Interested in hearing the "best" you've heard/seen/done.
Only decent one I've see so far I'd Redbox announced they are starting Petbox. Videos and games for animals.
Also, I have a 4.5 year old son. Really want to get him this evening. He loves jokes and such. Any ideas?

Just search for April Fools jokes HERE. Lots of good ones out there. Google always has a couple.

ME!
You're a joke all year 'round. Especially in the fall.
YOU!

The class ahead of me in high school for senior prank/April fools had a petting zoo set up inside the school. The headmasters office was the chicken coop. On graduation night all the seniors would throw down a rubber chicken before walking up to get their diploma.
5ish years ago, a buddy of mine printed out 'Wanted' posters for one of his friends, and distributed them all over campus.
Also, there's this gem.
The funniest part is the kid can't his hands off his junk...and he's making the video!!!
That's how the mom should get him back...put vaporub on his hands while he's asleep.
This may be one of the first times I've ever enjoyed youtube comments.
How funny would it have been if she turned it around on him and didn't care about the letter but kept asking him if he had crabs or herpes?
She should have known it was a prank. Who would turn down the chance to go to Virginia Tech?
So i know him, he worked with me in the VT Athletic Video Department for a number of years before I graduated and I believe he is wrapping up his time at VT this May. He was actually also on Tosh.O for a web redemption a few years ago because of this.
Did his constant crotch scratching affect the video quality?
Hahaha it was a bit "shaky" at times. He had trouble keeping both hands on the camera.
tagging this for later
Pretty silly one, but ended up with a great result:
Let year my coworker and I took the N and M keys off my boss' keyboard and swapped em.
He got into the office and his work password must have had one of those letters. After about 15 minutes of him yelling at his computer, we heard him call our tech support desk and go into how he was locked out.
Her and I were cracking up and finally had to go in and tell him.
And you didn't get c-kballed!? Wow, that's some boss.
Fortunately we are a small office of financial consultants that are all pretty good friends, so he had a good laugh.
The sad part is I would probably never notice that prank. I touch type and my keyboard is old enough that at least half of the letters have worn off.
Kyle Chung had a good one on his Twitter account:

