Do You Like Practical Jokes?

A funnel, I suppose...

now I'm gagging

Im pissed off!

I yam what I yam and I AM a prankster at times, if the moment is right.

They can be a lot of fun, engaged in some office wars now :)

Pay back is a bitch though.. ;)~

They are not mean, but they are a waste of time . . . More like "Meaningless" than mean.

Yeah as long as it's all in good fun bring it!

No, I don't, but imagining them can be fun. Doing them is another story.

They're annoying and sophomoric.

i get secondhand embarrassment, so it's not even funny most of the time.

OMG my family is crazy and always playing practical jokes on each other or teasing.

And as long as its not to me. Mean.

Haha. That was going to be my answer :-)

I consider myself to have a great sense of humour, but I just do not like practical jokes. I guess I don't like to see people embarrassed.

I find them to be immature......and if this makes any sense things are a lot funnier when they just happen naturally.(by mistake) I think also when someone inflicts humor upon someone else to just sit back and laugh their prob. just insecure about them selves. It also depends on where the line is cause some people just go over that line a little too much and today it seems people are just to f'n uptight to take a damn joke.

I think they can be done tastefully, though.

I used to play jokes on the kids I worked with at a daycare... they LOVED it. But, I suppose that would be where the immaturity of it comes in. ;-)

What kind of pranks did you play on the kids?

Just simple things... have them lean in to inspect a ring, and end up with a puff of air in their face (you're supposed to put water in those rings, but I thought that would have been a little too mean), or I'd take those things you can buy that are meant to fly out of a birthday card... I'd put them in a book, then have the child open the book, so it would come flying out at them.

Sounds fun.

and as long as people and animals are not mistreated ....

<3 this comment!

I should have given some more details:

There are, of course certain limits to jokes, practical ones or those pictured and told.

I can mention that I had lately an accident caused by a young lady in a garden centre, who pushed a low caddie from behind a pile of merchandises right into my feet. I lost balance and went to crash into another pile of packed goods. This lady laughed and did not ask me if I was hurt or help to rebuild the pile from boxes all spread on the floor. Luckily, no damage happened and nobody was hurt. A kind employee came, said that there was no problem and arranged the pile.

I don't mind laughing about a funny situation, but if you cause an accident, the least thing is to check at once if somebody was hurt and if there has been a damage.

My tennis teacher told me that once, when he was a small child, he was pushed into the water by an irresponsible kid and nearly drowned, as he could not swim yet. Luckily, his father was there in time and saved him.

There are also many indecent jokes which are not funny and which only hurt feelings.

I had a friend who "jokingly" pushed me into traffic... definitely an example of inappropriate humour.
I love a good joke, but some people can go much too far.

This is indeed no joke, it is irresponsible and dangerous.
I hope that you were not hurt.
There is a big difference between a good joke and endangering people.

I wasn't hurt... he ended up hurt (I was only 15, so I reacted rather childishly and beat the snot out of him). ;-)

I can understand you - as a school child, I would have done the same ...
Childish, but one must defend oneself.

MEAN, OR JUST STUPID.

I never loved any of it. It either hurts or wastes someone's precious time.

Not always... it can be done innocently enough.
I used to play little jokes on the kids I worked with in a daycare, all the time... they absolutely loved it. The trick to practical joking is not doing something that will actually frighten, disturb, or hurt the other person. No child was ever hurt from getting a puff of air in the face, when they lean in to inspect a ring... the usual response is a giggle, followed by "do it again!"

Good... I would have appreciated practical jokes if you were the one doing that to me as a child.

can't be serious all of the time ;] gotta have fun

my family is full of practical jokers... you never know what to expect...

sounds like fun ; mine are humor impaired .

love practical jokes.

I hate them myself

But this one is still funny

I'm not a fan of being on either end of such gags.

lol
