Don't miss these other great Top 10's, Top 10 UFO Sightings Top 10 Mythical Creatures Top 10 Unexplained Phenomena: Mysteries The Top 10 Conspiracies of All Time
caticia1 Of course aliens exist .How do people think we are the only Planet with intelligent life in the universe or even just life on the planet.Who ever does is just blinding themselves from reality.
Ryan Huntington In order to be a hoax, they have to say it's happening. Valve has never said anything about HL3 and they actually said this year that they're never going to make it.
you never knew what was going on, watch internet historian video, that explain everything, its not hoax, the dude literally tought his boy was inside the baloon, and the government really push them off just because they wasting their time???? bro whats wrong with helping a boy inside the balloon even tho he is never in there atleast they tried to help and what the outcome instead, they pushed the family and broke it, the mayor pardon the man but never gave back everything they take from them, fucking nuts.
You know what I like? Crossovers. You know, Alien vs. Predator, Jason vs. Freddy, Detective Connan meets Lupin III,, Toriko, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Goku and Luffy together, stuff like that? Official crossovers, of course, not including fanfiction and fanart, though some of those are quite good. Have you made a list on that yet?
LE SLOTH Anyone can do them. All you need is a piece of wood, rope, pen, paper and a functioning brain. Maybe a flashlight too if you're doing it at night. So many idiots are doing them now that every year it costs hundreds of millions in lost profit from the trampled crops.
Not you too, Watchmojo. There was no mass hysteria during the War Of The Worlds broadcast. When the program aired there was a telephone poll going on, it turned out that very few people were listening that night. It was a case of newspapers abusing their power.
Not to mention a hoax is something done to deliberately scam people, and war of the worlds was not done for that reason. People need to look up the meaning of hoax.
+ChrisCa1601 There was a mass panic in 1949 in Ecuador, though, when War of the Worlds was re-aired. And this was clearly a hoax and intended as such. When it became clear that the alien invasion did not happen, the panic turned into a riot and an attack on the radio station and seven people were killed.
What is a Manti Te'o and what was the hoax around that thing? People having fake girlfriends isn't newsworthy, there must be something I'm missing there...
how about BBC one with David Attenborough on 1st of April 2010 (I think it was 2010 anyway) where they had an advert saying they had discovered flying penguins as an April fools prank and a high proportion of Britain initially believed it
I wouldn't consider number 1 a hoax. It was more a mistake than anything else. They didn't do it with the intention of tricking people it just happened that way. So yeah not a hoax.
What's sad, is that I believe on some radio stations they play the exact same recording every year, with the disclaimers that it is fake, and people still fall for it. Every year.
That hasn't been proven to be a hoax. In fact, many examinations and attempts to recreate the video have led researchers to believe it to be authentic.
Kony 2012 isn't on here? That was seriously one of the funniest things because my school fell for all of it and started donating money we didn't have 😂
+Daniel Gibney yeah but Kony 2012 was still a hoax. They only donated about 38% to Uganda. The rest went to making stupid videos so you would donate more.
How about a 10 ten movie myths that aren't factual? Such as a gun shot can not actually ignite flammable objects (gas tanks, gasoline etc) only one bullet exists that can cause a spark. Piranhas will not eat you alive, they are way too scared of something over 100 times the size of it. Crime scenes don't chalk outline where dead bodies where. Tarantulas are not deadly, their bite is equal to a bee sting. and many more...
Reginald Sin but they wouldn't be able to rip the flesh off your bones within seconds....the worls is not a comic ;) but it's pretty dangerous nevertheless....
Actually since most of the ocean is unknown Megalodons might still exist. There have been many cases even on land when people think an animal is extint but then find an example to prove the.m wrong.
WatchMojo though! Whenever I click on a youtube tab, I want to search what's on my mind. I see an uploaded video from you guys and I HAVE to click on it. Your videos are so interesting and they consume my time and I allow it. I could really go on a non intended spree just from one video. Keep up the good work folks at WatchMojo. Stay on top, and stay tight. I know you won't see this comment, but someone will... And they will agree.
In regard to "Milli Vanilli can sing" at 6:03, they should also include one for "Taylor Swift can sing", which is a much bigger hoax that dwarfs the Milli Vanilli one mentioned here.
Have you found a shark with teeth of equal size to megalodon's, have you found a live specimen or just a corpse? No, no and no? Then they do no longer exist... for now. It's the same as Yeti, if you don't get a deffinite specimen you can't confirm it exists, therefore its BS.
