"THREY DON'T COUNT 'C' GRADE STUDENTS" - awfully appropriate spelling error in the latest installment in the series Cracked: We Don't Give a Shit Anymore
It was on purpose you moran.
So what taht.
Sergei B that didn't come across.
Marle Simms oh yea, that is true
(also it happens at 1:48, if anyone is lazy)
Luli Unwin In the US, C is usually above 69% when grading, meaning it should be included since being average doesn't qualify a person as uneducated.
Arn't there different grading systems in different states tho? Also in Scotland you need above 70% for a A, 60% for a B and 50% for a C.
Here are the documentaries listed:
1) Super Size Me
2) Religulous
3) Searching for Sugar Man
4) Waiting for Superman
5) Gasland
6) Making a Murderer
7) Winged Migration
8) Nanook of the North
But there aren't many points about the documentaries, so don't expect much out of this video.
EDIT: edited this to make it less polarizing for people who think the world is black and white.
thanks this was fucking retarded this channel is bullshit haha
+Greenman 91 +1ucasvb I guess we should just assume that both of you and this video are all either true or "bullshit" based on which of you clueless idiots any viewer chooses to trust. So let me save you the remainder of your own lives, You don't know shit about shit, you don't know the truth or deception of any of this because there is nothing any of you have experienced to be able to discern fact from fiction as the only real quality any of you have is each being a little more clueless and idiotic than the other. Maybe do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up and stop talking about things you don't know anything about and will likely never understand. I expect if you did indulge my request the both of you would become mutes, which seems something too good to ever be true. So in lieu of that, just shut the fuck up. Your both clueless idiots and when you speak your monumental stupidity shows.
greenman 91 You got nothing from this you fucking inbred?
+Vincent Amour: That's a lot of hate and opinions extrapolated from a simple list. Maybe you should revisit how you think about people and their worldviews. It seems to me, from your attitude, that you are more guilty of the things you say than me or the other guy.
I watched the whole video thinking they'd bring good points about each documentary, but it was very obvious and superficial criticism with little humor. Which is a shame, because all of these documentaries have many things wrong with them worth mentioning. This video was extremely unsatisfying in that regard.
Additionally, most people will be only curious about documentaries that they have watched or are going to watch, so having a list of the ones mentioned in the video is, at least to me, something that would be appreciated by most people.
So please, don't be so quick to judge others. The world isn't black and white, and everybody has an unimaginable amount of reasons to do what they do.
I hope you can calm down and be less angry about these things. Cheers!
Vincent Amour Did you want to know how many grammatical and semantic mistakes you made while you were calling other people stupid or...?
This format doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how much bullshit was in some of these.
I hope your statement includes this video, because it also has a very unhealthy dose of bs.
Lev Bobrov
ooooo which ones piss you off?
Lev Bobrov- best point. (Some, sadly most people are followers - they are told something simple, like in this b.s. video and simply abide by it without looking into it. (See also our u.s. new$).
Echdrum what's sad is that as a Christian I've had atheist friends tell me to watch religious because it will "open my eyes"
Mr. Generic - I am an atheist. I'm also a huge Bill Maher fan. But Religulous was NOT a good movie. I can't understand why anyone would think that would "open the eyes" of a religious person. They'd have been better off simply talking to you, human to human.
People defending these documentaries have to realize that leaving mistakes in, and leaving out information that doesn't support their objective, makes it hard to take the documentary seriously.
GASLAND... Yes, that can happen without fracking, but fracking makes it a lot more likely. Saying they are stretching the truth is like saying you can get lung cancer without smoking, so you can't saying smoking causes lung cancer.
There where no case of Burning tab water that was proven to be real some people put there own Gas into it so they could sue. A real effect of Fracking is that natural Water sources including a lake had burnable gas coming out of it like a fucking whirlpool. Also it is shown that in areas with Fracking the amount of Earthquakes are going up.
Harvesting propane thousands of feet down does not cause methane to magically appear near the surface. As any miner will tell you, methane is common just below the surface. Methane and propane are not the same substance- they want you to think fracking is causing *propane* to leak out of wells. Ridiculous.
Pygar2 that's not what happens the chemical we flood down there are fucking flammable and toxic that shit ales leaks out because no one gives a shit I know me and my uncle have both worked on rigs
those people live on methane deposits and don't have city water. fracking has 0 negative effects on the environment according to the EPA. they want to"regulate" it so badly but truthfully it is safer than the MSM reports.
Tyler Randall
"fracking has 0 negative effects on the environment according to the EPA."
This is just a fucking lie. The EPA never said 9 negative effects and their own science advisors have attacks the study as flawed.
www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2016/08/11/epas-science-advisers-challenge-agency-report-on-the-safety-of-fracking/
Let me take one, less then 1 minute clip, of each movie to show everyone how the whole thing is a lie.
Managed Failure They've done an article on this exact subject that goes into detail (like in Supersize me, threy leave out that he went from regularly working out to not at all, ate the worst options in the biggest sizes, and that he was a vegan for years prior... meaning his body was unused to red meat that it suddenly had to subsist on)
But in the Supersize me at the end he was vegan as diet for couple of months and then returned to eat red meat. There was no indications that he was vegan from the start and there were an argument between him and his GF about been a vegan.
Classtoise what you did threy, I see it
Well, the Supersize Me clip is the entire crux of the Documentary. Making A Murder is a lot of shit they left out. Waiting For Superman is also part of the main point of the film. Religulous includes a lot more made up shit, than just what's shown in the clip. And Nanook of the North is completely made up.
Exactly.
on the subject of Making a Murderer:
The main issue is that, when LEO & prosecution have been shown to fabricate evidence, it calls the veracity of all other evidence into question.
"Ok, sure, we planted that one, but the rest is 100% true. Honest"
^ This. How can you trust a system that has already used its power in a corrupt way? All is reasonable doubt beyond that point. Police fucked up and now they have to deal with the consequences.
Doesnt matter his actions show he was guilty, independent of anything that LEO may have done, which by the way has never been admitted too nor proved, despite hundreds of thousands of dollars beings spent to benefit the guilty man.
@@ddave7026 the bullet didnt have any bone matter though buddy and a bullet would have skull fragments on it if that 22 actually made it out of her skull
you guys need to watch the new season
Yep. Not to mention, it was impossible to get the fire hot enough to incineration Teresa Halbach's body.
Just the way Brenden Dassy was interrogated should have gotten his case thrown out.
Leaving out the fact that in Super Size Me he makes the rule for himself that he has to eat everything the meal comes with and if they ask him if he wants to supersize the combo he has to. So yeah, in the three meals a day he eats 200% because he was handed that much food.
@BillowsPillow he also admitted to being an alcoholic since he was a teen so to be fair you probably could get 5k calories per day if you supplement your McDonald's with a shit ton of beer or liquor lmao
Corn syrup loaded sodas, and very low nutrition value foods.
@BillowsPillow A simple google search proves that wrong.
@BillowsPillow I literally just looked it up and it says McDonald's has been using high fructose corn syrup in their coke since the 80s. The only coke I'm aware that uses real cane sugar is the Mexican coke that comes in glass bottles.
@BillowsPillow Who the hell cares? Fast food is garbage anyways, home cooked meals are tastier, hell, even if you’re out and can’t make anything or bring anything you can at least stop at places that are healthier alternatives. People defending fast food really make me question the thought process of them 💀
"Documentaries that are full of shit"
v
"Documentaries that stretch to truth"
v
"Here's something they forgot to say!"
ironic typo at 1:48
Or, intentional typo for the sake of humor. The world may never know...
Justin McNeil do Americans really say 1/4th, as in one fourth? I thought you'd say one quarter, like we do in the UK, but no one's commented on this being a possible mistake in the video - just interested, really.
