Ah, the sweet, sweet taste of revenge! You will surely be sick of being outsmarted, of being outclassed and ridiculed by your brother. Well, the time has come to take your revenge by making your brother scream, squirm, or just go completely insane from your crazy pranks! If you're looking for some great ideas, check out Step 1 to get started.
Steps
Part 1 of 7: Surprise
Step 1. Plan a surprise attack from the closet
It is an absolutely brilliant plan. First, choose a time when your brother doesn't think you can be home and when there is no one else. Then, hide in a closet away from him, maybe your own. At this point, quietly call home from your mobile. When your brother answers the phone, tell him you need him to go to your closet (or any other closet you've decided to hide in) and check something for you. Then, as soon as he opens the closet, you leap forward towards him and exclaim "Boo!". He will never expect to find you there and freak out! You can hold it back for years.
Step 2. Ring the bell and immediately hide in a large box in front of the front door
The first sentence already explains everything. Find a large cardboard box that closes from the top that you can get into, place it in front of the outside entrance to the house, then ring the bell and jump inside the box, making sure to close it on top of you quickly. When your brother opens the door and approaches the box, you can jump out of it! This is sure to make him scream. It works best if you ring the doorbell when he's a bit away from the door so he doesn't answer fast enough to see you jump into the box.
If you can't find any cardboard boxes large enough around the house, then you can get some at your local grocery store. Just ask an employee for one - many shops often give away the boxes they have left over
Step 3. Give him a good scare
Wait until he's so busy figuring out what's going on with his computer that he doesn't even notice who else is in the room. If you can do this at night, when most of the lights are off, that's even better. Put on a creepy clown mask, from Scream, or from Jason, and slowly crawl towards him until you practically have breath on his neck. At this point, let out a guttural, terrifying scream, and you will see that it will blow up more than a meter above the ground.
If you also have another friend or sibling who can stand up like a cat, he or she will be able to film the whole thing so that you can use the footage as blackmail
Part 2 of 7: While he's sleeping …
Step 1. Try to put whipped cream on his face in his sleep
This is another classic. Wait for your brother to fall asleep deeply. It works best if it's on your back, with your arms out of the sheets. At this point, carefully squeeze some whipped cream into one of his palms (if you really have no mercy, you can use shaving cream too!). Then, use a pen or something small and light to brush his face. He'll be the one to reach out with the whipped cream, quickly spreading that stuff all over his face!
If you want to make it work every time, you can put whipped cream on both hands
Part 3 of 7: Old but reliable jokes
Step 1. Place a bucket of water over a door
This is an old classic. You just have to open a door halfway and place a bucket full of water on it so that it hangs between the wall and the top of the door. As soon as your brother opens it, he will take an unexpected little shower! It would be preferable to do this in the kitchen or in another part of the house where it doesn't matter if water is sprinkled everywhere. Hey, if you can do it somewhere else, that's even better!
Step 2. Put duct tape on all light switches
Put some clear tape over the switches early in the morning. Your brother will still be pretty dazed, wondering why none of the lights in the house work! When he sees you, tell him they cut the power at the house. Wait for him to understand that you are making fun of him. You can also tell him the plumbing isn't working either, and see if he falls for it.
Step 3. Make him a splitter
Wait for your brother to turn his back on you, then sneak up on him, as quietly as possible. Reach your hands down to grab her underwear and pull as high as you can. This is sure to make him scream and squirm! If you really feel up to it for something like that, you can try to make him an atomic sparticule, trying to pull his panties high enough to put them on his head. You can also hang him from a handle or somewhere higher up if he's light enough. This works best if your sibling is much smaller than yours.
Step 4. Change the contents of its drawers
Go to his room and reverse the position of the drawers if you can, or just move the contents of one drawer to another until you've swapped all of his drawers. He will be completely confused for this perfect and unexpected joke. Plus, you'll have the bonus of browsing her stuff while you're doing it! If he asks you if it was you who went to his room, just act like you are oblivious to everything.
Step 5. Put some cotton in your brother's shoes
This is especially fun if your sibling is still growing up. Just stick some cotton in his shoes, and the next time he puts them on he'll think something funny is happening to him, like he's outgrowed for those shoes by now. Maybe he'll hang around like this all day, if he's not smart enough to notice that something funny is going on! Works perfectly with "boots or" sneakers.
Step 6. Stick a piece of paper onto her butt
This is another quick and easy prank to make. Get a piece of paper a similar color to a surface like a sofa or chair, or just any color of your choice if your sibling isn't really paying attention to where he sits. Put some glue or double-sided tape on the piece of paper, and wait for it to go and sit on it. When he gets up, he'll walk around with a paper ticket on his butt! This is an updated version of the always effective "kick me"!
