The internet brought about the golden age of prank videos. With not only he ability to upload videos but to create contests and groups focused solely on hidden camera pranks. This collective thought and knowledge led to more and more innovative pranks. Some such as the FCC prank above involve impersonating federal officers. Not necessarily legal, but absolutely hilarious.

The television prank show has also provided many great clips over the years. The Japanese clip above shows the far end of what can be achieved. Evoking absolute fear through the use of high quality special effects, and acting, the show captures pure terror on the faces of the prank victims. Truly genius pranking!
