Influencers trying to be clever but winding up just being insensitive
Another minor thing I don't like is forgetting or not paying attention to the date and wondering what the hell is happening on the internet, your favorite sites and subscriptions etc.
Like 99.99% of the "pranks" aren't pranks, but are just bullying excused by this stupid fucking holiday

The worst April fools joke I can remember was EGM, which putting an April Fools joke in a fucking published magazine which is nearly guaranteed to never arrive on April 1st is moronic, but it was fucking Mushroom Kingdom Hearts.
I was telling people about that for months without realizing it was fake.

Their April edition always had one joke.
I'm old enough to remember the first one I ever saw with Yoshi's head on a dragonite in Pokemon Red/Blue, claiming he was capturable after an absurd process.
And, of-course, Sonic and Tales unlocking in Smash Brothers Melee after a similarly-ridiculous challenge.

Every year growing up my dad would look out the window and say “There’s a moose in the yard” and every year we would run to see it
There was no moose
Today I called him and asked if he’d seen a moose and he goes “Oh yeah there’s one that hangs out in the neighbors yard a lot, it’s not even scared of people, it’s got a calf now”
And I’m not sure if he forgot his joke after 20 years or if he’s going ALL IN

Yeah I remember reading in a Nintendo Power that there was a Hanson 64 coming, as well as another joke game that was supposed to feature a ton of cameos. Not realizing it was the goddamn april issue.
Also woke up this morning to one of my favorite twitch streamers announcing that she was moving her stream to Facebook live or whatever the fuck. So that has genuinely upset me for reasons I wont get into.
While I loved working on ThinkGeek April Fool's, I'm pretty happy to not be working on ThinkGeek April Fool's. Shit was fucking exhausting.
...Also getting yelled at by the lawyers from HBO because The Ds were getting themselves in a twist was exhausting. Though, after what they did to the last season - they can go fuck themselves and we should have gone even harder at them.
Getting a call from the head of Rosetta Stone was great though.

At least the Hanson 64 joke was extremely obviously a joke.
Mushroom Kingdom Hearts was a tiny box in the corner of the magazine and it sounded completely plausible. And like I said, I got the issue in either March or May.

I forget which magazine, but there was the infamous nude Lara Croft code. Had to input some combination of movements to a Spice Girls song if I remember right. Young, dumb, horny me tried that a lot thinking I was just screwing it up. I had no concept of companies making April fools jokes and no idea that it was an April issue anyway...

Low-key jokes can elicit a chuckle, still. But I think I'm just too tired to pretend to care for something elaborate.
Edit: mixed up my drafts. I like the picture below ☺️

Two days ago, March 30th, Jack in the Box said on their twitter that they were discontinuing the Sourdough Jack burger.
Today they said haha tricked you we're not getting rid of it.
So either they were lying on not April Fool's Day and told the truth today, or they were telling the truth then and this statement today was a lie and so tomorrow they'll say no we're still getting rid of it.

1st of April 1962 Swedish state TV aired a segment that said they’d just updated the tv station equipment to support color tv
All you had to do was put a nylon stocking over your tv and you’d get color

One year on April Fools my sister snuck into my room and tied all of my cloths into knots. At the time I was very bad at tying/untying knots. I was like 7 or 8 at the time?
Anyway the next year I got her back by putting warm yellow Kool-Aid in a bucket over her door (a very cartoon prank) and telling her it was pee, but like it was bright yellow and smelled like lemonade. My parents were mad that I basically hit my sister with a bucket and stained the carpet.
I missed the bottom and spent way too long in personal conflict.

You can tell it's fake because they cut the pizza into slices and didn't turn the top one upside down. The most basic experimentation would have immediately suggested these structural improvements.

My biggest problem is that if I order two personal pan pizzas and an order of boneless wings. They'll know what I'm doing.

But food folks might want to be fucked too.
haha it's just a joke bro! Why are you upset?

Clearly he's taking option B

She used to call her friends and remind them about the phone lines being cleaned.
Then she'd come up with an excuse to visit, just to laugh at all their phones being in plastic bags to prevent the dust from the line cleaning

That was a pretty good prank I think
This is so goofy and lame it almost becomes funny.

Thats the tale of my only time doing a fools.
It's completely harmless but none of it is ever legitimately funny or clever.
It's basically a perfect Irwin family joke. They're virtually incapable of sending out malicious vibes at all, and are all enormous animal dorks.
