Only reason it's still online is because Linus is still trying to figure out how to delete a video from CZcams :/
Looll
Not to hard if he's that smart as they try to portray him as what a "PUTSNUGGET"
Im not sure if im getting r/wooshed if i say something so ill just stfu
Omg Ivan is back
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
,,They will buy everything with my name on it"
Community: give me that sentence on a T-Shirt please😶
I would buy one as well
I'd make that the first shirt i buy
im pretty sure its on crowd made already cause some dude turned that into a meme
I'll buy ur entire stock
Use code lttstore on your favourite game
I think the most underrated part of this joke is that everyone watching knows who the blacked out, anonymous people are
This is actually a really well made parody.
1st not April 2nd on wasthis i real isIt
@@A_person89 uh uh time zones
Ya lol
lol true
All clips of Luke are actually from old footages of him. The real Luke is, well... Let's just say he's in a better place now.
Source?
Wait what
the "luke" from the WAN shoe is a deep fake now
@@ultragaming9233 the name float plane... doesn't it ring any bells? Let's look at the first word: float. Like in mid air, high into the sky. Higher. Let's now look at the word plane. What can it mean? A plane of existence. We combine this to make: a higher plane of existence. What does it suggest? That Luke is dead. He has been killed by Lie-nus and is now replaced by a deepfake Luke that seems to be played by Riley
@@vali69 LUKE IS DEAD!!! HE DIED IN 1966, IN A CAR CRASH!!! AND WAS REPLACED!!!!
Plot twist, this was real but the author forgot it was april fools and now all his work is a meme
Given how it seems like the author is Denis... this makes way too much sense
StormCloud Hahahahahahaha
real plot twist, its April 2nd in Aus - making this real again!
Rex Xillian mine too
@@nahikoroad It's been the 2nd for two hours here in the UK too lol
Plot twist: This wasn’t meant to be released on the 1st of April
100% a joke
KAV12 FC Linus must be smarter than this video portrays if he managed to force this out early on April Fools day.
oh sh....
plot twist: They released to make feel a april fool joke, but is actually the truth '- lol
Lienus want to know ur Location
I came back to watch this after his OnlyFans reveal
Same
Same
Same
Same :D
Same but this my my first time seeing this
I love how they actually managed to fit in a sponsor
Two sponsors
moral of the story: never trust someone wearing socks with sandals
TRUE
Rule for life man, rule for life.
on april 1st
What about socks with crocs?
.........he says in the current age of EVERYONE wearing socks and sandals while working.
Everyone: haha april fools
Linus: perfectly planning out this video and intentionally uploading it so that no one suspects the actual truth
🤔🤔 it can be true
Big pp
I think we all figured it out instantly tho
that's a good one
@@shadowbruh8875 i can't....
there's no way this is a year old now, who sped up my clock?
5:14 maybe this was real footage
I wish they would've added something like
"and the real kicker, The Verge was the one who hired Linus to write the script!"
Okay, that would have been brilliant
Lmao
lol probably throw a fit and copy strike the video then
Lol
Wow. Big brain thinking right here!
Moral of the story: Never trust anyone wearing socks with sandals on April Fools' day
or any day ending in "y"
@@acubley or any day
@@acubley every day
So you say: Never trust a German over 40.
every time....
Isn't weird how the "witnesses" can't be seen, but we still know who they are? lol.
That is part of the joke
Usually you can see them in a previous shot
His ears are transparent
We clearly watch ltt tooo much to the point that we can recognize their voice 😂😂😂
I miss ivan
@@phinz8827 what happened to him?
Lol, I love watching Luke try to cry on cue. He looks like he's gotta go but about to laugh and terrified of what might happen. They should make a 20 minute video of just him trying to cry with no cutting away.
The original title of this video was “Anthony is actually the boss” he forced them to change it.
I mean, "anthony is actually the boss media group" doesn't have much of a ring to it. Not that LMG is much better...
Then again I'm just some idiot who CZcamss under their actual name.
The original name for the channel was actually Luke's Tech Tips but Linus was the one to register the account, you see.
Anthony is the boss of my heart. And my loins; I achingly long to be deep, deep, inside him.
“April Fools”
Nice April fools
oh god hes smart, he changed the title to use april fools as a cover. it would've been too suspicious if he'd actually taken down the video
lol
Guys it's a joke
@@cercizbatha9034 Yeah that comment was one too
Cerciz Batha r/woooosh
@@cercizbatha9034 are u fucking stupid?
"You know, if you just took the 30 seconds to learn how to do this, you wouldn't need my help all the time"
"Uh-huh, yeah, uh, what do you think I pay you for?"
Nobody:
Linus: Puts an add in an April-fools joke.
Ye he putted in cus people believed it
Either the sponsors, or Linus/the production team, or even both, have balls to include those sponsor segways
Later:
Ivan has been found dead, two shots at the back of the head
Police rule it as a suicide
Yvvone?
youve blew his cover you fool!
"He was found with 35 self inflicted backstab wounds according to the police. It was ruled as accident.
Oooh...Clintonesque!
Two shots to the back of the head: Suicide?
They are either not the police or are getting payed off.
the fact that i know all the silhouetted people tells me i've watched ltt for way too long
I could guess anyone by voice alone
Yeah it's kinda scary how easy it was for me
I only knew Riley but I mean, it was dead easy to tell from voice alone 😂
was that actually Ivan?
Me too bin here about 6 years now
The real April fools prank is that he got us to watch the ads by incorporating them into the story.
Episode 1 of $H!T Employees say about their Boss.
Dennis: records a video to expose the truth
Linus: finds out and releases it on april first
Stonks!
😱😱😱😱🤣
The April’s fool joke is that they record things in mp4
Whats the better option i am dumb
@@Yuri-27 .R3D is probably the best format but only if you have a RED camera

