I'm beginning my journey in Godot and exploring online tutorials. I was wondering if anyone has created games featuring pranks or jokes, especially ones where players can remove, sell, or disable items if they don't enjoy them or grow bored.

These are often referred to as Easter Eggs.
A notable example comes from the Lego: Lord of the Rings PC game, where you can discover a hidden item called Mithril Disco Phial. Once you have it, all NPCs nearby begin dancing and a great song plays.

Many Lego games contain various such amusing Easter Eggs.
Additionally, every Lego game includes "cheats" that you can earn, unlock, and adjust as you see fit—such as doubling studs, gaining invincibility, or playing 8-bit music.
This kind of feature is quite typical in the video game industry.

And even within standard applications. Excel included a modest Mars mission simulation. In MS Word, among the developers or contributors section, scrolling to the end revealed "You" along with a pinball game.

Diablo II featured The Diggler, a quirky fictional porn star from Boogie Nights named after the character Dirk Diggler. I'm certain there are numerous others in WoW, though none immediately come to mind. There are many normal Easter eggs and pop culture nods, like the "The goggles! They do nothing!" joke that also referenced The Simpsons. There are also countless games with unusual or humorous equipment, and Mr. Toots from Red Faction Armageddon has been frequently adapted into other titles.

Many games also feature pranks (some amusing while others break the rules), but these are considered a type of DRM.
