Wake-Up Call!
I guess it IS possible to take the mundane out of the office! Monster.com has introduced their Wake Up Call campaign, where Brian Baumgartner comforts employees that have been pranked with a wake up call. This is no ordinary wake up call though – it is something “special” (I’m not sure how I would feel about this approach!).
Monster.com goes inside several offices and sets up hidden cameras along with horn traps, in their workspace. The employees are in for a big surprise, as their day starts off a little differently than normal. If you love a good prank, then you might enjoy this!
Who would you prank? How do you think they would react? If you have someone or something in mind, grab your camera and start recording! I know you guys are pretty funny, and I would love to see what you come up with! You can leave a link to your video in the comments below and Monster.com will be posting their favorite funniest videos on their Twitter & Facebook pages. Make sure you use the designated hashtag, #WakeUpCall if you post a video!
Speaking of jobs, don’t forget that you can visit Monster.com for information on current job openings, job search advice, networking and much, much more. You can also find more helpful info on the Monster.com blog!
THE GIVEAWAY:
One (1) winner will receive a $25 Visa Gift Card and Monster Mug (from the video)!
Open to US only. Giveaway ends 6/5.

A loud scream
I love pranks but I’m not good with coming up with prank ideas. loved the video and seeing their reactions. Maybe jumpin out with a scarey mask on or screaming through a mega phone or something springing out a desk drawer when they open it
Screaming would be hilarious, esp for my husband who’s so easy to scare. 😉
I would love a recording of all my sons 5 children as their in the middle of arguing with one another as his recording
I think if you’re in an office space, a good prank would be to jump out of a large box to scare someone.
Fake spiders are always a good bet!!
i’d do a wake up call
I am not good at pranks, but I liked the previous poster’s idea of the spider.
I always wanted to try to put whip cream on someone’s hand while they are sleeping then tickle their face so they slap it.
A message that they won the Publisher’s Clearing house prize or something to that effect.
I do not plan on recording a wakeup call

Fake doggy poo ontop of my sons bed. I actually did this to him last April fools day and he thought it was real.
I am not very good at thinking up pranks…but I would like to record a Wake Up Call video!
Once I woke up my son and told him he was late for school before I reminded him it was Saturday.
I am not very good with coming up with ideas for pranks. Somehow I fall for them though.
I pulled a prank on my husband last night he was watching tv in the living room when he got up for a moment I traded his remote (which looks the same as the one from the bedroom) and when he came back and wanted to change the channel it was doing things randomly as I was the one actually in control. He was freaking out it was so funny!
Record my sister’s singing would be fun.
A prank telling my husband we are pregnant with another set of twins!
I have no idea. I am so bad with pranks, but could see it being funny.
I like to put a post it on my hubby’s mouse, he always panics that its broke!
I always thought it was funny to turn the tv or computer up to full volume to scare the person turning it on.
I’d love to make a wake up call of me screaming loudly to wake up, and have my sister wake up to it!!
I would record a wake up call!! My son says the most random funny things when he is asleep..a wake up call could be very funny
i’m not good at doing my pranks, my boyfriend however is very good at pranking me. Usually something involving a spider because I’m totally afriad of them!
I’m the worst at coming up wth ideas…maybe “wall-papering” someone’s office with post it notes?
i would do a wake up video
One of my favorite Funny Pranks is to take makeup and make a clown face on a sleeping friend. It’s a funny surprise when they wake up. I actually did this to my husband!!! It was so funny! He is a deep sleeper!
I won’t e making a video.
putting on their clothes insides out and seeing if they notice
best prank:
get 2 pigs and spray 1 and 3 on them and let them loose.. they will think there is a 2nd pig out there somewhere.
I would prank my husband with a wake up call of the sound of a baby crying! We are TTC, that would totally freak him out!
a good prank would be somebody opening a closet and something scary be hanging in it.

Can’t think of a prank but I may not be inclined to do a wake up call video!
Go up behind people and just scream
I do not do pranks but I think I would create a wake up call
I am never good at pulling off pranks! I will go with a loud scream.
I think a hilarious prank would be being behind a truck that is being towed and is facing towards you and the person next to you would be asleep and you would just start screaming and they would wake up thinking that you were going to have a head on collision. Cruel? Yes, but funny! 🙂
taping their desk drawer.
dont use wake up call
Beating pots together to wake someone up!
I am not really good at pranks, a scream maybe, or an air horn blowing would be super funny and guaranteed to wake hubby up!
We play pranks all the time…I good one was gluing a silver dollar to our floor at work and watching everyone trying to pick it up

