Step 1
Use the banana peel. Mainly seen in cartoons and older comedies, the banana peel is a classic gag that unsuspecting victim’s fall for. The thing is, this actually works in real life too, if set up properly. The key to having somebody slip on a banana peel is by having the inner skin facing towards the ground. This way, the moisture and left over parts of the banana slip easily when pressure, such as a foot is applied to it.

Step 2
Consider the benefits of ketchup. Many people like getting people scared or a nervous wreck over nothing and one an easy way to this is with the fake injury. To make an injury look even worse, try using ketchup as blood. Smear it in good though, because a glob just sitting on your face will just make you look like you are a messy fry eater.

Step 3
Use corn syrup. For an even more realistic blood, mix red food coloring and corn syrup together for a tasty and tricky treat.

Step 4
Move beyond the whoopie cushion. Get a little more creative at the dinner table. Many things will work for this and all you need is to cause a little distraction right before somebody sits. Try putting a pie, mustard, pudding, cake, or anything messy down for you to sit in. Just be ready for the food to come flying back at you when they get upset.

Step 5
Use fake stool. Caddyshack performed this gag best, and if it works for you, people will be disgusted. Simply take a Baby Ruth bar or something similar and toss it into a private or local swimming pool. If you want to have a private swim, this will clear the pool quickly, because most people will mistake the candy for something much more unpleasant.
