Funny surprises to amp up a birthday: Prank ideas that will liven things up (61–70)
Set up the kusudama in the room.
We often imagine breaking open a kusudama ball for celebrations, but haven’t most people never actually broken one themselves or had someone do it for them? Just giving it a try can be quite a surprise on its own.
It’s surprisingly easy to make, and the materials are easy to find, so give it a go!
to keep popping crackers all day long
When it comes to birthdays and parties, party poppers are a must! From small, standard ones to big, flashy types, you can find all kinds these days at variety shops.
Poppers really boost the party mood—normally you’d shout “Happy Birthday!” and set one off, right? But how about a surprise where, after that, you keep setting them off throughout the day at every little opportunity? The first few times might just get a “Again?” but as the number grows, the person on the receiving end will start bracing for it, so timing is key (lol).
A birthday message from a complete stranger
They said they wanted to show a birthday message video, so we played it.
At first, thinking it would be from someone connected to them, they grinned with an excited, happy expression.
But it turned out to be a chain of congratulatory messages from complete strangers.
In the end, it seemed like a new emotion had awakened in them for the first time.
500 cockroaches from a kusudama?!
A prank that I think would be incredible if anyone could take in stride without being shocked: you pull the string on a party ball and 500 cockroaches rain down on you—a hair-raising surprise.
Of course, they’re not real cockroaches, but toy ones you can buy at novelty shops! That said, even toy roaches can make some people feel sick just by looking at them.
If you spring this on someone who really can’t handle it, they might end up hating you, so pick a target who’ll be startled but still able to laugh about it.
prank video
Many people are probably thinking about sending a message video to someone on their birthday.
I also recommend trying a prank that uses such a video.
You could make a clip that feels like a so-called “cursed video,” have a celebrity suddenly appear as a surprise, and so on—there are lots of ways to pull off a prank.
Making the video itself is fun, so go ahead and enjoy pulling off your surprise!
