Don't underestimate the lenghts some people will go through for a harmless prank. But you are probably correct a modern phone's fingperprint-reader is probably not fooled by an etched stick of gummibear.
Incidentally - I always wanted to have a device that you could stick your finger into, that would use a, let's say, laser to etch different fingerprints onto the tip of my finger.

IIRC there was an attack that was able to get past the liveliness checks by putting the fingerprint replica (a thin piece of dried elmers glue) onto a real finger.
