2018 - Toonami Airs Subs Rather Than Dubs - Simple, but confusing in the best possible way. A nice treat after several years of pranks that felt like Adult Swim were trying a little too hard.
2009 - Adult Swim Replaces The Night's Lineup With The Room - Classic bad movie excellence!
2004 - Shows Had Random Mustaches Drawn On The Characters - Sure, it is simple and juvenile, but there is something so wonderfully pure about this prank. It was cool seeing a network playing a silly game we played as kids as an official thing.
2007 - Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theater Shown In The Corner Of The Screen - Peak troll humor! At The Time, It Was So Cool To See A Network Go Out Of Its Way To Anger The Audience, Even If It Meant Throwing Away Good Ratings.
2014 - Space Ghost: Coast To Coast Anniversary - It was super cool to see the Space Ghost guys again! Plus, seeing the full 30-minute version of Fire Ant on TV is always a treat.
2012 - Toonami Returns! - I had to include this one, right? (While this was fun, I'll admit I tend to prefer Adult Swim's more meta pranks. While it was cool seeing TOM again, this was mostly a collection of reruns)
White text on a black background saying "Ranking My Favourite Adult Swim April Fools Stunts"

Image from Rugrats of the Mom walking in on the Dad making pudding. The text reads: "It's 4 o'clock in the morning...why on earth are you scheduling podcast content? Because I've lost control of my life."
