My favorite (as in the only ones that aren't irritating) April Fools are the ones where someone spends a load of effort to actually build an absurd-but-cool thing that has no reason to exist except to make you laugh
Jokes about pretending you made an absurd-but-cool thing but actually you didn't - not funny
Jokes about pretending you did something bad or sad but actually you didn't - also not funny
Jokes that something either good or bad happened but actually it didn't - again, never funny
