One of the worst things about Fyre Festival was how they didn't pay the locals who worked for them, and left the same locals to try and placate the (understandably) angry and concerned guests. Just disgusting behaviour.
Yeah I hate people who are like “Oh loved it since a lot of rich influencers got scammed and had a somewhat bad time” and it’s like no innocent people got scammed including the locals and I believe one worker was sexually harassed it’s not oh “Eat the rich their festival sucked” it’s a huge scam that hurt lots of people. Even the influencer rich folks still didn’t deserve to be given such a shit show especially for what they paid.
I always think about that person who sucked dick to get water delivered because it wasn't paid for by the festival Festival was so bad that probably actually saved lives Tried to reword this to sound less crude but having difficulty doing so
Billy is such a legend. he could have made 20 thousand a year working as a professional clown but decided to do it for free out of pure burning passion
Charlie never leaves his crib to understand what it means to be outside, attending festivals like fire festival or pirates festival and socialising/enjoying live music!!!!
To be fair to Sheev the first Death Star took over 20 years to build so no one was expecting the second battlestation to be fully operational after just a couple of years. He just underestimated a handful of teddy bears (who wouldn't).

You’re all stupid. Feds don’t have parole. Assuming he followed the rules,he did 85% of his time and he was released. That’s how the system works - doesn’t matter who you are.
80% of the time when Charlie says "I'm sure everyone has heard all about it by now" I learn a brand new story I've never come across. And I love it, I'm here for it. EDIT: for anyone wondering how did I miss Fyre Festival, I'm from Europe, we have dramas here as well and it's easier for me to cover these if I want it or not.
@Christopher Anderson which means he's slipped some roofies in girls drinks in his day. If he's launching criminal scams like he is on a world scale... then he's DEFINITELY committed date rape
How is he the bad one? I think it’s almost admirable to trick the goofiest group of individuals ever, aka influencers into going to an ‘exclusive event’ that ended up being fema tents. It’s pretty fitting that these humans frauds got defrauded.
I still very firmly believe that he knew exactly what he was doing the entire time. He, like many other con artists, just never that he would get caught, and never thought of the consequences. His ego is up there in the top tiers. Once a crook, always a crook.
Charlie is just jealous type, never leaves his crib to u understand what it means to be going outside attending festivals like fire festival or pirates festival and socialising and enjoying live music!!!!
Nah, he's definitely just delusional. Like, if you watch the Netflix doco (or even Internet historians short video) he just got in over his head and didn't know what to do so just tried to do it. It's not like he walked away with any cash or anything at the end, or was going to, it was just a party to represent and pump up FYRE, his celebrity renting service.
I never watched the fyre festival documentary but decided to after watching this. His old employees absolutely called it when they said they wouldn't be surprised if he was caught doing the same exact thing in the next 10 years. This man is beyond comprehension
I mean, he probably learnt a lot from the failure. I won’t be mad If he manages to pull off an actual successful event and pay back the original victims.
@@dantederi5062 There are two documentaries and they are both problematic for different reasons. -- The Hulu one is called "Fyre Fraud" and they paid McFarland $250,000 for an interview. -- The Netflix one is called "Fyre" and is co-produced by Jerry Media, the company involved with promoting Fyre Festival, so they have an interest in laying all the blame on McFarland and exonerating themselves.
Whats even scarier than that guy are the people that would be willing to buy tickets to the event given the fiasco that already happened the first time
Is it actually a bad idea given that so many people were willing to throw millions of dollars at him the first time? Not just the people paying for tickets, but the investors as well. If there's anything I've learned over the past 13 years, people don't want to invest money in things that have basic sustainability, steady-net profits. They want to invest in stupid-moon shots that sound ridiculous promoted by people with pie in the sky egos and sales pitches. If you can't beat them, join them.
Charlie got the ticket price wrong, as no one had ever been proven to have paid $25'000 for a ticket. It was spread by media and naturally hadn't been fact-checked. The reason so many people got scammed is because the ticket prices were so cheap. Some people managed to only pay $500, and that's for two weeks in the Bahamas including room, food, music festivals and so on. It had big names behind it, and the project didn't show any signs of being a scam right until people showed up and saw the tents.
