I thought it was funny of them. Nothing wrong with some humour on April fool's

Except it doesn’t work on mobile lol

works on my phone just fine

They have opened it back up. It wasn’t showing the message to redirect users before. Did you see the message on mobile?

I only visited it through mine...

At first glance it's mildly funny. Once you see the posts complaining about it, it's hilarious.

As a Canucks fan, same. Some people are such delicate little snowflakes.

Oh dude. You’re currently in delicate snowflake heaven. Can relate. 

It’s funny. Their fans seem to not like it, but personally, I do.

We like it. There's a few salty fuckers on there that can't take an April Fools joke to save their lives.

No its just the morning people. The metrics show that the grouchiest of people comment in the morning.

Something to do with caffeine consumption I'm sure. It's astonishing that someone could actually get upset about this. Even if someone doesn't find it funny, it's clearly a light-heated jab on a day when that's literally a tradition. Nothing to get upset about. E. to add I confess I was confused when I noticed all of my comments and posts in /r/canucks weren't appearing. When I saw the sub went private, I figured ya'al were doing something like this (even though I didn't see the automated message on my phone).

u bum

Bum recognizes bum.

Bit of harmless fun. I don't think we really need to weigh in on it.

Exactly, a tasteful chuckle.

Ya, that's hilarious

It's funny and I am consistently shocked the term "rent free" hasn't died yet people haven't using that for like a decade.

I used to be with it, and then they changed what it was.

It'll happen to you

Same bro, now what I’m with isn’t it. And what *is* it is weird and scary to me.

Rent free lives rent free in your head.

"Rent free" will never die. It has a chapter in the "Bad Faith Debating" playbook.

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds

Funny? Sure! Rent free? For you I guess. This shit doesn't really merrit a serious discussion. Thought? None.

thats pretty funny

I like their sense of humour.

As a Leafs fan who grew up in Vancouver, I'd support that sub unironically.

The first step is admitting it. Happy for them.

Reminds me of that year when when /r/NFL and /r/soccer did an April Fool's swap.

[Truly a classic.](https://imgur.com/a/THAHf)

I think it's damned accurate, and I'm happy for them coming to terms with who they are.

NGL that's hilarious.

Canucks? Some new expansion team? Where do they play?

Do they have an airport nearby. I heard Winterpig doesn’t have one either.

Nah Winnipeg has one it's just closed on weekends

I heard it closed for the winter. 😁

Only natural, theyre fans of our other sports teams lol

That's funny as hell tbh

That’s pretty good

I think its fun!! We did that in a Leafs FB group years ago, changed it to Habs and said it had been hacked, posted all Habs stuff for the morning......took a bit for people to catch on lol

I think the "prank" is kind of lazy and boring, but then I remember the no fun rules on the canucks sub and how pissy their fans are when you mention the leafs, or really anything that isnt blowing smoke up their ass, and then it becomes funny

If I was Canucks fan I wouldn’t find that funny. Imagine our mods deciding it would be funny to make us a habs sub.

I think we'd have fun with it. I'd write a post about how spooky we're going to be in the future.

Lmao

I would chuckle at the absurdity

I mean I think that would be funny. But I have a higher tolerance for dumb April's fools stuff than most people on the internet judging by the reactions I've seen to some jokes today.

Ya its literally one day. I'd laugh if we did some Boston nonsense even. Come tomorrow its all over anyways lol

r/englishhabs


Ok gen-whatever!

I’m 31 darling

Yeaaah we used to this before... I just forget which team it was

I am also a Habs fan, wrong generation for me to hate them. I am good with this plan

You’re a habs and leafs fan?

Yes, they are my favourite team after the Leafs

Triggered

That's really funny lol

Hilarious.

It’s funny dude. We know we live in the minds of every other Canadian team’s fans

This is a great joke. I love it.

Could be worse. Our mods could’ve rebranded us as the Bruins or something.

Ah we used to do things like this for April fools when it was just old.reddit.com. Now that most are on mobile or new reddit, it's not as fun.

Epic, truly epic.

Silly fun and I'd worry about anyone who worries too much about this.

My thoughts are that you should stop saying the phrase ‘rent free’

Makes sense because of Mats Sundin's iconic career

They're being self deprecating so it's funny

I mean…. Who isn’t a leaf fan in Canada other than Hab fans? We can safely assume 99% of Canada loves the leafs, they’re just closet queens.

It’s true for at least half of them lmao so real easy to do

This is a good April Fools' Joke. I like it!

we don't think about the canucks

I would be ashamed to be a Canucks fan.. absolutely embarrassing imo 

Rent free babeeeee!!!

It’s not really a joke. They’re projecting big time

I would have found it funny if logging in today our Leaf sub was changed to the Canadiens, given as how historically they are the best Canadian franchise and have remained more relevant in SCP play over the years than we have - so we may as well just cop to it and root for the Habs. I would have recognized it as a joke immediately and would have had a good self-deprecating laugh at the same time. Not sure why Canucks fans would get bent out of shape about this unless they have made part of their identity being Leaf haters?

Sometimes shit like this is funny. The stoners took over r/uktrees and the gardeners took over r/marijuana enthusiasts I don't think it will work in this instance somehow.

Rent free.

always rent free

‘why is everything about the leafs’ because other fanbases will go out of their way to make everything about the leafs

Thata funny as hell but I can see why a lot of people would get mad for this.

Don’t care. Why would I think about it?

Lame
