Tweet ideas · April Fools
A good April Fools tweet is believable for about three seconds. The joke works when it sits close to something your followers already expect from you, then tips over into the absurd. A wild claim from nowhere just reads as noise on a day when every feed is full of fake announcements.
Every tweet on this page is original, written for you to post or adapt. Square brackets mark the bits to fill in.
For brands, the safest jokes poke fun at yourself: your pricing, your roadmap, your support queue. Personal accounts do better with small, relatable confessions than with elaborate hoaxes. Below are 50 ideas, grouped by who is posting.
