- The first one of these made a lot of you question life
so let's do it again.
Many of the programs that are on television or Netflix
are super entertaining and generally follow
an easy to understand plot.
However, as you might have guessed from the title
of this video, some shows, shows that you thought
that you knew very well, might actually go way deeper
in plot and story than you might realize.
That is, if these theories are true.
Here are 10 scarily plausible TV show theories, part two.
(spooky music)
Number 10 is House is an adult Doogie Howser.
Some people say that if you've seen one hospital drama,
you've seen them all, as many as incredibly similar.
Well, there's a theory about just how true that is
and it happens to connect two seemingly unconnected shows
in an amazing way.
A mere clone of the high functioning sociopath
that is Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Gregory House is the title
character from the Fox medical drama, House MD.
But, if you believe this crazy suggestion,
he may have had another name before he wound up
at Princeton Plainsboro, Doogie Howser.
This theory claims that Doogie's best friend, Vinnie,
died of an illness the young doctor should have caught.
In his guilt and sorrow, Howser becomes cynical
and verbally abusive, transforming into House,
who moves to Jersey and focuses his life on diagnosing
patients without attachment.
House was definitely one of my favorite shows,
and a lot of people's actually.
You hear me, Netflix?
Do a reboot of this.
If it can work for Full House, it can work for this.
Number nine is Bayside High is a fantasy world.
Oh, now we're getting deep in meta.
A staple in Saturday morning television from 1989
through 1993, the original Saved by the Bell
was adored by fans, especially those who were drawn
to the main protagonist, Zack, who delivered many
of his lines and looked right at the camera.
But, what many of you may not know is that this show
didn't give the world it's first look at Zack
or a number of others, as many of the main cast
appeared on Good Morning, Miss Bliss prior
to Saved by the Bell, playing the same characters.
The difference is the first version of Zack
was often embarrassed and picked on, while the next version
was suddenly the most popular guy in school.
It wasn't long before people began pointing out
that Saved by the Bell is just a fantasy dreamt up
by Zack in which his life is better
and he's not a miserable child.
Okay, this theory makes way too much sense.
And not just because I identify with the fantasy world part,
in mine I ride a dinosaur and have hair
and have a top hat, it's fun.
Number eight is multiple Simpsons.
If you've been watching the Simpsons for it's entire
29 year run, you may find yourself asking why nobody
in the town of Springfield seems to age.
Even Maggie's still a baby.
They seem to go through different seasons,
having annual Halloween specials and various Christmas
episodes and yet no time seems to pass between them.
Well, according to one popular theory, there can only be
one explanation, Springfield exists in multiple universes.
Every time that Homer and Marge tell the story
of how they met, or when the children were born,
the years seem to change from 1980 to the late '90s,
as recently as 2007.
However, if every episode took place in a different
universe, it becomes a little clearer.
Every time you see Homer, it's a different version.
Wait a minute, that means that there's multiple versions
of my favorite character, Krusty.
(Matthew laughing)
Number seven is the government canceled Firefly.
Though it only aired for 11 episodes, Firefly received
a cult following, which led to a movie called Serenity
two years after the series ended.
But, with such a huge amount of support for the show
becoming clearer, people began doubting broadcast company
Fox's initial reasoning for their decision to cancel it.
That being a lack of viewership.
It wasn't long before a theory was proposed
that gained the support of many fans that Firefly
was canceled by the United States government.
That's right, get your tin foil hats out.
Allegedly, in 2002, the Bush administration, who were trying
to convince everyone that invading Iraq was necessary,
decided that they didn't like the way that the show
presented the villainess alliance, which was formed
by America and China and the anti-government theme,
so they ordered its cancellation.
Psh, this show was trying to trick George W,
you can't trick him.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice,
can't be fooled again.
Number six is Mr. Howell's drug deal.
Just sit back and you'll hear a tale
about a failed drug mission to transport drugs.
There's a fan theory about the 1960 TV series
Gilligan's Island that says that the real reason
that Mr. Howell booked the boat was to get
to international waters to buy drugs.
For some proof, just look at the theme song.
It clearly says that they were on a three hour tour
so why did the Howell's have so much luggage with them.
Who gets on a short boat trip with 20 different outfits?
Other than your boy, you know I like to stay fresh.
But really though, Mr. Howell is so wealthy
that he should be able to afford his own yacht
but instead, rents an unassuming tour boat.
He paid off the Skipper and Gilligan and brought the clothes
just in case the coast guard showed up
and they had to flee to another country.
The Professor is there with the equipment to test the drugs
and Mary Ann is actually an undercover cop.
Oh wait, you hear that?
That's the sound of millions of people's childhood breaking.
