April Fool’s day is one of my favourite celebratory days of the year, because it’s quite different from the others. Instead of buying gifts for each other, or telling people we love them, we search the deepest depths of our bastard selves to try and come up with something cunning, yet believable, to trick people into believing it.
I can remember many of the April Fool’s jokes I’ve fallen to across the years, and the hundreds that I have sat back and enjoyed. Perhaps if my Mum feels like typing, she can explain about the time she convinced me there was a big whole infront of the door to our flat; I don’t much feel like typing it all.
However, if you missed any of the funnies, here’s a bit of a round-up for you.
- All of the featured videos on YouTube were linked to Rick Roll
- Google implemented a custom e-mail time
- Google invite you to join a Mars colony
- BBC made some fantastic footage of flying penguins
There were plenty of World of Warcraft and other such game-related pranks, but you can find those yourself. In honesty, it wasn’t a particularly eventful April Fool’s.
If you were being stubborn and refusing to believe anything you heard, BBC have rounded up 10 stores that could be April Fools, but aren’t.
I’m definitely going to be typing up the hole in the floor story. It’s funny, because I’d decided that about 5 minutes before I read this post!
What a great day this was… I remember lots of pranks I’ve pulled on friends and viceversa so I truly regret not having done anything this year… it sucks. Read the “hole in front of the door” joke though Dan, pretty funny man! :P I’m glad you thought it was true so I would have something to laugh about a whole bunch of years later!
On our Honeymoon (mini), we got done by the Bulgarian chef, he came out as we were eating breakfast in the castle and told us honestly “Is that your Golf?”, “It has Flat Tyre…” (looking confused as if he didn’t quite know if his English was correct), Flyingpops exploded – “YOU ARE JOKING!!?” and he practically fell on the floor laughing…BITCH!! ;)
Seb: How dare you laugh at my young stupidity!
Fink: Haha, that’s fantastic. I bet neither of you were expecting something like that. I hope you had a fantastic time anyway.
