Speaker 1 (00:00):
I think it was Bart Simpson that actually
said it the best April fools, as Homer
cracked open his beer and it blew up.
Why?
Because Bart put it in a paint shaker and
shook the crap out of it.
Yeah, something you've never really done.
I've tried to shake up, you know.
Pop before to see if it actually go that
far and eventually the pressure inside of
it will just start popping out the sides.
(00:22):
It doesn't get to the point that of the
Simpsons.
It was a great gag reel on an amazing
cartoon and one of the most famous April
Fools of all time.
Everybody remembers that.
If you've watched cartoons as a kid and
you've watched the Simpsons, you understand
the significance of the April Fools episode
and you're probably just like myself.
You watch it every single year on April
(00:44):
Fools, after fooling everybody all day, and
for myself.
Yes, april Fool's lasts 24 hours.
It doesn't end at noon because it's called
April Fool's Day.
A day constitutes a 24 hours, which means,
in all reality, workplaces that tell you
the need to stop at noon.
I'm sorry but I don't know, but really you
should have started at noon the day before.
So today, autolux is going to be taking a
look at some of the cool April Fool's jokes
(01:06):
that automotive companies play on us every
single year and why they do it Seriously.
What is the reason behind them playing
jokes on us?
There's actually a good reason behind it
and you'll find out that answer today on
the Autolux Podcast.
(01:26):

(02:08):
So, like I said in the beginning, the
Simpsons oh yes, that amazing joke.
As Homer opens the beer.
It blows up and blows the whole house and
then you see Lou and Chief Wiggum.
Chief, I believe that was the old Simpson
house.
Ah, that's three blocks away.
I believe it's beer coming out of the
chimney.
I'm proceeding on foot.
Call in for a call.
Today we need pretzels, repeat pretzels.
(02:29):
It's one of the greatest April Fool's
things of all time.
He's literally Chief Wiggum's running down
the street going after the house because
it's just full of beer and it actually puts
Homer into a coma.
You know, not the funniest thing to happen
out of some of these jokes, because really
every year there are all kinds of either
deaths or injuries due to April Fool's
(02:49):
jokes and most workplaces have put an end
to April Fool's jokes, either totally
throughout the day or they cut them off at
noon.
Now for myself, I don't get crazy like that
with April Fool's jokes, unlike some of the
car companies out there that really fool us
into thinking that some of these products
are real.
Nah, I just throw some easy ones out there.
You know, tying an air horn to somebody's
(03:10):
seat, so when they go to sit down in the
morning all they hear is scares, the crap
out of them.
It's so funny.
You know the good old saran wrap and the
door sill, putting vaseline or even
margarine or butter on a toilet seat and
watch people slip and slide all over it.
Oh yeah, there's some great, great April
Fool's jokes you can play on people out
there and in the workplace.
There's some of them you can do to people
that will even not cause harm, changing the
(03:32):
background.
Sending them a million different types of
spam emails hell, even sending them an
email that automatically opens up as you
Rickroll them at work.
Oh yeah, or as my son likes to say, you
send them a copy of buddy holly popped up
and you wheezer them.
It's just too cool.
April fools is one of those great pastimes
for everyone there.
Everybody just likes to play jokes on
anyone else.
It gives you a date to literally play jokes
(03:54):
on people where they understand why you're
playing jokes on them.
Everybody has to lighten up just a little
bit to allow people to have some fun, and
for myself, I love play jokes.
I scare the crap out of my wife all the
time.
I literally will stand at the end of a hall
In our basement.
We have a long hallway from our living room
all the way to the other end where our
laundry room is, and our laundry room
doesn't have a door to get into it.
(04:15):
It has a curtain.
We have a light-up lightsaber.
I stood behind that for probably about 15
minutes of 15 minutes.
My kids knew I was there and they didn't
tell their mom and all of a sudden she
opened the door and all she hears is and
sees the red come out and this dark figure
at the end.
Oh yeah, scared the crap out of her.
Not as much as when I moved like a doll to
the end of my office and I rolled the ball
(04:37):
down and she turns, sees the dollars.
It's great.
April fool's day is great.
It just gives you a reason to play jokes on
people, and automotive companies do this
every single year.
I remember a few years ago citroen had
their cactus inspired cactus, it's kind of
funny, but the car is already bizarre and
really weird looking and they made a cactus
(04:57):
feature for it.
You can actually cover it with a cactus
wrap, make it a prickly perch of a car.
But it was just that.
It was one of my first introductions to
automobile companies, playing jokes on
people, and over the years some great ones
have actually come out of this Aston Martin
with a monster truck, a Honda CR-V.
It was both a roadster and a convertible.
Hot Wheels had one one year where they
(05:19):
actually sent out this new disclaimer that
they're not going to be allowing people to
build their own cars starting on April 1st.
Oh, people lost their shit.
It was funny.
They're like what do you mean?
I'm going to have to put my own Hot Wheels
together.
I buy tons of these things.
Nobody's going to want to buy them.
If they got to put them together, even in
the future, so many things could happen
with it and nobody understood what day it
(05:40):
was coming out.
But automotive companies do this every
single year.
Mclaren last year had a really good one.
They wrapped a 650 in feathers and stated
from the factory you can now get a brand
new feather wrap.
Kind of funny because, uh, in a sense
they're almost making fun of one of their
competitors on the grid and formula one red
bull, because they always say red bull
(06:01):
gives you wings.
Well, a mclaren with its doors open is
essentially wings and covered with feathers.
Just makes it that much more fun of a joke.
And the funny thing is is every year people
see these things and they don't realize
that it's fake.
And now, with the addition of AI technology,
like yesterday, I was going through some
videos and I found one for Ace Ventura 3
(06:23):
and I'm watching it and I'm thinking it's
real and I get right to the end.
When he starts talking I'm like, oh no, the
second he talks at the end of it because
there's no talking until right at the end.
