April Fool's Day - Top 5 Pranks From Read Scoops

Top 5 prank ideas for April Fool’s Day 2020

1) Sign them up for a weird mailing list

This one’s simple and not extraordinary. All you got to do is go online and get your friend registered to a weird mailing list. Maybe make sure he gets newsletters from every matrimonial websites out there. Or get a married friend to get emails from dating websites. If you want to go one step ahead and really annoy the friend, sign them up to every goddamn website on the internet. Sure, he won’t forget this joke of yours!

2) Ask for Roger!

Here’s a joke that can really get on your friend’s nerves by the end of the day. Ask 5-10 or even 25 of your friends to call a single friend at different times of the day and ask to speak to Roger. Of course, there’s no one called Roger on the line but it’s going to be a good prank for sure. At the end of the day, release the grand finale by making someone call and ask, “Hi, I’m Roger. Were there any phone calls for me today?”

3) The old Facebook joke

We’ve all been the victim of this one at some point of time or the other. All you have to do is log in to Facebook, visit a friend’s profile and like every post they’ve ever uploaded, right from statuses to old pictures. The older pictures you like, the more embarrassing it could get for some, all everyone in your list is now viewing this friend’s old and uncool images from 8-9 years back. Moreover, no one likes to log in to Facebook and find 200+ notifications!

4) Happy birthday bro!

Open any of your social media accounts and upload a picture with one of your dearest mates, and wish them happy birthday! This will ensure there are tons of people who message him/her saying sorry for missing their birthday and not wishing earlier. However, for this to be a success, you need to upload a picture of a friend who shares a lot of mutual friends with you!

5) Nail polish soap bar

This isn’t something you can do for others during the coronavirus lockdown. However, it’s a certain prank you can play at home. All you got to do is whip out a nail polish and paint your soap bar nice and slowly, so as to not make it obvious that it’s not soap. Let someone from your family go on to use it and let’s see how long they take to realize they got pranked. Trust me, the non-lathering soap bar is among the funniest pranks you can carry out!
