The whole "musicians being replaced after dying" is so stupid because record labels are well aware that a dead artist is way more profitable than a living one
@@mohnjarx7801 Only if said artist is still relevant. For as long as they remain popular in mainstream entertainment touring is more profitable, but as soon as interest starts dropping off they become more valuable dead than alive.
Plus I don’t see how a record label of all things would be able to cover something that big not like they’re a government agency with the resources to do it lol
From my understanding, the Mayan calendar did legitimately end in 2012. The hoax part was just people thinking the Mayans could see the future and that meant the world was going to end. When they really just had no need for a calendar that goes on for many centuries.
From what I've read and can remember: The mayan calendar wasn't predicting the end of the world. It was marking the age of Aquarius. It was the end/beginning of a roughly 26,000 year cycle (maybe 24,000 year cycle, I forget) and the start of a time of enlightenment
“The Maya who developed the Long Count calendar believed the end of one cycle would simply signal the beginning of another. According to this logic, a new Grand Cycle would start on December 22, 2012. However, some people in the U.S. and Europe came to believe that the calendar would not reset itself. Instead, they said, the end of the cycle would bring the end of the world.” -history So basically, they had cycles in their calendar, and people combined that date with “doomsayers claimed that there was a scientific explanation for their prediction: On December 21, they said, the winter solstice and the Milky Way’s equator would align.” Those kinds of things and called it doomsday
@SpaceBoy idk if it has to do with the Mayan calendar since I didn’t feel like reading that far, but here’s this. Basically how the zodiac century thing works- “The approximate 2,160 years for each age corresponds to the average time it takes for the vernal equinox to move from one constellation of the zodiac into the next. This average can be computed by dividing the earth's 25,800 year gyroscopic precession period by 12, the number of zodiacal signs. This is only a rough calculation, as the length of time it takes for a complete precession is currently increasing” The Aquarius zodiac thing- “Astrologers do not agree on when the Aquarian age will start or even if it has already started.[3] Campion (1999)[2] lists various references from mainly astrological sources for the start of the Age of Aquarius. Based on Campion's summary, most published materials on the subject state that the Age of Aquarius arrived in the 20th century (29 claims), with the 24th century in second place with 12 claimants.[4]”
Not so fun fact: The 2016's Clown Sightings had a twist in Brazil; a lot of muggers used this "craze" to their advantage, they dressed up as clowns to rob people. You never knew if one was going to pull some funny joke or a gun on you, it was pretty much a clown roulette.
@@theinbunch1380 I think you are right on that. I heard it was actually ten times scarier because people used the craze to actually hurt other people which in turn stirred up the whole "killer clown" thing into a more realistic setting.
"That man" hoax was actually a huge success for the guy that made it, it showed future employers/contractors that he can easily make viral marketing ploys xD
Actually it wasn't a hoax, just that the movie it was supposed to advertise was just canceled before it was complete, I heard because it ran out of money during production.
aaaa hey, creator of the iceberg here!! thank you so much for covering it!!! i understand why you didnt want to cover everything, but what you did go over made me happy! you did a great job with research and going over everything, its so surreal to hear my iceberg on a major horror channel, lol. again, thank you!!! hope you have a fantastic halloween!!!

Adriel. Thank you for all your hard work. This has allowed me to really enjoy this knowing which ones to avoid ( certain stuff really distresses me fake or not) I truly appreciate this 🤗
Funny thing regarding This Man: even after hearing about him for years and years, I’ve never once actually seen him in my dreams. At least as far as I can recall.
Lol i remember when i first heard about him, i would just try my damn hardest to not think about him while going to sleep just so i wouldn't see him in my dreams lol
@@Emma_The_H0ppin_H00ligan lol I actually tried so hard to dream about him, like before I slept I always think about his face but he just wouldn't show up in my dreams
The Man/This Man always strikes me with unexplainable anxiety and discomfort. No matter how many times I see his face, I just can't be desensitized and I hate it.
