For some, April Fool’s Day is an annual tradition, but even for those with no traditions, our current stay at home situation might just allow you to pull the funniest prank on your parents or siblings! Short-form video sharing app, TikTok got us all hyped with prank ideas that are simple, yet hilariously effects, and we’ve listed a few of them below, check it out!
NOTE: Be cautious who you prank, as you’re stuck with them at home!
1. Can You Hand Me Some Toilet Paper?
You will need:
- Chocolate spread
- Tissue Paper
What to do:
- In the bathroom, 'fake' call for help to get more tissue acting as if you’d run out.
- Once your target comes and hands over to you a tissue roll, clumsily smother them with a bit of chocolate spread on their hand.
- Be sure to film their reaction!
P.S. This works best on children!
2. Fake Tattoo
You will need:
- Printer
- Low-cost perfume
What to do:
- Print out or draw a design or image of your choice.
- Cut the paper as close to your design as possible
- Spray the paper with your chosen image in low-cost perfume (preferably one you don't use anymore); almost drenched
- Place the image in some water for about 3 minutes, make sure it's all covered in water.
- After 3 minutes or so, take it out of the water and spray even more perfume on it.
- Spray the area you want to place the fake tattoo on with perfume then place the paper with image facing down to your skin.
- Apply pressure for a couple minutes.
- Take paper off and you'll have a fake tattoo!
- Reveal it to your parents!
Tip: We recommend placing it somewhere unnoticeable considering they've seen you for the past two weeks!
3. Help Me Crack My Neck!

4. Strangle Prank
You will need:
- Long thin scarf or phone charging wire or a long shoelace or a necktie
- Camera phone or mirror
What to do:
- Tell victim that you will show them something
- Place a camera or mirror in front of yourself and your prank victim
- Wrap the scarf or wire around their neck, showing them in the mirror that you've criss-crossed the two ends.
- IMPORTANT: Once you bring the two ends to the back (behind their necks where they cannot see) BE SURE to uncross the two ends, but do so slyly so they don't see.
- Once two ends have been uncrossed, pull both sides of the scarf or wire.
- Record their shocked reaction!
NOTE: Practice is important here for safety reasons.
