Loading ...If you’re looking for a harmless prank with over-the-top results, hundreds of balloons may just be the answer.
Requirements:
- Time (medium) – you’ll need to fill lots of balloons, but that shouldn’t take too much time if you have help and/or a pump.
- Cost (medium) – you can get balloons for pretty cheap… as of writing this Amazon has a balloon back with 100 multi colored balloons
for $17.19.
- Risk (low) – there’s very little risk with this prank. Nothing should get damaged and it’s pretty easy to clean up.
Steps:
- Fill up a bunch of balloons. They don’t need to be helium filled, just use regular ‘ol air.
- Stuff the balloons into your coworker’s cubicle or office. It works best if you can do it to an office and not a cubicle, but cubicles will still work.
- Try and stuff balloons into drawers, closets, and anything else you can stuff a balloon into. You may need to make smaller balloons to fill the smaller areas.
Result:
Similar to the golf ball prank, you’re coworker will open the door to a bit of chaos. If you’re lucky enough to have an office to fill up, the results will be better as the coworker will actually have a door to open and room to walk into. If you filled up a cubicle, you’re victim will likely see it from far away and it will be a slower build up of a reaction.
This prank is especially good for birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions since balloons are popular with celebrations. I did some digging online and found a video of this prank in action. The victim didn’t quite appreciate it, but hopefully your victim has more of a sense of humor. Anyway, check out this balloon prank video for inspiration.
