April Fools Day - Love/Hate

[iastatehunter]

Looks like Google is on the "hate" side this year. Basically Google added a send button that attaches a minion gif to the email you send. Lots of people doing it inadvertently at work.

Hate it. Was it ever funny?

I like it.

That is not a joke.

I tell lots of lies.

That's a fact.

I got one of those emails last night and thought it was hilarious.

I saw the "Send and Mic Drop" thing last night when I was sending a clients tax returns to his banker. I wasn't dumb enough to press it and I just hit regular send.

If you were stupid enough to press it when sending a important email then you deserve whatever ramifications you get.


And I thought the Mic Drop thing was hilarious.

The Sports Illustrated April Fools day prank was pretty good. I remember people reading that edition just pondering this baseball phenom.

I think my excitement for it peaked in 8th grade. I still tolerate it now, but it wouldn't bother me if it just stopped.

I always find it really funny when companies put big money into it, good marketing.

One of the few things I have no strong feelings about. If some enjoy it in a nonharmful way, fine.

To my 5-year-old. I'll give her a pass for, like, three more years.

I think the internet has gone too far with April Fools. This though is pretty great. Hamburger Helper released an album with some actually decent tracks.

People who hate April Fools are communists. :tongue:

Expecting a little bit of snow for earlier this morning, I decided to pull this gem on social media last night.

Worked out well. Think I fooled quite a few people by looking at some of the shares and comments.

I think April Fool's has a place. But it has to be good. No lame duck or cliche attempts.

....there doesn't seem to be an "ignore" option in the thread title...

Not a fan. Why save up all that shenanigans for one single day when it can be spread over the entire year when people aren't necessarily expecting it?

Legit businesses use gmail as their official work email?

Problem is a lot of the time the April Fools trailers are better than the real ones.
