Years ago my mate had a Fiat Cinquecento which for those who don't know are really small cars. One time when he parked it in a parking bay (not parallel parked!) a group of us lifted it and turned it 90 degrees in the bay so he couldn't get out.
Best prank you have done/been involved with?

haha, I was told a similar story by a friend at Cambridge. I think it actually happened a number of years ago.
Basically the Eng students created a crane in one of the buildings and somehow craned a Mini onto the roof of the Kings Chapel (or one of the similarly iconic buildings). Apparently it had to be disassembled by hand and taken down in parts. They couldn't work out for the life of them how it had happened...
My turn:
Turned a flatmates room upside down (bed etc...)
Stuck a load of plastic cups and mugs filled with water outside a friends room. He could only get out by either spilling them, or emptying them one at a time...
Put washing up liquid in a friends cistern (that was a good one xD)

there was a graduate working with us briefly. she took us out for lunch one day and when we got into her car (an old style punto) there was screwed up newspaper everywhere - loads of it. when we questioned her it turns out that she went away for the weekend and her house mates had filled her entire car with screwed up newspaper - all from the FT.
mine was when i was in halls some time ago, if you know the Viz you'll know the style of the fake ads they have (unsuitable for a family forum
). I basically created one about sperm donation - feeling short have a tug etc and "sorry girls you can't get paid but you can help" etc - it was well funny tbh. i printed it out and posted on various notice boards around the place - it really didn't go down well. boring buggers

So we had enough so we left him one we spat an coughed flem into. And we all had a big smile as we watched him drink it
I dipped my balls in my mates pint glass the other day. He had a big slurp, then we all laughed. I came clean, and downed the rest of the drink like a mans man.
Two spring to mind:
1) We froze a can of shaving foam (standard -20 freezer for about 4 days), cut it open and threw the frozen cylinder in a mate's room when he left for uni. When he returned, his room was filled floor to ceiling with chaving foam.
2) Gummi bears in the shower head. Peopel had showers and came out all sticky (as the hot water melts the gummi bears a little bit). What's the first thing they do when they notice? Hope back in the shower
Then there's a few classics - clingfilming a mate's room (and I mean everything - the clothes in his wardrobe, every book on his shelves, individual roach ends in his ashtray, the works. Took us about 4 hours), making a room full of passed-out peopel at a house party wet themselves, glueing hundreds of fake plastic spiders to my mate's twin sisters' bedroom window at 4 in the morning (bay window, was totally covered), etc etc.

I dipped mine into my mates in the pub a while back, his boss drank it by mistake. Who funnily enough is soon to be my boss, I think he has forgiven me now though!
Forged a letter from a solicitors to my housemate saying her PC had be identified for downloading pirated material from bittorrent and she must pay a fine of £4000. Found several similar genuine letters from people online who had actually been fined so my replica looked the real deal.
She didn't talk to me for ages

I knew a bloke at work that went onto some Drum n' Bass chat rooms. Anyway, One night shift myself, The guy I worked with and the security guard decided on the off chance to try and find him. Anyway, After about 30mins of watching the chat we had a few signs what his username was. We started a private chat to find out a bit more about him (We was pretending to be some fit bird, The perfect bait) and after a few questions we knew it was him. Bingo! We knew the next few hours were going to be fun We were sending out supposed pictures of what we looked like and he started sending some back. We told him we lived in a town a few miles down the road and it got to the point that he was going to leave the house to see us. It was at this moment we revealed that it was his work mates stringing him along and wasting his entire night. He didn't reply for a good 5 minutes. Meanwhile the 3 of us laughed like never before and still do to this day when we talk about it some 6 years later lol

One or two over my time, all of them I was the orchestrator to be honest 
Some of them were some time ago now.
1. Broke into a mates room and clingfilmed EVERYTHING. This included his shirts, books, bed, goldfish, porn, cupboards, windows, etc.
2. Back when I finished 6th form college we planned to get revenge on our head of college (she was a witch). On the last day of college we grabbed her car keys and shoved confetti and flour into her air con vents, turned them up full and the stereo on loud for when she started the car. We then snook into her office and slipped kippers into the ceiling tiles. They remained there for the rest of the summer holidays, needless to say, the place stunk.
3. When I was 18 my mate started getting some grief from another lad all over a girl (childish indeed). Well we stooped even lower as I worked part time in a kitchen I grabbed an industrial size pack of cling film one shift. We knew this guy was ever so proud of his new mini his parents bought him so at 2am we drove to his home (in fact we rolled the car down the hill to his place, with lights and engine off - STEALTH!!). We crept onto their drive and wrapped his car, over and under, completely in cling film. He had to cut it out with scissors.
4. Filled a swing bin with water and leant it against my flat mates door. When he woke up the next morning he got wet feet and his carpet stunk like wet dog.
5. I spent at least 2 weeks chatting my mate up on MSN pretending to be a girl. Naturally I was blonde, single and hot. I sent him photos of "myself" (it was actually my mates GF) and made up a story about my life and what I do. I downloaded a program that allowed me to run two instances of MSN messenger and logged in as the real me at the same time. I had him telling me all these things about this girl he is chatting up and he thought he was "in there". I played along and asked all kinds of questions, he even invited me into the conversation with "her" which was surreal because it meant I had to talk to myself as her and say hi. I even sent myself private messages behind my mates back telling me I thought he was hot. I;d then screen grab and send these convos to my mate saying "MATE LOOK AT THIS!! YOU'RE IN!". I got him to come on webcam for me and show me his muscles. I kept this up for about 2 weeks, it was better than tv! After that I had to succumb to his constant nagging to see me on webcam. I had him on cam as I switched mine on. The confusion then horror on his face when he finally noticed it was me, amazing!
Check out the flexing of his arm
6. More recently, probably my best prank; I was in Afghanistan and away from my then girlfriend. We agreed to go on holiday together as soon as I got home from det. In my spare time out there I planned the trip. I told her a trip to Jersey would be nice. She thought it was an odd destination but I convinced her it was a nice place. I linked her to the hotel and all the nice activities we could get up to. I told her we were flying there. So I return to the UK from AFG and we pack our suitcases. We get to the airport and queue for boarding. She suddenly clocks "Marrakech" on the check-in board. I convince her that the plane makes two stops, calling at Jersey en route!! (This girl was studying Law). I got her on the plane and after 45 mins she exclaims that the journey to Jersey shouldn't take as long as that (she researched the flights prior). At this point I tell her we're actually going to Morrocco. She freaks and all our neighbour passengers find it highly amusing. I won the bet with her mother that I could do it though.
NB: I'm not proud of some of these things, they're very childish and bad

