i watched 90% of this video until i realized that tootsie pops' initials are t.p. i kept thinking he was referring to toilet paper so i was really confused... :P
i dont know about over there but had i rcieved a "tootsie pop" in australia in the mail or at work or in the little deserted island thing infront of my house i'd think 'there is some guy trying to drug us'
but then i'd see the note take the "tootsie pops" and just die in my room a little bit...
Guys. guys. My psych teacher got positive pranked on the other day!! He told us at school and I was all "I know the people who started that!!! french the llama!!" And then he thought I was weird...
When I was a kid I used to prank my neighbors by TP'ing them with leftover ribbons after giftwrapping at Christmastime. I thought it was a crazy rebellious thing to do at the time, because I grew up in a household that was EXTREMELY against TP'ing (thanks mom :D). I've been +Pranking for years!! And this video just got me back into it. :D
@CakeBeneathTheIcing Taping to the door, or sticking in front of door, or next to it, Tape individual tootsiepops to mailboxes, or just go up to random people and give them candy. Which in NY I dont think is a good idea.
I love the idea of positive pranking, but I think that tootsie pops contain chocolate. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but is it safe to leave chocolate in reach of dogs?
I started a group of friends that leave positive post-it notes around public places, in an attempt to adapt graffiti into a non-damaging, world-suck-reducing method of spreading joy. Check it out by googling Found Salutations! DFTBA! :)
The consequences will never be the same!!! Yes! Every now and then I forget how made of awesome you guys are and unlike most adults you know what stuff like that means!
Does trick-or-treating, but pretending to be the Doctor and then running away before they can give me candy count as positive pranking? 2/3 people that got soniced (yes, that is what my friend and I called it) seemed to be amused...
It's illegal to put stuff in mail boxes?! What if you want to hand deliver invitations or something to people in your neighbourhood? Sometimes America makes my head hurt.
@SeahorseyPrincess You put them in the newspaper box, wedge with the flag thing, put in a bag and hang it of the front, wedge it in their door. Or the good ole fashioned knock on their door and give it to them. The law is because the mail box technically belongs to the US Postal Service, hence why its a felony to damage them.
John, positive pranking is an awesome idea although I must say that I would definetely not eat whatever I am given unless I know the person i got positive pranked by.
I saw the video post about fortune cookies and now want to make some of my own with funny, positive, inspirational sayings and deliver them around my area... They will be called "fortunate cookies"
@eretrece I'm up to March of 2011. I think I've actually caught up to the time that I subscribed, but I'm not entirely sure; I'm going to watch the rest anyway. It's just taking me a while now since school started back; I got through most of the videos over summer. Good luck to you! =)
So this past summer, several interns did several "postiive pranks" including suckers, jello, funny (yet very nerdy) jokes, riddles, candy, "I <3 U" on 12 post-its, and chocolate :). There were at least 10 in all :). It was awesome!
This video was posted on my birthday last year! 8O Since I will not be celebrating on my actual day of birth (it's in the middle of the week, college sucks) I think I may take this time to think of a way to positively prank my classmates. 8D It'd be a way to spread the love, rid the world of suck, and make others happy. <3
Putting stuff into people's mailboxes is illegal? My neighborhood does it all the time when they want to advertise babysitting and neighborhood picnics and stuff...so maybe only in certain places??
The funny yet sad thing is, is that some of those people were probibly like my parents and were all like "Those toosie pops are poisined! Don't ever eat candy a random staranger gives you! nag nag nag..."
My friends and I are planning to make thousands of tiny origami hats, and we are going to stick them on the turning part of people's locks. And the hats will have uplifting and inspiring quotes on them, and all 1200 people at my school must get one. I just need to learn how to make the hats xD
@thebookworm05 that sounds fantastic :) I used to make little origami boats and things with little messages on the and leave them in classrooms, but I had to stop because a) I started writing really long messages b) I found that they got binned. This might have been linked, so if you want any idea, it's probably to keep the messages short, something like "you're very pretty" or "you are loved" or "your dreams will come true" or something like that. Best of luck! x
check out "improv everywhere" (a youtube channel) for some AWESOME positive prank experiments. ALL their videos are basically videos of flash mobs with a good purpose
Instead of egging someone's house by throwing eggs, you give them easter eggs/Cadbury Creme Eggs. And, if you want, you can egg people themselves by throwing eggs at them and seeing how many they can catch.
Watching this, I was thinking about how it would make my day if I was at work and someone handed me a bag of Tootsie Pops, and I don't even like those that much. I'd give most of them away, and that would make other people happy, which is cool by me. And then I thought about how it would be one of those really odd, cool things if I walked by an empty, barren space, where Tootsie Pops were just sticking out of the ground.
That is not a positive variation of teepeeing someones yard, its is a variation of forking their yard (when you stick hundreds of plastic forks in their yard and all they can do is pull them up).
My four-year-old grandson trick-or-treated a house this Halloween and the resident didn't have any candy, so he gave her a KitKat (her favorite). He NFTBA! :D
@jairoller4life It's not really one specific quote. Hank and John Green (the people in this channel, John's the one in the video.) at some point in 2007 mentioned the decreasing of worldsuck, and since then it has become a common phrase, as well as a common goal, for the Green Brothers as well as most, if not all of the Nerdfighters. Nerdfighters are people who instead of being made of bones and skin and tissue, are made entirely out of awesome. If you want to become a Nerdfighter, you are one.
I'm an RA (Resident Assistant) at my university and we have to do an activity or service project with the people on my floor every month. This month for Halloween I used the TP idea. I wrote a note and taped suckers to their wall. I also included a bowl of red suckers placed on the drinking fountain and labeled it the "blood bath". They loved it! +1,000,000 for Nerdfighteria! :)
me and my buddy are going trick or treating tonight and we're going to ring on people's doors, and if they don't answer we will 'trick' people into thinking that we've posted something nasty through the door when actually, we've posted chocolates and a cute note XD
i just got an idea from dan brown's new video! :D go to a highly populated place with a FREE HUGS sign, and instead of being a pick-pocket {which he wasn't/isn't} leave a dollar or something in their pocket! :D
@spatchjr haha I actually did that in a park near where I used to live. I put "smile, you're beautiful" in some random places other than the floor, like places people would never have thought to see that written there.
I know you probably won't see this...but thanks Jon. I have implemented this in the residence halls I work in. With the tragedies all around us it is good to be able to point out the positives in order to lower the level of world suck! Thank you so much for the great idea, it has been a huge success, and I think some students are really starting to get it. Hoping even this little bit can help to prevent tragedies like what happened at Rutgers. Thanks again!!
I have a positive pranking story! My friend and I once printed and cut out 40 phrases, some of them quotes, that encouraged tolerance, especailly toward gays and lesbians, We then hid them all over our little city, in books, bike locks, videos at the video store, etc. We would have done more but we were only two people. : ) It was fun.

