Due to the popularity of the original 8 Stupid Dorm Room Pranks, I have compiled a second installment. If you just came here to get some pranks, look at the other stuff, too. I bust my ass to write good articles and you just might learn something.

Without further ado…

*DISCLAIMER* You know your university and how strict it may be. I share these all in good fun.

(Miss Part One? Here it is.)

Mummification

You aren’t dealing with the undead, but you will definitely wake up hell with this one. While your victim is in a long class or on vacation, pick up a ton of Saran wrap. If you aren’t familiar with Saran wrap it is VERY clingy plastic used to cover leftovers. Buy more than you think you will need. The best targets are the bed and the computer. For maximum effect place all objects on the bed and wrap them all together. If your friend is never gone long enough, Saran wrap the bowl of a toilet under the seat and make sure your friends know not to use it. Most people don’t look before they go. (TIP: Use colored Saran wrap around holidays.)

The Secret in the Ceiling

This only works if you have the type of ceiling with the tiles that can easily be removed. Take some sort of dairy product such as milk or yogurt, open it completely, and leave it in the ceiling. This prank will work best if you are in a hot climate. If they don’t find it after a week or two, have a heart and take it out while they are gone. This prank can also work by putting something like an open can of tuna in the air vents, but people will find it much more quickly.

Quantity is Better than Quality

Find something that you can get in a large quantity to place all over your target’s room. It doesn’t matter what it is as long as it will be time consuming to clean up. The best prank involves cups. If you have a friend that works at a fast food restaurant, get him/her to filch about 300 cups of different sizes. (Only ask this if you know your friend won’t get fired.) Fill half of the cups with water, but leave the others empty. Place only the empty ones near the door so that when your target begins kicking them he/she thinks they are all empty.

Another variation on this is putting things like tons of marbles or q-tips in all of your target’s pockets.

Framed!

Through whatever means necessary, make sure that people think your victim is in the room. A simple do-not-disturb sign would probably be just fine. Crank up something really obnoxious like an alarm, music, or some gay porn so that everybody who walks by can hear it. (TIP: You will most likely need an accomplice to get access to the room. A cool RA might help.)

Assisted Thievery

This is a bit outside the dorm, but it is still good and quite simple. Whenever you see your target at the library, wait for a bathroom break and slip a tiny book somewhere in his/her backpack. This works even better if you can hide just a small magnetic sensor somewhere since they won’t find it even after setting the alarm off many, many times.

Split-Personality

Every time you take a shower and somebody else takes one at the same time, act completely different. It doesn’t matter what you do, really, just be weird. Sing loudly, ask personal questions, whatever. The key to this prank is to never acknowledge it once you pull back the curtain.

Flour Power

You can use talcum powder, baby powder, flour or whatever for this one. Grab a hair dryer, an extension cord, and about 5 pounds of whatever it is you are using. Systematically lay line after line of powder near the bottom of the target’s door, and then blow it into the room. This prank is catastrophic to look at, so use it with caution.

Sabotage

I can’t remember where I read this one, but a couple years ago I read about some pranker from the south who used to make these horrible concoctions of sour milk, eggs, and god knows what. He’d wait around for somebody to go take a crap while it was still dark and then yell something like “Hey all ya’ll, it’s a sabotage” and then dump it on them and run.

Condom Doormat (submitted by Michelle)

Fill a condom with water until it is as big as you can get it without it popping. Put it in front of the victim’s door and pop it (or wait for them to come out not knowing it’s there and step on it). The water will burst all over the hallway and get under the door into the victim’s room!