You can tell 100.
This is ai created.
It's not a real movie.
Well, when it comes to images, it's even
harder to decipher and automotive companies
are now using that to their benefit and
they use brand new technology like this to
(06:43):
kind of make a statement.
Since the introduction of essentially
social media, automotive companies have
been playing April Fool's jokes on the
online world.
Before they used to do print ads and some
television ads.
But you have to remember you've got to pay
in advance.
There's no guarantee it's going to come out
exactly on that day to freak people out.
They're going to get all kinds of things.
It created more of a headache to automotive
(07:04):
companies.
So, around the times of the internet and
the early days of myspace, the precursor to
facebook.
For people who don't know what myspace
actually was, if you really want to learn
about it, I suggest watching the music
video white nerdy by the, the great, the
great, great man that I'm going to see this
summer, mr weird al yankovic white nerdy as
he says he pimps out his MySpace page.
(07:25):
You can basically build your own essential
website and communicate with tons and tons
of people.
It's like a precursor.
It's a Facebook.
You remember Facebook?
We used to be able to personalize
everything on it besides, just like your
banner image and your actual image.
You used to be able to pimp out tons of
other things in it.
Yeah, those were great days.
Automotive companies are now using this new
technology because everybody is literally
plugged in, from young kids all the way up
(07:47):
to the elderly.
People are on social media all the time and
they know people are on it all the time.
That's what makes it so great.
It was so much disinformation out there.
Tons of people have trouble trusting every
single thing they either see or hear out
there.
A lot more people actually trust things
that they see than they hear.
So in saying that, I'm taking a wild guess
(08:08):
that a lot of people listening right now
probably don't trust me, more so than if
they saw me in an actual podcast talking to
my microphone right now, as I'm doing, you
know, staring at you, talking to you on my
microphone with this amazing cool light
coming off the back of it.
You're like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm so
entranced in this light coming off the back
of it.
You're like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm so
(08:28):
entranced in this.
Yeah, it's amazing.
It's like mr ever jay's talking to me face
to face and he's getting real close to that
microphone.
All reality, hearing, reading, seeing it's
all part of how we take in information, and
automotive companies, like I said, have
been utilizing this to play april fool's
jokes on people for years.
One of my most favorite ones of all time
was Jeep A few years back created the Jeep
(08:48):
grill, literally a barbecue that was made
to look like the Jeep grill.
They actually had a working model of it and
real people Like it was a legit
advertisement and I'm looking at it going,
wow, that is cool, that would be a great
idea.
You know, I've seen those ones that are
like people build these fire pits that look
like the Death Star.
I've even seen the ones with like Darth
Vader heads, tie fighters.
(09:10):
You know all these cool, cool things.
Why not make a barbecue of a Jeep grill?
I'm like, oh, that is so cool.
Jeep is getting into some really neat stuff.
I've heard of, like the Bugatti office desk
or Ferrari luggage, but not a Jeep grill.
And I would buy one of those things.
I have, like this little Ford F-150 at the
end of my spatula for my barbecue.
You know, my little truck one.
(09:30):
You know I only got it because it's a truck
and in all reality I got it from a dollar
store, so there was no choice on the truck
at the end of it.
But it made me think, oh, this is cool,
this is great.
Then I see the date it.
But it's fake.
Yeah, like Skoda with their noise-canceling
(09:52):
headrest, or BMW saying they're going to
get rid of all features from vehicles that
nobody uses, including turn signals,
because BMW drivers are some of the most
prevalent ones to not use their turn signal
while changing lanes.
It's a proven fact.
I'm sorry to all the BMW fans out there,
but literally so many different car
magazines and media sources have done the
(10:12):
stuff on this, they found BMW drivers are
the most aggravated ones without using
their turn signals.
So BMW played off of that for an April
Fool's joke, basically stating to people oh
yeah, we're just going to get rid of the
turn signals from the car since nobody uses
them.
Why do we need them.
They also had the BMW truck option, the 3
Series truck that they were going to build.
(10:32):
Well, you got to remember, with the world
we live in today, people look at some
things like that kind of like the Jeep
barbecue and say, hey, you might have
thought it was a joke, I thought it was
real and since it's not real, I'm going to
make it.
And how many people out there have chopped
up BMW 3 Series in their garages to build
their own pickup truck?
Funny thing is I haven't seen anybody go
out and take a BMW X5 or an X7, chop it up
(10:57):
and turn it into a pickup truck.
See, that would be a lot better because
it's actually built for off-road
environments.
A 3 Series pickup truck is kind of like one
of the world's greatest drift cars ever,
custom built for drifting in Japan the
Silvia truck.
If you haven't seen it, go check it out.
It's one of the coolest things, kind of
like those old Holden Maloos and the FPV
Falcon trucks.
The Utes are amazing and fun and are cool
(11:18):
vehicles and they're not a joke.
So the Jeep truck was something that people
actually took seriously and then when Jeep
didn't bring it out, they're like fuck man,
I might as well just make myself one.
And they did.
Another cool thing they actually did a
couple years ago was the BMW magnetic tow
option.
So on the front of your vehicle, when
you're on the highway, you could literally
just turn on the tow option and it would
click onto the vehicle in front of you and
with that what it would do is you could
(11:40):
literally it's like a tractor beam it would
hold you onto the car in front of you.
You guys would do the same speed.
You'd just use it as cruise control.
Huh, tech people see this and it's like
what we could build an autonomous system
that actually does that.
And here we go autonomous technology at its
best.
Hell, things like this have been working
for years.
Bmw gave us the insight.
So car companies kind of give you a
(12:01):
precursor to information and technology
that they're kind of working on some of
these products that we'd never create.
Like I said, the jeep grill it went great.
Or even the volkswagen luminescent id3
harlequin edition okay, one that actually
lit up.
It glowed in the dark.
Or how about the old volkswagen one?
They were going to change their name.
