How to be an Elementary School Bully
Ranked #10,362 in Entertainment, #128,198 overall
Choose Your Victim
As a general rule, look for someone smaller and weaker than you are.
The fewer friends they have to back them up, the better!
Also, be sure to give them a "nickname." Here are some suggestions:
*Freak
*Spaz
*Weirdo
*Four-Eyes
*Nerd
*Freckle-Snoot
*Scarecrow
*Wimp
*Blubber
*Bones
*Shrimp
Be creative!
Kick Me
Perfect for when you're JUST starting to bully your victim...This trick will only work for a limited time. Eventually your victim will learn not to trust you. Enjoy it while you can.
STEP ONE:
Pretend to give your victim a pat on the back.
STEP TWO:
Stick a sign to the victim's back that says "Kick Me."
STEP THREE:
Stand back and watch the ensuing hilarity.
Wet WIlly
STEP ONE:Get your finger soaking wet with saliva.
STEP TWO:
Insert your finger in victim's ear.
!!!WARNING!!!
This may cause an ear infection. Make sure that the victim's parents have no way of knowing you're responsible for their child's trip to the ear doctor.
Spitballs
STEP ONE:Take a piece of paper and put it in your mouth
STEP TWO:
Chew on it until it's sopping wet with your saliva.
STEP THREE:
Chuck it at your victim!
Noogies
Also Known as a "Dutch Rub"
STEP ONE:Put your victim in a headlock.
STEP TWO:
Rub your knuckles quickly back and forth over your victim's head, causing friction and irritation.
Making Them Eat Gross Things
STEP ONE:Pin your victim down somehow.
STEP TWO:
Force feed them "gross" things
Suggestions:
*Bugs
*Grass
*Dirt
*Crayons
*Anything slimy
Swirlies
Can be done by yourself or with a group if you're not strong enough.STEP ONE:
Turn victim upside-down
STEP TWO:
Holding onto victim's legs, dunk victim's head into the toilet bowl
STEP THREE:
FLUSH! Watch victim's hair "swirl."
Tip: Works better if the toilet lid is up!
Drinking Fountain
STEP ONE:Turn on the drinking fountain
STEP TWO:
When your victim walks by, use your hand to aim the water
STEP THREE:
Laugh at your victim's soggy misery
Indian Burn
STEP ONE:Grasp victim's forearm
STEP TWO:
Twist your hands in opposite directions. Repeat until victim's arm is dark red with soreness.
Dead Finger
STEP ONE:Extend pinky finger
STEP TWO:
Pinky stiff; wrist loose. Flick your pinky quickly on your victim's bare skin.
Rat Tail
The Art of Towel Snapping
Take a towel, usually damp (to hold the shape!), and twist it along the diagonal to make a whip.From there, snap the towel as you would crack a whip. Should cause your victim stinging pain where struck!
It's all in the wrist.
TAKES PRACTICE!!!
Purple Nurple
AKA: Nipple Cripple or T*tty Twister
STEP ONE:Locate your victim's nipples.
STEP TWO:
Grasp your victim's nipple(s) firmly with your thumb and index finger.
STEP THREE:
Twist. HARD!!
Tip: For speed & effectiveness, twist their left nipple clockwise and their right nipple counterclockwise
Hertz Doughnut
This technique and the two following it all involve tricking your victim into giving you their own unwitting permission to abuse them.YOU: Would you like a Hertz Donut?
VICTIM: Yeah!!
(At this juncture you punch your victim)
YOU: Hurts, DON'T IT?!*
*Pronounced like "doughnut"
Tip: This trick works even better if you happen to have a doughnut/doughnut box to fool them with...
Button Face
STEP ONE:Ask your victim "Would you like a Button Face?"
STEP TWO:
If they say "yes" or "What's a Button Face?" then that's your cue to knock them down and sit on their face!
Get it?! Butt ON face!
Apple Core/Baltimore
When with a group of friends and looking to start a food fight (or simply want an excuse to throw food at someone you don't like), play this "game."STEP ONE:
Hold up the core of an apple and call out "Apple core!"
STEP TWO:
Have someone respond "Baltimore"
STEP THREE:
Say "Who's your friend??"
STEP FOUR:
From there, throw--with great force!--your apple core at whichever "friend" is named.
Pantsing
Taking Off Someone's Pants Without Their Permission
STEP ONE:Sneak up behind your victim
STEP TWO:
Grab ahold of their pants' waistband
STEP THREE:
Pull down. QUICKLY!
Tip: This works best when your victim is not wearing a belt.
Wedgie
The Classic
Can be done by yourself or with a group.STEP ONE:
Locate the waistband of your victim's underwear and grab onto it.
STEP TWO:
Pull upward, wedging their underwear painfully between their butt-cheeks.
Lunch Money
"Mugging" is Such an Ugly Word...
Bullying takes a lot of effort.You'll need to be compensated.
Demand your victim give you their lunch money. (You can make $1 to $5 daily!)
At first, you may have to take the lunch money by force--you may even need to enlist the help of your friends--but eventually your victim will wise up and hand over the cash without fuss. At this point, the beatings you dish out will be optional.
Flat Tire
There are many ways to trip and push your victim--from simply extending your food at they walk by to tying their shoelaces together. The classic "Flat Tire" maneuver goes like this:STEP ONE:
Walk closely behind your victim.
STEP TWO:
When the time is right, step on their heel. (The back of their shoe).
STEP THREE:
Make sure you keep your foot firmly in place. This will cause your victim to trip (and maybe even fall!). This will also let your victim know that your actions were on purpose and this was not a "flat tire" that one gets when accidentally walking too closely behind someone else.

- This is an incredibly good lens. I am going to recommend it for lens of the day. I have never heard of the "Dead Finger" one. I imagine that it would hurt the person attached to the finger more than it would hurt the victim.

- Thank you very much!
I had dead finger used on me several times throughout my life and it never seemed to hurt the person using it! Though I've tried to do it just to see if I could and, while it didn't hurt me, I couldn't get it to work properly... Guess I'm just not meant to be a bully! But that's a good thing, I think. ;)

- This is a great lens. I found myself laughing my head off. It should be a children's book or a TV show on NIck :) Thank you for lightening my day but still publishing a great message.

- What a hilarious lens! Brings back memories, indeed. But poor random kid who's going to be bullied by someone who has read this. A well done lens. Hey, I just published my fourth lens called the 3 Shortcuts to Happiness and would love to know what you think of it. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Blessings! Sundae ;-)
