The only thing better than a good practical joke is a practical joke that ends with some real good for its beloved victim, and that’s where Break.com’s Prank It FWD project was born.

Prank It Forward takes an afternoon of unsuspected surprises and showers it on people who deserve a little something special in their lives, whether it’s a traffic ticket for safe driving or the best waitressing shift ever or occasionally something even more amazing like the time they treated a hardworking house cleaner to a day of luxury that ended with the surprise that even her own family who were in on the prank never saw coming (above)!

This is one of those heartwarming videos that gets shared around the Internet constantly, and rightfully so. We here at Just Laugh like it because it’s also hilarious watching it all go down, and on top of everything else, even months after the prank Break.com is still giving forward by donating to charity every time you watch and enjoy any of the Prank It Forward videos on YouTube.

I think this maid’s matronly reward is currently my personal favorite, but for Extra Credit with this blog post, here are a few others to enjoy until Break.com is ready to dazzle us with more tales of giving back all over again…

• Marine Rescues Her Brothers
• Homeless Shelter Surprise
• Paying for People’s Tires & Brakes
• The Best Shift Ever

History class taught us about the story from the Trojan War where the Greeks used a giant, wooden horse to sneak into the city of Troy undetected, but certainly that kind of thing could never happen in modern times … right???

Aussie comedy group The Chaser shares this little prank video to show that some habits are a little harder to forget…

If you happen to be up at 12:50am like I am, prepare to LOL because for some reason watching Greg compete with the Free Hugs Guy is just absolutely slaying me this evening!!!

“His are cheaper but they feel cheaper.”

(extended cut here – seriously, if he put out like a Blu-Ray Special Edition with 4.5 hours of deleted footage and interviews with theFree Hugs Guy, I’d probably have already ordered it for next-day delivery through Amazon…)

An example of one of the pranks Kutcher has accomplished is setting up an illegal gambling site, in which Seth Green (of Austin Powers fame), the individual getting Punk’d, believes he is out for a friendly night of gambling. What eventually happens is, fake agents who are supposedly onto this illegal gambling event barge in and attempt to make arrests. In Kutcher-like fashion, Green ends up the butt of jokes, ending with Kutcher and the rest of the crew laughing and forcing Green to look into the camera.

Of course this is the only thing shown. If the unedited version was to surface, I’d imagine the viewers would see Seth Green beating the crap out of Kutcher for making him pee his pants. Then his attorney would be called and lawsuits would be filed, etc. etc.

Having seen this show numerous times, I’ve finally come to a conclusion. Ashton Kutcher has starred on the show, That 70’s Show, ever since the show began, some 100 episodes ago.

I used to be a fan of That 70’s Show. That was until Punk’d came out. The reason I’m not a fan anymore is, ever since the unleashing of the MTV series, I don’t know which episodes of That 70’s Show are legit.

As I watch weekly, I wait for one of the other famous actors, including Mila Kunis, Danny Masterson, and Topher Grace, to be pranked by Kutcher.

I would love for that to happen. In a bad episode, (and believe me, there have been many lately), I want to see Kutcher jump out at his co-star and yell, “Look into that camera over there. You’re on my new show, Punk’d.”

But since it doesn’t happen week in and week out, my only explanation is, the entire viewership of That 70’s Show has been, in fact, Punk’d by Asthon Kutcher. The only difference is, every time I look around my house for a hidden camera, I can’t find one.

Of course, unless I’m looking at the hidden camera in my bedroom closet for the ladies…I’m just kidding.

Having grown up under the tutelage of the King of all things foolish – my father – I now have the tremendous urge to be the fooler, rather than the foolee. My apprenticeship consisted of being annually fooled into thinking there were ten feet of snow on the ground, a squirrel just flew by our window, Donny Osmond was coming to dinner, we were moving to Pakistan, etc. My father could always keep a straight face no matter what load of hogwash he was selling to me. His obvious delight, in the early years, was sweet. He laughed, I laughed. As I grew older, the sweetness turned sour and I would simply shake my head, thinking, “One of these days… One of these days…”

Face it, kids are pretty easy to fool, especially when the one pulling the wool over their eyes, is also the one who paid for the sweater! You see, children implicitly trust their parents more than anyone else in their tiny worlds. We are there from Day One, feeding, caring, fixing boo boos with a kiss, even performing “magic.” I mean it must be pretty magical to a two year old to see Mom put cold milk in the box on the counter, make it beep a couple times, and VOILA, out comes hot chocolate!

And what about the whole “always tell the truth” business? What parent hasn’t vocalized that one since their child was able to understand? We encourage trust, honesty, truth. What paragons of virtue we must be, right? To paraphrase the Big Bad Wolf, “All the better to fool you with my dear!” I mean what better audience for a good April Fool than those least likely to suspect you are full of #$%#@?

I admit that since having children, I too have delighted in tricking them into thinking we won the lottery, production on Barbie was being banned, and that the Backstreet Boys were really my brothers. (Boy, was I a cool Mom for about 20 minutes till my oldest daughter called my Mother who ratted me out.)

I have also learned though that those under the age of five are not equipped with “Reality Radar” and should not be fooled.

Case in point, my three year old was talking to me as I took a bath. Finished, I pulled the plug and as the water began to go down, I acted like I too was being pulled down the drain. Out she ran to get her Daddy to help me before I got sucked away. In the few seconds she was gone, I jumped out of the tub and hid behind the closet door. When she came running back with my husband, she immediately became hysterical! Tears streamed down her face as she screamed and screamed that Mommy had gotten washed down the drain! Emerging from my hiding spot, I held her close, assuring her that I was OK. Believe me, I felt like the biggest FOOL on the planet.

But, back to my father. After enduring thirty years of his chicanery, this year I have decided to finally turn my attention to “getting” him. A challenge of immense proportions, mind you. I will have to be tricky, look for weak spots, sneak in under his radar. Just what would make him temporarily lose his mind? Ten feet of snow won’t do it. Forget flying squirrels.

I’ve got it!

All I need is a little “donation” from a pregnant friend and the cooperation of my mother, who incidentally has been his victim far more times than I. I think he’ll be quite surprised when Mom emerges from the bathroom on April 1st holding a little pregnancy test with a bright red plus sign, don’t you? But how long to wait until I call and say, “April Fools!”?

Decisions, decisions…look out Dad, the crown has been passed to a new generation!!
