What is your favorite prank?

Happy April Fools Day! Since many like to pull pranks on this day, it seems like a good time to ask what your favorite prank is, whether it's one you pulled or one that you know about and thought was fun.

My favorite prank was the amphibious car prank on Candid Camera. The person driving the car would ask for directions, and after confirming their destination was across a body of water, they'd proceed to drive right across it.

I, too, used to be a fan of shows like Candid Camera and "Bloopers & Practical Jokes" (where the practical jokes were basically pranks).. But i'm an old man now and take medications which dull my 'fun' neurons, so I don't get as much enjoyment out of pranks as I once did. Some of them seem almost rude or just inappropriate even though I do get a chuckle out of watching others do it still. I always would worry a prank would be taken too serious and get me in trouble. I'm not sure i have a favorite, though I believe I am contractually obligated to respond to this message :→, so I had to give some kind of reply.

I loved Candid Camera! Remember when Fannie Flagg was the co-host with what's his name. Alan Funt? I reminded my Cuban friends that today was All Fools Day. In Cuba (and maybe other Latin countries), it's December 28th.

It works better I think in April. It is the cruelest month. It seemed to me that it was something we did in school more than elsewhere. As a student and a teacher, it was usual that my most mischievous friends/students were always trying to fool you with something.

I like candid camera too. I used to give people chocolates with jalapeño as dessert when they were not expecting the spice when I was a teen. The faces of people eating the chocolates were priceless.
