Five Fun And Geeky April Fools Pranks

Daily “You Are Awesome” phone calls

This will cost you $40 a month, so it’s a bit costly but this service is worth it if you get the right victim. Every day, a real person will call your victim to tell him or her just how awesome they are. If they don’t pick up the phone, they’ll get an awesome voicemail. “Hello Holly, my name is Paul and I’m calling to tell you that you’re awesome!”

Do The Mouse Button Switcharoo

Imagine the right click performing left click functions and vice versa. Just click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel and find the option for your Mouse. On the “buttons” tab, switch the primary and secondary buttons of the mouse. Watch chaos ensue as they click their mouse buttons.

Setup their PC with a Blue Screen of Death Wallpaper

This wallpaper is based on the old Windows error. Set this or a similar blue screen of death (BSOD) wallpaper on their unattended PC and watch as they cringe when they see it. I enjoyed some of the language on this image. “THX 4 US1N M1CROSOFT W1NDOWS, YO.”

The Printscreen Prank

This one can lead to interesting results. Just find a window that either your friends frequent or that spells disaster, then grab a printscreen by clicking the Windows + Printscreen button. Then paste it in a word document and open the document. You’ll have fun watching as your they try to figure out why clicking icons or anything on the screen just isn’t working.

Use Prank Dial to Prank Your Coworkers

This is fun to do and very enjoyable to observe the confusion your victim will have when listening to the call then attempting to respond. Simply pick a prank call to use, enter the number for it to dial, then enjoy. Another fun site to prank is Prank Dialer.

I hope you’ve found a prank you’ll try. There’s nothing like having a little fun and setting the mood with a good ole prank.
