Today is April Fools' Day and since last year's was definitely tame because of the pandemic, do people have prank energy built up that they're ready to release today?

A new survey from YouGov asked people if they think April Fools pranks are funny or annoying and people are actually pretty split.


Overall, 45% of people say they're "more amusing" and 47% say they're "more annoying."  The only age group where more people say they're funny than annoying is people under 30.

The survey also found 59% of people say they don't like when someone pulls pranks on them, but 46% of people like playing pranks on other people.

And one more thing from YouGov: 43% of people say they usually don't like it when companies pull their corporate-approved April Fools pranks. 35% of people say they usually like those.
