LOOK, WE CAN’T all be hilarious. But April Fools’ Day puts a certain amount of pressure on people to provide some laughs.
There have been some great efforts around the globe – but, as is to be expected, there were a few duds. More than a few, to be honest.
This complete let down from KISS FM in the UK
Yeah, they didn’t even try.
Marmite’s sick-making gag
No. Stop. NOOOO.
And Walkers’ “self-seasoning potatoes”
So are people supposed to buy and plant the potatoes? You can’t just half-do the joke, Walkers.
The BBC’s ‘job listing’
IT COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT. BUT IT WASN’T. IT REALLY WASN’T.
This terrible, terrible tie in with an upcoming movie release
Hollywood actor, Patrick Wilson, star of black comedy Let’s Kill Ward’s Wife, was today accused of murdering his best friend’s wife. Rather disturbingly, this shocking event has chilling echoes of Wilson’s most recent film Let’s Kill Ward’s wife, set to be released in the UK on DVD on April 13.
Has anyone asked Patrick Wilson how he feels about this? Anyone?
This ‘flavoured car’ from Fiat
We really hope they didn’t spend too much time on this one.
US politician Newt Gingrich tweeting, then subsequently explaining, his joke
Oh, and then he tweeted it again later, in case his followers missed how hilarious he was:
Homebase’s rainbow paint
Sigh.
And Sam Smith’s complete lack of effort
Sam. Sam, Sam, Sam. SAM.
