There are two kinds of people when it comes to April Fools’ day. There are the ones who definitely, absolutely couldn’t care less about all the ruckus and those who carefully plan, scheme, and prepare over-the-top pranks for every member of their household or office. Such a division! However, even with such a chasm between the two groups, there is still one thing that is agreeable by both parties - good ole April Fools’ jokes. What else, if not these cool jokes, unite us? So, to offer a bridge between the two groups, we’ve gathered some truly good April Fools’ jokes, put them on this list, and are sharing them with you!

Now, you might be wondering what funny April Fools’ jokes there might be when the whole celebration is basically one huge joke. And rightfully so! To put your mind at peace, here’s what we can tell you about these funny jokes - they aren’t just about the occasion itself, but also about people, and if not the people, then what is more relatable, understandable, and undoubtedly funny? Well, maybe cats, but not all the time, either. And if jokes about people aren’t the cup of tea that makes you go into full-on ha-ha mode, you can always treat these funny jokes as an anthropological treatise on life.
