April Fools’ Day Is Really Terrific

Just kidding! April 1st is like St. Patrick’s Day, except instead of alcoholism, all the amateurs attempt humor.

A typical April Fools’ Day “joke” consists of announcing something that would never really happen, which is funny because it would never really happen. Here’s Netflix making an attempt:

“WTF? They made a movie about John Stamos? April has 31 days?” Hey, look at a calendar, dummy! You were fooled by this really great hoax that is funny.

But wait, there’s less! When you scroll down the page, even more hilarity ensues:

april_fools_stinks02

Get it? Because John Stamos. So random, right? This is the part where you laugh.

Here are some other really hilarious April Fools’ gags you can enjoy today:

America roared with socially mandated laughter at the trailer for the literally dickless version of Ghostbusters. But did you know that scientists have invented a real-life proton pack?

April Fools! You were fooled. Admit that you were fooled.

Trader Joe’s put out a fake press release announcing they’ll be closing all their stores by 2017. That’s a terrific joke because all the people who work at Trader Joe’s don’t need their jobs. LOL.

A tech company (or… IS it?) called Prysm announced the creation of TV in a spray can. There’s a fake product launch video at the link, which I guess will be mildly amusing if you watch a lot of product launch videos.

Google!

Google.

No, Africa has not really been changed from a continent to a country. Sorry, Sarah Palin!

Your tax dollars are hard at work, America:

Fooled ya! You really thought that was true, didn’t you? Ha ha ha.

Here’s another bit of funny humor comedy that you’re paying for whether you like it or not:

LOL x ∞!

The Daily Mail announced that an actress named Olivia Coleman will be the new James Bond. See, because she’s a woman, and James Bond is a man, and it’s 2016.

A lot of news outlets have announced that Donald Trump is the Republican frontrunner for president… Oh wait. That one makes the whole idea of April Fools’ Day redundant.

The best thing about April 1st is that eventually it ends. These people should leave humor to the professionals. I’m not funny either, but at least I’ve had plenty of practice at it.

I’m not tipping my hat to Abby Ohlheiser and Caitlin Dewey for finding those examples of April Fools frivolity, and a lot more. (Gotcha! I really did tip my hat to them just now.)

P.S. No, I don’t care if it’s April Fools’ Day or April Fool’s Day or April Fools Day. They all stink.

P.P.S. Okay, guys, I fell for this one. Not fair, posting it at 13 minutes to Midnight…

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