It's possible,68% of the ocean has yet to be seen by mankind. we don't know what's out there, it could be more possible to find some recent traces of evidence too.
***** But that's exactly the problem. It's supposed to be real just cause you can't confirm it's not there? People should start talking about e.g. megalodon existing only after conducting research and providing *TANGABLE* evidence, that's when something starts being a factographical information or in the very least a theory. It's like with humped spinosaurus. I believe in that cause there is evidence for it, not cause someone said you can't confirm spinosaurs can't have a hump, not just cause we don't know how 80% of it's total skeleton looked like.
I agree with Galejro, IF theres something in those oceans and seas they'd easly just come from where the fuck they are and come attack us for food or evolve.
Jack Howitzer That would depend. You see at certain depths animals don't simply surface. For one, because they are adapted only to a certain pressure, go higher and you die, for second, even if they die at such depths pressure prevents bloating of a body and surfacing. So the claim that a vast majority of ocean bottoms is unexplored seems a tangible loophole for mythical creatures to exist. We also have the concept of *endemic* species. It may be that a creature of such size would live only in that one area of the bottom which we simply haven't discovered. The point is, we don't have evidence to speak that megalodon can still be alive today, but there is still a large enough field where we simply haven't checked to confirm it's all just a lie. This is one of those things that push us forward to new discoveries. I condemn people who try to find Yeti, but I don't discourage them from conducting research in that field cause it gets us closer to a definite answer, whether they DO exist or DO NOT. When cryptozoologists try to find a mythical creature and completely fail that is NOT a fail, it provides evidence that something does not exist, and is a tangible result, they shouldn't feel bad about it.
No, that was everyone being an idiot. The Mayans never stated that that was the end, just the end of that calendar cycle, but people pass it on by word of mouth and the truth gets distorted.
Are you kidding me ? How can you have a top 10 hoax list without including the most famous hoax in music history, the " Paul is dead " hoax of the late 60"s ? Instead, you chose to choose Millie Vanilli ? Holy shit, someone on your staff should be fired
+casey george Milli Vanilli was genuinely a hoax, the "singers" were just pretending. I never heard that people genuinely believed Paul McCartney actually got killed-and if so, it must have been a short-lived hoax. John Lennon's and George Harrison's genuine deaths got no small amount of publicity.
bigverybadtom Tom, are you serious ? You actually believe that the Milli Vanilli lip syncing incident was a bigger hoax than PAUL IS DEAD ? Further stating you" never heard that people actually believed it" Well, either you weren't even alive in the 60's, or you were walking around with your head up your ass. Not only did many believe it to be true, but great efforts were made by people to prove it. The hoax was the topic of discussion of every news media of the day. You also say it was "short Lived", you could not be more wrong. The Paul is dead hoax remained a topic of controversy longer than the rise to fame and fall from grace of Milli Vanilli. People would post vocal patterns of Pauls voice ifrom early 60's and then compare to post 1966 recordings, claiming he had been killed that year in an auto accident. From the release of Sgt.Peppers, all Beatles albums that were released were thoroughly analyzed, both in music/lyrics as well as clues on album artwork. Wake up Tom, before Paul IS actually dead
I think so. You have to understand that during this time the UK was recovering from rationing during the war and food was pretty much abysmal. Spaghetti wasn't really eaten as much as it is now and the only thing many people could have told you was that it was from Italy.
Eh, it is what it is. There might have been a time when people would believe that, it's just one of those thing that looking at it from the other side just seems odd.
To be honest, I believe the idea was horrible but the concept was pretty crazy. I believe this shows how society has changed from being a nice family, to wanting a reality t-v show. Crazy :)
AkilTheAwesome if you paid attention with the video of the moon landing there was a stick within the flag to make it look blowing. they even said they did that. so the Moon landing is not there because it is not a hoax. it happen.
I find speculation about the megalodon a little premature. We have nothing to determine how large it was, just that it had really big teeth... wouldn't it be funny if it was the size of a normal great white shark just with really big teeth xD
Atually reason will lead us that is true. but after lonf reasearch in the teeth of sharks and animals, there is a correlation with the teeth size and how big the creatures is. So we can't say that it is just a shark with big teeth.
jose carlos Munoz Yes, but this differs from one species to the next, look at Whale Sharks, they are the largest shark species we know of today and they have among the smallest teeth of any shark. In the past animals adapted differently than they are today, look at the smilodon, it had two huge sabre teeth, if you only found those two teeth you couldn't simply assume it was from a cat 50' long that gulped down mammoths like a fox eats rabbits could you? Basically what im saying is all we know for sure is that we know nothing... maybe sharks in the past breathed fire, who knows, I know I don't :)
There have been partial fossils found now so we now know that the prediction was almost right,but they miss-judge a tiny bit.But I mean Predator X was huge,I mean that thing at Megelodons as snacks.
