"Fools in April" is the first segment of the 19th episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, and also the series' April Fools' Day episode.
==Plot==
SpongeBob wakes up on his favorite holiday, April Fools' Day, and kicks things off by pranking his snail, Gary, and then himself. Squidward, overhearing SpongeBob laughing as he's heading off to work, looks at the calendar. Upon seeing it's April Fools' Day, he calls Mr. Krabs saying he's sick ("I caught sight of the calendar!"). Mr. Krabs then tells him that there's an art dealer in his office who wants to sell Squidward's art. Squidward immediately rushes to his office, only to find that it was a prank from SpongeBob. Squidward then says he's quitting, but SpongeBob persuades him not to, saying he won't target him again today.
SpongeBob then proceeds to pull off all sorts of harmless pranks on the customers (and even his own tongue), and his laughs annoy Squidward. Fed up, Squidward decides to pull a prank on him. He gets a blob of mustard in the middle of a lasso on the floor. When SpongeBob goes to clean up the mustard, Squidward chops a nearby rope, which sends SpongeBob flying around the restaurant and into various objects and even another fish's bottom, all while getting seriously hurt, until he lands in a garbage can. Squidward laughs really hard at his co-worker's expense, but SpongeBob cries and run away. The customers aren't happy with Squidward after his "prank" and leave.
Feeling bad about what he did, Squidward attempts to apologize to SpongeBob, but finds he physically cannot say the word "sorry". He thinks of other ways to apologize to SpongeBob, but none of them work until he's driven to grovel and even say that he actually likes SpongeBob and everyone else. SpongeBob forgives him, but shows Squidward everyone in his house, revealing that this was an April Fool's Joke. Squidward laughs manically and runs all the way home, saying he was pulling off a prank as well.