Number five is the Scranton Strangler's real identity.
Once again, prepare to have your world shooketh.
The US version of the Office was a beloved TV comedy,
but beyond the laughs, something far more nefarious
may have been occurring during the program.
A subplot involves a serial killer called
the Scranton Strangler who is mentioned several times
and even passes by the office building
during a police chase.
He's later arrested and one of the office's employees,
HR rep Toby Flenderson, is selected to be on the jury.
Yeah, the thing is that there's a pile of evidence
to support the theory that Toby is in fact the strangler.
For one thing, he's never around when there's news
about the strangler on TV.
Secondly, he openly laughs about being a juror,
though he was sworn to secrecy and later feels
tremendous guilt when a guilty verdict is handed down.
Is it possible that the most boring character
on the Office is secretly the most exciting and evil?
Yeah, I definitely say it's possible.
Look at that face.
He looks like he's ready to kill someone, go home,
and eat a tub of ice cream and watch Netflix.
Just chill out.
Number four is the upside down is the future.
On July 15th, 2016, Netflix launched one of the greatest
original series, Stranger Things,
and it took audiences by storm.
The series is set in a small town but the scary antagonists
mostly come from a place called the Upside Down,
a mirror like universe where dust seems to float up
and everything is dark and terrifying.
However, one fan theory suggests that the Upside Down
isn't actually a parallel universe at all,
but actually the future.
More specifically, the way that the world will be
after the creatures in the Upside Down have killed
or consumed everyone in it.
The theory says that Eleven, the powerful psychic
in the series, has torn a hole in the fabric of space time
and what the kids encounter is actually
a visual representation of how things will be
if they fail on their quest.
That's dark.
Well, even if our future is dystopian filled with monsters
coming out of the sky and eating people,
as long as we still have Eggos, I'm chillin'.
Number three is the Fresh Prince is dead.
Now, this is a story all about how Will Smith died
and God drove him to Heaven.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air told the tale of the protagonist
Will Smith as he grew into an adult with the help
of his extended family.
But there's a sad but believable theory that says that
everything viewers saw wasn't Will dealing with real life,
but embracing his path in Heaven.
In the intro to the show, Smith claims he encountered
some guys who were up to no good and that he got in a fight
which resulted in him being sent
to stay with his aunt and uncle.
But this theory claims that Will was actually killed
in that fight and that the laughs, lessons, and love
that he receives over the course of the show's six seasons
are all part of his journey through Heaven.
And to put the cherry on top, the rare taxi that brings
Will to Bel-Air is actually, apparently,
driven by God himself.
Would have been more believable if they got
Morgan Freeman to drive it.
Morgan Freeman, talking about penguins
and all kinds of relaxing things.
Number two is murder she committed.
On the air for 12 seasons, Murder, She Wrote, was a popular
television series that starred Angela Lansbury
as Jessica Fletcher, a mystery writer and amateur detective
who seemed to happen upon murder cases at an alarming rate,
though one theory suggests something
far more nefarious was going on.
More often than not, Fletcher would be the first
to discover a body and report it to the police
before launching into an investigation herself.
The confusing thing is here is that she lives in Cabot Cove,
a fictional small town in Maine, with a population
of only 3,500 people, yet it sees over 274 murder victims
during the show's run.
That would give Cabot Cove the highest murder rate
in the world.
You hear that, Chicago?
You're not so bad.
Perhaps Fletcher's using her savvy detective skills
not to solve the murders but get away with them.
See people, women can be serial killers too.
And she did this way back in the day before the whole
women's movement these days.
She was truly a trailblazer.
And number one is the breaking dead theory.
Prepare to fall out of your chair.
After Breaking Bad ended on September 29th, 2013,
fans waited impatiently for it's spinoff, Better Call Saul
to bring them back to the Heisenberg universe.
But apparently, they didn't have to wait at all
as the sequel to Breaking Bad may have already been airing,
a show called the Walking Dead.
Yeah, just keep following.
There are number of hints that the two shows
share a universe, including the blue meth that Walter White
creates appears in a Walking Dead episode
as well as even the crossbow wielding Daryl Dixon
refers to a drug deal and quotes a line right out
of Jesse Pinkman's mouth.
The theory goes on to say that the legendary blue meth
that's cooked up by Walter White may have eventually caused
the zombie apocalypse in the Walking Dead.
Okay, that last one was disturbing.
In fact, these are all pretty disturbing because they're
so realistic, I bet that these could be a thing.
But anyway, let me know what you guys think in the
comments below because this was a fantastic video to make.
It actually kind of blew my mind.
Hope it blew yours.
Fantastic.
Bye now.
