Hot Press' list of the internet’s best April Fool’s Jokes of 2016
Every year, companies vie for the unofficial honor of having the best April Fool’s prank—today we look at the competition.
Google starts out the list with a controversial Gmail prank; the prank involves users accidentally pressing a send button that adds a gif of a minion dropping a mic.
Unfortunately, this button was used in place of the send and archive function and caused users to use it by accident; one user even got fired. Needless to say, Google archived this prank about as quickly as it started.
Youtube introduced the more hilarious and ridiculous, Snoopavision. Using Snoopavision, you can watch a playlist of Youtube videos in 360° with Snoop Dogg.
Netflix approached April Fool's from a simpler standpoint, so simple you might not even notice it. They replaced their typical suggestion formats with: "Continue watching with John Stamos" "Watch it Again Because John Stamos Thinks You Should" "Dramas that make John Stamos feel emotions" and much more.
