00:00If you can't tell by my face already, I'm actually in a very bad mood.
00:03And the reason is because I was just watching a video only to find out that it was actually fake.
00:07And I realized that this happens to me a lot.
00:09I'm always watching a video and then it turns out to be fabricated in some sense.
00:13And so what did I do to plot my revenge against these terrible people?
00:15Well, I compiled a list of every single viral video that you thought was real but is actually fake.
00:20That's right, so this video is going to be a complete expose so nobody gets duped again.
00:24So here we go.
00:25The title of this video says exactly what happens here,
00:27but this GoPro falls off a drone into the Burning Man dance floor.
00:30And then you'll see what happens.
00:31But just keep in mind this entire video is fake.
00:34So you think this is cool?
00:35Oh my gosh, it's a drone over the Burning Man festival.
00:37There's like tens of thousands of people there.
00:39And then you'll see all of a sudden something happened to it.
00:42It malfunctions.
00:42It goes down.
00:44Oh no, the GoPro gets hit off its drone, falls to the ground.
00:47And what do you know?
00:48Look what happens.
00:49People are walking by and this guy decides to pick it up and now he's vlogging.
00:53But guess what?
00:54This isn't actually as spontaneous as you think.
00:56This is a complete lie planned by GoPro
00:58because they wanted to basically talk about how shareable the GoPro is.
01:02How you could just pass it around, film whatever, and it all makes sense.
01:05So this entire thing was scripted.
01:06Could have fooled me.
01:07Another video that's actually uploaded by the same exact account, Terry Tufferson.
01:10So we're seeing a theme here, Terry.
01:12And it's Stormtrooper falls downstairs on the way to Star Wars premiere.
01:15Now you're probably thinking to yourself,
01:17okay, like obviously this is fake.
01:18Like why would they just happen to be recording at this moment?
01:21Well, maybe you should ask these 12 million people eight years ago who also believe this.
01:24Sometimes the best promotion is a staged one.
01:31I have to say that looks like it hurts though.
01:34And just like a true Stormtrooper, he prevails.
01:37I want to say he's a stunt double.
01:39Maybe that's why he's able to fall so gracefully,
01:41even though it didn't look super gracefully.
01:42But the point being, if you want to basically construct a viral video,
01:45you just need to sacrifice yourself.
01:47Don't do that.
01:47Another video that was fake, again, by Terry Tufferson.
01:5021 million views and it's crazy guy runs into the Outback Tornado to take a selfie.
01:55So I'm sure there's a lot of tornadoes that happen in the Outback.
01:59Any flat planes with a lot of dust, it's going to happen.
02:02And you know what?
02:02It's an Australian, so it makes sense that he would actually do this.
02:05And he gets closer and closer to it because he just wants to get a good selfie.
02:08Again, I don't advise doing this.
02:10There he is.
02:11Now, what would happen if you actually got caught in a tornado?
02:13It seems like he's flying.
02:14Is that like what we're supposed to believe here?
02:16Oh, so right now he's in the eye of the tornado,
02:18which I think is the safest spot.
02:20Or maybe that's the eye of the hurricane.
02:21All right.
02:22And then it's all passed.
02:23So he's good now.
02:24Fake video.
02:25All right, here we have a video.
02:25It's a short $250,000 car gets windshield smashed by kid on a skateboard.
02:30So you'll see a, I think that's a Lamborghini rolling up.
02:33And then the car is honking at somebody.
02:37And if you heard that thud, it's because he hit it with a skateboard.
02:40He's running away.
02:41And the Lamborghini has a crack in it now.
02:43So that kid got really upset.
02:44And then he put a massive hole into the car, into the windshield.
02:48But the good news is that the video is fake.
02:49This guy's car is okay because this entire thing was a skit.
02:52A lot of people may have seen this video, especially if you're Australian.
02:55But this is the hilarious reaction from boyfriend when lightning bolt hits in Sydney.
02:59Hey baby, slow down.
03:00Hey baby, slow down.
03:01I love the subtitles for Australians.
03:04Might be a top tier accent out there.
03:06Get on the rocks, baby.
03:07It's dangerous at the end.
03:11Oh my God, baby.
03:13The bloody Lord and the Lord just missed you.
03:16Holy bloody Mara God.
03:17Jesus.
03:18My God, baby.
03:19Come back.
