- Oh my God,
I love this one!
Keanu Reeves is a vampire!
- ♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) Do you consider
yourself a conspiracy theorist?
- Yes, very much so.
- I love conspiracy theories.
Shane Dawson got me into it.
- Oh, I love conspiracy theories
so much, even the stupid ones,
I think they're great.
- I know of them
and I think they're kinda cool,
but they're not believable.
- (FBE) YouTube is actually
being forced to remove
conspiracy related content
from recommended sections.
- That's because they're
onto something
and they don't want us to know,
'cause they're like,
"Oh no, you're gonna
expose everything.
Shut it down."
- (FBE) Today, we're gonna
debate some infamous
pop culture conspiracy theories
and see if you think
they are fact or fiction.
- All right.
I'm down for this.
I like stuff that messes
with your mind.
I think it's super cool,
so I'm excited to get
into it.
- (FBE) Here's our first
conspiracy theory.
This one is that Beyonce's
pregnancy with Blue Ivy was fake.
Check out this footage.
- Okay.
- I saw this one.
- (narrator) No wonder
Beyonce is blooming.
- Okay, where's the fake.
Oh.
Oh, it crunched.
It crunched.
What the hell?
- ♪ You're the one I love ♪
- That is kinda true.
That's kinda weird.
- ♪ Come on, baby, if you ♪
- I believe this one, though,
so there's that.
- I saw that.
It totally just--
the baby just got
pancaked right there.
- Judging by that,
it seems kinda fishy maybe.
Maybe she was pregnant
and she was just wearing it
over it to play it up.
- I feel like sometimes
the camera just makes
things look weird.
It's hard to say.
I wish there was more
proof behind it.
Then I might be on board.
- When you look at Blue Ivy,
she's literally Jay-Z
with pigtails, so I don't see
any Beyonce in her whatsoever,
so it's kinda like,
are we sure that's your baby?
- (FBE) If you had to give
this conspiracy theory a grade,
A through F, A being fact,
F being fiction,
what would you grade this theory?
- C.
- Total F.
- A C.
Right in the middle.
- I'm gonna rate it an F
because I feel like
Beyonce would have no reason
to lie about her pregnancy.
- C.
Seeing that I don't know
how pregnancies work,
'cause I'm a guy,
I'm like, okay.
It looked realistic enough
in a lot of pictures
and certain angles,
but then with this,
it's like, eh.
- I'm gonna give it a B,
'cause there was some
really good visual evidence.
If you give me proof
and that [bleep] wild,
I will believe it.
- (FBE) Okay, here's our next
theory.
Netflix is manufacturing
it's own Bird Box memes.
- I wouldn't be surprised.
- "Did Netflix use fake
Twitter accounts to make
Bird Box memes?"
I think this is definitely true
just because they wanted
to play up the movie.
- Everything that's ever popular
usually ends up having memes
after it, so I don't know
if I believe this.
- Why would they need to?
Have you not been on Twitter?
Twitter itself memes everything,
so I mean, you don't have to
make a fake account for that.
- (FBE) All right, let's see
what Twitter has to say
about this hoax.
- "I'm sorry that I don't
have many followers
and that was my first tweet.
Got so much likes
and retweets but believe me
I wish I was getting paid."
- "This is just a conspiracy
theory.
I just liked the movie
and tweeted a meme about it.
That's it."
See, that's all it is.
If a movie gets a lot
of traction, it's gonna
get memes around it.
- I'm sure there were plenty
of memes that were made
by people.
I'm just saying,
I wouldn't be surprised
if half of them were
marketing strategies.
- "Holy [bleep].
This is why it seems like
everyone is talking about
Bird Box except no one
I have ever interacted with
is talking about it."
- When it first came out,
no one was really talking about it,
but I ended up wanting
to watch it because
of the memes I kept seeing.
- I wasn't hearing a lot
of people talk about
Bird Box either.
I think I actually saw memes
before I had any of my friends
say that they watched Bird Box.
- (FBE) So, what grade
would you give this
conspiracy theory?
- It started off as an A,
but after reading about all this,
it quickly became an F.
- I'm gonna give it a B.
- C.
- A B.
- I'd give it an A.
- D.
I don't really think
you can choose what memes
blow up, you know?
- (FBE) Here's our next theory.
- "Pokemon Go is a government
surveillance psyop conspiracy."
- I've head about this.
