April Fools

[The3rdChildren]

So, spill. Unless they're super top secret. I had originally planned to do something at work, but I'm actually on holiday all this week and thus won't be there to act up. Anyone got anything cool planned?

We can also use this thread to record ways in which we were fooled or have fooled others in the past. GO. GO. I'm especially interested in what Revo-Europe has planned for the big day and since Jordan wouldn't tell me in advance I very much doubt anyone else will.


I will use this space to say I have never carried out a successful April Fool joke in my life, but am constantly fooled every day. Forumer Meik will often randomly tell me a celebrity has died and I'll buy it. The bastard -always- gets me with that.

[gmanprime]

Yeah, what i'm doing is swtching my mums regular crest tooth paste with colgate... what?

[Dieter]

I'm going to be at a LAN party on April Fool's Day, so I'm thinking of getting a police officers uniform or possibly a SWAT-like uniform and crashing into the LAN screaming everyone better turn over their HD's to the FCCU (Belgian RIAA sort of thing, dunno if you have it over there).

It'll go great with the paranoia that's overtaking the Belgian LANning community. Hell, you had to fight for the last KathoLAN tickets and now there are still 11 places free, three days from the LAN itself. Agreed, warez is and still is illegal, but everyone is so scared about losing their computers (even though they're innocent) that a lot of the fun turned into tension. It sucks. But I digress.

I don't have any jokes planned yet but when I was younger I once (with the help of my granny) poured tea into an empty wine bottle (the tea was red) and put it on the table for lunch. Everyone made a bit of a funny face.
Another time for breakfast I put milk into the coffee can and coffee into the milk can. My dad had some kellogs breakfast and was thinking he poured milk into his bowl but it was coffee - he looked pretty pissed off.

This year my family is a bit angry on our little neighbours because the always play football on the street and often hit our house, so I'm going to tell them that they damaged something and hopefully my family will rush out in fury :D

[Ashley]

I am working and have no plans whatsoever to do anything prankish.

[link64uk]

ive made chilli chocolates and will be takin them in to work and giving them out to people that deserve it *cue evil laughter*

[Fields]

I remember the C-E one from a few years back. 'GameCube +' would apparently be a 512bit console, would play all N64 and Dreamcast games, and would launch with 'The Legend of Zelda: Piano of Time'. There was a surprisingly high number of people on the forums who believed it...

[weeyellowbloke]

I faked my own death a few days ago, my funeral is on the 1st of April and I'm going to jump out and scare everyone.

If only I had the organisational skills to perform such a task.

[Lammie]

The only April Fools joke I have ever successfully pulled off is the totally unoriginal 'switch the sugar in the sugarbowl with salt'.

[Dan Dare]

I have something planned, but it is pretty secret. awesome


Few years back i sent my mate an email from 'yahoo lottery' saying he'd won £1,000 then rang saying I'd won £10 and that he should check to see how he did.

he bought it so bad. haaahahahahaha

[Monopolyman]

April Fools this year is on Saturday, therefore I will be asleep until afternoon, therefore I'll miss the pranks.

[Ramar]

Its my friends 18th birthday. We're going out, I'm now very paranoid that the time they tell me to meet them may be wrong. :-Z

Thats a pretty good one,but it has potential for going very wrong. very very very wrong.

[AshMat]

I need some inspirtation, the best i've done is whoopee cusion on the teacher's chair ¬_¬

[Hellfire]

Don't have any special plans, but I'll try to think of something. I'll keep you posted ;)

[CVD]

I've been saving up random train tickets every day for around a month, I've got nearly 50 of them. Late Friday night I plan on placing the tickets in random locations all around the house for a laugh.

I know, that's how creative I get.

[Atomic Boo]

CVD-haha, quality
i just tend to knock on a friends house, when they open the door pull a super soaker from behind my back and blast it on full charge. this only worked once in 4 times

[Dan Dare]

that's not fooling anyone though. that's more like being a bit of a nobber.

you gotta mess with their minds man! their minds!

[AshMat]

I remember reading some hilarious.. and just plain suiick ones on a site once.
Couple of my faves were:
Punch someone in the face and then yell "APRIL FOOLS" at them.
Spray paint April Fools all over the school

Sick ones were:
Go into your mom's room at ngiht and pretend to be your dad, then fuck her in the arse
Go into your parents' room in the morning and fuck your mum in the ass, then run like hell...

Then we remember we aren't under the age of 12. :indeed:

[Charlie]

I totally didn't laugh at that one..... :indeed:

[AshMat]

Hey, i'm 14, things like that amuse me. Unless someone actually did it, it's jsut the image i get in my head.

[Hellfire]

I'm going to pretend to you guys that I'm a Nintendo marketing guy that's here to see what people think. Ah!

[Mr_Odwin]

It is funny to think about having sex with your mum.

[AshMat]

[rokhed00]

Just bought a few tubes of superglue in readiness for saturday.
You can't beat superglue for a good prank.

When do jokes go too far?

yeah, a little bit much of the f-word in combination with your mum. but as a good old saying says (f*** it, repetition): wer lesen kann ist klar im vorteil. (the one who can read is clearly in advantage). (sorry for my bad english). because he found those on a website and everyone's going off-topic about that. including mods. (yeah, ban me now.)

back to topic:
i hate april fools jokes. some people in my ex-school carried a whole class outside (every desk including the teacher's). that was funny. yee.
i have an audition on that saturday (as a jurymember) and i think about telling them that they're hired. and later saying "april fool's" ^^ ah, no, i wont do that. it's too wicked/nasty/evil (choose the word you like best).:geek:

[Sarka]

Hmmmmm, I dunno what to do, I suck at April Fools. I may stalk someone from my class in town for a day... can't figure out how to make it into an April Fools joke... hrmmm.

[weeyellowbloke]

So what April Fools Jokes have you seen, done or had done on you?

Best one I've seen was in the Guardian, a story about Chris Martin writing a theme song for the Conservative Party election capaign. Written by one Olaf Priol (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,,1744447,00.html) :rolleyes:

Also woosel has pretty awesome front page currently.

[The3rdChildren]

Thanks for the mention, WeeYellowBloke. Both forumer Meik and myself put a lot of time into the Woosel gag this year.

Something Awful have something 24 related up at the moment, possibly April Fools-related, I dunno. It's still hilarious. GameFAQs also cracked me up, as did Mr. Odwin's brilliant song.

All in it's been a good April fools.

[AshMat]

Has anyone got the daily masil today? If yuou haven't, go get it and read on pge 3 about the barcoded apples, has to be an AF

[Tellyn]

Classic just now. Phonecall to my dad.

"Hello is this Charlie?"
"Yes..."
"Hi this is Chris Tarrant from Who Wants to be a Millionaire, good evening!"
"Oh!"
"Your mate Dave is here, he's stuck on a 32,000 pound question, can you help him out?"
"Go on"
"What day is it today? A. Xmas Day, B. Boxing Day, C. Groundhog Day, or D...."
"Oh no...."
"APRIL FOOL'S DAY!"

[AshMat]

I'll prank someone, record it and upload it.. give me a minute
EDIT: N.m, dunno if this phone records calls

[Blackfox]

I thought April Fool's was only until midday?

[Tellyn]

Yeah but if your parents are out, then how can you get them? Anyway, it does say DAY, hinting the whole 24hrs.

[AshMat]

Yeah, i think AF ending at 12.00 is stupid, otherwise it'dd be april fools.. half day..

[Blackfox]

That's the tradition though.. I didn't make up the name.

[|Laguna|]

Wow, the Woosel April Fool is awesomely funny and great.
Good job, best one I've seen this year.