@@Proserpira I mean, the fact no one he claimed was there actually confirmed they were going should've been a red flag. People don't even think before buying into this shit
@@Proserpira Yeah, no. The reason so many people got scammed is because they didn't bother actually looking into it. There is not a single celebrity or influencer that would sign up for an event like this and not make a single peep about it on any platform. As bad as Billy is, the fact that this many people didn't even bother to use some simple common sense is staggering. This is akin to the phone call scammers or the "I'm a prince" e-mails that they used to have back in the day. You can't fall for this stuff unless you genuinely turn your brain completely off.
The problem is that the world has become such a satirical place, people will go just to see how bad it is but will still be paying the price doing exactly what billy wants
Honestly i dont think so, its easier to participate in online clown fests but i dont think people would fly to a remote Island expecting to live in tents with no lights for days
you think? I dunno, I see lots of the satirical thoughts online but not so much in real life. Not the same obviously but look at how many people signed up to storm area 51 and how many people actually showed up lol. I feel it would be the same thing, tons of people saying theyd go for a laugh but not actually doing it. honestly though i hope that happens because if they get a whole lot of interest and get rich investors to waste money and all of that off of that public interest to then have all those people not actually buy into it would be great.
What makes this case more hilarious and also sad, is that it wasn't a scam at all. He really believed he could do this dumpster fire of a festival and everyone who tried to tell them that they needed X amount of time and Y amount of money to make it happen was either fired for "being negative" or jumped ship when they saw which way this was going. The documentary is one of the best unintended comedies I've ever seen. Holy shit!
No he definitely knew it was going to be a disaster He just didn't want anyone telling people it was going to be a disaster, because then they wouldn't come
I think there was already so much money invested that he just couldn't allow the idea of failure because of the consequences failure or cancelling the festival would have had for him
I think the funniest part about this is that all the people who bought tickets were annoying ‘influencer’ frauds themselves and they got defrauded by someone just like them.
I'm so happy about this. That means we'll get more great Internet Historian material. The jokes will just write themselves. I hope he goes through with it, I really do
Bro really went “Man, I gotta find a way to pay off all the debt that I got into from running a giant scam… I know! I’ll run *ANOTHER* giant scam to make all the money back!” We are 1000% living in a script.
The documentary explains a lot. 1. Tickets were actually too cheap, 1k for 2 weeks in the Bahamas with food, lodging and a concert, 2. The marketing was too good and it sold out 3. He and his crew were told that they needed more time and money to organize a decent fest, he could've postponed but he was personally liable for several million dollar loans. 4. They compare themselves to Woodstock in the documentary, lol. 5. They wanted to do it on an island with NO INFRASTRUCTURE..
As a big middle finger to Billy everyone should just show up at the location unannounced without paying for their tickets and create their own party so they still get a party and Billy still loses money
I honestly want to see him proceed with another Fyre Festival and watch fail like the first one, this will hopefully mean that Internet Historian gets to make a sequel to his FF video
I remember Internet Historian’s video on it. My favourite line was “Billy claimed a storm came through the night before and turned all his promises into lies.”
When I saw the “a pirate is someone that turns the impossible possible” line, the only thing I thought of is “damn, I thought pirates were rapists and thieves lmao”
To be fair, a decent number of pirates were just guys back in the day who didn’t want to be conscripted into the British navy. On the other hand ya, a lot of them were a little rapey/plundery
Pirates deserve more than that! To read the seas and skies and maps so well, they weren’t only just rapists and thieves! A lot were of course but big up the good pirates!
Charlie actually getting serious and attacking something is truly a special thing and genuinely iconic. Truly he strings together words like a god weaving a blanket

This man is literally a psychopath. He has no remorse or fear of punishment, he simply does whatever benefits him in the short run. Psychopaths don't necessarily have to be a stereotypical killer, just someone who doesn't give a shit about consequences and only looks after themselves.
