1. Screaming Only

When jumping out of a dark corner just won’t do it, there’s always the classic scream. One (or many) negatives, you may get attacked by unsuspecting victims amongst putting yourself in other dangerous situations.

2. I’m Just Driving Officer

You know something is up, when a police officer asks you to move his patrol car due to being stuck in a porta-potty. Fortunately, Just for Laughs was there to capture it all on video.

3. Crash Landing

Even the most courageous of bystanders get stirred up when they spot a crashed UFO in the street, or at least until they realize it’s just a prank to bring out the chicken in them.

4. Milk Please

Just when you thought your coffee fix was taken care of, this rigged machine just comes and sucks it all back up. Sneaking around back to see what went wrong might net the prankster a knuckle sandwich to say the least.
