Pranks you’ll want to pull on April Fools’ Day: ideas that will make your friends and family smile

Ayumi look-alike video prank

@underplot0903

Saying it was Ayu’s live footage, I ended up showing them a live video of ayu (sweetfish).Prankmischief

♬ Original song – Unrot – Unrot

This is a prank that plays on the fact that Ayumi Hamasaki was affectionately known as “Ayu,” by showing a different “Ayu” and enjoying the reaction.

It’s best to pull on people who watched her in real time; the more excited they are, the bigger the disappointment.

The setup is to say you’re going to show “Ayu’s live footage,” then show a nature video about the fish ayu (sweetfish).

It’s funny because the wording isn’t technically wrong.

Since it’s a pun-based prank, it really tests the strength of the reaction, and it’s likely to make the target squirm.

Make fast food using confectionery ingredients

April Fools’ Food Prank!

It’s a clever idea that you might not notice unless you look closely: making fast food out of sweets.

In fact, it seems you can recreate all kinds of foods using just snack ingredients.

If you’re aiming for a cute surprise, why not try making something like this, even if it takes a bit of effort?

Switching cream with toothpaste

Prank: Replacing Oreo cream with toothpaste! [Natsuki Tanaka]

It’s a prank where you swap the cream in Oreo cookies with toothpaste.

You can’t tell by looking, so I think anyone would just eat them as usual.

People don’t typically eat a lot of toothpaste, so if you fall for it, it might really get to you.

Saddle Hell

[Prank] A prank where the fridge is stuffed with a ton of bicycle saddles!?

A nonsensical prank where, when you open the fridge, for some reason it’s stuffed full of bicycle saddles.

It looks surreal, but if you opened it without knowing, you’d be genuinely shocked.

There are lots of “massive-quantity” prank series out there, but who would even think of using saddles?

Prank with a bunch of toy spiders

[Prank] What would happen if 3,000 spiders were right next to you while you were sleeping?

You’d be shocked if you suddenly found yourself surrounded by spiders without realizing it, right? Try secretly scattering spider toys when the person you’re pranking is deeply focused, sleeping, or out of the house.

For people who are bad with bugs, it’s a pretty effective and nasty prank.

stab with a retractable knife

What would happen if you were suddenly stabbed with a knife?

I’m going to pull a prank using one of those knives you often see with toys, where the blade retracts when you stab.

It’s not very funny if you just stab in an obvious way, so to really surprise them, try creating a serious atmosphere first and then do it.

The mood-setting is important, so make a plan and give it a try.

A ghost appears during class

Prank: A ghost appears during cram school class and the high school girls’ reactions were way too funny lol

It’s a prank I’d like to try at a cram school or classroom, but since it involves a ghost, there’s a risk it could end in awkward chuckles.

That said, if a long-haired woman in white clothes with a white-painted face suddenly appeared behind you, anyone would be startled for a moment, right? Recommended for those who can endure an eerie atmosphere.

Cheating prank + reverse prank

She pulled a cheating prank, and her boyfriend totally snapped—things turned into a real mess.

A cheating prank is the kind of prank that can easily turn into a huge fight, so it’s very high-risk—but this is a reverse prank that turns that risk on its head.

If a cheating prank actually makes your partner angry, you’re going to feel truly awful.

But once they realize that the cheating prank itself was the prank all along, the tension will dissolve in an instant.

100% lemon juice

I pulled a 100% lemon juice prank on Silk and the crew to get back at them, and the result was totally unexpected!!

It’s a prank where you lie that it’s a sweet lemon or yuzu-style juice and make someone drink 100% lemon juice.

To keep the smell from giving it away, it’s best to serve it in something with a small opening.

Try secretly giving it to a friend who likes honey-lemon drinks.

Hundred-person unit

100-Person Squad: Hilarious Highlights

It’s a terrifying prank where, while you’re walking down the street, a hundred people suddenly start running toward you.

To make the target run away, you need a large crowd to chase them; otherwise, it’s not very effective.

Like on TV specials, it might be more effective if the crowd bursts in while shouting something.