It's nuts how he kept trying to scam and find funding after fyre fest flopped so hard while sitting in a hotel room or something, waiting for police to come arrest him. Dude definatly has some kind of brain damage
To be fair a lot of pirates were also theater nerds. They would entertain themselves by putting on plays on the upper decks, sometimes hosting mock trials where they recounted the various crimes a crewman had committed. The crewman would plead his case and the crew would decide his "fate."
He was going to keep trying until pay money to be scammed turns into something mainstream that all the celebrities are doing. He's persistent with his business model, no quitter guy, truly an american role model.
"What he delivered is basically a fucking pile of sand for people to stand in, for a wildly high price" This is the best way i have ever heard Fyre described lol
I mean, these are all good points. I just think the dude is a 100%, clear-cut sociopath. He can't process that people don't like or trust him....that's impossible in his mind. He really believes everyone else is the problem, not himself. He scores a 1400 on the douche scale and will likely never change. These are the type of dudes who end up murdering someone because they literally place no value on anyone's life but their own.
Why do I have this sinking feeling that due to the notoriety of the first one, this will be a success. It's easy content and people love to be apart of something big even if it's dumb. Remember, we live in the dumbest timeline.
I swear Charlie is like my news for the day- anytime he posts I just sit down listen to whatever the hell is going on while drinking coffee or something. Best news source 10/10 no bs or anything just getting straight to the point
As a 42 year old fan of your channel, you are not wrong - more and more people are becoming delusional over time - I was fully aware and cognizant of people around me before social media, before twitter, youtube, facebook, myspace, friendster, GOOGLE, geocities, etc. We are not getting better.
Genuinely surprised how this guy can come out with story after story every day and really capture everyone's attention over the most obscure things. Charlie's a RUclips Journalist.
Ah yes, the guy who made a "festival" so bad that the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism itself apologized for it is _definitely_ gonna be allowed to host a sequel.
It's common for entrepreneurs to move on to new business ventures after the success or failure of a previous one. However, it's still important for individuals to take responsibility for their actions and to be transparent about their past experiences and any challenges they faced.

I’m not sure, he could have said something about it on twitch where he answers more questions. Maybe one of his videos but I’ve seen most of the recent ones. It’s just another parable us mortals don’t understand
For the record, Fyre Festival was not a failure. I enjoyed it very much and would call it a great success. And I didn't even go, just watched it all unfold. :D
What really sucks is that if there were a real corporation that wanted to a festival like this no one would give them the time of day because of this guy
I'll be forever gratefull to this guy for bringing the Fire Festival to life, so that InternetHistorian could make a video about it. That's the video I discovered him with. The greatest discovery ever.
One of the worst things about Fyre Festival was how they didn't pay the locals who worked for them, and left the same locals to try and placate the (understandably) angry and concerned guests. Just disgusting behaviour.
That would make sense as to why 25 dollars of every order of PYRT merch goes directly to the people of the Bahamas lol

100% he spent that time in prison talking to other inmates and figuring out a way to pull it off and not get in trouble.
@@Ren99510 that could very well be the case ☠️☠️☠️
To be honest it will play out differently for him this time.
Nobody will show up because his reputation is tarnished from Fire Festival.
Bro really went “Man, I gotta find a way to pay off all the debt that I got into from running a giant scam… I know! I’ll run *ANOTHER* giant scam to make all the money back!”
We are 1000% living in a script.
He's not trying to pay his debt he's trying to cash out and run from the consequences.
The documentary explains a lot. 1. Tickets were actually too cheap, 1k for 2 weeks in the Bahamas with food, lodging and a concert, 2. The marketing was too good and it sold out 3. He and his crew were told that they needed more time and money to organize a decent fest, he could've postponed but he was personally liable for several million dollar loans. 4. They compare themselves to Woodstock in the documentary, lol. 5. They wanted to do it on an island with NO INFRASTRUCTURE..
I really hope this PYRT festival will happen because having more Internet Historian content to watch is always nice
Having people control the festival from home is pure content
It'll take him 15 years to do a video on it, though.
