April Fools Prank 2024
In 2024, SJBB became a wanted person for Tomb Raiding! A wanted poster was planted on the SJBB HQ homepage, advertising a $50,000 reward for his capture, dead or alive! When a visitor clicked the image, they would be brought to the April Fools page. Luickly, SJBB wasn’t wanted but instead was a photo opportunity that can be taken within LEGOLAND Windsor, located by Pirate Falls.
April Fools Prank 2023
In 2023, SJBB released a new on ride POV of The Dinosaur Tour from Paulton’s Park onto the channel with advertising it as 4K. The video was not in 4K but actually in 144p which is YouTubes lowest video quality. A new POV was uploaded to the channel shorty after with the correct 4K quality for viewers to enjoy!
April Fools Prank 2022
In 2022, Unfortunately, nothing happened this year but to make up for it the exclusive video from the April Falls prank 2019 was re-released exclusively on the April Fools page on April 1st 2023. This allowed viewers to watch the video for the first time since 2019 that was originally a one day exclusive.
April Fools Prank 2021
In 2021, The SJBB HQ domain name (SJBB.co.uk) was redirecting guests to an old YouTube Channel named “THEBBVIDEO” which was co-owned by SJBB and another close friend back in 2010. This allowed users to explore and watch content from the retro days before the SJBBVideos Channel was created.
April Fools Prank 2020
In 2020, SJBB announced that a special 7 day upload event will happen with videos being released daily at 12:00PM GMT. On the 1st April the video was instead released at 12.00AM allowing viewers to access the video earlier than expected.
April Fools Prank 2019
In 2019, SJBBVideos released an update stating there will be no video due to taking some time off to celebrate “April” Fools day.

The hinted password was “April” and when users entered the password correctly they were treated to an exclusive recalled video that didn’t make it onto the SJBBVideos YouTube Channel.
April Fools Prank 2018
In 2018, SJBBVideos released a brand new design and layout change onto the SJBBVideos HQ homepage. SJBBVideos then released on social media updates advertising the new change. The design change wasn’t actually new but was a very old classic version of the SJBBVideos HQ.
April Fools Prank 2017
In 2017, SJBBVideos released a breakdown / E-STOP video from the “Derren Browns Ghost Train” but the video was actually from the old version of the ride and not from the re-themed “Rise Of The Demon” experience. Did you notice?
