Best prank you've ever done?

Back in the day when you could get in the airport concourses without a ticket I used to meet friends and family at the MSP airport when they had a layover flying through. My brother would regularly notify me when he was flying through complete with gate number so I could meet him for a drink. One day he notified me but I didn't think I could get away from work so I told him 'no'. A buddy's wife who I am good friends with soon after told me she was flying through as well. It turned out I could make it so I went to the airport and met my female friend. My brother's flight was due about a half an hour later so I asked her if she was up for helping me get one up on my brother. He was always pranking me but I never seemed to get him with a big one. She was willing so I had her stand with me near his gate as we watched people get off the plane. When he came through the door I pointed him out and hid while she tore off and shouted his name at the top of her lungs. Then she threw herself in his arms and screamed about how long it had been since she had seen him making a huge scene. My brother's face was priceless as he had never met her and was desperately trying to figure out who this girl was. Finally after a couple of minutes I walked up behind him and calmly said, "Gotcha." An old couple nearby who had seen the whole thing just lost it on the spot.
 
Flood of '93.

Working flood fighting teams with other co-workers. As the waters rose groundhogs were abandoning their digs in droves. They were everywhere. (They are not good for your levee system since they create a path for the water to breech the thickness of the levee.) We were under guidance to trap or otherwise end the life of groundhogs in any way possible.

One late afternoon one of the guys killed one. Hmmm - what to do with the carcass...

There were porta-potties brought in to give the remote crews a place to do their thing. So one of the other engineers and I thought it would be a funny idea to plant the dead groundhog inside one of them then find out the next day who found it and their reaction.

Next day we found out who the victim was who found the thing. Turns out it was the one and only black guy on the crew. We never confessed.
 
Worked at a summer camp where all the staff lived in their own cabin. Some of the maintenance guys removed the mattress from the bunk of a lifeguard and replaced it with bricks. Another staff member found it before the lifeguard did and replaced the mattress. Next morning the maintenance guys couldn’t wait for the reaction and kept asking how she slept. She kept saying fine not knowing about the bricks.
 
Got a couple:

1) in the dorms freshman year, roommate’s girlfriend was visiting from out of town. Some other guys on our floor and myself hid a Bluetooth speaker under the couch and turned it all the way up. About half hour into her being there we just blared some... adult film.. sounds. We could hear him freaking out trying to find where it was coming from. They were great sports and thought it was hilarious.

2) Local golf course has a par 3 hole that you can’t really see where your tee shot went til you get up to the green. Texted another buddy playing ahead of us to hide and go put this guys shot in the hole no matter where it went. My friend went nuts: we took a pic that he put on social media, he called his dad, everything. A few holes later we couldn’t hold it in anymore and had to tell him. He was devastated.
 
Similar vein to my second one listed above. This will forever be my favorite prank I’ve ever seen. I would cry

 
middle school there was about a dozen that had mopeds. one of the other linemen had a Honda Elite that one morning we carried to the top of the bleachers in view of the lunch room. I had the same lunch period he did and the mother ****** he let out when he finally saw it up there was epic.. was a fun start to football practice with a few of us carrying it back down..

I would always park within a few inches of a buddies drivers door, and then help another buddy back in within a few inches as well on the passenger side. also jacked his vehicle up once just enough to fit blocks under his vehicle and leave the tires just off the ground.

Ouch. That probably left a mark on him. I would have been devastated as well and I'm wondering how much time would need to pass for the burn to subside.

Before moving, I was part of a foursome that played almost every weekend. Two guys in the group each had made two HIOs. Poor Dave and I had zero. Quite a few years ago Dave tells us all that he finally made a hole in one, playing alone, on his birthday no less. Huge mistake - he now gets birthday wishes every year from a boatload of people congratulating him on still never having made a hole in one.

We have no idea if he actually made one or not. He has a habit of telling eyebrow raising tales and it is often debated between the three of us - we change our minds each time. I have since also checked the box and one of the other two has made a third HIO (which three of us were there for, minus Dave) and the intensity of the birthday wishes has only grown over time.

He knows the only way out of this is to actually make one. Preferably in front of another person.
 
Not my best, but I used to work with a guy who brought a hard boiled egg as part of his lunch every day. He would take the egg and smack it on the table to start peeling it every time. One day I replaced his hard boiled egg with a raw egg before lunch. He sits down for lunch and slams the raw egg on the table. We all laughed and I acted as surprised as everyone. He immediately called his wife and blamed her. I never told him.

He was pissed for about 5 mins and then thought it was funny
 
Back in the late 80’s I was an assistant manager at a Wal-Mart In S.E. Iowa. One of the other assistants was a girl a few years younger than me. One day I was at the front of the store and a guy from the local Ford dealer came in to drop off her car and keys after she’d had her car serviced. I paged her but she was busy in back asked me to just bring her the keys so the guy didn’t have to wait. As a began walking to the back of the store to give her her keys, the opportunity hit me. Swung by automotive and made a copy of her car key. For the next month or so I would randomly move her car a few spots over, or back it into a space when leaving or returning from lunch. On a few nights, when I was out late, I’d swing by her house and move the car out from under her carport or reverse it’s direction in her driveway.
One day a group of us were chatting at work and the topic turned to cars/car repairs. I mentioned my car at the time was doing wired things. Said my pop up headlights would go up and down during the night and the sometimes the car would roll to the end of the driveway. She jumps in and says, really? Me too, then proceeds to explain some of the things that had happened. I got to laughing so hard it took me a while to compose myself and explain what I’d been doing. She was a good sport and confessed that on a few occasions she wondered if she’d just parked it the way she found it.

