I don't see ponies. April 1 on the internet just isn't complete without them now.

Some funny stuff there though.

Feel free to add a pull request! Personally, I've hated ponies, ever since I was a kid.

I was young, around 4 or 23, and at a petting zoo. I used to love watching Tots TV, which had

a donkey featured as the main animal. Well, I went to pet it and it head butted me, breaking my nose. However, it gave me the uncanny ability to accidentally hit submit too early.

I tried running $.fool('rick') on fooljs.com and got an error:

> TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'append'

The other ones I tried worked, though! I really like this project.

Well, that was highly inappropriate and I should have known better that to follow through on this link. I'm in a family-friendly cafe with my speakers wide open. Never have I received such glares from parents with young children. April fools on me, indeed. Well done.

What on earth was so inappropriate?

marquis2• 14 years ago

I was trying to impress humour with my point. There was profanity by clicking one of the options, and along with a pop-up dialogue blocking the window-close button it was highly audible in front of some parents with children.

I don't enjoy April Fools. At one point people would come up with well-thought out and entertaining tricks. Now it's 99% annoying stuff that's not funny and not creative.

Sorry to be a kill-joy but this plugin looks like it would be used by the 99%. An example of a good "fool" would be unixkcd.

Inspired by you I wanted to reexpierence it. Brought me to http://wiki.xkcd.com which is upside down. Annoying! Nothing else.

Note: hiddenVideos has a number of mildly nsfw videos. Turn off your speakers before clicking!

The first one I got just kept repeating "surprise mother f*er".

The full list of YouTube ids for the curious:

  videos = ['Prhzzqc0aFQ', 'UwB9m4FslO4', 'LH5ay10RTGY', 'DkQ83yLqpJE', 'T6j4f8cHBIM', 'kffacxfA7G4', 'RFzyYYZsxGc', 'v20jRHL492Y', 'Z8bpeeuHDOA', 'KHy7DGLTt8g', '_6-KspZegsE', 'l12Csc_lW0Q']

Hm, that Dexter one shouldn't be there.
