THE TRUTH BEHIND EMOJIS

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    (girlish voice) How come
    there aren't any emojis
  • 0:02 - 0:04
    of hot emo boys making out?
  • 0:04 - 0:05
    (Ian) SHUT UP!!!
  • 0:07 - 0:11
    In 1998, Shigetaka Kurita
    used the first emoji.
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    (gong booms)
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    Ten years later, Apple held
    a top secret meeting
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    to develop emojis for their products.
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    The following is
    a completely accurate
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    historical reenactment
    of what took place.
  • 0:22 - 0:25
    (Steve Jobs) Thank you all
    for attending my secret meeting
  • 0:25 - 0:26
    on such short notice.
  • 0:26 - 0:31
    Before we begin, let us all pray
    to the Great Apple in the Sky.
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    (all mutter incoherently)
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    Okay, shut up.
    That's enough.
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    Here's the deal, folks.
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    Whenever I send a text message
    to my lovely mother,
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    auto-correct always f*cks it up!
  • 0:43 - 0:47
    So I was thinking we need
    a universal language
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    that cannot be misinterpreted,
    and that's where I came up
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    with these weird little picture thingies.
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    I call them Apple iPics.
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    Those already exist
    and they're called emojis.
  • 1:01 - 1:04
    You know, I was just thinking
    that maybe instead
  • 1:04 - 1:07
    I should call them emojis!
  • 1:07 - 1:08
    I just said that.
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    Anybody have any ideas
    for some more emojis?
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    Yes, annoying guy in the front
    with all the logic?
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    Well, I think it would be nice
    to have all ethnicities
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    represented with their own emoji.
  • 1:22 - 1:25
    Oh my god, that is
    the most boring thing I've ever heard.
  • 1:25 - 1:26
    Uh, next?
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    Four pages of smiley faces,
    so I can show how I'm feeling
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    because I'm a normal guy
    and I can't express emotion.
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    (laughs) I can't either!
    That's great.
  • 1:34 - 1:34
    Next?
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    Seven different kissy faces
    because I'm a girl
  • 1:37 - 1:40
    and I wanna confuse the sh*t outta guys.
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    #MixedSignals.
  • 1:42 - 1:43
    I love that.
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    You know, I'm designing
    something called the iCloud,
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    just to confuse
    the sh*t out of people too.
  • 1:48 - 1:49
    Next?
  • 1:49 - 1:50
    How 'bout a ram!
  • 1:50 - 1:51
    Great! Next?
  • 1:51 - 1:53
    How 'bout we re-create
    a bunch of the smiley faces,
  • 1:53 - 1:54
    but as cats.
  • 1:54 - 1:55
    Of-fricking-course!
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    And maybe we can do
    smileys with dogs too.
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    No! F*ck dogs!
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    How 'bout another ram?
  • 2:02 - 2:03
    Okay, what is it with you and rams?
  • 2:03 - 2:07
    My friend just really likes them, okay?
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    Reggie, just throw it in there,
    the ram for the man.
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    Throw in another ram for the man.
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    Okay, seriously, there are two races
    outside of white people
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    represented, but they
    all pretty much look white!
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    I mean, is this dude with the turban
    supposed to represent
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    all people other than white people?
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    What about a ghost?
    A ghost can be any race.
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    Oh my god.
  • 2:26 - 2:28
    Uh, excuse me, but this
    top secret lair is booked
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    for my Train Appreciation Club at 12:30.
  • 2:31 - 2:32
    That's my bad.
    I'm sorry.
  • 2:33 - 2:35
    Hey, by the way, we can't
    really think of any more emojis
  • 2:35 - 2:38
    because these people
    aren't geniuses like you and I.
  • 2:38 - 2:39
    Do you have any ideas?
  • 2:40 - 2:41
    13 different trains!
  • 2:41 - 2:44
    Now why the f*ck would we
    need that many trains?
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    Oh, looks like we got
    a train racist over here, huh?
  • 2:47 - 2:50
    You just think all trains
    look the same, don't you?
  • 2:50 - 2:53
    Well, see, you're gonna need
    a steam powered train,
  • 2:53 - 2:56
    a bullet train, a slightly speedier
    looking bullet train,
  • 2:56 - 2:59
    one with the flat front,
    a monorail train,
  • 2:59 - 3:02
    a trolley train,
    a trolley trail with the...