(12:21):
They did it for april fools, the year that
that whole you know dieselgate thing
happened and they wanted to change people's
perception of volkswagen.
So they literally sat and did like a month
of pr stuff all before April 1st, saying
how they were going to change their name
over to Volkswagen and go fully electric
for the future.
They were going to be taking the internal
(12:42):
combustion engine and diesel options
completely out of their lineup, going all
in on electric.
And to do it they had to change their name
to Volkswagen.
Everybody thought they were serious, like
they literally led us on a trail for over a
month and then bam, april Fool's Day, they
have the special ID3 Harley Quinn edition
come out and they tell us it's a joke,
(13:02):
they're not going to change their name to
Volkswagen.
That's just dumb.
Volkswagen already means people's car.
Why would we change the name of it?
But at the press release stating the fact
that it was an April Fool's joke, they told
everyone that they were going heavily into
the electric vehicle industry and soon
enough Volkswagen had become one of the top
players in the world for electric vehicle
(13:22):
technology, investments and products out on
the automotive world.
So essentially it was a great April Fool's
joke to bring massive PR to the car company
where in the end it was a joke the name
changeover.
But everything else behind it was not a
joke and because you dove so deep into it,
they had you hooked.
It helped to increase the sales of the
(13:43):
brand new ID3 electric hatchback.
That's essentially a PR stunt made to boost
sales, and that's what a lot of the April
Fool's jokes are to bring more brand
awareness.
If you don't remember, years ago Volkswagen
did a little kid as Darth Vader for the
Super Bowl, where at the end the kid's
trying to turn the car on and his dad
(14:04):
presses the button.
The kid gets freaked out.
It's like whoa, I did that.
Well, it became one of the most memorable
commercials of all time and it made you
remember that that was Volkswagen that did
that.
So these companies bring this massive
awareness, even through jokes, to their car
companies.
You remember them, and it's not just today.
You remember them.
You remember them in the future.
(14:24):
You're going online, you're hearing about
April Fool's coming up and you know Mini's
got this new one coming out.
You're like Mini, it's like ah.
I remember a couple years ago when they did
that special edition one, the hipster hatch
edition, for the man bun plaid wearing, you
know, hipsters type people from the inner
city.
And then they also had that one that
apparently ran on tea because they're from
(14:44):
Great Britain.
That was funny.
I remember they did that.
It makes it memorable and you remember
these car companies.
So it's another form of advertising and
people remember humor a lot better than
just a decent experience.
And I'll tell you one thing I learned in
business it's harder to keep people than it
is to get new ones.
Why?
Because when you make one mistake after you
(15:04):
gain the trust of one person.
One mistake with that person and they'll go
tell nine people you give the most amazing
treatment ever, like literally lay out the
red carpet for them.
That's all three of their friends.
They tell less people about good
experiences.
Social media proves that to us.
People who don't like my podcast will go
online in droves and talk badly about it,
(15:25):
but you'll never read good points.
Why?
Because they use the platform for bad.
So when these auto companies use the
platform for humor and it catches these
people off, they turn it into a bad
situation, because some of these people get
just so pissed off at it that it's a stupid
idea and they go right off the rails.
You know that nine factor just keeps
growing and growing and growing, right in
(15:46):
the end when they get proven that it's just
a joke and they also just kept their mouth
shut.
Well, all you could say is there's a ton of
people that remember what they said and who
they talked about.
Well, yeah, you have to remember.
You write something in a form bad thing
about one of these car companies.
They'll remember it's pretty interesting.
But a lot of them like to play around with
funny ideas, like the aero soul.
(16:08):
Like you can tell right from the picture
that it's literally a photoshopped picture
made by kia to even look bad, to make you
aware of the fact that it's a joke.
And yet some people still thought that was
the most butt ugly thing and they're going
off about this design, not realizing it's a
joke.
Like I said, more people will talk bad than
good.
I do that all the time, like right now,
especially with this whole thing about, you
(16:29):
know, canada becoming the 51st state.
I always tell people I I said I don't want
to do it, I don't agree with it, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
But I said but there's a silver lining to
it.
I always like to try and find the good and
the humorous.
In all situations I'm like yeah, you just
got to remember if we join the United
States.
The province of Ontario is fucked,
seriously Like fucked, why, because of the
interstate pact, the province of Ontario
(16:50):
would have to four lane, like limited
access throughway for highways 17 and 11,
which would equate to nearly 4,000
kilometers of roadway.
I'm like see, there's a silver lining in it.
I don't give up my healthcare but I'm going
to gain my highway.
Right, you have to find the humor in the
situations and these companies find the
humor in the situations.
(17:12):
Some of them their humor, at the end of the
day, just creates a good laugh.
Some of them, at the end of the day,
inspires people to go out and create things
like this, and some of them, at the end of
the day, people are literally looking at it,
going why.
That seems like the stupidest thing you
could ever do, even for a joke.
But in all reality you remember the joke
when you get told a really funny joke,
(17:32):
whether it be from friends, family or even
a co-worker at work.
If it's funny and it made you laugh, you'll
remember it.
And car companies know that and they
understand that it's part of marketing and
advertising.
A humor-based advertisement can really make
you think.
Aston Martin had one.
That was actually a serious.
One years ago it had this amazingly
(17:53):
attractive female on the front, literally
like a little lace gown you could see her
nice butt and she's standing there getting
ready for a date night.
And it was all about selling Aston Martin
used vehicles and it said you may not have
been the first to drive her, but at least
you know she'll be well prepared when you
get her.
Basically stating that when you buy one of
their used vehicles, it doesn't matter that
(18:14):
it's been used by somebody else.
They're going to make sure that when you
buy it it's like getting it new it's
already pre-broken in so you don't have to
go through some of those bad points about
buying a new vehicle.
And by using this amazingly great looking
female in it it really appeals at least to
the male side, some female side.
