Well, we’re already about a week into March and you know what that means. That’s right, time to get the planning stages for our April Fool’s jokes underway. To help you in your journey to the pranking hall of fame, we’ve come up with a couple of suggestions guaranteed to either drive your friends mad or just away from you in general. We’ll keep adding to the list throughout the month so check back for updates.
1. The Surprise “Coming Out” Party
This one isn’t for the faint of heart and could land you in the friendless prankster category but if executed with the right amount of charm and finesse, you could become a god amongst men.
First, you need to find your target. April Fools victims are generally gullible so I’d go with finding your most gullible friend or roommate possible. For bonus points you can attempt this one on someone who isn’t gullible but the difficulty level will increase sharply and you’ll really have to sell it. In addition to gullibility, and this is really the most important trait that your target must possess, you need to find someone who’s insecure, possibly about their sexuality. Maybe you have a male friend or neighbor that speaks with an effeminate tone or who dresses a little too metro for your taste. The ideal target would be one such person who is also severely insecure about it. Once you’ve selected the target, now the fun can begin.
Second, you need to recruit your actors. You need to find all the friends of the target that would be willing to help you pull off the prank. This may be hard but if you’re the kind of person that would pull this kind of prank, chances are you’ve got friends that will help. Let the friends in on what you’re planning and get everyone involved in prepping banners, party favors, and all that stuff. Most everything you need can be found at any partyworks or 99 cent store and can be purchased for a few dollars. The one crucial element that you’ll need is the giant “Happy Coming Out Of The Closet” banner, without this the joke will be lost on the target.
Now that the actors are all in place and helping, throw an old fashioned surprise party. Get everyone in place hiding, take the target out somewhere while everyone sets up and let the festivities begin. Bring the target home, with any luck when he opens the door, all your friends will yell out SURPRISE!!! and the target will see the banner and immediately be embarrassed/pissed off/confused.
Everything after the surprise is optional. You can try and keep it going and watch the target explain that he hasn’t come out of the closet or if he runs outside you can immediately spring the “April Fools!!!” on him.
BTW, if you don’t mind running the risk of being hated forever by your friends and the target, mad bonus points for convincing your friends beforehand that the party is real, thus pulling an April Fools joke on everyone.
2. Nair In The Shampoo Bottle
An oldy but still a goody. Pour out half your roommates shampoo bottle and fill it up with Nair and give it a good mixing. Try not to dilute either the Nair or the shampoo too much. After your roommate screams when he or she sees their hair falling out, burst through the door and let em’ know what day it is. Bonus point for taking a picture of their surprised reaction.
For Master Level Pranksters: Do prank 2 in the morning and prank 1 at night, it’ll be an April Fools that your roommate/friend will never forget.
Well, that’s it for now, be sure to check back in a few days for more April Fools Jokes!
