Tunnel Prank

The discovery of a secret tunnel in your dorm room that leads to a neighboring unit is not something to be taken lightly. While the actual prank that results from this amazing discovery isn't the most creative, the utter audacity of it more than earns a place on our list. While most dorm pranks can be avoided by merely locking your door, this one is just about the perfect crime.

Slingshot Trap

Sometimes the only thing you need to do to be the victim of a dorm room prank is open an innocent-looking door. These jamokes set up a punishing booby trap that rocketed a tennis ball wrapped in a T-shirt directly into an unsuspecting student's groin area. What did this dude do to deserve such a brutal groin injury? The world may never know.

Chickens In The Room

Introducing barnyard animals to a dorm room is always funny, even though it doesn't lower the general hygiene level that much. This is a seriously large number of chickens to dump off in some poor sucker's dorm at three o'clock in the morning, though. What kind of college has access to this much free-range poultry at a moment's notice? You feel a little bad for the poor dumb birds, but at least it gave them something to talk about on their way to the fryer.

Swinging Nutshot

Another dorm room prank that ends with grievous injury to a poor dude's testicles. This is a pretty ghetto way of rigging up a trap, as all it takes is a bottle hanging from a length of rope. I suppose that if this had gone wrong and the bottle had swung a few feet higher we could have had a lawsuit on our hands, but c'mon. It's college, you're supposed to go home with scars.

Shower Icing

The shower is probably the most vulnerable place in an entire dorm room. You need to be naked to take one, or else things could get weird. And if you don't take one, you're going to be pretty socially ostracized. If you've drawn the attention of a group of pranksters, you have to expect something horrible might happen to you the next time you rinse off. For this poor dude, it was four giant buckets of salted ice water over his dome.