But whatever, whatever, everyone's into it
appeals to them.
(18:35):
And for myself, when I saw it I'm like
naturally it's attractive to female.
My eye just freaking dilate as a standard.
It's like whoa.
And then I read it and I'm like that is
funny.
I saw that ad before my son was even born,
god, almost two decades ago, and I still
remember it, kind of like the citron cactus.
(18:57):
That was 11 years ago that I saw that on
april fools and I still remember it.
Some of these amazing things I remember.
Like I said, people remember bad
experiences and they remember funny moments.
Why do you think when you watch tv shows
and you ask somebody and you use a, you
know a serious line from a show like nypd
blue or blue bloods or you know even er
(19:17):
nobody gets it.
They'll stare at you like what the hell and
you're like oh, you know it's from er and
they're just like and I watched it.
Well, I don't remember any of that crap.
But for anybody who's seen a show like
south park family guy, the Simpsons, bob's
Burgers, even Futurama those main five ones
are my key go-to for humor in my life.
(19:38):
Beavis and Butthead is a big one too and I
have a famous line I like to use from
Beavis and Butthead.
It was a very funny moment because Beavis
literally gets kicked in the nuts and
Butthead looks at him and goes don't worry,
beavis, you can cry.
(19:59):
Crying gets all the sad out and it's like
oh my God, it's funny and truthful at the
same time.
But it's an idiot, but that's deep man and
it's funny.
How many people watch the Simpsons and
remember those funny moments.
Like I said at the very beginning of this
episode, the April Fools.
If I look at you, I point as I'm standing
on a hallway and I go April Fools and if
you've seen the Simpsons, you automatically
in your head see that house going and then
you see Chief Wakeup calling in for backup
because he needs pretzels.
(20:20):
It's humor.
Humor lightens up our day.
It puts a smile on our face and even to the
most hard-pressed, cold-blooded people out
there, if you can crack a smile and make
them laugh, then you've made their day.
And trust me, in my life there's only one
person I know of that I can't do that to.
I've heard them laugh but I can't get them
to laugh because they take me too seriously
(20:41):
with everything, because we're at edge.
You can probably guess who it is if you've
listened to a lot of my podcasts.
But anyone else I can get a laugh and I
love laughing.
I like to get the humor out of any
situation.
I don't even death.
Why?
Because people who laugh live longer.
Yeah, some of the oldest people in the
world.
They always say don't hold stress or
(21:02):
regrets or grudges.
Learn to laugh and live life in the moment.
Why?
Because stress kills you, being pent up and
worried about everything kills you all the
time, and I try and tell that to specific
people I know in my life, but it doesn't
change anything.
You need to let the laughter in.
Think about it.
When Krusty died on the Simpsons, well,
faked his death and they had the giant
monument of Krusty's head there and
everybody's crying.
(21:24):
What does it say on Krusty's tombstone?
It's him smiling, him smiling and laughing,
saying see you real soon.
Kids Like that.
That's dark, but in a sense it's also funny.
And if you can't get the humor side of that,
you got issues.
April Fool's jokes from car companies is a
way for you to remember and signify with a
car company about something that made you
(21:45):
smile, because when you smile, the whole
world smiles with you smile Because when
you smile, the whole world smiles with you.
Louis Armstrong said it best For a man that
had so much despair in his life and went
through so much, he created one of the most
beautiful songs in the world and he had a
point when you're smiling, the whole world
smiles with you.
If you really want to get into context,
there's also another one right after that.
(22:06):
I'm going to leave you this one last bit
when you smile, the whole world smiles with
you and when you fart, you stand alone.
Think about that.
If you just giggle a little bit, that was
the point of the joke.
If you were disgusted by it, you didn't
understand the point of the joke where, if
you see some of these car companies putting
these fun things out, like mg tires that
paint the road, or the invisible car,
(22:27):
hyundai that click to fly in, the new itan,
popemobile or hell, you even do a joke.
That isn't a joke.
Like bmw of new zealand, they gave away a
free car a couple years ago and everybody
thought it was a joke.
But it was a reverse april fool's joke.
And one person, tiana mars, showed up at
the dealership and asked for her free car.
They failed out the paperwork and she drove
away with a BMW 1 Series with a license
(22:49):
plate.
No fools, because she was the one smart
enough to realize that it wasn't an April
Fool's joke and even if it was, she was
bold enough to go in and have a good laugh
about it, because literally everybody needs
a laugh and the world would be so much
better of a place if we all learned to
laugh every once in a while.
I'm going to leave you with one of the most
(23:10):
famous sayings that I've ever heard.
People always ask us why there's so many
comedians in Canada.
My dad had the perfect explanation for this.
One, we have bad weather.
Two, we always have bad government.
Three, we have bad roads.
So if we don't learn to laugh about things,
we're just going to die so much sooner.
Because, literally, why do you think
somebody like John Candy, jim Carrey, mike
(23:32):
Myers or even Seth Rogen got so funny?
They had to find the humor in a bad
situation, and car companies do that.
They use the humor of April Fools to, even
if something is so bad like Dieselgate,
they could turn around and make it one of
the funniest jokes of all time.
So humor we all need to just smile and
laugh.
(23:53):
Because, trust me, I don't like to live in
a world where it's 100% serious all the
time and I don't like to work in workplaces
like that.
I have worked in serious workplaces and
they are the most toxic environments ever,
especially the ones that don't let you play
April Fool's jokes.
So today, on April Fool's Day, go out, read
some of the news articles, check out
websites like Carscoops, motor1, car News
(24:15):
China or hell, even the Unlooks website,
and find some of these great, funny April
Fool's jokes that car companies are putting
out to the world.
Because we all need a good smile today,
even if we're the one that had the joke
played on us.
We have to remember it's funny and we need
to lighten up just a little bit, because
April Fool's is all about letting go.

