Honestly, I found that prank (précis: college A sabotages college B's materials to mistakenly spell college A's name at a football game) to be quite profoundly un-funny, reminiscent of those awful "kids at camp" movies where the "hero" kids would do something to make the "enemy" kids all fall into the water, or something. I guess my idea of funny pranks would be something like The Chaser (Australian TV Show), not sure what the US equivalent would be.
