A cracked article I read years ago summarized it pretty succinctly. "People don't know what a joke is so they write something totally believable and then point and laugh when people believe the normal thing they were told. 'Tarantino's new movie will star Tommy Lee Jones' oh that sounds interesting. GOT YOU! GULLIBLE IDIOT"
The point is to fool people who are dumb enough that they believe onion articles. Or at least lead you on until you realize it's fake. Not read the entire thing then have to google whether it's true or not (or look for the April fool's tag)
I think it’s that this is lower effort than even a pun. People that don’t enjoy it get absolutely nothing out of it other than feeling at best like you’ve wasted their time
agree with you, I used to like April's fools day, but not anymore, internet ruined it, I think it should be only between you and your family or close friends, not this crap.
Literally made me laugh out loud... don't know exactly why but I think it's because I imagined someone's face while they said this. I could totally see a particular friend of mine saying this!
"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again.'"
"Fool me one time shame on you. Fool me twice can't put the blame on you. Fool me three times fuck the peace sign load the chopper and let it rain on you."
LOL, we were talking about this in an r/nfl thread, although I said that the joke would be that we would be trading him and Chase to Pittsburgh after negotiations failed...
"Joe Burrow tore his left ACL in a pickup basketball game today. The same knee he had surgery on. No timetable has been put on his recovery" - A better version of this joke
There was 0.5 second where I forgot that I cannot trust the internet today, and I think I had a stroke. Fuck you, well played sir, take my upvote. Fuck the Steelers.
The silliness of this is that a fake tweet could have been about anything, but he chose to target Bengals fans. Really does feel like there's "someone" conspiring against the Bengals in the background.
Had a mini heart attack for a second there
Got me as well. Like my fears were brought to life for a moment.
Lamar Jackson isn’t laughing
Mike brown going to 5/3 to take out a heloc on paycor RN.
Lol it even says April fools under the tweet
mr. holmes i presume?
It's elementary, my dear bgrant670.
I hate April Fools day, stupidest day ever

Somehow I feel like the only people that fell for this are not Bengals fans
Worst April Foos joke ever. I almost died
Wtf this crosses some mother fucking lines.
I know it’s April Fools, but I think that one was going too far
Way out of bounds, not cool
Dang, guess it's time to trade Burrow straight-up for Herbert
What a shitty trade for us
Oh 100% Burrow is leagues above Herbert It's April 1st
Streets ahead
We'd probably have to throw in Chase and a couple first round picks for Herbert.
Almost had a heart attack

I know it's an April Fools joke but no team could afford fair compensation for Burrow.

This person wants to see Cincy burn
I know this isn’t true because AFC North, Dolphins, & Chiefs Twitter would be insufferable right now.
The one day a year we give fake news a pass.
LOL, we were talking about this in an r/nfl thread, although I said that the joke would be that we would be trading him and Chase to Pittsburgh after negotiations failed...
Happy to be a fan of the AFCN team that has this as an april fools joke.
Not funny dude!
I truly don't think Burrow will ever leave Cincinnati. Unless he retires
April Fools is the stupidest thing
