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.

I’m a librarian so I put out a display of invisible books on April Fool’s day. But my patrons saw right through it.

    Hey, my older daughter was born on Apr. 2. Her due date was Apr. 1, my water broke at 4am that day and we were headed for the hospital by 6am. Both my husband and mother in law thought it was an April Fools joke at first. But she had the last laugh on us. The doctor took her out by way of a C-section at 1:16am on Apr. 2 because she was going into distress. We still tease her about her our ultimate April Fools joke.

    I remember many years ago at work, I left a post-it note on a colleague's desk with a phone message to "please call Perry O'Dontell" with the number for a general dentist. I overheard her ring and ask, and she slammed the phone down in anger when I can only assume whoever answered the phone pointed out the date. I couldn't stop laughing for hours.
