The first of April is approaching - the traditional day of laughter, jokes and practical jokes. On this day, everyone is played: parents - children, and children - moms and dads, subordinates are allowed to play a trick on the boss, schoolchildren and students - on teachers. It is not customary to take offense at even the most vicious and sharp jokes, you just have to laugh with everyone!
We already seem to know all the jokes, but we still want to present some special one to our friend, colleague, household members, classmates.
The approach of the holiday, symbolizing fun and a smile, gives us positive emotions in the form of laughter, humor, positive.
Laughter prolongs life
In this article, we tried to collect all the old and new, familiar and unknown jokes. Have you already heard about something, someone was played in the same way last year, or maybe there is something new here, just for you? With our jokes and pranks, you can please relatives, friends or employees at work and give them and yourself vivid impressions, positive emotions.
It turns out that there is even a special list of world-famous April Fool's Day Hoaxes of All Time - "The Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes of All Time", used by pranksters of all peoples and generations. It included a message about the fall of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the announcement of the landing of an unidentified flying object in London, the appearance of flying penguins, the use of the decimal system for measuring time, the new value of pi - 3.0, and much more.
The main rule on this day is not to forget that all jokes must match the sense of humor of the person you are going to laugh at. Do not forget about the sense of proportion! Do not overdo it in your zeal, because in theory not only you should laugh, but also your victim.
Playing colleagues
A little positivity and fun in the office never hurts!
It is especially pleasant to prank a colleague precisely because this person is close to you, you spend a huge amount of time with him every day, and for sure he has already prepared some special joke for you. But being first is always better!
"Box (box, package, container) without a bottom"
"What's inside?!"
This April Fool's prank is suitable for those who always need to look into all corners and need to know about everything. In place, for example, on a cabinet (on a rack or open mezzanines), placed above a person’s height, a small box is placed (or what you have prepared), but without a bottom. This item should have a bright sticker visible to everyone that arouses curiosity - for example: FOR SEX, PERSONAL ITEMS OF THE HEAD, DO NOT TOUCH WITH HANDS, OPEN APRIL 2 or similar, but relevant in your team. The box is filled with small, lightweight items: confetti, feathers, foil glitter, etc. As soon as the subject of the prank enters the room, everyone needs to leave so as not to interfere with his curiosity about the contents of the mysterious box. When removing an object from a height, he will not suspect that there is no bottom in it, and will be showered with its contents from head to toe. You can come in and give him a broom and a scoop prepared by you for the inquisitive.
Playing the gullible secretary
Playing a prank on the boss's secretary is a sweet thing!
If the secretary girl in your office is a naive and gullible person, call her from the phone in the next office and report with all seriousness and rigor that the employees of the telephone exchange are cleaning the telephone cable. To do this, supposedly hot steam will be run through the wires and it is immediately necessary to pack all the phones in polyethylene or cloth, in extreme cases, put all the tubes on the floor. Once you've convinced the victim what's going on, don't stop them from putting all their office handsets into "safe mode".
Prank for those who do not understand anything about computers (only for those who are friends with a sense of humor)
“Something doesn’t work!”
1. Take a seat at the computer of a colleague in his absence.
2. Press "PrintSrceen" or "prt sc" for short, that is, take a photo of the screen.
3. Open: Start > Accessories > Graphic editor Paint.
4. Insert the photo you have taken or use the Shift+Insert keys to insert it by itself.
5. Save joke.bmp at c:windows and close the editor.
6. Find "Display Properties" and make "joke.bmp" the background image on your desktop.
7. Remove all icons from the desktop outside the screen. You can also send the "Taskbar" there.
After returning, your unfortunate colleague will not be able to click on the icons or open folders. Restarting the computer will not help either. Only you will know to open Arrange icons by.. and restore the main background. If you don’t want to get a scolding from your superiors after a complaint from an unlucky colleague and a call from the IT service, the main thing is to confess in time.
Playing Friends
What could be nicer than a friendly joke?
The old proven "Hot Water" prank
We call a friend or girlfriend, better later, and ask: “Does hot water flow? - Yes! “My legs and go to bed!”
