The only person laughing is usually the person who made the joke and it’s generally just irritating to everyone else who just wants to get on with their day. I might feel differently if we like, got the day off work for April Fools Day I guess

    I disagree.

    If a prank goes out of its way to humiliate a person it’s not a joke. If that same person gets pranked every year in a way that is not fun for them they have a right to say I’m not a fan of this shit. They have a right to dislike it without a person responding “wow you’re no fun.”

    This is unpopular opinions, and y’all getting on OP about how they are no fun because they don’t like “pranks” being pulled on them.

        Read the original post again and try harder. YOU are defending bad pranks by making your comparison.

        What the post is describing ARE bad pranks. If everyone is irritated and no one is laughing other than the person doing the prank, IS a bad prank. Reading the post about bad pranks and jumping all the way to “Better trash the while idea of jokes. Same energy” seems to show how much you are missing and your apathy.

          Nope. Your reading comprehension skills really suck. I’m not having this fight with you. You’re reading comprehension skills are so bad you’re not even arguing with me. I didn’t say ANY of those things. That’s all you.

      Bro, there are good pranks, and there are bad pranks. You sound as if all pranks nowadays are bad. They aren’t. Start visiting different content feeds.

        I completely agree there are good pranks. I am just disagreeing with people getting on OP for saying they don’t like it when they are pranked because their experience has been essentially humiliation.

        Even though your humiliated someone tried to have fun with you, so you should smile anyway is how it comes off.
