Not a great fool, but the Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged website has a Zorc & Pals theme, new Zorc & Pals full episode, and a supposed "Final Abridged Video Ever." Kinda okay effort, but at least it produced a funny video.
This isn't really an internet joke, but I didn't feel like making a new thread.
Just to be silly I just played a joke on my boyfriend. Since he doesn't have access to a computer at work, I call him during the day from time to time when I read news on Kotaku about stuff he could be interested in. He is also a big time fanboy for Final Fantasy VII, and frequently talks about how he hopes Squenix will redo FF7 with updated graphics and proclaims it will happen one day.
So I call him up and say, "Honey, guess what. So, I'm reading Kotaku and Squenix finally announced they have been working on redoing FF7 with up to date graphics and it will be released early next year!"
"OMG, REALLY? That's so awesome! I knew it! I knew it!"
"APRIL FOOL!"
(Silence) "That wasn't very nice at all, Rochelle."
"Hahahahaha, yes it was! I love you, bye!" (hang up the phone)
I actually got April fooled by quake live. It wasn't until I started reading the improvements that I realised it was a prank. Granted, it didn't last for more than half a second but I actually thought that there was an update.
Think Geek has a pretty good showing for today - and even some actual merchandise. If you spend $15, you get this shirt free (or you can just buy it straight up), immortalizing Ken Jennings' now-famous "I for one welcome our new computer overlords," plus some pretty funny other "new" products. Off to a good start, I'd say.

Actually, those De-cinema 3d glasses would be a good actual product - Not hard to do, either, you just have both lenses polarized in the same way, rather than having oppositely circular polarization.

Yeah, I was thinking exactly this. I think you could actually sell it to some of these anti-3D people (who apparently don't realize that you can just go to the 2D theater instead, given how much they whine about it).

I agree - some of these "joke" products are actually pretty cool. Thankfully, there's a section where you can check which ones you'd actually like to see up for sale (if you try to actually buy one you'll be sent there). I checked that and the lightsaber popsicles (why did no one think of this sooner?), and I think something else, but it escapes me at the moment. Still, good show, Think Geek.

Weregeeks "comic".
Weregeek actually pissed me off. I love that comic!
EDIT: I really want this from ThinkGeek.

Also, I love the Lightsaber zipper on that sleeping bag...