For the faint-hearted friend
While drinking coffee together and having a calm conversation, make an extremely frightened expression on your face and, pointing to your hair, shout: “Cockroach (spider, caterpillar, bee)!” The success of the joke will depend on your acting skills and the surprise of the moment.
Do not overdo it so that your friend does not recoup you later!
For friend
Take a friend to a gas station and while refueling his car or after, ask: “Do you, of course, pour winter diesel fuel?”. Before he realizes that this is a prank on the first of April, he is at least a little, but scared. If you ask this question to a girl - hit one hundred percent. In this way, by the way, you can get acquainted with the young lady you like.
"Smoky"
Although this joke is very old, it has a striking effect. The main condition is that the person being played must smoke. Invite him to try a new brand of cigarettes allegedly brought by relatives from abroad. Under an agreement with friends, a short time after a friend lit a cigarette, you do all sorts of special effects - turn on quiet music, release cockroaches from a box, open a can of paint so that the smell fills the rooms, anything. All those present must keep a calm look, not showing that something is happening, "not seeing or hearing" what the smoking comrade is talking about. The facial expression of your played, we assure you, you will remember for a long time!
"Reliable comrades"
In the early morning, call your close friends and, with an alarm in your voice, ask them to immediately bring you a ten-liter bucket (with water or empty - it doesn’t matter).
The draw will be revealed only upon arrival at your yard of a dozen cars and people with buckets and anxious faces. Surprising, believe me, and the reaction of the neighbors to this spectacle, some also jump out into the street with buckets.
Relatives prank
The family is not without ... fun!
"Who will milk the goat?"
If you have children of primary school age and live in a city apartment, this joke can be remembered for a long time. Having breakfast with the whole family, make a serious expression on your face and address one child in a strict tone, saying that you have decided to get a goat. Describe all the benefits that you will receive from its content, and responsibly instruct your son (or daughter) to milk the animal. Cleaning and feeding, by the way, is also part of her or his duties. Despite the reaction of the child, try not to admit to the draw, hold out as long as possible. If the child has any doubts about the veracity of what you say, pretend that you agree on the phone about how the goat can be delivered home.
Husband's Prank: "Woman Driving"
“Honey, I have a little problem…”
Go shopping in your husband's or boyfriend's car. Arrange with his friends, let one of them contact her husband in half an hour by phone with an unfamiliar number and report with a Caucasian accent that you have broken a very expensive car for him (the more expensive the better). Everything is supposedly in order with your health, but he takes you hostage and demands money for damages. The more unrealistic the amount, the better. The rest of the husband's friends, who should also be aware of what is happening, can control the husband's condition, helping him get out of the situation.
"Congratulations, you're a bum!"
This prank is suitable if you are going to change the locks on the front doors. Change - and at the same time play your soul mate. Before your wife is due to arrive, make arrangements with a stranger who will open the door after your wife's unsuccessful attempts to do so with her keys. Someone else's half-dressed man at the entrance to his own apartment, of course, at first will puzzle your wife. And his question: “What did you want?” generally put her in a dead end. The “new owner” must answer all questions that he bought the apartment today and can show the documents. How long to play on your nerves, you will determine by the state of your beloved, it is better, of course, not to wait for her to call the police or fall unconscious at the door. Everyone will have fun later, when the intensity of passions passes and everyone calms down.
The prank of a jealous but quick-witted husband
Serious passions can flare up from your joke!
Unbeknownst to your husband or boyfriend, sign your phone number in his contacts with a different name, it can be a neighbor, work colleague, acquaintance. Before your husband leaves the house, give him the opportunity to suspect that you are preening. After a while, call and inform in a changed voice that a handsome man is visiting his wife, and you saw how he gave her flowers and champagne. You can quickly set the table with your beloved's favorite delicacies, for he will fly faster than the wind. Brace yourself: you started this joke, you are responsible for it. If your husband is the second Othello, we don’t recommend joking like that, try something easier.
Children's pranks
The laughter of a child is the most valuable gift!
