So, whilst thinking about April Fools day, I got to think about something that I'm sure has been done on a sitcom before.
Basically, the kids are planning an April Fools joke, but the parents overhear them and decide to one-up them with a joke of their own. So, the kids do their April Fools joke, but in the middle of it, the parents get into a huge fight over the kids' joke, thus pranking the kids who didn't know they were in on it.
I want to say that this has happened on Home Improvement or something, but other than that, has this ever happened on a sitcom? I'm sure it has because it's too obvious to never have been done, but I can't think of any examples.

This didn't happen exactly on Home Improvement, though they did do somewhat similar things with Halloween episodes, and when they pretended that Wilson got sick from Tim's cigars to get the kids to admit that they smoked them.

The closest I can think of is one that happened in "M*A*S*H". Potter pranks the staff by having a friend come in as a blood'n'thunder inspector, pushing the 'unprofessionalism' of the surgeons (and Hot Lips), to the point where they pull a prank on the inspector... who falls over with a heart attack... APRIL FOOL'S!

I wasn't done reading before that popped into my mind that they did something wicked similar. |

Jill and Tim helped Mark get back at them. I want to say it was a halloween episode. |

There was a Halloween episode doing something similar but there was an earlier one. First one, Brad and Randy trick Mark into thinking they're aliens and they're leaving on a spaceship that night. Tim and Jill trick them back with a strobe light and Iron Butterfly. The later one, Tim, Jill and Mark are planning to scare Brad and Randy on Halloween. Al unknowingly gives it away to them and they trick Tim, Jill and Mark back.

No, no, no. You're all wrong. It was a Halloween episode of Home Improvement.  |

I remember that they did something really similar on Full House. I found a video of it on YouTube.

There was something similar on the April Fools Day episode of "Mama's Family".
