Lately it seems every day is April Fools Day in the world of advertising; so many ad campaigns are based around pranking ordinary people. Due to the success of YouTube viral videos, prank campaigns have become the latest rage among advertisers.

Let's close the case folks, because we've found the best video prank by far.

If you're anything like us, you probably have no idea what day it is. Well, it's Monday, April 1st. Yes, it's April Fool's Day, which means that Google is planning to pull the wool over our eyes all day long. Here are some of the pranks they're pulling, in case you are super-gullible...

Today's a day where you shouldn't trust anyone. Some people love the first day in April for that reason. It gives them a chance to prank someone and have an easy way out by saying it's April Fool's Day. If you want to join the fun, here are a few fun and easy things you can do.

You decide: are the guys in this video funny, gutsy or just plain weird, creepy and jerk-ish?

YouTuber RRyanLewis, whose favorite pastime seems to be dressing up as a plant and scaring people, is at it again. Here is his newest installment of the "Bushman" pranks.

It seems certain that last year stood as the Year of the Prank. With examples ranging from that terrifying zombie corpse to the ghostly little girl terrorizing elevator riders, we were rather nervous that 2013 wouldn't hold up. Luckily, thanks to this hoax pulled off at a beauty salon, there's still hope!

A pair of teachers (not pictured) at Roseland Public School in Ontario, Canada, pulled a mean prank on their students. They told the eighth-graders that their end-of-the-year school trip would be to Disney World. The next day, they announced that the trip would merely be to a bowling alley. Ha ha?

Milk does a prank good.

The best pranks are always the ones that involve plausible endings. A corpse jumping out of a casket in an elevator is probably not going to ever happen in real life (zombie apocalypse not withstanding). But getting lipstick on your collar can honestly happen innocently...

Guy Fieri has been having a tough time with his new restaurant, Guy's American Kitchen & Bar, which opened in New York's Times Square last November. First the eatery was savaged in a New York Times' review. And just when folks were starting to forget about that, Fieri has made an unforced error which is sure to subject him to another round of ridicule.

We've all been tempted to do this, have we not? Seeing the extensive list of salad topping choices on a menu is almost like telling someone not to look down from a ledge; we so badly want to! Sadly, we just can't seem to bring ourselves to spend $229.93 on a salad. However, thanks to this video from College Humor, we don't have to. They've done it for us.