"Talking Horse"
Call the kids and quickly say, “Hello, is this a circus? Do you need a horse that can talk? Don't hang up, dialing with a hoof is very difficult!"
"Wet Holiday"
You collect water in a plastic bowl, use a ladder or a stool to rise to the ceiling, and lean the bowl against it. Shout: "Flood!" Call the one you planned to play. Ask the visitor to hold the bowl for a while with a mop (which you previously placed nearby). You leave the room, leaving the unfortunate man with a mop in his hand and a bowl under the ceiling. What happened next can be captured on camera. So that you don’t get beaten up after that, prepare a gift for the already wet “helper”.
"Things on a Thread"
This joke will work if the door to your brother's or sister's room opens outwards. Connect more objects in the room with a thread. They should not be heavy, for example, a pen, a book, a toy, a vase and whatever else they have in their room is suitable. Go out and attach the end of the thread to the ajar door. You close it. The one who opens the door will cause the items in it to teleport. It’s better to immediately take your mother as an accomplice so that it doesn’t fly from her after.
Newspaper joke
If you share a bedroom with a sister or brother, place a sheet of newspaper under their sheet. Lying on the bed, the "victim" will hear a slight rustling and her reaction will be very funny.
Joke "Good morning!"
Now your brother or sister will have an hour to spare to come up with a counter joke for you!
In the evening, when the person being played falls asleep, rearrange all the clocks an hour earlier. In the morning, perhaps, nothing will be found, but near a closed school or institute, your brother or sister will be in for a surprise. By the way, you will also have an hour to spare, it is quite possible to follow him and enjoy the success.
"Pot of water"
Water is poured into the pan, covered with a paper sheet, the pan is turned upside down and placed on the table. The paper is pulled out, while the water should not run out. The “victim” of the prank will be the one who decides that the pan is not where it needs to be and not in the right way. The same trick can be done with a three-liter jar, leaving the family member being played with thoughts about how to clean it all up.
"April Fools"
The cracker is tied to the railing of the stairs, and the rope from it is tied to the door of the neighbors. Ring the doorbell and hide in the apartment. Further observation can be made through the peephole in the door. We do not recommend laughing out loud - you will get caught. The usual reaction of the neighbors after that is to check the entrance every three to five minutes with an ardent desire to catch the prankster "at the crime scene."
"Magic Disk Drive"
Tell a person who has little understanding of what a computer is, that there is an e-mail and that a money transfer should come to you soon. Then you can solemnly get the money hidden in advance in the drive.
Pranks of classmates and classmates
Student jokes are always remembered for a long time
"Mop on the ceiling"
A note that reads: “There is a mop on the ceiling” is passed around the class during the lesson. But in the same place it is attributed: "Pass on!". Everyone who receives a note will automatically look at the ceiling. When there is a chain reaction of those who look up, the teacher will also look there with them.
"I'm skiing"
"Skier"
Tell a classmate that you will show a trick and ask him to stand exactly in the middle of the class with his arms extended forward. Insert a match on both hands between your thumb and forefinger (sulfuric head down). You slip the same matches under his toes. Ask loudly: “What month is it now?”. Naturally, he will say: "April." Your line: “Why are you skiing?” Here's to all the fun!
"Fresh"
Your joke may not be to everyone's taste.
This is an amateur hoax, as they say. It is better not to test people with a weak stomach. It will turn out only if you are relaxing in nature that day.
Unnoticed, not far from your friends, you make a bunch of squash caviar on the ground, arrange it with a piece of toilet paper and scream: “Fresh!” - start eating caviar with a spoon pulled out of your pocket. We warn you, many of your joke can be across the throat in the literal sense.
"Impossible is possible"
Announce to the "victim" in the presence of the audience that you have psychic abilities and can make the "victim" climb the wall. Convince him of this by any means and words, using all sorts of "scientific" terms: aura, chakra, subconscious, etc. After your unfortunate friend agrees to participate in this experience, put him against the wall, offer to concentrate and try the power of contact of parts bodies with a wall - sliding movements with arms, legs, elbows. At the same time, he must repeat the text after you (it’s like a “mantra that overcomes gravity”), without stopping movements. Approximate content of the text: “I have strength! I have skill! I can do it! I am sure about that! I'm not afraid of any barriers! My brain is ready for anything! Nobody will take me! But I still climb the wall!
