while his roommate threw on some clothes and dashed out of the dorm.
Our office jokester had to come in one night for an early morning software install. He got bored waiting for other components of the install to take place before he could do his part, so he rigged various 'surprises' for some of the cubicles around his. Mine was one of them. The next morning, after I got my computer and phone working again, and removed all the trash from my bookshelf, I scouted around for other victims. I checked with them, and sure enough, our prankster was up most of the night, so he wasn't back to work yet. With the help of a few others, I used old computer printouts, printed on continuous fold paper, to tape up a paper 'ceiling' over his cubicle. Then we took all the shredded paper out of the shredder bin, (in our office, it was multiple cubic feet of paper strips), and tossed it into the middle of the paper ceiling. We didn't do anything else to his cubicle, but there was no way to get the shredded paper off without everything collapsing. In effect, we filled his cubicle with waste paper - with the added benefit that he was the one who actually released it all into his work space.
There are always the classics:
Fill a large waste can with water, and leave it leaning against a door so when someone unwittingly opens the door... Frankly, this is just evil, and anyone who does it better never sleep, ever again...
Fill a large envelope with shaving cream, stick the open end under a door, and drop some large books on it. Blows shaving cream all over the room. Bonus points if he/she is sleeping in the room at the time. Double bonus points if he/she isn't sleeping alone (but again - you must never, ever fall asleep afterwards.)
Apparently there are dorms where the dorm room doors open out, so the hinge pins are outside the room, and if you are very careful, you can remove the pins without making a lot of noise - unlike what happens the next time someone opens that door.

First off, don't think I'm sick or cruel for having thought of/remembering these. Well, okay, on with the show!
-- This one was actually an East Noble speciality (my high school). Let me do a little background first- my school is actually pretty nice, there's some nice construction elements in it- and we have actual suits of armor in the library and in the lobby of our theatre. All I can say as a reason for suits of armor is that the mascot's the Marching Knight. Also important to mention is that although the building's nice, 60-80% of the school population is made up of miscreants- i.e, hillbillies and potheads. And it's in rural Indiana. You wanna know what happens to a high school that has suits of armor positioned around the school, and teenagers who actually live on farms get bored near the end of the school year?
My step-father's best friend and some of his buddies engineered a prank on the shcool that is, to this day, still unmatched. I don't know where they got the small farm animals, how many guys they brought to do it, or how they got in the building at least an hour before the beginning of school, but they released many small farm animals (small pigs, chickens, I believe a goat or three) all over the school. The staff spent the whole morning trying to gather all of the animals up, trying to get the school to work as it should during a school day, that it was not realized that the two suits of armor- yes, even the one that was laying on top of a fake metal horse in the lobby- was missing. If I remember right, announcements came on immediatally following the discovery, telling students to tell a member of the faculty if they managed to find the suits of armor. Of course, the armor was in the school still- only put in really weird places that nobody usually goes near. Genius, I'd say!
-- Here's a particularily horrible prank (it's not my idea- I read it in a George Carlin book) to pull on people in a packed theatre. If you have a little cousin of any gender or neice/nephew, promise the kid some candy if they'd fake yell, "Mommy, Uncle Herman is touching me there again!" into a series of tape recorders. Depending on how many rooms are in the one you go to, copy accordingly to how any you will need (one or two per room). Next, (and here's where I get lost and confused) find a way to get a timer to get the recording to go off at top volume level at a specific time during the movie- usually near the middle or the end, since that is when the most people remain in their seats- and duct tape the recorders to specific parts of the theatre seats where nobody will immediatally look. I guarantee you mass confusion and a stop in the movie- but I can't guarantee that you won't get arrested if anybody finds out it was you!
-- Two words, endless possibilities to P.O a best friend or foe- plastic wrap. Plastic wrap EVERYTHING in said person's existence- doorways, toilets, beds, windows, floors- and watch the fun.
-- Here's a classic I once saw on "Girls Behaving Badly". If you're a girl, find that padded thing that goes under clothes to simulate looking pregnant, and find a place in a local bar where you can drink like a biker and still hide your stomach under something. If you're a smoker, and the place allows it (I am not, and I frown upon this, but it does help the prank alot) smoke smoke smoke that ciggy. Now, here's the option- either the girl can be friends with a guy who wants to mess with his other male friend, or she can just sit there until some guy comes to hit on her. Now, she waits for said friend/random guy to come up to her to hit on her/sit next to her, drinks/smokes/brags about sexual conquests- then rises from her seat, drunk as a skunk- and still wearing the fake stomach- and go to the bathroom. Sick, right? ;P
