Best April Fool's prank you ever pulled
I know, an April Fool's thread that isn't a prank. The mind boggles.
Anyway, we're a pretty ridiculous bunch on here, so I wonder, what's the best April Fool's joke you ever pulled on someone?
Mine was in my freshman year of high school. My friends and I had been saving the food coloring packets from the Lunchables promotion at the time. They were colored powders that would change to another color when wet. Mostly, we had the orange packets that turned the pizza sauce green. So when my lit teacher stepped out of the room, I went up to his desk and put one of the packets into his coffee. He didn't notice for quite a while, though he did make a comment that it tasted like all the sugar settled to the bottom. When he eventually did notice that his coffee was green, he freaked out and got rid of it. Needless to say, he wasn't very energetic that day.

We said that we found the original (german) radioplays of Monkey Island and Zak McKracken. They were planned to be included in the boxes of these games (like Loom).
I stamped the logos on a blank cassette and made photos. Pure evidence!
And the page had a link to these radio-plays as well, you could listen to them right now!
Of course these were only the pretty short rubbish ones I did myself. This was actually the first time they were released in the internet. Almost a historic moment! One year later the Monkey Island one would become a flash-movie. Teehee.
I know, it's still pretty lame
he fell for it, and I then told him the truth that Mel Brooks wont make it and the closest he will get is the sadly ill fated cartoon show
I have to say that's the most epic win of an April Fools joke I ever made.
I think I saw something like that once...
Oh, jeez, that was you? I heard about it way after the fact, but still... Damn, you're awesome.
Telltalers Andrew as well as David E, and James Spafford (now community manager over at Media Molecule) and a few other folks were also involved.
Well, yeah, but I meant the prank would be hard to top. All of you are awesome. Especially LucasArts for allowing it and Dom for participating.
You're torturing me, you know that?
o_O
What'd I do?
I keep wanting to make a comment about how I want to top Jake, now...
And it's all your fault! Not my dirty mind, no, it's 100% you. Bad, bad perverted guru.
We don't all work for Telltale!
Anyways, I don't think I've ever pulled a good prank. I'm terrible at that. I'm such a bad liar, people can see through it right away if I try to prank them, and even if I can't I'll them them it's a joke before they have time to fall for it.

Did you really revive this thread for that?
And a damn funny one it was, too.
In addition, now that you have posted in this thread, we know who to...ah...thank.
No, I revived this thread because it seemed like a good idea to bring it back this year. That just happened to be a preferable option to "BUMP".
Which, of course, led not to Darth Vader going "NOOOOOOOOOOO!", but Rebecca Black, and it actually worked.
Same is relevant today.
But Jake's prank still pwns.
My brother did pull a pretty fantastic one about five years ago about him being expelled from college, with a letter from the dean and everything. It scared my mom only for a few minutes because she expects that kind of stuff from him.
I let him freak out for a while before I let him in on the prank.
But you did it while I wasn't here, so your ass is toast.
1-Taped a balloon to someone's tire so they think thought had a blowout when they left
2-Giving a lightweight non-alcoholic beer, but with the labels replaced and watched them get fake drunk (you wouldn't believe how well this worked)
3-Used a dry-erase maker and drew hairline cracks on my buddies tv
4-I'm actually kind of proud of this one. Rigged up a fake Nintendo with the guts of a plug and play pacman game and replaced my friends Nintendo with it. The look on his face when he popped in Mario Bros and Pacman came on the screen.
5-made a dvd with a loop of the infamous 360 firmware death screen and left it in a few systems (after setting them to autoplay)
6-An easy one for school, jammed chalk into the eraser so it writes on the board instead
7-Hack into my school network a had it where the shortcut for Oregon Trail brought up Wolfenstein 3D instead, on every computer in the school
8-flipped the speakers on a friends headphones inside out
9-set up a speaker in my window that I would use to play tire screeches when someone crossed the street without looking
10-hung a Halloween mask on a headboard so it would freak out my friend when they woke up
Whats bad is I could continue, but I fear you all may know too much already
