Free Pranks: Practical jokes do not need to cost a dime

What would the world be without fun? All work and no play would sure make Jack one sorry guy. Even in what would be considered environments with a low tolerance for jesting such as the office or school, doing things that liven the mood of the employees and students is a great way to help everyone relax, foster teamwork and drive up productivity. Pranks are a great way to achieve this. However, less people do them out of the thought of conjuring one up or having to pay someone or buy a book or gadget that will help them come up with a smashing prank. But this fear is for the most part unfounded. The reason is that there are sources of free pranks all around you with the Internet (as would be expected) being the source of the most prank ideas.

Getting the right prank for the right occasion is sure to let everyone loose as they have a good belly laugh. There is a substantial additional benefit for you of course since you end up becoming the official prank king or queen. Who knows, you could even make it to big time television! True story! It is no longer uncommon nowadays for amateur pranks that are so memorable airing on television. What's more, there are TV shows nowadays that have made a business from pranks. The typical sets will often involve placing hidden cameras while filming the unsuspecting victim.

A few example categories of prank ideas include:

Classic pranks: These are old school pranks like the ‘wedgie' where the victim's inner garments are pulled up, in between their behind. This prank is mostly done in school and in cartoons, and has been around for decades thus being a classic. Another classic prank is where by you attach a note on someone's back that is written something funny, like "I stink" and the victim will keep on wondering why people are laughing at him. Classic!

Typical Office pranks: You can pull these pranks on your co- workers and even your bosses: just make sure you don't get fired. An example, is tampering with the mousesettings on the control panel of a co-workers' computer, so that the mouse is at its slowest speed, it will tickle you to see them dragging the mouse from one end of the desk to the other for the mouse pointer to only move half an inch.

Telephone pranks: There are a number of websites that actually provide phone prank services for free. All you need to do is enter the number of the person you want to trick, specify the message you want relayed and the time. They will get a funny or irritating message that they cannot make sense of. The killer phone prank is when you have the calling number masked to instead display the number of the person being called. Do this and they will be ready to go for therapy immediately!

High tech pranks: This category of pranks has a lot of overlap with office and telephone pranks since most high tech pranks usually take place in the office and many phone pranks might need the use of technology. An example of free pranks that are high tech is changing the properties or features of someone's computer so that each time they receive an email, a festive song is played. It would really be funny seeing them trying to figure out what the cause of this is, while getting super-irritated.
