Hamish and Andy's wildest pranks

News broke over the weekend that Hamish and Andy are leaving radio in 2017 and we are so gutted!

Hamish and Andy have been bringing hilarity to both screens and airwaves since 2006, but one thing that set them apart from everyone else were there pranks.

They have had the highest rating radio series for the last few years, and apparently have kept road rage over the ditch to an all time low.

Since their announcement that 2017 would be their last year on radio, we've gathered their craziest moments and compiled the hilarity below.

Finding the best bloke in Australia   

Hamish and Andy called called an unsuspecting Melbourne and asked him for a reference for a fake job interview that Hamish was interviewing for. 

What they didn't know was that when 23-year old James Lord answered the phone, he was ready to give the best reference of his life.

"I'll just tell them that you're a ripper bloke - I've got you covered."

Andy calls Lord not long after acting as "Graham Burn from Kells & Co.", a fake accounting firm and boy does he deliver.

"What you see is what you get with him, he's a go-getter and when he says things are going to get done, they'll get done," he emphasises.

They name James "the best bloke in the world" after his fake reference sent both Hamish and Andy into fits of laughter.

Scaring a co-worker to the point of wetting her pants

When Hamish and Andy managed to get their hands on "the most expensive and most realistic dinosaur on the planet" they decided to use it in the best way possible, by scaring the life out of  their co-workers.

As they round the corner of the deserted carpark, all of the co-workers get a huge fright with one even admitting she was so petrified she wet her pants.

"I wet my pants ... a little bit, "she said, to which Hamish responded, "We've got a code yellow!"
 

Blowing pepper up their noses

In the classic "Experimental as Anything" segment that quickly became a crowd favourite on the show, Hamish managed to convince Andy to see if he could sneeze with his eyes open.

Because sneezing was an integral part of the experiment, and Andy couldn't force one out, they decided to use a straw to blow pepper up Andy's nose.

This resulted in Andy being overcome with pain that could only be cured with water and saline solution.

Always a trooper, Lee still attempts to pull off the experiment, holding his eyes open as he sneezes.

Ghosting anyone and everyone

As well as the great gags, Hamish and Andy also came up with an amazing sport that caught the attention of the world.

This simple act of following someone as close as possible without them knowing was so popular, they were asked to teach it to the audiences of both 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' and 'The Graham Norton Show'.

Going Gorillas

Hamish and Andy don't limit their pranks to just humans, when they can be animals, they'll be animals too.

Heading to Werribee Open Range Zoo back in 2011, the duo donned some not very realistic gorilla costumes and were placed in their "enclosure" for the day. The vast majority of visitors to the zoo believed the prank as the boys traipsed around the enclosure, preening each other and no doubt laughing their heads off inside the suit.

Bondi vet Dr. Chris Evans helped prolong the prank, answering questions from visitors who were a little more sceptical.

Playing frisbee, riding bicycles and even escaping in one of the keeper's cars were all actions still believed by the visitors.

 
What's next for the boys

A "10 Years in 10 Weeks" special airs Monday 16 January 2017 while they complete their new TV show, created by their production company Radio Karate, which they hope will get picked up by Channel Nine.

Hamish and Andy will start their final year doing the drive shift on 27 March next year.

It's safe to say that's going to be an emotional day.