Our neighborhood does some positive pranking around Halloween. Our neighbors ding dong ditch, but they leave a little bag of candy and a note from 'a ghost' to take that candy and fill it with something else and give it to another neighbor. It's cute and the kid get really excited.
My apartment mates and I just Ding Dong ditched a house of boys on campus and they were SO IMPRESSED. They've sworn to get positive prank revenge on us soon. We think this could go on all year. I think you boys inspired a new school tradition! :)
I've always been a positive pranker. For example just the other day I saw a bowl of cooking apples outside someone's gate and a sign saying 'please take some apples.'
I wrote a note saying 'Hi there, I don't want to take your apples but I just would like to let you know I'm thankful for the option! So thank you. If I were in need of apples I would be very grateful to you right now. Have a great day.'
I was informed (while leaving rent for my landlord in an envelope in their mailbox) that you must have a stamp on anything you put in a mailbox, even if it isn't going through the post office...So...next time you go tping...make sure to buy stamps too!
John, as the lawyer of a victim of your inhumane shenanigans it is my misfortune to inform you that you dun goof'd by leaving your signature on the letters left with your still being tested for what is potentially drugs.
the internet police have been informed and your anonymity revoked by methods of back tracing.
My friends and I always love shouting encouraging or complimentary things out of our car windows. For example, when we see somebody jogging we say, "keep up the good work" or "you go girl you burn off that chocolate bar from yesterday" or when we see a guy wearing a nice shirt we say, "orange is so your color" or "looking good in the hood" ha one of my favorite things to do
Some of my friends and I TP'd our high school's ~tree area by the parking lots with DumDums a couple years ago. No one thought it was cool; they were just like 'lamest senior prank ever'. Obviously all of them forgot to be awesome ):
"The consequences will never be the same" - I didn't notice this in here the first time around . . . SOMEONE CALL THE CYBER POLICE ON ME. I DUN GOOFED.
i just finished Looking for Alaska.. i was probly the best book i have read in a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time..... i havnt read the rest of your books yet but Hoolywood is filled with jackasses...just saying :)
this reminds me of ghosting. which is where you leave candy and a note in different peoples houses. and then they do the same. until every house in the neighborhood and outside of the neighborhood has a ghost on their door symbolizing they have been ghosted.

