There were a lot of lame attempts at [April Fool's jokes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unicorn-toots), and some good ones. The Super Pii Pii, to me, qualifies as one of the great ones.

It's not hard to believe that somebody would build this [Wii spoof game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-classics-virtual-boy). Thinkgeek better get their legal team working on the papers for the Wii Pii Pii

**Implications** - Many consumers are welcoming [spoof products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/can-of-art), perhaps in part due to the humor they often provide (by simply being spoof product) and the fact that imitations are generally more affordable than originals. Regardless, there is a market for imitation goods that can provide as much functionality as the original without unnecessary frills or higher price tags.
