My favorite for April Fools Day 2013 was the Google introduction of Google Nose. Just call it somniferous. Search for smells with Google’s new scentified database. What does a new car smell like? Ask Google Nose.

Scroll below that for a list of some of my all time favorite Google April Fools videos.

Overall, my personal Google April Fools video of the last few years was called Google Fiber. No, not the high-speed Internet access project in Kansas City. The fiber bar. As in: You eat it.

The April Fools Google Fiber Bar gag is below. Of all the Google April Fools videos, this is my fave. Google used the gag on April 1, 2012.

No Google April Fools Day video round up would be complete without a mention of this notorious Google gag, released a day before April Fools Day last year. Remember? It’s a new way to enter day when you’re mobile. A two button, Morse Code based virtual keyboard. Introducing Gmail Tap.

Google last year announced on March 31, 2012 that it would make Google Maps available for 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment Systems (NES). “Try it on your browser by going to http://maps.google.com and clicking Quest in the upper right hand corner of the map,” the mock release said.

Slatester spotted this Google April Fools video first — back in 2011. It had me going. And it still is funny. Gmail Motion. OMGLOL and all that jazz. This thing should get an award or something.
