    Ok, buddy.

    There’s not a single prank that everyone will laugh at, but keep believing what you want.

    Sorry, just to drive the point further home: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practical_joke

    No mention of laughter even being a factor. You can edit the article if you’d like to change that.

    Also, this is a really good fucking prank:

        What’s the definition of most?

        Here’s the definition of a prank:

        a practical joke or mischievous act

        A practical joke or prank is a trick played on people, generally causing the victim to experience embarrassment, perplexity, confusion, or discomfort.

        No laughter required.

          I shared the part where it mentioned it being a factor.

          No, not required, but overall or most or more than half or more frequently or insert synonym here for most…

          Generally a good practical joke will have the victim to be able to laugh after the fact and not be like you assaulted me. Assault isn’t a joke.

          Since you don’t know what most means you may not know what assault means …

          violent physical attack, as with blows.

            That’s fine. The guy I was responding to was trying to argue that all pranks make everyone laugh, which is ridiculous.

              Yeah and the person I’m responding to said

              threw it as a prank

              What I’m saying, it’s it doesn’t matter the intent, assault isn’t a joke. Throwing objects that can potentially cause injury isn’t a practical joke at all.

      So your issue is parentage then.

      And if you act cruelly to one person simply so you and perchance another bystander can laugh at them, then I’d say you’re just proving the point, and you hang out with shitty people.
