Destroying thousands of dollars is fun, but you know what's even better? Making someone think you've destroyed thousands of dollars. Their dollars. As well as being the basis of every action-heist movie double-cross ever, this was the idea behind this expert MacBook decoy.
As well as repairing his dad's MacBook, master prankster freefallgrue built a replica out of old and broken parts and took it to his (extremely stylish) father's place that evening. In a masterpiece of casual destruction, he shouts "Catch!" and spins the laptop across the room to inevitable, agonizing and extreme-swear-inducing destruction. The great thing about shouting "Think fast!" is it prevents your target from thinking at all, and the father fell for it hook, line and destroyed personal property.
Not pictured: screams of JEEEEEEESUS FUUUUUUU.....
BONUS: Like all the best pranks, the moment of sheer terror is followed by more relief than customer appreciation day in an executive massage salon.
The year my daughter was born she was the only girl in a nursery full of boys at church. So when the nursery ladies saw us coming down the hall they got all a flutter.
One day I was walking down the all towards them holding the empty car carrier with the back towards them and the sunshield up. I could see them vibrating with anticipation.
When I was about 20 feet from the entrance to the nursery, I pretended to let the carrier drop from my hand and slam to the floor.
Sheer terror crossed their faces until I started laughing.
That's a great prank, I have to admit. The reaction is awesome! He took a bit of a gamble though, who knows if the father would react in anger or what have you...
When my son was 3 weeks we were walking down a busy sidewalk and my wife was carrying him, leaving me with the empty car seat/carrier. So I did what any responsible dad would do. I look lovingly into the seat and said, ready....and then I slowly swung it back and forth higher and higher, and then all the way around. The gasps of the passerby's were hilarious.
It would have been funnier if the kid threw a MacBook and a baby! Something tells me that a Dad who says "Frost Me With a Fork" is weird enough to go for the laptop instead of the baby.