One time i was at a theme park and i saw a guy a few feet away from me who looked a little like the picture he was nice though he was with a group of kids he may have been a scout leader and they looked like they had fun together i was a little freaked out but yeah when i see that picture i still feel spooked
I think my favorite fake celeb death response was when the kid who played Carl in The Walking Dead responded to an article saying he'd died by saying something like "Damn, I wish lol" Peak Gen Z right there.
Someone tweeted "I'm not religious but I believe Tim Curry is having a good time in the afterlife", and Tim Curry answered "I totally respect you're not religious, darling, as nor am I. If you could at least wait until I'm fucking dead though that'd be smashing."
The drop bears is fuckin' hilarious when you know that Koalas often just.. fall out if trees. They're so evolutionarily inept that instead of NOT falling ftom trees their smooth brain just has extra padding
One disturbing hoax that came to my mind while watching was a website about “bonsai kittens.” Essentially the idea was that they’d place kitten into a very small jar while it was still tiny, so that it would grow to fill the jar. There were also care instructions and whatnot. Three things gave it away as a hoax and not some sick real practice. One, no contact or purchasing info. Two, although there were a couple photos of kittens pressed against glass, they were extreme closeups and could have just as easily been photos of a kitten in an open jar. And three: no way would an animal survive this kind of treatment, despite the website’s claims that they could live for years like that. Obviously a hoax, but still very disturbing.
the way i remembered the whole clown thing was that the sightings started dying down after someone dressed up as batman and started chasing their local roaming clown. i just assumed they figured the jig was up, what with their natural predator coming in
I thought it was because some of them started carrying weapons. And dressing up as a clown, with a weapon, and harassing people at night might be a fun time in yankeeland. But in the south, it gets you shot. I know my state had 2 or 3 clown-related shootings and I heard about a few more in other states. After that, it seems like people got the message.
i always wondered why i’ve never seen “the man” in my dreams, i always thought i was just being left out but then i found out it was a hoax and it all made sense
Unironically, after i first saw "that man" I dreamt about seeing the poster, turned to walk away, and he was right there, and In a really deep voice, he said "Have you heard of raid shadow legends?"
I feel that "this man" was simply the creator creating a resume for himself, what better way to market yourself than create an urban legend, dude is absolutely insane and if he isn't in marketing he definitely should be.
Exactly. Imagine if you needed to advertise something and one of the options to hire for the project was billed as "the creator of This Man." That kind of thing is going to be a foot in the door for him in his industry, for the rest of his career.
Fun fact about the drop bear: There used to be an ancient species of marsupial called the Thylacaleo, that lived in Australia that was similar to a big cat in adaptations. Recent analysis of its body shows it was adapted to climbing, and likely jumped from trees to ambush its prey. Some people think the drop bear is a legend based off of stories that were passed on by the native Aboriginal people of Australia from the time they were alive. There are many tribes in Australia that have oral histories passed on from generation to generation, some which talk about things that happened long ago in prehistoric times, like islands that were connected to the mainland thousands of years ago during the Ice Age, when the sea levels were lower. Some people think the drop bear originates from native myths, which were based on the Thylacaleo, and that these stories survived until modern times.
Archival footage of the last living Thylacine is just not something i ever want to see again. Tassie Tiger....gone! Lets not let that happen to Tassie Devils. C'mon Warner Bros! You got a loony tunes character. How about some cash for the facial tumour fight. For their survival? Great pr. Win. Win.😉
@@akala-bluesaville9866 The Thylacaleo is actually different from the Thylacine, it is called the Marsupial Lion, but the Tasmanian Tiger is different. But speaking of Thylacines, there is a video from mainland Australia from 1970, which is like 40 years after they went extinct, showing what looks like a Thylacine running, you can even see faint stripes. What's crazy is supposedly the Thylacine went extinct in mainland Australia thousands of years ago and only survived in Tasmania, so if it was a Thylacine it would be crazy how one survived undetected thousands of years. There is also stories of Thylacines in Papua New Guinea.
I actually remember a variation of the Falling Body Photo story. The story I came across was that it was an actual burnt body that fell from the ceiling while the photo was taken, and not a spirit. Arguably more believable than a ghost story.