I think it's a bit of a reach
to say that the government
only did it to track you
and get more information
on you, but at the same time,
it does make sense.
- I feel like Shane Dawson
talked about this a little bit.
I could see that,
'cause they're tracking
exactly where everyone is.
- I have heard this about
so many apps
and I really don't think
the government cares that much.
- (FBE) Niantic, the company
responsible for Pokemon Go,
had one particular phrase
in its privacy policy
that has conspiracy theorists
up in arms.
- "We may disclose any information
about you or your authorized child
that is in our possession or control
to government or
law enforcement officials
or private parties."
That's what all apps do.
- Who's to say Snapchat
doesn't do the same thing
and Twitter doesn't do
the same thing?
All these apps probably have
the exact same stuff
written there somewhere.
We just don't read the terms
and services and privacy
whatnot.
Now is it creepy?
Hell yeah.
- Literally everything you do,
they sell your information
and it's always, always
in the terms of agreement.
It's in Google's terms
of agreements, it was
in Facebook's at one point.
- Thinking about how much
I played that game
in such a short amount
of time and how much
information they really
did have, it's pretty obvious
to tell.
If you were looking at it,
you could definitely tell
where someone lives
or where they work
or where they go
with their friends.
It's so obvious.
- I definitely give this an F.
- C.
- I'm gonna give this one
a C.
- I'd rate it as an A.
I could totally see that.
They had everyone
playing Pokemon Go at one point.
- D.
Whoever made this
and put that into the game,
probably just didn't think
as much of it and then
they were like,
"Oh, this is kinda bad.
Maybe we shouldn't have
this in here."
- A, because I'm 100% sure
that they probably sold
their information.
I wouldn't--
yeah, no.
Every company does that.
There's an FBI man in there
right now watching me react.
What's good?
- (FBE) Here's the next.
- I just watched this yesterday.
- (Shane) So, there's theories--
- I love Shane.
- (Shane) One of the creepiest
examples is Disney
possibly making the movie
Frozen just to hide the fact
that Walt Disney had
frozen his body after he died.
- I saw this.
I believe it.
- Everyone always says that.
Everyone always thinks
he's frozen.
He's not frozen.
- (Shane) Is great Uncle Walt
frozen underneath
the Pirates of the Caribbean?
- There's no way
Walt Disney is under
the Pirates of the Caribbean
ride.
- (Shane) How would Disney
hide those search results?
By making a worldwide
hit film called--
- (reporter) Disney's Frozen
is officially the highest
grossing animated movie
of all time.
- I've never thought about that.
- (Shane) Yeah,
pages of information
about Walt Disney's head.
- This is one of those
conspiracy theories that
I fully believe.
I fully believe that he
is frozen.
- Look, you wouldn't go
that far to hide
the search results.
Come on.
- I'm shook.
This is horror movie material
right here.
- It could totally be true.
They could have named it
so many other names,
but they named it Frozen.
I could totally see that.
- They didn't have to
name it Frozen.
Little Mermaid, Mulan,
Beauty and the Beast.
All of a sudden,
now it's called Frozen
and has nothing to do
with their names?
That's some T right there.
That's such an A right there.
Oh my God, that's wild!
- I believed this one
for a pretty long time,
so I'm gonna give it a B.
- This one has more evidence
to back it up, I think,
than the other ones.
I'm gonna give this one a B.
- B.
- Definitely an F.
- This is definitely an A.
I've never gone to Disneyland
where it's like,
I haven't had this chill
run though my body
somewhere and I think
if I keep talking about
this stuff, they're gonna
come after me next, you know?
Just forget I said anything.
It's fine.
- (FBE) Some people think
Keanu Reeves is just another
generic movie star
and others say
he is an immortal being
who has appeared
throughout history
for the past 1300 years.
Skeptics say it's just
good genes.
What do you think?
- Dang.
He never ages.
I feel like it's just
good genetics.
- Oh my God,
I love this one!
Keanu Reeves
is a vampire!
He's immortal.
Look at this man.
That is a painting
of a guy named Sir Ferdinand
or something like that.
I've read this.
I'm spitting right now,
'cause I'm excited.
I know this one.
- I just think he has
good skin.
He has a good skin
routine or something like that.
He does look very, very
similar in all of them,
but I don't think
he's been alive that long.
- 1530, 1875.
Come on.