Ahhh. Cell phones allow a person to appear one place when they're actually right next to you. Between Austin and Victoria, TX, just outside of a small town (Cuero) where my Mom's husband (while driving their RV to Victoria) pulled over to buy her flowers in the middle of nowhere. I was disguised as a homeless person selling roses for $1. She had no idea it was me (I was supposed to be in San Francisco where I lived, but how could I pass up 'Mother's Day' AND 'her birthday'?). Nor did she read my sign when I flipped it over saying Happy Birthday. She was too busy screaming at my step dad. It was hilarious. I, eventually, (after several other subtle hints), pulled off my wig before she finally figured out it was me. That night I pulled off a similar gig with my sister in Victoria. Only in the background I heard two conversations. The first was her husband wanting to kick my ass. And the second one was my niece saying "If I didn't no any better, I think that's Uncle ___". It took everything I had to contain myself. My sister was quicker to read the back side of the sign. Try getting a manager's approval for a homeless person to sit outside a nice restaurant as a practical joke. My Aunt still says it was the all time practical joke / surprise.

I've been to Cuero:)
 
We had some friends who got married. On their honeymoon a bunch of us pooled money and bought some balloons wholesale. We gained access to their house and started filling it up with balloons. We had several air compressors running and a lot of people tying, etc. If I remember right the main floor was about 6 ft deep, plus the bedroom was completely filled and a bunch in the basement and upstairs.
 
My wife is extremely shy and while we were dating. We would go out with my best friend and his wife. My best friend was always flipping her $?!+ trying to get her out of her shell. One night we’re out and my wife and I go up to the bar to buy some drinks. She pulls out blue food coloring and pours it in his beer. We do a toast and down the beers. Afterwards he starts laughing and smiling with blue teeth. His wife busts out laughing at him and they immediately think it’s me. When they were told it was her it made it hilarious to them.

It turned out to be two pranks because the next morning he calls to tell us he is pooping blue.
 
Sort of a weird senior prank.. but I was friends with a teacher who let me know about an end of year teacher picnic. It took place at a pavilion overlooking a beach on a lake near the high school.

So, I orchestrated a group of ten or so guys to dress up in just man thongs and crazy masks. We arrived at beach, just below the pavilion where all the teachers were and went on to play a game of touch football, starting with a bunch of inappropriate stretches with our bare butts facing them. We thought we were anonymous with the masks, but one of the hall monitors starts naming each of us off one-by-one. Either way, the teachers were laughing and seemed to get a kick out of it.
 
My freshman year I lived in Linden which was coed. 3 Male floors on one side and 3 Female floors on the other. We shared a common laundry facility. There was a small box where everyone would throw stray socks, underwear, etc.

My roommate was going home for the weekend so we grabbed 3 pairs of panties from the box and hid them in his dirty laundry that he was taking home.

Needless to say his mom seriously doubted that he had no ideas whose panties they were.
 
The funniest prank I personally pulled was the old tape on the laser mouse bottom. I pulled it on a guy in the desk next to me. He spent an hour trying to figure it out before he called IT. The first IT guy spent an hour working on it and called another IT guy and spent another 1/2 hour before they decided to replace it. I couldn't hold it any more and let them in on the joke.

The funniest prank I was adjacent to was in high school when a few guys were out booze cruising and they found a church steeple laying on the ground during a renovation at a small country church. They took off with the steeple and held onto it for a couple weeks until the please return no questions asked came out in the paper.
 
A couple other pranks I remember from being an immature HS student..

1) During homecoming week, one day was "old people dress-up day." This was also the same day as the school-wide karaoke contest. A bunch of the senior boys, dressed as old men with canes, decided to perform MJ's famous song "beat it." They used the canes to...well, you get the idea. The principal stopped the performance short and they had to apologize to the whole school.

2) We did school announcements via video every morning. We watched 15 minutes of Channel One followed by a recorded message of announcements from a student in the senior-year communications class. Seniors went in early to record the announcements, and replaced the recording with porn. This was also followed with an apology.
 
Oh man, I just remembered one we did as dumb *** high schoolers. Farm town Iowa where two towns shared a school. Kids were bussed back and forth between the towns. The schools hadn't been merged long and they still had their own "stuff". As in busses were labeled with the individual town name, not the merged school name.

One night we were out screwing around. One of the guys mentions he knows how to get into the bus barn. Another friend says "do you know how to get into the bus barn at the other school?" He says yes.

So in our infinite wisdom, we stole a school bus. And drove it to the other town at 2 in the morning. When we got to the other town, we grabbed another school bus. Put the one from town A into town B's building, then drove he the bus from town B back to town A and put that bus in away.

The cackling and hooting didn't stop during either ride, about 20 minutes long. We were roaring. So dumb.

It never turned into a thing because people figured a simple mistake was made somewhere, but word got out around the school what happened. I don't know who the leak was but we were never discovered.

The benefit of time and maturity make me look back on my youth with gratitude I didn't face consequences from some royally stupid ideas.

I come from a small farm town as well. A friend of mine had parked her car at a house in my neighborhood. My buddy and I knew she left her car unlocked, so we snuck over to TP her car. Then we found the keys in the ignition. We had no choice but to take it for a joy ride! So we jumped in and starting driving around, planning to park it a block or two over. She saw us drive away and hopped in a car and started chasing us around town. We ended up going on the bypass doing about 80 mph with her "chasing" us. We were so lucky we didn't crash or get spotted by a cop.
