The Dark Truth about how The Viral Dog Fart Video
was faked to become viral Whats going on friends and welcome back to

The internet is a strange place that has birthed some viral stars, but not too many people
can predict what is going to blow up next. However a combination of funny animals, farting
or any unexpected bodily fluids for that matter have worked with audiences since the Americas
funniest home video days. Add those three up and cram them into one video and you have
a viral internet video masterpiece. They have to have an element of surprise though and
feel real. Thats why when a video of a dog letting off a rancid fart leading to a cat
projectile vomiting in the corner surfaced the video exploded. A user by the name of
Rex uploaded the video about a month ago simply titled - dog fart cat puke - which sounds
like a caveman named it - dog fat, cat puke, man laugh - Nonetheless its garnered an astonishing
3.1 million views in such a short amount of time. The description of the video is even
hilarious, he writes - Dog farts. Cat cant take it - I just love that title so much,
it wins least click-baity title in the history of the internet. It gives you exactly what
you clicked for - BUT with all of that said there is a bit of a dark truth behind this
viral sensation. Sadly the video was faked and consists of
two different videos perfectly stitched together to make it appear as one smooth sequence of
events. If you notice right after the dog farts the camera does this abrupt zoom into
the carpet before refocusing on the poor cat projectile vomiting. Its a clear editing cut
that reveals how the video was staged to illicit a quick laugh. Now theres nothing bad about
this, Im not saying boycott the video, humor is humor. Just because something was faked
or edited, if it made you laugh then Rex did his job. It appears as though he does that
a lot on his channel. Including a great video of Steven Seagal dancing with some music timed
over top and voices dubbed to make it appear live. Although until now though his channel
only had a few hundred views per video. Its an endless sea of funny creative edits to
content that looks like he was just trying to throw ideas at the wall to see what would
stick. Who would have thought - dog fart, cat puke - would be the one. Now the video
is also not an original upload meaning that he didnt film it himself. Its actually a brilliant
mash up of - Billy, Brad and Jakes video titled Dog farting louder than any human and YouTuber
Daniel Tillotsons video of Monty the cat vomiting called - Monty noooooo. When you think about
it though this was really clever and part of the reason it feels real is because even
the carpeting matches in both videos. Not to mention Rex has made sure to credit
both of these videos in the description, but anyone just watching the video without clicking
that would assume its real. Im just looking out for you all by giving you a harmless example
of how easily people can be fooled. This is a hilarious video, but imaging the editing
capabilities of something like the mainstream media or a clickbait article site. You always
should be suspect when consuming any content and now with the magic of editing we have
even more of a reason to look further into things before believing them immediately.
Also I should mention that Daniel the YouTuber who posted the original cat vomit video in
an interview with Unilad said - I dont care about the video begin fake. I admire the creativity
and editing that went into it. I actually had the original editor reach out to me yesterday
apologising for pinching the video saying he was just messing around and never expected
it to be this popular. - Adding - Its not about it being fake, its about the way content
is distributed without any information pointing to where things came from or who made it.
But the internet is the wild west, there are no rules here.
Hes right when saying that as well that a ton of content gets stolen and re-posted as
memes or videos for other channels with zero credit, but I disagree about the faking part
as mentioned before. I think its just a harmless example of how gullible we can be at times.
I want to hear your thoughts on this though - did you believe it right away when seeing
the video or could you tell that it was a timed edit meant for laughs. Let me know in
the comment below. And now its the moment youve all been waiting
for, its time - for some featured comments from the video titled - World Record Egg is
back and needs your help Rodrigos fishing channel says - NEXT VIDEO:

Blaze iX says - I'm confused whether I like Johnny's moustache or hate it. No middle ground
