Have you ever unwrapped a present and immediately questioned the judgment of the person who gave it to you? That’s exactly the reaction Prank-O hopes to inspire. The company has made a business out of creating hilariously absurd products that look surprisingly convincing, at least until you look closer.
Founded by Ryan Walther and Arik Nordby, Prank-O specializes in empty gift boxes decorated with fictional inventions, complete with professional-looking product photographs, made-up brands, and ridiculous marketing claims. The idea is simple: hide a real present inside one of these boxes and enjoy the recipient’s confusion before they discover what’s actually waiting for them. We’ve featured Prank-O’s creations on Bored Panda before, and now the company is back with five new designs that take everyday problems to wonderfully unnecessary extremes.
From questionable bathroom accessories to inventions that probably shouldn’t exist, there’s plenty to laugh about. Take a look at the five new boxes below, and let us know in the comments which one you’d most like to give someone as a gift!
