The 2016 April Fools' Day season is remembered as one of the most chaotic periods in internet history, largely due to high-profile corporate pranks that went sideways. Most notably, Google introduced the 'Gmail Mic Drop' feature, which accidentally allowed users to send a Minion gif that muted email threads, leading to professional mishaps and public outcry. Simultaneously, Reddit launched 'Robin,' a social experiment that paired strangers in expanding chat rooms, creating a unique moment of community building. These events solidified 2016 as a peak year for digital pranks, with the resulting memes focusing on the fine line between a harmless joke and a technological disaster. Today, these templates are used to commemorate the anniversary or to mock poorly executed surprises.
