The Best April Fool's Ads Of 2016

April Fool's Day is prankers favorite day. Prankers long await the one day of the year they can unleash their best material on their victims. It leaves victims in fear of being pranked while turning every corner. Here are the prankers who absolutely shined this April Fool's Day.

Throwin' it back to the prehistoric days:

"Men, don't let your flow dictate your fashion."

What I love about this April Fool's Ad is it uses the platform and the prank to draw attention to a serious issue. 1.25 billion women do not have access to a toilet during their period.(WaterAid) WaterAid brought this issue to light in a way that is funny and accessible to the masses.

"Protect your home in case of a sudden move to another country."

Esurance created this incredible gem. Afraid of the potential outcome of the presidential election? No problem! Flee the country, Esurance has got you covered.

National Geographic vows to stop posting pictures of nude animals

Kars4Kids-Literally, "Give us a Car, We'll Give You a Kid!"

The Kars4Kids jingle usually causes me to change the radio station immediately in fear of getting the jingle stuck in my head for all of eternity. However, this ad is hilarious and helps bring Kars4Kids into the contemporary marketing world. Donate a car, you'll let a kid (whether you want one or not.)

Pranksters start formulating your next plot. Us victims are excitedly awaiting their arrival.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
