If you’ve ever worked in customer-facing environments, chances are you’ve encountered Karens. These eccentric middle-aged women love to stir up drama at work and break social norms without much consequence.
They can be like the soccer mom who insists you RSVP to her son’s birthday party even if you don’t know him. These kinds of requests can be highly irrational and downright annoying.
1. The Junk Bucket Prank
The junk bucket is an iconic feature in churches across America, but one woman’s attempt to use hers as a makeshift office desk made headlines this week. But she is far from alone; the bucket has long been a favorite among pranksters – as evidenced by this recent reenactment of the pixie princess.
However, the bucket has some advantages as well. For example, it has an alarm system to alert your significant other that you’re leaving the premises. While this prank could be done for yourself or with someone trusted, now may not be the ideal time for one such misstep to occur. So next time you feel particularly daring, why not test it out on someone close to you – though success odds may be slim, the reward may still be worth it!
2. The Judge Prank
If you’ve ever watched a Judge Judy episode, you’ll know she can be quite harsh when dealing with rude and entitled individuals. In fact, Judge Judy even has her own show called Judge Judy’s Family Court to address these matters.
In this prank, the Karens donned white suits and wigs and pretended to be on a judge’s panel. Of course, it was all a bit over the top, giving everyone involved a slight slap in the face.
There was much laughter, and the judge kept telling them to stop interrupting her while she made sure they understood her message. It was a hilarious video and an excellent example of how to play the Judge Prank effectively.
Women often fall prey to this prank due to their entitlement and closed-minded attitude. They demand to speak with the manager and use their privilege to go in their own direction at the expense of others, often acting with racism, homophobia, and false accusations such as not wearing a mask.
One of the first pranks I witnessed was played on an elderly lady at a grocery store. She asked to speak to the manager because she didn’t want to wear a mask, yet the store had an official policy that all customers must wear one. Even though there’s no way of knowing if she has any allergies or medical conditions, it still irked me that this person felt they weren’t being treated fairly.
Karen then proceeded to tell the manager about this policy, threatening to file a lawsuit if they didn’t alter it. It was an example of Karen refusing to compromise, making for an even funnier situation.
Try this prank with your group as a fun way to discuss various sticky situations. In this prank, there are 40 cases for you to decide what should happen and it’s easy enough for any size group to execute.
3. The Family Prank
Are you searching for a fun way to get your family in the spirit of April Fool’s Day? Try these hilarious pranks that can be done with anything in the house – it’s sure to make everyone laugh! These activities make great activities for all ages to participate in!
If your parents are afraid of spiders or other creepy crawlies, this prank is for them! Simply unroll a piece of toilet paper slightly and draw an unsettling spider on it. Then roll it back up again and watch for their reaction!
This simple prank will have your parents shocked and searching for their shower keys! The best part? You can do it while they’re sleeping so they won’t notice until morning!
Another hilarious prank that will surely get your family laughing is the “short sheet” prank. This simple yet effective trick involves simply one sheet of paper tied off with either ribbon or bow, and when your parent gets into bed they will be delighted when their feet hit the fold in the paper!
Khloe Kardashian’s boyfriend Scott Disick pulled one of the most iconic pranks when he pretended to be Todd Kraines and called Kris Jenner at random. Everyone in her family laughed out loud at this one-of-a-kind move, making it one of the most unforgettable in history.
But that isn’t the only time we’ve encountered a rude Karen prank. In 2020, footage emerged of a woman leaving a bar who did not take well to being told she couldn’t come back in. After licking the door several times and failing to gain entry, she started throwing herself against the glass and screaming at whoever was filming her – further proof that she is far from being an upstanding individual.
It is essential to remember that not all rude people are bad. Unfortunately, some can go too far and make everyone’s lives miserable. This video illustrates the potential disaster that can ensue when someone holds power over others. This serves as a stark reminder that you should never have the ability to dictate someone else’s actions or how they should act.
4. The Slob Prank
One of the great joys of a well-executed prank is that it can be played on all types of people — even those who seem quite entitled. On this week’s episode of Tyler Perry’s Sistas, Queen Koodoll herself became the target of an expertly executed prank in her own right.
The prank was ingenious, as it involved plenty of snark. Though a bit challenging to execute, the plan worked and left the koodolls at home. Most importantly, though, was how much fun people had watching it unfold! Unfortunately, the prank didn’t reach its intended recipient; thus, I think there will need to be another attempt. Most importantly, remember to do your research and follow through with instructions provided. Finally, your goal should be to demonstrate your prank in a positive light. The best way to do that is by being upfront with whomever you’re playing it off on — they’ll likely appreciate it. Furthermore, remember that a successful prank isn’t just about taking money; it’s also about providing customers with an exceptional experience.