@@mrkeogh I would wait a century for his videos
@@mrkeogh Give him a break, he's still stuck on that island
He finally gets to do that festival-sequel video he wanted
It's soo smile-inducing how much Charlie is trying to hold back he's laughter when explaining the PYRT 😆
@Logan Floor you should sto breathing
@Logan Floor you mean moistcharliepenguincritikal0
@Logan Floor can we appreciate how I make wetter braaps than Logan Floor
GTFO bot
I honestly thought the guy probably just made a self deprecating joke when I first heard of the name
Soulja boy will show up. Might even bring his newest game console.
As a big middle finger to Billy everyone should just show up at the location unannounced without paying for their tickets and create their own party so they still get a party and Billy still loses money
Hello there
Or jump him
Help me Obi-Wan, You're my only hope
How uncivilized.
so petty yet so brilliant..... perfect
I mean, I've thrown bad parties before, but at least I've never thrown "spend four years in prison and end up owing $26 mil" parties.
I always thought Billy was Seth McFarland’s half brother. He truly is the greatest family guy of all time
I see a resemblance to Seth MacFarlane
Seth *MacFarlane
I mean he's up there with Peter and Chris Griffin I can certainly tell you that much😂
The bird is indeed the word!!
@Logan Desk ok👍
I will give Billy credit for one thing. He gave excellent source material for Internet Historian to make one of his best videos.
I honestly want to see him proceed with another Fyre Festival and watch fail like the first one, this will hopefully mean that Internet Historian gets to make a sequel to his FF video
When life gives you lemons, Internet Historian will make a video about it that's super fun to watch somehow
@Logan Desk Charlie also admitted to making better ham sandwiches than the ones at FF
The long waiting Fyre festival season 2
I have literally already messaged sumito personally to get the news to IH
fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
I remember Internet Historian’s video on it. My favourite line was “Billy claimed a storm came through the night before and turned all his promises into lies.”
When I saw the “a pirate is someone that turns the impossible possible” line, the only thing I thought of is “damn, I thought pirates were rapists and thieves lmao”
To be fair, a decent number of pirates were just guys back in the day who didn’t want to be conscripted into the British navy.
On the other hand ya, a lot of them were a little rapey/plundery
Pirates deserve more than that! To read the seas and skies and maps so well, they weren’t only just rapists and thieves! A lot were of course but big up the good pirates!
Charlie actually getting serious and attacking something is truly a special thing and genuinely iconic. Truly he strings together words like a god weaving a blanket
You took the words out of my mouth. This was brilliant 🤣
Are you high?
Nah zoomers are just trash in comparison, penguinz is pretty in malding skills
@@Viroh good english man! keep it up 👍
If you think charlie is serious or mad in this Video you actually dont know him at all… 😅
0:38 Yes Charlie, all 3.6 million of us have seen this documentary that most people never heard about.
This guy is more like Eddy than Ed in that episode where Eddy tries to run the same scam multiple times with minor “tweeks” each attempt thinking the other kids wouldn’t catch on and that he was going to be rich
I know that episode! “Once Bitten, Twice Ed!”
It's not that Charlie is angry, it's that he's disappointed
charlie knows best
And angry
You know Charlie isn’t messing around when his use of the word delusional is being used more frequently than normal
Never understood that "you wouldn't download a car" campaign. Everyone I know would absolutely download a car if they could.
This man is the textbook definition of doubling down on a bet you knowingly will lose
I agree.
This guy had 4 years of his life to think in a cell and finally came up with the same idea that brought him to prison in the first place
What’s even more sad is, probably people will buy the tickets lmao. It wouldn’t surprise me
A bot has stolen your comment. And of course it has a couple hundred more likes than this one as of now.
@@jakehero95 man this bot problem lately is goddamn annoying. Seeing it on every videos 😒.
