Top Ten Inappropriate April Fool’s Jokes
April first is a jackass’s delight. It’s the one day a year you can be the prick you are the other 364 and yet pass of your behaviour as acceptable by adding the tagline “April Fools!”. That being said you do have some leeway but there are limits to what you should and shouldn’t do. Here are ten jokes that may be pushing things a little too far (at least in the opinions of your friends).
10. Planting drugs on someone.
This is particularly uncool just before they go through airport security or cross international barriers. Body cavity searches are never funny to the recipient.
9. Ransoming their vehicle/pet/child.
Anything that can end in your own felony conviction or a bloody shootout is probably better left undone. Isn’t it?
8. Travelling back in time and killing their parents preventing them from ever existing.
Logistically, this is very difficult to pull off. It’s bad enough that this joke requires murder (see above), but by erasing your friend’s very existence you don’t get to see the look on their face when you pull it off.
7. Throwing acid in their face.
Oh sure, it could give you both a few chuckles once the initial shock wears off, but - acid is expensive!
6. Ruining their credit.
Lots of legwork involved in forgery, identity theft, etc. And for what? Once their credit is ruined, they can’t really lend you money or buy you things.
5. Burning down their house.
Even if they have good insurance, this is a bit much.
4. Travelling forward in time, finding out how and when they die, travelling back in time and telling them the exact details and then giving them the nickname “cyclops”.
If you don’t get this one, read up on your mythology. Learn something today.
3. Contacting several crime families and identifying your friend as a “snitch”.
Collecting the price on their head is also way offsides.
2. Entering them in Mortal Kombat.
If you’ve done your research, you know how many of the contestants are mystical and even not human. Putting your friend into this contest, even though it’s bound to be pretty funny, is just too much. Unless they have to fight Johnny Cage. Then they might win.
1. Complete reconstructive surgery while they are sleeping.
Even if they are really heavy sleepers you should maybe stick with putting their hand in some warm water or something. At most, maybe some botox or a nose job. Know your limits.
Very, very entertaining. I enjoyed it immensely. Some of the ones actually sounded good for enemies but the consequences if caught may be too extreme. Be good and take care.
