It's part of how certain scams operate. Like scam emails with bad grammar. If the person is willing to overlook the bad grammar then they're probably the type of person to fall for the scam entirely. It's how you get people to essentially self report as a mark
Because it isn't even art. It is procedurally generated by a computer. They put in all the different faces / accessories and the computer randomly puts them together like a digital mr potato head.
The art doesn't even matter. They don't own the art anyway. It just represents their little unique place in the blockchain (which matters very little). Anyway, the reason it's bad or usually stolen is because it's easy to sell nothing if you don't do... well, nothing. These are probably made with some auto generator or something.
Just hope this artificial scarcity scam trend dies out soon. I can understand companies and people trying to persuade rich people to spend ridiculous amounts on crap but the people really behind this stuff are also trying to get everyone to blow their money on these. "You're not cool and part of this trend unless you spend thousands on one of these ugly digital images." Technically you're just buying a link to the image, not the image itself. No court will be able to claim only Jimmy Fallon can use that image, anyone can copy it and use it and even create a new NFT using the exact same image.

Nothing says "I respect my fans" like trying to sell them on a ponzi scheme whereyou pass around ugly genersted art like a game of Hot Potato, with all accumulated interest generated by one dude with sock puppet accounts buying the NFT from himself.
The sheer lack of shame one must have to be able to do this and not be absolutely humiliated with themselves is something that should not be humanly possible.
You're just expressing the natural law of numbers. Just a "small" group will pay attention to it. And, within that group, a small fraction will make significant money. However, willful ignorance is never good and you might be missing that string of luck everyone feels they deserve. A lot is random in the nft world, and useful too. Personally, I think these celebrities kind of give the space a bad reputation, cause you know they're not developers. I admit it's pretty effective getting the word across, though.
Watch this. Probably one of the best explainers of what it means when someone tries to sell you the idea of "ownership" of an NFT. th-cam.com/video/XwMjPWOailQ/w-d-xo.html And it doesn't even touch on the environmental damage they contribute to. So sad seeing these people promoting them
@@TheWilbott because it's no different than any scheme that involves money. I'm not talking about anything specific, so I can't say I'd profit from this comment in a space so vast. I said it's not good to be ignorant about it, doesn't necessarily mean I am for it.
It's like if people could create their own digital Beanie Babies online and you then sell a link to the one you made. People can buy that link and act like they own it but another person can create the same digital Beanie Baby, or even copy that one, create a new link, and sell that. If the host of the digital Beanie Babies goes down, it'll point to nothing. Anyone here can copy Jimmy Fallon's ape, mint it as a new NFT, and try to sell that and there is no legal basis for Jimmy to claim the image is his. Those selling them want people to think that, like you forever own that image and no one else can use it.
Only 99% of them, there are some NFTs with utilities that makes them great, like passive income. Some very expensive NFTs give you close to $1000 a week.
If you could buy a digital version of the new halo game, beat it, realize that you won't replay it, then sell it to someone else who didn't want to buy it full price, and the $ from the sale would go to you, the publisher, and the app you used (Xbox/Microsoft) then I would be all for NFT technology.. but if its just jpegs of apes you could easily "save as", then count me out.
@@metrostephen53 fuck the other version of it too, the first people in line will always get more money. It's not about the poor artists as people try to sell it, it works exactly like a pyramid scheme. The main people supporting the NFT concept are cryptobros, grifters, people who's greed for massive amounts of money is insane. Heck, even with gaming, the worst AAA companies jumped on NFTs as being the 'future' of gaming, actually using separate phrases for players who "Play for fun" and all that bs.
This might be the video I show my grandchildren after we're living in the underground refugee camps post 4th World War. "Where did it all end, grandpa?" "Here, here's where we fell into the abyss, my child..." *A single tear*
You should watch her documentary on her channel! It’s so good! She talks about the voice! I think that baby voice became a habit and now it’s hard for her to break out of it
"You taught me what's up and then I bought an ape and threw away my money and got in on the pyramid/ponzi scheme and now I actively contribute to environmental damage on a massive scale!. 👏
It's crazy how she goes from, what I assume, her regular deeper voice to her, what I call "that's hot" voice. It's like she was trained all her life to use the 'that's hot' voice and mask her real voice and now she's kind of all over the place because she's so used to pretending she's an airhead.