@@xSpooKee fr it got old a long time ago. Yet youtube still does nothing about it while they make as many changes that screw over creators and censor *us* as they can. Blows my mind that a bot can say the n-word and stay visible meanwhile if I just call someone ignorant my comment will be hidden from everyone except who I tagged. It's absurdly frustrating and ridiculous.
@@jakehero95 yeah you’re comment now is actually hidden. You didn’t even say one swear word. Guess ignorant is a bad word. Man I hate what RUclips is becoming and what they are doing these past years.
After seeing people pay hundreds of dollars for an energy drink, I wouldn't be surprised if soon people are on TikTok bragging about what trendy, expensive scam they fell for.
The weird thing is, there may be people that will still donate to him; even after everything that transpired.
As a fan of internet historian i see this as an absolute win!
Hopefully we'll get another episode within the next 5 years!
Oh yeah this is going to make a good one
Yeah I’m about to watch his video on the first one and witness the horrors
SAME. That one is up there with one about Fallout 76. I wish he made more, but the fact they're so rare makes them that more precious 😂
@@jewel8425 The way I look at it, they take a long time because of the quality. Heck, me even managed to rethink No Man's Sky, which is something I didn't expect.
I hope he goes through with it. We need more content.
@Ken North he will find them. people are more stupid than we can imagine.
@@ddenozor people were shocked when they found out rainbow wasn’t a flavour, humanity is not to be trusted
It will totally be different this time he's a trustworthy fella
I am a bot
@@clover4624 I feel like your the only one not a bot in my replies lol
its the equivalent of getting another creditcard to pay of your creditcard debt.
This man is literally a psychopath. He has no remorse or fear of punishment, he simply does whatever benefits him in the short run. Psychopaths don't necessarily have to be a stereotypical killer, just someone who doesn't give a shit about consequences and only looks after themselves.
Yep
His brain is just calculating get rich quick schemes 24/7
Americas being run by the exact same kind of people. We’re done.
It's nuts how he kept trying to scam and find funding after fyre fest flopped so hard while sitting in a hotel room or something, waiting for police to come arrest him. Dude definatly has some kind of brain damage
@@samueljaworski5737 you mean "go into debt speedruns"?
At this rate I’m shocked he doesn’t just start a kickstarter to pay off his 26 mil debt
To be fair a lot of pirates were also theater nerds. They would entertain themselves by putting on plays on the upper decks, sometimes hosting mock trials where they recounted the various crimes a crewman had committed. The crewman would plead his case and the crew would decide his "fate."
That guy looks exactly like my neighbor, I’m frightened
Lol "You slimy salamander" Charlie always cracks me up

He was going to keep trying until pay money to be scammed turns into something mainstream that all the celebrities are doing. He's persistent with his business model, no quitter guy, truly an american role model.
“If you bet on the stupidity of the Americans public you’ll never go broke”
The modern American Dream
I'm with him Fyre festival was a complete fail, screw it double down and try again. What else has he got to lose?
I can't wait to pay $600,000 for a straw bed and burlap blanket
And then have your burlap blanket stolen by someone who’s hoarding them
The worst part is the people who know who he is and will still pay him
Exactly 💯
"What he delivered is basically a fucking pile of sand for people to stand in, for a wildly high price"
This is the best way i have ever heard Fyre described lol
I love that the court didn't legally bar him from arranging events.
They didn't think he would be this stupid lmao
he's not delusional, he's a narcissist. He thinks he's smarter than everyone else.
Same thing. Lol
@@amandaburr cringe
You just defined delusional.
Olivier how is that cringe? People like you overusing the word have basically killed it Smfh narcissism is a form of delusion edgelord
Narcissist are delusional though haha
If this dude even managed to get a hold of another island to use, I'm impressed
what do you mean "another" dude didn't even get the first one lol
The Bahamas have confirmed they won’t allow him to stage another event there, and that he is still wanted by police.
It's virtual reality. A tropical island experience from the comfort of home is what I gathered lol 🤭
I think this man is genuinely Insane, not just delusional.
i am sexually attracted to donuts
@Don't Read My Profile Picture go touch grass now
I mean i would go to jail for 6 years for 25 million... I mean a little over 4 mil a year isn't too bad of a payday.
