Prank Tape
Comes in Duct, Scotch, Electrical, or Packaging. | |
A hollow cylinder of rubber or plastic with a thin cardboard roll in the middle and structured sides, it looks and feels exactly like a partially used roll of {Duct/Scotch/Electrical/Packaging} tape, except for one difference - there is no actual tape, just one smooth tape-like surface going all around.
Hand
it casually to your fellow engineer/spouse/nosy bystander, asking them to tear you off a strip, and snicker as they struggle to find the elusive nonexistent gap between nonexistent layers.

Pranks a-go-go. Much history of pranks as both political statements and performance art. Some are just silly though. [wagster, Dec 06 2008]

A bit on the mean side, but uber-funny. [wagster, Dec 06 2008]

How this post came about
http://www.flickr.c...s/jutta/3086537871/
The door and window of this little play-house are taped up with very thin transparent packing tape. After turning the roll over about 200 times, I just took a knife and cut the outer layer and started unrolling at the new cut - the roll must have had some other natural start, but I couldn't for the life of me find it.

...and in the distance a hand-drier activates... |

I think someone left the toilet roll version of this where I work the other day. + |
|
| |
This would be funny to leave around the office. |
|
| |
I love it. Kin to the quarter crazy glued to the floor and the "door close" button in elevators. |
|
| |
Many times we have desired this particular item...... [+] |
|
| |
Yes, but it's these kinds of pranks that give my girlfriend second thoughts as to her choice of lovers... |
|
| |
To make it more infuriating, there could be an actual layer-like texture (which does nothing, however) somewhere on the roll. |
|
| |
This is sick ... I want it |
|
| |
Cruel but good. Perhaps have a short piece around it that they could see you tear off before you hand it to them. |
|
| |
I have a roll of packaging tape and a bun in the oven [+] |

Prank scissors: basically dull scissors, not fun.
Prank erasers: Bleed ink all over the page, too costly
Prank watercooler: water is in there, and you can see it, but all that comes out is snakes. This isn't bad.
Prank printer paper: It looks like a stack of paper, but really its not. Too easy to figure out.
|
|
| |
Basically, I think you found the winner. |
|
| |
Even better, a roll of tape that instantly begins to tear in the long direction, with the tear spiralling toward one edge, making the rest of the roll useless. I have a drawer full of those. |
|
| |
Some one please get some tape off this roll. I am
trying to Gift wrap this bun for jutta. [+] |

Nice. Few things are as pleasing as a simple prank. [jutta] - you might like this book (link) |

[MikeD] - I think I saw one of your videos yesterday (link) |

Way funnier than those gag condoms that don't unroll. |
|
| |
That's not funny at all. There are very few moments when humour is inappropriate, but just before sex is right up there with lowering a coffin into the ground. |
|
| |
I have never dared traverse the symbolic synesthesia as has just occured. <cold earthy wet damp shudder> |
|
| |
Ouch! Where is the Product:tape:evil category when you want
it?
+ |
|
| |
Yeah wags, things just didn't work out with her. She had absolutely no sense of humor. |
|
| |
Aw c'mon wagster.
Coitus interruptus gags are like the bread and butter of the sit-com world. It's only not funny if it's you, and it's not as if they actually exist or anything. |
|
| |
my family and friends seem to pass me these all the time [+] |
|

This reminds me of the Candid Camera prank: Grand Opening of a new store. Customers arrive and can see people (customers & employees) inside the store, but no doors. Round and round they go. |
|
| |
+ I work in a health center and I would like to put in a request for an adheshive tape version!! hehe |
|

Prank tape rolls such as this sometimes spontaneously come into being. I have addressed such that I have encountered with the Alexander the Great / Gordian knot method. Or did until my sword got confiscated in the airport. |

Nice link [xenzag] - glad to see Joey Skaggs is still alive and kicking. |

If I was in anyway musically inclined, I would now have to name my band "Prank Tape", even if I released it on MP3. |
