7 Best Apartment Pranks Ever Caught on Video
Sep 13th, 2007 by Memphis Apartments
We all know that living with another person can be a stressful experience.
A recent Apartments.com survey indicates that more than eighty-two percent of renters surveyed state that they currently have, or have had, a roommate, and of the renters who have had a roommate, twelve percent say they enjoy having a roommate so much they would not rent without one.
Note that only twelve percent enjoyed the roommate experience enough to say that they would never rent without a rooommate in the future. So why do the other eighty eight percent of renters not fall head of heals in love with the ideal of living with a roommate in their future. There could be various reasons, but we believe that the majority of the disenchanted have fallen victim to the roommate prankster. You know the one, the roommate that is always thinking of a way to make their fellow roommates soil their under garments or at the very least seek out professional help due to the trauma inflicted by this prankster.
Today we salute the roommate prankster with what we believe are the 7 best apartment pranks ever caught on video. Enjoy.
Note: Strong language is used in some of the videos.
The Cold Shoulder and Various Other Body Parts
Our first video was chosen because although the victim will probably develop a deep fear of showers and water for several years to come, he seemed to be a good sport and once he was able to regain blood flow in all of his extremities he was actually able to laugh about the prank.
A New Version of Tag and You’re It
Ok, we may have all thought about it, but we like most normal people have filters that stop us from pulling the next roommate prank. I guess this guy didn’t have that filter, but at least he did have the foresight to get the entire prank on video.
Sleeping Fourth of July
This poor guy will never be able to attend another Four of July event without getting nervous.
Just Hanging Around
We just thought that the next video was cute and unique. It takes very little planning and does the job of traumatizing a roommate quite well.
So What’s Here to Eat?
Feel the need to have your roommate associate fear with food. Then you will like the next rooommate prank video. I understand this poor guy screams and goes into a fetal position every time he enters a grocery store.
Classic and Priceless
This video illustrates a classic roommate prank. It requires no advanced notice or planning and results in a priceless memory. If the prank is caught on video, then it becomes timeless, as well as priceless. Add slow motion effects and you can pass this memory on to the grandkids.
Butter isn’t just for Pancakes
The next video was chosen as the best of the seven because it involved planning, setup and flawless execution on the part of the prankster. Needless to say, we can add these two to the list that will not be looking for roommates in future living conditions.
Beware - One of the roommates gets a bit heated in this video, you may want to cover the ears of any little children or sheltered roommates.
