If April Fools Day is around the corner, then you’ll need to update your repertoire of pranks with a new set of April Fools Day jokes. Fortunately, none of these funny April Fools Day jokes take much time or money. If your friends and co-workers have a good sense of humor, you’ll want to try at least one of these April Fools Day jokes this April. 

  1. Sink Spray in the Face. An early morning spray of water in the face will wake up your sleepy spouse this April Fools Day. Using invisible tape, tape the spray handle of your sink’s spray feature down. When the facet is turned on the water will douse her before she has time to realize what's going on.  
  2. Switched liquid. Have a friend who only drinks regular soda? Switch his regular soda with the same brand of diet, and watch his face change as he spits out those artificial sweeteners. You could do this with any type of liquid. Milk in the orange juice carton and orange juice in the milk carton work well.
  3. Broken toilet. Nothing is funnier then listening to a co-worker panic when he realizes that he is peeing all over the floor. Tightly cover the toilet bowl with some plastic wrap, put the seat down, and wait for the scream. Hint: you might want to try this April Fools Day joke somewhere, where you won’t have to clean up the aftermath.
  4. Switched lunch. Swap your co-workers’ lunch contents in the staff fridge. Put all of Mark’s lunch in Suzy’s lunch box and Suzy’s lunch in Mark’s lunchbox. Better yet, add something that smells strange or is embarrassing. They’ll know right away that they didn’t pack fish head for lunch, “April Fools!”.
  5. Fart phone. Wait until your friend or office mate unknowingly leaves his blackberry alone on his desk for a few minutes. While he runs to the restroom, change his ringtone to a fart noise. Stick his phone back on his desk and wait for someone to call. If no one calls for a few minutes, pretend to check your e-mail while you dial his number. This April Fools Day joke is particularly funny if his boss or new girlfriend is around to see him turn red.