ASCG5000 I just did! As others are free to claim that evolution is a hoax (showing a clear lack of a basic understanding of biology, geology, and paleontology) I too am free to say what I want. Prove there is a god, and I shall reconsider my opinion of religion :P
***** That sounds really nice, except for the part where religion is made up... Also, countless Christians have claimed that God's realm and God's nature is unknowable, therefore it cannot be studied empirically. Science and religion are almost complete polar opposites.
No Bigfoot? And Nessie is only an honorable mention. That surprises me. Of course I guess those have not been proven to NOT exist I suppose. What about Meremaids?
Evolution. *Runs before evolutionists begin talking that I believe in a magical being, the 4.000 years thing, or that I need to study more and things like that. LOL
It never ceases to amuse me though that even though these things have been exposed as hoaxes for a long time now, people are still dumb enough to believe they're true and won't listen !
Harleen Quinn I once used to think the BBC was the only honest newsagency. After being in Cairo and seeing WMOE (with my own eyes) what was happening and hearing the reports on the BBC. I realised that my eyes do not see the truth, because The BBC always tells it.
Justin Bieber IS a Hoax. His song and video Baby is one of the most disliked videos on the internet, yet he still became a "star". In 2014 it was revealed at least 17 million of his 40m twitter followers were fake accounts His label uses his fans (kids) as bots to inflate his numbers even encouraging them to put his song on repeat overnight on Spotify - not to mention the third world country "click farms" Even RUclips does it. If you go to the Music tab under explore it will automatically cycle 5 major label videos for five seconds, every time it does it counts a view and goes in your search history so the artist will be recommended to you despite the user never clicking on the track, the artist, or even a play button. The entire Mainstream music industry is a hoax. We call it Payola.
the bbc once convinced half of the UK in the 50's that spaghetti was a naturally grown and that there were spaghetti farms were all over england and scotland. that was a pretty big hoax but is was a april fools joke that lasted about a month so mabye its on another list
I remember that one! That is hilarious to watch now. And the one about the group of people with a third eye... that's why people wore bandannas around their foreheads.... Funny stuff!
***** depends if food sources are near the surface if not it may remain down below if that is where it feeds more successfully but on either end I would be glad to not be in the ocean.
It could still exist,it hunted every where and now if it did still exist it would probably be Deep-sea as we dont know whats down there.I mean we aren't 100% sure they are real,but thats where we thing the mega squid thing would be if it is real.I mean for all we know Predator X could still be alive and live in the deep ocean(btw Predator X was the thing thats ate Megalodons for snacks)
Why must everyone comment and say that religion is the biggest hoax? Why can't we just let people believe what they want without claiming what they believe is a hoax?
ikr like people are hating on me at school because I say god is fake because we were created by heat and gas and humans were made by the tempreture and that like I have the things I believe in and they have there's and please if anyone of you people who believe in god please do NOT say go to hell I have head it before
Because what religious believers claim is demonstrably false, and they're spreading lies, so they have to be criticised. People often say religions are OK as long as the followers don't try to force it down everyone's throats, but all religious people spend most of their time doing just that, so someone has to stand up against them. Religious folk are right now hacking the heads off people in Iraq and Syria, so don't think for a second that religion is somehow harmless.
if anyone could provide any evidence that their religion was real, then I wouldn't care, but there is no proof, and people beliefs lead them to kill others. that's why I have a problem with it
astrophonix Nobody should be criticized! That's like saying what gay people do is demonstrably not natural therefore they should be criticized (not that I believe that). Also the fact that what gay people choose to do is not a negative thing is shoved down everyone's throats every day. There are tons of other examples of this everywhere, so don't single out religion, they're all the same thing. Also religion is a massive part of what makes up our cultural differences and our culture as a whole. The diversity of the world is amazing and I think we should all appreciate it.