@@colmmulligan158 She isn't, though. It's all an act and in her documentary she talks "normally" and quite eloquently the entire time. She talks about how the "thats hot" charachter was made because it was profitable at the time and how she sometimes regrets it because people still don't take her seriously & she has a hard time controlling it because it was her life for so long. She's obviously not an airhead because she runs all of her *many* businesses herself and is extremely successful at it. I can see why someone would think this if you've never bothered to really listen to her or read about her, though.
You’re more of an airhead than her if you believe everything you said. She runs all her business's? Hahaha. She has a team that does that she doesn’t have a clue about business. She’s has zero brains or talent. Her 15 minutes were up and she starts talking about this abuse two years ago in an attempt to stay relevant. How can people like you not see this.
It's not. It's just like a worse crypto. People that get rich off of em plug them heavy to inflate the price so they can make money while others get stuck with a useless monkey photo
Yeah absolutely no chance. NFTs are completely catered towards people with money or followers who can inflate their prices on twitter (or late night tv apparently). You could replace nfts with coffee mugs and as long as these big celebrities band together and pretend there's value the concept is exactly the same
It is her natural voice. She does do a voice for the public and doesn't try to hide it. She used to joke about it on snapchat a few years ago. So many people do it, it's just not popular for new celebs to do nowadays.
Especially when he looks at the crowd, it's fucking scary. I feel like he just looked into the crowd and everyone who's eyes connected with his instantly had a heart attack or something.
After watching her documentary and everyone mentioning her voice changes she had said that her higher pitched baby voice was a part of that 'persona ' that she had put on for the cameras but now that she has shared her story and struggles with the world I think she is trying to transition to her normal lower voice- within that transition she tends to slip back and forth because it's. A reflex for her.
@@foenix8094 no. It's just what I noticed when she spoke. Goodness. I didn't study anything. She deals with mental health struggles and one of the ways to cope with what she has gone thru is to create a persona for herself in front of the camera that persona involved a baby voice. Anyone watching the interview can hear her going from a higher pitched voice to lower. Not just me.
@@AudreysKitchen Oh yeah. It's like the Keanu Reeves interview on The Matrix 4 press tour where someone asked him about NFTs and he said "you mean easily replicable art?" and...well, yeah lol. It removes the value of something, it's a late stage capitalism thing but -shrug-
@@GetShrekd Yep. I mean if I had an agent who said "These people want to pay you X million USD to say something in an ad" it'd be like...well, that's a lot of money but also wtf am I doing being like Matt Damon basically taunting people who dont get into NFTs as cowards when all it does is further wealth inequality : /
Jimmy (or Jimmy''s host character) is now really just about slobbering on celebs and kissing their asses, but this sh*t about NFTs and the apes, with the most unbearable self-centered mondaine of them all, is really where it hits the fan. It is like "jumping the shark", but the other way around: there will never be a lower point than this! Sad.
Can somebody explain why she's famous? It's not that I can judge but she's not talented and not even pretty. Never made sense to me at all why she had a platform to begin with.
The later half of 2021 was all about NFTs yet they fell off so incredibly fast. Once everyone realised the grift was overvalued monkey photos, the value became worthless. No one fell for this, and celebrities just wasted their time.
Well, some did fall for it (some losing a lot of money in the process. It was so predictable it was gonna be a short lived trend. The beanie babies of the social media age, if you will 😀
Nearly one year later.... NFT's have become the equivalent of a leftover Christmas Giftcard that has a few cents left on it, and you just wind up throwing away and forgetting about.
This Comment section gives me a little glimpse of hope for humanity. Audacity to promote speculative market to audience without the mention of risks involved. I just wonder who really sits behind all this!! Hollywood & Celebrity culture is destroying the last thread of humanity left in our society. Don't fool yourselves. Paris is a very smart businesswoman. What you see on social media and on television is a different persona. Too bad she's using her fame and wealth for her own personal gain
This is so weird. Essentially an infomercial for NFTs. Like, they don't actually care about them, they just want to make money. I'm not against NFTs in general, but I am against shilling them shilling them this shamelessly purely for profit. Not much different from coming out and selling Herbalife.
