April Fools' jokes

April Fools' Day 2022: Butterfinger Mayo, Invisible Earbuds and ... (CNET)

The jokes are flying fast and furious for April 1. Bud Light, Tushy and Reddit are getting in on the fun with (mostly) fake products and pranks.

For Friday, the company went to the other extreme with the Tiny Gulp, a mere 0.7 ounces of fizzy, sugary beverage. That means the forecast for Friday in Indianapolis is for a high of 281 Kelvin. Enjoy your day. This fake promotional video gets a nod for the sheer amount of effort put in by Sun-Maid, the brand known for its raisin products. A pitch-perfect promo video sells the concept of simplicity for this revolutionary new product. Regional pizza chain Dion's sliced up some carrots and put them on a piece of pizza to create an unholy salad-pie hybrid for April Fools'. It's a simple but effective joke. Are you on the receiving end of the "go touch some grass" insult? Available in black or blue for $20, the kit includes a pee funnel, a carrying case and can lids to keep you from accidentally drinking the used containers. Meat company Omaha Steaks imagined a set of roll-on perspirants (that's not a typo) that will give you the meat sweats in scents of original beef, lighter fluid and mesquite. Beer brand Busch Light combined April Fools' with upcoming Earth Day for a real product called the Pee in a Busch Kit. The idea is to convince beer drinkers to pee into empty cans that can then be disposed of, rather than urinate on trees. It's time to go back to the past. If you like your April Fools' Day with a side of computing nostalgia, you'll enjoy Synology's concept for a FloppyStation said to offer speed, power and efficiency. Here are some of the funniest, goofiest entries for 2022, so get ready for a little comic relief.

The best April Fools' Day jokes of 2022 (PC Gamer)

It's April Fools' Day, canonically the worst day to be in the business of writing news. Today is all about trying to trick the general public with fake ...

The Among Us account posted a picture of the astronaut with four legs back in 2021, and now the image is a reality. Valheim devs Iron Gate AB, have put out a joke trailer for Rise/Demise of the Deer King. Players in this update would get to live their life as a deer rather than as a Viking and you know what, it's kind of cool. We've since had to adjust to a new way of life and navigate many new Elden Ring-related production challenges. In reality this guy is just messing about in a suit that reminds me of the tech in Spy Kids 3: Game Over. Great film by the way, even had Elijah Wood in it for a matter of minutes. If you're unaware, the Royal Albert Hall is a large concert hall in London and a prestigious space for all sorts of performances. The only problem is that the keyboard in question comes out the left side of the screen, making it impossible to see the screen and use the keyboard. Return to the perfection of cubes and beauty of beige and dial-up in retro style! and now we can say: "ha ha wait OH NO STOP."starting now for one day only, this free cursed mode is available to play as part of our April Fools celebrationwe're not sorry pic.twitter.com/ZuP4cJtuL9April 1, 2022One of 2021's defining games was Among Us, the social deception game based on making your mates think you're their friend by not stabbing them in the dark. But even with its classic reputation, someone on the team had the genius idea to joke about getting into NFTs. The full post can be read here, but just to quote my favourite line: "For too long, too much of what the Hall has offered has been fungible—and has been avidly funged by our audience. Overclockers tweeted a video celebrating a 'new' line of PC towers and monitors that will transport you back to the 90s, just in case you're sick of all the RGB of modern set ups contain. It would be a great place to hang out with mates and maybe watch a sitcom, right?If you've somehow not got the hint by now, the House Flipper update is based on the American sitcom, Friends. The two apartments where the majority of the show is set are available to flip and update to your liking which is a pretty cool idea. Elgato's April Fools is the Cam Link Retro, a play on its Cam Link product which content creators wildly use to connect their cameras to their streams.

Bills Celebrate April Fools' Day With Hilarious Fake Alternate Uniforms (Sports Illustrated)

Chicken-wing themed uniforms in Buffalo? With ranch? The Bills were in the holiday spirit.

The Bills announced that they were releasing, or rather … not releasing, a new absurd alternate city jersey ahead of the 2022 season. “Who doesn’t love a good chicken wing logo, it’s a win-win.” The level of detail put into a fake uniform release is hilarious and noteworthy.

The Best (And Worst) April Fools' Jokes In Gaming For 2022 (Kotaku)

Some pranksters include Sonic, Among Us, and Genshin Impact.

I am devastated to tell you that the official Fire Emblem: Three Houses tea set was revealed today on April Fools.’ The set features a gorgeous gift box, a cute tea cup and saucer, and blends of every type of tea in the game. Just to be extra cheeky, the key mainly used in the video is “F.” So you might not be able to jump or move around, but at least you’ll be able to pay your respects. To be fair, some of the transformations are a lot more odd looking. While the rest of us might ask “Why?,” Among Us asks us “Why not?” Today, the official Genshin Impact Twitter account retweeted a stop-motion video from their official fanworks account that showed “gameplay” of an adorable chibi Abyss Lector. Players previously met the so-called “Enjou” during the Enkanomiya event, where he captured the community’s heart by being a massive flirt. Here are some of the ones that I’ve spotted in the wild:
