The point of April Fool's day isn't to make a joke, it's literally to fool people. Sure, it should be funny once you realize it was a prank, but the goal should be to actually convince you.
It should make some kind of statement or call attention to some kind of issue, and the fact that people willingly believed your false report, by itself, should prove your point. That's the purpose.
But, of course, we live in a world where the minute you open your mouth, you're deemed responsible for other people's idiocy, so everyone's just making inane jokes.
