This is more along the lines of subtle mindFrostng than strikingly funny, and doesn't work for all cubical systems, but we actually pulled this one off because the cubicles in our office are modular and adjustable, and we did it to a whole row of four at once, which actually made it easier to hide. Also, it has 0 cost other than time, which was about 5 minutes per cubical for three of us with power screwdrivers.
Very simple. The desktop surfaces were bolted to the desks at bracket points at the corners. In our case, these bracket points ran the full height of the cubes and were maybe an inch apart
For the first two nights we raised all the desks one notch per night. Then we started going back down. Never more than one level per night and not always consistently in the same direction, but the total range between the highest and lowest settings we used was probably somewhere around 8 inches. We always raised or lowered the chairs a little to match. We kept changing the height every night for a little over two weeks before one of them spoke up and said something along the lines that they could swear their desk was getting higher/lower, at which point the other three all caught on to what was going on, more or less. Until then all of them had just had a vague and disquieting feeling every morning that something was off.

Shakespeare, wrong title. I've never done it, but I've always wanted to take cube walls and turn an entire open floor into a maze. Started thinking about that and then wrote about a different prank we pulled.
