Back in 2012, Cartoon Network brought back Toonami for a night on April Fools. That night, they showed all of the best classic anime shows they had back when I was younger (Gundam Wing, Dragon Ball Z, Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star, etc), each showing their best episode. It was an awesome nostalgia trip, but made me sad that it was just a one-off. However, they then eventually brought Toonami back full time.

LSU Sports.net had some pretty epid April Fools articles over the years. The one with the purple field turf was pretty awesome.

Always thought the Sports Illustrated article on Sidd Finch was pretty good back in the mid ‘80’s.

Worst: All the dumb bitches that drop the “I’m pregnant” posts on social media or to SOs/family.

Best: Pornhub had a great one in the past when you went to their website and it acted like it was sending a message out about your access (and claiming you were watching some crazy shite). I can only imagine the freak out.

The best I've heard was a fella named Porky Bickar in Sitka, Ak. He had a helicopter put a bunch of tires in the crater of a volcano and when the people woke up they thought it was erupting.

LINK

quote:

Residents of Sitka, Alaska were alarmed when the long-dormant volcano neighboring them, Mount Edgecumbe, suddenly began to belch out billows of black smoke. People spilled out of their homes onto the streets to gaze up at the volcano, terrified that it was active again and might soon erupt. Luckily it turned out that man, not nature, was responsible for the smoke. A local practical joker named Porky Bickar had flown hundreds of old tires into the volcano's crater and then lit them on fire, all in a (successful) attempt to fool the city dwellers into believing that the volcano was stirring to life. According to local legend, when Mount St. Helens erupted six years later, a Sitka resident wrote to Bickar to tell him, "This time you've gone too far!" Read the rest of the story below...


quote:


Although Porky had remembered to notify both the FAA and the Sitka Police (he was a member of the police commission), he somehow forgot to notify the Coast Guard. While Mt. Edgecumbe was busy spewing out its black smoke, the Coast Guard Commander called for a chopper to investigate and sent a whale boat over to check things out. The chopper pilot radioed back to the commander that all he saw was a bunch of smoldering tires and a big April Fool sign in the snow. This was after the commander had called the Admiral in Juneau about the apparent crisis.

Mount Edgecumbe viewed from Sitka's airport.



Jimmy Johnson, Vice President of Alaska Airlines, had also heard about Mt. Edgecumbe's activity, and called Sitka to instruct their departing plane to fly over the mountain to give all the passengers a bird’s eye view of it all. And, in the meantime, the Sitka radio station and police station phones were ringing off the hook.

There's no doubt he would have been arrested and fined. Times have really changed.

Many moons ago, I was dating this girl who had really long sexy hair. We had only been dating for a couple months when she makes an April Fools post on social media where it looks like she cut off all that hair into a tiny pixie bob. I didn't think she looked good at all with short hair and was asking her why she did it and never even told me she was thinking about it (dug a very big hole for myself). She reveals, of course, that she was just pranking me, but is super pissed about how I handled it. We didn't break up, but I was definitely in the dog house for a week.

Fast forward about 8 months, and she chopped it all off for real and was SHOCKED that I didn't like it, and tried to make me out to be an a-hole for not liking her short hair better than her long hair.

Many years ago,before he made it big, George Clooney moved in with actor and friend, Richard Kind. Kind had a cat.

Well, one day Clooney started secretly scooping all the cat turds out of the box and getting rid of them without Kind knowing. After about 3 day, Kind noted to Clooney, " I think my cat might be constipated. He hasn't pooped in 3 days." Clooney assured him the cat would be fine.

The next day Kind insisted they search the apartment to see if the cat was pooping someplace other than his litter box. Alas, they found no poop.

Another couple of days went by and Kind was further concerned, saying " I think I should take him to the vet. It's been almost a week and he has not gone in his box." Clooney again told Kind to give the cat one more day and see if nature would take its course. Kind agreed, but said if there was no poop in the box the following day - - - off to the vet they would go.

That night Clooney sneaked into the room where the cat box was located...lowered himself over the box....and took a huge dump in the cat box.

Needless to say....Kind freaked the hell out when he saw what "his cat" had done and how backed up he had been.

Most people should avoid April Fools jokes because 99% of them suck.

We had a friend in our group in college who liked to brag a little too much about all the girls he banged. He once bragged about a banging a girl we all knew the night before she was leaving to take a job out of state. One of our friends wrote it down and was planning a surprise for the guy.

That guy kind of forgot about it but we all started talking about it a few days before April 1st, and about 9-10 months after the girl had left.

We decided to do it as a April Fool's joke. One of our friends had access to a laser printer at work - at the time most people only had access to dot-matrix printers. In any event, we used the laser printer to make up legal letterhead for a out-of-state law firm (the state the girl had moved to). We then drafted a letter from a "fake" lawyer telling this guy that his client had gotten pregnant and had recently given birth to a baby girl and that our friend should get in touch with him (the lawyer) immediately to arrange for child support payments. We even dated it April 1.

The guy bought it hook, line, and sinker. He was literally crying wondering how was he going to tell his very Christian parents. We told him that he should call the attorney back. Had he, he would have realized that we put the number of a bowling alley on the letterhead and that it was all a joke. But, he was terrified and refused to call the number.

We told him the next day.