03:20Now, I don't doubt that Australians talk like that.
03:22I'm pretty positive when they're upset.
03:24I mean, tell me if you're Australian watching this.
03:25This is almost certainly what you say.
03:27Like Americans will say or something.
03:29But then you guys will do all that stuff.
03:30But the video, it's, I mean, the lightning's fake.
03:33They're probably not even dating.
03:34Obviously, like, this guy's an actor and the subtitles kind of speak to it even further.
03:38This video's fake is the point being.
03:40But still pretty good.
03:41But don't be fooled.
03:42Now, this video has garnered 11.1 million views at the time of posting, which was about
03:4610 years ago.
03:47And it's Pig Rescues Baby Goat.
03:49Sounds like a very heartwarming video.
03:50You're probably thinking, how's that even possible?
03:52We'll take a look.
03:53So there's that baby goat, the poor thing.
03:55And then all of a sudden, we have a pig being pushing it to the shore.
03:58Look at that pig.
03:59Wonderful.
04:00And then they both escape together.
04:02Yeah, I mean, that pig's an absolute hero.
04:04You wouldn't think that a pig would jump into a water to save a baby goat.
04:07I feel like they're kind of competitors on the farm.
04:09But it turns out that this video was a fake.
04:11And it was done by Nathan Fielder for the show Nathan For You.
04:14Next up, we have a video of somebody capturing something as rare as a UFO.
04:17And that is Bigfoot.
04:18So this guy was snowboarding in the Pacific Northwest.
04:21I think near like Oregon.
04:22And they apparently caught Bigfoot.
04:24This is actually just a CGI video.
04:26All right.
04:26So right off the bat, we have shaky footage.
04:29Now we're going to take a peek into the forest here.
04:32All right.
04:33And then very grainy.
04:34But you do see some sort of bipedaled animal that is walking on two feet right there.
04:40Now that could be anything.
04:41That could be a guy in a Bigfoot costume.
04:43It could be a monkey.
04:44It could also just be a human, like a hairy human.
04:46I feel like people are discounting the fact that some people have that disease where they
04:49just become like super hairy people.
04:51So it could be any of that.
04:52But the point being, this video is fake.
04:54We don't know who it actually is in the video, but it's not Bigfoot.
04:56Unfortunately, I'm sorry.
04:57Next up is a popular video from the YouTuber FoozieTube.
05:00If you aren't aware of who he is, he's like a prankster.
05:02He also streams on Kick now, I believe.
05:04And you've probably seen clips of this exact thing we're about to watch.
05:06It's called the Mortal Kombat elevator prank in which people would come into the elevator.
05:10And then he would do a bunch of stuff.
05:11But the issue is that this video is not actually a prank.
05:14I wanted to believe this so much when I was younger, when I was watching this.
05:17I was like, oh, this is a really cool prank.
05:19So you'll see.
05:19And then the moment they shut the door, they realize they're trapped with an insane person.
05:27So every single one of these interactions is fake.
05:29Now he's going to be on the other side of it.
05:31The door is going to open and you'll see Foozie coming in hot.
05:36And obviously this is all fake.
05:37I have to say, some of these reactions are pretty good.
05:39I think Foozie himself acknowledged that this video was fake.
05:41And also like 90% of all other prank videos back in the day.
05:45Which is sad because you think these like cool social experiments were like legit.
05:48But unfortunately they're not.
05:49Sorry to ruin your childhood.
05:50All right, next up we have a video for an Aston Martin commercial from Kobe Bryant.
05:54And you've probably seen this before.
05:55It's pretty ridiculous.
05:56So there's Kobe.
05:57He's gearing up to do something incredible.
05:58If you haven't seen this, you're about to be shocked.
06:00And what is he getting ready for?
06:01Well, Kobe is getting ready to jump over the Aston Martin.
06:06And you're probably thinking it's believable because it's Kobe Bryant.
06:08Of course he could do it.
06:09But the issue, Kobe, is that it didn't actually happen.
06:12The whole video was CGI'd.
06:13I mean, he was on like a $40 million yearly contract with the NBA.
06:16Why would the Lakers allow him to do a stunt like this?
06:19And it's because it's not actually real.
06:20Now we could do some deep diving into the CGI behind this.
06:23Which I've always liked doing.
06:25Because I think as an investigator, it's worth doing.
