Google cancels April Fools

For the second year in a row, Google has canceled April Fools.

Business Insider has obtained an internal email stating that Google will not create a series of elaborate and occasionally entertaining April Fools pranks this year. Google confirmed the memo to Business Insider, and to us, too.

“In 2020, we made the decision to pause our longstanding Google tradition of celebrating April Fools’ Day, out of respect for all those fighting COVID-19. With much of the world still grappling with serious challenges, we will again pause the jokes for April Fools’ Day in 2021,” reads a statement.

Everything is depressing. That's why no one should have fun.

 

[Idonttrustlikethat]

Probably difficult to know what with the types employed by google.

 

[Scolopendra Dramatica]

Bullshiiiiiiit! You forgot, didn't you Google?

 

[The Last Stand]

Joke's on them, Google is already a joke at this point.

Besides, people grieving don't deserve to laugh.

I'm okay with this. People dont know how to do funny pranks anymore. "Hello, Mr. Johnson? Your kid was run over by a truck. His brains are splattered all over the road... haha aprils fool!... hey, why are you crying, it was just a prank, bro"

April Fools jokes when done by corporations are always cringey and shit anyway.

Yeah, I'd rather the fine hominids at Google, and Alphabet writ large for that matter, not go around pretending that they're "people" or "human".

 

[Death Grip]

Around 150,000 people die every day of every year, so does that mean we should never have fun? Perpetual mourning will become our state of being.

NO FUN NO FUN ONLY WORK GET BACK TO WORK!!

NO YOU CAN'T WORK BECAUSE WORKING IS VIOLENCE TOWARD THOSE WORRIED ABOUT COVID STAY HOME EAT BUGS!!

 

[Coolio55]

Remember when they sent mic drop minions to grieving families? Fucking good times.

 

[Darksy DePhil]

Google and other internet giants are the peak example of neutered normalfag-friendly harmless safety at the cost of anything fun. So it's no wonder they'd turn their back on April Fools to not offend anyone.

 

[CaesarCzech]

mhhhh

 

[Positron]

Nah I still see their April Fools joke:

I hope April Fools cancel Google.

 

[Vyse Inglebard]

Google:

Remember when they made a playable version of Pac Man in the shape of their logo?

 

[Quijibo69]

Google is already a joke.

 

[Journoscum]

I hate brands doing April Fool's shit, so even if this is virtue signaling nonsense I don't care. Based. The only time Google will ever be called that.

Only good brand April Fool's shit was EGM fakes back in the day. Maybe Blizzard shit before they went down the shitter.

 

[Eternal Gopnik]

Humor is problematic and sexist and racist, sweaty. Now eat your mosquito burger.

Sure but the brands trying to deviate from HOT BUTTON ISSUE into ANOTHER HOT BUTTON ISSUE to GARNER LIKES in SOCIAL MEDIA SITE are usually even worse.