LatiasDita There was never a "missing link". The "missing link" was based on the belief that humans descended from apes, and as such we had to find a fossil that would be the transition from apes to humans. We since understand that humans and apes descend from a common ancestor, not from one another, and we are no more looking for a "missing link".
I remember Ballon boy. I knew it was a bunch of bull shit during their first tv interview (basically a day or two later). The kid that was supposedly in the Ballon basically snitched on the whole family when he said, "I saw daddy run into the house and call the police then the news people."
***** Disagreeing with someones lifestyle is not hate. While I agree that groups like Westboro Baptist, which aren't actually religious as they refuse the teachings of Jesus Christ, are hateful, not all are. In fact, the majority are not. But, because you don't agree with our disagreeing with that lifestyle you propose that we are horrible, and garbage and worthless human beings. But if anyone agrees with you, they are just saintly.
Look I don't think people should treat religious people like shit but come on, you can't argue against a person's sex or race but you can argue their beliefs. I'm not religious myself but I also don't agree in how people are talking to those who are. But, as I said, you cannot compare it to sex or race which are biological whereas religion is a belief.
colonel coover No, it's not as bad. A racist hates people of different races. A homophobe hates people that are homosexuals. A sexist hates people of a certain sex. They all hate PEOPLE. These anti-religious comments are directed at religion, not religious people. Are people who disagree with or hate communism as bad as racists? What about people who hate racism?
I'm not sure the War of the Worlds broadcast can be described as a hoax. They clearly told people it was a radio play before the broadcast began. Anyone tuning in late to the broadcast should have realized it was a radio play. It was the time Orson Welles and his troupe were supposed to be on and anyone tuning in late should have recognized his very distinct voice.
I'm surprised the 2012 doomsday hoax isn't on this list. A lot of people believed in that as die-hard believers. My friend was one of them and when the day after the supposed end of the world came and everything was fine, I just told him "I told you so"
InvisiMan2006 Funny how you believe this life is all you've got, and you spend it online making fun of people who believe differently than you. Well maybe it isn't so much funny as it is sad.
from outside americans have always been stupid fat asses. im not being racist (just look in the countrys arcives) just saying, no one likes americans except themself. Do you even know what propaganda is?
How can you forget, The Society for Indecency to Naked Animals, by Alan Abel and Buck Henry? Remember, "Decency today means morality tomorrow," and "A nude horse is a rude horse."
WatchMojo is way better than Alltime10s with both the quality and quantity of research material and presentation even if its 480p. Especially now that Alltime has gone into the conspiracy theory nut path.
How about the fake documentary about mermaids?. Discovery Channel had done similar things with dragons and the end of the world, but in that case made it look too serious and realistic.

Ryan Huntington In order to be a hoax, they have to say it's happening. Valve has never said anything about HL3 and they actually said this year that they're never going to make it.
Miles McClain u do realize they are talking about the rumors that have been online smart one
Balloon boy shows how people are willing to play with people's minds and hearts for fame and money, those parents deserved the jail time they got
You should watch balloon boy the story you never knew and it wasn’t a hoax
In a strange coincidence, there was another hoax where a family claimed that their son named Balloon was carried away by a Falcon.
Only the white paleface
you never knew what was going on, watch internet historian video, that explain everything, its not hoax, the dude literally tought his boy was inside the baloon, and the government really push them off just because they wasting their time???? bro whats wrong with helping a boy inside the balloon even tho he is never in there atleast they tried to help and what the outcome instead, they pushed the family and broke it, the mayor pardon the man but never gave back everything they take from them, fucking nuts.

This needs more thumb ups.
You know what's a hoax? The US being the best country.
That's not a hoax because it has never been established, only Americans would believe that and statistics show that is most definitely not the case

It's fucking 2014 and Mojo has the guts to release their videos with 480p as the highest quality?

animallover0275 I don't know about you, but everybody who has a big computer and wants to see their videos in good quality?
kodasmith1 Spoiled much? It shouldn't be about the quality, you should just appreciate the video for its content .
youtube fucks up sometimes with the quality
animallover0275 I am not spoiled, but it should just be embarrassing to not go with what's normal. It's not that hard to update video quality.
I'm shocked the Surgeon's Loch Ness Monster photo was only an honorable mention.

Is 7 really good enough for this list?
What is a Manti Te'o and what was the hoax around that thing? People having fake girlfriends isn't newsworthy, there must be something I'm missing there...
Magnus Jönsson Well Manti Te'o actually believed he had a girlfriend so the Hoax was on him.