06:27So as we could see here, the car.
06:30You're clipping two things together.
06:32And so what's happening here is that Kobe isn't actually jumping over the car.
06:36It's just like the way that the perception is occurring.
06:39Like he's probably behind or in front of the car.
06:42I don't know how it works exactly.
06:43But he's not actually jumping over the car is the point.
06:45So Kobe lied.
06:46So did Aston Martin.
06:47But I think it's meant to be like a lie.
06:49You know, I don't think that anybody believed it was real.
06:50And speaking of other basketball lies, LeBron James is also a liar.
06:53Because he participated in this commercial that is actually a fake video of him taking
06:57full court jump shots, making five in a row.
07:00I mean, look at that arc on that.
07:02He would have to have like the arm strength of like Randy Johnson to...
07:05Yeah, there we go.
07:06Bam.
07:09Another one.
07:11Another one.
07:11Back it up.
07:12Yeah, that's five in a row.
07:14You're probably thinking to yourself, of course that's fake.
07:16But a lot of people believed it back in the day.
07:17Sticking on the athlete theme, we have Evan Longoria.
07:20Used to be the third baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays.
07:22He's a really good player.
07:23And so there's this video that came out in which 21 million people believe this to be
07:27true.
07:27And it's him being interviewed by this reporter on the sideline.
07:30And then you'll see what happens.
07:31You know, it's been...
07:36So you'll see that this guy hits a foul ball.
07:40And Evan Longoria, using his Spider-Man instinct, catches it to save the reporter.
07:44Shakes off his hand and says, keep it on the field, guys.
07:47What a stud.
07:47Except it's fake.
07:48I think nowadays people recognize it's fake.
07:50But back then, I mean, even top comments here.
07:52His instincts, reaction speed, and pure skill just blows me away.
07:55That was awesome.
07:56This next video is called Mega Woosh Bruno Camaro Jumps.
07:59And this video has 7 million views.
08:01But again, 14 years ago, everybody was duped.
08:03So it's this guy with a massive slip and slide going down some like Irish mountain or something.
08:09Actually, he's definitely American.
08:10And there he goes, gaining a lot of velocity until he ultimately, and YouTube, by the way,
08:15this video is fake, launches into a pool.
08:18This video, I know that this was being replayed on ESPN Top 10 Plays.
08:22Like this was just, yeah, there we go.
08:23It's so unbelievable.
08:24I don't know how they did that, though.
08:25I guess he was already in there, and then they just CGI'd a body going through.
08:29Yeah, cheering him on.
08:30I don't know what's more fake, that or Kobe jumping over the Aston Martin.
08:33Now, whenever you see video quality that's this low, I mean, the video is likely to be fake.
08:36But again, this one came out, I think, 20 years ago.
08:39It was a very early video of a giant spider walking on the street.
08:43So there it is right there.
08:44Because they didn't have CGI back then.
08:45Like, there it is.
08:46A little spider.
08:47This guy even follows it up.
08:48Like, you'll see.
08:49I mean, it's definitely there.
08:50There's something there.
08:51There's a spider.
08:52Nobody's even, it's like, he's just a citizen of the country walking by.
08:55A lot of people speculate that it's a rat or that it was a little dog that somebody just
08:59photoshopped a bit smaller.
09:00If I saw that on the street, would I run?
09:01Maybe.
09:02I don't think once something's that big, you could just step on it.
09:04I feel like that'd be kind of rude.
09:05But that video is fake.
09:06I think it looks like it's happening maybe in the Netherlands.
09:09Shout out to my editor.
09:09And speaking of spiders, there's a realistic spider toy that people thought was a real spider.
09:14And it spits out this liquid poison.
09:16So you'll see right there, like, Spider-Man just putting a bunch of fluids in this AC,
09:21which is then going to be used to be breathed in by the people.
09:25So everyone's going to become Spider-Man, basically.
09:27I mean, of course this is fake.
09:28It's a toy.
09:29But a lot of people thought this was real.
09:30This person even says that this is computer animation.
09:33So it's not even a toy, which actually I think is a lot more logical.
09:36So I think even the proposed solution to this video was also fake.
09:40So everything's just fake.
09:42This next video has circulated quite a lot from a theme park in Korea.
09:45It's called Lotte World.
09:47And this one particular ride is called Gyro Drop.