Susy Jack - we use both interchangeably
Typos aren't ironic.
Yeah. They're predestined.
So we're labeling the entire Gasland documentary as full of shit because of one scene that has one possible, but highly improbable based on all the circumstances of fracking in the area, alternate explanation for the water lighting on fire?
Does a leaky well explain all the health problems covered in the documentary as well?
Nate Great point.
Excellent point. Just because there could be an alternate explanation for the water lighting on fire, doesn't mean that the reason for it catching fire as stated, is not valid.
1:46 "THREY don't count 'C' Grade students." That had me laughing the hardest. Well done guys.
soooo.... not documentaries "Full of Shit" just documentaries that got some stuff wrong. I don't have an opinion either way on any of these Docs but don't knock entire films as being completely full of shit because they get some things wrong. Oh and on the religolous one. They had a bunch of other examples that WERE accurate.
Most of the examples in that movie were utter shit. That movie was crap.
I agree except on the Inuit one. That one was indeed full of Sh*t.
But was the inuit one even intended as a documentary? I mean, I know people took it that way, but I always thought it was clear that it was a movie, the first mockumentary.
Supersize Me: no one has ever been able to reproduce his results. In multiple studies. Also, one of the studies looked at the number of calories he was claiming to have eaten per day, and found that would only be possible if all of his meals were supersized (only four were in the month) and if he also had a large soda and dessert. No studies reported the mood swings, depression or liver problems he reported.
Religilous was an opinion piece that took information from the "documentary" Zeitgeist, which was a total and complete crock of shit. He just wanted to bash religion, and instead of doing the research and finding the TOTALLY BASHABLE STUFF, he just made the whole thing a shit show.
Looking for Sugar Man... Dude, he was on tour. He was also a massive hit in various countries around the world, not just South Africa. They made him sound like a failed artist with one failed record. Like he was shocked he had any fans.
Waiting for Superman: charter schools are often worse than public schools depending on the area and believing that they will save everything will just hurt more kids. This movie had good intentions, but was worded very poorly.
I don't know about the fracking one or making a murderer.
Winged Migration trained birds to fly in patterns, admitted to covering a bird in oil for the shot, rescued the bird from crabs, and worked on stages.
And Nanook of the North? His name wasn't even Nanook and an actress played his wife instead of his real wife. This only exists because the technology was so new, the director thought he needed something amazing and people still thought back then that the "eskimos" actually lived like that and would have disappointed to see the truth.
So... Full of shit, full of shit, full of shit, full of shit, idk, idk, the biggest crate of bullshit you can order.
MaleficaWitch Nanook of the North was intended as a documentary they even showed students it basically the director wanted to show Eskimos the way he had known them but by the time he did the documentary the Eskimos had advanced in technology he got them to skill a seal or something with spears when they wanted to use guns which they considered were more humane.
The info that Cracked stated in the Making A Murder Documentary is actually mostly false.
The bullet with Teresa Halbach's DNA was never matched to Stevens gun. All they knew for sure was that the bullet was a 22. calibre round. However the bullet was far to damaged and could not be directly linked to a specific gun. The details surrounding how and when this bullet was found are also rather questionable.
It is also true that Steven Avery called Teresa Halbach's phone three times that day. He was calling her because he had an appointment for her to come and photograph a vehicle to be sold in Auto Trader magazine.
Teresa's phone was found on the property of Steven Avery, however the circumstances surrounding the search which turned up such evidence was also questionable.
I'm disappointed Cracked.... You basically made a video and put fourth some rather inaccurate information.
All of which was in a video talking about other videos which used inaccurate information.
Some of your other statements about the other films was not entirely accurate.
Err, no, the bullet with her DNA was forensically tied to Avery's gun. A quick Google search will tell you that.
I'm really disappointed in your willingness to simply believe a "documentary" that has been repeatedly called out for twisting the facts and leaving out evidence in support of their own agenda. Especially when you have easy access to the actual facts at your fingertips.
hothamandfauri Threy
They found his DNA in her car, he had told people in prison that he would make cunts pay for what they did to him, and then there's the small matter of her being dead on his property. If he didn't do it, who did? The cops murdered her and planted her body on his land to frame him...the day that he was calling her? Someone had a bonfire to incinerate her bones in front of his house, and he didn't notice or alert anyone "hey, someone is burning a body in front of my house?"
Fuck off. Making a Murderer was horseshit.
aluisious Why would killing her "make them pay"? It doesn't make sense...
aluisious Nah man, what you just said is all horseshit. Of course he called her...she had an appointment to the property. There's evidence the fire was moved after the fact. The officers who found the evidence against him being who they were, and not having checked in at the site, and not supposed to be there to begin with. Not suspicious?
Waiting For Superman is the biggest pie of shit documentary maybe ever. It was financed by Pro Charter School groups and the for profit industry that has grown up around them. Most students have improved since the 70s, and black students have improved hugely since the 70s.
Plus, Charter Schools do worse on average than public schools do.
Actually on average they are the same.
About one forth are worse and one forth are better, I went to both.
And neither taught you how to spell "fourth." (Sorry, couldn't resist! Don't take it personally.)
VioletTheGeek
Go fourth from here and take your ''' nonsense somewhere else.
Tevo77777 Now you're just messing with me, lol! (That usage *should* be spelled "forth.")

Stop being a dumbass.
You can forget about Supersize me as not being truthful. This is how most Americans eat McDonalds, they eat a lot of it, and they eat it 3 times a day if its the only thing they can "afford" to eat. Which naturally, is far more calories than most human beings need in a day. Morgan Spurlock used realistic variables. People who eat fast food every day of their lives aren't eating normal portion sizes, they eat it till their stomach is full. This is in most cases 8-10x your normal required caloric intake for a day.
I can only give you a 1/10 troll attempt. I'd give you a zero, but I replied.
Is the point of the documentary that Mcdonalds is an evil corporation making America fat, or is it implying that Americans have terrible eating habits which we should remedy before we all die of heart disease?
I think if the latter is the case, there are much better ways the documentary could have gone about making that problem known if they wished to be honest. Instead they shifted the blame towards the fast food industry, which are doing nothing wrong and for the most part have healthier options on the menu.
Showing one person getting fat and unhealthy on a fast food only diet doesn't show anything that everyone doesn't already know.
They could have also shown the same person eating only salads, fruits, grains, and lean meats and drinking only water from mcdonalds and it would have been a perfectly healthy diet and he might have even been healthier than he was before.
If they were to interview people and ask them what their diet usually consists of, why they eat the way they do, etc. while also showing how easy it is to have a healthy diet on a budget without much more effort, they could have actually helped some people and made the real issues obvious to more people.
Obesity is a pretty easy problem to fix when you look at the facts, the only hindrance is the lack of initiative(and logic, for that matter).
fats food is not cheaper then a nice meal you could make at home
people are just being lazy and using the excuse that its "cheap"... when in reality its not cheerer then a meal you could make yourself.
but you are right on people who are poor tending to eat this way.
if there's only one of you, it's at least as cheap as home-cooked and also easier on your utilities.
if there's 2 or more of you, then your selection of home meal options grows beyond rice and beans and becomes competitive with fast food.
if there's 6 of you, you can probably have steak at home and it might still be cheaper than taking the whole family to mcdonalds.
rwgeach you can make many home cooked dishes for just one person... you can make things to freeze for later use. such as broths... stews/soups...sauces. for example you can make a good size batch of sauce freeze portions of it....then you thaw out one portion to use over some noodles or chicken....depending on the sauce.
this would save time and money
what about that old documentary on lemmings?
I was going to say the same thing.
far as I know the documentary isn't famous at alljust the lies it told that got spread :D
Disney 1958. White Wilderness. Saw it in elementary school. Totally fake AND inspired an urban legend (just for that it should be #1 on the list). Even snopes broke it down.
