Theres been plenty of extinction level events that have happened and plenty of civilizations that have been wiped out. Civilizations that we may have even lost records of and didnt know even existed. For many of em it was the end of the world.
I love Matt's channel. I love all the mysterious stuff. He's got great content and delivers it so well with his brilliant personality... He's so likeable and a absolute natural in front of the camera.
My sister made me believe there was a monster in the closet when I was young. She once hid in there and shook the doors violently. I've been afraid of closets since. Sometimes people just play stupid pranks/hoaxes that work too well
Try something that would fool literally an entire country or even the whole globe. What happened with you is nothing by comparison to what these people have done
@@Cruddy129 I wasn't really comparing, just a simple statement is all. I'm fully aware that what happened to me, one person, isn't the same as something that fooled an entire nation. The point I was making is that these things make impacts. Like people still believe in large humans and there was still a following for Anna to be the missing princess because it's an easier truth.
Matthew, you are such a treat! Much love and appreciation. Not so much in this one, but so many of your humorous comments are like watching a cartoon. Just love it!
Best Orson Welles hoax that was written by H.G Wells was war of the worlds even though he did say it was a radio show drama since it sounded like a real newscast in that period of time.
What about the baby who got snatched by an eagle? It turns out it was just some 3D animation students testing how far they can go with their CGI works.
@@dianewood7396 Right, the true hoaxing was done by the newspapers, which told of a panic that hadn't happened, including suicides---which hadn't happened, either. If you get a chance to listen to a recording of the broadcast, you see how people COULD have thought it was real because it was done as news reporting and was quite convincing. However, numerous announcements were made during commercial breaks (which were a sort of giveaway, don't you think?), plus it was broadcast at the same time as a much more popular radio program, so not that many people were even listening.

I enjoy your channel because you are likable, friendly, professional, and genuine. I enjoy your content because it is informative and entertaining, and that you do not generate ugly debates or comments about politics, religion, social tensions, etc. The channel provides great content to be enjoyed with everyone, regardless of their opinions on any devisive topics. If I've missed it, otherwise, I am grateful. Please, please, please don't take this common ground away from us all with flippant comments that add no value and can only detract. I am sincerely begging you. Your channel, to paraphrase a famous quote, like a good deed, "So shines in a weary world."
But have you seen when they went on live TV, one kid (I don't know if it was the kid in the balloon) but one of them basically said it was a publicity stunt and then proceeded to vomit on live television
*DEMONETIZED MONETIZED* yeah the only reason I know about it is because of a video reviewing if it was a hoax or not, seems to be buried by the bigger part of the story
What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.
Ghost Watch scared the hell out of me lol, it was the 'live seance' that did it when Sarah Green got pulled into the cellar and Mike Smith was shouting for his Sarah then the studio lights went out and Parkinson was just saying 'hello, hello' hahaha. It was done good and not what you'd have expected on tv at the time x
Hey, Matthew : If you haven't it done yet, do an episode about hoaxes on April Fool's Day ! My suggestion : A couple of years ago, the BBC did a super realistic fake tv documentary about penguins actually able to fly...
This is extremely disrespectful. What if the person was already struggling, and such a convincing hoax was what pushed him over the edge? Whatever the cause, it was probably a lot more complicated than "Oh, no! Ghosts are real!"
Hahaha Matthew I adored your English accent. I'm a Northern Brit so I say things like, "by eck!, "eyup t'old love", "put wood'int'oile", "geeeeyoooooorrr" & "tintintin".
Ballon Boy is not a hoax. The only evidence that it's a hoax, and not just a little boy hiding from his parents in the attic without them knowing, is that this same boy who was only 8 said so and the father was essentially forced to confess. Ver likely a misunderstanding and not a hoax. Also, 3:21 is EDGY.
I don't know the difference between a prank and a hoax, but my favourite is when bbc news told us spaghetti grows on trees. They even had black and white footage of people picking it.
I just did an Assignment in collage based on the kind the photographs were to trick the eye. I even read a few articles about it so I could figure out how to trick the eye.
They are beautiful photos though, but they're clearly fake as the shadows are wrong and the fairies seem flat compared to the girls. But I'm sure it didn't seem so obvious at the time when the technology was still relatively new. But I appreciate the artistry that went into making them.
What about Orson Wells' own 'War of the Worlds' radio broadcast? He not only formatted it in such a way as too simulate an actual radio news broadcast, he used an existing and very well known novel, H.G.Wells' 'War or the World' to do it! And people believed it was real in spite of it all!
Great Video Matt, but if you could, i would like it for you to go back the the specialized backgrounds that fit each video as it gave each video their own identity. But if you can't that is just fine, just a suggestion for a higher quality product :)
That Alan Sokal dude is such a nerd. He thought what he did was HILARIOUS... but is it really when he's the only one in on his *own* "joke"? What a dork.
You could have had Orson Welles in there twice via the War of the Worlds radio broadcast in 1938 where people really did believe Martians were invading New Jersey.
The Balloon Boy incident is so much more complicated than Matthew is making it out to be. Read up on it more, I don't think the parents faked the incident, there was just a lot of misunderstandings
@Melia Moor idk it was for political gain or not but yeah, there's a lot the media didn't tell us that I had to go and look into. And tbh, I do believe it was an accident and not planned by the parents.
I've been watching u for so long and now that I just got our of the hospital I'm back and I'm so happy to be learning and enjoying ur videos like I wa5ch u so much it's like a pkaythrough
Internet Historian has an amazing video on the Balloon Boy story. I had thought it was a hoax also, but once I saw everything, including never before seen footage and home movies, I also believe that it wasn't a hoax. It's much more complicated than that.
What about the the special alien invasion radio broadcast that trick people who tuned into midway(told viewers in the beginning that it was fake)that cause widespread panic?
Remember when the world was supposed to end? that happened like hundreds of times.
maybe it did end
I have found the truth! The world will end in the next 4,000,000,000 years!
Theres been plenty of extinction level events that have happened and plenty of civilizations that have been wiped out. Civilizations that we may have even lost records of and didnt know even existed. For many of em it was the end of the world.

Actually no one freaked out. Welles created the lie and newspapers reported it that way.
U do have hair but just not on top of ur head😂😂
Yeah, he does have hair, just on his face

It moved to his face

you forgot the 1938 radio broadcast of war of the worlds.
well that it even happened? cause none of that even happened
Elaborate?
It wasnt hoax. They were not trying to fool anyone. Just tying to make it realistic as enertainment does

It fooled no one, look it up.

I scanned a Crapload of comments to see if anyone else noticed!! 😂😂😂
💡Video idea : top 50 ways prehistoric people hunted and gathered! Sounds good to me anyway...
