Wouldn't you just love to pull this prank off? Imagine putting all your coworker's stuff in the vending machine.
With the help of the vending machine guy, Jim puts all of the items from Dwight's desk, including his bobble head doll and his wallet, into the vending machine.
The Office Season 2 Episode 11 "Booze Cruise"
It's the annual motivational cruise! Michael ticks off the caption. Roy gets drunk and announces a wedding date that Pam knows nothing about. And of course, Jim realizes he still in love with Pam. It is amazing what can happen when you are stuck on a boat with your coworkers.

Happy April Fools Day!
Happy April Fools Day Everybody!
We have posted so many great April Fools clips from our favorite shows. It would be a shame if you missed any of them. So here is just a little reminder of our "April Fools Day" tab. Just click on it and you get links to all our April Fools posts. And who knows it might just inspire some last minute pranks. Happy Fooling!
Here is a post that most of you probably missed. We originally posted it on March 19th. But it seems right to post Origins of April Fools Day on April Fools Day especially when it includes some great Homer and Bart Simpson pranks.
Enjoy!
As far as holidays go, April Fools' gets the shaft in the holiday hierarchy. But what other day gives you permission to humiliate your boss, teacher or spouse? So are The Simpsons pulling our chains with their pagan origins story? Even back in season 4, I wouldn't put it past Matt Groening and company.
Season 4, episode 18 - So It's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show
Classic April Fools material. The show actually aired on April 1, 1993, but its still a classic today. Isn't it great how Homer and Bart haven't seemed to grasp what's "over the line?" The gag culminates in Bart pulling the ultimate prank, shaking a beer can in a paint mixing machine. The subsequent beer explosion ("We need pretzels, repeat pretzels") puts Homer in the hospital and kicks off a clip show as the family reminisces.

April Fools Day: The worst that daytime TV has to offer
These April Fools Clips are so bad, they are funny.
Martha Stewart thinks she is so funny as she figures out it will take 6,220 little dyed pieces to make a queen-sized blanket. But she just isn't very good at the relieve.
Now Ellen Degeneres is actually a comedian so I had higher expectations for her. But again, it is only funny in a that's not funny kind of way.
Ellen scares Christina Applegate twice during the segment and I think Christina enjoyed it more than was scared by it.

April Fools Day: The Office Prank Countdown #2
This is perhaps the apex of Office jokes, even though its from the first episode pilot of the U.S. version. But I wonder if you could actually pull this off. It would take some serious Jell-O skills.
The Office Season 1 Episode 1"Pilot"
In the pilot episode of The Office we meet Michael Scott and get introduced to his offbeat management style. We get to meet the whole office group as well as Ryan the new intern. Gossips starts to arise as news of potential layoffs circles the office.

April Fools Day: Ugly Betty
April Fools Day is tomorrow. It is time to finalize all your plans. You'll find a good use for mayo in this webisode.
Marc and Amanda love to make fun of Betty and April Fools Day gives them the perfect excuse. And as Marc says "What brings people more joy than mean-spirited April Fools pranks at their expense?"
Throughout in this clip Marc and Amanda face a problem we all have, guilt. They start to feel bad for pranking Betty after all the nice things she has done for them.
So the question remains, to prank or not prank. Good luck with your decision of who and how to fool someone tomorrow.

April Fools Day: The Office (U.K.) Prank Countdown #3
I couldn't ignore The Office's roots when making this prank countdown list. The original Michael Scott, David Brent, likes to have fun around the office. But some might think he takes it a little too far with this one, especially Dawn (or as we know her in the US, Pam).
The Office (U.K.) Season 1 Episode 1 "Downsize" (censored)
Manager David Brent meets with corporate only to find out that either his sales office might be joined with another office causing redundancies which means layoffs. Word spreads around the office and everyone is on edge. If you would like to watch the full episode, it is available on hulu.com.

April Fools: An unexpected surprise
I wish I could pull something like this without getting fired.
NewsRadio, Season 2, Episode 14, "The Song Remains the Same"
NewsRadio was a throwback to smart, witty humor with the occasional cheap joke. Oh, where have you gone intelligent comedy?
The episode actually revolves around Dave's favoritism towards girlfriend Lisa, but Jimmy always lightens up the mood with his childishness and impulsive personality. "But if I waited until April I would lose the element of surprise." Simply brilliant.

April Fools Day: The Office Prank Countdown #4
April Fools Day is now only 3 days away so here is my #4 The Office prank. Hopefully it will help you in your planning for Friday.
The Office, Season 3, Episode 11, "Back from Vacation"
Jim doesn't miss an opportunity to mess with Dwight. When Dwight bring a tape recorder to a sale meeting, Jim turns the table.
In the episode, Michael returns from his Jamaican vacation with Jan. When he tries to send a picture to Todd Packer, he ends up sending it to the whole company. This would be a problem if it wasn't a picture of Jan sun bathing.
Meanwhile, Jim freaks out because Karen rents an apartment really close to Jim's. Pam helps them work it out.

