Being the cynic that I am about AFD, none of the “jokes” worked with me. But I did find the Wikipedia one hilarious, even though it was quite obvious that everything on the site’s homepage was dubiously erroneous. Hilarity, although pretty obvious.

Yeah, ok. So they aren’t ‘Haha’ jokes, and aren’t as good as the moon being made of cheese like Google Maps did a few years back, or every link on the YouTube homepage being a Rick Roll.