09:50And you're going to see what it is.
09:51And you're going to be thanking God that this doesn't actually exist.
09:53But this was a fake video.
09:54Everybody used to think this was real.
09:55So keep your eye on the big one.
09:57See, it just expands dong, becomes even more massive.
10:00And at first it looks like a normal frogger ride, just spinning.
10:04Until that happens.
10:05Who in their right mind would want to go on a ride that does that?
10:09That's not even fun.
10:10That might be the least fun thing you could possibly engage with.
10:13A ride like that.
10:14I just want to know who's responsible for making that too.
10:16Because that's quite well done.
10:17I think it was a little fast.
10:18Like you could tell a little bit.
10:20And then it just defies all gravity and just free falls.
10:23And then it closes back up.
10:24So luckily that's fake.
10:26Next up we have the Iscarian Stairwell.
10:28I'm sure you've seen this video.
10:29Maybe you've seen an optical illusion of this kind.
10:31But just watch what happens.
10:33It's like a Harry Potter building.
10:34You'll see this has like the nine and three quarters theme to it.
10:37The stairwell designed by Filipino architect Raphael Nelson of Uganda.
10:41You can't do that.
10:42That's not how physics works.
10:43If you go up, you have to come down somehow.
10:46You can't just spawn two flights of stairs lower than what you climbed.
10:49It's just not.
10:49Unfortunately, that's not how it works.
10:50I wish it's how it worked, but it's not.
10:52Here's a video with 15 million views 13 years ago.
10:55And it's basically a man who decided to walk on water.
10:58Or better off, run on water.
10:59And so what they say is that if you run fast enough, you could basically avoid breaking the surface tension
11:04of water.
11:05And then you could basically just kind of like, you know, skirt across it like Jesus or Criss Angel.
11:09And here's the moment in which he ultimately, using his water repellent suit, does it.
11:15And he gets pretty far.
11:16And you're probably thinking, how is this possible?
11:18Well, he used a clear underwater platform in which he just suspended for the first couple of feet in the
11:24water.
11:24When you see him running here, there's a platform, platform, and then the platform drops off right around there.
11:29And that's when he falls in.
11:30And this guy's running a little bit to the right of it to then show people like, oh, he could
11:33do it and I can.
11:34So he knows how to do it.
11:35But reality is, he just didn't go on the platform.
11:38Feels good to expose these people.
11:39But this one is the most popular fake video of them all.
11:42And it's GoPro man fights off great white shark in the Sydney Harbor.
11:4544 million views.
11:47And it's in Australia, so I could see why people think this was legit.
11:49So here he is in the Sydney Harbor.
11:51Hello, mate.
11:52Gearing up, ready to go.
11:53Okay, so he takes a little cliff dive there.
11:55And while he's in the water in the Sydney Harbor, where there almost certainly would not be a shark,
12:00he goes underwater only to find a great white shark.
12:05And I mean, he's rightfully scared.
12:07I mean, I would be too.
12:08Like, what do you do in this situation?
12:10Well, he's Australian.
12:11And so the only thing to do if you're Australian when you encounter an animal like this is to fight
12:15back.
12:16So in true Australian man fashion, as the shark gets close, he basically scares it off.
12:21And then after scaring it off, he's able to escape to the shore unharmed.
12:24And as a viewer, you're thinking that you've just watched the craziest video of all time.
12:28Some man basically scaring off a great white shark.
12:30And then you think about it and you're like, well, why would there be great white sharks in the Sydney
12:33Harbor?
12:33And then you think about, oh, it's Terry Tufferson who uploaded this video.
12:37He's had some fake videos in the past, so he must be behind this.
12:41And he was.
12:42And we were all fooled.
12:43I actually lied to you because this video is the most popular fake video on the internet with 46 million
12:48views.
12:48And it's a golden eagle snatching a kid.
12:51I also find it funny that this video is age restricted as if this actually happened, but it didn't.
12:55So YouTube, if you're watching this, you guys have made a mistake because this is an animation, CGI in fact,
12:59done by three college kids.
13:00So there's the golden eagle taking the baby.
13:04And of course, the camera goes down at a very convenient time because they're probably doing some adjusting, putting the
13:08eagle in the sky now.
13:09I mean, luckily the baby was rescued too, so I guess that the dad ran over and snatched it from
13:13the eagle.