Celebrities did not appear too keen to disclose that they were more than just BAYC customers. Deadline reported that, before the crash, celebrities like Jimmy Fallon publicly praised the Bad Ape NFTs, claiming to be customers themselves. Fallon, for instance, had done so on "The Tonight Show" in November 2021.
The only reason they got rid of the dislike button was for stuff like this, so the people with money can keep the public opinion from spoiling their reputation
A Year later and I’m still in awe, the 0 chemistry, the clearly edited in cheers and claps, and just the idiocy of trying to hype up NFTs. This train wreck needs to be studied
(robotic voices) "Hi Paris. I am 'all-in' on these NFTs." "Ha. Ha. Yes, Jimmy. I am going to make sure my Bored Ape is blond. To match my hair. Ha ha." "Wow. Cool. Awesome." Jimmy was paid around mid- to high-six figures for this informercial. Presumably Hilton has a long-term deal with whomever is hustling this crap and so will get more. Two of the lamest legacy-media people currently still existing. Now I'm going to "Don't Recommend" Jimmy's channel so this crap never comes up on my recs again

Um I'd take in that you said most. Conan o brien is not apart of that list. I'm so sad he retired.
@@neonrays28 i swear i was gonna write that. Hes such a unique personality
Nothing says "I respect my fans" like trying to sell them on a ponzi scheme whereyou pass around ugly genersted art like a game of Hot Potato, with all accumulated interest generated by one dude with sock puppet accounts buying the NFT from himself.
I feel bad for Jimmy! James cordon stole his thunder as worst goddamn late night host that will ever live 🥺😭
4:46 The way he looked at the audience when they laughed lmao.
Why does he look like he has a gun to his head LOL
Holy fuck thats nightmare mode
He's not looking at the audience, but at a screen that shows what the camera's filming right now
That's scary 🤣🤣😅
Yes, unscripted REAL laughter from people laughing at the absurdity of the situation is not allowed
The sheer lack of shame one must have to be able to do this and not be absolutely humiliated with themselves is something that should not be humanly possible.
Yeah…I’ll never understand NFT’s. It’s not gonna happen.
You're just expressing the natural law of numbers. Just a "small" group will pay attention to it. And, within that group, a small fraction will make significant money.
However, willful ignorance is never good and you might be missing that string of luck everyone feels they deserve. A lot is random in the nft world, and useful too.
Personally, I think these celebrities kind of give the space a bad reputation, cause you know they're not developers. I admit it's pretty effective getting the word across, though.
Watch this. Probably one of the best explainers of what it means when someone tries to sell you the idea of "ownership" of an NFT. th-cam.com/video/XwMjPWOailQ/w-d-xo.html And it doesn't even touch on the environmental damage they contribute to. So sad seeing these people promoting them
@@palkys. This is the kind of language people use when they're trying to sell someone on a pyramid scheme.
@@TheWilbott because it's no different than any scheme that involves money. I'm not talking about anything specific, so I can't say I'd profit from this comment in a space so vast. I said it's not good to be ignorant about it, doesn't necessarily mean I am for it.
It's like if people could create their own digital Beanie Babies online and you then sell a link to the one you made. People can buy that link and act like they own it but another person can create the same digital Beanie Baby, or even copy that one, create a new link, and sell that. If the host of the digital Beanie Babies goes down, it'll point to nothing. Anyone here can copy Jimmy Fallon's ape, mint it as a new NFT, and try to sell that and there is no legal basis for Jimmy to claim the image is his. Those selling them want people to think that, like you forever own that image and no one else can use it.
The NFT thing is such a scam 😵💫
Only 99% of them, there are some NFTs with utilities that makes them great, like passive income. Some very expensive NFTs give you close to $1000 a week.
@darzsh Facts lol.
@@ArgentiumTea That still sounds like a speculative bubble.
If you could buy a digital version of the new halo game, beat it, realize that you won't replay it, then sell it to someone else who didn't want to buy it full price, and the $ from the sale would go to you, the publisher, and the app you used (Xbox/Microsoft) then I would be all for NFT technology.. but if its just jpegs of apes you could easily "save as", then count me out.