Yeah that's the version I heard. I remember their son or something? He was upstairs during the family dinner and the floor broke just as the picture was being taken. I'm guessing more people took the photo after the first fake story was made and posted it elsewhere with their own. Quite common with these haunted photos tbh
The fact that "Hi Walter" got wrapped up into a still ongoing missing person's case, enough that her mother believed it, is just... Profoundly disturbing, beyond words.
obviously the real victims are still the missing person and her mother, but I also feel bad for the creators of the video because to me it’s clear they had no intention of tricking people and it was just an unfortunate coincidence
Imo shit like that is why I think it’s pretty cringe and eye-roll worthy to make super realistic violence/kidnapping towards women just for shock value.
@@justanotherhtffan As long as it’s a consensual thing between actors, it’s whatever, I just wished they actually came forward and stated it’s more of a fetish thing (which it is. The violence bit even has a term for it in Japanese 18+, which is “Ryona”).
What I find atrocious about the replacement theory on Avril Lavigne is that she did in fact almost die via major complications from her lupus diagnosis. Her song "head above water" speaks about that experience. People change over time. Their skin hair nails bone structure body type and style change as they grow. Avril was always girlie, just pop-punk-girlie. She wore a ton of pink, makeup, jewelry, skirts dresses and whatnot. She evolved as she aged.
Between that, her grandfather’s death, and the undiagnosed lyme disease it’s always bothered me how people have claimed even her behavior changed. Like yeah, life will do that…
People's appearances can change a lot due to medical trauma/events/diagnoses as well. A few years ago, I contracted endocarditis which made a lot of my hair fall out. As I was recovering, it grew back a lot currier than before and light brown instead of my previously natural auburn. My skin tone even seemed to change, I'm not as pale as I was before. For a while, I didn't recognize myself. And if she'd been through a lot of stuff, I'm not surprised that that have an effect on her physical appearance.
People also forget she has a ton of money to afford Surgery or mold removal 🤷♀️ it's not unheard of to do that or use a lot of makeup to cover it up. Celebs can afford way more cosmetic procedures than the normal person can
The scariest fact is that these red rooms may not exist but there's youtube channels with million sof views where people put dogs and othert animals in dangerous sitations, even crush their bones under the tyres and pretend to rescue them..
yeah, that's gotta be the youtube scandal that angers me the most. i actually got recommended a video the other day where a man "rescues" some conveniently 6-week-old puppies who were conveniently "dumped" outside of his rescue center, with the puppies happily running up to him as he approached them, as if he'd already been aquainted with them... and while i have no way to prove it was fake, ive just had so many bad experiences with rescue channels being money-hungry animal abusers that i can't trust these kinds of videos anymore. all the comments were in all different languages, praising the man and god and jesus and whoever else... but it just felt wrong to me. even thinking about it makes me sick.
@@kaninekodiakYeah, Nick crowley made a couple of videos on some of those channels but I doubt it lead anywhere, sadly. RUclips would rather rather punish channels, making it so people can't even cover news about pedophiles, but they will continue to pay to channels that physically and emotionally bully animals on a daily basis
@@Minkses I've found that unless it is "local" and one of the media approved things to be "outraged" about very few care. The more I learn about "humanity" the more I am convinced that we are deranged mostly hairless apes.
Didn't it start with that one black and white clown named Guts or something? It was viral marketing for a movie about the character, he just kinda showed up and people took after him. edit: Gags. it was gags the clown
I saw the film/show as barnum's ultimate show. How he would have told it. So it didn't bother me that it was wildly inaccurate. I mean of course it would be!. Plus great tunes!!!
“The world was supposed to end in 2012. This one was obviously a hoax because.. well. Take a deep breath, did it feel good? Of course it did, you’re still alive pal” LOVE THIS!
Yeah, the whole thing was silly. It was just the end of that existing calendar, and they surely thought they would have time to calculate the next one in the few hundred years before it ran out. I mean, does the world end every December 31st when you run out of days on your wall calendar?
