Get Someone With These Genius April Fools’ Day Pranks
April Fools’ Day is a stupid holiday. Let’s be honest. Most jokes are pretty corny and everyone sees them coming. Fake pregnancy announcements on Facebook. A long story setup with a misdirection at the end of a post. Really, most pranks have become lazy and just involve announcing fake news on social media. But there is still that small pocket of pioneers who come up with creative, original pranks. Or at least take the time to make something that is going to wonderfully ruin someone’s day for a little while. All these ideas can easily be done by you. Yes, you! Get out there and make me proud!
I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.

Hours and hours of endless fun.

Caramelize some onions. Pretend they are apples. Watch the vomiting!

Hide fake snakes in your grocery store’s produce department.

Put down some fake glass and some strategically placed “fallen items” to make your dad’s face turn red.

Any parent willing to do this to their kid is a hero.

Wait until there is a double-digit line for the restroom before you tell everyone it’s fake.

Fake bugs will never go out of style.

Replace the jelly in jelly donuts with ketchup if you’re a real monster.

Mix a bowl of M&M’s and Skittles.

Just bring an empty box to work.

Switch the sugar for salt.

Switch the orange juice with mac and cheese mix.

Knit someone’s sox closed.

This is less a prank and more assault. But still fun!

You get the idea here.

Fake tickets are easy to get online.

This is above and beyond.

Hide an airhorn somewhere that will get pressed unexpectedly.


You have to be slick to pull this off.

Cover someone’s bar of soap with nail polish and they’ll never get clean.

You may have to fight off the cart collector employees to pull this off.

If you do this to a coworker, please record and time lapse the video of them cleaning it up.

You may need to be a plumber to pull this off.

Hide dry pasta under a chair. When they sit, the crunch noise sounds like they broke it.

They may actually like this if they are a Star Wars fan.

Don’t expect quick forgiveness if you include their wallet or Playstation controller.

They will spend so long trying to figure out why nothing is coming out of the bottle.

This is my favorite.

People feel guilty eating things with a face on it.

Serve them this nice meal! (It’s yogurt, a canned peach, and apple slices.)

Probably don’t do this to a roommate since it’s also your carpet.

Tape a piece of paper on the roller part of the mouse.

This will scare the shit out of anyone.
