They're all a bit limp because April Fools' Day is on the same date every year and they get too long to think about it. In the future the date will be generated at random by a global network of giant supercomputers, and announced in retrospect.
They've been trialling it for a couple of years, but still need to work out some bugs. For example, it announced two April Fools' Days for 2016, June 23rd and November 8th.
