If your character has "The Gift of Laughter" achievement but is missing the flag to access the suffix "the Lunatic", which can happen due to having gotten the achievement via clicking the painting a lot, but not having gotten the laughing-aura on April 1:

Then:

You can still get the flag to be able to use "the Lunatic" suffix on a subsequent April 1 by zoning back and forth lots between any zones until you get the laughing aura.

Just to update since this is April 1 - one year later

Character has zoned "back and forth lots between any zones" and still has not been given the suffix/flag. I would suggest if that is a title you really want that you just do it the original way and not take the short cut version.

Not sure why they were thinking it will since you get the achievement accomplished under /ach and the painting. So there is no way for the system to award you "part" of the /ach (the suffix) since it shows done.

On my SK I did the short cut version which entails clicking the Painting over and over until it zones you to Shards Landing. I used a mirror/painting from another character who had already done the /ach. I did this on April 1.

While it did zone me after many clicks, and gave me the /ach it did not give me the suffix "The Lunatic" but it did give him a key ring entry called "your path to the King of Theives is clear".

None of my characters who have done this the non short cut way have the key ring entry. But they all do have the suffix "the lunatic"

Petitions and bug reports had no response

I wanted to update this as April 1 is approaching and someone might find it of use.

Zoned all over about 50 times - nothing
After clicking the painting in my alts house about 20 times it finally zoned me to Shards landing but did not get the emote. (this is said to be a short cut)
Logged off.
Logged back on - repeated random zones - nothing
Logged off
Back on again and after only zoning about 10 times I finally got the emote that "you chuckle heartily" but no neck ruffle and nothing else as far as any notice.
Zoned around some more and just seeing the "you chuckle" emote each time after zoning. Finally thought to check quest - rewards and there was the painting and the suffix "The Insane"

Whew!

Character was level 11 and did not go to zones any higher than level 30 ish. Finally got it in East Commonlands (was using Magus)

There is no quest giver and no quest per se. Just the /ach listed under Events

I asked around in general chat if anyone had received the gift of laughter buff. Someone got it zoning into Dead Hills, so I tried that and it worked. I only mention this because it may be that it is a single random zone or a just a few random zones where you get the buff each year when zoning in. The buff gives you several jester hats rotating around your head nimbus style. It does not give you the achievement or the painting.

The quest says to "share the gift of laughter". In order to share the gift with others (surprisingly there was nobody in Dead Hills) I gated back to PoK and got the achievement and the painting upon zoning. It may be that you just need to zone after getting the buff, not sure, when I gated back I landed in the middle of a group of players.

April 1 is the only day of the year you can get this achievement.

This is not viral, i have been standing by one of the people in my group who got it, and it never went to me. Also have zoned about 40 times into various zones now, and still haven't gotten the buff.