13:14So here's a little slow motion of this.
13:15It looks very real.
13:17So the eagle looks like it literally snatched up the baby.
13:19I mean, that's exactly how that would happen.
13:21And then with its talons, begins flying away.
13:23And then this guy, I mean, this is well done.
13:25I mean, I hope these people are now working for Marvel.
13:27Then the baby drops.
13:28Okay, so I thought the dad snatched it back, but the baby just dropped.
13:31Cool video, fake video.
13:32So here's a video that used to freak out a lot of people.
13:34And it's a robot walking in a driveway.
13:36And you can see it looks pretty real.
13:39Very like ex machina like.
13:41And he's just walking by.
13:42And so people, again, like the internet back then thought this was a real person, like a real robot.
13:46But it wasn't.
13:47Guess what it was?
13:48It was a person in a suit.
13:49But even so, it kind of doesn't look like a person because the thighs are too skinny.
13:53And like you can see like the outside of the hips, there's like a little bit of a hinge.
13:57So maybe there's a little bit of editing going on here.
13:59But it's not real.
14:00Of course it's not.
14:01Here's a video that everybody probably saw.
14:02And it's a GoPro footage.
14:03I mean, what else is new here?
14:04GoPro just seems to be faking a lot of footage.
14:06But it's a guy on a bike and then all of a sudden there's a bear that begins chasing him.
14:10Which isn't really how bears operate.
14:11I mean, bears are pretty timid.
14:13Not to say that you should like ever run away from a bear like this.
14:15But you'll see that the bear is just squarely behind him chasing him as he's on his bike.
14:19And the bear was just added in post-production.
14:21This one doesn't even have a crazy story to it.
14:23It's not like there's CGI done.
14:24The bear was just added in.
14:25The bear's not even in the frame most of the time.
14:27Getting closer and closer though.
14:28So this guy's getting a little nervous.
14:30I actually think the guy who shot this footage,
14:32He's not even looking back because he thinks that there's going to be a bear in post-production.
14:36I think he's actually just looking back to see if his friend is behind him, if I'm not mistaken.
14:40Here's a branch.
14:42Oh no.
14:43Now he's on foot.
14:44And oh, the one thing you shouldn't do is hide near a tree because bears can climb trees actually.
14:49And I'm sure that he's going to scare the bear away.
14:53And the bear turns around because this human lost him just by standing behind a tree.
14:57All right, so that's obviously fake.
14:59And nine years ago, somebody actually had to make a video why it is fake.
15:02So there was a whole expose on this by Kellogg Show Kids in which he's going into it.
15:07But I think this shot alone kind of shows us that it's fake.
15:09Looks like I was wrong again because the most popular staged video of all time is
15:13Greatest Freakout Ever from Waffle Pawn.
15:16It has 110 million views 14 years ago.
15:19Everybody's like aware of this video.
15:21You've seen it somehow, maybe in your dream.
15:23To give some lore on what's happening here, this guy's mom deleted his brother's World of Warcraft account.
15:29And so he caught him freaking out on camera.
15:30So he's about to come back into the room.
15:41Oh, hitting with the remote.
15:45It very much looks like a 13-year-old raging.
15:47Like this is what all 13-year-olds do.
15:53In fact, it's quite impressive he didn't punch a hole in his wall because that's usually the go-to for
15:57like 13-year-old boys.
15:58Okay, all of a sudden these boxers escalated quickly.
16:06He shuts the door then comes.
16:07When I found out this was fake, my life was ruined because this video did a lot for me.
16:12It made me realize that maybe it's not worth freaking out.
16:14Because if I look like that when I was younger freaking out, I mean, that's just embarrassing.
16:18Next up, we have ultimate batting practice.
16:20And just as an aside, whenever you see ultimate or like crazy in the title, you know that it's about
16:25to be faked.
16:257.5 million views 12 years ago.
16:28I think there's a common theme here with these videos being over 10-plus years old.
16:31Because we had no like video literacy back then.
16:33Everything we saw, we thought was like the coolest, realest thing ever.
16:36Check this out.
16:37All right.
16:37And also, whenever you hear check this out, you also know it's about to be fake.
16:40Here it goes.
16:41Some soft toss.
16:42Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
16:49I was definitely fooled by this when I first watched it.