I wrote a note and taped suckers to their wall. I also included a bowl of red suckers placed on the drinking fountain and labeled it the "blood bath". They loved it! +1,000,000 for Nerdfighteria! :)

me and my buddy are going trick or treating tonight and we're going to ring on people's doors, and if they don't answer we will 'trick' people into thinking that we've posted something nasty through the door when actually, we've posted chocolates and a cute note XD

i just got an idea from dan brown's new video! :D go to a highly populated place with a FREE HUGS sign, and instead of being a pick-pocket {which he wasn't/isn't} leave a dollar or something in their pocket! :D

"These are for you. They're a gift. It's just Tootsie Pops. And can I have a six-inch on wheat?" I love you, John.

@spatchjr haha I actually did that in a park near where I used to live. I put "smile, you're beautiful" in some random places other than the floor, like places people would never have thought to see that written there.

I know you probably won't see this...but thanks Jon. I have implemented this in the residence halls I work in. With the tragedies all around us it is good to be able to point out the positives in order to lower the level of world suck! Thank you so much for the great idea, it has been a huge success, and I think some students are really starting to get it. Hoping even this little bit can help to prevent tragedies like what happened at Rutgers. Thanks again!!

I have a positive pranking story! My friend and I once printed and cut out 40 phrases, some of them quotes, that encouraged tolerance, especailly toward gays and lesbians, We then hid them all over our little city, in books, bike locks, videos at the video store, etc. We would have done more but we were only two people. : ) It was fun.

@lilyloonyluna A tootsie pop is a lollipop with some chocolate taffy stuff in the middle 8D
Cheery is my favorite flavor, in case you were wondering. (you probably weren't wondering, though :D )

Our neighborhood does some positive pranking around Halloween. Our neighbors ding dong ditch, but they leave a little bag of candy and a note from 'a ghost' to take that candy and fill it with something else and give it to another neighbor. It's cute and the kid get really excited.

My apartment mates and I just Ding Dong ditched a house of boys on campus and they were SO IMPRESSED. They've sworn to get positive prank revenge on us soon. We think this could go on all year. I think you boys inspired a new school tradition! :)

I've always been a positive pranker. For example just the other day I saw a bowl of cooking apples outside someone's gate and a sign saying 'please take some apples.'
I wrote a note saying 'Hi there, I don't want to take your apples but I just would like to let you know I'm thankful for the option! So thank you. If I were in need of apples I would be very grateful to you right now. Have a great day.'

I was informed (while leaving rent for my landlord in an envelope in their mailbox) that you must have a stamp on anything you put in a mailbox, even if it isn't going through the post office...So...next time you go tping...make sure to buy stamps too!

John, as the lawyer of a victim of your inhumane shenanigans it is my misfortune to inform you that you dun goof'd by leaving your signature on the letters left with your still being tested for what is potentially drugs.
the internet police have been informed and your anonymity revoked by methods of back tracing.

My friends and I always love shouting encouraging or complimentary things out of our car windows. For example, when we see somebody jogging we say, "keep up the good work" or "you go girl you burn off that chocolate bar from yesterday" or when we see a guy wearing a nice shirt we say, "orange is so your color" or "looking good in the hood" ha one of my favorite things to do

Some of my friends and I TP'd our high school's ~tree area by the parking lots with DumDums a couple years ago. No one thought it was cool; they were just like 'lamest senior prank ever'. Obviously all of them forgot to be awesome ):

this reminds me of ghosting. which is where you leave candy and a note in different peoples houses. and then they do the same. until every house in the neighborhood and outside of the neighborhood has a ghost on their door symbolizing they have been ghosted.
