Funniest April Fools Jokes For Your Spouse Or Boyfriend
My husband and I love to play funny, yet harmless, jokes on each other so we are a huge fan of this holiday. We have compiled a list of the funniest pranks we could find that aren’t mean or destructive, so everyone will enjoy a good laugh. Without further ado, here are some of the funniest April Fools jokes we came up with to play on your significant other:
April Fools Pranks To Play On Your Spouse At Home
Place Poppers Under The Toilet Seat – You know those little white “firecracker” type things that come in the cute little boxes? I bet you wouldn’t think they were so cute after sitting down for an explosive moment at the toilet. Simply place them on the rim of the toilet underneath the toilet seat so when they sit down, they get an explosive surprise!
Special Outfit – Tell your husband that you are headed to bed and that you are putting something “special” on for him. If he thinks what I think he might think, he won’t be too far behind you! Be hiding under the covers in footy pajamas, or something ridiculous that will have you both laughing for years to come.
Hidden Toilet Paper Roll Edge – Everyone hates it when you can’t seem to find the edge of the toilet paper when you need to use it. To make it next to impossible to find, spray it down with a little hairspray. Even if you’re able to find the edge, it’ll be so sticky you won’t want to use it. See the video above to see how we did it.
Drawer Switch – Move your husband or wife’s drawers around so that they can’t find what he is looking for in the morning!
Funny April Fools Food Pranks
Food – If you are going to do a food-related joke, I recommend doing it about midnight (so the very start of April Fool’s). That way they are NOT expecting it at all. This helped me gain a lot of enemies in college and some disgusted looks from my family. Here are a couple of my favorite food pranks to play on my spouse. If you’re not sure how to set these up, watch the video above and we’ll show you how to pull these pranks off flawlessly!
- Chocolate covered cotton balls – instead of a delicious treat, they will have cotton stringing from their teeth
- Toothpaste Oreo’s – replace the delicious filling with toothpaste. That split second it takes for their mind to register there’s something wrong with their favorite cookie is priceless!
- Healthy Cheetos – Replace the cheesy chips in their bag of Cheetos with a handful of baby carrots
Best April Fools Phone & Text Jokes
Put His Car Up For Sale – OK, this one is my ABSOLUTE favorite. I did this to my husband last year and he was getting calls all day. Post an ad on a local classifieds website with his car “for sale” and advertise it with a ridiculously low number. I was a little extra mean and took a picture of his car with a For Sale sign in the window and posted it on social media asking all my friends to call on it. 🙂
Mess With His Phone – Change his ringtone to something totally lame or obnoxious or promiscuous and then call him while he is at work. Or set random alerts/messages to go off all day.
Auto-Correct Madness – In Microsoft Word on their laptop, use the Auto correct feature to “correct” a commonly used word such as “the” by automatically inserting “April Fools’!” You can also do this with his iPhone by setting up a keyboard shortcut. (My husband actually did this for me a few months ago!) Every time I texted the word “and” it came up with “I have the best husband ever!” Not sure how to set this up on their phone, watch the video above to see how to do it.
Safe For Work April Fools Jokes
Car Switch – Find your husband or wife’s vehicle at work and then move it to another spot. Or, if he/she has keys to your car, switch out his for yours and then park it in another stall.
Put Googly Eyes On His Lunch – This one is totally harmless, but googly eyes always seem to bring a smile
Send a Message – Send him off to work with a loving little pat on the bum, and make sure to leave a fun sticker or note attached without him knowing. It could be something like “I have no clue this is here. Applaud every time you see me” or something random and silly that will have him wondering what’s going on.

I did chocolate covered “cake” pops a few years back on my teenagers, we had 4 in the house then. Only thing is the cake was actually brussel sprouts. It was Perfect. To make sure they all bit into them about the same time, I told them there was a prize for whoever finished their cake pop first.
That’s awesome! I would love to try that on my kids!
One time I short sheeted our bed! Take the flat sheet lay flat beginning at the pillow area, at the half way mark and fold it back to the pillow area instead of flat to foot area. He headed off to bed before me and couldn’t get his feet in! I was anticipating his confused comments so I stood in the hallway as he attempted to crawl into bed and I was laughing so hard I was crying!!
That is fantastic! I’m sure the confused look on his face was priceless!
My husband is a heavy sleeper. After he conked out in the recliner, we painted his toenails maroon. Didn’t notice until the shower the next morning!
I’m a scrapbooker so this is easy. Tell the family you made brownies for them to have while you’re gone. Bake the brownies, take them with you. Before you leave, cut the letter e from brown paper. Hence “brown-e’s”. Put the paper e’s on a plate and cover with foil. They won’t be happy with a plate of paper.
Change the language on his phone. Hasn’t he always wanted to learn Mandarin?
A few years ago my boyfriend woke me out of a dead sleep by grabbing me because he had a dream that a 3 foot black silhouetted witch was coming toward him from the doorway. I tease him frequently about it. This year I will be painting a styro-foam ball black, putting a witch hat on it and planting it on his side of the bed near his alarm clock.
When I was a teenager (years ago) I made cupcakes out of foam for insulation. It’s in a can at the hardware store. Spray in cupcake liners and let harden. Frost and decorate. My brother was so excited to eat one! That was my best joke ever for him.
Last year I did the oreos for my 4boys. The teenagers said “Really Mom? That is the oldest trick in the book.” My 3rd son caught on from the older boys and my 7yr old who is a munch mouth sweets freak took a bite and thought they were mint Oreos (his favorite) and quickly ate one and asked for another. Made me laugh!
Create a fake dating profile on a popular social dating website. Make sure you are able to remove the profile before you create it. Add his number and state “Call me to chat”. Or text. He’ll be getting random phone calls all day and text messages. Hahaha and you can set his profile to where it says that he is looking for male companionship. Lol I’m not against being gay or anything…but straight men get so uncomfortable when gay men hit on them. They don’t know what to do with themselves lol.
I had my friend help me with this. She was hanging out at our house and whwn she got ready to leave, told her to leave a note on his windshield stating sorry I hit your car and left my number on the note. He spent an hour outside looking for a dent or scratch on his car. Then once he called me of course I’m in the house laughing. I know its mean but at the same time it was funny because even though my cell phone number was registered in his. He never bothered to check the number before calling it.
I made chocolate pudding, and filled a diaper with it. When my husband got home for work, he jumped in the shower like he does every day. That was my chance to take our daughters diaper off, and place the pudding filled one next to her, which she immediately started playing in and eating. When he got out, I was finishing up dinner and asked him to get the baby to the table ….and followed him with my camera. The total disgust that was in his voice when he yelled for me will have me laughing the rest of my life 🙂
Ahahah That is a good one!
This one is so funny!
So good!!
Buy some $1 and $2 scratch offs and buy some of the fake scratch off tickets that are fake winners and put one in with a few real ones. They all look real and ur spouse will flip 😉 did this to my hubby and he was so halarious!
Have a pregnant friend pee on a pregnancy test. Save it in a baggy and “surprise” him! I did this two years ago when I had two babies back to back (14 mo apart), my husband about fainted when I showed him the stick with the positive sign for our third! I laughed so incredibly hard!!! Best joke that I ever played on him!
Place a piece of hard candy in the shower head so when he gets out he is all sticky head to toe and will get back in the shower. The candy will last 3-4 showers 🙂