I was expecting it to be on the list, but then it wasn't....I suppose they might have had a time limit for the video....otherwise, there's a lot of documentaries that could be included.
Or even any of the Marty Stouffer "Wild America" episodes.....so much has come out now on the BS he'd do to stage the animal fights or the number of laws he broke to get his footage, one could do a whole documentary on his documentaries.
I *KNEW* Super Size Me would be on this list.
For those who don't know, the person who "debunked" that film didn't even know Morgan Spurlock ate the desserts at MacDonalds. Morgan Spurlock says up front that he is going to eat every item on the menu at least once, so the person who "debunked" clearly never watched the film.
The point of the film was that fast food meals have too many calories for the average person.
BrotherAlpha Spurlock also left out that he was a vegan before this for years (so a sudden huge intake of red meat did weird things) and stopped his normal exercise routine.
dude is a liar. doesn't mean McDonald's is good for you but he's still a liar.
Classtoise
"Spurlock also left out that he was a vegan before this for years..."
No he wasn't. His girlfriend was a vegan and they would have some vegan meals together, but he wasn't a vegan himself.
"... and stopped his normal exercise routine."
He actually mentions that in the movie. He said he he went from his usual routine to exercising as much as the average American does.

"Regardless of what the argument being put forth in your link, the fact is that Spurlock's 'Super Size Me' is a far bigger pile of bullshit than 'Fathead'."
Translation: "Facts don't matter, because I have my preferred conclusion already."
Yeah, go fuck yourself.
"I will read over the link you sent me and comment about it next time around."
Don't bother. You are clearly a waste of time.

"Hmm, you seem to be one very irrational and 'triggered' person."
Translation: "I can't argue with facts, so I'm going to use buzzwords instead."
If you act like an idiot, you will get called an idiot. That doesn't mean the other person is "triggered".
"I don't have a 'preferred conclusion'."
You determined the article I sent you was biased when you admitted you didn't have time to read it.
"Whether you want to believe the true statements put forth in 'Fathead' or accept the biased opinion of the writer of the article you sent me..."
HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHA!!!
"Chances are you aren't going to give up alcohol or pot, or whatever your choice of 'coping' drug is."

By zero historical evidence of Horus walking on water, do you mean we don't have records of that being a written story predating the Old Testament? Because I'm pretty sure nobody thought Bill was suggesting he actually did those things.
There is nothing about that in the book of the dead, or in any other authenticated scripture.
Christopher wootton yes, the primary sources do not support the supposed parallels. apart from the fact that the Gospels are written from a primarily Jewish perspective and it is a peculiar segue to try to intetpret them from a Pagan one.
Morpheus_00 The gospels are not written from a Jewish perspective.
Jesus was Jewish, all the gospel writers were Jewish, all the main NT writers were Jewish. How is that not a Jewish perspective?
Morpheus_00 Because the Gospels were written well after (2nd to 4th centuries AD) Jesus was supposed to have lived , the 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were not written by Jews, or people of Jewish descent.
You might be confusing the Gospels with the Twelve Apostles, which some like St. Paul who was born as Sha'ul ha-Tarsi were Jewish.
And even out of the Twelve Apostles only Paul (Sha'ul), Judas, Simon, Mathew (possibly Matityahu) and Bartholomew (possibly Nathanael) were likely to be Jewish if existed, the rest were Greek, Roman or any other regional religion.
And far as we know for "sure" only Paul and Judas were actually Jewish.
Overall the only books in the NT canon that were written by Jews other than the OT canon are the Books of the Maccabees and these technically belong to the OT since they written in the era of the 2nd Temple and the Great Jewish revolt.
So... because the creators felt sorry for a bird about to get eaten alive by crabs, the entire documentary is "full of shit"?
yes but..... i m actuelly happy to now know the bird was not eaten alive but saved...
@@sadev101 Yeah.... and the crabs all got to have a feast too.... poor fish though.... he was already dead anyway..... hmmmmm ;P
The entire point of documentary is to DOCUMENT the accounts, not actively participate and interfere with nature to " get the money shot"
@@BoleDaPole Aaaaah.... I dunno. If it were an actual "history documentary".. or even better, news reporting, yeah.. the accounting of the actual events in proper sequence, is tantamount.
But when they are making "educational, nature documentaries", I believe there is a little room for creating the conditions for events to unfold in order to film it, without having to roll around in mud for half of a year, hoping something will happen, so you can film it.
But sure, yeah... there is also the possibility of "crossing that line", where nature become falsely represented.... Making us believe that the crabs ate that bird, did "cross that line". But at least "it could have easily happened that way..... The worst example of, which CROSSED EVERY LINE DRAWN FOR DECENCY AND TRUTH... which is .... Disney Lemmings.... Horrible!!!!... and even still today, most people believe that lemmings go on suicidal rampages every couple of years... it is a meme... "don't be a lemming, and just follow the crowd"... ALL BECAUSE OF DISNEY.
Sunday night "Wonderful World of Color", which was PRIME TIME FAMILY VIEWING, Disney presentation, which showed lemmings hurling themselves off of cliffs, and into the churning ocean.... in the intro of every show.....
But we later find out that the "documentarians" staged that scene with live lemmings that they loaded onto a horizontal wheel platform and "spun them into the air, off of the cliff"... just to get that "money shot". Once that awful little factoid finally emerged, Disney stopped showing it... but it ran for YEARS!
It's nature. It's either kill or be killed.
What about the Disney documentary that single handedly started the myth that lemmings commit mass suicides?
Bunny Senpai They don't?!? Damn you Disney for fooling me!!! I reference that (fake) fact too often...
Well that's time I'll never get back. Thanks for reminding me why I don't watch anything but "After Hours" and "OPCD".
Don't bother with real analysis, just nitpick a few details and then dismiss the entire documentary.
With the exception of the last one, these aren't even examples of "really stretching the truth", much less being "Full of Shit".
I enjoy some of the in-depth analyses by guys like Daniel O'Brien and Alex Schmidt, but a 4-minute text video tearing apart multiple documentaries at 30 seconds a piece is definitely not their strong suit.
So, you're dismissing the entire video based on nitpicking a couple words in the title?
Yes. It is lazy and not worth the time it takes to watch.
Tiberius James So you wasted even more time by commenting?
I don't consider the time commenting to be wasted. If I can save someone else 4:30 of their life that they will never get back, I consider it a service to humanity.
This video is garbage.
I saw more bias stemming from the producer of this video than in the documentaries they were commenting on.
It looks like Cracked really had to stretch even to get as much as they did for this one.
Very good point BigRalphSmith.
You're really missing the point of the supersize me scene. Yes of course eating too many calories - regardless of what food you eat - can lead to obesity. However (as Morgan Spurlock says in literally THE NEXT SCENE YOU SHOW) - he has a desire to eat more and more of the fast food than normal. This is because fast food has virtually no nutritional value. If you eat food with little nutritional value, you will still be hungry because your body is still craving nutrients. Furthermore, junk food, including McD's, is intentionally designed to be addictive, often containing an excess of sugar and salt to make you want to eat more of it. He eats 200% more BECAUSE the food he's eating is so shitty and bad for you. Eating the fast food makes him want to eat excessively because it isn't satisfying or filling, and is in fact addicting. This is why fast food contributes to obesity
Yes, it is designed to be addictive, but they did the math and still couldn't match what he claimed to have eaten with his actual plan. Based on his weight gain, the guy would have been eating something like 5000 calories per day, and virtually no one - even the biggest lovers of McDonalds - would normally push themselves to eat that much. One can just as easily lose weight eating little more than fast food. See the documentary Fat Head. (Disclosure: it also has it's fair share of BS).