Step 7. Play him the "hands down" joke
It's a funny joke: Show your brother how good you are at balancing a glass of water on your hand with the palm on the table facing down. Bet if he will be able to do it too, perhaps with both hands; he will probably say he is ready to accept the challenge. Then, have him place both palms down on the table while you place two full glasses of water on his back. So, say "Goodbye!" or "Good luck!" and leave the room as if nothing had happened. This way he will find himself trapped - he will have to pour all the water on himself before he can free himself!
Part 4 of 7: Pranks in the bathroom
Step 1. Put some clear polish on her soap
This is another classic. Get some nail polish and coat it with shower soap. When it dries, the soap won't work! Make sure there is no other soap in the shower stall, and that he won't be able to use anything else once he's in there. When he gets out of the shower and tells you his soap isn't working, pretend completely confused. You can also sneakily replace that bar of soap with a clean one, so it would be fun if she tried to prove what happened.
Step 2. Put some food coloring on a bar of soap
Put yellow or other light colored food coloring on the underside of a bar of soap. When your brother goes to the bathroom next time, he'll start washing his hands and wonder why they're getting dirtier and dirtier! And if he comes out of the bathroom with no telltale marks on his hands, then you can still laugh at him for not washing his hands! Just make sure you let everyone else know about your prank so your unsuspecting mother or grandfather won't walk out of the bathroom with yellow hands.
Step 3. Put some red food coloring on his toothbrush
A single drop of red dye at the base of your brother's toothbrush will go totally unnoticed. He will start brushing his teeth and look in the mirror in horror, thinking he has the most sensitive gums in the world. Soon, he'll start looking like a vampire, and maybe he might suspect you've got a hand in it! This prank works best in the morning, when he's too busy running around the house to listen to your pranks!
Part 5 of 7: Mess with food
Step 1. Decorate a sponge like a piece of cake
Take a sponge and cover it with icing, chocolate, sugar beads, or any other sweet your sibling loves. Leave it in an inconspicuous place in the kitchen, perhaps on top of the microwave or even in the fridge, as if to make it look like a piece of cake that is yours that you want no one else to touch. If you bring it yourself, there will be less chance of eating it. So sit back, relax, and wait for him to scream in confusion as soon as he realizes he bit into a common kitchen sponge.
Step 2. Pretend to eat flies
This is another funny joke. Crush a grape in a napkin and then tell your brother you just caught a fly. At this point, take a maniacal look and start laughing as if you've gone out of your mind. Sink your mouth into the napkin and eat the fly, smacking your lips in delight, as soon as you're done chewing it all. Then, just shrug and walk away as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Don't tell him what you really did - he'll never be able to figure it out.
Step 3. Serve him some tasty "Oreos with toothpaste"
This is another true gourmet joke. If your brother is really in love with Oreo cookies, all you have to do is separate the two pods of an Oreo carefully, fill the inside with white toothpaste, and put the two parts back together again. You can also do the same for a handful of Oreos, if you don't know which one it will take exactly. Wait for your brother to take a bite of his favorite cookie, appearing utterly confused and disgusted by what's going on.
Step 4. Make him drink water and vinegar
Wait for your brother to pour himself a glass of water. If you drink some and then leave it unattended, act quickly: just drop a little vinegar into the glass and stir. Wait for his return and for him to take a sip, confused and disgusted. You just have to make sure that the glass is not left unattended for too long, otherwise another member of your family may be drinking that acidic liquid!
Step 5. Add salt and pepper to a drink
Grab a soda your brother is drinking (other than water). Put salt and pepper in it - the more you put the better.
Part 6 of 7: Go crazy with electronics
Step 1. "Break" the remote control
If he loves to zap as much as his typical middle brother, then this will be the perfect prank for him. Just take a small piece of clear tape and cover the remote control light just enough for it to stop working. He will find himself completely lost when he tries to watch his favorite TV show, and maybe even try to put new batteries in the remote before he notices your joke (although he may not notice it at all!). It works best if the TV show they like least is on.
Step 2. Put his game console controller in the jelly
Prepare a box of jelly and pour a layer of it into a container large enough to hold the controller. Use cling film to completely cover the controller, then put it in an airtight bag and seal it to be safe. When the gelatin layer has hardened, place the controller on it, cover it with another layer of liquid gelatin and let it harden. Extract the jelly. Put the controller back and watch your brother freak out.
Step 3. Change your desktop image
If he actually manages to get away from his computer for at least five minutes, change the image on his desktop to something totally ridiculous as fast as you can. Choose one of the "My Little Pony", the "Teletubbies", or choose pictures of the cutest cats you've ever seen. It works best if he has a laptop that he will later use in public, so he will surprise a room full of people with his desktop full of flowers and puppies.
Part 7 of 7: Other Jokes
Step 1. Write fake love letters, perhaps by having a girl who has the same name as a schoolmate sign them, and put them in her backpack
Once he finds them, he will confront the girl or brag about his "conquest" with his friends.