Bruce Irvin had a really good one because DRUNK DRIVING JOKES ARE HILARIOUS!!! /s
Yeah thats...uhhhh...not good.
He went to WVU, he clearly has issues making good decisions.
April Fools Day 2008:
My roommate left his laptop running/unlocked and went to dinner. I took screenshot of his desktop and made that the desktop background. Then I hid all of his desktop icons and the taskbar, so it looked like his regular desktop but when he clicked on things, nothing would happen.
We finally told him what we did the next day, right before he went to take his computer to the repair shop. He was really pleased with us.
That's probably my favorite prank to pull on people who continuously don't lock their computers. At least until I did it to the wrong person who whined about it and I had to sit through a "class" on proper workplace behavior.
I remember my years in West AJ, whenever someone would go to class and leave their computer unlocked we would load up mulletsgalore.com and find the best picture we could to be their new background.
These days, yes, we would probably have to attend a class over that.
I have done this to someone at work before. Not for April Fools Day though just cuz im a dick
We used to send letters of resignation for employee's that left for lunch and didn't lock up their computers.
Done that.
Also written some scripts to freak people out as well.
It's very easy to print onto a command window things like "Deleting file: ****" and have **** be all the files in a given directory.
So basically you click this program and it just cycles through all the filenames on your computer and says "Deleting" and just wait until they come back to their computer.
Also it's fun to just plug in a wireless mouse (if you sit near them) into a rear USB port on a desktop and give the mouse a little jiggle every once in a while to drive them nuts.
"April fools!! I made that up. You trusted me and I betrayed that trust!!"
That being said, I do love me a good prank.
That's just stupid. He's an idiot.
Heh, yeah. The John Oliver quote, "I made that up. You trusted me and I betrayed that trust!!" made me think of this video.
Holy hell...talk about a roller coaster ride...
Yeah, ever since that NCAA March Madness thread on here, I've been watching his videos like crazy. This one has nothing to do with April Fool's Day, but still a great watch
I proposed to my wife on April Fool's Day. That wasn't the prank but listening to her telling her family and friends that day was the best!
But now you've got a great out...in twenty years you can say..."April Fools! Can't believe you feel for that!"
We saw Dumb & Dumber 2 and at the end she told me if I'm pulling a long con she'd kill me.
The best was she didn't realize it was April Fool's Day. She called her father who was driving home from work and he told her he call her back after he pulled off the highway so they could talk. When he called back he warned her that this better not be a prank. She glared at me and told me she hated me. So romantic! I couldn't stop laughing.
My husband was born a month early on March 30. His dad was out to sea, so his XO told him on April 1 when they found out. His dad thought it was an April Fools joke.
The best pranks are the simplest. My favorite is a small piece of scotch tape over the mic of the office phone handset or swapping a few keys on the keyboard for hunt-and-peck typists.
Mayo in cream filed donuts is a good one.
I just vommitted into my mouth a little
Yeah that's the typical reaction.
Okay story time since you also like to do donut-themed pranks.
One of my roommates junior year (lets call him Lex) liked to pull pranks. Some were very creative and others were simple and thoughtless, but successful. He would set booby traps, turn the hot water off if we were in the shower, hide our things, steal doors etc. One prank involved filling a trashcan with water and leaning it against the door while I was slightly over served. He especially loved to mess with us after we drank too much.
Anyways, he and another friend decided one day to be nice and bought all the roommates donuts. Raspberry jelly donuts from Krispie Kreme. He kept asking us how they were, super suspicious behavior, but he ate some as well so we didn't think anything of it. I told him they tasted a little odd but still pretty good and proceed to thank him. This is when he starts busting up laughing and tells us it was all a trap. Somehow he siphoned out the jelly and replaced it all with ketchup. It must have taken him hours to get them just right and we were pissed.
Me and another roommate decided we had gone through enough of his pranking shit, so we started to scheme. The thing about Lex is, he's a very clean and meticulous person. He would know if a pencil had been moved from his desk and would bitch if we didn't take out our laundry within minutes of it finishing.
We had to do something big, he had pranked us too many times. We wanted it to happen right in front of him and make it so he would be helpless as our plan unfolded. Fortunately our apartments came with ceiling fixtures in every room so we decided to "antique" him as our payback.
Antiquing involves little effort but can cause a huge mess. Just pour some baking flour on each fan blade (we used an entire 2lb bag) and set the fan speed on high while leaving the switch and light set to off. Then its a simple waiting game.
When Lex came home that night from class, we were waiting in the living room drinking our way-too-early victory beers. Lex went into his room and flipped the switch causing flour to fly everywhere. It covered his bed, all of his clothes in the closet, even getting a good amount to cover him. It was absolutely beautiful. It looked like a combo of new fallen snow and a room that hadn't been entered for years (thus the name antiquing). Flour would fall down with each step and created a cloud around him just like Pigpen from Charlie Brown.
Needless to say he wasn't happy with the whole ordeal but that was the happiest I have ever been vacuuming for hours and hours. He stopped pranking us after that
tl;dr dont prank someone and then get pissed when they prank you back
Mayo is nasty with anything that is just the waste of a perfectly good donut.
No argument. But April fool's day isn't really about efficient use of resources.
Years ago there was a Miley Cyrus concert coming up, I put an ad on Craigslist saying my kids were being brats and I was giving their tickets away to the first person to come get them and put my boss' cell number on it. 500 missed calls by the end of lunch.
three years ago, me and two buddies at the office hosted a cake and ice cream social for our office building. Our office is obsessed with food, its a rare day that at least one dept doesn't bring in bagels or donuts. Of course me and these two guys are notorious for sniffing out the free food.
So as a way of "giving back", we bought a cheap cake and tub of Neapolitan ice cream and then proceeded to cut the cake into like 1/2 inch squares , just enough to stick a toothpick in, and put about a dime size dollop of each flavor of ice cream on the plates. Each plate looked like something for a lil kids imaginary tea party.
Some folks got it and laughed, some were annoyed cause it was just about enough to make you actually crave some cake and ice cream. However, the epic win was the one manager who could not grasp that it was a joke and kept telling us how this was really neat and they were impressed that the IT dept would do something like this for the building. It was like they had no concept that it was April 1st, and of course my buddy just stood there straight faced talking it up, you would have thought we had just given away the cure for crabs or something.
It was probably something you had to be there for, but it was great.

Thanks, I honestly didn't think it would work as well as it did. I was really just looking for something to do since I was bored out of my mind in a policy class and noticed that no one had done anything on TKP yet.
Some asshat posted a fake story on a paranoid fan page about their coach leaving and created a fake link to ESPN that went to picture of that coach with an "April Fool's" conversation bubble coming out of his mouth. It was lowdown and dirty and nobody fell for it, for realz.
MAN! I would hate to be a part of that online community....talk about a bunch of losers!!
But, that's my favorite hat.
Edit: Also I like the song Lowdown by Boz Scaggs
I always forget it's you! Nice tie
Thanks, although it does bug me that it's off center in this picture.
Here are some from around college sports:
This one actually seems legit
Florida HC and President switch positions
Paul Johnson to introduce Bear Wrestling
I'm not sure how effective diving at a bear's legs would be...
Bet it would piss off the bear.
About 15 years ago, when the internet and email was still kind of new, I typed up an imaginary email message proclaiming that I was an assistant to the royal family of some African country, and that I needed help moving large sums of money into the states. All I needed was the unsuspecting recipient's help in transferring the money, and I would reward them handsomely. I must have sent out millions of these things.
That's really really Leonard.
All Leonard All Day.
