Brands with Humor – April Fools’ Day 2015

We all love someone with a good sense of humor, so why shouldn’t companies have one too? April Fools’ Day is full of harmless jokes and pranks from the ones we love– sometimes it’s frustrating, and sometimes you just want a piece of the action. But as a dutiful marketing major, I have to argue that even more amusing than the jokes from your friends and family, are the big companies that get in on the fun. Check out these what these big brands did for April Fools’ Day this year.

Honda announces the HR-V Selfie Edition, and I think it’s going to be a big hit.

 

Motorola‘s newest #MotoSelfieStick, just in case the Honda HR-V Selfie Edition wasn’t enough for your selfie-taking habits. After all, “A selfie is only as good as its stick…

 

Pets Unleashed by T-Mobile – As an avid puppy-lover, how could I not get excited by this one?

 

Bathstore brings us the reverse toilet, which in this day and age of multitasking, may end up in high demand…

    Benefit Cosmetics UK showed their twitter following how to get ready for a night out in a time crunch, but I don’t think I’ll be trying this anytime soon.  

 

Intel UK got punny with their latest and greatest “chip”.

  Pizza Hut created an enticing new way to choose your lunch, a scratch and sniff menu?  


After sorting through all the practical jokes played on us by these companies, I think I have to award the “April Fools’ Day Spirit” award to the entire United Kingdom. Somehow, a large amount of the UK sectors of these international corporations decided to go big or go home on this day of pranks– kudos to them!

Whether these tweets actually fooled you or not, its always great to see when a company you love goes the extra mile to bring a smile to your face.