So for myself, I'm Richard, the Autoluxnet
website and the Ecom Entertainment Group,
(25:41):
strap yourself in for this one fun, funny
ride that April Fool's is going to take us
on.
I think it was Bart Simpson that actually
said it the best April fools, as Homer
cracked open his beer and it blew up.
Why?
Because Bart put it in a paint shaker and
shook the crap out of it.
Yeah, something you've never really done.
I've tried to shake up, you know.
Pop before to see if it actually go that
far and eventually the pressure inside of
it will just start popping out the sides.
(00:22):
It doesn't get to the point that of the
Simpsons.
It was a great gag reel on an amazing
cartoon and one of the most famous April
Fools of all time.
Everybody remembers that.
If you've watched cartoons as a kid and
you've watched the Simpsons, you understand
the significance of the April Fools episode
and you're probably just like myself.
You watch it every single year on April
(00:44):
Fools, after fooling everybody all day, and
for myself.
Yes, april Fool's lasts 24 hours.
It doesn't end at noon because it's called
April Fool's Day.
A day constitutes a 24 hours, which means,
in all reality, workplaces that tell you
the need to stop at noon.
I'm sorry but I don't know, but really you
should have started at noon the day before.
So today, autolux is going to be taking a
look at some of the cool April Fool's jokes
(01:06):
that automotive companies play on us every
single year and why they do it Seriously.
What is the reason behind them playing
jokes on us?
There's actually a good reason behind it
and you'll find out that answer today on
the Autolux Podcast.
(01:26):

(02:08):
So, like I said in the beginning, the
Simpsons oh yes, that amazing joke.
As Homer opens the beer.
It blows up and blows the whole house and
then you see Lou and Chief Wiggum.
Chief, I believe that was the old Simpson
house.
Ah, that's three blocks away.
I believe it's beer coming out of the
chimney.
I'm proceeding on foot.
Call in for a call.
Today we need pretzels, repeat pretzels.
(02:29):
It's one of the greatest April Fool's
things of all time.
He's literally Chief Wiggum's running down
the street going after the house because
it's just full of beer and it actually puts
Homer into a coma.
You know, not the funniest thing to happen
out of some of these jokes, because really
every year there are all kinds of either
deaths or injuries due to April Fool's
(02:49):
jokes and most workplaces have put an end
to April Fool's jokes, either totally
throughout the day or they cut them off at
noon.
Now for myself, I don't get crazy like that
with April Fool's jokes, unlike some of the
car companies out there that really fool us
into thinking that some of these products
are real.
Nah, I just throw some easy ones out there.
You know, tying an air horn to somebody's
(03:10):
seat, so when they go to sit down in the
morning all they hear is scares, the crap
out of them.
It's so funny.
You know the good old saran wrap and the
door sill, putting vaseline or even
margarine or butter on a toilet seat and
watch people slip and slide all over it.
Oh yeah, there's some great, great April
Fool's jokes you can play on people out
there and in the workplace.
There's some of them you can do to people
that will even not cause harm, changing the
(03:32):
background.
Sending them a million different types of
spam emails hell, even sending them an
email that automatically opens up as you
Rickroll them at work.
Oh yeah, or as my son likes to say, you
send them a copy of buddy holly popped up
and you wheezer them.
It's just too cool.
April fools is one of those great pastimes
for everyone there.
Everybody just likes to play jokes on
anyone else.
It gives you a date to literally play jokes
(03:54):
on people where they understand why you're
playing jokes on them.
Everybody has to lighten up just a little
bit to allow people to have some fun, and
for myself, I love play jokes.
I scare the crap out of my wife all the
time.
I literally will stand at the end of a hall
In our basement.
We have a long hallway from our living room
all the way to the other end where our
laundry room is, and our laundry room
doesn't have a door to get into it.
(04:15):
It has a curtain.
We have a light-up lightsaber.
I stood behind that for probably about 15
minutes of 15 minutes.
My kids knew I was there and they didn't
tell their mom and all of a sudden she
opened the door and all she hears is and
sees the red come out and this dark figure
at the end.
Oh yeah, scared the crap out of her.
Not as much as when I moved like a doll to
the end of my office and I rolled the ball
(04:37):
down and she turns, sees the dollars.
It's great.
April fool's day is great.
It just gives you a reason to play jokes on
people, and automotive companies do this
every single year.
I remember a few years ago citroen had
their cactus inspired cactus, it's kind of
funny, but the car is already bizarre and
really weird looking and they made a cactus
(04:57):
feature for it.
You can actually cover it with a cactus
wrap, make it a prickly perch of a car.
But it was just that.
It was one of my first introductions to
automobile companies, playing jokes on
people, and over the years some great ones
have actually come out of this Aston Martin
with a monster truck, a Honda CR-V.
It was both a roadster and a convertible.
Hot Wheels had one one year where they
(05:19):
actually sent out this new disclaimer that
they're not going to be allowing people to
build their own cars starting on April 1st.
Oh, people lost their shit.
It was funny.
They're like what do you mean?
I'm going to have to put my own Hot Wheels
together.
I buy tons of these things.
Nobody's going to want to buy them.
If they got to put them together, even in
the future, so many things could happen
with it and nobody understood what day it
(05:40):
was coming out.
But automotive companies do this every
single year.
Mclaren last year had a really good one.
They wrapped a 650 in feathers and stated
from the factory you can now get a brand
new feather wrap.
Kind of funny because, uh, in a sense
they're almost making fun of one of their
competitors on the grid and formula one red
bull, because they always say red bull
(06:01):
gives you wings.
Well, a mclaren with its doors open is
essentially wings and covered with feathers.
Just makes it that much more fun of a joke.
And the funny thing is is every year people
see these things and they don't realize
that it's fake.
And now, with the addition of AI technology,
like yesterday, I was going through some
videos and I found one for Ace Ventura 3
(06:23):
and I'm watching it and I'm thinking it's
real and I get right to the end.
