Pranks You Can Do Easily! A Collection of Hilarious Ideas (1–10)
Bed-wetting prank
When we were kids, most of us wet the bed once or twice—or maybe so many times we lost count.
Some people might even have had a slip-up as adults, though many have probably forgotten what that feels like.
Let’s try a prank that makes someone suspect they might have wet the bed.
It’s simple: just sprinkle water on the sleeping target’s bedding or pajamas.
Easy to pull off, but no matter how they react, be warned—it can be a bit of a hassle to clean up afterward.
Coffee has spilled on something important.
If, the moment you look away, you find coffee spilled on something important—your smartphone or game console—would you scream, or be so shocked you’re left speechless? This prank uses a novelty item that looks like spilled coffee to surprise someone.
It has a texture just like real coffee, and if you place an empty can of coffee next to it, the setup is complete! Try sticking it on something that absolutely shouldn’t get wet!
Make them eat butter while pretending it’s ice cream.
Ice cream on a stick—most households keep some stocked, right? These days, there are new releases, limited-time items, and convenience-store exclusives available year-round.
Let’s pull a little prank with one of those ice creams.
The trick is to swap the ice cream for butter as-is! If someone bites into straight butter…
not only does it not melt like ice cream, it’s overwhelmingly rich—their reaction would be priceless.
Butter is pricey, so it turns into a slightly luxurious prank, though (lol).

wake-up eyelid tape
It’s a prank where you stick tape on a sleeping target’s eyelids.
All you need is tape, so it’s super easy.
The trick is simply to put the tape on without waking them up! Since everyone feels groggy right after waking, they’re surprisingly easy to fool.
Give it a try at a sleepover!
Pranks with glue
You see a 100-yen coin on the ground and go to pick it up, but no matter what you do it won’t come off the pavement! Then you realize it’s been glued down—an old classic prank.
There seem to be many variations on this idea, too, like when your phone rings and you try to grab it off the desk…
only to find it’s stuck.
The combinations are endless.
Came home in the middle of hide-and-seek
It’s a simple prank where you go home in the middle of a game of hide-and-seek.
If you do it in a large area, it’ll take longer for them to find you, so it’s easier to fool them.
Even if you don’t actually go home, just moving to a different spot will probably make things pretty exciting.
When the door opens, go ‘Wah!’ and startle them.
A very simple prank that almost everyone has tried at least once: startling someone with a sudden “Boo!” the moment they open the door.
In a way, though, this might be the most heart-stopping prank of all.
The tricky part is that you only get one chance to try it in a day.
If your timing is off and you fail, there are no do-overs.
It’s nerve-racking even for the person setting it up.
Measure the timing carefully, and if you can surprise the person as they enter the room at just the right moment, you’ve succeeded!
