Easy Pranks You Can Do! A Collection of Hilarious Ideas (11–20)
being surrounded by mannequins
Preparation is simple: quietly approach the sleeping target and surround them from pillow to feet with mannequin heads.
Then just wait for them to wake up! First they’ll be startled from fear, and then they’ll be baffled, thinking, “What on earth is going on…?” This prank takes advantage of the grogginess right after waking to deliver both a scare and a sense of strangeness.
By the way, you can buy mannequins online, or if you know a hairstylist or have a friend attending beauty school, they might be able to give you mannequins they no longer use.
A voice that only one person can hear
A spiritual jump scare that anyone skittish is guaranteed to fall for: a voice that only one person can hear! Setting it up might be a lot of work, but watching the target get spooked when they hear it would be really entertaining.
Since the premise is that only one person can hear it, make sure you absolutely keep pretending you can’t hear anything! It’s a prank where acting skills are really important, too!
short toilet paper
A low-key prank that surprises anyone who encounters it.
All you need is a single everyday item: toilet paper.
Tear off the toilet paper so it’s a bit short, then put it back on the holder as-is or folded into a triangle.
When the next person goes to use it like normal, only a short flap comes out and they go, “Huh?”—that’s the prank.
The key is to put it back on the holder cleverly so they don’t notice it’s been torn short!
Greet them wearing a mask
You’d be really startled if, the moment you opened your room door or the elevator doors opened, there was someone wearing a mask, right? Let’s try this easy prank that you can pull off with just a mask! Rather than a cute character mask, choosing a slightly horror-themed, scary mask will make the scare factor even higher.
If the person you’re pranking isn’t good with horror, you might get a top-notch reaction! Since you’ll look completely suspicious, be sure to reveal the trick afterward and take care to comfort the person you pranked.
A prank where you can’t pull your hand out of a milk carton
Here’s a prank where everyone can do something normally, except for one target person who can’t—or the reverse.
For example, there’s one where you can’t pull your hand out of a milk carton.
If just one person is different from everyone else, they’re bound to panic, so I think it’s a very effective prank! It might be best to try it with your own twist on the idea.
Hem the pants
This prank goes like this: when they try to put on their usual pants, the hems are sewn shut so their feet can’t go through! If it’s a pair they always wear, or one that’s been set out for them to wear, they would never suspect the hems are sewn.
Casually suggest they put the pants on while chatting as if nothing’s unusual.
Since this prank involves changing clothes and is best done at home, try it on family members or friends staying over.
Whether they just quietly go “Huh???” or take a dramatic tumble, it’ll be even more fun if you set up a hidden camera to capture it on video!

The toothpaste is filled with chocolate mint ice cream.
It’s a prank where you swap the toothpaste with chocolate mint ice cream.
Even if the flavors are similar, the ice cream is much sweeter and doesn’t foam, so they’ll figure it out right away.
It’s more of a fun prank than a scary one!
