Ok then, I’m curious what is considered as an “adult” prank then. Shining a light into someones house won’t harm anyone physically or damage anyone’s property.
I would consider knocking your roommate out with a sack of apples as childish and assholish (and yes, pretty funny too).
Another to consider: shooting random passersby in the ass with a powerful BB gun from a concealed location. I used to love doing that. Sometimes though, you just have to break out a lighter and some hairspray and kill some bumble bees while they are on a flower.
Purchase a park bench. Carry it around the park. If a police officcer confronts you. show him your receipt.
Convince a passerby to hold the end of a long piece of string “for a moment.” Bring the the other end around the corner of a building. Find another passerby to hold that end. Leave.
Put up a “Do Not Read This Sign” sign somewhere.
When doing shots with a friend at a bar, have the bartender give you plain water instead of vodka.
Write provacative drivel on an internet discussion board.
Edited to add: I seldomly pull pranks anymore, because I don’t want to deal with the shit that could go wrong. BUT I’m still entertained by other people’s pranks.
Maybe, MAYBE in a public place a prank aimed at no one in particular would be OK.
Possibly a prank on someone you know pretty well would be acceptable.
But a prank on a random stranger? Blatant violation of Wil Wheaton’s law. Especially when it’s during normal sleeping hours and said stranger is in said stranger’s own home.
No, I didn’t laugh. I thought the guy hitting his roommate was a prick. If anyone hit me in the head with a bag of apples I’d go all medieval on his ass. And anybody who would laugh has a sick sense of humor.
I used to keep a vodka bottle filled with water among my other bottles of liquor. on several occasions I would guide the chitchat in the direction of “how much liquor could you chug?”.
At some point I’d pick up the bottle, unscrew the cap, and start drinking.
It’s one think to pull a prank on a friend. I still relish the time I gave a buddy an honest-to-god hotfoot. I’ve had pranks pulled on me, and it’s in good sport.
You do not pull pranks on strangers. Hitting a stranger with a bag of apples isn’t fun, it’s cause to be put in jail. Trying to wake people up while they are sleeping in their homes isn’t a prank, it is abusive and antisocial behavior.
No, I didn’t laugh at the apples to the head thing – and I enjoyed the Jackass movies and TV shows. It wasn’t funny at all; the fact that you find it funny is disturbing.
No shit. Assuming that was not a set up for the camera, that was assault and was not funny in the least. WTF? That guy probably got some bad bruises from that.
