April Fool's jokes you wish were true/permanent?

I’d just like the Internet to finally realize that when every single site attempts an April Fools’ “prank” no one is fooled and it isn’t really all that funny. When it wasn’t mandatory every year there were a few good ones, but now it’s just boring. Consider this year’s Slashdot nonsense as a good example.

Or maybe I just hate fun. Mandatory fun.

Crusader Kings Z sounds pretty cool, actually.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1988.

I would’ve bought the hell out of that book.

That’d be cool!

The one I saw said that Matt Smith would be replaced with Maggie Smith. Y’know, if there has to be a woman Doctor I’d totally watch her.

Considering the positive press and love that this one got, I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see him show up in a cameo in the next Star Wars movie.

Oh man, no psycho dad?

I remember someone doing a fake trailer for a Zelda movie that looked like it would be pretty cool.

A couple years ago, Johns Hopkins said they were taking off the “s” from “Johns”. Even had a bunch of photoshopped pictures of them removing it from signs and stuff. I know that was the guy’s real name…but “Johns” always bothered me. I wish that was real

Or Bitch Hunter?

A few months ago I stumbled upon that and posted a thread here wishing it were real. Would have been awesome!

As soon as I saw that, I went and googled for a fanfic. Surely one exists, I thought. But I didn’t see it.

Crossover fics are all the rage. Someone needs to do this!

I was a bit disappointed when I realized that Google’s matchmaking site was just an April Fool’s gag. Because really, they were right: Dating is a search problem.

A few years back, I remember reading that some people video taped a Powerball drawing. Then bought those same numbers for their friend. They invited him over and they played the video tape of the drawing of the previous night as if it was live. Their friend was a millionaire! For a short time. When he was interviewed later, he said “it wasn’t funny at the time”. Can you imagine that? One moment you are a millionaire, and the next moment…nada.

A Zelda movie would be a good thing :slight_smile:
Legend of Zelda

The Final Battle

Pranksters murdered by the butt of their joke. Film at eleven.