I got that, but compared to the War of the Worlds hoax? I've never even heard of "Manti Te'o" before!
I agree with you. People who obsess over it need to get a life
Yes
Not a bad list; but, I am surprised WatchMojo chose the whole Megalodon hoax over the Mermaids from 2012.
how about BBC one with David Attenborough on 1st of April 2010 (I think it was 2010 anyway) where they had an advert saying they had discovered flying penguins as an April fools prank and a high proportion of Britain initially believed it

Nice #1 totally agree. Best acting in the history of Radio.
At the beginning of this video she said
"Do not believe everything you see!"
Hmm...what if this video is a hoax!
r u kidding? nothing about that famous bigfoot video?
That hasn't been proven to be a hoax. In fact, many examinations and attempts to recreate the video have led researchers to believe it to be authentic.
AntLionAlpha if you're talking about the Patterson film then it was proven to be fake in the 80s.
Kony 2012 isn't on here? That was seriously one of the funniest things because my school fell for all of it and started donating money we didn't have 😂
2012 wasn't purposely set up by some Mayan a long time ago.
+Cadoba123 Kony 2012 was a completely separate thing to the 2012 end-of-the-world belief.
+Daniel Gibney yeah but Kony 2012 was still a hoax. They only donated about 38% to Uganda. The rest went to making stupid videos so you would donate more.
big foot should be number one, people still talk about it lol
There is even a TV show with so called experts looking for bigfoot.
Lol
E. Malatchi "Oh, look! I think we found Bigfoot! No? Well, maybe we'll find him 3 seasons later."
I remember seeing that show first air around 2008, if bigfoot was actually real, they would of found him by now.
Exactly. There's only so many places he could be xD

Megalodon does ;P
0GregorSchultz0 "Help me i'm terrified of the extinct shark" said no one ever

not debatable at all really
2012 Mayan hoax.
Thats not a hoax it was a superstition.
YokaiPrincess You meant prediction not superstition.
No, that was everyone being an idiot. The Mayans never stated that that was the end, just the end of that calendar cycle, but people pass it on by word of mouth and the truth gets distorted.
Yes, thank you Nathan. I couldn't word for some reason... That's still not a hoax though.
***** actually they found another calendar that says its ontil 95000000 and something

You also say it was "short Lived", you could not be more wrong. The Paul is dead hoax remained a topic of controversy longer than the rise to fame and fall from grace of Milli Vanilli. People would post vocal patterns of Pauls voice ifrom early 60's and then compare to post 1966 recordings, claiming he had been killed that year in an auto accident. From the release of Sgt.Peppers, all Beatles albums that were released were thoroughly analyzed, both in music/lyrics as well as clues on album artwork. Wake up Tom, before Paul IS actually dead
They forgot Bigfoot
Maybe it isn't a hoax...
The spaghetti tree was hilarious too.
The Paul McCartney being dead hoax lmao there's a whole movie on that
THE TROJAN HORSE?
I can see where you are going but I wouldnt really count that as a hoax more of a military strategy
What about the BBC fake report from the 50's or 60's where they told everyone that Spaghetti grew on trees.
Did people actually believe it?
I think so. You have to understand that during this time the UK was recovering from rationing during the war and food was pretty much abysmal. Spaghetti wasn't really eaten as much as it is now and the only thing many people could have told you was that it was from Italy.
Eh, it is what it is. There might have been a time when people would believe that, it's just one of those thing that looking at it from the other side just seems odd.
0:56 the music in the background explains it all
Are you serious Watchmojo?? U put Surgeon's Lochness Monster photo as an honorable mention?!?? Do you know what that photo did to the world!?? -__-
Im from Cadiff and everyone is 10ft tall here.
I'm from Endor and we were the ones who saved you from the War of the Worlds, those news were only cover-ups. This list is total nerfshit.
Balloon Boy? Your going to Lure alot of FNAF Fans for that....
omfg xD Nice one
+DarkCreeperMCYT™ You're...
GRAMMAR NAZI'S!!! VEREINIGEN!!!!
+DarkCultistTerrariaYT™ (OKEY4DINE4EVER Poster) like ME
balloon boy is a five nights at freddy's animatronic
That balloon hoax was so despicable. Playing on everyone's sympathy for nothing more than another crap reality show
To be honest, I believe the idea was horrible but the concept was pretty crazy. I believe this shows how society has changed from being a nice family, to wanting a reality t-v show. Crazy :)
The Moon Landing didn't make the list?
shut up that actually happen. It has been proven with the images that are left.
jose carlos Munoz
But the flag is blowing in the "wind", There is no wind in space.