If you have certain acting skills, the "victim" you choose will automatically repeat the last line without suspecting anything!
Video draws for April 1
In terms of the number of draws, this day is the record holder of the year. By the way, it is considered bad form to be offended by April Fools' jokes.
Sputnik Georgia has prepared a selection of "jokes" for those who want to play their household members, friends, colleagues, classmates on April Fool's Day and cheer up those around them - relatives, friends or just passers-by.
How to play household
Waking up early, put children's things for adults, and parents' things for children, replace slippers with a larger or smaller size. You can put slippers of different sizes, hide one sock from a different pair, or stitch a sock, and so on.
If you are not too lazy to spend a little time preparing the draw, you can sew up the sleeves or trousers in the clothes of your household with a thin, easily torn thread the night before. You can also sew the sleeve to the leg or sew the neck. Such innocent jokes will turn the process of dressing into a game and set all family members in a major way.
You can recall the jokes that we did more than once in childhood - paint the face of a sleeping person with toothpaste, ketchup or another quickly washed off mixture, and cover the soap with a colorless varnish so that it does not foam.
You can also squeeze out toothpaste, and instead fill the tube with milk, sour cream or mayonnaise with a syringe. By the way, milk would be funnier.
And yet, the divider of the tap can be tinted with liquid dye - blue or red, as a result, blue or red water will flow from the tap. By the way, the latter is scarier.
You can pour detergent into the toilet that lathers well, or put dry pasta under the toilet seat, and when someone sits on it, it will crack like it's broken.

You can carry out various manipulations with cosmetics. For example, replace face cream or deodorant with butter.
In the kitchen, according to tradition, you can replace sugar with salt, add pepper to coffee - this drink is very invigorating in the morning, especially on April 1st. But it will be funnier to make fried eggs from sour cream and halves of a canned peach and serve jelly instead of juice.
The list of various jokes is endless, and it doesn’t matter how you play your family on April Fool’s Day. Most importantly, remember that this is a great occasion to have fun with the whole family.
How to prank friends
There are many jokes associated with the phone. For example, call a friend from an unknown phone number and say the following text: "Hello, this is Durov's corner? Do you need a talking horse? Just don't hang up, you know how difficult it is to type with your hoof!"
Or, call a friend and ask him not to answer the phone for a few minutes, as there is a telephone operator on the line and he could be electrocuted. After a while, call back, and if your friend picks up the phone, let out a heart-rending scream. This prank is not for the faint of heart, so joke in a way that does not harm your loved one.
For the next draw, you need to turn on forwarding to any number on your mobile phone - for example, a government agency, a hairdresser, a bathhouse or a rest home. There will be no limit to the surprise of people calling you when, instead of your greeting, they will hear an unfamiliar voice pronouncing the name of the organization.
You can play a prank on a friend by placing a farting pillow on him. To make the cushion more difficult to see, it is better to place it under the seat cushion. Just make sure the air has somewhere to go.
You can successfully pin it by offering cola with ice. Only now the ice should be filled with mentos chewing candy. After the ice melts and the cola reacts with the mentos, a real fountain is guaranteed.
A friend can be played in the following way, which is called "secret admirer". You should order a chic bouquet and enclose an anonymous note in which you indicate the place and time of the meeting, and a request to bring this very bouquet with you.
To meet with a girlfriend, you need to send a man unfamiliar to her, but he must come with his companion. Approaching your friend, he must take away the bouquet from her and hand it solemnly to his companion. But in order not to bring a loved one to the handle, you need to immediately appear and hand over flowers that were already intended for her.
If you work with a friend in the same office or get to his workplace without interference, you can paste over it with stickers on which you first write declarations of love, good wishes, and so on. Or just throw toys at his workplace, for example, frogs, various rattlesnakes, and so on.
By the way, you can have a party with friends and ask each of them to prepare several comic contests for the evening, and before the end of the holiday, sum up the results and present a prize for the most successful draw.
