Reddit Users Share April Fool’s Pranks That Went All Kinds Of Wrong

No one has harmed April Fool’s Day more than unfunny people.

Look, I’m no snob. I love myself a good prank. Like many of us, I’ve wasted too many hours watching Eric Andre clips on social media. However, we can’t deny that countless people think of themselves as Jim from The Office, when they’re really just meanspirited bullies.

A good prank is like a pack of Hard Rated 6%; it’s something to be shared with mates who are open to participating.

That’s why I scoured countless Reddit threads to find the craziest April Fool’s pranks people had inflicted on each other. And boy, oh boy, are some people just so creative.

First, one user shared about a time they decided to prank their entire workplace by lying about a toilet being out of order.

I hate that I know this would work on me. I’d also probably quietly suffer through the whole day instead of mentioning something.

I’m sure most people have probably heard of the classic “I’m pregnant” April Fool’s joke. It nearly never goes well, and it’s the one prank I’ll never understand. As u/cbrworm explained:

Another user wrote that if you’re going to set up a prank, make it so you don’t accidentally become its victim.

Another user proved that sometimes, the best April Fool’s pranks are the ones people don’t expect. And what could be more unexpected than nothing at all?

Lastly, if you ever plan to prank a co-worker, try choosing something that won’t be a hazard, as one user learned:

Well, there you have it. I can’t endorse replicating any of these this April Fools; hopefully, you can learn from their mistakes.

But if you plan on having a few gaffs and goofs this April Fool’s, make sure it isn’t too chaotic, yeah? Oh, and remember to say “April Fool’s” right after. As we all know, explaining that “it’s just a prank” will surely de-escalate the situation. Or if you wanna have a laugh, not at someone’s expense, why not catch a gig at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival instead?

Find yourself a good show, grab yourself a nice drink (like a Hard Rated 6%) and settle in for the night. Just be sure to check the seat for a whoopie cushion.

18+ only, drink responsibly.