AkilTheAwesome
Right, there's no wind, so it wasn't "blowing in the wind." As any rocket scientist.
AkilTheAwesome if you paid attention with the video of the moon landing there was a stick within the flag to make it look blowing. they even said they did that. so the Moon landing is not there because it is not a hoax. it happen.
Because it wasn't a hoax. they proved it on Mythbusters.
The War of the Worlds wasn't a hoax, it was more a misunderstanding.
What about the world ending in 2012?
What about the Blair Witch? Many people fell for it at the time.
Especially the part when everybody thought the performers were all dead.
For No.10, same thing with the mermaid documentary.
Spent all my day procrastinating and watching all these.
I find speculation about the megalodon a little premature.
We have nothing to determine how large it was, just that it had really big teeth... wouldn't it be funny if it was the size of a normal great white shark just with really big teeth xD
Atually reason will lead us that is true. but after lonf reasearch in the teeth of sharks and animals, there is a correlation with the teeth size and how big the creatures is. So we can't say that it is just a shark with big teeth.
jose carlos Munoz Yes, but this differs from one species to the next, look at Whale Sharks, they are the largest shark species we know of today and they have among the smallest teeth of any shark.
In the past animals adapted differently than they are today, look at the smilodon, it had two huge sabre teeth, if you only found those two teeth you couldn't simply assume it was from a cat 50' long that gulped down mammoths like a fox eats rabbits could you?
Basically what im saying is all we know for sure is that we know nothing... maybe sharks in the past breathed fire, who knows, I know I don't :)
There have been partial fossils found now so we now know that the prediction was almost right,but they miss-judge a tiny bit.But I mean Predator X was huge,I mean that thing at Megelodons as snacks.
They’ve found fossils of the sharks and have determined how big the shark can become
#1 Santa... ;-;
liek iff u crie evrytim
Never believed in him anyways.
@@Ebin_RDAK you uncultured swine...
people in the comments scare me greatly.
A lot of people in the comments seem to be confusing hoaxes and conspiracy theories.
Orson Welles: what a legend.
You almost got me lol! After the milli vanilli song i figured out what you were doing. Good job. Your very entertaining.
Kim Kardashian...
what? did she turn out to be a falsified urban legend created by a TV station? (LOL)
Waltham1892 You're asking the wrong guy. I try to ignore that kind of stuff.
hey guys are you still alive? it's been 7 years
I would have had religion at #1!
Believe what you want, but seriously just don'y even go there.
ASCG5000
I just did! As others are free to claim that evolution is a hoax (showing a clear lack of a basic understanding of biology, geology, and paleontology) I too am free to say what I want. Prove there is a god, and I shall reconsider my opinion of religion :P
rapturas Evolution is real, I just don't sees how the big bang theory started earth..
Julio Valdez You are clearly arguing from ignorance.
***** That sounds really nice, except for the part where religion is made up...
Also, countless Christians have claimed that God's realm and God's nature is unknowable, therefore it cannot be studied empirically. Science and religion are almost complete polar opposites.
Number 1 should have been when George w. Bush said there were wmd's in Iraq.
Your channel doing good job
Keep it up guys
And all the best
Loominarty is not hoax.
0:56 background music proves it all.
Yes sir!
+TheCroszomeBrothers ahahaha... I was looking for this kind of comment.
What no Beatles "Paul is dead" hoax?
No Bigfoot? And Nessie is only an honorable mention. That surprises me. Of course I guess those have not been proven to NOT exist I suppose. What about Meremaids?
All of those are more than just one "hoax" there have been many hoaxes of those.
There is no proof that these don't exist, they may be out there
#11. the discovery channel mermaid special
Evolution.
*Runs before evolutionists begin talking that I believe in a magical being, the 4.000 years thing, or that I need to study more and things like that. LOL
It never ceases to amuse me though that even though these things have been exposed as hoaxes for a long time now, people are still dumb enough to believe they're true and won't listen !
What about WOMD in Iraq?
+Thomas Bögel That is news old chap. It was on the TV and everything so it must be true!
+Stephen Brookes right lol
Harleen Quinn I once used to think the BBC was the only honest newsagency. After being in Cairo and seeing WMOE (with my own eyes) what was happening and hearing the reports on the BBC. I realised that my eyes do not see the truth, because The BBC always tells it.
