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

    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.
