I feel it could have been funny if Linus did that video remotely with someone walking around with a laptop camera. Pretend he fled to Japan with LMGs money
So long as they didn't have anything super valuable in their home, I feel like most people would go along with a completely paid for vacation if it just means trusting random people with most of your stuff
33:04 I was actually legitimately convinced using concrete was a legitimate coolant for that April fools video until the title got updated, so yeah, I do not expect myself to know how to think and breathe at the same time
I mean, I have a GREAT landlord, but Idk if I'd ever take the vacation deal like that 😆It's very tempting, but I just don't trust people. Not that I think my stuff would be stolen necessarily, but people don't treat your things with the same level of respect you do as the one who acquired it, or bought and paid for it. I would be way too worried about my stuff being broken in the process
@@VFuzball If I knew it was LMG I'd certainly be more tempted. I know Linus wouldn't let someone get screwed over by some crazy idea they had lol would still be a tough choice, but I'd be more tempted in that scenario
That was VERY high in production cost AND produciton value. I think that this year's April's Fool's prank was one of the best. Again, it just reminded me of what it was like being an extra on set, andd all of the work that goes into filiming ANYTHING really -- whether it's TV or film. Mad props!
it's strange finding where their priorities lie a few hundred bucks to test a cool and unique product with the gpu it was actually designed for instead of shitting on it and hurting the company was too much, but sending a family on vacation and moving a big part of production for 2 weeks for an april fools joke was easily doable, even though that shit costs thousands to pull off, at minimum
@@noraschoots3167 "a few hundred bucks to test a cool and unique product with the gpu it was actually designed for instead of shitting on it and hurting the company was too much" Translation: Somebody's awfully butthurt about that.
@@ewenchan1239 neh, I didnt initially even watch the video untill the controversy, their reasoning for it seems like a load of bull though considering they are perfectly comfortable spending money at least an order of magnitude higher on an april fools video the issue is with them mistreating the people who made something with passion and who trusted them to treat their project with respect
@@noraschoots3167 So....translation: You're still very much butthurt by it. Geee....I wonder why. (Sounds like someone has a very PERSONAL and VESTED interest in the company and/or the people who were being that EIGHT HUNDRED US DOLLAR COOLER.) Take a step back for a moment and think about what you are saying and what Linus was saying: You're spending $800 USD and you can't even cool a 4090 with it??? Would you EVER buy a $800 USD cooler that can't cool your expensive GPU??? According to Wikipedia, the TDP for a 3090 Ti is 450 W. The TDP for a 4090 is 450 W. Therefore; does it REALLY make that much of a difference whether they tested it on GPU A which had a TDP of 450 W or GPU B, which also has a TDP of 450 W??? You really think that the total thermal dissipated power would be different between the two GPUs??? This is OLD shit. And so far, there is little to no evidence that you've watched ANY of the follow up videos that LTT posted since this whole thing happened. If you want to stick your head in the sand, that's your biz. You do you. But if you're going to dig up old shit that has already been addressed, at least update your internal "database" with the AWARENESS that it's been updated, regardless of whether you watched the video updates or not. There is NO value in hanging on to old, outdated shit.
Another thing about labeling them as "Aprils Fools Joke" is that UA-cam doesn't show exact dates on anything older than a week, so you watch a random video from a year or a few ago and have to wonder "Why the fk is it weird like that??" because you can't see it was uploaded at April 1st
I like the effort you guys took to put masking tape, almost perfectly colored matched, on the walls so the duct tape would not damage the paint. Yes I caught that. They were taping what looked like the long UV light bulbs to the wall. You guys are awesome! It was an awesome prank and we appreciate the effort EVERYONE put in on it.
That the staff were actually working during the filming of the prank video is so far above and beyond, for every single person involved. I love you guys, this is the best kind of crazy.
If I'd take my landlord up on this offer VASTLY depends on how far in advance I was asked. I can't drop everything in my life and go away for 2 weeks on short notice. If there was at least a 2 to 4 month lead time and some compensation outside of "want to go on vacation?" then sure. But if you come to me like 6 weeks out I just wouldn't have enough time to make arrangements.
Another reason to make sure to mark older April Fools videos as such is that it's not always clear it was uploaded on April 1! Especially when it wasn't actually uploaded on April 1 😛
I suspect almost anyone who has a Person for a landlord would say yes quickly, and anyone who has a company for a landlord would say no, with a giant string of cursewords attached.
I must say, the greenscreen looks really good. I can't even tell that you're in the house right now. Looks exactly like the studio. Except for David, he's shoved into a little corner. Should've use a greenscreen for him too.
lol. another YT creator mentioned running into Linus in Tokyo in a chain restaurant while doing his daily vlog. But didn't want to disturb his privacy so didn't approach him and his family. He just mentioned it in his daily vlog, because he was so weirded out to randomly run into Linus in Tokyo. 😂😂
I tell u what u guys make a float plane exclusive of brining weird Al to the Lan center and showing him the fabled 2000in display in action I will purchase a floatplane subscription. I think we can all agree that would be epic and he'd totally be down for it
I didn’t appreciate the video for being an April fools joke. I appreciated it for the fact they actually managed to shoot in the house again, even after knowing they got kicked out (been watching for a while). I genuinely thought it was an elaborate set at first, so that’s where I got fooled
I should probably watch that video. It sounds pretty fun. I immediately recognized that it was a April Fools video. And being busy with other stuff, I just haven't watched it, yet.
I was wondering what the situation was there's no way that the house would've been empty. What a major logistics move. And for the renters to be on board with such a crazy April fools prank good on them.
Linus thinking the "tax writeoff" bit at 19:50 is just a meme, but thats literally what Warner Bros has been doing, deliberately throwing away production budget to use it as a loss on taxes
This is insane, that they don’t have anything in writing and are still willing to rent their house xD In the film industry when we rent a property of people, where they life. They get usually paid an insane amount per day + accommodation. All of the stuff you damage or move is insured because you REALLY wouldn’t want it not be insured.
the labeling is needed for april fools videos because people may watch them in the middle of the year and not expecting it to be uploaded april 1st and beliving it
I think the labeling is probably more necessary about a week or so afterwards. The first few days of April you're kind of used to and expecting it. As you get further away, people don't look at the date it was posted, especially once it just at a glance says 2 months ago.
I love the Define r4. It was my old case, and is now my plex tower server case. I just wish, now that I'm getting 16tb drives, they kept releasing the old R4 drive sleds with the new screw holes for the bottom screws. You CANNOT find them anymore. And all my sleds are for the old hole layouts. So I have to get an R7 eventualy so all my drives aren't just held in by 2 screws each. But also because 16 bays! Though I also love having 5 1/4 bay holes for DVD drive and eventually the second one will be populated with a bluray drive. I just need another PSU to power 5+ hard drives AND a DVD drive AND a blue ray drive. Eventually, when everything goes rack mount, I'll start work on a smaller auxillary rack that is a media ingest rack for all different kinds of formats, including 8 track, cassette, vhs, betamax, fuck it I'll do it all!
I have the kind of land lord who say they intend to raise rent 35% in July when the overall market where I live is down 3% YoY. So they'd have to do a hell of a lot more than send me on vacation for 2 weeks.
So where did the tenants vacation? Was their vacation rental nice? Did they have a good time? (I'd take the deal if I was allowed to work remotely 100% by my employer for the duration, or was on a long vacation at the time)
This April fools prank cost over 100k to front and shoot. Thats bonkers.
That's the biggest joke :D
Surely it's a tax write-off
sounds like they'll end up having to do it for real
@@dparnas yes that is what they said in the video
If people are being paid to be there for a full day.. that's a whole lot of labor to pay for
This is the most elaborate April fools prank in LTT history.
Saw the pfp, thought you were the actual jet lag for a sec
@@skelybrinegaming8497Same bro
Why is your PFP the jetlagged logo?
probably almost on the entirety of UA-cam
So far...
I feel it could have been funny if Linus did that video remotely with someone walking around with a laptop camera. Pretend he fled to Japan with LMGs money
Next year, when LMG recovers...
thats actually pretty funny tbh
This commitment to an April Fools bit is LEGENDARY
respect to david who wanted more in the work place and is now turning into management slowly. he taking the reigns and going with it.
The tenant was probably like “ehhh I’m not so sure about that…wait, how much?”
So long as they didn't have anything super valuable in their home, I feel like most people would go along with a completely paid for vacation if it just means trusting random people with most of your stuff
The concrete PC video 100% got me. That's the only one I had no idea about and I really thought was real. I feel dumb now. It was very well done
I'm glad they chose the more realistic direction, the network intricacy & seeing workstations active added a really great layer to the vid!

