I never play mean, embarrassing or scary pranks; I'm usually just trying to be funny or silly. My favorites to date:
1) When I was a teenager, I made a dummy of myself with a styrofoam wig head, a wig, and a stuffed sweatsuit. I positioned it facedown on the floor of the entry hall and put a sign next to it saying, "Life- who needs it?" along with an empty bottle of (stool softener) prescription drugs. It was pretty lifelike, and when my mom and her date came home, I heard mild chuckling and then, "Okay, Laurel, get up." Then, when the body didn't move, she nudged the dummy with her foot and the styrofoam head detached and rolled down the stairs.
2) I once removed this dickie thingie from a dress I'd worn to work and took my bra off (in the car) so that I had what was left with the dress and some serious plunging cleavage, then waltzed inside and fooled Dennis for a whole minute that I'd gone to work like that.
3) This one isn't mine, but a woman I worked with once convinced the whole deli department at the natural food store that the health department was on their way and that she hadn't had time to get them hairnets to satisfy a new regulation, so they had to quickly choose and put on some onion netting baggie thingies from the produce to wear as hairnets until the health department had done their inspection and left. The employees not only believed her, but some actually squabbled over who got purple, who got red, and so on. They were all wearing them when she announced over the intercom that she was just joking.
