2019's Best Brand-Created April Fools Jokes, Ranked!
Ahem.
No. That headline was meant to be clickbait. We at The Takeout have exactly zero fucks to give for April Foolery. April Fool's Day is the absolute worst. It's a day when the actual funny people working for companies disappear and instead we get a bunch of hilarious pranks workshopped and A/B tested to the point they are neither hilarious nor pranks. Here's our list of the best worst brand-created April Fools jokes:
- McDonald's pissed off a bunch of Australians by announcing a "McPickle Burger" that doesn't actually exist. The gag isn't good. The fact that it made people mad is hilarious.
End of list.
Here are actual good things, just to repay you for your click on a list that is one-item long and stupid.
