Simple, yet stupid, and fun - those are the characteristics of most prank products, and the following list is a proof of that. From sport related pranks like special golf balls, to annoying the crap out of your office buddies by using a remote control, it is all here.

Voice Changer Professional Version

In case you want to make the old-school phone call pranks to friends, you got better chances to be successful if your voice isn’t recognizable.

To achieve the desired effect, use the Professional Voice Changer in which you can adjust the pitch to make the voice sound go higher, or lower.

It plugs into your phone so you do not have to hold it over the phone’s mouthpiece.

Installs in seconds by plugging into the handset and base of any single line phone. Will not work on multiline phone systems.

The Voice Changer is available at Amazon for $35.

Remote Control Middle Finger

The middle finger can be used in plenty of different occasions, be it with friends at home, on the office with the buddies, and also onyour car to express your “gratitude” to other drivers.

The wireless remote control has a range of 50 feet (15 meters) and in order to work, just press the button and watch the middle finger rise up.

Give someone the finger with the push of a button. Remote-control allows finger to magically rise up and flip ‘em the bird!

It costs $28 at PrankPlace.

The Remote-Controlled Tarantula

Do you have friends that suffer from Arachnophobia? Also known as being very afraid of spiders? If the answer was yes, and for some odd reason you want to scare them to death, maybe the Remote-Controlled Tarantula is exactly what you need.

To make it similar to a real spider, it even is a bit hairy. You will need a couple of AA batteries to get the prank done right: 2 batteries for the remote control, and another 2 for the tarantula.

This remote-control tarantula scurries across flat surfaces like an actual arachnid, moving forwards, backwards, and rotates 360. The spider’s eight legs move independently and the eyes light up, allowing you to frighten unsuspecting arachnophobes day or night.

Priced at $25 on Hammacher.

Digital photo frames are all the rage right now and are a hot holiday gift item this holiday season. You can easily display all those digital photos you’ve taken with your digital camera and have stored on your computer to show everyone from friends to family to co-workers.

ThinkGeek offers the Keychain Digital Photo Frame which is a tiny frame that can store up to 64 of your favorite photos and show them off to your friends, family and co-workers whenever they mention “how’s your family doing?” The only downside is perhaps it’s 1.1″ sized screen, but for a keychain, how big can you really go with screen sizes? Also, I really wish that it was compatible with the Mac - but for now, it’s Windows only. Read the rest of this entry »

Christmas is coming, and what better way to celebrate it than with the Nightmare Before Xmas Little Taps?

Each Little Taps is a shining star in Japanese toy technology. You see, we are only offering you Jack because he’s the coolest (and because he actually dances to songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas) - but there are many different characters from many different cartoons and movies. And they all plug together to form huge dance lines. You’ll have to hunt down other characters, but simply attach them to your Jack and they will follow his lead - not duplicating his steps, mind you, but adding their own rhythms to Jack’s nightmarish dance. It will take your breath away. But as we still want you to breathe, we’re only offering you Jack.

The Nightmare Before Xmas Little Taps can be picked up for $14.99.
