[Hilarious] Funny Prank & Practical Joke Ideas (21–30)
A prank where a nail ends up stuck in someone’s hand

What a painfully cruel prank.
As a woman is doing some woodworking, a cockroach approaches her.
When she tries to crush it with her hand, her hand ends up getting impaled on a nail.
Of course, she already has special-effects makeup applied to her hand.
Her reaction—like she’s just witnessed the end of the world—is beyond words.
Swap idol merch for my own

If you have a close friend who’s a fan of an idol, a great prank to try is “swap all of their idol merch with versions featuring yourself.” For this prank, replace all the photos on the merchandise—like the idol’s face—with the prankster’s face.
The more convincingly you recreate the merch, the funnier it gets, so be sure to focus on quality when you make it.

Prank memo

It’s a prank that looks like spilled milk but is actually a memo.
Since people feel that spilled milk is a hassle, it really surprises them.
It’s an easy prank to pull because it ends with relief when they realize nothing actually spilled.
There are also coffee and water versions.
Infinite Shampoo

For a while, the “infinite shampoo” prank was trending on social media, especially among young people, and now it’s become a classic gotcha.
The idea is to keep pouring shampoo on someone while they’re rinsing, so no matter how long they try, it never seems to wash out.
It’s a bit of a waste of shampoo, but it’s pretty funny.
Paranormal Prank

When it comes to pranks, you can’t leave out the scary ones.
If you’re looking for pranks that evoke fear, how about making a ghost? These days, home improvement stores and variety shops sell plenty of special-effects face molds and makeup tools, so put them to use.
Becoming a ghost yourself can really liven things up.
A prank where your tongue falls off

You’d be shocked if someone’s tongue fell out right in front of you, right? To create that surprise, prepare a fake tongue for a prank.
Start the prank in the middle of a conversation when you put your hand to your mouth, or when you do the “akkanbee” face with kids.
Then casually let the prepared tongue slip out of your mouth.
To make it feel even more real, try speaking as if your tongue is getting in the way, slurring your words.
The prankster’s acting skills are an important factor.
If you’re playing this on small children, be sure to reveal the trick afterward so they can feel safe.
Swap coffee and mentsuyu (noodle soup base).

This is a prank aimed at people who drink coffee often: replace all of the coffee with mentsuyu (noodle soup base).
There’s a good chance they’ll notice, but it seems easier to pull off if they’re drinking from a plastic cup, like the ones from convenience stores.
Just make sure not to use it straight; dilute it with some water before you set up the prank.