@@metrostephen53 fuck the other version of it too, the first people in line will always get more money. It's not about the poor artists as people try to sell it, it works exactly like a pyramid scheme. The main people supporting the NFT concept are cryptobros, grifters, people who's greed for massive amounts of money is insane. Heck, even with gaming, the worst AAA companies jumped on NFTs as being the 'future' of gaming, actually using separate phrases for players who "Play for fun" and all that bs.
This might be the video I show my grandchildren after we're living in the underground refugee camps post 4th World War.

Generic monkey number 12,345. That's so me!
She goes in and out of her voices. It’s pretty fascinating
Agree, it’s almost like they represent different ages/personalities that she has/had
You should watch her documentary on her channel! It’s so good! She talks about the voice! I think that baby voice became a habit and now it’s hard for her to break out of it
In and out I saw that video....
She had a really good doc come out last year and she talks about how much she hates the character but it makes her so much money 😭
Wow, I thought I was hearing things!
Yeah, they were definitely both paid to talk about NFTs
the only wealth generation left in america, scamming your countrymen.
I think moonpay paid them
"You taught me what's up and then I bought an ape and threw away my money and got in on the pyramid/ponzi scheme and now I actively contribute to environmental damage on a massive scale!. 👏
"This is your, this is your ape"
"This is my ape."
"They're buddies!!"
Actual conversation in 2022
"monkey laugh"
both the images are just copy pasted versions. i am like what kind of fuckery is this?
The way he pulled out her nft ape as if he had no idea it was there before is peak comedy for me
The whole segment was like something from a mockumentary or something 😄
It's crazy how she goes from, what I assume, her regular deeper voice to her, what I call "that's hot" voice. It's like she was trained all her life to use the 'that's hot' voice and mask her real voice and now she's kind of all over the place because she's so used to pretending she's an airhead.
There's zero pretending that she's an airhead.
@@colmmulligan158 She isn't, though. It's all an act and in her documentary she talks "normally" and quite eloquently the entire time. She talks about how the "thats hot" charachter was made because it was profitable at the time and how she sometimes regrets it because people still don't take her seriously & she has a hard time controlling it because it was her life for so long. She's obviously not an airhead because she runs all of her *many* businesses herself and is extremely successful at it. I can see why someone would think this if you've never bothered to really listen to her or read about her, though.
@@colmmulligan158 woahhh somebody hates women
lol
You’re more of an airhead than her if you believe everything you said. She runs all her business's? Hahaha. She has a team that does that she doesn’t have a clue about business. She’s has zero brains or talent. Her 15 minutes were up and she starts talking about this abuse two years ago in an attempt to stay relevant. How can people like you not see this.
I think art is cool and all but I am not buying into this concept that NFT's are generally good investments.
It's not. It's just like a worse crypto. People that get rich off of em plug them heavy to inflate the price so they can make money while others get stuck with a useless monkey photo
it's not 'art' and it's not cool either. their all copy paste AI generated animals. on top of that, they’re quite literally a ponzi scheme
Yeah absolutely no chance. NFTs are completely catered towards people with money or followers who can inflate their prices on twitter (or late night tv apparently). You could replace nfts with coffee mugs and as long as these big celebrities band together and pretend there's value the concept is exactly the same
You're the first person I've seen who actually likes that art style lmao
@@SPREET5454 yes but with your logic u could apply that to everything and never give the project any credits with a one-sided view
1:17 her voice got so deep it sounds so good
Yeah nice vocal fry
Probably her actual voice. Almost dropped the facade for a second.
Or she faked high pitched voice to charm before
Yes! Literally had the same thought! I knew she had her character voice and real voice, but I've never heard them ao close together
It is her natural voice. She does do a voice for the public and doesn't try to hide it. She used to joke about it on snapchat a few years ago.
So many people do it, it's just not popular for new celebs to do nowadays.
Jimmy Fallon has the deadest eyes I've ever seen when he describes his ape. Who is making him do this?
Lorne Michaels
Especially when he looks at the crowd, it's fucking scary. I feel like he just looked into the crowd and everyone who's eyes connected with his instantly had a heart attack or something.
