Law 15: Crush your enemy totally (with kindness and comedy)

In the world of power and deception, the goal is often to crush your enemies and eliminate them as a threat. But in the world of mischief, the goal is to crush your enemies with kindness and comedy, turning them into unwitting accomplices in your hilarious escapades.

Take, for example, the classic "kill them with kindness" prank. When faced with a rival or adversary, don't stoop to their level or engage in a battle of wits. Instead, disarm them with your charm, your humor, and your unfailing good nature. The more you can make them laugh, the less likely they are to view you as a threat, and the more likely they are to join in the fun and become a part of your mischievous crew.

Law 16: Use absence to increase respect and honor (and anticipation for your next prank)

In the world of mischief, a little absence can go a long way in building anticipation and excitement for your next hilarious escapade. By taking a step back and letting your reputation speak for itself, you can create a sense of mystery and intrigue that will leave your friends and followers eagerly awaiting your return.

So, don't be afraid to take a break from the spotlight every now and then, and let your past pranks and comedic exploits do the talking. The more you can build up a sense of anticipation and expectation, the more impact your next big reveal will have, and the more laughter and joy you'll be able to spread.

Law 17: Keep others in suspended terror: cultivate an air of unpredictability (and hilarity)

In the world of mischief, the key to keeping your audience engaged and entertained is to cultivate an air of unpredictability and hilarity. The more you can keep them guessing, the more they'll hang on your every word and eagerly await your next comedic masterstroke.

Take, for example, the classic "jack-in-the-box" prank. By setting up a seemingly innocuous scenario—like a simple gift exchange or a friendly game of catch—you can lull your target into a false sense of security, only to surprise them with a sudden and hilarious reveal. The more unpredictable your pranks, the more memorable and entertaining they'll be, and the more your audience will come to appreciate your unique brand of comedy.

Law 18: Do not build fortresses to protect yourself—isolation is dangerous (and boring)

In the world of mischief, isolation is not only dangerous but downright boring. After all, what's the point of pulling off an epic prank if there's no one around to appreciate it?

So, instead of building fortresses and hiding away from the world, surround yourself with a crew of like-minded miscreants and mischief-makers who share your love of laughter and your appreciation for the art of the prank. Together, you can create a force field of fun that will leave even the grumpiest of Guses cracking a smile and joining in the laughter.

Law 19: Know who you're dealing with—do not offend the wrong person (or you might end up on the receiving end of their next prank)

In the world of mischief, it's important to know your audience and tailor your pranks to their unique sense of humor and tolerance for tomfoolery. After all, the last thing you want to do is offend the wrong person and end up on the receiving end of their next epic prank.

So, do your homework, get to know your targets, and make sure your pranks are always in good fun and never at someone else's expense. The better you understand the people you're dealing with, the more successful your comedic endeavors will be, and the more laughter and joy you'll be able to spread.

Law 20: Do not commit to anyone (unless they're in on the joke)

In the world of mischief, commitment can be a tricky thing. After all, the last thing you want to do is tie yourself down to someone who doesn't share your love of laughter or your appreciation for the art of the prank.

So, before you commit to anyone, make sure they're in on the joke and up for a good laugh. The more you surround yourself with like-minded individuals who share your sense of humor and your passion for mischief, the more opportunities you'll have to create memorable and hilarious experiences that will leave a lasting impression.
