The only person laughing is usually the person who made the joke and it’s generally just irritating to everyone else who just wants to get on with their day. I might feel differently if we like, got the day off work for April Fools Day I guess

    A good prank gets the prankee to laugh along with everyone. For instance sending a singing telegram to someone would cause slight embarrassment, but would still be entertaining for everyone involved as long as they don’t work at a funeral home or something like that.

    The dumbest ones are when they mess with someone’s car by covering it with something or filling it with something like plastic balls or whatever. That’s just mean and not creative.

      Sending a singing telegram to someone who wouldn’t be okay with that kind of thing is still a bad prank.
