Here are some of the best jokes and riskiest pranks we've seen from the master of disguise over the years.

He sure pulled a few fast ones, especially for this skit where participants are made to keep a straight face while consuming what might have been one of the worst products ever tested on people in front of a camera.
Thanks for the laugh, Leon!
2. Leon at the Golf Club Schuster enjoys pranking golf clubs so much, that there's an entire compilation of several sketches where Leon goes to play golf Well, not so much play golf as irritate other people who are trying to play the game.

3. Leon and the taxi What should you do when you see prankster Schuster near a taxi? Ask where he hid the joke.
In this classic Schuster skit, a South African taxi was turned into a makeshift hearse as a casket was dragged on as the extra passenger.
Hilarious For everyone except the passengers.
4. Schuster and Naas Botha It's just been a very successful Rugby World Cup for South Africa, and Naas Botha is still fresh in our memories from last time! Watch below as the great local prankster crosses paths with one of the most famous sports stars.

5. Schuster pranks the AWB? The funniest thing about Leon is that he'll prank anyone Yes, even when the prank is risky or dangerous. Once upon a time, Schuster pranked the far-right Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) - and no, they weren't happy when he gate-crashed their event.