When he starts talking I'm like, oh no, the
second he talks at the end of it because
there's no talking until right at the end.
You can tell 100.
This is ai created.
It's not a real movie.
Well, when it comes to images, it's even
harder to decipher and automotive companies
are now using that to their benefit and
they use brand new technology like this to
(06:43):
kind of make a statement.
Since the introduction of essentially
social media, automotive companies have
been playing April Fool's jokes on the
online world.
Before they used to do print ads and some
television ads.
But you have to remember you've got to pay
in advance.
There's no guarantee it's going to come out
exactly on that day to freak people out.
They're going to get all kinds of things.
It created more of a headache to automotive
(07:04):
companies.
So, around the times of the internet and
the early days of myspace, the precursor to
facebook.
For people who don't know what myspace
actually was, if you really want to learn
about it, I suggest watching the music
video white nerdy by the, the great, the
great, great man that I'm going to see this
summer, mr weird al yankovic white nerdy as
he says he pimps out his MySpace page.
(07:25):
You can basically build your own essential
website and communicate with tons and tons
of people.
It's like a precursor.
It's a Facebook.
You remember Facebook?
We used to be able to personalize
everything on it besides, just like your
banner image and your actual image.
You used to be able to pimp out tons of
other things in it.
Yeah, those were great days.
Automotive companies are now using this new
technology because everybody is literally
plugged in, from young kids all the way up
(07:47):
to the elderly.
People are on social media all the time and
they know people are on it all the time.
That's what makes it so great.
It was so much disinformation out there.
Tons of people have trouble trusting every
single thing they either see or hear out
there.
A lot more people actually trust things
that they see than they hear.
So in saying that, I'm taking a wild guess
(08:08):
that a lot of people listening right now
probably don't trust me, more so than if
they saw me in an actual podcast talking to
my microphone right now, as I'm doing, you
know, staring at you, talking to you on my
microphone with this amazing cool light
coming off the back of it.
You're like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm so
entranced in this light coming off the back
of it.
You're like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm so
(08:28):
entranced in this.
Yeah, it's amazing.
It's like mr ever jay's talking to me face
to face and he's getting real close to that
microphone.
All reality, hearing, reading, seeing it's
all part of how we take in information, and
automotive companies, like I said, have
been utilizing this to play april fool's
jokes on people for years.
One of my most favorite ones of all time
was Jeep A few years back created the Jeep
(08:48):
grill, literally a barbecue that was made
to look like the Jeep grill.
They actually had a working model of it and
real people Like it was a legit
advertisement and I'm looking at it going,
wow, that is cool, that would be a great
idea.
You know, I've seen those ones that are
like people build these fire pits that look
like the Death Star.
I've even seen the ones with like Darth
Vader heads, tie fighters.
(09:10):
You know all these cool, cool things.
Why not make a barbecue of a Jeep grill?
I'm like, oh, that is so cool.
Jeep is getting into some really neat stuff.
I've heard of, like the Bugatti office desk
or Ferrari luggage, but not a Jeep grill.
And I would buy one of those things.
I have, like this little Ford F-150 at the
end of my spatula for my barbecue.
You know, my little truck one.
(09:30):
You know I only got it because it's a truck
and in all reality I got it from a dollar
store, so there was no choice on the truck
at the end of it.
But it made me think, oh, this is cool,
this is great.
Then I see the date it.
But it's fake.
Yeah, like Skoda with their noise-canceling
(09:52):
headrest, or BMW saying they're going to
get rid of all features from vehicles that
nobody uses, including turn signals,
because BMW drivers are some of the most
prevalent ones to not use their turn signal
while changing lanes.
It's a proven fact.
I'm sorry to all the BMW fans out there,
but literally so many different car
magazines and media sources have done the
(10:12):
stuff on this, they found BMW drivers are
the most aggravated ones without using
their turn signals.
So BMW played off of that for an April
Fool's joke, basically stating to people oh
yeah, we're just going to get rid of the
turn signals from the car since nobody uses
them.
Why do we need them.
They also had the BMW truck option, the 3
Series truck that they were going to build.
(10:32):
Well, you got to remember, with the world
we live in today, people look at some
things like that kind of like the Jeep
barbecue and say, hey, you might have
thought it was a joke, I thought it was
real and since it's not real, I'm going to
make it.
And how many people out there have chopped
up BMW 3 Series in their garages to build
their own pickup truck?
Funny thing is I haven't seen anybody go
out and take a BMW X5 or an X7, chop it up
(10:57):
and turn it into a pickup truck.
See, that would be a lot better because
it's actually built for off-road
environments.
A 3 Series pickup truck is kind of like one
of the world's greatest drift cars ever,
custom built for drifting in Japan the
Silvia truck.
If you haven't seen it, go check it out.
It's one of the coolest things, kind of
like those old Holden Maloos and the FPV
Falcon trucks.
The Utes are amazing and fun and are cool
(11:18):
vehicles and they're not a joke.
So the Jeep truck was something that people
actually took seriously and then when Jeep
didn't bring it out, they're like fuck man,
I might as well just make myself one.
And they did.
Another cool thing they actually did a
couple years ago was the BMW magnetic tow
option.
So on the front of your vehicle, when
you're on the highway, you could literally
just turn on the tow option and it would
click onto the vehicle in front of you and
with that what it would do is you could
(11:40):
literally it's like a tractor beam it would
hold you onto the car in front of you.
You guys would do the same speed.
You'd just use it as cruise control.
Huh, tech people see this and it's like
what we could build an autonomous system
that actually does that.
And here we go autonomous technology at its
best.
Hell, things like this have been working
for years.
Bmw gave us the insight.
So car companies kind of give you a
(12:01):
precursor to information and technology
that they're kind of working on some of
these products that we'd never create.
Like I said, the jeep grill it went great.
Or even the volkswagen luminescent id3
harlequin edition okay, one that actually
lit up.
