Redbox introduces Petbox, lots of silly, animal-based movie and game puns ensue.

Toonzone's forums, like every year, is flinging prank threads left and right, saying this like Nickelodeon introducing Nickdad to go with Nickmom, Disney acquiring the rights to many 90's Nicktoons with intents on making new TV shows based on them, Cartoon Network losing its 6am and 7pm slots so [adult swim] can air more King of the Hill, and that Boomerang will be airing things like Harvey-era Family Feud, Bo Bo Bo-Bo Bo-Bo Bo, and The Walking Dead.

In other news, I kinda pulled a prank on my mom this morning. I told her there was a dead mouse in our cat's litter box and she ran over and looked inside.

"Where's the mouse?" "There isn't a mouse. Gotcha!"

There's also something that I've posted on these forums today that isn't real.

So, it looks like Reddit's April Fools is in full swing, not that I care since I'm too busy playing Cards Against Nation States. Any word on a T Vtropes April Fools thing?

Twitch has taken away the infamous Kappa face.

We don't have anything planned for this year, btw.

My previous joke was foiled Monday, so I couldn't go with that. (Who knew a poll would lead to that...)

As for today, all I did was increase the post count of one of my forum's admins by 10 000. (Whether I did that or not, he'd still have more posts than me.)

Dragon Riders is canceled and Team Dragon Rise is disbanded. I'm a failure as an administrator of two forums.

Agh, I completely missed being here all day. :( Did anything happen?

I did see one subreddit which added miniscule conspiracy theory text at the end of every post. #OccupyArea51

Monsanto is at fault here. I don't know how, I can feel it.
We also need to free Kevin Mitnick. They say he's been released, but that's not him. He's been replaced by a body double.

I honestly can't be the only who thinks April Fools day as being the real life equivalent of Chuck Norris Facts, am I.

As in its repetitive, stupid, and not funny anymore?

It depends. Quite a few of the April Fool's jokes are actually pretty creative - and ultimately unobtrusive.

I mean, who doesn't want to play Pacman Google Maps?

The Kerbal Space Program subreddit was about Kerbal Submarine Program for a day and on r/StarTrek, the screen slowly filled with tribbles.

The subreddit r/AskHistorians was quite good yesterday.

Case in point (the quoteblocked part is one of the comments - bold emphasis mine:

You need to understand that the Lion King is not a scholarly work. It's a neo-Mufasan work of apartheid apologetics. To understand the film you need to analyze the cultural context of its production. Simba had just restored the ancien regime, and reactionary sentiments were strong in the Pridelands. The hyenas, subaltern that they are, were in no position to make their position heard. Films like the Lion King were common at the time, and its enduring popularity has helped to perpetuate myths about what actually happened that day.

The truth is we don't know. The only established facts are that Mufasa was killed by a throng of agitated wildebeests. It's entirely possible that wildebeests, acting on their own volition, killed Mufasa due to discontent at their assigned role in the so-called 'Circle of Life,' the orthodox ideology and thinly veiled caste system of the Pridelands.

I think people have forgotten the true meaning of April Fools Day. :P

It isn't, or at least shouldn't be, about pulling dumb tricks on people we know for a fleeting opportunity to laugh at them.

It's about examining the thought processes, ideals, and expectations of daily life and systematically turning them upside down to expose the profoundly ridiculous side of our common human existence.

Instead all that is ever seems to be inverted in practice is simply "trust" and "normality".

Well, on Kongregate yesterday, the long-awaited "Learn to Fly 3" was released... and of course there's no actual game and it just freezes on the "loading screen" 80% of the way through.