This video perfectly encapsulates why NFTs are a scam
After watching her documentary and everyone mentioning her voice changes she had said that her higher pitched baby voice was a part of that
'persona ' that she had put on for the cameras but now that she has shared her story and struggles with the world I think she is trying to transition to her normal lower voice- within that transition she tends to slip back and forth because it's. A reflex for her.
I love cookies
I have DID and sometimes even though I'm integrated, out of muscle memory I'll sometimes slip into my other voices without realising
Ok yeah the normal voice sounds very nice and mature.
@@foenix8094 no. It's just what I noticed when she spoke. Goodness. I didn't study anything. She deals with mental health struggles and one of the ways to cope with what she has gone thru is to create a persona for herself in front of the camera that persona involved a baby voice. Anyone watching the interview can hear her going from a higher pitched voice to lower. Not just me.
@@foenix8094 u go ahead and believe what u like. I'll believe what I like. Simple enough. Not looking to start arguments online.
Paris seems like a nice person but holy shit the quicker people get off the NFT mlm the better >_>
The way she spoke about like "it's just so incredible to be a part of this community" it's like someone in a cult 😂
anyone who goes into NFTs is not a nice person, especially if it's an ignorant celebrity
@@AudreysKitchen Oh yeah. It's like the Keanu Reeves interview on The Matrix 4 press tour where someone asked him about NFTs and he said "you mean easily replicable art?" and...well, yeah lol. It removes the value of something, it's a late stage capitalism thing but -shrug-
@@GetShrekd Yep. I mean if I had an agent who said "These people want to pay you X million USD to say something in an ad" it'd be like...well, that's a lot of money but also wtf am I doing being like Matt Damon basically taunting people who dont get into NFTs as cowards when all it does is further wealth inequality : /
@@warmybear1009 yeah it's like the definition of artificial scarcity.
4:45 Jimmy straight-facing the audience for laughing at this serious moment
Jimmy (or Jimmy''s host character) is now really just about slobbering on celebs and kissing their asses, but this sh*t about NFTs and the apes, with the most unbearable self-centered mondaine of them all, is really where it hits the fan. It is like "jumping the shark", but the other way around: there will never be a lower point than this! Sad.
The irony of Paris Hilton endorsing a product that produces nothing of actual value, yet still shows up in our lives constantly against our will.
Man screw NFT's.
“Kim Petras, my friend”
Paris Hilton, 2022
She’s so relatable!!
Omg hahabah
when i was 5 i thought she was the most famous person in the world lol
she is
No way, same!!!
She was..
Well, if you were 5 in the early 2000s, you were right
Can somebody explain why she's famous? It's not that I can judge but she's not talented and not even pretty. Never made sense to me at all why she had a platform to begin with.
I love this. It is exposing them for the grifters they are.
This entire interview resides at the very apex of all that is absolute patience-testing banality.
well said! 👏
This will be archived for future generations to look at how dumb and cringy the NFT era was.
The later half of 2021 was all about NFTs yet they fell off so incredibly fast. Once everyone realised the grift was overvalued monkey photos, the value became worthless. No one fell for this, and celebrities just wasted their time.
Well, some did fall for it (some losing a lot of money in the process. It was so predictable it was gonna be a short lived trend. The beanie babies of the social media age, if you will 😀
Nearly one year later.... NFT's have become the equivalent of a leftover Christmas Giftcard that has a few cents left on it, and you just wind up throwing away and forgetting about.
The NFT era really showed how lame these people were.
Just when you thought Fallon couldn't get any lower...
Hope your lawsuit goes well, Jimmy.
The NFT segment takes my mind to the french revolution...
This is the first documented conversation shared between 5 collective brain cells.
I like how they just said “I like” and then stated the obvious. I love the stripped shirt, the etc etc
This Comment section gives me a little glimpse of hope for humanity. Audacity to promote speculative market to audience without the mention of risks involved. I just wonder who really sits behind all this!! Hollywood & Celebrity culture is destroying the last thread of humanity left in our society. Don't fool yourselves. Paris is a very smart businesswoman. What you see on social media and on television is a different persona. Too bad she's using her fame and wealth for her own personal gain
He deserves an Emmy for Most Freaked Up Grifter On A Variety Show.
Him saying “Demi Lavato is legit” was more fake than the entire NFT convo this segment was so sad
I love that she is using her real voice more…
Same!!! Maturity
What does that mean? Her real voice?
@@fenixa2z936 paris talks with her fake voice back then just search it on youtube
@@fenixa2z936 it means the bar for female celebrities is comically low

What does that have to do this video?
@@kinndah2519 for her being in the video....
@@CardCommodities She’s got two brothers and a sister and they aren’t here. Privilege doesn’t negate one’s accomplishments.
Umm okay except she walked away from the Hilton money and started her own brand and paved her own way to fame so....
@@kellaay28 she didn't walk away from Hilton but if she wanted the money inherited from the family she had to clean her act up.
I regularly come back here just to remind myself that no matter how cringe I can be, I will never be as cringe as this segment.

I can’t believe how different she speaks I only heard her voice on Snapchat
She's not her character voice. Like Marilyn Monroe wasn't her persona...either.

😂😂😂
Conan O'Brien would have never let this happen.
the NFT bit will go down as one of the weirdest TV moments of all time
This is so weird. Essentially an infomercial for NFTs. Like, they don't actually care about them, they just want to make money. I'm not against NFTs in general, but I am against shilling them shilling them this shamelessly purely for profit. Not much different from coming out and selling Herbalife.
@@justinarchiquette7591 The community aspect of wealthy people attempting to hijack the art scene. Yes.

I'm not ruining this mascara: Paris Hilton 😂 love it
Has to be one of the most, if not THE most, embarrassing Tonight Show interviews ever.
In the Hall of Fame no doubt.
Celebrities did not appear too keen to disclose that they were more than just BAYC customers. Deadline reported that, before the crash, celebrities like Jimmy Fallon publicly praised the Bad Ape NFTs, claiming to be customers themselves. Fallon, for instance, had done so on "The Tonight Show" in November 2021.
Jimmy: Everyone gets an NFT!
Audience: Can we feed our family with it? How about a $25 giftcard to Aldi instead?
This didn't age well, yall are getting sued ^^
The only reason they got rid of the dislike button was for stuff like this, so the people with money can keep the public opinion from spoiling their reputation
can still see dislike with extensions... it has 61k dislike atm
the fact that she has on two different heels is so hilarious
Glad to see I’m not the only one who was confused judging by the way the audience clapped 😂
Any sense of reality has left the building.
Well, this aged well…
Like fine wine my friend.
We need penguinz0 to react to this entire clip
A Year later and I’m still in awe, the 0 chemistry, the clearly edited in cheers and claps, and just the idiocy of trying to hype up NFTs. This train wreck needs to be studied
One of the worst moments in late-night history. Johnny Carson is spinning in his grave
The whole segment with the NTFs seems so alien. It's almost like these two have no idea what it's like to actually live in the real world.
At the time this was filmed, this was purchased for ~$360,000. It’s now worth around $50,000
50 000 too much
Fallon looks offstage in confusion for a second after her voice drops at 1:17
Surprised that your show promoted such a scam. NFT's aka Scam.
dislike for popularizing NTFs
regina george voice: *stop trying to make NFTs happen. its not going to happen*
4:44 Jimmy looks at the crowd like "DONT YOU FUKN LAUGH"
NFTs - the wet dream of capitalism...
supported by your liberal woke joke men
(robotic voices)
"Hi Paris. I am 'all-in' on these NFTs."
"Ha. Ha. Yes, Jimmy. I am going to make sure my Bored Ape is blond. To match my hair. Ha ha."
"Wow. Cool. Awesome."
Jimmy was paid around mid- to high-six figures for this informercial. Presumably Hilton has a long-term deal with whomever is hustling this crap and so will get more. Two of the lamest legacy-media people currently still existing. Now I'm going to "Don't Recommend" Jimmy's channel so this crap never comes up on my recs again
I knew NFTs were going down the moment a lot of idiots were buying awful looking art with no talent behind it.
lmao the nft she made looks like a 2007 myspace graphic from photobucket
