Hi, I'm Johhny Knoxville and Welcome to Jackass.
number one is actually just a dramatic reading that way too many people believed. never meant to be a prank.
Number 1. When my Dad told me he was going out to buy milk
The best joke here is this channel
I think if you do your research properly, HSV is channel 7 in Melbourne, Victoria in Australia, not the BBC. The Grampians as mentioned in the video are in the Victorian highlands, Not Switzerland. There was certainly a BBC version of it. This just wasn't it.
Don't forget Donald trump said he's a good person
The BBC is fake news! #shocking
How about the Pre-Pokemon Go beta test (AFD 2014) prank? That had me PISSED!!!
Wouldn't smell-o-vision be called tell-o-smell?
I really hope number one is this channel
Confirm WatchMojo uses Retard Units Measurements
I wish I could comment on the ads
what about Google smell? it was made when I was 10 I believed it
oh my god! The 4th one!
If the instant color tv from sweden 1962 isn't on this list you should've done a better reseasrch job.
I always liked the old Guinness free instant pint advert in the papers back in the 1970s
Trump for president is probably the best prank ever pulled
#1: adult swims prank last night with samurai jack
If smell-o-vision was real, I would watch the food network the whole day
What about stealing a cop car and plowing down over 100 people before saying that it was just a prank?
Sweden! 😀
What the Netflix prank where they put the new episodes sign on fire fly
When ever I see hockey I think of vanoss
The secret Shen Long boss from Street Fighter 2 anyone?
"Caffeine addict can't survive the".
Challenge accepted.
The war of the worlds broadcast was an advertisement for a book, not a prank.
Ed Boons Injustice 2 joke's
I live near Lake Norman NC and there's a newspaper article released last year saying that they were going to drain the lake for real estate (I think). They did it again saying that they were going to build more roads and needed to drain parts of Lake Norman to do so. They also had an article about Trump changing the currency to China's currency. On the next page they had an article named "This Was Fake News and We Admit It"
No Sidd Finch?

Good list, but… No South Park's April Fools joke? No Toy-Yoda joke? No political prisoners to be released joke? No Playboy's "how to beat your wife" joke? AND no Lala Land winning Best Picture? (just kidding).
I would think rotating it 180 would just make the sandwich backwards, 90 degrees would make much more sense imo.
I FUCKING hate jokes! !!!!!!
I sat here like "no way there leaving the radio thing out from the 40's" and then boom there it is
Norway has a good one, cause here you can only buy booze and wine in certain stores. So on 1st of April Norwegian National Radio told that the store would throw out liquor that had went past its use date. People came with buckets all over Norway hoping for some free liquor 😀 hahaha
What about Reagan telling the country that he just signed a Defcon 1 order to launch nukes, and the camera was really rolling?
Joke bullets anybody?
What about how the New York Jets pranking their fans into thinking that they are a real team every year?
How could you have omitted Sports Illustrated's "piece" on Sidd Finch?
they should have by now filmed award winning classic about Welles and that day!
where's the Sum Ting Wong prank?
Wait .. did people not realize about the absurdity of the hamburger one?
Damn.
I'm glad you decided to include the colour tv hoax. It's a well known tale here in Sweden still, and something my mum (who was just a kid when it happened) still tell us from time to time.
war of the world was broadcast on Sunday, October 30, 1938 not the 1st of April
Listeners didny panic during war or the worlds. That is a myth created by papers at the time.
The number 1 is not a prank, they just red his book, and people being stupid believed it is a broadcast and started to panic.
