Pranks

Ghastly little children and zombie corpses in elevators aren't the only things petrifying people around the world this holiday season. It looks like even Frosty himself is getting in on the act to wish us all a very happy (and spooky) holiday.

Ladies and gentleman, prime time prank season is upon us. Why? Everyone's so stinkin' happy around the holidays, and the last thing they'd expect is for an evil prankster to pull out hilarious (and sometimes mean) tricks.

We don't know what's with the recent upswing of pranks popping up online but it seems fairly certain to say we don't mind them. This one -- which features a paralyzingly real-life Tyrannosaurus Rex terrorizing a town's citizens (playfully, of course) -- is the newest piece of mischief that caught our eye.

Even though we're self-proclaimed addicts, Facebook can be super confusing. There's that whole copyrighting thing, for one. Turkeys can be voted for pardoning and a cat petition can get liked 120,000 times. It's a weird, weird world. Recently, one guy decided to take advantage of the social media site's strangeness by playing an awesome prank on fellow users.

Black Friday brings out some of the most hilariously strange antics of us Americans. On Thanksgiving we give thanks for all the great stuff in our lives, and just hours later, we're waiting in massive lines and getting in spats with fellow consumers over the latest deals on video games. That's the good ol' USA for you.

Remember that 'trust fall' game you used to play as a kid? Man, that was scary. In elementary school, it was the game we used to distinguish who the trustworthy friends were and who stunk.

Black Friday is infamous among retail personnel for bringing out the absolute worst in people. Customers are rude, self-centered, and obnoxious. So the guys at Prank Vs. Prank struck back for the employee, dressing up as employees of a certain retail establishment and offering "help"...

If you know anything about us here at TheFW, it's that we love a good, harmless prank. Cell phone crashing and embarrassing people with talking elevators are just a couple we particularly fancy. Basically, we'd like to think of ourselves as joking experts. So when we recently came across a prank we've never before encountered, we took a humble blow to our humor egos and laughed our pants off. Read

This is the fourth installment of "The Intelevator" from 'I kveld med Ylvis,' a Norwegian talkshow on TV Norge hosted by brothers Bård Ylvisåker and Vegard Ylvisåker.

Not content with typical card tricks or a rabbit in a hat, magician Rich Ferguson puts a spooky Halloween spin on his act by literally losing his head in front of freaked-out spectators. How in the world does he do it?
