Friday is April Fools’ Day, the unofficial holiday that, most likely, you either love or hate. Of course, that probably depends on whether you have a lot of practical jokers in your life, and how far they're willing to go.

But however you pull them off, pranks can be a great way to show someone you love them. Whether it’s a military member turning their long-awaited homecoming into a memorable surprise, or an elaborate flash mob choreographed to catch a special someone off guard, the reactions are guaranteed to be great.

Humankind rounded up some of the sweetest prank videos we’ve ever covered.
