What can creators make or do to celebrate April Fool's Day? Tell us for $3!

The main one I most often see, and the ones I often do myself, are just videos that promise to change up whatever the status quo of the channel is in one way or another, something that promises to be a new direction for the channel in some way. Whilst sort of formulaic at this point, it's a premise that still works and if executed well enough it can very easily be seen as sincere and actually real, which is the fun part.

As creators, being able to make a joke seem as realistic as possible is always half the fun, seeing how far you can go, even when on a tight budget for the actual joke.

I'm all for April fools jokes, but they have to be done well, and can't be to the detriment of a person. All that aside... this year I did nothing! - however things like changing a font or colour format on a website, or breaking links can be quite funny! I must get my thinking hat on for next year so will review what mischief people have gotten up to this year! :D

For April Fool's Day, content creators can indulge in some light-hearted fun without crossing any lines. A great example is from a past April Fool's Day, where I reviewed an IKEA birch stool as if it were a high-end gaming chair. I applied my usual review methodology, discussing ergonomics, sitting techniques for long gaming sessions, and even sizing advice.

The whole thing was presented seriously, yet the absurdity of comparing a simple stool to a gaming chair created a humorous effect. The key is to provide content that's true and well-researched, but with a twist that fits the spirit of April Fool's Day. This approach ensures that the content is entertaining and harmless, aligning perfectly with the essence of the day.

Attempting last-minute April Fool's pranks without careful planning can lead to unintended consequences. Instead, consider using the day to announce long-awaited or highly requested news. This builds anticipation and speculation within the community, as people wonder if the announcement is genuine. While some may initially dismiss it as a joke, the surprise of it being true adds excitement and intrigue. By leveraging existing plans or fulfilling community desires, creators can avoid the risks associated with hasty pranks and create positive experiences on April Fool's Day.

I’m putting up a video “In Defense of the Alone In the Dark Movie” which is just utter Uwe Boll game-movie trash. Basically immediately I’m saying it’s a joke and then I’m going to talk about the wildest scenes and endless plot holes. Just a fun rant.

For context, Alone In the Dark currently sits at 1% on Rotten Tomatoes lol
