6 Hilarious Last-Minute April Fools' Day Pranks

by Chrissa Hardy

Let the shenanigans begin. It's April Fools' Day, which means you cannot trust anyone. It also means that you need to keep your head on a swivel and watch your back, because you could be pranked at any moment, in any number of ways. Don't even try to predict what's coming, because thanks to the Internet, the options for stellar pranks are endless. Luckily, there are a few last-minute April Fools' Day pranks you can pull to even the playing field.

That's right. You can play the prankster too, and dole out some hilarious trickery to everyone you like and love. It really doesn't take much effort, either. All you need are some household items, maybe some condiments, and a wild imagination as to how to use them in completely nonsensical ways. Every item required to pull off a legendary April Fools' Day prank is probably already in your house, so no need to head to the store before work. Now, just be warned that pranks are not often welcomed, which means your chosen victim is probably going to want to punch you in the face (hopefully they won't though). After some time passes, I'm sure they'll find the humor in whatever you decide to do, but just make sure your prank doesn't hurt them, ruin any of their personal belongings, or get them in trouble. Here are six spectacularly easy last-minute April Fools' Day pranks you still have time to pull off.

1. Swap Deodorant For Cream Cheese

Maybe also give them a can of Febreze with a bow on it, since they'll need it to battle the stench of funky cheese all day long.

2. Give Your Coworkers' Coffee Mugs A Pig Snout

Your morning meeting will soon look like a pig pen.

3. Try The Baby Powder Blow Dryer Gag

This one is risky, since there's the chance that a.) powder will go right in their eye, and it will hurt, and b.) you will probably make your significant other or roomy late for work since they'll need to wash all the powder away.... but you have to admit it's pretty hilarious.

4. Give The Gift Of Gravy Tea

Not a great way to start the day/unwind in the afternoon, but the reaction will be outstanding.

5. Create Anarchy In The Communal Candy Bowl

So simple, yet so sinister.

6. Mess With The Mouse

Cover the sensor ball with a creepy image and some tape. Just annoying and weird enough to haunt their dreams tonight.
