Pranks have been a popular form of entertainment for centuries, eliciting laughter and excitement from both the prankster and the audience. I mean, it’s not surprising given that there’s a day called April Fools when you’re supposed to prank other people and all bets are off. However, it is critical to remember that pranks should be harmless and cause no physical or emotional harm to others. Pranks can create lasting memories and strengthen bonds between friends and family when done correctly.
However, this is not the case with today’s pranks. Rather, they frequently cross the line, causing unnecessary pain and damage. I’m sure we’ve all seen those YouTube videos where the pranks cross the line into bullying, and it’s never as funny as they make it seem. There is a fine line between harmless pranks and hurtful behaviour, and you must understand it in order to carry out a safe prank. Well, the people in the following stories clearly understood the assignment and pulled off some incredible pranks.

This is the question that started it all when one Redditor asked people what was the most evil prank they had ever pulled off.
#1 Quite a harmless prank, as they must have realised none of them were deaf within a few minutes.
While we referred to them as evil pranks, they were all in good fun and intended to entertain rather than harm. It’s important to remember that pranks should always be done with the intention of making people laugh, not to cause harm or distress. Now, I’m not saying that some of these people didn’t use the pranks for the sole purpose of exacting revenge. However, this does not imply that they crossed the line into outright bullying.
It all comes down to striking a balance between humour and respect for the feelings of others. Pranks can be a fun way to bond with friends and family, as long as they are carried out in good spirits and everyone involved can laugh about them later.
