My brothers mates......often played nasty tricks on him.
One of the most memorable was to re-arrange his bedroom whilst he was out drinking, and to put the bed underneath the light fitting. They then took the light bulb out of the fitting, and placed it neatly in the bedclothes, directly underneath the fitting, as if it had fallen out.
They moved the cupboards over to the other side of the room, but left everything that was on the cupboards on the floor where the cupboard used to be, still arranged as they were on top of the cupboard.
He was rather pissed when he got back, clambered straight into the wall where he thought the bed was, fumbled around for the light switch, found the lights wouldn't come on, so he tried to find his bed. He found out, climbed in, only to find they'd put loads of dry leaves in between his sheets :)
Another memorable one was the 'Fish Prank Of Legends'.
My brother had two goldfish. For some reason, he kept them in separate bowls. One night, whilst he was drinking, his mates bought another goldfish and put it in one of the bowls.
My brother woke up the following morning, went to feed the fish, and noticed the extra one. He actually went into a pet shop to ask if baby fish were the same size as the adults shortly after being born. He was laughed out of the shop ;)
Baffled by his extra guest, he went for a drink at the pub, whereupon the barman approached him (having been let in on the gag) and said, 'Mike? Why the hell were you hanging around my fish pond at 3am this morning, stark bollock naked?' :D
Much hilarity ensued ;)
