[Shocking!] Prank Items That Will Definitely Surprise You in a Prank (1–10)
whoopee cushion
A very classic item that almost everyone tried at least once as a kid: the whoopee cushion.
It’s like a rubber balloon that you inflate; when you press it and the air escapes, it makes a “phhht!” sound, as if the person farted.
If you place the inflated cushion on a chair or the floor and then put a seat cushion over it, it’s hard to notice, and someone will sit on it without realizing.
It’s nostalgic and simple, and even the person who gets pranked can’t help but laugh.
My phone screen is totally shattered! Funny smartphone cases

[Shocking!] Prank Gadgets That Will Definitely Surprise You in a Prank (11–20)
pie in the face
A popular prank not only in Japan but also in overseas dramas and TV shows is the classic pie-in-the-face gag.
You load up something that looks like whipped cream onto a light paper plate and hurl it straight at the target’s face! But in reality, it’s not a real pie.
These days, variety shops sell sets that include a spray can that dispenses a cream-like foam along with paper plates.
So it’s gentle on the face and skin.
It’s the perfect prank item for birthday parties and the like.
bloody soap
A perfect prank item: the Blood-Soaked Soap.
You pick up a bar of soap to wash your hands without suspecting a thing, but as soon as you use it, bright red “blood” appears all over your hands.
The mechanism is very simple: on the underside of an ordinary white bar of soap, there’s something like red paint attached, which dissolves when it gets wet and releases the color.
It’s a simple yet startling item—you’re washing to get your hands clean, but they quickly turn bright red.
Be sure to place it so the red lump on the underside can’t be seen!
fake blood
As a prank item, fake blood is incredibly useful and almost guaranteed to make an appearance.
You often see it in TV dramas too, and even if you’re not squeamish about blood, it can look painful and give you a bit of a shiver.
When it comes to pulling pranks with fake blood, tons of ideas come to mind—you can pretend to be injured, or make it look like the other person is bleeding.
Anyone would be shocked to see a lot of blood.
These days it’s also super popular for Halloween and easy to get your hands on.
cupcake fart
Especially the fart jokes that kids love.
Well, there are even adults—who aren’t kids—who like them too (lol).
The prank item “Nigiri-pe,” which uses fart sounds, is a gadget that supposedly lets you control fart noises at will.
It’s a small, round, rubber whistle-like thing: you cover a hole in the rubber with your palm, and the sound leaking from the hole ends up sounding like a fart.
You can enjoy a variety of sounds by changing how you cover and open the hole, so it takes a little practice, but it’s a prank item that seems likely to get laughs from just about anyone.