@@jwolfe1209 No, but that's only because the next year's calendars have already been made. If it reached midnight on December 31 and no calendars for the next year have been printed, the world would definitely stop existing 😎
I just want to say u really helped me and might not have meant to. I have ptsd which leads me to dissociate from reality a lot of the time. When you instructed the audience to breathe deeply, and then said “did it feel good? Of course it did- you’re still alive pal” that really helped me feel grounded and safe. I want to thank you so much for the respect you show the people involved in the cases you discuss but also how kind and gentle you are with your audience. I hope u know that something small like that can really mean a lot to someone. Thanks for always bein here lazy ❤️
Hold on. "She got the finger from her friend who lost it in an industrial accident" I'm sorry? Is that normal? Do people give lost digits to their friends? That's honestly the most unhinged part of the whole Wendy's chili finger thing.
I was thinking the same thing. But thought maybe they couldn't reattach the finger so asked if the coworker wanted to keep it at the hospital. But my issue is how do you bring up "hey I need a human body part to rip off Wendy's anyone have any human organs or body parts they could give me?" And also was thinking if she bought the chili days before and cooked the finger in it instead they may have gotten away with it. Really weird all around when you think about 🤣
Fun fact: if you go to the official Australian government website they have a page on drop bears and 'safety tips' to protect yourself from them, we are that committed to a joke
Fact: they are less likely to attack humans with Australian accents. Scientists also believe that byproducts of Vegemite that can be found in a human’s sweat act as a repellent.
We can’t just let tourists walk on in and not let them know about drop bears?! There would be an international scandal if we didn’t have a page with safety tips.
After the few weeks i've been having, the whole "Take a deep breath. Did it feel good? You're still alive pal." almost made me tear up. Thank you for that, even if it was as a joke to disprove the apocalypse. I needed it. 🥰🥰
@@BettiePagan WOW me too! Sadly this October has been the worst month Ive had in a very long time, anything awful that could happen has, and got progressively worse! Happily today is Halloween and so far its been a decent day! We are alive, i guess it is true, that which doesnt kill you only makes you stronger! Because things can always get worse much much worse. I am grateful they haven’t! Love this Channel!
@@SJETT10 that’s so strange, me too!!! What the heck is going on?! My car broke down, my chronic pain has been so bad, its like one thing after another. Guys, you’re not alone, we’ll get through it and there are always people willing to help. It WILL get better, just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Step forward. Look up the song “Step Forward” by Cloud Cult. It’ll really help give you some strength, I promise you.
i remember hearing about "the man" when i was 11, and the images of him haunted me. like whenever i saw them, i would immediately panic. i'd forget about it, then i'd randomly think about it and then i wouldn't be okay for at least a few hours. several years later, i'm okay now. i still don't enjoy looking at the pictures, but i don't feel the same panic that i used to
Dude, that 'Hi Walter' hoax was just sad, I feel bad for all the people involved in that. Just a neat short horror film that unfortunately resembled a missing person's case. And that poor mother, too. Gosh, just a bad situation all around.
"neat video"? How is it neat? It is dumb, unfunny (not because it's sick or anything, just not funny) and has zero point Those people that say "oh, it's an art project" are either losers, people with too much time on their hands, or Actually disturbed individuals trying to hide behind the generic "art project"
the zombie announcement made me think of that whole period where people were obsessed with zombies. to the point where there were books, merch, even food centered on zombies and every kid i knew wanted to be a zombie something for halloween it was crazy. i still have the "how to survive a zombie apocolypse" book that was sold everywhere.
@@dr.coomer789 im not sure if your memory works if you think it was that long ago. Id say it was mid-late 00s all the way until about 2015 or so. Every video game had zombies in some form.
Just a thing I noticed. At 37:03, the wing vein patterns in the 'fairy wings' are very similar to bee wings, more specifically the Apis family, which includes honeybees. The submarginal cells are very expertly crafted, and have a serious eye for detail. I look at bees under microscopes and this pattern is so lifelike it's crazy to think it's manmade.
also, why the fuck would you fire someone for that? like he lied about finding bigfoot, its not that big of a deal. maybe the chief of police was a die hard bigfoot fan and got pissed off about the fake
Its because police defend the law and property, not people. They are not our friends and never have been. Cops are the successors of slave-catchers. On the other hand, being credible and intimidating, not hilarious, is important to their image.
