What were the best April Fools pranks that you saw/pulled this year?


For those that I saw, the two big ones for me are the BBC's video on flying penguins and IGN's trailer for a Legend of Zelda movie.

The best one I pulled was probably my update for my fanfiction Final Challenge, featuring a catfight between Dawn, Latias, and an OC.


What were your favourite pranks this year?
 
I like You Tube's, it was pretty epic, lol.
Also, bulbagarden's was hilarious that one time they parodied Serebii.
 
If they do make a Legend of Zelda movie, it should definitely be based on the Ocarina of Time.

On topic: I didn't really prank anyone today, but my science teacher convinced most of us that the highest grade anyone got on the test (that we took the day before spring break) was a C+. Everyone was devastated.

What did YouTube do?
 
Basically everyone of their promoted videos linked to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" song. People were freaking out and confused, it is freaken' hilarious (still going on I think, if you go to their webpage and click on a link).
 
It's not going on anymore (although it is April 2nd here, but I'm not on YouTube Australia.) Although, now half of the promoted videos have something to do with 'B-boy' in the title, if that's anything.

Yesterday (being April 1 here) a bunch of guys from my grade showed up to school dressed as their physics teacher. It was awesome, sterotypical nerd ensemble: Checkered shirt, high socks, gold-rimmed glassed and a combover. It was great because this particular teacher has a Monday outfit, a Tuesday outfit, etc. and the guys copied him exactly.

Best prank ever.
 
I was particularly fond of Yahoo Japan being invaded by Space Invaders (including a playable form).

That was until I saw Assassin Gear Solid, an April Fools video featuring "Altair" from Assassin's Creed (note the quotation) featured in Metal Gear Solid 4's setting, posing as a new game announced by the producer of Assassin's Creed, Jade Raymond. At the end of video, "Altair" is revealed and Hideo Kojima appears asking if you liked it and the truth within MGS4 will be revealed in June. It was April Fools craziness that I look for in the day!
 
Update: My friend sent me the photo of them.

Lightning may have been refering to the "Major Bust" gag in the real world section.

That one was probably the lamest, along with GameFAQS.

..I think I liked Gamefreak's 'omg we're moving to the artic', but probably only because I could shout 'OMG GAEMFREEKS IS RUNNING OUT OF IDEAZ (and colors) THEY'RE MOVING TO THE ARCTIC THAT IS PROOF D8 at it. Oh, yeah, and Bulbapedia "deleting" the whole User namespace and watching everyone freak the hell out.

Other than that, I think this year's April Fools' kind of... sucked. Then again, I didn't see very much, but eh.

Oh god, that really freaked me out. I was all like, "WTF?!"


Yesterday, a bunch of girls told our homeroom teacher that he was their favorite teacher, and the they yelled, "April Fools!"


He was pissed and gave them all detentions.
 
mine was the mudkip avis at DA and the mods for a day at pokecommunity
