1) Hot stuff!
Anyone want to try an Egyptian strawberry?
"Try one. They're great!"
2) Broken screen
This is an old prank, but a classic nonetheless. If your friend leaves their laptop or phone unlocked, change their wallpaper to make it look like their screen is broken.

3) Show me the money
If you're sitting somewhere in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, "Did you bring the money?"
4) "Sorry, wrong person."
Here's an amusing text prank which Seth Dillon sent to his wife...
 |
| "Thank you for being the greatest blessing in my life." "Sorry, wrong person." |
I'm sure she saw the funny side!
5) Free £10 Bet
Ladbrokes sometimes have a free sports quiz and before the quiz starts there's a chat window where you can type messages and chat with other quiz contestants. As a trick, I like to type 'freebet10' in the chat window and inevitably some of the other players will assume it's a code to get a free £10 bet. Within a few seconds several other players will have also typed freebet10, and before long you'll find that almost every message is from punters foolishly typing 'freebet10' in the mistaken belief that they'll get a free £10 bet!

Notice that one of the players obviously thought he'd try his luck for a free £20 bet and typed 'freebet20'.
6) I hereby bequeath...
Leave a falcon to someone in your will. Everyone will be thinking, "Falcon? I didn't know he had an falcon?" And the 'lucky' recipient will think, "Falcon!? Why would I want a falcon!?"
7) Fishing prank
During the lockdowns, trivial crimes like arson, looting and murder were deprioritised by some politicians to allow the police more time to go after serious criminals, such as people not following the lockdown. In response, one prankster decided to create a scarecrow to play the following trick...

| I'm sure the police saw the funny side! |
Luckily, police are immune from the WuFlu, apparently, so it was safe for them to go outside during the lockdowns.
8) Clean beans
Finally, to round things off on a serious note, this last example is actually brilliant advice and is definitely not a prank. **shifty eyes**
If you've ran out of washing powder, you can just use beans instead.

Editor's note: "Wow! I never knew that, Charles! I'll give beans a try next time I need to do my laundry."
Charles: "Yes, they'll definitely get your clothes clean, because this is definitely not a prank. **shifty eyes** "
