I would be worried the drivers are incapacitated by pissing themselves with laughter.

Live the last one

Those pizza cutters would sell so well I wouldn't be surprised if they went into production 😀

The brake one is genius, so much brilliant detail that only a biker would get 😆

I would say real on account of it being a little offensive if it was done as a joke lol

Rusty - have a look at the Superstar Components feed on Facebook, I think you'll appreciate their gag.

Can't post it here as it's just an FB post.

So, I was having a little bit of a lie in this morning, fast asleep. My six year old daughter came into our room and climbed into bed next to me. "Dad, dad" she says quietly. "Whatyouwant?" I mumble grumpily. "Dad, I'm really scared". "Er?". "I think I saw a mouse in my room". "What?". "I think I saw a mouse". "O bugger" I thought. So I got up an started having a look round her room. "Where did you see it?". "I think it went under my bed". I look a bit better round her bed and find a few droppings. Shit. After shouting a bit about no one being allowed food anywhere but in the kitchen I continue searching and find some more droppings on the landing. Bollocks. At this point I notice that my daughter, still in my bed, now appears to be shaking. I go over to her, thinking it's cos she is scared, only for her to break down laughing. It transpires that this was a plot she had hatched, presumably under encouragement from my wife, yesterday to get me for April Fools day. The droppings were squashed and rolled raisins.
Families... they sure are annoying!

I like that NSMB one - subtle which is how it should be. I particularly like the line

29er riders need to be on their own trails. The deep grooves that those pie cutters dig and the blown out corners are bad news.

Our five year old came home from school yesterday and told his Mum "Tomorrow's Joke Day Mummy." When asked to expand on this statement, he explained "I'm going to go in the fridge, get some butter and put it on the floor so you slip and hurt yourself." 😯
