Prank 30: Getting Married

In a previous post I mentioned Wedding Betting, a clever website that allows users to upload photos of themselves and their partner and have visitors guess how long the marriage will last. Well, with this prank you’ll be putting your victim’s picture up there and having some fun with it,

Requirements:

  • Time (low) - just get a digital photo of your victim and upload it to the site, it’s really quick and easy.
  • Cost (none) - this prank won’t cost you a thing.
  • Risk (low) - there’s very little risk with this prank. The only risk is if your coworker gets overly upset at how you did the prank.

Steps:

  1. Get the funniest digital photo of your victim that you can. The photo needs to include the victim and another person, animal, or object, depending on how far you want to go. For example, if you have a picture with your victim and an inflateable doll, that’d be great, though it may get pulled down from the site as it’s an obvious joke. If you want your picture to have a chance of staying up on the site for awhile, put a picture up with another person. Some good ideas include having the other person be somebody the person has a secret crush on, somebody that’s the same sex, or somebody the person really hates (like the boss).
  2. Upload the picture to the site Wedding Betting and fill out some backstory on the couple, making it as funny as possible.
  3. Send the link out to all your coworkers to have them see it and cast their votes.
  4. After everybody else has seen it, send the link to your victim.

Result:

This is one of those pranks that exploits the embarassment factor for its humor. When your victim visits the site and sees the photo up there they should freak out pretty good if you picked a good picture. Let them know your fellow coworkers have seen it and have voted on it for an added bonus.

You could also send the link to your victim in the same email that you send it to everybody else so that your victim will know right away who has seen the picture.
