It takes a special kind of mischief to look at a friend’s car and say, “Wow, that is a great target for a car prank.” But carrying out a funny car prank also takes a special kind of creativity.
However, we must first make a disclaimer that the following is more of a Top 10 list of funny car pranks than a how-to guide.
We don’t condone doing these auto pranks. While these car pranks don’t increase auto insurance rates or involve anything illegal like vandalism or breaking, we refuse to be responsible for any strained friendships resulting from said auto pranks.
With that in mind, here are America’s funniest car pranks.
Zip Tie on Driveshaft Auto Prank
Tying a zip tie to the rotating driveshaft of the rear wheels of a car creates a noise troubling an unaware auto driver. This is mischievous because the noise of the tie walking the undercarriage sounds like an axle coming loose.
This car prank may require a jack to raise the victim’s car. When it comes time to reveal yourself, the zip tie should be easy to remove from the car. The tie is too frail to cause any damage to the car itself.
Whistling Exhaust Pipe Car Pranks
A car’s exhaust pipe is a playground for auto pranks because air is constantly being ventilated. Woodwind or horn instruments are a favorite for car tricksters to mess with; they tap them to the pipe and wait for the music to start once the victim starts their car.
Kazoos and harmonicas are popular choices as a hidden prank noise maker.
Turn The Car Into a Ball Pit Auto Prank
You can fill a car with colorful plastic balls just like those play areas for kids at McDonald’s and Chuck E Cheese. Just open the sunroof and pour them right in.
The clean-up effort will be worth it to see your friend’s reaction when the balls come pouring out after he opens the driver’s door of his vehicle.
Post-It Note Car Pranks
Turn your friend’s car into your canvas as you create a mosaic with reams of Post-It notes. Create a masterpiece with bright neon sticky notes on their automobile window, hood, or whole car body.
This Post-It note car prank is the most harmless on this list since Post-Its easily peel away. If you did the whole car, the clean-up is the proving ground. It’s best to do something other than the Post-It note auto prank on a windy day.
Exhaust Pipe Balloon Auto Prank
Remember how the exhaust pipe is a constant source of ventilated air? Attaching a giant balloon to the exhaust tailpipe of the victim’s auto can have some hilarious results when your friends get out of their automobile only to be greeted by a huge blown-up balloon at the back of their car. If the balloon pops, then more power to you.
Cars typically have a failsafe for built-up exhaust with the auto engine shutting off, so it’s no real danger. But like all the other vehicle pranks in this post, we can’t recommend it.
Snowing in a Car Auto Prank
While the clean-up of this auto prank is cold, snowing in cars is the hottest auto prank when winter comes around. Pile it in your friend’s car and turn their vehicle into an igloo or inconspicuous mound.
While you don’t want to do this when your friend has to drive to work, it’s fun and good-humored when they make weekend plans and have to be somewhere.
If you’re a true villain, you can put all the snow inside rather than outside the car. Just make sure it’s clean and white -no yellow snow.
Plastic Wrapping a Car Auto Prank
This is another simple car prank with a significant clean-up effort. It all depends on how many rolls of saran wrap you use to wrap your friend’s car like a see-through present on Christmas morning.
Wrap it over and under the car body, sealing all the auto doors. The worst part about plastic wrap is trying to figure out where it starts and ends.
If you want to go the distance, wrap your friend’s car like a present with wrapping paper. At least that will be fun for them to see. But the clean-up remains the same either way.
Fun With Duct Tape Auto Prank
Enough duct tape will hold a car in place or slow it down significantly.
If your friend is fond of parking spots close to lamposts, then you have the best opportunity to duct tape the victim’s car to something like that post.
Car Horn Switch Vehicle Prank
We’ve seen those videos of those auto tricksters that replaced their car’s horn with that of a train. In the hands of an aware driver, a car with a train horn can be a fun toy for spooking people. But this can be a little risky, as other vehicle drivers can be surprised.
It’s better if you fit your car with one. There is no law against horns on cars.
Fun With Toy Cars Auto Pranks
An entertaining and harmless auto prank for when you have access to your friend’s car is to move it from its usual parking spot and replace it with a LEGO or toy car replica. If your friend is an Ant-Man fan, they will appreciate this auto prank.
All the while, you’re keeping the victim’s car safe and out of sight.
Sleep Passenger Auto Pranks
When someone falls asleep in the car while you are driving, they are at your mercy. When bored on a long road trip, some car drivers often scream or tap the car break to wake their passengers.
As expected, the victim woke up shrieking until they realized the car was still upright and everything was fine.
Parking Spot Switcharoo Vehicle Prank
Suppose you have access to your friend’s car while they are running an errand or at work. You can have fun with their parked car by moving the auto to another spot.
It seems like low-bearing fruit, but after a day of work, your friend will be in no mood for games.
Breaking The Horn Auto Prank
We all know that car driver who brakes too much or abruptly. To teach them a lesson, you can wire the car horn to the auto brake system so that the horn sounds every time they press down on the pedal.
Parking Sideways in a Garage Auto Prank
If you have the parking skills, you can park your friend’s car sideways in the garage. Not only does it look just plain wrong, but your victim may not be able to move the vehicle: the smaller your friend’s car, the better.