It just an April fools joke
xaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
"Subtle foreshadowing"
GN fangirls are funny, his viewership is dying 😂😂😂
this aged like milk
*PLOT TWIST ...*
Some people actually take this joke seriously
and start writing "Hit Pieces" on Linus.
Lie-nus*
Tbh I forgot it was April 1st and got had
The Verge maybe?
The pewdiepie treatment
And this extra snooping discovers that this video is in fact true and that Linus has been dead all along... directed by : M. night shyamalan
Guy: He hires people who know what they're doing and then he pays them to make it look like he knows what he's doing.
Jeff Bezos: *_Write that down_*
thats technically what he does though? lol
actually that is how things are done ... (u no what i mean)
That's the secret to business my friend
Elon Musk is more apt
dude its april fools dont u get it? XD
Saw the title in august 2023: Yelp
GN fangirls dont have anything better to do do they
sad miserable lives 😂
This aged well
They upload this on april fools, to trick everyone into thinking this isn't the truth.
big pp
Wait, they use reverse psychology
Linus is a good businessman, with the comedic strengths of misreading the prompter, butter fingers and general idiocy when it comes to the subject he is covering.
Chaython Meredith yea sure k

The controversy had nothing to do with Linus being a faker tho
How the turntables
Well well well
how about now?
GN Fangirls came in droves 7 months ago huh lmao
It must've been so hard for them to keep a straight face when recording this
At around 2min Linus can't keep a straight face
What do you mean straight face?! This is REAL!
ikr
Plot twist: This was real and posted on April 1st as a Disguise
redirection is key
Oh I forgot it's April first
Also I'm in Australia so it was April second here so I was worried as hell
@@m1nce972 Same as me too, it's April second here too. Man, that freaked me out
It's posted on April 2nd tho
Exactly
5:14 this bit didn't age well

Seems about right to return to this.
Linus isnt who you think he is.
5 seconds later:
WhO's ThE sPoNsOr AgAiN?
That’s exactly how I think he is

It's a like not I liked once an did when up 10

Oof
MrFlotate but he gives you other T I P S
🤣🤣🤣
I just made sure u have 69 likes lmao
He gives you sex tips
Me: Linus is a nice gu-
Linus: I'm gonna stop you right there
Little did we know, this was a warning
Imagine this is what actually happens and is not an April fools joke
no I dont want to imagine that
You are corect
it is a april fools
Well, we will never know.
No chance Hoffman it’s not I think 🤔
I love how they incorporated actual sponsored segments into their april fools video
and the lttstore.com promo. beautiful.
Same I was going to make the same comment and then I saw yours.
@@guybarros its almost as natural as breathing for Linus
Wait this was an April fools video?

first ever projection april fools prank
even when they tried painting him as a scumbag at moments you could tell he was just a wholesome short dude wearing socks and sandles.

Sponsors dropping Linus like he drops tech? Not surprising, really.
*For anyone who came to this vid after April first, the title was "The Truth about LinusTechTips - EXPOSED" without the "(April Fools 2020)" bit.*
Edit: For some reason people don't know this comment is a joke so to everyone in the replies r/woosh
thanks CAP!
they do that for all their april fools video
Btw it is a April fool right ?
Bcs I saw a lot of comments saying it's real but I don't think so
Man, if they say from the start that this is an April Fool, who will watch? Who will get fooled by this? No one
So why would they say this from the start? It doesn't even make sense
The sad thing is that there are people that really think that a obvious joke like that isn't a joke
this aged poorly
Very poorly lol
So everyone is gonna ignore the fact that puberty finally hit Linus and now he has facial hair?
kek
The most surprising part of the whole video
maybe thats the april fools joke
@@jarco-dev the fake beard?
No its just tomato sauce
Can confirm. Just did a collab with him -- even I knew more about building PC's!
What if you’ve been lying too.... :P
Can't believe anyone now!
If I'll see face to face then only i gonna believe
LOL