They're on paid leave during an investigation because they're innocent until proven guilty. If they take their pay away during the investigation and it turns out they're innocent then one could sue for them taking away his pay in the meantime i would imagine
This video would have cured my paranoia and anxiety as a young teen who was too damn curious about the darker parts of the internet. Some of these stories really frightened me back in the day
I heard about the poisoned halloween candy case. The father was so broke and desperate that he was willing to kill his own kid for money. He got life insurance on his son and gave him candy laced with enough cyanide to kill adults. He wasn't caught immediately. Tried to make up a lie about a shady neighbor who probably gave his son the candy but the cops caught on eventually.
There’s a genre/art movement referred to as “unfiction”, which encompasses mockumentary films, found footage films, ARGs, and others. It’s a popular category for amateur filmmakers, because it can be done on a low budget.
More like the 'disturbing nostalgia trip iceberg' ...god, I remember hearing about a lot of these as a kid and being so fascinated. Sure I'm a few days late, but I'm so glad I sat down and watched this. Awesome work as always Lazy!
With the clown thing, I will say on Halloween 2016 my sister and I were chased by clowns who we thought we holding knives. My dad ended up chasing them down and found out they were some douchey rich college kids going after people that night. I was probably 14 around the time and it honestly freaked me out.
I don't remember if this was in 2016, but it probably was: one year, we had a guy in a clown costume show up to our outdoor Halloween party. He was probably trying to freak us out but he just kind of awkwardly lurked around until we were like: "Okay, bye then."
The whole thing started as part of a marketing campaign for the remake of the IT movie and obviously some douchebags thought its funny to scare the shit out of people by imitating it. Are you too young to remember or why does it seem to be memory holed by so many?
Why did the Donor Show one actually bring me to tears 😭 The fact it moved that many people to become organ donors is such an unexpectedly great outcome. Best hoax...
Any reasonable man could tell the guy knows how to market something, but I bet my ass he didnt get a job for it because they kept asking him "BuT yUo DiDnT sElL AnYtHiNg, WhErEs ThE MeTrIcS"
@@arforafro5523 On the contrary, I remember a story on twitter about a meme account ("down bad tweets" or someth) that got VERY popular, and subsequently turned out to be a project for an aspiring social media marketing team. The success of the account was posted on their website as an example of their prowess.
For those who are wondering about Kayla Bergs case, (Hi Walter! I got a new girlfriend.) She's still classified as missing, no body has ever been found and the case is cold. She was 15 (went missing 2 weeks before her 16th birthday) and the possibility of her being a run away has been ruled out, but no solid evidence of foul play has been found. Please go look at her aged up photo as she would be 26 years old now.
Yo, "This Man" always scared the crap outta me since first hearing about it in your channel, it's crazy how it's come full circle here after a few years 0_0 *chills*
I discovered "This Man" after it had been debunked. I thought it was very funny. I think it would be a great premise for a comic movie. Maybe Jim Carrey could play This Man. He wouldn't understand why people kept freaking out every time they saw his face, and then he'd learn his former therapist (Tina Fey, maybe) is to blame.
I remember the clown craze. There were a few incidents around our neighbourhood in Australia including one guy running around the streets with an axe. It sorted itself out when a bunch of dads started cruising around "clown bashing". Sighting stopped pretty quick after that.
Happy Halloween! An "Iceberg" is a way of ordering information, with the more well known items appearing near the top, and the more obscure (and dark) entries occupying the bottom layers.
Mayans never made that claim. Their calendar simply restarted that year. Also most news places posted an Aztec stone as the “Mayan calendar”, wrong all around.
Interesting, I had always heard that "drop bear" was a nickname given to koalas because alot of the wild ones have chlamydia and are known to fall from trees and if they were to land on you, you'd run a high risk of catching it from getting clawed
In the 1970s It was a standard joke among hikers that after the first few miles an invisible "drop bear" might land on top of your pack, that's why it seemed to get heavier as you went along. I don't know when the horror/violence elements got into the story.
