April Fools Day is boring!

Posted 04-01-2012 at 05:16 AM by AlexFili
Is it just me or does nobody bother with anything anymore? Even GameSpot haven't seem to bother doing anything at all this year.

Maybe I'm just completely oblivious to some amazing websites with some funny April Fools Jokes. Anyone have some amusing links?

That cat guy did something in Oddworld Discussion, if that counts.

Well it's after noon, so you should be worrying about it any more.

I think that the trick this year was that there wasn't one. You were subtly fooled.

It's my Dad's birthday today so we completly forgot about April Fools. However I did see this link to Valve's 'New' game

Obviously a joke

Oh, that was an April Fool's? I just thought it was a fun thing. Maybe if seen it on April Fool's Day, and not 24 hours beforehand.

Maybe it's been relatively slow because it's a Sunday.

Rage comics were never funny.

To each their own. Most of them suck, but some still are funny. Depends what mood I'm in and who made them - Although I suppose you have to be an idiot to find them funny in the first place. But still, being easily amused has its advantages.

Here's a list of tech-based April Fools. My favourite is the Ikea product recall.

STA Travel had one in which they promoted a new Cargo Class; cheap tickets on cargo planes sitting next to couriers.

In my mind, the best April Fools gags are the ones where you actually wonder for a few minutes whether they could possibly be true. By that metric, STA's one was excellent and Google failed over and over again, as they have done for the last few years.
