These office pranks go far beyond the traditional whoopie cushion on the chair routine... The evil genius behind these is truly something to behold. Do you think pulling off a prank like this would earn you a pat on the back, a slap on the wrist or an order to walk out the door?

 

1. Set clear guidelines for pranks.
2. Respect personal belongings and safety first.
3. Have remote work fun ideas ready.


Funny Workplace Pranks

  • The Personalised Wrapping Paper Prank - This must have taken some time and patience, these cheeky co-workers have carefully wrapped every single item in this office with promotional wrapping papers.

  • Post-It Note Rampage - We don't even care how many post-it notes were used up for this one. At least they didn't waste the custom branded sticky notes.

  • The Takeaway Packaging Stack - This took some serious commitment. Chinese takeaway boxes are used for all sorts of purposes now, personally I'd prefer to be on the receiving end of a prank involving custom noodle boxes filled with jelly beans.

  • The Plastic Tumbler Fortress - Why use plastic party cups for sharing around punch at your next party when you could be building a fortress in your co-workers cubicle?

  • Do not do this to Donuts - This, this is pure evil. Sometimes you're just craving a delicious donut to help you survive the workday, and healthy snacks just will not do.

  • The Personalised Herb Garden - So apparently cress seeds don't take much to grow rampant... this office worker went on holiday for two weeks and came back to this delightful little personal herb garden sprouting from her keyboard. Maybe her co-workers just thought she could use some more herbs in her diet? In that case, they could have just organised some branded herb potting set giveaways for the team, gosh.

Setting Boundaries for Pranks

Humour is an essential part of our office culture, but we understand that everyone has different boundaries. That's why it's vital to set clear guidelines regarding pranks at work. At Cubic Promote, we encourage our employees to come up with creative ideas, but anything inappropriate or offensive isn't tolerated.

  • Respect personal belongings: We advise against touching anyone’s personal items without their permission.
  • Avoid sensitive topics: Political or religious jokes might offend some people in the office.
  • Ensure safety first: Any prank that could cause harm shouldn’t be carried out.
  • Think about timing: We recommend avoiding pranking someone when they’re busy with work or meetings.

Prank Ideas for Remote Work

With remote work becoming more popular due to COVID-19 restrictions; coming up with ingenious ways to have fun can be challenging.

  • Share digital memes: Sending personalized funny memes through Slack always raises some laughs—just make sure their relevance suits the audience.
  • Virtual backgrounds for online meetings: Getting all team members together virtually every day would eventually get boring if it weren't for new backgrounds during video calls each week—stepping away from reality for a bit will undoubtedly do wonders!
  • Typo Mania Monday (or any weekday): Celebrate the grammatically challenged world by sharing hilarious spelling and grammar mistakes found across social media platforms.
  • Photo Fun Fridays (or any weekday): Choose a different theme every week, tell your colleagues ahead of time then let imaginations run wild! This is great because everyone can participate regardless of skill level or resources.

Takeaway

At Cubic Promote, we know how valuable a fun and inclusive work environment is. That's why we invest in building an exciting office culture where all our employees enjoy working together. While pranks and jokes may not be everyone's cup of tea, there are always ways to have harmless fun, even when working remotely. If you're looking for custom branded promotional products that can help enhance your business image, feel free to reach out to us at Cubic Promote; you won't regret it!
