Pranks

There's nothing quite so funny as watching people who think they're about to be implicated in misdemeanor-level crime. And these pranksters know it.

In a recent episode of the Oprah of the 2000's (aka 'Ellen'), the daytime talk show host sent one of her writers to Lowe's in order to stir up some serious confusion in a few unsuspecting people. How so? By speaking to strangers only with the lyrics of Taylor Swift's hit 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.'

Generally speaking, we would say please PLEASE leave commuters alone. They're already suffering the indignity of being elbowed by teenagers in the throes of sweaty, bubblegum and Axe-scented passion. After a day of soul-crushing work most people just want to be left alone. But this prank on the 4 train might actually have made some people's days a little better.

YouTube It's not even the slightest bit of a secret that we love a good practical joke. We even kind of like the bad ones. Basically, as long as nobody winds up in a hospital, we're on board. So it should come as no surprise that we are BIG fans of the TruTV show 'Impractical Jokers.' Man ... Read More ...

Jumping on the lengthly line of recent pranks on the Internet -- or perhaps moving straight to the front of that line -- this one of a driverless car is quickly racking up the views.

Here's a little gem from the TruTv reality show 'Principal's Office.' We aren't really sure how the principal thought it was going to go when he brought in two student "leaders" to ask them for help solving the school's "grinding" problem, but this seems about right.

We love us a really good prank. We're talking about the kind that either scares the pants off people (all in good fun, of course) and those that are just straight up hilarious. These sorts of jokes make life a tad more interesting, so we're always on the lookout for great shenanigans on the Web.

Here's a little Norwegian news piece on Basse Andersen, who might just be the most easily frightened man on earth. It's a real gem. If you like watching prank videos, this is basically that. Only it's the same guy. Over and over and over again...

Here's a little video to get you into the spirit of Christmas, if you're kind of trampy. Nate, Caitlin and Stuart set up shop on the campus of Brigham Young University to trick as many people as possible into kissing them by using a sprig of renegade mistletoe that drops down at a moment's notice. They are braver than we -- the whole time we watched this all we could think was "Herpes! Herpes

Just because it's legal to do it on your own time in Colorado, doesn't mean you can drug your whole class. Two University of Colorado students in Boulder thought it would be funny to bring pot brownies to a morning class to share. Then a bunch of people who ate them had freak- outs. Suddenly it was not so fun.

You know how much we love pranks. We're not talking about the terrifying kind involving zombies; we're big fans of the innocent variety like posting a picture of a fake lotto ticket. These types of jokes are all in good fun, and they give us awesome ideas for our own everyday pranks. That's exactly why we're loving Pearce Murphy's shenanigans.

Ladies and gentleman, prime time prank season is upon us. Why? Everyone's so stinkin' happy around the holidays, and the last thing they'd expect is for an evil prankster to pull out hilarious (and sometimes mean) tricks.

We don't know what's with the recent upswing of pranks popping up online but it seems fairly certain to say we don't mind them. This one -- which features a paralyzingly real-life Tyrannosaurus Rex terrorizing a town's citizens (playfully, of course) -- is the newest piece of mischief that caught our eye.

Ghastly little children and zombie corpses in elevators aren't the only things petrifying people around the world this holiday season. It looks like even Frosty himself is getting in on the act to wish us all a very happy (and spooky) holiday.

Nolan Daniels did not win hundreds of millions of dollars as part of last week's record breaking Powerball $588 million jackpot. But he did trick millions of people on Facebook into thinking he had.