How to prank colleagues
The simplest prank to perform is to seal the mouse with tape and watch a perplexed colleague or colleagues. On the adhesive tape, you can draw or write something cool: "I'll be there after dinner, your little mouse."

Gala show "Congress of Fools" takes place in Moscow
Or even hide the mouse by placing a note with painted footprints and the words: "Don't look for me, I found a more caring daddy." You can also stick everything that is on it with double-sided tape to a colleague's table - pens, pencils, keyboards, notepads, mice, phones, and so on.
An explosion of laughter in the office guarantees a fan horn under a colleague's chair.
Wait for a colleague to leave the office for a bit, and change the birthday on his Facebook page to April 1, and look at his (her) reaction when they are bombarded with congratulations.
Want to prank all employees at the same time? Bring to work a box of delicious cakes or candy that says April 1st. At the same time, so in passing, say that you do not want something. I guarantee that no one will touch these goodies, as everyone will be wondering what you did with them.
You can also bring a box of sweet pads, for example, "Taste the Crunch" to the office, after replacing the contents with Whiskas pads and observe the reaction of colleagues to the "sweet" pads.
You can print out the boss's order to change the vacation schedule and post it on the bulletin board. Or say that half of the salary of each employee will be transferred to the organization's fund.
If your boss has a good sense of humor, you can prank him or her, or maybe them. For example, the whole team can write a letter of resignation of their own free will and bring it for signature at the same time. True, there is a danger that the boss will actually sign these statements.
You can also compose statements asking for financial assistance in the amount of 10 salaries in connection with the birth of five, flight to Venus, the arrival of aliens, and so on, it all depends on the flight of your imagination.
How to play teachers and classmates
For teachers, April 1 has always been a difficult day, as at every step there are pranks of young pranksters, for whom this day brings indescribable joy.
Schoolchildren are more resourceful than adults. The range of their jokes and pranks is quite extensive, and their fantasies can only be envied.
Among the most common school pranks is sticking stickers to the backs of classmates with inscriptions of various contents, such as "I'll ride with the breeze" or "if you don't have a horse, get on me."
The old joke, "where are you so smeared" always works. You can also offer someone soda by shaking the bottle well beforehand.
A simple prank that always works. On a piece of paper, write "a broom on the ceiling" and let it go around the class. One of the classmates who reads will definitely raise his head up, then the next one and so on. And with them, the teacher begins to look at the ceiling, trying to understand what is happening.
If you are not afraid of the teacher's righteous wrath, you can use the old trick and rub the chalkboard with dry soap. In this case, writing on the blackboard with chalk will not work. But keep in mind that you yourself will have to wash the board later.
Nowadays, almost every student has a mobile phone, so you can come up with different jokes related to the phone. Or just put lipstick on the phone and call him. His ear will be covered in lipstick after he picks up the phone.
For the next trick, take a large cardboard box and cut out the bottom. Put the cardboard on the cabinet so that the bottom fits snugly, fill it with confetti and cover it on top.
By the way, in order for the box to attract the attention of the teacher, you need to write something large on the side with a bright sticker that attracts attention, such as the sex of a boyfriend. When the teacher enters the classroom and sees the box, he will try to remove it or ask one of the students. Either way, the victim will be showered with confetti.
The teacher can be played by saying that the director calls him to him. But we must have time to hang a poster on the door of the director's office with the inscription: "The first of April, do not trust anyone!"
April Fool's drawings will give you a lot of vivid impressions, positive emotions and will be remembered for a long time. So turn on your imagination, have fun and amuse the people around you.
Just remember that the pranks should be adequate to the sense of humor of the one for whom you have prepared jokes for April 1, and observe a sense of proportion in everything so as not to offend someone inadvertently.
Material prepared on the basis of open sources
The first of April is called April Fool's Day or April Fool's Day, but its main feature is considered to be harmless banter with friends and relatives. In order not to become a victim of a prank, you need to get ahead of others and prepare your jokes. This is what we will deal with in the article.
April Fool's Prank Options
April Fool's Day pranks are supposed to be funny, not offending, so choose carefully who and how to play pranks. Consider the character of a person so that the holiday gives pleasant emotions.
