5. Vendors in the lecture hall.
Pretty much every class could be improved by allowing vendors to come in and sell candy bars to students. Let’s make this happen.
4. Magic Mike: strippers in class!
I would think twice before attempting this one, since it only takes one person getting offended before you get arrested or kicked out of school. Nevertheless, this stripper prank was hilarious, and the professor even seemed to get a kick out of it.
3. Shark attack!
I take back what I said about this stuff never happening at my school. Here’s one from the University of Kansas. But I’m still bitter that this never happened in any of my classes…
2. Mario Kart.
The characters from Mario Kart show up and race around the perimeter of the lecture hall, complete with authentic sound effects, banana peels, and appropriate “wipe outs.”
1. Zorro duels a purse thief.
This might be the best lecture hall prank of all time. The choreography, the costumes, the planning, and the perfect execution by the mariachi band. It’s truly a hilarious form of theater art. The “audience” is enthralled and even the professor is grinning.