He didn't really eat that excessively though, the meals were normal portions. It wasn't like he was ordering 5 big macs at a time. He just ate McDs for every meal and had to have everything on the menu at least once I believe. And his rule was that if they asked him to supersize it then he would. It's a boatload of calories in that stuff so if you have it for three meals a day then yeah, you're going to eat way beyond the recommended amount to calories.
C_Schultz73 actually he did eat excessively. They did the math and it wasn't possible to gain that much weight on the calories that he showed during the movie. Even at supersized portions, you would maybe hit 3000 calories or so. He hit more like 5000. He purposely ate more than any human being would normally eat to smear McDonalds.
There isn't added sugar in fast food, for the most part. Unless you get the desserts, which few do. The only sugar on a Big Mac is from the onions and ketchup. Most people get burger, fries, and drink. The drink has TONS of sugar. But people should be attacking the soda industry, not the fast food industry.
Andrew Brookes I'm pretty sure there's added sugars in stuff like the buns
Wow. Documentaries are bullshit. Give me 200 Big Macs
Bill McIntyre trust me sir, even 200 tomato out right won't be good for you.
What? How many should I eat then? 400? 600? 200 is hard enough as it is!
It would be a lot better for you than 200 Big Macs. I like how they they act like eating twice as many vegetables as you need would make you as fat as eating twice as many Big Macs. Cracked is more full of shit than some of these documentaries.
LogicBeforeNorms they never said that
LogicBeforeNorms from caloric point, it is the same. However since vegetable and fruits( save for seeds, nuts and grains) tend to contain much less calories than meat, your stomach would probably explode before you are able to actually eat twice.
"If you can't trust a documentary, there's literally nothing left to trust on this planet."
And I'm not sure I trust Cracked either....
So U Trust Yourself. Many Are So Outwards That They Forget Their Answers Are Inward. May This Be Helpful
Just make an article if your gonna make me read the entire thing....
need a tissue?
Yatsura2 No, he needs an apostrophe and an ‘e’...
"full of shit" and "have a mistake or two" isn't the same thing and doesn't devaule the documentary unless it directly influences conclusions drawn or big points in the film.
the supersize me one is totally BS though
So is making a murderer, the guy did it and they skillfully crafted a narrative that seemed convincing, then put it out in a documentary format to trick you into believing it was the truth
Just like CHEDDAR MAN - they make a big song and dance about how he was black to push this narrative, but then , just like pretty much everyone knew before hand, they reveal they don't have like 3 key codes that dictate colour and tons of other factors to prove that their theory was just made up nonsense they couldn't verify whatsoever, it was just a big anti-white propaganda piece for clicks.
Aaron Babyblue they didn’t even bother mentioning Cheddar Man was found in the same cave as other MUCH older remains that were clearly white European. In the same cave.... lol
pretty much . We are more closer related to the whole Breadbasket of humanity in the middle east , Egyptians are/were white, not the murked Muslim style of today that is of a more recent imported phenomenon of last 1000 years ish
In the "making a murderer" points
Of course he called the victim 3 times that day and her phone was on his property-
She was selling his car for him in a magazine and taking photos of it. It's never been denied she was on site. If her CAR was "found" really obviously "hidden" on the lot- a phone that was maybe left in the car could easily have been planted at the same time as the keys.
And the clips they used were from his first trial, in which he was definitively innocent by DNA and alibis. So in doing a video about misleading documentaries, Cracked themselves mislead.
yeh
look into a little more deeply and you'll see he specifically asked for that woman herself to come. the doc is good but its very biased.
Detail this video leaves out, they are referring to the case where he was proven innocent.

next time on talking is hard, 8 reasons the ocean is really scary
I'm actually taking a class on ancient civilizations this semester, it involves reading a lot of primary sources from many places (Babylon, Egypt, Mesopotamia, etc.). Abrahamic religions (including Christianity) definitely were based on previously existing polytheistic beliefs. There's almost nothing in Christianity that isn't a recycled doctrine from a previous religion.
Yes, perhaps your only source should not be the known farcical film Zeitgeist.
Realistically, I can draw parallels from anything to anything else if I liberal hard enough. Want to see how the Japanese totally copped their culture from the Aztecs? Well with enough liberal education, you can!
Nope that's completely true. I didn't even take any classes on the subject and I already knew that. It's kind of obvious if you compare religions of the past with Christianity today. They change some details while others stay the same.
Greek mythology, Zeus impregnated a mortal woman who was a virgin, and she gave birth to his son Hercules. Sound familiar at all? Jesus Christ and Hercules are given vastly different powers but their origins of being born to a virgin woman impregnated by a god are exactly the same. How can you look at that and not see that Christianity borrowed from other religions of the past?
Zeus, Jupiter, Raiden, Jehovah, ect. ect. they're all the same damn thing. And in case you're thinking that Jupiter is a planet not a god, all the planets in our solar system were named after Roman Gods.
RialVestro What a fucking stretch. It's pretty obvious you didn't take any classes, nor know nothing about Greek mythology.
Hercules (Roman name, btw you fuckin idiot. Greek name Heracles) was born to Alcmene as a result of an affair with Zeus. An affair conducted by Zeus DISGUISING HIMSELF AS HER HUSBAND.
Nowhere in the myth does it state she was a virgin and given that it says she "honored her husband more than any other woman" it is pretty fuckin safe to assume that she was not a virgin.
They're not the same thing. But being as you are a braindead twat, it's easy to see how you came to that conclusion. It's what I was talking about about earlier. You idiots wantonly distort the truth in order to draw parallels to whatever you want because hurr durr muh liberal edjamucation
Wow so I guess education is too liberal for some people (I'm not even a liberal btw). It's not just Greek myths either, I was mostly referring to civilizations in the fertile crescent that predate the Romans because that is where most of the primary sources I have read come from.
So it's not just Hercules (or Heracles if you're really in the mood for nitpicking and condescension) there has been dozens of religious and political figures that claim to have been born of a virgin (usually fathered by whatever the most powerful god in their pantheon happens to be). Now you're going to say "it's not being born of a virgin if a god fathered them", which is true. Who was it that supposedly got Mary pregnant? Would you say that she did it herself? Did Jesus somehow will himself into existence before he was conceived? Or was it God (who Jesus repeatedly claimed was his father)?
It's not just the virgin birth either, just about every single belief in Christianity (and just about every other currently practiced religion) can be traced back to a previously existing religion/belief system. Humans aren't that original.
Did you miss the part where Hercules wasn't born to a virgin, you fuckin dolt? Did that escape you?
Also it doesn't matter how liberal you consider yourself. Your professors likely are. The oversaturation of regressive liberalism on college campuses is well documented.
Aww, it's kinda touching you put away your "non-interference policy" to save the life of animal who was having a really bad day.

But portraying it as a factual event is lying. Which is something you don't want to do on a documentary.
Stop typing and start narrating.
Threy won't do that...
Seriously, I hope 1:47 is a joke. Is the show made in Washington DC?
Stop bitching and start unsubbing.
I already unsubbed.
+Pretzil43 there are so many inside jokes that this entire channel might as well be a joke.
Most of those have near zero context. I'm not sure what your problem is with 'Supersize Me'. What truth did they stretch? She said he was eating too much food. You agreed with that.
Rick McCallister My problem is that I didn't have any real context, because I never saw the movie. But I suspect they go over the fact that fast food is engineered to be addictive. And humans don't recognize calories when eating. A high-calorie candy bar is not MORE filling than a low-calorie piece of fruit. The point is that, in order to feel full, people tend to eat MORE when it's fast food.
Rick McCallister you're not getting it. This Cracked video HERE didn't give me enough context to understand what problems they had with many of these films. My problem is with Cracked, NOT Supersize Me.