The performer of the role of Jon Snow from the Game of Thrones, Kit Harrington, scared his bride Rose Leslie very much on April 1 two years ago, putting a model of his head from the filming in the refrigerator
Pranks that children can prepare
The day before, ask for a classmate's phone, ostensibly for business, and set an alarm on it an hour before the usual rise time. Call back in the morning to see if you liked the draw.
Prepare a bar of soap in advance and cover it with colorless nail polish. Get up early, replace the soap in the bathroom with your own, with a surprise. The family will wonder why they can't soap their hands.
For younger students, it is better to use the help of an adult relative to cover soap with colorless nail polish.
For breakfast, offer your family Oreo cookies or any other, but in the form of a sandwich with a filling. Before that, discreetly from everyone, change the cream layer for toothpaste.
Toothpaste for spreading cookies is better to take without a pronounced aroma, you can also not clean off the filling completely, but make a recess for an unexpected addition
At school, get your hands dirty with chalk and approach a classmate from behind. Cover his eyes with your hands and ask him to guess who you are. After recognition, go about your business, leaving white prints on your friend's face. You shouldn't joke with girls like that, especially in high school, when they can already use makeup.
You can offer classmates a mirror in which, instead of reflection, they will see pictures with funny animals. Remember that the joke should not be offensive.
When choosing pictures with animals, you need to be more careful not to have an enemy instead of a harmless prank
Prank Ideas for Adults
Serve with breakfast juice that is impossible to drink. To do this, dilute the jelly sachets according to the instructions in the evening and pour into glasses. Insert drinking straws and refrigerate. When serving, pretend to drop a glass of juice on the table. The opportunity to eat a treat will calm relatives.
The main feature of the draw is the element of surprise when rollover
When going to work, ask someone from your family to remove the thread from your clothes under the pretext that you will not reach it. Before that, hide a spool of thread under the clothes, and bring the edge out. It will be very difficult to remove such a thread.
Set forwarding from your number to one belonging to some city organization. When trying to get through, people will hear an unfamiliar voice saying a formal greeting.
Hearing in the receiver “You called the Gorvodokanal help desk” will be a surprise for the caller
On the evening before the holiday, linger in the office and seal the bottom of the optical computer mice with adhesive tape. On the first of April, watch the reaction of colleagues wondering why their mice do not work.
For the optical mouse to work properly, the light from the sensor must be reflected off the surface of the table or mat without obstructions.
An office prank with mice can be made more difficult by hiding the device. On the table, leave a note with mouse tracks and text like "Don't look for me, I found someone else."
A colleague who is away for lunch can be played as follows:
- Minimize the program or browser it is running in and take a screenshot.
- Delete shortcuts from the desktop after saving them in a folder.
- Set the screen as your desktop screensaver.
The colleague will understand that this is a hoax, but not immediately. To make the joke a success, practice in advance on your computer. You can also joke with relatives using the screen.
Some advise setting the desktop screen saver to a blue screen of death, simulating a computer malfunction. I consider this a cruel joke that could end up calling the medics. A person is unlikely to calmly accept the news that work on a multi-month project or article was covered due to a breakdown.
Even after pressing the reset button, the blue screen of death screen saver will not disappear, and when the deception is revealed, the joker may need the help of doctors
Make a white stain by pouring glue on the glass and letting it dry. Place discreetly on a colleague's desk or laptop and stand next to the cup in your hand.
Dried PVA glue becomes transparent white, like milk
With a thin needle, make a through hole in the tube. Treat a friend to a drink that is customary to drink through a straw - a milkshake, for example.
Attempts to drink from a straw with additional holes are doomed to failure, because the drink does not rise to the top hole.
Coca-cola with ice. Add crushed Mentos to the water before freezing. The melted ice will cause a violent reaction in the carbonated drink.
A joke from one of the American channels entered the history of April Fools' jokes. News from Switzerland showed the Americans an unprecedented harvest ... pasta. Spectators were surprised that pasta grows vertically, expressed their approval of the actions of journalists, and some were interested in where they could get seedlings.
