Celebrities and Brand Accounts Celebrate April Fools’ Day: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

April Fools’ Day is a time for jokes and pranks, and this year was no exception. Celebrities and brand accounts took to the internet to pull off some hilarious (and not-so-hilarious) pranks. Let’s take a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly jokes that stood out this year.

In the “Good” category, we have some standout pranks that really hit the mark. From Rick and Morty’s hilarious “Rick and Morty Babies” video to the attention-grabbing Space Jam trailer drop, these jokes were engaging and well-executed. Leah Remini’s quick-witted Instagram post also deserves a mention for its comedic timing.

Moving on to the “Bad” jokes, we have a few that missed the mark. Bianca Del Rio’s fake announcement about an All Stars season left fans disappointed, while the Crocodile Hunter’s granddaughter’s croc encounter could have been better with a sponsorship tie-in. And let’s not forget the Cat-toon Network video, which fell flat with its tired cat jokes.

Finally, in the “Ugly” category, we have some pranks that crossed the line. Michael Strahan’s fake gap closure announcement left fans feeling misled, while Tori Spelling’s fake pregnancy announcement was in poor taste. DJ Quik’s hospital scare prank was particularly troubling, considering the timing of April Fools’ Day and the anniversary of Nipsey Hussle’s murder.

Overall, this year’s April Fools’ Day brought a mix of laughs, eye-rolls, and cringes. While some jokes were well-received, others missed the mark or were downright insensitive. Here’s hoping for better pranks next year!
