The only thing worse than all the junk mail stuffed in your mailbox is finding a card that's actually addressed to you, but is covered in mounds of glitter. The shiny stuff ends up all over your hands, your face, and your home, and it's all but impossible to clean up. So that's why a glitter bomb, courtesy of … » 1/13/15 1:18pm 1/13/15 1:18pm

You know how sometimes you take videos when you mean to take selfies on accident and then watch them and want to die a thousand deaths as frame by frame of you getting ready to take a picture rolls by? Me neither. That's the premise of this prank, though, and this dude falls for it EVERY TIME. » 1/01/15 2:46pm 1/01/15 2:46pm

This video is for anyone that has ever gotten a truly horrible gift they absolutely did not want and had to fake being happy about it. This grandmother's reaction to her gift is your revenge. Bask in its warming glow. » 12/28/14 9:30pm 12/28/14 9:30pm

A few weeks ago, I lent my smartphone to my nineteen-year-old cousin while I was getting my hair cut. I thought she would use it to download Candy Crush or play Words With Friends, but when she handed the phone back to me, she smirked and pointed to the Tinder icon. And then I heard the "bzzzz" of an incoming message. » 12/07/14 9:15pm 12/07/14 9:15pm

Thanks to bro folklore, movies like The Hangover, and simple observations, the association between bachelor parties and bad behavior is one that's deeply ingrained in America's cultural consciousness (yes, #notallmen, but certainly a lot of them). What we don't think of when we think of bachelor parties is prankery. » 11/18/14 4:11pm 11/18/14 4:11pm

I've always thought "pranks" were a somewhat socially acceptable excuse for acting like a titanic asshole, and this video does nothing to dispel that impression. Watch as this guy pretends his girlfriend's beloved cat has fallen from an upper story window, presumably to its death. » 10/06/14 11:40am 10/06/14 11:40am

I have always held a suspicion that Ellen Degeneres is actually kind of evil. Like squeeing hamsters evil. She wouldn't actually kill them, but she'd squeeze them until they were uncomfortable. That's why it's not surprising that Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet has decided to boycott her forever. » 9/25/14 7:15pm 9/25/14 7:15pm

Everyone's buzzing about the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer, because Fifty Shades isn't so much a work of fiction as a culture-wide essay prompt. Easily the best take is this bit from Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show, who filmed The Roots reacting to a remixed version—with a scary scream-y face added. » 7/30/14 11:00am 7/30/14 11:00am

The adorable rapscallions of 5 Seconds of Summer donned Target uniforms to try and drum up interest in their album from their "target" audience, middle-aged men. » 7/28/14 9:40am 7/28/14 9:40am

It's rare that you read about a senior prank that's a)not dangerous or incredibly stupid and b) actually funny (OMG LOL). Someone give the kids at Santa Barbara High School a prize, because they managed to pull off both. » 6/04/14 6:00pm 6/04/14 6:00pm

Female students at a high school in Minnesota were tricked into believing they were required to show up for a "mandatory vagina inspection," thanks to a sick prank. » 5/15/14 11:36pm 5/15/14 11:36pm

Sometimes, when you're feeling fat or tired or behind on life, it's important to remember that "laziness" is relative. » 5/01/14 3:10pm 5/01/14 3:10pm

Alright alright, I know you're over all the belated April Fools pranks and leftover videos. I don't even like April Fools Day—I basically need to keep a roll of Tums with me the whole day because my body can't handle that type of prank stress. ANYWAY, these students planned and executed a prank on their professor so… » 4/06/14 3:00pm 4/06/14 3:00pm

If you're cooking up some half-assed April Fool's Day prank, just don't bother. Because Jill Biden already has everyone beat, after huddling in an overhead luggage compartment in Air Force Two, so she could burst forth and scare the shit out of her husband, the vice president. » 3/28/14 1:40pm 3/28/14 1:40pm

Over the holidays, a pair of rapscalliony internet jokesters tricked a handful of local TV morning shows into booking a fake chef who made disgusting gastronomical concoctions. Hilarity ensued. » 3/03/14 1:45pm 3/03/14 1:45pm

If you're looking for a way to prank your parents the next time you're back home, you might want to consider ripping off young Twitter upstart @samiwert. Recently, when the teen's parents were out of the house for an afternoon, Sami replaced all of the family photos with Google-searched images of a despondent-looking… » 2/06/14 3:31pm 2/06/14 3:31pm

Oh, that Sacha Baron Cohen! What a cut-up! Always putting on accents, wearing silly mustaches, pulling pranks and causing a ruckus! WHAT'LL THAT GUY DO NEXT??? » 11/11/13 11:15am 11/11/13 11:15am

Patrons at S'nice in the West Village recently received a side of HOLY CRAP WTF with their delicious vegan cupcake and morning joe. » 10/08/13 9:30am 10/08/13 9:30am

I've started (semi-jokingly) telling people I'm "pro-revenge" as a rule — it seems proactive — but I am not pro-making someone's live miserable, even if they dumped you. Here's a way to get back at your ex without fucking her over in the long-term. » 9/24/13 6:20pm 9/24/13 6:20pm