The following method is suitable for skilled confectioners. Bake banana-shaped cupcakes and cover with fondant. It remains only to invite guests to taste fruit.
A prank with cupcakes in the form of bananas is only possible for experienced housewives
Put a cardboard box for food, and in it - a beetroot with a long tail. Households will take the installation for a mouse or a rat that started up in the house.
If there are no beets in the house, then you can replace it with potatoes by attaching a piece of twine to the vegetable
Tape the sensor on your home or office TV remote control.
The remote control with a sealed infrared sensor does not transmit commands to the TV
A joke that can be used anywhere:
Video: Easy Ways to Prank Your Friends on April 1st
As you can see, there are many options to play around on the first of April. Now you don't have to joke about white backs to get the title of the main comedian in the family, school or work.
April Fools' Day, or April Fool's Day, is celebrated around the world on the first of April. Where the tradition came from on this day to “honor” the gullible and simple-hearted is not known for certain, but the holiday is still alive.
history of the holiday
The tradition, presumably, comes from the Middle Ages, and the first written mention of the first of April as a day of jokes (Fools Holiday) was recorded in 1686. The fashion to play pranks near and far by publishing stupid advertisements in the newspapers came from Britain: as you know, one of the first pranks of this kind was an invitation to wash white lions in the Tower.
In Russia, the holiday appeared and took root during Peter I. It was he who, according to legend, was the author of the first national April Fool's drawing - an invitation to an "unheard of performance", at which simpletons were greeted with a poster: "April 1 - do not trust anyone!".
One of the most famous April Fools' jokes is a 1957 BBC News broadcast about a spaghetti crop harvested from trees.
In Russia, joking in the media on April 1 has become fashionable since late Soviet times. There were good jokes, there were not very good ones, however, all of them were quickly forgotten, and every year the media invent something new. Although Russia recently passed a law on fake news, would-be pranksters have already been reassured that no one will be punished for innocent April Fools' pranks.
Cool jokes April 1 for the office
There are a plethora of resources on the internet that promise to teach you how to play pranks on your co-workers on April 1st. Unfortunately, all these simple pranks revolve around the phrase "who lost a hundred dollars", sticking tape on the phone or gluing a computer mouse to the table.
One office worker, on condition of anonymity, described how he played a cruel prank on an employee whose carelessness caused their department to lose a lucrative job and be left without a bonus.
The lazy employee was not a fool to drink and in this altered state actively entered into close contacts with "girls of reduced social responsibility." “On behalf of” one such girl, on April 1, he received a letter that he had become a happy father ...
The guy who just got married and even quit drinking got so scared that when he found out it was an April Fool's joke, he immediately quit.
However, as statistics show, mostly office pranks are quite innocent.
Drawings for April 1 for SMS
Here, too, Internet offers do not shine with originality. Basically, the content of the allegedly humorous SMS messages is made in the spirit of, they say, stop talking a lot, otherwise your tariff will be called "Hushed". Naturally, all this with some degree of obscene language, which, as you know, is now strictly prohibited in the media.
Here are some more examples of jokes that, according to the authors, can cheer up your friends on April 1st.
“There are periods in the life of men when they are absolutely indifferent to women. These are the first, second and third periods of hockey.”
“Hello, dear subscriber! We want to thank you for your loyalty, congratulations on April Fool's Day and for the sake of fun, we write off a thousand rubles from your account. Your mobile operator.
“I found out what stone you have according to the horoscope! Judging by your face - a brick.
“Look to the left. Look right. Look up. Don't you feel like a fool?!"
Etc., etc. And that's not counting outright obscenities.
So rather than practicing idiotic pranks, it's better to just congratulate your friends on April Fool's Day.

Have fun day and night!
***
We'll go a little crazy
Let's play the fool
Let's laugh too
We make faces at you!
And without it - in any way!
Who is serious - that fool.
Everyone knows: April Fool's Day
Sadness - sadness - a hindrance!
***
This day is not a sin at all
Spread laughter everywhere
And play a joke on someone
To cheer up your friends!
So laugh together, people.