16:52Even Shohei himself could not pull this off.
16:56It's also incredibly dangerous to be doing this without a helmet.
16:59Don't tell me he throws in another one.
17:01No way he throws in another one.
17:05That's ridiculous.
17:08I must say, the timing of the batter, though.
17:11Like he's swinging at probably the right time like when the ball in theory would be coming to him
17:18If I was a science teacher like this is how you show the law of motion
17:24That was sick that was sick I think that's real actually I want to believe that that's real
17:28My life's better when I believe that's real
17:29Here's a popular video from seven years ago with 18 million views and it's lion takes revenge on trophy hunters
17:35So you'll see these trophy hunters posing with a clearly CGI lion
17:39Unfortunately, they're hunting this for sport, which is quite sad to kill this animal without intent of eating it
17:44They just want to put the head on their mantle so they walk over to here. I mean it's stage
17:47So I guess they're not committing the worst crime in the world
17:49They're just doing a little bit of internetting and so after posing they're super happy, but look what happens
17:55You'll see another lion comes into frame
17:58To avenge and there's some screams that happen in the background some gunshots which we won't be playing because it
18:03is kind of graphic
18:04But I will say that at the end of that altercation the lion emerges which implies that the humans
18:10Didn't make it which makes you believe that the lion uploaded this YouTube video
18:14So Jaden Tanner is likely the name of some sub-saharan lion. So pretty cool
18:19This video is not fake, but it's one of my favorite videos on the internet
18:22Like this is actually just a brown bear that just came up to a guy and sat down
18:26So I feel like as we're going through all these fake videos
18:29It's worth noting a couple of the real ones like this actually happened
18:32I believe in alaska and you'll see it's just two different men of different species sitting down enjoying the scene
18:37You'll see this bear right now just has to take a seat. He just wants to chat. He's very cute
18:41It's insane that bears are bad because they look very cute and then at the end here. He gets up
18:46the bears like dude
18:47I just wanted to chill out nothing to this
18:49Alright sticking with the bear theme and we have this snowboarder who's getting ready to go down this mountain on
18:55her snowboard
18:55And you'll never believe what she runs into and then all of a sudden you'll see it's probably the same
19:00exact bear from that forest video
19:02And she doesn't even realize it but there's a bear going basically as fast as her
19:06I mean bears are fast, but I'm assuming you go much faster on a snowboard
19:09So there it is keeping up with her 15 million views seven years ago and a lot of people believe
19:13this
19:14In fact, it has a positive like to dislike ratio. So Kelly Murphy you've done fooled all of us and
19:19that's the end of that
19:20Now if you've been on YouTube long enough
19:21You've probably watched one of these primitive technology videos in which it's people just like constructing these
19:25massive architectural feats out of just using shovels basically
19:29It is unbelievable in a sense, but they make it seem as if they're building it from start to finish
19:34So you'll see they're starting off by digging a hole and then as we time lapse a bit further and
19:39we go to the end
19:40We end up having like these full structures like people are building like moats and everything with tunnels this and
19:45that only using primitive technology
19:47However, there have been a lot of exposés on this
19:50So i'm not the first by far to talk about this
19:52But they essentially use machinery and technology to do a bulk of the heavy lifting
19:57So 70 of what you see here is thought to be done by machinery
20:00So it's either digging via an excavator or having water and cement delivered to them on a truck or basically
20:07anything
20:07Regarding transporting resources is clearly done via a truck
20:11It's not like these things just kind of like minecraft pop up out of the ether
20:14And I think jeff5lee one year ago says it best. What a beautiful build. I bet they don't have a
20:19whole team to do this
20:20Yeah, so this is the worst part where they act like they're just foraging and just getting all their own
20:25Resources just by using like some hose and getting these like grass and this just this isn't how it's done
20:30So the point is all these videos are fake with the exception of a couple channels
20:33This next video is super fake, but it's called ape with ak-47 with a west african soldier
20:38Which is probably my favorite title of any video ever. This is 84 million views 13 years ago
20:43So take a look at this. So we have some west african soldiers. They have guns in their hands and
20:48they're approached by a
20:50chimpanzee
20:52And the chimpanzee gets hold of this gun and because they're very smart guess what he's gonna do with it
20:59I can't believe I believe this at one point it almost makes me upset questioning my intelligence. It's a cool
21:03video
