Since its inception, Netflix has become a staple in many people's everyday lives. A "staple" that prevents them from showering, sleeping and seeing the light of day, or their friends, for that matter. The Netflix April Fools PSA seeks to rehabilitate those long-lost relationships with friends and family, along with their state of personal hygiene. Celebrities such as Orange is the New Black's Taylor Schilling and Bloodline's Linda Cardellini pour their hearts out in this hilarious [April Fool's joke](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innocean-berlin).
