Best 4/1 pranks you saw

I saw two good April Fools pranks, both on Facebook.


The admin for the Mid Century Modern Virginia Facebook group announced a name change to Live-Laugh-Love Virginia, with accompanying photos of appropriate wall decor.


And someone in a plant exchange group was asking for:

purple dead nettle,

wild violet,

american field pansy,

plantain, and

Speedwell

At least I think that was a joke. No one else has posted a laugh emoji response.

    One of the youtube people that I subscribe to tricked us today! He had this video of how sad he was to tell us that he's sold out his youtube channel and will no longer be making youtube videos. He claimed to have been offered something he couldn't turn down for his channel blah blah blah. Then at the end he held up a piece of paper that said "APRIL FOOLS!!!" HAHA! It didn't even register that it was a joke until the end! A real stinker that guy is! HA! His channel is: OLD SCHOOL SOUL FOOD He makes some really yummy soul food kind of recipes.

    I had one go over well @ work today. I DIYed one of these with a plastic cup and some acrylic paint and discreetly left it on top of some important papers in the front office, and I wrote 'April Fools' on the underside so they'd see that when they picked it up. 😁



    The person who found it liked it so much she put it on somebody else's desk.

    Jared Leto on Wheel of Fortune. I couldn’t figure out what was going on.

    Mothstories on Insta had a great one today - not necessarily 4/1 but a terrific prank.

    I attempted an April Fools joke today - at the Treasurer's office where I went to pay the second half of my real estate taxes which really isn't due until July but I have the money now. Anyway, after the lady finished all the paper work and took my check, I said, "April Fools!".


    She asked, "What?" I repeated it, but then told her "Well I guess it isn't really very funny". But she seemed to suddenly "get it" and started to laugh and commented " the joke's on you if you drove all the way here for nothing". I guess you had to be there. ; )

    I had an email from a company promoting their "gluten-free, keto friendly" stickers and another with a totally false political claim (trying way too hard and wasn't even beginning to be funny), but the best one was one my son shared with me -- TCU changing its mascot and no longer being the horned frogs.

    @lascatx, thanks for the TCU link. Both my brother and I are alums, so I shared it with him to make his April 1 complete.

    It's 3am and I am waking up DH and dogs from laughing so hard!

    If only The University of OK did the same video changing our two mascot's names, Boomer & Sooner" to something lame like The Squirrels we'd be on the national news. lol

    Never heard of The Real Slim Sherri & this is the first one that popped up. I'm sending it to DH because he says the same thing all the time at the end of the video, he'll relate. New fan here.

    It's age restricted and can only be watched on this YT link. What you like less and less as you get older

    The Soprano's theme song for school is hilarious. It led to my favorite scene and song on The Sopranos.

    It's also age restricted! Link to YT video

    My friend and I were totally annoyed with Connections yesterday, got through it though. Much later we were reminded what day it was. Got me.

    Bunny, I kept searching for a way to change the settings. Until I figured out what day it was.

    I saw on FB that Taylor Swift was going to do a cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Workingman’s Dead”…I actually got a little enthusiastic for a moment, until I remembered what day it was.

    I was at work and thought about faking an app that could identify flowers by fragrance i would call it the” Bouquet’s Bouquet.” But then I realized guests might not see the humor
