They already listed the google maps one here in the forums.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
Don't forget Google Chrome Multitask.
Also, AdBlock is replacing web ads with pictures of cats.
And ThinkGeek has several amazing new products (some of which might actually get made).
Also, a father destroys Omicron Ceti with a hand-held laser so his daughter can sleep.

That technomancer hoodie would be awesome.
YouTube has given videos a DVD-style menu.

DANG IT! Here I am out of town on a fiend's computer so I'll be missing that. Any chance we can set it to do that year round?

BTW, if you go on Google Maps "Quest", do look up the GooglePlex in Mountain View...
Also from Google: the autonomous NASCAR!

EDIT... Also, I actually really, really want the Technomancer hoodie from ThinkGeek. It suits my dancing style perfectly. Big fish, little fish, COSMIC WARP!
EDIT OF EDIT: ...this. This is still almost as good as the Death Star Canteen sketch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsQxpQyoZrY
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Reddit timeline feature
I wouldn't say there was any really good ones at all. Since it's the internet and it's April the 1st; everything I see there is under automatic disblief until it's repeated on April the 2nd.
For example the best April Fools last year was the announcement of the Daily Sport (UK trash daily newspaper) going bankrupt and stopping circulation only to find it actually DID.
The googlemaps 8-bit was pretty cool to use but not really believable. Even Paragon Studios couldn't top the "Visual SFX" one from several years ago (although a custom powerset for US$9,400 I kinda hope is real enough so when I have that kinda money I can force them to make Clown Summoning 
).

Does anyone know if April Fool's jokes from other MMO are against the rules?
The Old Republic announced the Ship Droid System for their next major patch. Now you can interact with the crew, repair the ship, cook meals for the crew, and other exciting tasks that only droids have the stomach for.
The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

That's a good one. |

Massively showed cleaning ship windows, from the outside, in space.
They have a list of links to a few AF pranks done by MMOs, including ours.
As for best joke, Foxtrot.

Well done Mr. Amend.

Reminds me of a AFD joke pulled on the BattleTech and Shadowrun communities a few years back.
Then we wound up turning it into a "real" product.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

That was supposed to be an April Fool's joke? Suffering through hours of bad television at work... and DBZ?!

So, it's that special time of the year, when we all get a little silly, including the big companies and websites.
Thought it might be good if we listed the ones we see here for all to enjoy!
Anyone seen any good ones yet?
