Also, it helps them boost brand recall without spending much on advertising. In our previous blog on April Fool’s Day 2025 commercials, we analyzed some of these campaigns. However, there’s only so much that one can cover in a blog.

So, here we are with another blog on 5 impressive April Fool’s Day 2025 commercials that turned jokes into pure marketing gold. Let’s dive in.

1. Yahoo: Touch The Grass Keyboard

Office life is such that one gets stuck in the endless loop of video calls, meeting invites, and emails. If you are trying to escape the digital noise, Yahoo has got you covered with its Yahoo Agricultural Interface, which lets you touch grass- literally!

Yahoo’s ‘grass keyboard’ has 87 hand-placed tufts of turf, which allow users to experience the outdoors right from their desk, which means they don’t ever need to log off. Sounds too good to be true? It’s not! The grass keyboard actually works- it connects via USB and can be bought on Yahoo’s TikTok Shop for $19.95.

So, are you ready to let the outdoors come to you?

2. Virgin Australia: Emotional Baggage Allowance

Virgin Australia has continued its tradition of launching hilarious April Fool’s Day campaigns year after year with yet another wonderful advert.

The funny spot shows the airline offering travelers the chance to check in more than just their luggage– they can also leave their emotional baggage in the hands of Virgin Australia crew. The ad is a tongue-in-cheek jibe at the 2024 eHarmony survey that revealed that 47% of participants acknowledge carrying emotional baggage.

Is your emotional baggage too heavy to carry? You can always enlist Virgin Australia’s help!

3. Journelle: Mood-Matching Lingerie

New York-based luxury lingerie brand Journelle has developed somewhat of a knack for delivering hilarious April Fool’s Day campaigns.

The brand has launched a Mood-Matching Lingerie collection that changes color based on your mood. Not sure which colors tell if you’re in the mood or not! In case you are wondering if this is only a prank, think again. When Journelle teased men’s lace lingerie on April Fool’s Day in 2020, it actually began offering men's lingerie later in the year and it even became a top-selling category.

So, if you want to spice up things in the bedroom, Journelle’s decision to take its Mood-Matching Lingerie collection beyond pranks could be the game-changer for you!

4. Nutella: Nutella BnB

Are you fond of Nutella? Yes? Imagine a vacation where you can immerse yourself in a Nutella-shaped house, complete with hazelnut and cocoa-scented sheets, croissant pillows, Nutella pool floaties, a waffle maker, and a machine that dispenses the chocolate hazelnut spread.

All of that is possible in this Nutella BnB– a home rental in Lake Placid, New York. Sadly, the rental isn’t taking any bookings. You can try your luck again next year on 29th February!

5. Whisker: Cat Pu Scented Candle 

Pet tech and refined pet accessories manufacturer Whisker released a funny yet gross April Fool’s Day advert to advertise its Cat Pu Scented Candle.

The candle promises a primal, litter-box-inspired scent. However, it actually smells like roses. The ad also informs customers about the product availability for only a limited time. So, are you ready to take your love for cats to a whole new level?