It glowed in the dark.
Or how about the old volkswagen one?
They were going to change their name.
(12:21):
They did it for april fools, the year that
that whole you know dieselgate thing
happened and they wanted to change people's
perception of volkswagen.
So they literally sat and did like a month
of pr stuff all before April 1st, saying
how they were going to change their name
over to Volkswagen and go fully electric
for the future.
They were going to be taking the internal
(12:42):
combustion engine and diesel options
completely out of their lineup, going all
in on electric.
And to do it they had to change their name
to Volkswagen.
Everybody thought they were serious, like
they literally led us on a trail for over a
month and then bam, april Fool's Day, they
have the special ID3 Harley Quinn edition
come out and they tell us it's a joke,
(13:02):
they're not going to change their name to
Volkswagen.
That's just dumb.
Volkswagen already means people's car.
Why would we change the name of it?
But at the press release stating the fact
that it was an April Fool's joke, they told
everyone that they were going heavily into
the electric vehicle industry and soon
enough Volkswagen had become one of the top
players in the world for electric vehicle
(13:22):
technology, investments and products out on
the automotive world.
So essentially it was a great April Fool's
joke to bring massive PR to the car company
where in the end it was a joke the name
changeover.
But everything else behind it was not a
joke and because you dove so deep into it,
they had you hooked.
It helped to increase the sales of the
(13:43):
brand new ID3 electric hatchback.
That's essentially a PR stunt made to boost
sales, and that's what a lot of the April
Fool's jokes are to bring more brand
awareness.
If you don't remember, years ago Volkswagen
did a little kid as Darth Vader for the
Super Bowl, where at the end the kid's
trying to turn the car on and his dad
(14:04):
presses the button.
The kid gets freaked out.
It's like whoa, I did that.
Well, it became one of the most memorable
commercials of all time and it made you
remember that that was Volkswagen that did
that.
So these companies bring this massive
awareness, even through jokes, to their car
companies.
You remember them, and it's not just today.
You remember them.
You remember them in the future.
(14:24):
You're going online, you're hearing about
April Fool's coming up and you know Mini's
got this new one coming out.
You're like Mini, it's like ah.
I remember a couple years ago when they did
that special edition one, the hipster hatch
edition, for the man bun plaid wearing, you
know, hipsters type people from the inner
city.
And then they also had that one that
apparently ran on tea because they're from
(14:44):
Great Britain.
That was funny.
I remember they did that.
It makes it memorable and you remember
these car companies.
So it's another form of advertising and
people remember humor a lot better than
just a decent experience.
And I'll tell you one thing I learned in
business it's harder to keep people than it
is to get new ones.
Why?
Because when you make one mistake after you
(15:04):
gain the trust of one person.
One mistake with that person and they'll go
tell nine people you give the most amazing
treatment ever, like literally lay out the
red carpet for them.
That's all three of their friends.
They tell less people about good
experiences.
Social media proves that to us.
People who don't like my podcast will go
online in droves and talk badly about it,
(15:25):
but you'll never read good points.
Why?
Because they use the platform for bad.
So when these auto companies use the
platform for humor and it catches these
people off, they turn it into a bad
situation, because some of these people get
just so pissed off at it that it's a stupid
idea and they go right off the rails.
You know that nine factor just keeps
growing and growing and growing, right in
(15:46):
the end when they get proven that it's just
a joke and they also just kept their mouth
shut.
Well, all you could say is there's a ton of
people that remember what they said and who
they talked about.
Well, yeah, you have to remember.
You write something in a form bad thing
about one of these car companies.
They'll remember it's pretty interesting.
But a lot of them like to play around with
funny ideas, like the aero soul.
(16:08):
Like you can tell right from the picture
that it's literally a photoshopped picture
made by kia to even look bad, to make you
aware of the fact that it's a joke.
And yet some people still thought that was
the most butt ugly thing and they're going
off about this design, not realizing it's a
joke.
Like I said, more people will talk bad than
good.
I do that all the time, like right now,
especially with this whole thing about, you
(16:29):
know, canada becoming the 51st state.
I always tell people I I said I don't want
to do it, I don't agree with it, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah.
But I said but there's a silver lining to
it.
I always like to try and find the good and
the humorous.
In all situations I'm like yeah, you just
got to remember if we join the United
States.
The province of Ontario is fucked,
seriously Like fucked, why, because of the
interstate pact, the province of Ontario
(16:50):
would have to four lane, like limited
access throughway for highways 17 and 11,
which would equate to nearly 4,000
kilometers of roadway.
I'm like see, there's a silver lining in it.
I don't give up my healthcare but I'm going
to gain my highway.
Right, you have to find the humor in the
situations and these companies find the
humor in the situations.
(17:12):
Some of them their humor, at the end of the
day, just creates a good laugh.
Some of them, at the end of the day,
inspires people to go out and create things
like this, and some of them, at the end of
the day, people are literally looking at it,
going why.
That seems like the stupidest thing you
could ever do, even for a joke.
But in all reality you remember the joke
when you get told a really funny joke,
(17:32):
whether it be from friends, family or even
a co-worker at work.
If it's funny and it made you laugh, you'll
remember it.
And car companies know that and they
understand that it's part of marketing and
advertising.
A humor-based advertisement can really make
you think.
Aston Martin had one.
That was actually a serious.
One years ago it had this amazingly
(17:53):
attractive female on the front, literally
like a little lace gown you could see her
nice butt and she's standing there getting
ready for a date night.
And it was all about selling Aston Martin
used vehicles and it said you may not have
been the first to drive her, but at least
you know she'll be well prepared when you
get her.
Basically stating that when you buy one of
their used vehicles, it doesn't matter that
(18:14):
it's been used by somebody else.
They're going to make sure that when you
buy it it's like getting it new it's
already pre-broken in so you don't have to
go through some of those bad points about
buying a new vehicle.
