Hey *|FNAME|*!

Today's not just any Tuesday. It's April Fool's and not too late to bust a prank on someone before you get punked yourself. If you need ideas, we're throwing some inspiration your way that should accommodate any style, from silly to just plain sick.

The Prank Call
Low on time? Too broke to leave the house? Try the prank call — a simple way to get a quick laugh and it doesn't cost you a dime. Get some inspiration from Jesse Taylor's Prank Call.

Best for: Busy folks, lazy folks, broke-ass folks, procrastinators
Price: 4 of your cell-phone minutes (and free if you go mobile-to-mobile!)

The Risky Prank
If you feel like picking a fight with your significant other, you might follow Caine Lopez's technique. Watch "Pranks keep a relationship going" and decide if your loved one can hang, or if you're ready to fly solo.

Best for: People dating an awesome, understanding loverboy/girl
Price: no sex for a week

The Frat House Prank
Save the shaving cream and wigs for another day, and see what Cy Amundson did when he pulled the Ultimate Prank.

Best for: Drunk people, college students, college grads who don't realize college is over
Price: You'll hear about this prank over and over again until you die. Or graduate.

The Secret Prank
Sometimes the best pranks are the ones that only you know about. Sam Demaris "Drunken eBay purchases" sheds some light on the beauty of keeping a laugh to yourself.

Best for: socially awkward types, sadistic folks, repressed children
Price: further isolation

The Sophisticated Prank
Like a fine wine, some jokes take time to ripen. You'll need patience, perseverance and a truly sick mind to pull this one off. Let Eddie Gossling's "Pranking your kids" demonstrate.

Best for: Parents, siblings, co-dependent types
Price: Years of therapy for your child

Hope you're inspired! And if you're still too lazy to do any of the above, at least have some laughs over our spoof products on the RooftopComedy online store.

Have a great April Fool's.