Rick McCallister That movie is in no way ubiquitous. In most of Cracked videos, they EXPLAIN the situation. In this one, they didn't. Pretty fucking simple.
Dude decides to make a movie to show how McDonald's makes people fat then eats twice as much McDonald's as he needs to and gets fat. Context.
There's multiple "comedy" bits in the film where he eats too much, because that's what his plan for the Documentary demands, and not because he's hungry (and is in fact, already full). He also goes to McDonlads for every meal, something no one actually does.
This is just as heavily biased, if not more so, than the documentaries it supposedly exposes. Cite your sources or GTFO.

Yes Kevin, he is, and rightly so. I myself am of Inuit decent, and I remember the first time I tried to eat a record, and the last time too... That was less then three years ago. You wouldn't understand any of what I'm saying because you're a white person. Check mate! If the people filming had been correct about my culture, it brings the rest of what was said here into question.
Of course not, but no matter what this video critiqued; if you're going to correct someone you need to provide evidence of your facts. Cracked is no better than these documentaries.
Ian Swart I know they're nanook of the north one is true because I studied it in film class also its on wiki detailing all the stuff the guy changed to show his idea os Eskimos opposed to how Eskimos had advanced at that point
Ian Swart as for the others..I didnt study them so idk hahaha
These would be much more enjoyable if there was a voice-over rather than the typing characters, which are distracting and often hard to read
Why is it hard to read? You just have to glance at it for half a second. They put up like 5 words at a time.
What so hard about having a narrator? Its only like 5 words at a time.
shwetank verma they are typing as people in the videos are talking.
Because the words flash on the video then just as quickly disappear, completely taking my eyes off of the actual video, instead concentrating on trying to make out what it says before the words are gone. Would be much more enjoyable if I could just watch a video. A nice fact about videos is that they come with audio, would be great if they made better use of it.
reorourke You can't read?
One thing that should be mentioned about Super Size me was there was a documentary "Fat Head" which called out the fact that he couldn't have gotten that many calories a day if he followed his rules also he refused repeatedly to reveal his calorie intake folder
Wasn't there another documentary that actually followed the rules he set in supersize me and the guy didn't gain like 200 pounds.
Also nutritionists have duplicated the diet as a study and found it to be bs
For the Making a Murderer one, they showed the bullet in question, as well as the circumstances by which it was obtained and the fact that the lab was unreliable. He called her three times that day because they had a meeting to take pictures of his truck. And as well as the cell phone, they found her car keys with ONLY Steven Avery's DNA despite the fact that she had been using them for years.
Exactly.
1:46 - I hate to be that guy, but it's "they"* not "threy"...
No shit.
this is only funny because threy try to attack a documentary about education
You really think that wasn't intentional, when it was the sentence about C-students?
be that guy, that hero
it's a fucking *typo*
Did that last one give anyone Legend of Korra flashbacks?
***** The villains were pretty amazing! Definitely surprised when Nickelodeon upped the ante and aired a murder/suicide in season 1.
Varick and Julie though 😍
It would have been nice if you actually stated what the documentary was trying to portray before posting the facts against them.
This isn't really "Documentaries that are full of shit," this is "Documentaries that have some misleading information."
I mean, Supersize Me was based on an exaggerated premise, but it's aim wasn't to be completely realistic, it was to show how a reliance on fast food and no physical exercise could be damaging, and it's not totally unreasonable to claim that many Americans indulge in that lifestyle.

Vega punk zeitgeist is not a documentary
Because everything there is 100% true.
It depends on which Zeitgeist documentary you watched. Their social and economical one is great, while others are complete nutter, especially the religious one.
The "virgin birth" was actually from the Septuagint(Greek bible). In the original Hebrew writings the term used meant "young woman" but when translated to Greek they used the term "virgin". So it is not a prophecy that Jesus had to have been born from a virgin. In fact God mad a promise to David that one of his descendants would be king of the Hebrews. And for that to occur, he had to have been fathered by Joseph, a descendent of king David. So they are canceling out a true prophecy in order to push a fake one based on Hebrew to Greek translation issues.
TRUE SWOLDIER
It doesn't help that modern Christians got that supposedly from the book of Isaiah, only that is a known failed prophecy of one man, not a messianic prophecy.
So much of what people see in contemporary king James versions of the Bible is from the miscopied mistranslated misremembered vulgate version of the Bible. The old testament itself is a total hack job of the Jewish holy texts. Don't get me started on the "10" commandments lol.
TRUE SWOLDIER +Yup. The original term was “almah” meaning a girl of marriageable age. The correct term for a virgin would be “bethulah”. And of course the surrounding text has nothing to do with Jesus.
Mary and Joseph are both decendents... According to the text, anyway. Which never states how their family lines were traced back that far
Septuagint was only the Torah, later Greek translations included remaining books, and roughly 700 years after ptolemy 2nd had the Torah transcribed, the new testiment was transcribed. Point being many many many Greek translations existed, but only one Septuagint, which it did not include later old testiment books.
Stop making me _read_ videos! You have actors, use them to narrate.

1st world problems at its best
Can you blame them with the bird/crab one through? I would have saved him too.
With Super Size me I think you guys clearly did not get the full picture. Yes if you go over your recommended caloric intake or your macros for your lifestyle you will gain weight but the problem is with caloric density vs satiation. If the food has a high caloric density and doesn't seemingly fill you up leaving you still hungry after consuming a massive quantity of calories then yes there is a problem with your choice in foods. Which ultimately is what the documentary is saying.
Waiting for Superman had all kinds of inaccuracies and was clearly a proponent piece for Charter and privatized school systems. One of the main lies they perpetuated was their issues with unions and tenure making the case that teachers under union or tenure simply cannot be fired for negligence or poor performance which is absolutely wrong wrong wrong. (So wrong that I had to say it two more times.)
If you guys want the lowest hanging fruit of all Documentaries you should take on Expelled: No intelligence allowed. It's an attempt to be the mouthpiece for all of those Christians who think they are being persecuted right now. It's a great demonstration of how religious conditioning allows otherwise intelligent people to come to false conclusions about science and the world around them creating an "us versus them" atmosphere when it comes to religion and reality.
R.I.P. - Critical Thought and Analysis. You may have had a very brief and obscure life on this planet but you will be thoroughly missed. Guess it's just much more convenient to repeat falsehoods than it is to actually look into anything.
SeptixSkeptix that is why traditionally people added vinegar to white carbs or you know, they ate fiber.
There's the additional fact that nobody can replicate the guy's results from Super Size Me, the data suggests he wasn't following his own rules, and there are people who have demonstrated you can actually lose weight on an entirely McD's diet. In fact, there's another documentary that basically craps all over Super Size Me called Fat Head.
twitchascension
I'll definitely check that out.
Oh absolutely. You can lose weight while using just about anything for sustenance give or take a few variables. I remember awhile back ago there was a professor who demonstrated weight loss with a Twinkie diet. I'd have to go back and read up on it but I'm almost positive he remained hungry throughout the entire duration of his experiment given the high amounts of sodium, fats, and sugars in just one little portion.
Kept his daily intake to 1800 calories though which brings me back to my original point.
The point is that comparatively, there are just far better choices when it comes to satiation and nutrition.
As far as the Super Size me guy not sticking to his own rules, I didn't really scrutinize his methodology too much while watching it because I really expected it to be anecdotal from the start.
Super Size Me was bullshit. There is not a big problem with fast food. I have lunch at McDonald's pretty often. It's not a satiety problem...if you eat the McDouble and then wait five minutes, you feel satiated. It's a "stuffing my face as fast as I can because I eat to feel better" problem. You can eat any fatty meat at any restaurant faster than you can feel full.
