Some people like it, and just as many people genuinely hate it. But every year the morning of the day dedicated to hoaxes and practical jokes rises, and so do the thrill-seekers ready to shout “got you!” straight in people’s clueless (and often miserable) faces.

So just in time for April Fools, we wrapped up some of the most prank-inspiring examples of people nailing the fools on April 1st. From shameless cake pops with Brussels sprouts inside to a local burger joint turning into “Bob’s Burgers,” some people go an extra length to bring an element of entertainment to our mundane lives.

In a previous interview with Bored Panda, Janet M. Gibson, Ph.D., a Professor of Psychology at Grinnell College, explained that it actually takes quite a bit of work to get a joke. According to her, we have to use cognitive, social, and emotional brain power to form expectations of what's supposed to happen.

But that’s not all. We have to be able to “see how the punchline or unexpected event puts a playful spin on things, figure out the social context to know whether the unexpected event was intended or offensive, and we have to empathize with the joke teller, a character in the joke, or audience to know what is going on,” Prof. Gibson explained.

What’s more, in order for a joke, a prank, or a punchline to be perceived as funny, people have to be ready to have fun. It doesn’t matter whether it has to do with language, social expectations, or simply be amused by the absurdities of the situation.

“If we are lucky, there are cues to help, like the joke teller is smiling or others are laughing, and then we try to figure out why, search for alternate meanings, and pull from memory what other meanings are possible in this context,” Prof. Gibson told us.

On the other hand, as a joker or a prankster, you have to be sure that your joke is simple enough. “If the joke requires too much work to figure it out, we are likely to end up feeling puzzled rather than amused or entertained.”

There’s a belief that one's sense of humor can tell us a lot about their personality. And it’s kind of right, but not in the way you probably think. “If you like jokes that poke fun at death, this does not mean you have death anxiety or are sick. If you like the Three Stooges, it does not mean you are a knucklehead,” Prof. Gibson said.

“In fact, people who like sick jokes tend to score high on openness to experience and high on social intelligence,” she added.

#13 My April Fools Prank

I went into the building where I work on the night before April Fools Day to set up my prank. I'm not proud to say I shimmied under the stall door so that I could lock it from the inside. The great thing about this stall is there are no gaps to glimpse if someone is sitting on the pot. The only way to check is by looking for feet below the stall door.

#28 I Pranked My Wife On April Fools

The story will begin like most mornings. It starts with a seemingly innocuous trip to the throne. The only problem is I rubbed "Chest rub" all over the seat. After such a rude awakening, I'm sure that coffee would be in order. What's coffee without a nice spoonful of sugar? Well, not today. After all that, she should head to work. I can't get her at work, but I emptied the hole punch at my office today, brought the contents home, and loaded them up. I turned ac on max and aimed accordingly. I love you, honey, and April fools.
