8/15/2023 0 Comments Broken tv prank on parents![]() What’s real, and what is a setup? What counts as courage, and what is plain stupidity? By the end of the first episode, I’m engrossed.” Read the full review Colin from Accounts It leaves so many tantalising threads just waiting to unravel. What we said: “This drama shares some of its DNA with The Responder, though it has a marginally less cynical edge, and a more complex political and historical landscape at its heart. Impeccably written characters, charmingly blossoming relationships between colleagues, and one of the most tragic TV deaths of the year give this gripping procedural the potential to become the next Line of Duty. In practice, it breathes new life into a much-done style of TV by taking a bird’s eye view of a city still coming to terms with the legacy of the Troubles – and the problematic nature of policing it. On paper, this Belfast police drama provides a fresh twist on the genre by following three new recruits to the Police Service of Northern Ireland, with a couple of months of probation left to go. Can a new sitcom really mine some primetime BBC One belly laughs from the beleaguered institution? It’s a big ask, but the answer – pretty miraculously – is yes.” Read the full review Blue Lights What we said: “Between the institutional racism, the institutional misogyny and the institutional homophobia, the Metropolitan police isn’t exactly steeped in hilarity. This sitcom from Famalam duo Akemnji Ndifornyen and Gbemisola Ikumelo takes the premise of two definitely “not street” community support officers forced to go undercover in a drug gang due to a lack of Black coppers – and turns it into one of the year’s most fantastic farces. It’s chock-a-block with gags, a tour-de-force of comic timing and definitely the funniest show you’ll see which shines a light on institutional racism in the police force. Plus, if you’re helping them prank everyone else… they can’t prank you.Fantastic farce … Black Ops. On the morning of April 1, wake them extra early to help them find the perfect spots for each. Take your kiddo on an after school Dollar Tree run and let them buy a few cheap pranks like fake vomit and whoopee cushions. You can also hide some dye at the bottom of a cereal bowl that will begin to mix and appear as they start to eat. Put a few drops of food die under the brim of the sink faucet, so blue, green or red water runs out when someone goes to brush their teeth. Use plastic wrap to block the top of all bottles - from shampoo/conditioner to the sugar shaker next to the coffee maker. Print it out and cut to a “ticket-sized” slip of paper, then slide it under their windshield wipers. Help your kiddo write a very official-looking but sweet note to their other parent or newly driving sibling. Put tape over the remote sensor and watch Dad or a bigger sibling scramble to replace the batteries when they can’t get it to work. Similarly, consider having them flavor the creamer so it tastes like peppermint or chocolate instead of plain. Or empty out a K-cup and see if Dad notices he only made hot water, instead of coffee. ![]() Is your SO someone who sleepwalks through their breakfast routine? Help your kiddo to switch the milk and the OJ containers, so their parent pours OJ into their cereal. Watch everyone get frustrated when it won’t work. Put tape over the bottom of the mouse on the family computer. See how far you can get before they finally interrupt the process. Convince them they’re running late and don’t give them a chance to correct you. On Saturday, wake your kids for school like it’s Friday or Monday. ![]() This will ruin your chance to sleep in but might be totally worth it. Just consider giving a back-up lunch or sticking lunch money in their lunchbox, so they have a backup option. Similarly, you can smear icing on their sandwich, instead of mayo. Scrape out the filling in your kids’ Oreos and replace it with toothpaste. May the odds be ever in your favor, Mama Pranksters. The key is to have fun and (try not to) worry about the mess later. These could be as simple as the toothpaste in Oreos prank, as messy as Saran wrap on the toilet or as convoluted as, well, some of these ideas. If you have the right kind of kid, they’ll even enjoy if you play a few pranks on them. When was the last time you went all out for April Fools Day? Most kids are ecstatic at the idea of a day full of jokes and pranks, but they sometimes need a little help creating the mischief.