You are carrying an anecdotal argument and I can prove to you with verifiable fact that not only are there healthier alternatives but it is downright bad for your health in general. I can also prove to you through studies showing the effects that fats, salts, and sugars have on satiety. Fat and sodium dense foods are found to be the least satiating yet most appealing to our sense of taste which is one of the main causes of overeating.
I'm at 0:35. Cracked says "If you eat 200% of your daily needs, yes (you're more prone to being obese)... Incidentally how all foods work."
The point of the documentary is that regular consumption of fast food (specifically McDonalds) gives the consumer "hankering" in an almost addictive effect which in turn makes them eat more than they're supposed to. So no, they're not full of sh*t in that specific sense that you pointed out.
Enn Spiral I'm pretty sure that documentary is bs though. Like all of his symptoms when he would go to the doctor. Studies mimicked his methods and got none of his conditions.
Yeah his impotence was supposedly caused by McDonald's...I hardly ever eat fast food and I think that's ridiculous.
life style factors is one cause of impotence
other causes can include Obesity, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure... all things eating a lot of fast food could cause or play a contributing factor to.
i am not sure how accurate his was or the documentary was about this ... but fast food could effect it
He over ate and he got unhealthy. I remember that Supersize Me documentary got debunked years ago, I was taking a chefs course so had to learn about healthy eating, and there were nutritionists who went on mcdonalds only diet for months and actually lost weight and stayed healthy. The difference was that they were consuming not more than they needed and also did moderate exercise like walking 4-5 days a week. A sedentary lifestyle is one of the largest cause of obesity and death.
Ponen Longchar I would need actually citations and evidence they only ate McDonald's and stayed healthy. for one McDonald's in no way can provide all the nutrients one needs daily.
you can loose weight on any food so long as you undereat your calorie amount. Freaking you can loose weight on a diet of candy. doesn't mean it's healthy.
Super Size me was way more to do with how horribly unhealthy fast food is not so much that it makes you fat (which it does)
"not so much that it makes you fat "
Um, it was _called:_ "Super Size Me."
And the "Me" in the logo is expanded for effect.
That feels like it's about the weight gain.
But if you watch the Doc, you'd know that one of his rules is that he HAD to say yes if the cashier asked if he wanted his meal super-sized. He wasn't allowed to suggest it himself, but if they asked him if he wanted it unprompted, he had to say 'yes, Super-size me". That is where the name comes from.
Jack Landon
I understand, but the design of the logo and the clear double meaning make it obvious that he was talking about weight gain _in addition to_ the general unhealthiness of the food
I bet if I ate one Big Mac a day and nothing else except plain water I could lose weight. A big mac is less than 1000 calories but I need atleast 2500 to break even.
dannydaw59 maybe but take into account that calories from foods high in artificial preservatives are mostly calories your liver will turn to fat and your body will feel starved and turn everything you eat into nutrient rich fat because it thinks its gonna starve so most likely you will lose weight but actually gain significant amounts of body fat while your body consumes your muscle because its easier to break down.
Threy can't read good.
JP1348 apparently Cracked believes we can't either
And cracked can't spell either 1:47. Threy are idiots.
Not sure if deliberate or not...
It's deliberate. It would a lot of coincidence if their only spelling error in the entire video happened to be in a sentence about poor education and spelling.
The sad thing is that most those documentaries still would have been able to drive home their underlying point even if they had told the complete truth. They probably felt they had to fudge things in order to sensationalize things but it undermines their credibility. Sales, however, are driven by sensationalism not credibility.
Ok Cracked, you might know this if you had actually watched it but in Religulous he makes no claims to any of it being real, he was only pointing out how all of the savior stories are alike, not trying to prove them but merely sharing the beliefs they do have. Nice try Cracked
WHOOOOSH
Next time, they should put this episode as one of their "documentaries full of shit".
Dude, the documentary claimed that the myth of Horus is the same as the myth of Jesus, except there's *no historical evidence* that Horus was like that. There are gods that have strong parallels to Jesus (e.g. Mithras, Krishna), but instead of showing stuff that has historical evidence, Religulous made up shit on the spot, pretty much like Zeitgeist did.
Fernie do you know what a myth is?
Tyler Hooper Alright, I'll bite. What am I getting wrong about mythology?
Super Size Me:
I think the point of the Supersize me argument was... how much easier it is to obtain significant levels of calories by volume, and also that the food causes addiction more-so than other types of food. I'm not claiming their findings were proven... but your oversimplification is nothing more than a Straw-man argument against it... not an actual logically reasoned rebuttal.
Making a Murderer:
-He called the victim 3 times that day.
They had business that day, and yes, it was established that he could have had an obsession with her, but that doesn't suddenly prove the rest of the case.
-The Victim's phone was on his property.
Along with other planted evidence.
Like...
-A bullet from his gun had the Victim's DNA
The bullet which after multiple extremely thorough searches didn't turn up... until after they coerced a confession from his nephew and decided to do one more search... and it was miraculously found. Don't forget... the police have had his rifle in their possession for months by this point. And *_then_* they found the bullet and found DNA on it... but no evidence indicated that it was Blood (just like the Key that was planted, and the DNA planted in the vehicle).
And let's not forget... that there was not a spec of her blood *_anywhere_* in the garage where they claimed she was shot at a relatively close range. A garage which was extremely disorderly, with junk all over.. but yet they still tried to claim he was so thorough that he meticulously cleaned every single thing that could possibly have blood on it... destroying it all with bleach, which is pretty impossible even for the most detailed professional cleaner. But wait... there *_was_* deer blood found... but I guess his oh so thorough clean job missed that blood, but not her blood which was sprayed all over, oh and he also missed bullet too.
Ben McConnon
"Just wanted to say. In their defence. The only thing that could be true were the 3 phone calls. 3 calls would mean that it wasn't a wrong number or miss dial. Which would mean that he knew the victim."
That isn't in dispute... we knew he knew the victim... he had past business deals with her, but that is not evidence that he murdered her.
I agree with the rest your comment though.
Also, I'd like to point out that it doesn't matter if he killed her or not, what's important is that the "proofs" were planted or tampered with. Even if he was guilty, and maybe he is, police have to prove it legally. Planting evidence because you're sure he's the murderer, because it's frustrating to let loose someone you think is a murderer, that's pure bullshit.

"Your first one is actually a mistake. You need to do some scientific research. If you give someone 2500kcal extra a day in whole fruit, no weight gain. Fruit juice, yes, pop, yes, fast food yes. It isn't the number of calories but it's source."
Being that you are making an assertion I didn't address... I made no mistake. What you said did not refute the fact that their "argument" was a Straw-man oversimplification of the real premise. Just because I didn't delve into all the possible factors as to why fast food produces the result of obesity/food addiction, does not prove my point wrong.
"You show little knowledge about nutrition."
Me not speaking at length of the knowledge I have... is not a demonstration that I have little knowledge.
You only make yourself look foolish when you make unfounded condescending assertions about a person's lack of knowledge... when you have no clue what the person does or does not know.

How could there be evidence for the Horus story, or the multiple other god myths, with similarities to christianity? They're MYTHS. That's the point, not the minutiae - the story of christianity draws on older mythical stories which we recognise as myths. The question is why people believe every time the same stories are re-packaged - you think the Egyptians weren't just as convinced as the most fervent christian?
Evidence that the people of that on the time period. There is no evidence of recorded data that says that. It's what it meant. The one similarity that is recorded is Krishna who according to recorded myth was born from a virgin.
Mithra. Quetzalcoatl. Osiris. Dionysus. Buddha. Etc etc etc. And, just like christianity, there isn't only one version of each of these stories, nor were they static - the Ancient Egyptian pantheon was mind-numbingly huge, over a staggering period of time, and it evolved as all myths do. We are nearer in time to the supposed birth of Jesus than Cleopatra was to Khufu; neither the story stayed the same nor the particular god/s in the ascendent at any one time. And then you have modern interpretations of the source material, not all Egyptologists agree. But none of that changes the fact that these are minutiae; essentially vital aspects of christianity are mere reworkings of older myths and bickering about the specific details of which "god" aligns to its counterpart in christianity misses the point by several light years.
