Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Exactly what it says — a sequence that shows a character or characters pulling various pranks! Either they can be just for fun, for revenge on someone, or when someone is being humiliated by The Bully of the show or episode. Often part of an April Fools' Plot. Can sometimes overlap with Good-Times Montage since the pranksters are having a good time as well (although their victims usually aren't). Compare Escalating War; watch out for a Prank Gone Too Far! |

Time Squad: There are a few montages within the show where all three main characters indulge in pranking in some form. But you're more than likely to notice that the main culprits are Tuddrussel and Otto, who are fully committed to making historical figures who don't follow historical record go insane from the psychological torture that's ultimately done to them. Examples include- When the Hatfield family decides to back off and become good neighbors to the McCoys, a montage of Tuddrussel and Otto occurs where they throw bombs into the Hatfield's outhouse, pour quick drying cement into the McCoys well, paint graffiti on the neighbors houses, and steal the Hatfield's scarecrow so that the birds will decimate their corn crops. The pranks work, and both families immediately go to war over the abuse. The Time Squad try to give Abraham Lincoln a taste of his own medicine by out-pranking him in secret. He has no idea that it's the Time Squad that's executing the following- Anonymously order a hundred anchovy pizzas to the cabin, ding-dong-ditching Lincoln and leaving a flaming bag of dog poop for him to stomp out, sending over a box of chocolates laced with laxatives from a "secret admirer", and confusingly enough prank call him jokes that wouldn't make sense for another hundred years. The onslaught of constant pranking works, and Lincoln swears off pranking for the rest of his life. |

Problem Child has Junior going on a prank spree aimed to ruin the birthday party of a girl who was treating him like crap, including things like redirecting a blindfolded kid trying to pin the tail on the donkey, filling a pinata with pickle juice, and putting a frog in the punch bowl. It all culminates in Junior blowing up the big cake with firecrackers that he replaced the candles with, which ends up getting him in big trouble. | |

The Office (US): In Conflict Resolution, Michael tries to resolve Dwight and Jim's problems with each other by reading out Dwight's complaints. This quickly devolves into him listing off Jim's pranks, which includes replacing Dwight's pens with crayons, trying to convince Dwight he committed murder, tricking Dwight into seeing Meredith on the toilet, tampering with Dwight's handset, changing the autocorrect to spell Dwight as 'diapers', paying everyone to call Dwight 'Dwayne' and moving Dwight's desk every time he leaves to go to the bathroom. Initially, Jim finds it amusing before seeing just how many pranks he's pulled, causing him to feel guilty and realize how bored he is all the time. | |

New Girl: Winston fancies himself The Prankster, but he is notably bad at it. When an episode brings it up, there will be a montage of him failing to pull off pranks because they are either too big (eg. registering Nick as a sex offender) or too small (eg. putting a blueberry in Schmidt's cereal). | |

Rushmore showed a sequence of escalating pranks between Herman and and Max: Max tells Hermans' wife about Herman's infidelities and fills Herman's hotel room with bees, then Herman stole Max's bicycle and ran it over with his car, so Max cuts Herman's brakes, which results in Max getting arrested. Because this sequence was shown in the film's trailer, many people though that was what the main plot of the film was going to be about. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The opening of "Griffon the Brush-Off" has Pinkie and Dash pulling pranks on the rest of the Mane Six — they put sneezing powder in Rarity's flowers, give Twilight a jar of disappearing ink, and paint over Applejack's apples. They were about to surprise Fluttershy, but Pinkie stops them there; Dash then gets a prank of her own by getting ink around her eye from a telescope. "28 Pranks Later": Rainbow Dash pulls off so many individual pranks (including a cake frosted and constructed to look like a realistic sewing machine for Rarity) that she gets hit with a massive prank in return. |

Strong Bad Email 206 has Strong Bad complaining about various internet April Fools Jokes, complaining that they're pointless because no one falls for them. He demonstrates with an old-timey homepage for the website, fake Trogdor merchandise, and a Real Trailer, Fake Movie for Dangeresque IV while Homestar falls for all of them. After that, he decides to bring April Fool's Day back into the real world, "where it can physically hurt people!" He tricks Homestar into running into a full-length mirror by claiming it's his long lost twin brother, gets Marzipan to eat The Cheat by claiming the latter is gluten free, gets the block-like Strong Mad stuck in a head stand, tricks the King of Town into eating a hand mirror by claiming it's his long lost twim brother, and tapes the gremlin shut with Bubs outside wanting to get in and Coach Z inside wanting to get out. | |
