Not all jokes are equivalent, and April Fools' Day is specifically about jokes that would be considered both unfunny and unacceptably disruptive at any other time of year. That's why they get relegated to a single day - if they were actually good jokes then they could be performed at any time. If a joke isn't intended to be good, maybe it shouldn't be performed at all.
