Forget the bucket of water over the door or hiding in closets, the best prank of all has been identified.

The genius of Swedish man, Manfred Hanberg, has finally been recognised through his Vine account.

Manfred is sitting down quietly with his friend who is playing a video game when he begins to mimic the sound your phone makes when you get a message from any of the twelve hundred communication apps you have, leaving his friend very confused.

After falling for it, frankly, far too many times, he eventually gets sick of Manfred's playacting and shouts “Va fan!” which, translated to English means: "What the hell!”

What the hell, Manfred?
