This Dad Thought He Wouldn’t Fall For His Daughter’s Christmas Prank Again, But His Daughter Is An Evil Genius
Christmas time is family time, which means catching up with all the people that you grew up with, even if you don’t see them very often anymore. Spending long, relaxed days with your parents, as well as those long-lost cousins you used to make mischief with, can really bring out that impish inner child again, making it the perfect time for funny pranks!
Scottish singer Judy Brown knows this all too well and has a hilarious Christmas time tradition: winding her father up. Taking advantage of his love for Ferrero Rocher chocolates, a deliciously sweet and nutty bite, she successfully pranked him back in 2016 by inserting rogue brussels sprouts in amongst his favorite treats, carefully wrapped as to avoid detection.
“I just wrapped the sprouts so he would open them (all sealed up as if new) and he was horrified to find the disgusting mini cabbages of doom,” Judy explained to Bored Panda. “What I also did that year, as I KNEW that when my brother arrived Dad would try to play the trick on him (you see where I get it from?) was I warned my bro and told him where the real Rocher were in the box – so every time he went for one he got real chocolate, but Dad kept landing on sprouts. That really made it the best prank I’ve pulled so far.”

For me, the brussels sprout, AKA the devil’s testicle, is a notoriously nasty and universally hated vegetable that has wrongly weaseled its way onto the traditional Christmas Eve table. The gulf in expectations between a delicately crunchy ball of chocolatey goodness and this disgusting dwarf-cabbage could not be greater, and therein lies the true beauty of this prank. But two years later, with her poor dad still traumatized and extremely wary, could Judy somehow manage to pull it off again?

She decided to give it a go and went all in. Playing the ‘long game,’ Judy’s tale is masterfully told in a viral twitter thread, and it is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud!

“I will have to be really careful for the rest of the holiday as he will find a way to get me back,” Judy told us with a chuckle. “As for next year, I don’t yet know how I’ll top this. But I’m sure going to try.”

OMG "green fart-balloons!!"... Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Load More Replies...I often do this with Halloween candies filled with candy wraps, which I exchange for real chocolate. And, as a fellow prankster, I think there's just one thing that could be done better here: not replacing all candies with sprouts. So much chocolate was wasted to replicate real Ferreros. If you randomly selected just a few of the real chocolates and replaced them with sprouts, you may have even further assured the pranked person that the sweets were real and then... the horror!
I was in pain and trying to find something to take my mind off long enough to fall asleep. I think I might have woken my neighbours with laughing so loudly and so much. And then not only green fart ballons but the devils testicles as well.Thank you!😂
This is so funny! But I'm sorry everyone hates Brussel sprouts! Sauteed in bacon fat or coconut oil in a hot iron pan, dusted with salt and lots of butter or turned into roasties in the oven they can be amazing. But you can't overcook them. Then they're just horrid...
Bacon onions garlic salt butter , makes many things better. * goes to stove, makes bacon onions garlic salt butter. *leaves out the horrible green fart splodgy things* Yup yummy.

What i would do: Do exactly that but make one normal. Then i'll go "it's normal, see." And eat the normal one.
Brilliant! I'm looking forward to seeing chocolate covered Brussel sprouts on Bizzare foods.
I'm curious to know what did he do to deserve such an evil child lol
I would never accept a gift from this person again. I wouldn't even trust a non-food gift.
Probably the most unfunny practical joke I've ever heard of. And so unoriginal! I've read about this particularly unfunny joke many times.
Childish. Nasty. Might be fun but when things go wrong (e.g. less serious broke his teeth/dentures or tragically choked to death) let's see if you are still laughing at his grave.
Uhhh what? Why would he choke, and also Brussels sprouts aren’t solid enough to break teeth on

Nah, sounds like he already had his share in previous years: “he usually inhales them at 750mph”.
Load More Replies...I don't really care for this kind of humor. He's your dad, treat him with due respect. Feels like a vendetta that will only end in a big fight.
Well he did obviously didn't mind- the post mentions that he will get her back, and suggests that he is a fellow prankster.
