Tomorrow is April Fool’s Day, so prepare for a barrage of stupid social media updates and cheesy corporate attempts at humor. We’ve previously recommended 25 pranks which weren’t completely terrible things done by awful human beings. Here are the 20 best April Fool’s Day pranks for this year, and the same ground rules apply:
We’re leaving out pranks that make people genuinely fear for their safety. We’re also avoiding pranks that could easily lead to an injury. No pranks that could do expensive damage to other people’s property. No pranks that cost people jobs or get people sued. No pranks that would take an unreasonable amount of time for someone to clean up. In other words, no sociopathic stuff. Just silliness. Because it’s April Fools’ Day, not “Prove You’re A Solipsist Dick” Day.
We’re not sure when April Fools’ Day turned into The Purge, but it’s time to nip that sh*t in the bud. With pepper spray, if necessary.
