Whats the best April fools you've done or heard about? (1 Viewer)

[hermie]

a good one i heard for if you have a camcorder and a few people over.video your bathroom/toilet beforehand and when you have people over and one of your mates goes to the jax (works particularly well with birds) stick on the video, and when she comes back, act like ye were all watching her on camera.


another i heard, not really april fools, a mate of mine was always leaving his keys in the door on his way out to college and one day when he forgot his keys, his housemates all trashed the gaff and hid a few valuables and acted like they were robbed saying "there was no forced entry someone must have left keys in the door". He flipped out with apologies, it was hilarious.

Clive used to go into his flatmates room at night and put a chair facing the bed. And in the morning, when the flatmate asked if he knew why the chair was there, Clive said he had been just watching him in his sleep.

They're married to each other now.

There used to be an electrician I used to work with, the other lads on the site used to love playing pretty elaborate tricks on him, which generally played on the fact that he was very superstitious and also was shit scard of electricity (not a good trait in a sparks, he would turn off a city block to change lightbulb).

He had a bell and a battery he used to use as a circuit tester. One day they rigged up bell for me and i was instructed to secretly follow him around for the dayrandomly ringing the bell as he checked different connection. the poor guy after about a hor o this I thought his brain was going to melt.

He was also a big believer in ghosts and stuff. The hotel very old nd he was always going onabout cold spots and such. There was on very long corridor with an attic trapdoor at each end. Late one evening we lay a black overcoat on a hanger at the far end of the corridor with a wire running up into the trapdoor, down the length of the attic to the second trapdoor at the near end.

He walks past I pull the string and he sees this ghostly willowy figure rise up from the ground and vanish into the celing.

It scared the living fuck out of the poor guy.

Not an April fools day but but a good one i pulled at Christmas.

It was a family dinner and my sister was there with her Hubby. My sister is cool but very very PC.

Any before hand I had got one of the crackers opened it - scanned the joke into photoshop and changed it to:

What do you call 100 Niggers in a field? The good ol' days

and also an anti-Irish joke. So I put it back to together and made sure she got it...Any way on reading the joke she freaked - she wanted to ring the cracker factory there and then (Xmas day and all)..

Anyway I kept up the charade for a few hours and then told her,,

[This only works if you live somewhere where you can get from the living room to a hiding place without going past the front door, as you'll see]

If you have a male flatmate, have friends over about 7.30, just watching the telly. Then have a girlfriend call over around 8 (best if she's not in on it). Tell him to answer the door and then turn down the sound, turn on the porno already placed in the DVD player, lash a few crinkled tissues around and all hide in the bedroom.
Cue unabashed entrance into living room with said girl friend.

It's pure comedy gold and worth the effort!

The Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter allows anyone to quickly and easily test the working condition of any wall socket. Simply insert the Vilcus into the socket in question... insert two fingers and the use becomes apparent instantly.

The Nintendo Wii has surely revolutionized gaming as we know it. Rabid fanboys everywhere are now flailing their arms in delight as they wield the Wiimote as a tennis racket, baseball bat or sword. Problem is the average gaming geek is just not up to the strenuous task of vigorous arm movement for longer than 10 minutes. This makes those extended play sessions a thing of the past... and who wants to beef up at the gym just to play video games on your couch? We sure don't.

i know it's not, but comedy gold timing.

I can't decide which is my favourite.

• Using an 'En-Chef-erizer' to translate every subscriber & supporter's posts to swedish chef / bork bork bok, after they (well, lots of them) had been plotting a super secret, subscibers-only gag..

Although that was really only to lull you into a false sense of security. The real fun was had by

• Posting a thread announcing that the reader ({username}), had been banned & including your email address for added authenticity
• Using the same technique to post a sticky on eirecore saying that it was being shut down from midnight tonight and that it was all YOUR FAULT (yeah you, {username})

I've never received so many panicked PMs before. Comedy gold.

i think you should do a thread with the best the PMs.

i had considered posting up a Suckers List, but most were just variations on "what the fuck?"
