每個國家用不同的方式過愚人節。在法國，愚人節被稱作“April Fish”。法國人和他們的朋友是這樣開玩笑的：把一張裁成魚形的紙用膠帶粘到朋友的後背上，當有人發現的時候，他們就會喊：“Poisson d'Avril!”.
In England, tricks can be played only in the morning. If a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". In Scotland, April Fools Day is 48 hours long and you are called an "April Gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. The second day in Scotland's April Fool's is called Taily Day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. Taily Day's gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "Kick Me" sign.
在英國，只能在早上搞惡作劇。如果你被耍了，那你就是“麵條”。在蘇格蘭，愚人節要持續2天，被耍的人被稱為“四月布穀”。蘇格蘭第二天的愚人節叫做Taily Day，惡作劇主要在別人的屁股上做文章。