  • 3:02 - 3:05
    slight thingie...whatever this is.
    It's a little bit different on top.
  • 3:05 - 3:07
    And then we got a front facing train.
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    That same front facing train
    going next to a sign,
  • 3:09 - 3:12
    and a train going through a tunnel
    for when I need to make
  • 3:12 - 3:13
    a sexual reference to my wife.
  • 3:13 - 3:14
    Eh? Eh?
  • 3:14 - 3:16
    I mean, I could go on for days.
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    - Sold!
    - Come on!
  • 3:18 - 3:20
    Guys, we got about
    a minute left, so...
  • 3:21 - 3:22
    Lightning round!
  • 3:22 - 3:23
    A purple devil.
  • 3:23 - 3:24
    A huge building with a BK on it.
  • 3:24 - 3:26
    A bloody syringe.
  • 3:26 - 3:27
    A padlock with the tip of an ink pen!
  • 3:27 - 3:30
    A moon that looks he
    wants to molest youuu!
  • 3:30 - 3:31
    Fruit that looks like a butt.
  • 3:31 - 3:34
    A flag for all ten countries of the world.
  • 3:34 - 3:35
    Listen!
  • 3:35 - 3:36
    I don't really know what it is.
  • 3:36 - 3:37
    A VHS tape.
  • 3:37 - 3:38
    A pager.
  • 3:38 - 3:39
    Maybe another--
  • 3:39 - 3:40
    NO!
  • 3:40 - 3:42
    Focus, people.
  • 3:42 - 3:45
    We only need one more emoji,
    so let's make it good.
  • 3:45 - 3:46
    Come on, guys!
  • 3:46 - 3:50
    We finally have a chance
    to represent every ethnicity
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    equally with a universal language.
  • 3:52 - 3:56
    This will bring everybody together
    and could change the world.
  • 3:56 - 3:59
    This could be the first step
    to world peace.
  • 4:01 - 4:02
    You know what?
    He's right.
  • 4:02 - 4:05
    Wouldn't you represent
    every race, color, and creed
  • 4:05 - 4:07
    with these emojis?
    So what better way
  • 4:07 - 4:10
    to do that then to include
    the most underrepresented race
  • 4:10 - 4:11
    of all time!
  • 4:12 - 4:15
    Santa Claus!
  • 4:15 - 4:17
    F-ck you, you smiling piles of sh-t!
  • 4:18 - 4:21
    Wait, no!
    That's just it.
  • 4:22 - 4:23
    You're a genius, man.
  • 4:24 - 4:25
    Our final emoji...
  • 4:26 - 4:29
    will be a smiling pile of sh*t.
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    (scary music)
  • 4:31 - 4:33
    (Anthony) Hey, guys,
    thanks so much for watching
  • 4:33 - 4:34
    and make sure to hit
    that big ass yellow button
  • 4:34 - 4:36
    if you aren't already subscribed.
    It will totally make you feel
  • 4:36 - 4:39
    like that cool emoji with the sunglasses.
    You know, the one...
  • 4:39 - 4:41
    the...you...yeah.
  • 4:41 - 4:43
    (Ian) If you guys wanna see
    bloopers from this video
  • 4:43 - 4:46
    and a deleted scene,
    click the video on the left.
  • 4:46 - 4:49
    I tried to send my mom
    a simple text message
  • 4:49 - 4:51
    and auto-correct always f*cked it up.
  • 4:51 - 4:52
    Look at this.
  • 4:52 - 4:54
    This is the message
    I sent my mom last week.
  • 4:54 - 4:57
    (Ian) And if you wanna see more of me
    being a really bad Steve Jobs,
  • 4:57 - 5:00
    click the video on the right
    to watch our iPhone 6 commercial.
  • 5:00 - 5:03
    We've made the greatest
    enhancements to iOS
  • 5:03 - 5:05
    since the beginning.
    All Samsung Galaxy phones
  • 5:05 - 5:08
    within a 50 foot radius
    will burst into flames.
  • 5:08 - 5:09
    AAAH!
  • 5:09 - 5:10
    (screaming)
  • 5:11 - 5:13
