Note: hiddenVideos has a number of mildly nsfw videos. Turn off your speakers before clicking!

The first one I got just kept repeating "surprise mother f*er".

The full list of YouTube ids for the curious:

  videos = ['Prhzzqc0aFQ', 'UwB9m4FslO4', 'LH5ay10RTGY', 'DkQ83yLqpJE', 'T6j4f8cHBIM', 'kffacxfA7G4', 'RFzyYYZsxGc', 'v20jRHL492Y', 'Z8bpeeuHDOA', 'KHy7DGLTt8g', '_6-KspZegsE', 'l12Csc_lW0Q']

I don't enjoy April Fools. At one point people would come up with well-thought out and entertaining tricks. Now it's 99% annoying stuff that's not funny and not creative.

I don't see ponies. April 1 on the internet just isn't complete without them now.

Some funny stuff there though.

a donkey featured as the main animal. Well, I went to pet it and it head butted me, breaking my nose. However, it gave me the uncanny ability to accidentally hit submit too early.

Feel free to add a pull request! Personally, I've hated ponies, ever since I was a kid.

I tried running $.fool('rick') on fooljs.com and got an error:

> TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'append'

The other ones I tried worked, though! I really like this project.
