April Fool's Day 2015

Because it's April 1st somewhere in the world right now, here's a thread for sharing all the funny April Fools jokes you see happen in real life and across the Internet!

First up! Google! What's their joke this year? Go to Google Maps, type in a location and see for yourself!

Well, I know that Nation States is good at pulling off something big this time of year. I'll update you as the prank develops.

For all you anime and game fans here's a collection of April Fool's specials from a variety of production companies. First one is for Ace Attorney.

I am not drunk.

I'm actually not doing anything, because of John Oliver's video.

The knitting/crochet site I use (Ravelry) has funny/cute hats on everyone's avatars. (Mine has a halo. On a Vriska avatar.)

This just in: Nation States is playing Cards Against Humanity.

Nobody ever plays Duel Monsters. :(

Two sub-reddits switched layouts in observance.

Also, the PC Master Race sub-reddit has an important announcement

So what is TV Tropes doing?

We're flipping the logo upside down, switching around the color schemes for Darth Wiki and Sugar Wiki, and replacing the main page with a YouTube video of the Chicken Dance. Well, not really.

...did I really just send multiple copies of the same icon to some poor sod?

The SCP Foundation seems to be hiding ducks in some of its articles. So far it seems subtler than the previous year, where the most fearsome entries had been turned into cute versions.

Here's Deviant Art's annual fake product.

KnowYourMeme has replaced the cursor with an Illuminati symbol.

I made this, although it requires some paleontological & ornithological knowledge.

Correction: An Illuminati symbol that gains an anime eye and Blush Stickers when hovered over a link.

You Tube doesn't seem to have done anything this year either.

The animal rescue site (which is a thing I click daily to help shelter animals) is promoting "teach your dog to read".

I've found Youtube's one. They've added an "Add Music" buttton, which plays a song over videos.

Just the one song, though.

Think Geek's got a bunch of fake products, and Zelda Informer is now Reggie-themed.

... Where? I can't see it.

I've also seen a Facebook post about "Nintendo Executive" Amiiboos.

I am disappointed, TV Tropes.

You might need to have enables the html5 player to access it, same as the slow down and speed up options. Its just clips of Sand Storm though, nothing special

So that song really is Darude - Sandstorm now, I guess.

Smashboards is replacing everyone's avatars with Shaq.