Not evidence that it actually happened. Evidence that anyone ever _believed_ that happened. The point is that, whether or not the Jesus story is true (hint: probably not) among the valid objections to it is NOT that it's a repackaging of the Horus story. Because it's not.
Pretty much none of the supposed parallels to Jesus drawn between his story and various other myths, which circulate the web in a fairly standard list, are valid. Anyone who actually knows the other myths can spot it right away. Any believing Christian who actually knows the other myths can also spot it right away, and therefore conclude that atheists are full of shit because they're so credulous they'd believe a list like that without even checking it out. Which is the opposite effect you'd want, I'd think.
If Christianity really is a collection of reworked older myths, there should be numerous valid examples of older myths from which it drew, and there should be no need to try to make a point with nonsense examples.
+ChrisC I understand that. Horus was born from his mother Isis after she found the....relevant bits of her dismembered husband, altho I have seen an Egyptologist suggest it was some form of pure "celestial" marriage - we're still not absolutely clear on the intensely complicated royal marriages and concubinage rituals and these are likely earthly representations of the gods. And we know equally little about the pantheon of the ordinary people - as I understand it, we "know" the stories of the higher gods which were the basis of temple and king worship but the ordinary people had another huge pantheon of lesser, everyday gods.
I don't know how the Horus myth grew up, or that he was alledgedly born on Dec 25, when this is a pagan solstice holiday. But there are a ton of parallels to the Jesus myth, to the point they're virtually beyond counting - to write off a movie as nonsense for including a common misconception whilst ignoring the plethora of other similarities seems to be a stretch. To me, anyway.
+ChrisC and I take your point about getting it wrong - they shouldn't have. But its very possible they confused Horus with Osiris which is not hard to do with the vastly complicated mythology of Ancient Egypt. There are so many other examples that only someone with serious confirmation bias would stop at one example and think "oh look....BUSTED!" Someone like Ray Comfort, "Doc" cofffromadiplomamillcoff Kent Hovind or Ken Ham and oh shit....
wow wtf at the Inuit one
This is why I laugh at people who use one or two documentaries they saw on Netflix to make their arguments
Cracked left out the most full of shit documentary ever, "Hells Bells". I think it had an extended title under it...either dangers or evil of rock & roll. It was just a Christian propaganda film that made up all sorts of satanic worship and occult stuff. I had to watch it when I was a kid.
My friends and I love that "doc". It's so funny
Reefer Madness is another classic bullshit documentary. Definitely so bad it's funny.
WELL ACTUALLY
Grade level does not mean A-B it means curriculum and understanding what you read.
Chris Strong THANK YOU!
No, what it means is that someone in 3rd grade with a C in reading is not considered to be reading "at grade level" which is what they're talking about. Despite C being considered a grade of average.
C hasn't been considered truly average in goodness knows how long. Source: I'm a teacher, and any student of mine who consistently got Cs would need individualized assistance.
Kathleen Whitcomb Only due to grade inflation. A C from 20 years ago is an A- today.
Source: I barely graduated HS with a 1.16 GPA and now teach HS. My 1.16 GPA turned into a 3.5 ish at University with no real extra effort.
meatrace I'm not sure it would be considered an A-, but yes, obviously grades have changed. I'm still pretty certain this documentary wasn't about 20 years ago, though.
i'm pretty sure i remember making a murderer including all three of those facts
EatinBubsy exactly, open lot, could have been anyone. Doesn't change any of the other conflicting evidence that proved it wasn't him.... smh. Oh well.
Not sure I remember her DNA inside his gun, just seems weird. But 3 calls and the phone to a lady you just hired to come over seems insignificant.

Joey Clemenza you seriously saw my comment, that it was replied to, and still felt to add that?
did it feel good? I do hope a weight is lifted from your shoulders, friend. you did so enhance my understanding of the fucking joke.
fuck.
One aspect does not make full of shit. Also, where is the historical evidence of Jesus?
Well the point is, there's no evidence that those things were ever even TAUGHT about Horus, even within that religion, ever. They were never a part of the Horus myth. The claim is that Christianity stole it's points from the story of Horus, and that is simply not true. Someone, somewhere along the line made that up AFTER Jesus. Not sure who, or why, but those Horus/Jesus comparisons are straight up bull.
We have more historical evidence of Jesus than Aristotle.
xSmittyxCorex Actually there is a ton of evidence about the bible stealing tons of information and even some of its wording from older religions, most specifically the pagan religions around Europe, like the Cathars. Even the birth of Christ isn't in December, it is earlier in the year. Many things have been taken or obscured into the Christian religion because people who practiced pagan beliefs at the time wouldn't convert. So to help convert more people, the Catholic church changed dates and even certain ceremonies so that they could control more people.
2:40
1. nope. he called her one time.
2. nope. false.
3. yes. after like a month they found a piece of a bullet ( placed there by the cops ).
Reed Tardio cops CLEARLY planted that...smh
The bird one makes me happy. During the filming of Planet Earth 2 they filmed hundreds of baby sea turtles getting stuck in drains and gutters and nearly getting run over because they confused the city lights with the light of the moon, but once they were finished they rescued them all.
Your title says "Full of Shit" but your video says "Stretch the Truth". Man, gotta love Cracked's headlines
Please, use just a modicum of research before making a video
I can't wait for all the comment complaint about this video style
I watched gasland and the people interviewed in the documentary said that their water wasn't flammable until AFTER natural gas companies started freaking nearby.
wait😶😶😶 there is HISTORICAL evidence for Jesus being born to a virgin mother and him being able to walk on water? WOW👏👏👏
WHOOOOOOOOSH
The point is not that there is historic evidence for Jesus Christ walking on water, it s that there is no historic evidence for egyptians believing Horus did the same.
hektorforever guess why not...!
Nanuk of the North is famously one of the most racist films of all time, up there with The Birth of a Nation.
I admit I haven't seen all of these but you completely got the 2 I have seen wrong.
1. 0:25 - Yes he is eating double the calories needed, but he also had the rule of "If they ask to upsize then I do so" and "I have to complete the meal in full". He also said commented on this near the end saying that it is the fact that they are pushing more food on you and they are not taking into account the body's needs. Just like that health professional is point out.
2. 2:38 - Again you must have missed something because they did say that he called her three times, but he was also selling her a car too. Wouldn't it be common to talk to someone if you are trying to sell them a car? The bullet also had a full episode on it about the blood stains. There was even a huge segment on the blood (or lack there of) at the crime that included the bullet and how it was found.
You all completely failed on this one guys.
Great points Emerson. I left a lengthy comment as well.
Excactly, this was really poorly made. More bullshit than in the actual documentaries they tried to disprove. I still believe he is innocent. Just look at his cousin. He got convicted for raping her INSIDE the trailer, even though they completely ruled it out in the main case. Shows excactly how fucked up the legal system in the states are!
There is no proof of Jesus or any of his crap either.
Jerry Garcia jesus was a real person but the miracles haven't been proved.
Jesus is not in any history book as anything more than a mere mention if even that. God is not spoken about in History books. At least not during my education.
Jerry Garcia I'm sorry if that came out as overly smug, but he is in the history textbooks for Romans. But God isn't placed anywhere except within stories.