Let the joke be harmless
So that a smile from ear to ear
At least sew on the ties!

The best pranks for the first of April at school
April Fool's Day is loved by many, especially schoolchildren. They are ready to play pranks at any moment, because no one punishes for this on the first of April. At the same time, each student does not forget about attentiveness and constantly expects a trick from his peers. In this part of the article I will consider several ideas for drawing schoolchildren. They require little preparation and provide an incredible effect.
- "Paper Draw". Before the holiday, prepare several sheets of paper with a variety of inscriptions. A notification about repairs, lack of water or cancellation of classes is ideal. Put up graffiti on the walls at school and in the school yard. Just don't get caught by the teachers.
- "Holiday Brick". A classmate who has a roomy backpack with a lot of pockets will suit the role of the victim. When the object of the prank leaves the property unattended, hide a brick or large stone in one of the pockets. After class, the student will automatically put on a backpack and will not pay attention to the fact that the burden has become heavier. The results of the draw will be announced the next day.
- "Goodbye, school" . The draw is suitable for classmates who often miss classes. On April 1, give a peer a letter on behalf of the class teacher with a notice of expulsion from school.
- « Fantomas» . Burn ten matches. Spread the remaining ashes on both hands, then go up to the victim from behind and close her eyes. As soon as the object of the draw guesses you, remove your hands and quickly put it in your pocket. A classmate will not suspect that he has undergone a facial.
- « Soap and blackboard» . On the day of laughter, not only schoolchildren, but also teachers are played. If the teacher's anger is not terrible, rub the board with soap before class. The teacher's attempts to write something on the blackboard will fail.
When choosing a prank, remember that actions should not offend a classmate. In general, on this day, it is recommended to be attentive to both schoolchildren and teachers, because school-age children are unpredictable.

It is possible that thanks to the draw, the life of a close friend will increase by one bright day. In this part of the article you will find ideas that will help in organizing a five-minute laugh.
- "Head in the Bank". Invite your friends to get together and spend April Fool's Eve at your home. Before the guests arrive, fill the jar with water, dip a friend's photo in the liquid and refrigerate. During the evening pastime, ask the victim to bring a bottle of beer from the refrigerator. The effect of surprise will work one hundred percent.
- "Fizzy". Great way to get laid. Invite friends home, offer iced cola. But instead of regular ice, put pieces with Mentos frozen inside in glasses. When the ice melts, the candies will react with the drink, causing a fountain to spurt out of the glass.
- "Time to get up". Before the day of laughter, ask a friend for a phone to make a call. Step aside and secretly set your alarm for 5am. Call a friend back in the morning and ask if they enjoyed getting up early.
- "Screen of Death". If a friend spends a lot of time at the computer, the next April Fool's prank is recommended.

How to prank your parents
If you decide to play a prank on your parents on April 1, you will have to try hard. In the case of parents, topical jokes are inappropriate, since dad and mom are the most dear people who require attention and reverent attitude. As for the main purpose of the April Fool's Relatives Prank, it's all about family fun. How to joke?
- "Dessert with surprise". Pass the processed cheese through a grater, add crushed garlic and chopped hot pepper. Roll the mixture into balls and sprinkle generously with coconut flakes. The spicy taste of an appetizing dessert is guaranteed to surprise parents.
- "Sudden Letter". On the day of laughter, put a letter in the mailbox on behalf of one of the utilities. In the letter, indicate that in the near future a new cable will be laid on the roof of the house, and fragments of concrete may fall from the roof during work. To protect the windows, it is recommended to seal them with tape. If the parents believe, don't let them go too far. Tell me it's a prank.
- "Toothpaste with a twist". In the daily hustle and bustle, parents usually forget about the approach of the first of April and regularly fall for this draw. Stretch cling film over the tube at the point where the paste is extruded. Then close the lid and remove excess material. When parents want to freshen their breath, they will not be able to squeeze out the paste.
- "Bad news". Ask a person you know to call the parents on behalf of the school principal and report the child's expulsion due to constant absenteeism. The main thing is to notify relatives about the draw in a timely manner.