@@memeier9894 he doesn’t get to keep the money 😂
@@memeier9894 he isnt keeping the money he's in debt
I mean, these are all good points. I just think the dude is a 100%, clear-cut sociopath. He can't process that people don't like or trust him....that's impossible in his mind. He really believes everyone else is the problem, not himself. He scores a 1400 on the douche scale and will likely never change. These are the type of dudes who end up murdering someone because they literally place no value on anyone's life but their own.
Totally agree. I first thought he was a compulsive con-artist. But I reckon being unable to accept responsibility makes more sense here.
Why do I have this sinking feeling that due to the notoriety of the first one, this will be a success. It's easy content and people love to be apart of something big even if it's dumb. Remember, we live in the dumbest timeline.
Could be worse. Weird people could’ve made Fyre festival successful the first time for those reasons lol
This Billy dude should really get into NFTs, because he's great at selling absolutely nothing to people for extortionate prices.
Right? People who are exactly like him have become NFT overlords and made bank. He just picked the wrong scam for the era.
I swear Charlie is like my news for the day- anytime he posts I just sit down listen to whatever the hell is going on while drinking coffee or something. Best news source 10/10 no bs or anything just getting straight to the point
As a 42 year old fan of your channel, you are not wrong - more and more people are becoming delusional over time - I was fully aware and cognizant of people around me before social media, before twitter, youtube, facebook, myspace, friendster, GOOGLE, geocities, etc. We are not getting better.
Genuinely surprised how this guy can come out with story after story every day and really capture everyone's attention over the most obscure things.
Charlie's a RUclips Journalist.
Nobody can keep up with him dudes a beast
One word: Charisma
Ah yes, the guy who made a "festival" so bad that the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism itself apologized for it is _definitely_ gonna be allowed to host a sequel.
It's common for entrepreneurs to move on to new business ventures after the success or failure of a previous one. However, it's still important for individuals to take responsibility for their actions and to be transparent about their past experiences and any challenges they faced.
Imagine having 4 years to plan the greatest comeback of all time only to repeat the worst scam of the century
If i was a scammer and good at my job, i would do it again after getting out of prison ✌🏻
It's not just him making this festival again, it's that there's people out there that are willing to go
Thank you Billy. Finally we can get another episode from Internet Historian.
Billy McFarland: All I have to do is not promise results
also Billy: THERE WILL BE VIRTUAL REALITY THAT YOU CAN CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF THE ISLAND LIKE BUILDING IN MINE CRAFT BUT YOU ARE ACTUALLY BUILDING IRL USING MAGIC
AHAHAHAuy my stupid monkie gif i really need the money :( ajahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa
2:48 honestly, just let him do it. If you're dumb enough to fall for it and get scammed by a known scammer, you kinda deserved it.
True, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me
It’s been a journey watching his arm heal the past few days, I hope it’s doing great
I noticed it, no idea what happened tho
what happened to his arm?
New tattoo?
I’m not sure, he could have said something about it on twitch where he answers more questions. Maybe one of his videos but I’ve seen most of the recent ones. It’s just another parable us mortals don’t understand
@@lorynhansenn He scratched the mole
For the record, Fyre Festival was not a failure. I enjoyed it very much and would call it a great success. And I didn't even go, just watched it all unfold. :D
Yeah...the festival was so good that he went to jail for it
Lots of scammer drama lately and i enjoyed every moment of it
What really sucks is that if there were a real corporation that wanted to a festival like this no one would give them the time of day because of this guy
I like to imagine this guy actually pulling this off & inventing all the stuff he promised right there on the spot like a comic book mastermind
basically Gwenpool
@Patrick39 bro you need to stop
Just when the world needed him least, Billy McFarland returned to bring us back to monke.
I haven't laughed this hard in a while, Charlie's truly a wordsmith 😂
@Logan Floor that’s crazyyy

That's the video I discovered him with.
The greatest discovery ever.
IH can even make sponsorships interesting.
