Hello! Our party have a big, strong and violent half orc barbarian. Even though he is totally leathal with his greataxe, he is as smart as a rock. I would like to make some good practical jokes on him and wanted to use prestidigitation, minor illusion and mage hand to do it. Do you have an idea of something funny to do?
My ideas so far: Giving the barbarian lipstick for 1 hour ("You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour.") Clean him up ("You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot" - several uses needed) Make his underwear (or trousers in case he dont use underwear) to ice cold fopr a minute. Then changing to very hot. After a miute go back to cold. ("You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour") His shoes is also going to start talking to him ("If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends.")
Other ideas is welcome!
Also, what skill would be used to try to be "stealthy" with a spell? Arcana, stealth or sleight of hand?
Just wanted to say that I don't allow stealthy spellcasting. When I DM, spellcasting is obvious. This really lets the subtle metamagic shine for the sorcerers. If you want to be stealthy about it, choose spells with a long range or spells that don't have verbal components.
Soil someone's underwear for an hour. Fart smelling puff of wind from someone 's read end or possibly mouth? (Flavor could be smell and description says you can add flavor)
While a little player vs. player action can be amusing at times in good fun, it can easily get out of hand. As a DM if you tried to cast a spell directly on the barbarian or anything he is wearing or holding I would allow the barbarian to make a wisdom save vs. your spell save DC even if the spell says there is no save. This would not however prevent you from doing things like using mage hand to move his tankard of mead every time he tries to reach for it, pull his chair out as he is about to sit down or, creating the illusion of a pit opening where he is about to step.

Some good ideas for pranks there.

Mate hand to pinch he butt while peeing
minor illusion to make the tusks glitter
put a mouth on the axe and have it tell him it loves him
Soil someone's underwear for an hour.