And by using this amazingly great looking
female in it it really appeals at least to
the male side, some female side.
But whatever, whatever, everyone's into it
appeals to them.
(18:35):
And for myself, when I saw it I'm like
naturally it's attractive to female.
My eye just freaking dilate as a standard.
It's like whoa.
And then I read it and I'm like that is
funny.
I saw that ad before my son was even born,
god, almost two decades ago, and I still
remember it, kind of like the citron cactus.
(18:57):
That was 11 years ago that I saw that on
april fools and I still remember it.
Some of these amazing things I remember.
Like I said, people remember bad
experiences and they remember funny moments.
Why do you think when you watch tv shows
and you ask somebody and you use a, you
know a serious line from a show like nypd
blue or blue bloods or you know even er
(19:17):
nobody gets it.
They'll stare at you like what the hell and
you're like oh, you know it's from er and
they're just like and I watched it.
Well, I don't remember any of that crap.
But for anybody who's seen a show like
south park family guy, the Simpsons, bob's
Burgers, even Futurama those main five ones
are my key go-to for humor in my life.
(19:38):
Beavis and Butthead is a big one too and I
have a famous line I like to use from
Beavis and Butthead.
It was a very funny moment because Beavis
literally gets kicked in the nuts and
Butthead looks at him and goes don't worry,
beavis, you can cry.
(19:59):
Crying gets all the sad out and it's like
oh my God, it's funny and truthful at the
same time.
But it's an idiot, but that's deep man and
it's funny.
How many people watch the Simpsons and
remember those funny moments.
Like I said at the very beginning of this
episode, the April Fools.
If I look at you, I point as I'm standing
on a hallway and I go April Fools and if
you've seen the Simpsons, you automatically
in your head see that house going and then
you see Chief Wakeup calling in for backup
because he needs pretzels.
(20:20):
It's humor.
Humor lightens up our day.
It puts a smile on our face and even to the
most hard-pressed, cold-blooded people out
there, if you can crack a smile and make
them laugh, then you've made their day.
And trust me, in my life there's only one
person I know of that I can't do that to.
I've heard them laugh but I can't get them
to laugh because they take me too seriously
(20:41):
with everything, because we're at edge.
You can probably guess who it is if you've
listened to a lot of my podcasts.
But anyone else I can get a laugh and I
love laughing.
I like to get the humor out of any
situation.
I don't even death.
Why?
Because people who laugh live longer.
Yeah, some of the oldest people in the
world.
They always say don't hold stress or
(21:02):
regrets or grudges.
Learn to laugh and live life in the moment.
Why?
Because stress kills you, being pent up and
worried about everything kills you all the
time, and I try and tell that to specific
people I know in my life, but it doesn't
change anything.
You need to let the laughter in.
Think about it.
When Krusty died on the Simpsons, well,
faked his death and they had the giant
monument of Krusty's head there and
everybody's crying.
(21:24):
What does it say on Krusty's tombstone?
It's him smiling, him smiling and laughing,
saying see you real soon.
Kids Like that.
That's dark, but in a sense it's also funny.
And if you can't get the humor side of that,
you got issues.
April Fool's jokes from car companies is a
way for you to remember and signify with a
car company about something that made you
(21:45):
smile, because when you smile, the whole
world smiles with you smile Because when
you smile, the whole world smiles with you.
Louis Armstrong said it best For a man that
had so much despair in his life and went
through so much, he created one of the most
beautiful songs in the world and he had a
point when you're smiling, the whole world
smiles with you.
If you really want to get into context,
there's also another one right after that.
(22:06):
I'm going to leave you this one last bit
when you smile, the whole world smiles with
you and when you fart, you stand alone.
Think about that.
If you just giggle a little bit, that was
the point of the joke.
If you were disgusted by it, you didn't
understand the point of the joke where, if
you see some of these car companies putting
these fun things out, like mg tires that
paint the road, or the invisible car,
(22:27):
hyundai that click to fly in, the new itan,
popemobile or hell, you even do a joke.
That isn't a joke.
Like bmw of new zealand, they gave away a
free car a couple years ago and everybody
thought it was a joke.
But it was a reverse april fool's joke.
And one person, tiana mars, showed up at
the dealership and asked for her free car.
They failed out the paperwork and she drove
away with a BMW 1 Series with a license
(22:49):
plate.
No fools, because she was the one smart
enough to realize that it wasn't an April
Fool's joke and even if it was, she was
bold enough to go in and have a good laugh
about it, because literally everybody needs
a laugh and the world would be so much
better of a place if we all learned to
laugh every once in a while.
I'm going to leave you with one of the most
(23:10):
famous sayings that I've ever heard.
People always ask us why there's so many
comedians in Canada.
My dad had the perfect explanation for this.
One, we have bad weather.
Two, we always have bad government.
Three, we have bad roads.
So if we don't learn to laugh about things,
we're just going to die so much sooner.
Because, literally, why do you think
somebody like John Candy, jim Carrey, mike
(23:32):
Myers or even Seth Rogen got so funny?
They had to find the humor in a bad
situation, and car companies do that.
They use the humor of April Fools to, even
if something is so bad like Dieselgate,
they could turn around and make it one of
the funniest jokes of all time.
So humor we all need to just smile and
laugh.
(23:53):
Because, trust me, I don't like to live in
a world where it's 100% serious all the
time and I don't like to work in workplaces
like that.
I have worked in serious workplaces and
they are the most toxic environments ever,
especially the ones that don't let you play
April Fool's jokes.
So today, on April Fool's Day, go out, read
some of the news articles, check out
websites like Carscoops, motor1, car News
(24:15):
China or hell, even the Unlooks website,
and find some of these great, funny April
Fool's jokes that car companies are putting
out to the world.
Because we all need a good smile today,
even if we're the one that had the joke
played on us.
We have to remember it's funny and we need
to lighten up just a little bit, because
April Fool's is all about letting go.
