The Cyberlaffs Comedy Guide

Writing Jokes

Jokes should include a setup and a punchline. You can even post funny pictures with witty captions. All jokes, unless made up by the author, must have a citation below the rating module. Top-10 List jokes need not have images, but images can improve them by a lot.

Writing Pranks

Pranks need not have images for each step, but images really make them better. Pranks should also have a "Meanness Factor."

• Not Mean: Prank is completely harmless. No lasting damage will be done. Example: Putting a whoopee cushion on someone's chair.
• A Bit Mean: Prank can result in minor (slight) damage to someone's body/health, their property, or their reputation. Example: The bucket of cold water on top of the door.
• Moderate: Prank can result in more permanent damage to the victim. Use caution when pulling these pranks!
• Mean: Prank can result in moderate amounts of damage. You could get into a bit of trouble for pulling it as well. Example: Setting pots and pans to fall on someone walking into a room.
• Very Mean: Prank has major consequences for both the perpetrator and the victim. The prank may even be breaking some laws. Example: Setting a coworker's desktop background to an inappropriate picture.
• Extremely Mean: Prank can get the victim and perpetrator in serious trouble and may even cause serious injury or death to the victim. We do NOT promote any dangerous or illegal acts on this wiki, and these pranks should just be here so people know about them. Example: Going onto someone's Facebook and posting illegal content under their name.

Posting Jokes/Pranks

To post your joke or prank, put a link to it under the appropriate letter (links are in alphabetical order) on the appropriate category page. Write a short, witty title, and use said title for your page. Jokes can fit into multiple categories. For example, you can have a computer joke that is also a top-ten list. Make sure you add tags related to your joke/prank!

As for source citations, links can go dead at any time. If your source goes away, please note it by adding "(broken link)" after the link. This makes it easier for moderators/admins to check for plagiarism.
