You can’t be born in 1986, reach adolescence during the height of the Jackass era, and NOT be into pranking your friends. Don’t quote me on this, but I believe it is scientifically proven and physically impossible. Even to this day, at 34 years of age, nothing hits quite like an A+ prank. In my opinion, the king of the prank is the sudden scare.
No one’s getting hurt (I mean…probably shouldn’t do this to your friends if they have heart conditions), no trips to the hospital (again….hopefully), it’s easy to orchestrate, and it’s a barrel of laughs. You just can’t beat it in my opinion. Take this clip, for example:

You laughed. I know you laughed. How could you not? This is comedy gold. This man feared for his life in this moment. And, that scream? That is primal, unbridled terror. That poor guy felt it in his soul, and then I felt it in my soul for him feeling it in his soul. This was such an unexpected and well-executed prank that I’d be willing to bet that homeboy waited for a solid eight hours in the back seat of that truck, just waiting for his moment to pounce.
Brandon and I used to pull this shit all the time back in our college days. It got to a point that when either of us got home from class, we’d have to sneak around the apartment to clear it before we could relax. I think the best scare I ever had was hiding in the laundry room late at night.
Everyone had gone to bed, but I knew someone still had laundry to do. So, I pretended to go to retire to my quarters for the evening, waited for the living room to clear out, and then I snuck back into the laundry room as homeboy was getting his load of laundry together. He walked through the living room, quiet with the lights out. And, then when he opened the laundry room doors, I hissed like a cat and that sonofagun damn near pissed his pants. To be honest, I don’t remember if that was Brandon or another roommate we had, but whatever. Story counts all the same.
Here’s to the weekend, friends – for old time’s sake, go scare a buddy this weekend.