Look at the hair on 1530
and look at the hair on 2017.
1530 is way poofier
and is way--
it goes out more.
- I'm not seeing much
of a difference.
I believe it.
He honestly looks
the same exact age.
- Right off the bat,
this is true.
The same thing
with Morgan Freeman.
They've both been alive
for a million years
and nobody can tell me
otherwise.
- Honestly, it's probably
just good genetics.
I don't know.
See, part of me believes
in creatures like vampires
and monsters.
I give it a B.
- This is still definitely an F.
- F.
F- if I can go there.
- D.
I need more proof than that.
- I'm gonna say that
they have a point
and Keanu Reeves needs
to drop his skin care routine,
but I don't think
that he's immortal,
so I'm gonna give it an F.
- This one, I have to
call it a fact.
He probably freezes himself
every couple months.
I'm telling you,
cryogenics is where it's at.
2019, we're all getting frozen.
- (FBE) Here's another.
- Oh, jeez.
"Nicki Minaj slowed down
sounds like Jay-Z."
- ♪ This one is for the boys
with the booming system ♪
- Weird.
- ♪ When he come up in the club,
he be blazing up ♪
- I mean, kind of.
- It's pretty weird, actually.
I don't know how anyone
figured that out.
- This is disrespectful.
- This one is way far
out of reach.
- This isn't a conspiracy
as much as it is just funny.
- He is not attractive,
so for you guys
to do this there.
"Oh, she sounds like--"
- I give it a D.
It's funny, but it's stupid.
- If this was real,
I would love for it
to be an A,
but it's definitely an F,
'cause this one is total--
it's 100% fake.
- F.
- Another F.
- I'm gonna say that
it's definitely coincidence,
but it sounds like Jay-Z.
I'm gonna give this one an F, too.
- This is an F.
It's 3:00 in the morning.
You should have gone to sleep
already.
That's why you think
that he sounds--
Get out of my face.
- (FBE) Here's one that's been
circling for a while.
- "Here's why everyone seems
to think O.J. Simpson
is Khloe Kardashian's father."
Interesting.
I've heard about this.
- I've seen this.
I think it's true.
I don't think that Khloe
has the same dad as Kim
and Courtney.
- Looking at their noses,
it's very pronounced.
Wait a second.
Okay, talk to me,
'cause I'm getting kinda scared.
- (FBE) One reason people
believe this theory
is that Khloe doesn't look
like her sisters.
- Absolutely true.
- She doesn't look like
her other sisters.
She's definitely the odd
one out.
- (FBE) Another reason is
that Kris Jenner admitted
to having an affair
during her marriage
to Robert Kardashian.
According to people.com,
she only admitted to having
an affair with Todd Waterman,
but it is also believed
that she cheated
with O.J. Simpson,
who was her best friend's husband
at the time.
- I mean, look at their noses.
Their noses are pretty similar.
I don't know.
It's hard to tell.
- Looking at this picture
side by side,
I don't see any resemblance
to O.J. Simpson at all.
If anything, I would think
she's Todd Waterman's kid.
- If this was true,
I feel like this would have
had to have been leaked by now.
- I come in here to have
a good time
and I'm so stressed
right now.
The whole two brain cells
that I had left
are shook right now.
They're on opposite sides.
- (FBE) What would you grade
this one?
- I'd give it a B.
- There's a chance,
so I'm gonna say D.
- I really wanna give this an F,
but there is a little bit
of evidence in there,
so I'm gonna give this one a D.
- For this, I'd rate it a D.
That one seems pretty believable,
maybe not with O.J.,
but with another person maybe.
- You have to really, really,
really be into this whole theory
to believe it.
I'm gonna stick with C,
but I'm really uncomfortable.
- B.
That'd be real wild
if it was true.
That's just so out there,
but they look a lot alike.
- "Is JK Rowling real?"
What are you talking--
what is this?
- That sounds so dumb.
- (FBE) This theory suggests
that JK Rowling
is actually a team of gifted
writers that were hired
by companies to carefully
craft an original book series.
It's also suggested that
the JK Rowling
you're used to seeing
is actually a paid actress.
- I've actually heard
a lot about this one.
It's been around the internet
recently.
I don't know if this one's real.
- Who's to say that she
couldn't have done it
on her own?
Why can you just let her be great?
- I always thought about
how was she able
to think of such creative ideas
in all these books,
so I could see this
potentially being real,
but I feel like it's too far
out of reach.
