Unbelievably Original April Fools’ Day Pranks That No One Has Ever Thought of Before, Ever

For those seeking truly original pranks, we’ve compiled an exclusive list of five shocking, groundbreaking hoaxes that are sure to leave your victims in absolute awe of your comedic genius.

1. The Classic “I Quit” Text to Your Boss

Because nothing says “innovative” quite like pretending you’re walking out on your job in this economy. Your boss will definitely not roll their eyes and mark you as “that guy” in HR’s files. Hilarious and completely unforeseen! What’s next? A fake resignation letter? Oh wait, that’s too original.

2. Swapping Sugar for Salt

No one has ever seen this one coming. Imagine the sheer horror on your victim’s face when they take a sip of their morning coffee, expecting sweetness but instead getting a salty surprise. If only there were centuries of recorded history where people had already done this exact same thing. But there aren’t! Groundbreaking!

3. The Fake Pregnancy Announcement

Nothing says “comedy” quite like temporarily confusing your friends and family about the miracle of life. Truly a fresh and unexpected approach that no one will see coming, especially on this particular day. Extra points if you follow it up with a fake ultrasound pulled straight from Google Images.

4. Plastic Wrap Over the Toilet Seat

Ah yes, the pinnacle of sophisticated humor: the timeless joy of watching someone fall victim to an invisible barrier between them and their dignity. If this prank had a copyright, it would be in the public domain by now. But since it totally doesn’t, you’re breaking new ground here!

5. Setting Every Clock in the House Forward by Two Hours

This is the perfect way to induce a full-blown panic attack before they realize the sun hasn’t even risen yet. Extra points if you do this to yourself by accident and end up showing up at work two hours early like a true prank champion!