Tonnes mostly from school/teenage years (a long time ago) but these are off the top of my head :
- Filling half a dozen condoms with just a little bit of milk and putting them in my mates fridge after a house party, when he went to do bacon and eggs the next morning his face was priceless.
- Same mate before he moved out, at his parents house decided to have a house party (he was totally out of it) so we moved most of the garden into the lounge, large plant pots, potted trees, gnomes, lawnmower - the lot. Someone also left a power hose going through his parents bedroom and cooked up a concoction of basically everything in the fridge into a massive pot in the kitchen. Unfortunately for him, his mum came home early from holiday that same day
- At school aged 13/14 I was renowned for my impressions of people, one particular mate was obsessed with my impressions and I used to go round his house to play on his Amiga (RIP). I did a great Denis Norden - long story short we ended up phoning random people and we had a line that we wanted them to appear on a new show for the BBC, I would be Denis Norden and my mate his manager. After a few amusing but fruitless attempts we got through to a woman who was starstruck and couldn't believe it and it happened to be that her daughter worked for the BBC! Anyway, she agreed to speak to her husband about it and could we phone the following night. I happened to be going to round there again the following night, so he suggested we follow it up. I phoned the woman again and she said after speaking with her husband and daughter, she would like to politely decline. I acted confused and said that she could not decline, but she insisted - so in my best Denis Norden voice told her that her daughters job was to be terminated and she actually believed it! Started pleading with me down the phone. I came clean in the end, luckily she and her husband saw the funny side.
- Every time I get a new mobile number, I text a selection of random mates, saying that they have won a prize of some sort or cash and to text back with the word YES. Normally one of them bites and I string it out for a few days, dangling the prize money ever nearer before revealing my true identity.
- Put a large bottle of washing up liquid in a large water feature fountain type thing. It was in the middle of my old home town after a couple of flushes of the water, the entire street was filled with bubbles absolutely everywhere on a busy Friday night.
- Walked through a busy town centre with a mate on a Saturday both with rolls of cellotape in each hand just zigzagging and watching it attatch to people and things all the way down the street, causing general chaos.
- Painted my art teachers white fluffy bunny red and yellow, with a note saying "Happy birthday - from the lads" not much of prank but his face was priceless..

One other, but this happens quite a bit on all military camps;
recently got a new guy on the unit fresh out of training to go to the photographers with his respirator for his "ID 10 T". The photgraphy section is in on this prank so they know what it means when a new recruit turns up to their studio clutching a respirator and announcing they are there for their ID 10 T photograph. Amazing when their photo is emailed back to us; the new guy proudly sat wearing his respirator and holding a plaque with their name, service number and the letters ID10T

I had a workmate in the 80s who would only listen to American AOR band STYX.
He was obsessed and when I tried to play similar material he wouldn't have it and this got on my nerves.
We had another bloke on the factory who got hold of lots of bootlegs and rare recordings and my workmate had bought a few STYX tapes off him.
I then came across a South African band called Stingray who sounded exactly like STYX and the singer sounded like Dennis De Young who normally sang 60% of STYX songs.
This album even had an opening track called Sweet Paradise and a famous album by STYX was called Paradise Theatre.
The trap was set, the bootleg bloke came round with his list and on it was STYX studio outtakes which my workmate bought and constantly played for 3 months solid saying he couldn't believe the quality of the outtakes and why were they all Dennis De Young songs.
After the millionth time I pulled the album sleeve out of my cabinet and told him to read the song tracks.
He pulled the cassette out of the player and pulled all the tape out so it was spread all over the floor.
He never spoke to me again.

Got hold of a mate's phone and changed the contact number of one a girl I knew he'd slept with recently and changed it to my number. Then preceded to text him that shes pregnant and he'd probably the dad. His face was priceless
I like
I was a member of the Tommy Boyd chat room an IRC channel that followed the tommy Boyd show on Talk radio / Talk sport.
We used to wind up the other presenters on the station with fake calls and e-mails, the focal point being a late night presenter called Charlie Wolf. One night we all e-mailed and called at the sad news Suzie Quatro had died (no idea why we chose her). The station was literally flooded with e-mails txts and calls by die hard fans of a completely over the top nature distraught at the news.
Was very very naughty really but very funny at the time.

In the same building as the Photogs. This happens now and then, so funny!
I wasn't involved with this but it gave me a good chuckle anyway! Coming back from a det in Afghan, a template of an SA80 rifle was made with aluminium speed tape & placed in one of the aircraft techies sack. I'm didn't hear about the consequences after but it must have been funny at the terminal.

Genius. How have I never heard of this before? I've heard of ID 10 T stuff, but not this
