Prank Musical Card That Won't Stop Clapping

A round of applause is lovely. Three hours of it is a test of character. This Prank Musical Card starts clapping when someone removes it from the envelope, then keeps going until the card is destroyed or the battery gives up. That battery lasts about three hours, which is an impressive commitment to a very silly joke.

This suits the friend who already treats birthday cards as an opportunity for retaliation. That friend enjoys the gap between expecting a quick musical greeting and realizing the audience has no intention of going home. You can personalize the message, too, if the standard cheeky greeting doesn’t quite suit your target.

There’s also an optional glitter upgrade, but the relentless applause seems like plenty on its own. Glitter turns a noisy prank into a cleanup job. Keep this one for someone who enjoys being on the receiving end of a joke, not someone you’re hoping to annoy into liking you.