I'd rate it an F.
- Another F.
- F.
- F, bro.
That's so offensive.
I love Harry Potter.
How dare you say
JK Rowling is an actress.
That's so dumb.
- You can't tell me
one person that's read
those books that doesn't
wanna go to Hogwarts,
so with that being said,
let's not even pretend
that, "Oh, this is just
a group of--"
No.
This is an F.
- F for sure.
If this was real,
there's no way one person
would have not told another
and then that person
would have told another.
If I knew that this was real,
I'm like, "Dude, the whole
Harry Potter series is all fake."
I would have to tell somebody.
- (FBE) This is a photo
of child murder victim,
Johnbenet Ramsey,
who was--
- That's some cryogenic [bleep]
right there.
That's what this is.
Forget about Walt Disney.
Katy Perry did--
okay.
- (FBE) Who was killed
mysteriously at the age of six.
The theory maintains that
Johnbenet was not killed
and in fact took on
the identity of the now famous
pop star, Katy Perry.
- Again, that's just stupid.
I can name five people
off the top of my head
right now that look like
Katy Perry.
- They definitely look alike,
but I mean, that's not enough proof.
- I definitely think they
look alike and I remember
seeing Katy Perry's documentary
and she is blonde naturally
and she does look like that.
I can see it,
but I'm not sure.
- I guess they have similar
facial structure.
They kinda look alike, I guess,
but I mean,
it's this little girl
and this chick in her 20's, 30's.
I don't even know,
but some stuff is gonna change
physically, so I couldn't really
say they look alike
and then compare it like that.
I think this one's pretty stupid.
- This is such clickbait.
It's almost too elaborate.
I'm gonna give this one a D.
- F.
- This is an F, 100%.
- I'm gonna give it an F.
- I'll give it a D
because they do look alike,
but I feel like that's
just so far fetched.
- A C.
It's possible, obviously,
but didn't Katy Perry
dye her hair so many times?
You don't even know if
that's her real--
her natural hair color.
- (FBE) Here is your last one.
- The moon landing!
Oh, my favorite!
This is the OG conspiracy theory.
- I've heard this theory
about a bajillion times
and my thing is,
I can't really say anything
because I haven't been
to the moon.
- This one is weird because
imagine it was fake.
Everything would be a lie,
I guess.
A lot of stuff would change.
- (FBE) According to time.com,
the reason for this theory
is due to film
of Alrin planting
a waving American flag
on the moon,
which critics say proves
he was not in space.
The flags movement, they say,
clearly shows the presence of wind,
which is impossible
in a vacuum.
- This is one of my favorite
conspiracy theories of all time.
- Obviously, there can't be
wind in space,
but you can obviously
move the flag,
which causes movement.
- I feel like we,
as a country, did that
because we were like,
"We don't wanna lose
to any of these other countries."
The whole space race
that was going on,
I get it.
We have to be number one.
- They have valid points.
It's not just out there.
They're having some
backed up evidence,
which is what I like
with conspiracy theories.
- I think this would be
too much of a risk to fake.
I think there'd be too many
variables that have to go
literally 100% perfect
for this to become true.
- (FBE) What's the vote?
- The vote is an F.
- A C+.
- I'll give it a chance.
I'll say it's a D.
I think it's an interesting
theory and I can see how
people might believe it,
but I personally don't believe it.
- I'm gonna give this a C
because I'm in the middle
on this one.
- It's an A.
- I'm giving it an A
just because this is
my favorite conspiracy theory
of all time,
even though I don't
believe in it anymore,
it's still getting an A.
- (FBE) So now,
after seeing all these,
do you consider yourself
a conspiracy theorist?
- Seeing a lot of the ones
I didn't know about,
I'd say I'm definitely
more interested
in conspiracy theories.
People like to question things.
People like to believe
what they wanna believe
and there's always gonna be
different opinions
on everything in life.
- There were some of these
where I'm like,
that's definitely possible,
but I also think it's because
we wanna believe that
there's more.
We wanna believe that
there is things that
people aren't telling us
and that there can be
things that are way out
of the realm of possibility.
- There are some of them
that really can stand on their own
and it's like, "This is something
very plausible."
Or it's actually a fact
and we just don't
wanna believe it
because we like to be naive.
And then, there's moon landings.
We won't talk about that.