I didn't think you were bring smug.:-)
As far as I can tell it is generally accepted among history scholars that Jesus was a historical person, the disagreement is more on whether he was the Son of God who worked miracles or just a man around whom legendary feats were attributed(there are also various disagreements on events in his life but that is too long a subject matter to cover here). In terms of historical texts the Bible is considered as a historical source, one can take away the supernatural elements and get a pretty decent history of the Jewish people. So within Biblical sources writers such as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John can be considered. For Non-Biblical sources we have to look at the writings of Josephus(a Jewish Historian, 37-101 AD), Pliny the Younger (Roman lawyer and magistrate, 61-113 AD), Tacitus (Roman senator and historian, 56-120 AD) Suetonius (Roman Historian, 69-140 AD), Celsus (Greek Philosopher, 175 AD). There are few more early non-biblical texts but the previous mentions should be enough also some are a bit obscure.
@Cracked
Kudos, great Job!
Hello, I'm a Cracked Subscriber, and I have a debilitating aversion to the written word.
Reading really is a problem, here in Arizona. The community colleges make everyone take a reading class, because so many were failing the placement exam for it. I always wonder what goes on in that class.
Cracked, I respect you deeply. Please have consistency in your titles and don't resort to clickbait. Thank you
Horus claims have "zero historical evidence". As opposed to, say... Jesus' historical claims? There were some minor quibbles with some of the stuff in Religulous. But the point was valid, and dismissing the whole thing as "full of shit" is disengenuous. Same with other examples. You really do some good stuff, sometimes, Cracked. Surprisingly so. But, when you transition to an editorial or modern newsish site, away from comedy, you risk becoming part of the problem, not a surprising alternative.
rrpostalagain The contention that the biography of Jesus of Nazarerh was ripped from Pagan culture is not a 'minor quibble'. The primary sources do not bear this comparison. its an eighteenth centurty german invention, which has been dismissed by modern scholarship. cracked questioning the evidence for this case is entirely legitimate. why disingenuous?
Because it doesn't make the documentary "full of shit". Are you suggesting that Christianity is not derivative? Or that it is "historically based"? Another doc I generally enjoyed, but you could argue this case better, would be "the God who wasn't there".
How is Christianity not historically based? It is based on a historical event. It is the only religion in the world that is falsifiable. If Jesus Christ did not rise form the dead then there is no Christianity. The basis of the belief system is founded on the historicity of this event. Find the body of Jesus and Christianity dies.
"if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied." 1 Corinthians 15
That's equal to saying that clearly zeus is real historically, because if he isn't then the people who believed in him did so in vain, so therefore he must be real.
That last one is racist. Damn it
shotgun6X o everything is fucking racist...stfu already
I know callng everyone racist is annoying but the last bit WAS genuinely racist.
Thaaat's racist! *Ding*
Wait, wrong channel...
sometimes some things are actually racist.
Mike K no it's actually racist
the epic of Gilgamesh (one of the literal first books ever) actually does have some pretty shocking parallels to the story of Jesus Christ
walter mcdonough Agreed.
*Just venting to no one* Re: Vid - There's no historical evidence of Jesus walking on water either...
Or anyone.
Cos no one can.
Cos obviously...
it says it in the bible, he like goes fishing or something and saves the fisherman by walking on water i think, of course there is no true evidence, by evidence they mean writing that says something like that
+walter This is what I wondered; by evidence did they mean supporting proof for the claim OR did they mean that the writing didn't imply it.
Actually, "Jesus" is the anglicization of the name "Yeshua," which is Hebrew for "Joshua." Gotta love Wikipedia in times such as these.
Gilgamesh can't be a knock-off of Egyptian texts. Just sayin'
This is the kind of videos where all I can do is scratch my head and wonder why people hates them.
Forcing someone to act like they don’t know what a record is should be classified as mental torture
There's a surprising lack of Michael Moore here.
Federico AE He's not full of shit more so that he overhypes what little shit that is there.
Sure he is. For instance, in one documentary he shows a bank teller giving him a rifle for opening a bank account. He staged that. In Roger & Me he was actually accepted for an appointment something like 3 times but it made a better story to say they refused to talk to him, so he just lied. Etc., etc. His movies are full of lies.
That last one is awful... They made him look like an idiot when he was doing a solid bit.
A point they gloss over in super size me is that nobody can replicate his results. The most extreme one being his liver shrunk from a McDonald’s diet of 1 month. It was later revealed Morgan was a recovering alcoholic. That might be why his liver had so much damage. Early on in the film he admits he eats a vegetarian/vegan diet so that may have caused the weight gain in the film to be so pronounced.
Horus was born "In" the Nile River. Life on Earth began when Horus found a dry spot on the eastern shore of the Nile.
Where is "what the bleep do we know"?
That's way up there in the bullshit train
I guess if you consider it a documentary. I look at it as more of a new-age religious film.
They tried to pass it off as a documentary, but good point.
Regarding Making A Murderer...
*//"He called the victim 3 times that day"//*
Not evidence of murderous intent but of his financial motivation to sell a vehicle.
*//"the victim's phone was on his property"//*
Avery was such a good customer of hers that she skipped another appointment to go to his place, she then _made it_ to that other appointment after she left his property alive. This timeline was confirmed while Halbach was just a missing person, when it became a murder investigation this timeline was thrown away and never seriously re-investigated. (which is what Avery's lawyer is currently doing)
*//"a bullet from his gun ahd the victims DNA"//*
This evidence was never actually presented at the trial, the prosecuting attorney just *_said_* it was. He lies several times in his closing statements, *and continues to do so in the media*, about what evidence was presented, which isn't illegal because he wasn't under oath.
You forgot an inconvenient truth and anything Michael Moore has done
The point of supersize me is that despite eating two hundred percent of his needs, he doesn't feel full. Score one for the documentary, score zero for cracked.
Also, whoever did the homework on this needs to do it over. There are several errors. Thanks for the effort even though this video is well below your normal output.
Fast Food makes you eat more. That's the point. It's all right.
That's still a stupid premise. He would intentionally eat more than he wanted to just to get the result he needed for the film, because just getting devastating lab results wasn't sexy enough to justify a movie. I can eat fast food all week and never gain any weight, because I stop when I'm full or feel sick. It's that easy. You will get just as fat eating normal home-cooked meals of the same volume and with the same persistence. The thing that is bad about fast food is not the volume - it's the imbalance of nutritional contents. Your body gets way too much of certain food additives that allow the chains to cut costs, which will impact your health negatively in the long run.
when the vid is 5 mins you know it going to be a deep study.
For the Gasland 'debunking', can you guys give a citation for the claim that fracking does not cause natural gasses to leak into wells at a high rate than non fracked land? I don't doubt that there are circumstances in which that could happen naturally. I'm just not sure how exactly we can dispute the claim that hydrolic fracking within a few hundred yards of a well, often drilling horizontally under a person's property (which purchasing mineral rights allows them to do), could not plausibly be linked to increasingly likely occurances of flammable water.
@1:47 "Threy" don't count indeed ;)
Wasn't the entire point of Religilous to poke holes in religion? I don't think the movie made claims that the religious stuff was real, and if anything they were mocking it. So they didn't stretch the truth
Saint Wildcard No, no they did, because I’m familiar with these idiots. They spout shit from this one woman who fails kindergarten mythology to try and make anything sound like a precourser to Jesus. Often lying very much on what the mythology says, which is not only offensive to Christians, it’s offensive to Pagans, Hindus, Historians, and Sociologists. Ex: Dyonisis was the only begotten son of Zues....anyone, who has learned ANY fucking Greek mythology knows that isn’t true, but because he has an association with wine, he must be a precourser. Nevermind that he was known in stories to fly into drunken rages and whose maidens often literally tore people apart because of his volatile nature.
I never took Super Size me as getting fat from it. I was able to read between the lines and understand it was about the unhealthy amount of the bad food.
What I did take was the dr visits later in the movie where he was having liver issues and things like that. That was more important than anything in my opinion.
I always thought that in supersize me like he ate way too much food each day