Thats so crazy... i swear the news loves propganda ... they have to sensationalize everything
Harleen Quinn Sensationalisation is one thing. Saying the complete opposite of what was happening on the streets of Cairo is another.
The boy in the balloon BWAHAHA! I completely forgot about that XD
Justin Bieber, it is yet to be revealed through.
My guess he's a secret alien weapon that melts teenagers' brains.
Justin Bieber IS a Hoax.
His song and video Baby is one of the most disliked videos on the internet, yet he still became a "star".
In 2014 it was revealed at least 17 million of his 40m twitter followers were fake accounts
His label uses his fans (kids) as bots to inflate his numbers even encouraging them to put his song on repeat overnight on Spotify - not to mention the third world country "click farms"
Even RUclips does it. If you go to the Music tab under explore it will automatically cycle 5 major label videos for five seconds, every time it does it counts a view and goes in your search history so the artist will be recommended to you despite the user never clicking on the track, the artist, or even a play button.
The entire Mainstream music industry is a hoax. We call it Payola.
the bbc once convinced half of the UK in the 50's that spaghetti was a naturally grown and that there were spaghetti farms were all over england and scotland. that was a pretty big hoax but is was a april fools joke that lasted about a month so mabye its on another list
I remember that one! That is hilarious to watch now. And the one about the group of people with a third eye... that's why people wore bandannas around their foreheads.... Funny stuff!
And now the BBC is.....well shit
You guys have to make more of these kind of videos!!!!
Meg could still exist we know more about our moon than our own ocean.
When it comes to the deep sea, yes.
But a non-deep-sea big ass predatory shark?
I think we would have noticed.
***** depends if food sources are near the surface if not it may remain down below if that is where it feeds more successfully but on either end I would be glad to not be in the ocean.
It probably would have evolved into something else by now if It didn't die. They was around millions of years ago.
It could still exist,it hunted every where and now if it did still exist it would probably be Deep-sea as we dont know whats down there.I mean we aren't 100% sure they are real,but thats where we thing the mega squid thing would be if it is real.I mean for all we know Predator X could still be alive and live in the deep ocean(btw Predator X was the thing thats ate Megalodons for snacks)
chromeshellking Utter nonsense. They should make a list of common MYTHS idiots constantly believe are true.
Number 1 should have been: God is real
God IS real
+Mike Shirey
Hey hey, let's not start a flame war here.
(I do agree tho)
**Peace out**
Mike Shirey which god is real?
+Antony Costa exactly!!!!
Ya where's the bible on this list?
#8 I knew Sir Arthur believed in fairies, but is this the reason?
#6 This whole thing was hilarious.
Hmm, im surprised Atheism wasnt on the list
Herald Yoman Its no hoax, I AM ONE IDIOT.
Herald Yoman What do you mean? There are people that don't belive in god. Simple
John Lemon i dont think so
Herald Yoman You think that they don't exist? And god does?
John Lemon yeah
Why must everyone comment and say that religion is the biggest hoax? Why can't we just let people believe what they want without claiming what they believe is a hoax?
ikr like people are hating on me at school because I say god is fake because we were created by heat and gas and humans were made by the tempreture and that like I have the things I believe in and they have there's and please if anyone of you people who believe in god please do NOT say go to hell I have head it before
Because what religious believers claim is demonstrably false, and they're spreading lies, so they have to be criticised. People often say religions are OK as long as the followers don't try to force it down everyone's throats, but all religious people spend most of their time doing just that, so someone has to stand up against them. Religious folk are right now hacking the heads off people in Iraq and Syria, so don't think for a second that religion is somehow harmless.
if anyone could provide any evidence that their religion was real, then I wouldn't care, but there is no proof, and people beliefs lead them to kill others. that's why I have a problem with it
astrophonix
Nobody should be criticized! That's like saying what gay people do is demonstrably not natural therefore they should be criticized (not that I believe that). Also the fact that what gay people choose to do is not a negative thing is shoved down everyone's throats every day. There are tons of other examples of this everywhere, so don't single out religion, they're all the same thing. Also religion is a massive part of what makes up our cultural differences and our culture as a whole. The diversity of the world is amazing and I think we should all appreciate it.
Hannah WhoLock i agree. everyone should believe what they want. We live on a free world and no one should die for what they believe.
#1 Religions.
