- 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.
