Sam: Man, we’re not kids anymore, Dean. We’re not gonna start that crap up again.
Dean: Start what up?
Dean: Oh, bring it on, Baldy.
Sam: That prank stuff—it’s stupid, and it always escalates.
Dean: Oh, what’s the matter, Sammy, you afraid you’re gonna get a little Nair in your shampoo again, huh?
Sam: All right. Just remember, you started it.
– , 1.17 Hell House
Supernatural has a great tradition of pranks both on the Show and behind the scenes. In 2007 Jared also hosted MTV's Room 401 which was a horror version of Punk'd.
Pranks on the Show
In 1.17 Hell House, Dean pops a spoon in Sam's mouth while he sleeps in the car and snaps a photo of it - and the prank war is on! There is obviously a long history of this between the brothers - Dean refers to putting Nair in Sam's shampoo. Next up Sam messes with the Impala so when Dean turns on the ignition salsa music blares from the radio and the windscreen wipers start up. Dean retaliates with itching powder in Sam's underwear. Not to be outdone, Sam puts superglue on Dean's beer bottle so it sticks to his hand.
Finally Sam and Dean call a truce and turn their attentions to Ed Zeddmore and Harry Spangler, with Sam calling them posing as Hollywood producer who wants to option their website and make a movie and RPG based on them. Dean puts a dead fish in their back seat.
The Trickster aka Gabriel was all about pranks - and it was no surprise that the others Gods knew him as Loki. In 2.15 Tall Tales, he messes with the boys to make them argue - so Dean thinks Sam has let down the tires on the Impala and Sam that Dean has messed with his laptop.
His ultimate prank is trapping them in an endless cycle of TV shows in 5.08 Changing Channels.
Pranks behind the Scenes
The Gag Reels featured on each Season's DVDs give a pretty good idea of the fun to be had behind the scenes on Supernatural.
- Fandom got an idea that organised pranks were a part of the Supernatural set from the Season 2 Gag reel. During the filming of 2.06 No Exit, as Jensen and then Jared climb down into a narrow, vertical concrete manhole, the crew under direction of Kim Manners dumped gallons of cold water down on them.
- In an interview in June 2008, Jared said they had a plan to get Kim back. It was during this interview that the Twizzler incident occurred.
- During 2.11 Playthings, Jared Padalecki stated that he and Jensen Ackles were somewhat freaked out by the room of blank-staring dolls in this episode. They kept daring each other to "poke" one particular eyeless doll in the eye sockets or to stand alone in the room. The pranks escalated slightly when Jared put a few of the dolls in Jensen's trailer "just to freak him out".
- During the filming of 3.10 Dream a Little Dream of Me, during the scene where Bobby is in hospital, Jared kept twisting Jim Beaver's toes, trying to get him to laugh. At the Salute to Supernatural Chicago 2008, Jared and Jensen related the following anecdote:
Jim was lying in a hospital bed, trying to deliver his lines to Jensen and Jared, and just off camera, Jared was trying to make him mess up by playing with his toes while he was lying there. ... Jensen said Jared was playing “This Little Piggy Went to Market” and everything. Despite the distraction from Jared, Jensen said Jim delivered his lines perfectly and then as soon as the cameras stopped, yelled “What’s wrong with you?” to Jared. Jared said that Jim has “toes of steel” and that he was very impressed and will have to step up his game.

ELLEN RULES!
At near the end of filming of Season 5, Ellen DeGeneres announced plans for world domination - a challenge some saw to the rule of @mishacollins. Production Assistant Lesley DeHaan, known to fandom as @vancouvernights, took the teasing onto the set. She then organised fans to bring cut-out pictures of Ellen to Asylum Europe: No Rest for the Wicked 2010. The results are captured in this video.
THE UNDERWEAR PRANK
At Salute to Supernatural Chicago 2009, Richard Speight Jr. told the story of finding a pair of pumpkin colored briefs in his trailer.

The Wardrobe Department had later laundered them and put them in Richard's trailer by mistake.
