The best part is that even the companies call it like that now.

For example :

Pope Francis had a lot more sense of humour than John Paul II. Francis would do pope jokes. I'd be highly surprised he objected to "popemobile".

Yeah imo the pope should be one of if not the most relatable popular figure, and humor is the easiest way to do that

John Paul II was very relatable during his time, but during that time there just wasn't that much room for humor. He was more concerned with Soviets occupying his homeland so he often spoke of that but he was still quite a social person.
