Let’s learn about the greatest pranks of all time and then some ideas on the best student pranks.
Greatest College Pranks of All Time In History
Lady Liberty Takes a Soaking
In the spring of 1978, two students at the University of Wisconsin ran for student government as candidates of the Pail and Shovel Party. To their astonishment, they got elected. Like all good leaders, the pair vowed to make good on their campaign promise, which was to move the Statue of Liberty from New York City to Lake Mendota near campus. No one took them seriously. Until, one day in February, rising up out of the frozen lake was Lady Liberty herself. Her gigantic green head and glowing torch floated above the icy surface. The two pranksters told everyone that they’d had the statue flown in by helicopter, but the cable holding it had broken and Lady Liberty crashed through the ice. The real story: They had the statue built out of wire, papier maché, and plywood and then hauled it onto the lake.
A Tough Parking Spot
MIT is famous for its audacious, tech-savvy students. Over the years, students have placed many objects on top of the campus’s 15-story Great Dome, including a fake cow, a piano, a small house, and a giant nipple. In 1994, they managed to park a campus police car, complete with a dummy officer in the driver’s seat, on the curved roof. To do it, they took the car apart, hauled the pieces up the side of the building using a system of rollers, then reassembled the vehicle and even got the lights on the roof to flash. Then they placed a ticket on the windshield, since after all, the car was in a no-parking zone.
Politicians Are Animals
Most of the best student pranks have relatively trivial consequences, but in 1959, a group of students in Sao Paulo, Brazil, managed to swing an election when they got a five-year-old rhinoceros named Cacareco elected to city council. The four-legged candidate won by a landslide, garnering 100,000 votes, one of the highest totals for a local candidate in Brazil’s history to that point. The students had ballots printed up with Cacareco’s name on them and then got thousands of voters to send them in. “Better to elect a rhino than an ass,” commented one voter. After Cacareco won, the head of the zoo where she lived demanded that the rhino receive a councilman’s salary, but the election was nullified before any paychecks were cut. Today Cacareco’s memory lives on in the expression “Voto Cacareco” which is used in some parts of Brazil to mean “protest vote.”

Student Pranks Ideas
A Confusion of Pigs
Some of the best student pranks involve animals, but remember if you use an animal for your mischief, learn about the safety of the animals. In this hilarious prank, one of the best high school pranks of all time, students obtained three small pigs, placed the numbers 1, 2, and 4 on them, then released them in a confined area in the school. Confusion reigned as school officials searched with diligence for the third pig that didn’t exist. This can work with any animal. Just make sure you let them loose in a space where they can’t run off campus or get hit by vehicles.
School LARP-Out
One of the wildest and best student pranks was done by a high school class, who had a taste for drama and geekery. They organized a class walk-out, but it was not to protest. They walked out to LARP (Live Action Role Playing). Yes, they dressed as knights, wizards, and warrior maidens, and conducted a shameless LARPing session on the front lawn of the high school. Students even set up a medieval water balloon catapult!
Lost Classrooms
Another one of the best student pranks was designed for the incoming freshmen. On the first day of school, seniors switched the numbers on the classes, then sat back and watched as bewildered newbies wandered the campus scratching their heads. One student reportedly couldn’t find his history class for two days!
School for Sale on Craig’s List
An Arkansas high school made it on MTV for their prank idea. They listed their school for sale on Craigslist for $2,015 or best offer. Their senioritis was so intense they were willing to sell their educators to the highest bidder. The prank resulted in some very confused phone conversations at the desk of the school’s administrative assistant. On a positive note, the students pledged in their ad to use the proceeds of the sale for their college education.
Prom Proposal Prank
This prom proposal prank made the New York Post in 2017. A creative, rascally young Romeo convinced the local police department to help him invite his girlfriend to prom. A police officer pulled her over one day, and just as her panic mode reached 11, the officer handed her a ticket. Except the ticket was fake, and it was a signed note from the boyfriend that said, “Will you go to prom with me?”
