Top 25 Pranks of All Time

UGO's Top 25 Pranks


Ah, pranks – who doesn't love them? In terms of comedy, a good prank has got it all: you can get your friends involved, the prankee usually gets to experience an emotional rollercoaster, and of course, everyone gets lots and lots of laughs in the end. Yup, pranks are great...so long as they're not happening to you, naturally.

And while history is littered with great pranks ever since Og the Caveman pulled the first prank on his buddy Udd with the ol' "fake plastic T-Rex" gag, there are certainly a few that stand head and shoulders above the rest. Not to mention, pranks have become art forms in themselves and a cultural phenomenon – heck, it seems like at one point MTV was showing nothing but prank shows!

As diehard fans of the art of the prank, we here at UGO would like to take time out and celebrate the top 25 greatest pranks ever caught on camera. So put down your whoopee cushions and fake dog doo-doo and join in on the fun at laughing at others misfortunes!

The first day on any new job can be nerve-wracking, but for the poor unsuspecting schmuck in this classic Jamie Kennedy Experiment prank, it had to be downright terrifying. In it, the mark – thinking he's simply going on a routine job interview -- is immediately hired by Kennedy (dressed as an extra from The Sopranos) to deliver a pizza to some "business associates," but quickly finds himself in a Jersey-style sit down with two heavy-hitting mobsters. But when he makes the mistake of opening an envelope he was specifically told not to, all hell breaks loose. When it's all said and done, the look on the mark's face is just priceless.
