I am so tired of dumb obvious "jokes" on April Fools.

apropos of that second bit, was surprised to see Chappelle's name on the marquee at the Independent last Thursday night, line was around the block.

Oh, he still does standup like a machine. It's purposely underpromoted, though.

Anyway, just deposit links in this thread as you come across them, the stupider and more obvious the better.

(I highly recommend following Hadfield, he's tweeting from the International Space Station and puts up loads of amazing shots from space. Much better resource than 'I love fucking science', anyway.)

Yeah, I was going to add "and I say this as an ilxor" in my first post, I probably should have went ahead with it.

youtubes effort was hilarious but not half as hysterical as some of the reactions to it

Antoine Dodson cameo on the Youtube vid made me lol hard

parcheesi Wotsits (Noodle Vague), Monday, 1 April 2013 21:35 (eleven years ago) link

I feel that the standard of media April Fool's stuff has improved from the universal dumbness of the pre-internet days, but then there was maybe also less of the basically sadistic cruelty of the likes of the Chappelle and Boards of Canada ones.

I think I'd be more interested in Football Manager 1888 than FM2013.

Was just coming here to post the Soundcloud one but Crut beat me to it. it had me fooled for a nanosecond! The comments reacting indignantly are hilarious.