21:04It look it kind of looks real looks like planet of the apes see then he just walks off
21:08So that video is fake if you can't tell it's cgi
21:10That's not a real monkey that came onto the scene and everything that you just watched is is fake now
21:14This next video set in germany is german ducks stop on red light and go on green lights
21:19I thought this was a very cute video when I watched it
21:22But to think that it's fake is really disappointing
21:24So we have these really cute ducks and they're literally just waiting for the light to turn green what great
21:28citizens
21:29Jesus seven was eight birds just a flock of ducks and they just waddle their way through it kind of
21:35looks you know a little cgi'd
21:36I also don't think they're ducks are they that kind of looks more like pigeons
21:39But yeah, unfortunately that video is fake despite it being uploaded by a verified german television youtube account
21:44So do not believe it all right
21:45So prior to deep fake technology actually becoming a thing there used to be attempts made particularly by buzzfeed in
21:51which they would deep fake obama
21:53So I want you to take a look at this and let me know if you think this is real
21:55We're entering an era in which our enemies can make it look like anyone is saying anything at any point
22:00in time
22:01I mean the voice is off a little bit for instance, they could have me say things like killmonger was
22:06right ben carson is in the sunken place
22:08Okay, I mean he's not moving like nothing's moving but his mouth
22:11So to me this looks super fake, but we're just uber exposed to deep fakes at this point
22:16Next up is one of my personal favorites and it's not from a youtuber or like a youtube video
22:20But it's actually from a police arrest of jussie smoulette. He was a star of this tv show empire. Don't
22:24worry
22:24I don't know what that is either and basically
22:26He just alleged that there was these two racists that came up to him put a noose around his neck
22:30and like beat him up
22:31Because I think he just wanted to like act like a victim or something
22:34But we don't have the actual video of the attack
22:35But there is some footage from the police cam and you'll see like what he's doing inside of his house
22:40So just keep in mind everything
22:41He said about the attack that happened to him was fake like he didn't get attacked whatsoever
22:45So right there we have jussie smoulette police body cam video capturing the embattled so he's keeping the noose around
22:51his neck the noose
22:52He's his attackers put around his neck
22:57So the way that he staged it is he got two of his friends to basically come in and like
23:02perpetrate the attack
23:03So it's obviously not like random racists that were doing it. I don't know what happened to him
23:07I feel like he got arrested. He should probably get arrested for that
23:09And I just think it's hilarious that he kept the noose around his neck because he wanted to show the
23:14officers how bad it was
23:15But it was fake another youtuber who's been accused of faking his content is air rack
23:18And now the issue with this is that the videos themselves aren't actually fake
23:22So everything you see here all of his challenges. He's very popular all these videos actually happened
23:26However in this video right here
23:28He talks about how he's going to have to delete his channel unless he uploads 30 consecutive videos over 30
23:34days
23:34Traveling across the world to reach mr
23:36Beast in times square or something like that a very fun concept
23:39I like personally when youtubers engage with these like sorts of challenges, but the issue with this starting december 1st
23:45I'm gonna be traveling around the entire globe uploading 30 videos in 30 days
23:49Did you catch that he said starting december 1st implying that there's going to be 30 days of filming starting
23:55on december 1st
23:56However, it turns out that all of these videos that you see on his channel leading up to this 30
24:01day sprint
24:01He did into january were all pre-recorded meaning some of these were recorded in september october november
24:07And he so he just uploaded videos in a row, but he didn't actually film 30 videos in 30 days
24:12And I know it's like not really big drama
24:14But a lot of people were upset with him because they were expecting some like ryan trahan level vlog thing
24:18in which every day
24:19He's actually doing something on like a daily vlog grind
24:22But all these videos were just pre-recorded and so people got, you know, I guess rightfully upset because he
24:26did kind of mislead his audience
24:27And I mean the series still it seems to be somewhat of a success, right? Got millions of views every
24:32single day
24:33So I mean good for him also not good for him because he got a lot of flack, but it
24:36is what it is cool
24:37And finally we have what is possibly the most viral fake video to ever be created
24:57I just want to say I played this as a joke
25:00I don't actually believe the moon landing was fake
25:02But after watching that that's the first time i'm really sitting down absorbing that footage
25:06I think that's the most valid conspiracy out there. All right, guys, that was a lot of fun
