Something can only be considered a prank if the target thinks its funny

I disagree strongly. An important use of pranks is a way for the meek and powerless to puncture the overinflated egos of the powerful and obnoxious. That type of prank is rarely appreciated by its victim, and it can be quite nasty. That doesn't mean it isn't a prank; it's just a mean spirited one.

It's easy for anyone to see themselves as meek and whoever they don't like as obnoxious. So this is a license to be nasty to whoever you want.
