Let's summarize and see what extremely serious things have happened in the world since the previous April Fool's Day.

A monkey in a coat visited an IKEA store in Toronto.

Macaque at IKEA

A monkey in a coat visited an IKEA store in Toronto. Astonished buyers took many photos. As it turned out later, the animal escaped from the owner's car. The news quickly spread on social networks (and the monkey itself got a Twitter account).

Psy and the invisible horse

In July 2012, a Korean rapper named Psy posted a video for the song Gangnam style on Youtube. "Gangnam Style" is a Korean expression for the luxurious lifestyle of the affluent Gangnam district of Seoul. In December 2012, the clip became the first video on Youtube to reach a billion impressions.

The song is dedicated to "the ideal girl who knows when to be sophisticated and when wild."

Opa Dzhigurda

In December, Nikita Dzhigurda made his own video for the song Gangnam Style, dancing on Red Square. The combination of dancing in a skirt (kilt) and the bard's trademark growl turned out to be psychedelic. The video immediately became a hit on the Russian segment of the Internet.

Harlem Shake

In February 2013 dances in the style of "gangnam" became irrelevant. Now everyone is dancing the Harlem Shake. The video, filmed by teenagers suffering from boredom, has collected about 2.5 million views in the first week after downloading.

Immediately after, hundreds of imitations appeared on the Internet. A month ago, Fox released a video of the characters from the TV series "The Simpsons" dancing Harlem shake at the family couch.

In Russia, the harlem shayk has already been danced publicly, in particular, by Ivan Urgant.

Angry cat

Nowadays grumpy cat photos are very popular.

In September, a certain Cataliades posted a photo of his pet to a blog on the Reddit platform. A cat named Tardar Sauce has an unforgettable appearance. At first, no one believed that the photographs had not been processed in Photoshop. To prove that Tardar really always looks very unhappy, the owners had to upload a video of her to Youtube. Nowadays grumpy cat photos are very popular.

Fluffy jesus

The image immediately became the new Internet meme.

In August 2012, the Spanish edition of the Heraldo reported on how an 80-year-old pensioner from Borja restored a 19th century fresco called Ecce Homo (Behold the Man) by the artist Elias García Martinez. The fresco was deteriorating from moisture, and this worried the devout woman. She decided to personally fix everything. As a result, Jesus in the picture turned into something like a hairy monkey. The image immediately became the new Internet meme.

Are you planning to prank anyone today?

	Yes.
	No.

Angelinajoling

The actress came to the Oscar-2012 in a spectacular black dress with a cutout. She posed for photographers, exposing her leg to the neckline. And for some reason she did not change her position. Never.

They immediately began to parody her, calling this occupation "angelinajoling".

Shame the dog

Blogs posting pictures of dogs and cats with shameful "confessions" have become especially popular this year. The phenomenon is called dogshaming.

I like it better when there are patterns on the sheets.

I steal socks. And I eat them.

I love jumping on tables … But I'm afraid to jump off them.

I bit a hole in the back of my mom's favorite jeans. When they were on it

I drink water from the toilet … Even if my dad didn't let him down
