I definitely prefer the sort of stuff Square Enix does. Like a little 8-bit trailer for a fake game centered around this one thirsty as hell NPC last year. Or this year where they "previewed" an FF XIV manga set in modern day. I didn't get a GOOD look at the page but I'm pretty sure Alphinaud was running to school with toast in his mouth.
They also did this Omega thing this year, a fake commercial for this not-Siri based on the ancient dimension-hopping primal robot that is very Mean and Disdainful toward Organics, but it didn't land as hard with me.

Yes, I prefer stuff that is absurd gags that are clearly meant to be laughed with from the start. Playing the fool rather than making people into fools for believing you.
My favourite prank is the little alert thing that pops up on the forums and I'm like OH LOOK PERHAPS SOMEONE HAS MENTIONED LITTLE OLD ME OR WANTS TO DRAW MY ATTENTION TO SOMETHING LOOK AT THAT GLORIOUS LITTLE 1 NEXT TO THAT TINY EARTH JUST THINK SOMEONE HAS THOUGHT OF ME and then I click on it and I see that I have been given another April Fool's Badge to add to my collection.
See, this would be an EXCELLENT April Fool's prank if calling that number gave you a reference code you could use to get $1990 off a new Honda Passport.

I took a look at twitter this morning and could not tell the difference between jokes and not jokes, that's where we're at
Right wing members of British parliament hatch plan to steal ceremonial mace in order to disrupt British parliament but give up when they realise they are too stupid to steal anything, fake April fools headline or real thing that happened? None can say!
I was gonna make a candy tray to leave by the coffee pot at work containing such delights as chocolate covered green olives, peanut brittle with chickpeas instead of peanuts, and bacon habanero fudge. But I've been broke and busy so I'm gonna have to sit on that one until Christmas
How badly can you poison someone before it stops being a prank and starts being an attack, like if I slip you something that makes you shit yourself on public transit is that a prank, seems like a prank

This is the level of satire I demand from all news organizations. Anything less than that is indistinguishable from the daily embellishment and outright lying done in the service of clicks and/or political agendas. The press, as a whole, has not lately been earning the sort of goodwill you need to get away with "fun pranks"

FFG jokes, but I would totally buy this and I know a lot of other people who would too.
The classic spaghetti harvest documentary. When the BBC later received letters from people asking how they could grow their own spaghetti trees, they responded that people should "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."
Oh right, today's the day people march around in San Francisco with a percentage of them talking the opportunity to walk around nude.
At least our office is not directly across from where they'd all gather anymore.

I'm not gonna lie, chickpea brittle sounds pretty ok.

That's the beauty, each treat is shockingly bizarre, but probably actually pretty decent once you figure out what the fuck. Spicy chocolates are awesome, I bet bacon habanero fudge is actually pretty rad.

I'd say that's the key to making it work. Tricking people into eating something gross is a prank that will just leave a lot of people irritated but "surprise it wasn't what you thought it would be but is still good" is a great prank.

you're consistently delightful, and that's no joke!

This is the kind of troll ass April fool's article I like
Yeah this one got me I was gearing up for an angry rebuttal before I even finished the headline.
on that note

I mentioned in the branddog poll thread that this account is one of the few pure gimmick accounts and I stand by this statement.
Elaborate setup, three years of preparation, and he notified the police and FAA ahead of time to prevent a panic.
The guy also stomped and spraypainted "APRIL FOOL" into the snow in 50 foot letters so it could be seen from passing aircraft.
