The clock has stuck noon, which means you can finally let your guard down regarding April Fools’ Day jokes and pranks. As usual, Calgarians had lots of fun with the spoof holiday, and even the Curiocity team got some gags in. (You didn’t really believe in Beaver Coast, the four-day work week, or Rodeo Skies, did you?)
Now that the chaos is over, it’s time to laugh at some of the best, most creative jokes posted online for April Fools’ Day.
No, the Calgary airport isn’t changing its name in honour of Tate McCrae. But it has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
Possibly the cutest April Fools’ Joke to come out of 2025. House Hippo, you’ll always exist in my heart.
This not-for-profit captures plenty of fascinating animals on their camera traps, but the elusive Bigfoot isn’t one of them. At least, not yet.
From the minds behind the wickless candle comes a new April Fools’ product. However, I’ve seen those Stanley Cup TikTok influencers use similar contraptions, so maybe this one isn’t too far-fetched.
The hot dog menu may be a joke, but commenters seem pretty into it. The Octo-Glizzy Mac & Cheese practically screams best-seller.
While it looks pretty atrocious, I think we all know a ketchup fanatic who would be willing to try the Toma-Tail.
This Calgary underwear company kept the pranks in-house by switching the boss’s Diet Coke with pickle juice and butterbeer. General warning: Only try this if you know your boss can take a joke.
The burger milkshake may be a farce, but it seems the Boogies team did actually make one for this post. This begs the question: Was there a soul brave enough to drink/eat it afterwards?