April Fools: An April Fool old School
Ah Donna Reed. So wholesome. When Mary Stone slips that a famous singer is recuperating in her home, little brother Jeff uses April Fools Day as a backdrop to scare away the adoring fans.
Even 40 years later, this show is just as imaginative as many sitcom plots. The only difference is Donna Reed did it first.
The plot of the show follows young Mary as she gets ready to head out to a "Buzz Barry" concert. But Buzz comes down with the measles. The concert is cancelled by Mary is elated to find that Buzz is recovering in the Stone home.
For Simpsons fan, some of the plot line is strikingly similar to the season 3 episode "Stark Raving Dad," when Homer invites a Michael Jackson impersonator home and Bart spills the news to his friends. Except the Springfield fans are thwarted when they discover its not the King of Pop, but a fat white crazy dude.

April Fools Day: The Office Prank Countdown #5
April Fools Day is this Friday so it is time to start plotting your pranks. The Office is a great resource. This week I will be counting down my picks for the top 5 Office pranks.
This one is number five because although it is funny and gets the whole group involved, it would be pretty hard to replicate. Although I would love to see it done in real life.
The Office Season 7 Episode 6 "Costume Contest"
This is actually a Halloween episode. Pam, as new office administrator, plans a costume contest where the winner get a coupon book that has everyone fighting for the price. Meanwhile, corporate institutes a program that Darrell first presented to Michael which he shut down.

April Fools': Price is Right's Drew Carey still haunted by Mimi
From 2010's Price is Right April Fools episode. Kathy Kinny stops by to reprise one of the most memorable characters in recent television history.
Of course "Mimi" is back to bust Drew's chops about his hosting abilities. Drew Carey has never been quite the perfectionist that Bob Barker was, but at least the guy can laugh at himself. Oh how I miss the Drew Carey Show.
Since Carey took over, The Price is Right has always pulled out the stops for April Fools' Day. Definitely DVRing this year's episode.

Mama's Family: April Fools downers are easy targets
Season 5, episode 104: April Fools
Always remember that the more you hate something, the more it makes you a target. Deathly fear of spiders? Fake spider pranks? Hate a particular holiday (like April Fools)? Prank target number one.
Remember Mama, the curmudgeony matriarch? She'll obviously she'll fall victim to many pranks. In this clip she falls for some good-old wordplay humor with lemon spongecake.
Later in the episode, after years of being the butt of jokes, she's fed up and decides a prank of her own will show everyone who's the boss.

Three Best Game Show Fools
3 - Wheel of Fortune - Pat Sajak living a lie?
April 1, 2008
The bald cap was so convincing that people were actually convinced that host Pat Sajak wore a hair piece. Even eternally youthful co-host Vanna White was taken aback by the revelation. But it was a gag. Sajak explained it about a month later.

Community: March 32?
With every April Fools prank you have to worry about the backlash. But who would expect April 1st to be taken away and replaced with March 32?
Season 1 Episode 20 - The Science of Illusion
Finally, an entire episode dedicated to April Fools Day. These are few and far between. The main plot follows Britta as she tries to impress the gang with a prank. But when she breaks into the the biology lab to steal a frog (which she intends to put a sombrero on and stick in Chang's desk, since he is afraid of frogs), she kills the frog and knocks a cadaver out the window.
A prank gone horribly wrong seems to follow traditional April Fools' Day storylines, but the real gold is the gag Jeff and Abed pull on gullible Pierce, tricking him into wearing a wizard robe around campus by convincing him it is part of a Buddhist ceremony.
There's also Annie and Shirley trying to one-up each other as tough cops (security guards) and Dean Pelton's war on April 1 (March 32nd to him). Maybe one of the best April Fools' Day themed episodes in recent memory.

Kenan & Kel: I can't believe I still laugh at this
Not much subtlety in a show like Kenan & Kel, but for some reason I still chuckled during a few of the bits.
Season 4, Episode 12 - The April Fools
Check out part two here.
Pies to the face, face lottery tickets, trick sandwiches, this show doesn't exactly win awards for high-brow humor, but you have to give Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell credit for the non-stop gags. Of course, everything goes wrong in the end and the police get involved.
For some reason Thompson, of current Saturday Night Live fame, still looks exactly the same. His humor hasn't changed much either. As for Kel, well, I hope he bought plenty of orange soda.

Full House: April Fools lottery prank on Joey
Only a Full House April Fools prank could end in hugs.
Season 7 Episode 19 - Love on the Rocks.
Sorry about the link. Embedding was disabled. Enjoy.
Vowing revenge on Joey the prankster, the gang decides pull a prank of their own with a fake lottery ticket. But as always, Joey turns the tables and gets the last laugh. The episode isn't really about April Fools', more about the family-friendly romance between D.J. and Steve, but the joke subplot adds some life to the episode.