Here’s a great prank. On April Fool’s Day, my husband’s son (who was about 11), swapped out all his underwear with his own, so when he got up and got dressed for work, all the underwear he tried to put on was incredibly small. A few tries and he realized it was a prank…but wow. A good one!
I am not the prankster kind of person. I just laugh hysterically… no way I could pull something like that off. Not to mention how much of a bad liar I am. But I would probably talk my kids into pranking their dad about something.
not a prankster but my daughter 3 kids are big prankster
I think I’ll be recording a Wake Up Call!!!
a funny prank would be a fake snake in the flower garden
I think a scream would be funny.
A good prank to play on people is to put a rubber band around the hand spayer on the sink and then when the next person turns the water on, they get sprayed 🙂
I don’t think I’d record a Wake Up Call video!
I’ve always enjoyed the waiting in a dark corner and jumping out to scare someone!
Tell me what you think would be a funny prank
get a guy to fake the presidents voice and then call somebody at random…Hold for the president..
I think a funny prank to play would be for a girl to tell her boyfriend she is pregnant.
My husband has one of those blow horns. He blew it when my back was turned in the garage. He thought it was hilarious. It scared the crap out of me and it hurts the ears! I’m not good at pranks…don’t really like them but a simple blow horn unexpectedly would be good.
I don’t plan on recording a Wake Up Call Video
I would definitely make a recording
I love the pranks that were pulled on The Office, like placing coworkers’ staplers in jello.
I want to record a Wake Up Call Video
Doing a wakeup call would be fun

I got an old friend a fake lottery ticket. She fell for it really well :o)
I don’t think I could do this. I have no imagination coming up with pranks and I’d feel mean ever pulling one on someone!
I’m not good at playing pranks on people. I honestly can’t think of a thing!
Wake up pranks sound to rude, funny… but so rude. Can’t imagine myself doing that to person i love.
I don’t really like pranks, but a mild one would be a silly wake-up call.
Doing a wake up call video would be so fun and funny!
I am afraid I do not like pranks – I once had someone put a plastic snake on my shoulder and I fainted.
I think it would be a funny prank to set up a gift basket to put on a coworkers desk that is full of cans if nuts and stuff and replace the nuts and stuff with plastic snakes and insects 🙂
I don’t plan on recording a Wake Up Call Video but it would be pretty fun joke to pull on somebody!
i’d do a wake up call
a remote control that you can turn things on/off, then put a radio on a talk station on low volume and hide it….turn it on and off and act like you don’t hear it, can do it with lights too.

I’m not too good at pranks I prefer jumping out and scaring people
I am not what the prank would be, but I would love to prank my son somehow! Will have to give that one some thought!
A funny prank would be to pretend that the zombie apocalypse has happened while a friend’s watching “The Walking Dead” on cable.
sshhhhh don’t tell but I was the one pulling all the pranks at work. Tape down the button on the phones at work and when they go to answer the phone it just keeps on ringing and ringing and ringing ( on high irritating volume of course) . Then take out the spring on all the ball point pens so when they go to write the ball goes up inside the pen case. Unplug the keyboard cord from the monitor. Remove all sticky’s and staples. Now do this all on the morning that they have a scheduled fire drill. That should start their day off right lol . However shredding a years worth of news papers in your supervisors office is another good one 😉
I think it would be funny to make a wake up call with a loud cat meowing.
i’d do a wake up call
Screaming would be a funny prank.
I’m clueless when it comes to pranking people but if I could it would be my husband as he is so fun
You know, I may be being a spoil sport here; but I would never in a million years do something like that. I think it’s rude, Sorry. If someone did it to me I would just feel hurt.
I’m not into pranks or doing videos.
Thanks for the contest.
i don’t really like pranks that much unless there is a nice ending: like surprising someone with a visit when they are lonely are something…
I think it’d be fun to record a wake up call
I always thought it would be funny to do the office prank like you see on America’s Funniest Videos all the time, with someone randomly popping out of a box and scaring the victim!
I would love to record one, but I can’t think of any good ideas right now!
Sneaking up on my cats always seems like a fun prank. They seem to like it

I am not very good at pranks so I would not do it.
I would so put some type of fake insect on my husbands face when he’s sleeping and then just wait for the awesomeness to happen. He’s so afraid of bugs.

When the Wii first came out, for Christmas we put it on my stepsons bed without him knowing it. He opened all his gifts under the tree an we told him that was all we had. Then we told him to go play with his toys he just got in his room. He was thrilled when he saw it there.

I would throw some cold water on them and then run really fast.