Wow, that’s the most offensive comment I’ve ever seen
pff missing link between humans and apes ?!?! are you kidding ... the link isn`t missing at all
Well it was missing once. There were far fewer fossils discovered back then.
LatiasDita
There was never a "missing link". The "missing link" was based on the belief that humans descended from apes, and as such we had to find a fossil that would be the transition from apes to humans. We since understand that humans and apes descend from a common ancestor, not from one another, and we are no more looking for a "missing link".
Top 1 : Humans love each other
2nd: Internet is secure
3rd: Fossil fuel is unlimited
"Milli Vanilli can sing"
I can't be the only one who laughed about that.
I remember Ballon boy. I knew it was a bunch of bull shit during their first tv interview (basically a day or two later). The kid that was supposedly in the Ballon basically snitched on the whole family when he said, "I saw daddy run into the house and call the police then the news people."
Came from Shane Dawson. Anybody else?
sammmmmeeeee
no
What's with all these anti religious comments you guys know it's as bad as being racist or sexist
yeah in the 60s this is the 2000s
***** Disagreeing with someones lifestyle is not hate. While I agree that groups like Westboro Baptist, which aren't actually religious as they refuse the teachings of Jesus Christ, are hateful, not all are. In fact, the majority are not. But, because you don't agree with our disagreeing with that lifestyle you propose that we are horrible, and garbage and worthless human beings. But if anyone agrees with you, they are just saintly.
Look I don't think people should treat religious people like shit but come on, you can't argue against a person's sex or race but you can argue their beliefs. I'm not religious myself but I also don't agree in how people are talking to those who are. But, as I said, you cannot compare it to sex or race which are biological whereas religion is a belief.
colonel coover No, it's not as bad. A racist hates people of different races. A homophobe hates people that are homosexuals. A sexist hates people of a certain sex. They all hate PEOPLE.
These anti-religious comments are directed at religion, not religious people. Are people who disagree with or hate communism as bad as racists? What about people who hate racism?
***** why
I'm not sure the War of the Worlds broadcast can be described as a hoax. They clearly told people it was a radio play before the broadcast began.
Anyone tuning in late to the broadcast should have realized it was a radio play. It was the time Orson Welles and his troupe were supposed to be on and anyone tuning in late should have recognized his very distinct voice.
I'm surprised the 2012 doomsday hoax isn't on this list. A lot of people believed in that as die-hard believers. My friend was one of them and when the day after the supposed end of the world came and everything was fine, I just told him "I told you so"
When the Bible said there was giants it was talking about dinosaurs.
No it wasn't.
Dror Bazer have you read a Bible God made the earth and then made humans right after that
Sour Lein Nah man you are wrong, the Giant Spaghetti Monster created the universe, God is just the spaghetti monster's puppy...
Dror Bazer Oh,thank you for clearing that up for me.
Sour Lein You're welcome :)
Jesus the Christ is the most incredible!! Ps. Please no comments about to prove it because this one needs no proving!!! Come on!!!
Billions still believe the hoax of Christ... suckers.
what point has a religion that has no godly interventions?
and yes i am referring to ALL religions and cults
InvisiMan2006 Funny how you believe this life is all you've got, and you spend it online making fun of people who believe differently than you. Well maybe it isn't so much funny as it is sad.
FingerAthLEET Correction, making fun of people who believe in transparent lies that detriment scientific progress and civil liberties.
FingerAthLEET don't get pulled in.
americans.
Ok?
I can confirm, as one, they are definitely not a hoax.
but the creators.
Xirpzy And exactly why do you think that? Because of your countries propaganda?
from outside americans have always been stupid fat asses. im not being racist (just look in the countrys arcives) just saying, no one likes americans except themself. Do you even know what propaganda is?
We learned about #5 in my anthropology class this week!
How can you forget, The Society for Indecency to Naked Animals, by Alan Abel and Buck Henry? Remember, "Decency today means morality tomorrow," and "A nude horse is a rude horse."
I may gets some hate from this maybe but
Big foot I don't think he is real
megalodon is real
megalodon is love
megalodon is life
2008 financial crisis
WatchMojo is way better than Alltime10s with both the quality and quantity of research material and presentation even if its 480p.
Especially now that Alltime has gone into the conspiracy theory nut path.
How about the fake documentary about mermaids?.
Discovery Channel had done similar things with dragons and the end of the world, but in that case made it look too serious and realistic.
