Ah, the future of America looks bright. In this confounding prank, high school students make use of an underground tunnel to continuously cycle around and fill the crosswalk in front of their school. I don’t know about you, but if I was that white car I would eventually just gun it through the gap. Watch how far back the lines of cars and busses go. Well done kids, well done.

Key Moment: Keep an eye out for the giant cow. Nice touch. Enjoy.

No matter how advanced your education, there is an elegant simplicity in just saying someone sucks.

It’s true that this is merely a generic volley lofted between bitter rivals. Often, however, it’s the manner that makes or breaks the prank. What makes this so brilliant is that the unwitting fans did not know until it’s too late, if they realized at all.

Yale definitely deserved bragging rights for this one. Either way, both schools are filled with pretentious douchenozzles, so in a way they both suck. True story. Enjoy.

Do You Like Apples? Well How Do You Like Them Apples?

This prank probably did more to stimulate student interest in Dartmouth than every tour ever given combined. Especially that kid in the hat hanging out in the back of the group, he seems really excited by drinking time. The Dartmouth Jack-o-lantern should be credited with that at least. Way to take pride in your school, Jack-o-lantern. The marching band led by the giant keg is a particularly good addition, setting the over-the-top party ambiance perfectly. Well done.

Key Moment: Starting at 3:27, listen for the tour guide - “regardless of what you might have heard about Dartmouth students drinking a lot, I would say - for the most part - uhhhhh, it’s not true, we party no harder or no more than any other school.” He says, giant keg parading through the background. Good luck selling that one buddy.

This is one of those videos that just gets better and better as it goes along. Watch as this mob changes technique from prank to prank, escalating the hilarity each time. I actually stopped writing this twice already to re-watch the whole thing - it’s that funny.

Thank you Troop of the One-Hundred. You truly made my day.

Mets fans truly are the greatest fans in the world. Here they are showing that famous NYC hospitality to this poor dude passed out during the second half of a doubleheader. What’s amazing is how into this the crowd gets. F*ck the game, this is way more entertaining. Plus Johan Santana pitched the first game anyhow.

The video is a little long, but worth it. You can do some light skipping and still get the flavor. How this guy doesn’t wake up I’ll never know. Definitely watch till the end, you won’t be disappointed. Damn security ruining it for everyone.

A few videos here. The first is the full version, definitely a must see. The second is the guy signing autographs on beer bottles for a kid, also a must see, plus it’s only 30 seconds. The last is Howard Stern’s reaction to the prank, take it as you will.

NOTE: despite all the noise and hubbub, this guy wakes up instantly when someone takes the beer from his hand… hmmm, that kind of dedication is what got him in this situation in the first place.

#2: Autograph Signing

#3: Howard Stern Reaction

You’ve probably seen this already, if you haven’t well I don’t know what to say. You obviously don’t have enough free time on your hands. Amazing enough that it has to be mentioned here.

I love the guy that starts flipping out. “How long has this been happening?” he says, suddenly the protagonist in a blockbuster sci-fi film. “It’s like everybody,” he mutters, shocked at the sudden turn of events. How will he ever save humanity from impending doom? Captain Jeanjacket-Hoodie to the rescue!

This video spawned a variety of copycats around the world, each less entertaining as the novelty wears off. Oh well.

Extra, extra read all about it, a prank with some meaning. A group of political activists printed out over a million fake copies of the New York Times and distributed them to commuters in NYC. Among the stories, the Iraq War comes to an end, higher education is entirely free, and oil has been nationalized with income going to fight climate change.

The fake papers were indistinguishable except for the date: July 4, 2009. I wonder how many people just flipped straight to the sports section…

And here are some additional reactions, gets better as it goes along:
