BTW, if anyone doesn't know where it's from, it's from "Monster Factory" on Polygon, specifically the second episode of their "Second Life" trilogy if I remember it right
Yeah its so crazy looking into the background of the show and realizing the fact that they adapted stories written by a Sci-Fi/Pulp fiction writer but insisted that they were researched and based on real stories the writer *took inspiration* from when writing his stories, its just bs all the way down.
@@nesamdoom Or, a thing happened. We're going to make up reasons why it happened, we're going to make up where it happened, and we're going to make up who was there when it happened. But it's a true story, because the thing happened!
By far the most fictional part of this is the painter who says “ok this painting is done” with no hesitation as if all artists don’t spend at least an hour deciding if their art is done
the best part is, it's damn near impossible to truly crash that model of cessna. The aerodynamics are such that it doesn't want to land anyway but right side up and it glides for days. In fact one guy lost all yaw capability on the plane and he was able to control it by opening and closing the pilot side door to adjust the yaw.
I don't think ghost dad did it, it was probably that the plane hated Michael so much it felt the only escape was to crash itself. Also I think the pilot wings necklace was lodged somewhere that he couldn't see and it just ended up on the dashboard because of the laws of physics, but the plane was probably hiding the wings, it had such an unreasonable hatred for Michael
Ghost dad could have just appeared and said, "son, the oil is leaking". I think the son would believe in these conditions. He didn't have to wreck the plane.
Also doesn't this mean his dad thought he was incompetent? There are ways to check oil pressure. His dad apparently came back from the dead to shit on his piloting skills, wreck his plane, and reawaken his childhood trauma.
@@alexanderf8451 Seriously! I would hope that he would have checked at least around the plane as well before flying off? Just doing a safety check and all. But yeah, ghost dad is kind of a jerk for bringing up his trauma like that making him think it's happening all over again!
I could actually see how a person with a heart condition might be shocked to death by seeing their brother’s corpse. Of course the one feasible one is fiction
True, one of the more believable stories just has to be fake haha. I’m honestly glad it is though cause it would’ve been really sad if they’d exploited a tragedy like that
I consider this show part of the Star Trek cannon. I think Riecher suffered a space accident and is in a coma dream where he hosts mystery stories. The stories are probably from a book he was reading.
Riecher is German and could be translated as smeller. Someone who has the "richtiger Riecher" is someone who has the right idea/clue about a situation. Like what might have happened in those fictional stories.
code for "we exaggerated truthful stories to illogical amounts and can still consider it true because it was from a truthful story" maybe it was intentional because you have to break through the web of your experience and see the truth the truth is that All of the stories are false
I remember one episode that freaked me out when younger had this kid who thought there was a monster in the closet and was bullied for it by his brother- then one day his brother goes into the closet and went missing - it was the fact that the story was then stated to be true that made me creeped out - really sucked finding out much later that what actually happened is the brother climbed into the roof panel of the closet and then ran away to a friends place to freak his sibling out even more, but the Fact Or Fiction team didn't think to dig further than "a boy went missing in a closet"
Hey, I remember that too! When they said it was fact it freaked me and my siblings out. I could’ve sworn in the episode they were like “there was no way that he could leave the closet” or some shit like that. Glad to finally know the truth 😂😭
i'm not sure if anyone mentioned this in the twitch chat or not but i found that bit with the smart gun hilarious for the fact that the distinct clicking noise the gun made as the mother "shot" her son, it's the noise unloaded guns make when fired lmao so clearly she didn't almost shoot anything, the gun was very obviously unloaded lol
I mean, guns make clicking noises when empty because there's no bang. A revolver filled with dud bullets would definitely be making a clicking noise when you pull the trigger, it would be the sound of the hammer falling on dud bullets. Now, a single action semi-auto wouldn't make more than one clicking noise.
(not necessarily defending the logic of it) but it did shoot the intruder so there would have had to be bullets in the gun according to the story. realistically though idk
The thing is, that's a lot of "based on such and such" media. It even happens with fiction films based on fiction novels. I agree it's funny and all but also stories need to fit the narrative structure so things get shifted around, omitted or become completely unrecognizable.
This show is basically Are You Afraid of the Dark? with adults. Someone needs to get Jonathan Frakes to say "Submitted for the approval of . . . The Midnight Society".
I looked a little too deep into the sources of the factual stories and found some stuff. firstly the stories are VERY loosely related to the actual event that transpired. Secondly, most of the events took place in a time before they would be well documented on the internet. the show derives some of their true stories from an author by the name of Robert Tralins. Don't look up his Wikipedia, it's weird. Anyways, as far as I could tell, Tralins conducted "first hand research" to collect his stories and compiled them into a book called "Strange Events Beyond Human Understanding". I also looked on another website and the first entry(?) gave a good explanation about the legitimacy of the factual stories (I'll leave a link under this) seems to me like they took very mundane stories and picked out all of the important details, or rather they examined them as if they hadn't been solved yet. for example, in the episode "The Portrait" the tale that is being reference to is what I believe to be about the artist Caravaggio. he just murdered people. it wasn't a coincidence. however it may have seemed as so in the 1600's when detective work was kinda lacking. there's also an episode about a boy "disappearing" in a closet (not from this video). The show makes it seem that the boy magically vanished, and no one knew how. except they did. there was a hole in the closet covered by some wood(?) and he went through and hid in the neighbors house. so yea in conclusion, the stories (according to Robert Tralins) are kinda true, but the show dramatizes them drastically. :)
also Caravaggio's Wikipedia claims that he, and I quote, "He died in 1610 under uncertain circumstances while on his way from Naples to Rome." so I think the show just speculated that he intentionally ended his life 😅
FURTHERMORE......... the portrait episode might as well not be about Caravaggio. that guy was from the 1600s, there's no WAAYY that enough was documented to recreate the story on the show. 90% of that story is fake, but they make you believe it's "true" because it's barely referencing to events from centuries ago.
I MEAN..... there's NO WAY, that events could happen with such specificity and be hardly uncoverable through the web. if there was actually a painter who killed people with portraits,,,,,, WE WOULDNT BE FINDING OUT ABOUT IT ON A SHOW FROM THE 90s!!! all in all, (and I hope this is my last comment) the show is kinda bs, it's fun to watch no doubt but technically all of the stories are fictional :/
Ok so I love how much research you did and I'm obsessed with how through this breakdown is. However this show is 💅✨camp✨💅 so even though your breakdown was immensely helpful, concise, and I'm beyond grateful that you wrote it ... I choose to believe in ghost planes and magic closets. (In all seriousness, thank you for sharing this dive with us!)
Jonathan Frakes basically was masculinity in my childhood. Love him. Oh also if you're looking for more weird memeable shows from this era look up Magic Secrets Revealed, the host gets more drunk and checked out with every episode.
I looked up the show thinking "oh Jarivs should also watch that one magic show with the guy in the mask"... thank god I know the title now so i can binge watch nostalgia.
Riker refusing to elaborate on how these stories actually happened has the same energy as David Lynch refusing to elaborate on how Eraserhead is his most spiritual film.
The only thing that googling the story about the painter, has taught me is that a lot of people have accused painters of killing people/that more artists had killed people than I thought. But not in a prophetic way/just by painting them, at least that I could find. I can't even find a bunch of rumors of that around anyone.
So is no one going to talk about how bad this show wants to be the Twilight Zone. With the intro and the way the narration is introduced and everything
I'm actually very fascinated by the world they've set up in the story about the painter. I don't care that it's super loosely it's based on real events, I just think there's something very compelling about a reluctant artist grappling with his own doubts while he tries to help end people's suffering and honor their wishes. Plus where he draws the line of who to paint, like we see here after he paints Michelle. I just think there's a lot there that could be explored in a longer piece, maybe a series. I could almost see it as like a bittersweet short anime.
Still can’t believe Jarvis watched this show just as I had a video about it. This was a great episode from season 2. Shout out Jarvis and Johnny Flakes
To this day, I still remember the episode they had where a vampire robbed a blood bank in a hospital and they deemed it Fact. I had nightmares for days if not weeks after (I was in elementary school at the time). The fact that I still remember that story 20+ years later really displays how traumatized I was from this show as a child. LMAO
No word of a lie, after Jarvis realized the first guy's name was Michael after saying he looked like Michael J. Fox and Michael C. Hall, I got an ad for Michaels the craft store 😳 Michaels⁴
I just realized this show is pretty much a live action version of the crazy animated story youtube channels. Except with far fewer creepy romances between the teenage protagonist and his step mommy. But there are similar amounts of ridiculous and unbelievable plot lines with no sources.
I feel like hospitals don’t just give all the employees all access passes. Like okay Mr Doctor Man you can have access to the morgue even tho you don’t deal with deceased people because you’re a podiatrist”😂😂
Okay why did the kid break into the house when he forgot his key… hot take, he could have called his mom and been like “hey, I’m locked out” or if no one had a phone he could use he could have like knocked on the door? I’m pretty sure robbers don’t knock😂😂
If you believe that some people at an nondescript time spread stories of such an incident occurring at some point very similar to the one described here... you'd be correct. FACT.
tis is a story of a gun who'd shoot not a woman's son for he was not the one to ruin the night's fun 'twas the burglar on the run whose time was finally done and the family 'twas stood stun in this tale of fact once spun though 'twas the dogs that could vote that truly won
my mother and i used to watch this show, but i was so little that i was pretty terrified of it all. i gotta hand it to jarvis for unlocking that memory and having his audience revisit the show!
in germany berond belief was a huuge success. they actually made new episodes in 2021 for german tv. for anyone interested its called “Xfactor: das unfassbare” but the stories were filmed and produced in germany so it sadly doesn’t have that american flair
"ghost dad said 'if i cant fly nobody can'" is the best quote from any jarvis video EVER. nevermind, "Jump, jump, the house is gunnin'" is my new favourite
I remember watching like 1 or 2 episodes of this at my friend's house in like 2013 and all I remember was a story about a woman putting her dog in the oven and killing it and the balloon chair guy
@@_y0inks581 upon further information it may have been a separate, extremely similar show but the old woman putting her dog in the oven was fake but the balloon chair guy was real and it's actually a pretty fun story
I wasn't able to figure out when this was on TV on a regular basis, but it randomly showed up which added to the show's mystery. Loved the production value of each short story.
I watched this video video in bed while really tired. I had just thrown up cause my anti depressants made me nauseous, and I hit my weed cart to make me feel better and I ended up falling asleep and having a dream where Javis was watching an imagery episode of this show on stream and every single story was back to back fact dispite them becoming increasingly unbelievable.
I could see how these stories are true, but greatly embellished. Painter who "kills" painted terminally ill people, and died some time after painting his own portrait. The plane story? The unmanned airplane rolled down the runway and crashed, the pilot chalked it up to the spirit of his dad protecting him.
This made me smile bro me and my parents used to watch this show when I was growing up both are deceased. To know I’m not the only one watching this is cool af keep making content brother 👍
Super important gun safety: 1-never point a gun at something you're not trying to shoot 2- never put your finger on the trigger until you want to shoot.
"Oh nooo, trigger discipline! That's a thing, right? ... I don't know anything about guns" - Jarvis Johnson, demonstrating he knows more about guns than a startlingly large portion of gun enthusiasts
I'm starting to develop a system: If the story is clearly impossible and would shatter everything we know about the natural world, it's FACT. If it could have happened, at least in theory, it's FICTION.
I was surprised more people in the chat didn't recognize "Michael" from the plane one from Cougar Town where he played Courtney Cox's character's ex-husband (who was still always around). To be fair, Jarvis's description of a cross between Michael J. Fox and Michael C. Hall was pretty good. I can't imagine he put the "Oh no" in his acting reel, though, lol
Im so happy you’re doing this series 🤗 ❣️ I used to watch this (w/my sons too) but had NO idea it was created in the late 90’s. Idk if you’re interested in having another series to feature on your show but there’s one we used to watch that might have been called 1000 Ways to Die (?) and I think it has the same concept where the viewer can guess which story is true or false/decide which seemingly unassuming or strange cause of death actually occurred. By the way, I love your channel(s)- I’ve been a subscriber for YEARS & so has my youngest son (17 years old)💝👍🏽🙌🏽 🙌🏽 🦋❣️ Jarvis, I’m so happy for your success that’s so deserved and yet you’re still so deserving of so much more🙏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❣️
Oh my god i used to watch this with my dad! We’d always guess which ones were which and it was one of our favourite shows. It was already super old when we were watching it though (in the late 2000s) because we only had cable with like 5 channels 😂 this made me so nostalgic.
so cool that you're watching these, I don't think they ever aired in Canada and I've always seen memes from this show so it's neat to finally see the origin
19:55 The male actor in this scene is on many shows, I remember seeing him in Murder She Wrote for 2-3 episodes, like many actors in the 80s/90s, they would appear in many shows on TV when being a TV actor was considered demeaning!

Wow. I had no idea the only way to deal with an oil leak is to crash the whole plane. Thanks ghost dad.
the best part is, it's damn near impossible to truly crash that model of cessna. The aerodynamics are such that it doesn't want to land anyway but right side up and it glides for days.

No word of a lie, after Jarvis realized the first guy's name was Michael after saying he looked like Michael J. Fox and Michael C. Hall, I got an ad for Michaels the craft store 😳
Michaels⁴
The Michael’s…. they’re coming for you
What did you end up buying
How did you raise Michales to the 4th power??
I just realized this show is pretty much a live action version of the crazy animated story youtube channels. Except with far fewer creepy romances between the teenage protagonist and his step mommy. But there are similar amounts of ridiculous and unbelievable plot lines with no sources.
I feel like hospitals don’t just give all the employees all access passes. Like okay Mr Doctor Man you can have access to the morgue even tho you don’t deal with deceased people because you’re a podiatrist”😂😂
Okay why did the kid break into the house when he forgot his key… hot take, he could have called his mom and been like “hey, I’m locked out” or if no one had a phone he could use he could have like knocked on the door? I’m pretty sure robbers don’t knock😂😂
Killers might knock to trick you
Genuinely laughed so hard at "dog vote, dog vote, dog suFFRAGE" that my bones hurt
Dog suffrage? More like Dogg RUFFrage!
If you believe that some people at an nondescript time spread stories of such an incident occurring at some point very similar to the one described here... you'd be correct.
FACT.
tis is a story of a gun
who'd shoot not a woman's son
for he was not the one
to ruin the night's fun
'twas the burglar on the run
whose time was finally done
and the family 'twas stood stun
in this tale of fact once spun
though 'twas the dogs that could vote that truly won
my mother and i used to watch this show, but i was so little that i was pretty terrified of it all. i gotta hand it to jarvis for unlocking that memory and having his audience revisit the show!
I looved this show when I was younger and I love rewatching it now because it's so nostalgic. Exited to watch Jarvis react to it ^^
the editing in the intro literally screams 2000s and its iconic
Thank you for these Jarvis n team... they really help lighten the day.
Take a shot every time the actor says “this gun”
This show is like goose bumps for adults.
in germany berond belief was a huuge success. they actually made new episodes in 2021 for german tv.
for anyone interested its called “Xfactor: das unfassbare” but the stories were filmed and produced in germany so it sadly doesn’t have that american flair
Ahhh that's why it felt familiar but unfamiliar at rhe same time 😂
ohhh i knew it felt familiar, i just assumed it was the 2000s vibe lol
Thank you 🙏
See, like i *would* watch these alone, but the commentary from jarvis and chat just makes it extra funny
As somebody born in the mid eighties, every single story has at least one actor that I recognize as “that guy! What was he in?”
I had zero context going into this so its been a rollercoaster lmao
rewatching the whole playlist yet again‼️ seriously though, this, a puzzle, and a drink is peak.
“THE ANSWER ABOUT TO MAKE ME SELF-PORTRAIT” ty chat
Honestly the radio show one got me. I figured it was a true story, but that the guy was just having a mental breakdown.
"Mom, it's me!"
*Fires rapidly*
😆 almost got'im
"ghost dad said 'if i cant fly nobody can'" is the best quote from any jarvis video EVER.
nevermind, "Jump, jump, the house is gunnin'" is my new favourite
OMG My family used to watch it every weekend here in Germany. I love this show so much
as an aviation enthusiast and someone who has flown a small plane like that before, that first one hurt
I remember watching like 1 or 2 episodes of this at my friend's house in like 2013 and all I remember was a story about a woman putting her dog in the oven and killing it and the balloon chair guy
Were they fact or fiction??
@@_y0inks581 upon further information it may have been a separate, extremely similar show but the old woman putting her dog in the oven was fake but the balloon chair guy was real and it's actually a pretty fun story
I wasn't able to figure out when this was on TV on a regular basis, but it randomly showed up which added to the show's mystery. Loved the production value of each short story.
When he spoke about speed grapher thats when I knew jarvis was a REAL anime fan like one of the people really deep in the medium
I watched this video video in bed while really tired. I had just thrown up cause my anti depressants made me nauseous, and I hit my weed cart to make me feel better and I ended up falling asleep and having a dream where Javis was watching an imagery episode of this show on stream and every single story was back to back fact dispite them becoming increasingly unbelievable.
I can't believe they made a "creepy" story about a malfunctioning gun! FML XD
I could see how these stories are true, but greatly embellished.
Painter who "kills" painted terminally ill people, and died some time after painting his own portrait. The plane story? The unmanned airplane rolled down the runway and crashed, the pilot chalked it up to the spirit of his dad protecting him.
This show used to scare me as a kid. All the stories he would say were fact I really believed no question lol
This made me smile bro me and my parents used to watch this show when I was growing up both are deceased. To know I’m not the only one watching this is cool af keep making content brother 👍
9:15 i was not expecting the monster factory reference but i was laughing my ass off at this
Super important gun safety:
1-never point a gun at something you're not trying to shoot
2- never put your finger on the trigger until you want to shoot.
i love jarvis’s laugh so much it makes me so happy lol
"Oh nooo, trigger discipline! That's a thing, right? ... I don't know anything about guns"
- Jarvis Johnson, demonstrating he knows more about guns than a startlingly large portion of gun enthusiasts
I'm starting to develop a system: If the story is clearly impossible and would shatter everything we know about the natural world, it's FACT.
If it could have happened, at least in theory, it's FICTION.
Watched this show as a kid, I even remembered this episode! Love exploring this nostalgic trip down memory lane with Jarvis!
Man I love the fact that the Doctor Dad from the all access pass part is the host from Super Market Sweep
i miss these reacts, they brought me a lot of comfort and laughter when i was not doing so great
i loved this show growing up, can't believe I missed the stream!
i have genuinely never heard my last name anywhere outside of my hometown and the radio segment is freaking me out
i just realized it’s spelled the same way too which i ALSO have never seen
griffin mcelroy himself jumped on call to advocate for dogs suffrage
I was surprised more people in the chat didn't recognize "Michael" from the plane one from Cougar Town where he played Courtney Cox's character's ex-husband (who was still always around). To be fair, Jarvis's description of a cross between Michael J. Fox and Michael C. Hall was pretty good. I can't imagine he put the "Oh no" in his acting reel, though, lol
I was wondering why the host looked so familiar and then I realized that's our #1 boy, Commander Riker!
The Dexter stunt doubles is so funny to me because the dad from Smart Gun sounds like the guy who played Dexter's dad
Im so happy you’re doing this series 🤗 ❣️ I used to watch this (w/my sons too) but had NO idea it was created in the late 90’s.
Idk if you’re interested in having another series to feature on your show but there’s one we used to watch that might have been called 1000 Ways to Die (?) and I think it has the same concept where the viewer can guess which story is true or false/decide which seemingly unassuming or strange cause of death actually occurred.
By the way, I love your channel(s)- I’ve been a subscriber for YEARS & so has my youngest son (17 years old)💝👍🏽🙌🏽 🙌🏽
🦋❣️ Jarvis, I’m so happy for your success that’s so deserved and yet you’re still so deserving of so much more🙏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❣️
That painter is basically the Stand User for Rolling Stone except instead of a sculpture its for self-portraits
They say “it’s based on a similar event” that isn’t factual at all 😂
Super underated chat comment "dude looks like he should be on the 10 dollar bill"
Oh my god i used to watch this with my dad! We’d always guess which ones were which and it was one of our favourite shows. It was already super old when we were watching it though (in the late 2000s) because we only had cable with like 5 channels 😂 this made me so nostalgic.
so cool that you're watching these, I don't think they ever aired in Canada and I've always seen memes from this show so it's neat to finally see the origin
Fact or fiction bingo:
“it never happened”
“Not this time”
“extremely fake is true”
“Ghosts”
“Not death-related”
“Super powers”
“Super powers & fake”
This is one of my all time fav shows to run on tv ngl
I actually love fact or fiction. It's so crazy.
19:55 The male actor in this scene is on many shows, I remember seeing him in Murder She Wrote for 2-3 episodes, like many actors in the 80s/90s, they would appear in many shows on TV when being a TV actor was considered demeaning!