I like the idea that LMG has hired David solely for the April 1st videos
FML i was actually googling "is LMG broke" last night... after checking its net worth i gave up, was like nope it was a joke.
18:24 literally made me spit my water all over my monitor….. LOL took me by surprise, like diddy.
Watching the 6 months later, linus made a p diddy joke if only he knew what was to come this year
LTT Old Studio & Courtney and Shayne from Smosh Real Wedding announcement. Were the best April fools of 2024. Brains were fried.
Jake reviewing hardware in a hot tub is probably one of the best hardware reviews ever.
I clicked the hacked PS5 link knowing that I was going to get Rick rolled
Absolutely. I too fully expected it. What I didn't expect was the nr. 1 comment on the video being about the LTT video
Out house was used for a TV shoot once for a whole day (and one like 2h meeting before).
We got 1k € in Germany for that, lol.

Amount of effort, time and money spent on a joke 🤷♂. Props to the team and Linus. You are raising the bar.
My favourite is still the one with like 20+ sponsors
You should have had someone duct tape to the ceiling

My favourite is the potato farm one complete with merch that really did turn up in store. Love it that the videos have to be labelled april fools.
I just watched the old studio tour in the house last month. I almost died at the bathroom server XD
Why are these early comments so negative? The April Fools prank was hilarious! Who cares if it’s “obvious”
It takes the funny out of it when it's obvious.
They're just not fun people. It takes some amount of effort to find humor and fun in things.
