This is a list of practical joke topics (also known as a prank, gag, jape, or shenanigan) which are mischievous tricks or jokes played on someone, typically causing the victim to experience embarrassment, perplexity, confusion, or discomfort.{{cite web| url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/practical%20joke?fromAsk=true&o=100074 |title=Practical joke|publisher=Dictionary.com|accessdate=2012-05-27}}

Practical jokes differ from confidence tricks or hoaxes in that the victim finds out, or is let in on the joke, rather than being fooled into handing over money or other valuables. Practical jokes or pranks are generally lighthearted, reversible and non-permanent, and aim to make the victim feel foolish or victimised to a degree, but may also involve cruelty and become a form of bullying if performed without appropriate finesse.