@@theundeadsqwerl8017 Have you not seen the hearing device in his ear to walk him through everything?
The ad spot integrations on this video were genius. It wasn't until the second one that I realized what happened
The acting was so good I actually believed this. Now it's engraved in my head :(
Intro showing Linus dropping stuff:
*Accurate*
Almost makes the April's fool joke believable.
Or is it Linus, or actually a stunt double with Linus' face Photoshopped on top Running Man style. I mean, socks and sandles, dropping things, and he seriously still has feet?!? Think about it! ;-)
This video would have been even more believable if "Lie-nus" was shown as a mac-os fan 😅😂😅😂
:v
I'm not sure even for this he could fake that
@Michael Gorry no true member of the PCMR could fake that
Isn't he though?
That would have been gold!
And this video is why I watch Linus Tech Tips lol Being able to laugh at yourselves and joke around like this is what makes you guys relatable to the audience. Thank you for the uploads and this excellent piece of comic relief. Stay safe guys ;)
Now we know...
"Where did he touch you?"
"In the office"
;-;
The sponsor for this april's fools episode should have been RAID: SHADOW LEGENDS!
That is dead
facts
Man yes. For real!
Except they legit have taken Raid Sponsorships.
that would've been perfect
It is missing a line about selling, sorry, auctioning other peoples property
Loved Ivan's voice in the beginning
He made a Guest appearance
When he said, “They're too stupid to figure it out! They'll buy anything with my name on it!”

I cant imagine how many times Linus actually told his staff 'Sorry' while they were filming this. Must've been kinda painful for him.
the amount of sorries per second would be thru the roof. when he kicked that "script" I was like NO HE DIINT
(Apologies in advance the Canadians that I may offend) Linus is clearly a true blooded Canadian.

@@vickymns You'll get there. When this pandemic is over, look for ways you can save up some money. Maybe your parents will pay for some chores they need done, or you can get a job at a fast food restaurant over the summer. I am 33, and I just bought my first gaming PC. I still couldn't afford a top of the line, but I was able to get a GTX 1660 TI. Best PC I ever had. Just be willing to miss out on some things to save up.
@@velocibadgery lol my first pc cost me 17 dollars, then I sold it for 45 with a 5 dollar junk monitor, waited about a month and used an old Lenovo pc I bought for 25 dollars and some ati card for 10, coupled with a junk keyboard, mouse and monitor and sold that for 75, It all just kept going from there, its really not hard to flip things at least where I live, I started when I was 9 or 10. Although I had severe anxiety whenever someone came over to buy something from me, always felt as if I was gonna be abducted.
@@vickymns second hand market goes a long way when you're broke

So he’s a cat...
A better plot twist.. That's an obvious April fools video
Not much of plot twist
Ltt: Try to make an April fools joke.

People on gmt +3 or higher: Its april 2nd wtf
daaamn here I am in UTC+2 thinking "that was close to the 2nd"
After 11:00 UTC.... times up, no more poisson d'avril.
Its 12pm/0:01 in Germany lol
That's what happened in India
yeah lmao, Australian here>

"Lie-nus doesn't know a thing about building computers"

As long as he has an allan wrench and a pair of tweezers he should be good to go
Meta lmao
Hey, I guess you did fell for the plan as today's April fools and if only you have seen the techlinked episode you would have known.
It all makes sense now, he needs all this database storage so he can keep he's extra footage due to the fact that he is cutting scenes all the time. I EXPOSED HIM GUYS 😎
xD
TAKE THAT ATHEISTS!
Big Brain!
Having watched this again and also The Boys in Amazon Prime, I see SO MANY SIMILARITIES TO VOUGHT's The Seven, like how they switch their behavior during and after doing a shoot. Still love this to thus day

"He hires people who know what they're doing, and then he pays them to make it look like he knows what he's doing" -- isn't this what all CEOs and executives do?
april fools joke
That's a legitimately accurate description of Elon Musk
The main job of most CEOs is to secure that the money is flowing into the company, so that he can green lit buying cameras for 40k.
Charles Milner I literally read this comment as he was saying it what a coincidence. It was super weird 🤣🤣
That's called, the business plan...
The true question is:
Who actually is the sponsor of this video?
iFixit or Freshbooks?
Why not both?
Abhinav Das both
The description has both
Sometimes they have two sponsors.
@@DmC944 Fresh Fix-It!

you are so smart
yea

April fools: The beard was spray painted on
why da hel does this comment not have tons of likes???

Yh all the voicesa
Right. I love this video.
Hihici
I still wonder if the sponsors were one for this as well - especially freshbooks: "now they send me the check, right?"
That sponsorship workin at the end was smooth
Can't ignore the proof staring me in the face.

Holy shit ur right
i actually like the beard

They hired a stand-in for that take. ;)
That moment Luke was going for a cry, but clearly went into laughing after the cut haha
