pranks

In this hilarious video, a group of friends in New Zealand decide to rig the water lines in their buddy’s house so that beer came out of every tap in the house. Then, they set up dozens of cameras all over the house to catch his reaction. It’s a prank that will have frat brothers everywhere drooling with envy.

A good tip can really make a server's day. Just watch this uplifting video for proof.

So remember the video of the twerking girl who accidentally set herself on fire? Remember how we all got a good laugh out of it?

Let this classroom prank be a lesson to all professors about the merits of punctuality.

Planking. Tebowing. Milking. The latest stunt to take over the Internet is here, whether you want it or not. And this time, there's a fast food twist.

Steve Carell made a delightful appearance on 'Ellen' the other day. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that Gru, Steve Carell's character from 'Despicable Me,' made an appearance.

You may be tired of pranks. But here is one where being tired it literally the prank.

You might recognize a few of these faces from last week, when we showed the man on the right, Karl Stefanovic, pranking his co-anchor from Australia 'Today' on the air. He's back, and this time he's trying to eat the world's hottest pie.

It's something only Improv Everywhere could accomplish -- going on to a subway car, making a huge ruckus and not annoying every single person on the train. This time, the team set up a late night-style talk show, complete with desk, comfy chair, backdrop and band. Technically the band was just a guy with a keytar, but we'll allow it.
