View Full Version : Best April Fools gag you've seen today?
ffl
April 1st, 2007, 04:10 PM
I've seen two. Although one was just "fail" in so many ways.
The first one was from the episode of One Piece that just aired in Japan today, Sunday. The opening starts off like it usually does, but there's something different in it...
Screen in question:
http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/1188/ndvd000ns1.th.jpg (http://img61.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd000ns1.jpg)
Usual screen:
http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/9284/ndvd012ma7.th.jpg (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd012ma7.jpg)
I chalk it up to the raw provider just adding in a litle something extra. Then... I notice something else...
What is in there this time:
http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/9626/ndvd011ll6.th.jpg (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd011ll6.jpg)
But wasn't last time:
http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/5862/ndvd021uh2.th.jpg (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd021uh2.jpg)
there are now two random guys in the opening with the rest of the crew.=S I'm thinking it's some sort of joke by the raw provider until I realized... "Oh... it's April Fool's day, this must've been a joke by the animators. Very slick... first time I've seen an April Fool's joke in an anime series."
Here are other comparison screens of the opening for those who are curious:
Guy 1 (http://img61.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd001pc2.jpg)
Guy 2 (http://img61.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd002iz5.jpg)

Screen A2 (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd013sc2.jpg)
Screen B1 (http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd004za0.jpg)
Screen B2 (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd014lp9.jpg)
Screen C1 (http://img486.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd005bp3.jpg)
Screen C2 (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd015ur0.jpg)
Screen D1 (http://img486.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd006gq7.jpg)
Screen D2 (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd016um1.jpg)
Screen E1 (http://img486.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd007hi0.jpg)
Screen E2 (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd017at9.jpg)
Screen F1 (http://img486.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd008fe9.jpg)
Screen F2 (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd018iv7.jpg)
Screen G1 (http://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd009yq7.jpg)
Screen G2 (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd019gx5.jpg)
Screen H1 (http://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd010bv0.jpg)
Screen H2 (http://img251.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ndvd020fo7.jpg)
This next one is just a total failure on their part though. Link... in more ways than one (http://www.wii.tv/2007/03/31/wiitv-exclusive-new-title-announcement/). It was just too pathetic... mainly because it makes me sad that it's only a joke.=(

Nah, the only April fools jokes I've seen are the ones posted here on AN.
Mexico celebrates the equivalent of April Fools on December 28. Obviously everyone is so damn drunk from the holidays, nobody even celebrates it.
As if we didn't celebrate enough stupid holidays. Day of the taco anyone?

Over on the DATS forum, which is the fansubbing group that is doing Digimon Savers, they announced they had received a cease&desist order and that they weren't going to be releasing the final episode of Savers.
People FREAKED OUT. Luckily for me, I didn't get on until after all the fuss was over and they had admitted to the joke so I wasn't fooled. The thread is pretty funny though. Don't mess with Digimon fans man, they're crazy. :lol:
That's the only one I've seen so far today though.

The fansub group which Narutards love and which I may not name here had a pretty amusing April Fool. They put up a front page saying that they had been taken down by the US DoJ for copyright violations. I was lullin' thinking of all those nubs and lamers soiling themselves at the thought of no more Naruto.

I thought the Futuristic Legend of Zelda thing was pretty good, especially since the video I saw had it dated before April 1st, but after checking their site and seeing the date that they had for that bit of info, it was just lame once I saw that they had tried to pull their joke early.

Showing my lack of knowledge in video games these days, is the guy in the red coat the half-demon Devil May Cry dude? I haven't played any console games since the N64, so I'm a little sketchy on new(ish) games.
People in Medford, NJ are boring, so I didn't see a single decent April Fool's joke. Hell, the most response I saw was when I told my brother and sister that one of our cats had been run over on Route 70. They started screaming hysterically, and I felt like a douche-bag. This is why I generally don't participate in this rather dubious day.
Best April Fool's prank I've ever heard was before NHL started up again. Jackson (93.3 FM WMMR) called in to the Preston and Steve morning show (same) to report that Flyers tickets were going on sale. People waited for hours to buy tickets that didn't exist. Beautiful.

I did one to my dad Sunday and my friends did one for me today.
Sunday:
Told my dad there was a deer out back. I waited three hours before calling him back in. While my mother laughed her *** off, his face was ****ing purple.
Today:
My friends told me that the one friend was seriously hurt in a car accident because he was nowhere to be found. They made a fake newspaper article, his girlfriend fake cried, and they waited until I started crying before Kelton jumped up behind me, covered my eyes, and said "Guess who?" Then they all screamed APRIL FOOLS!
I am SO getting them next year.

Google paper was kind of funny, along with Google Toilet ISP. Funniest gag was a few years ago when a local morning show said that some yuppy suburb's water supply had been infected with Dyhydrogeon Monoxide (h2O). They were saying stuff like a small amount can kill you (like you drown in a few inches) and some other stuff. The local City got pissed off because the water dept was inudated with calls, and they had to give out like from PSA time to the City.

Preferably in the written in the blood, guts and entrails of the person who did the kicking. I don't think there's anything at all that can justify kicking a guy in the balls unless he's attacking you. By attacking, I mean physically, of course. I think that to do so unless you feel physically threatened is cowardly and more than a little evil.