7:28 holy crap I met Dave Dave as a kid!? I was born with some facial disfiguration that took 18 years of surgeries to correct, and I was like 8-12 when I was put in a room with him. My mom somehow knew him & asked him to “relate with me & help me understand life ain’t too bad” but I remember he had little patches of hair tied with colorful rubber bands, and I SWEAR TO GOD he was a greeter at our Walmart for a while so how the hell was he this Vegas artist guy who knew Michael Jackson? And I met him randomly when I was a kid I confirmed with my mom the guy I met for that pep talk was in fact Dave Dave
I was eating a chocolate mousse when the Jenkem story came up, now I don't eat chocolate mousse no more.....thanks Lazy Masquerade !! ( interesting iceberg though ! ) 👍👍
I was eating Meddy's and ALMOST lost my appetite completely. Meddy's is so damn delicious tho that I recovered fairly quickly. That being said....holy FUCK STICK that was so beyond the point of disgusting!
The Clown Sightings of 2016 is probably my favorite hoax of all time because it's one of those crazy stories you'd probably hear about the 19th or 18th century, or earlier, such as the meowing nuns or people dancing themselves to death. I can't wait to tell my grandchildren about the Clown Sightings of 2016 (even if I barely remember them myself)
The sucky thing about it is that it very much affected the professional clown industry in a negative way. Didn't matter if they were birthday clowns or clowns who worked at haunts, there were places where people would hunt down even clowns had nothing to do with the hoaxes. It was pretty bad for them for awhile.
It wasn't really a hoax since a lot of clown sightings were real, though it was sometimes exaggerated. Definitely a crazy time, but I'm glad I can later tell my children about it.
I had a lot of fond childhood memories because my school even sent emails to the kid’s parents warning them about it. At school we’d all be so scared and talk about the clowns and what we’ve heard, and rumors etc. it was very fun looking back now haha
My grandfather was one of Elvis' bodyguards. I asked him what he thought about the Elvis lives theory. He just got real sad and said "I wish he was". To you, a singer may be an icon. But to those close to them, they were friends, brothers, etc.
thats so cool and i bet it’s super weird when celebs wake up to articles saying they died. i bet it’s kinda creepy like “do they know something i don’t?” lol
Man, Halloween is such a great day for us fans of spooky / crime / unusual subjects. We are getting so many AMAZING videos out today. And this one looks quality as usual, Lazy!
I remember the Great Organ Donor Show, the public outrage was MASSIVE. As my grandma said at the time: “Sad how many people believe it’s real since organ trade’s so illegal.”
i remember my grandpa telling me he liked to eat peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. Now I'm wondering if he was serious, just making a gross sounding combo to weird me out, was making an actual joke from the 60's, or was trying to tell me he liked to do drugs.
I used to go to that Wendy's in San Jose when I lived there years ago. Weird how people fell for this. The way they make chili disintegrates the meat, so even were a stray finger to make its way in, it would scarcely be recognizable as a finger.
I used to catch the bus right next to that Wendy's so ate I there regularly. Whenever anyone I know talks about that Wendy's location they still refer to as the "Finger Wendy's" or something similar. They just remodeled it, earlier this year.
I love the Peanut Butter and Mayo one, because it's such a perfect example of people giving into fear-mongering without thinking first. How, exactly, are you supposed to *inject* peanut butter?
"What the hell was he advertising?" Actually, fun fact, apparently it was publicity for this movie that was never actually made. At least that's what I remember. I do remember, though, that This Man himself was supposed to be the protagonist. Also I just want to say, This Man is an excellent uncanny face. It still kinda freaks me out to this day. Even just the words "Have you seen this man?" Are enough to get me vividly picturing it. A true classic.
Its very strange hearing that the man creeps people out, like, its not even meant to be creepy, its just a phillipino lookin guy, ive never understood it
@@scrithen2836 nah fr I was thinking this exact same thing. Maybe the variants of the original are unnerving, but the original is just... standard? Like he just looks like a dude lol
I know of real videos and real methods of animals getting CO2 gassed, getting force fed through tubes shoved down their throats, nail gunned in their heads, baby animals grinded alive and even some type of bestiality. Its called the meat, egg and diary industry. Go vegan.
That "take a deep breath. Did it feel food? Of course it did, you're still alive pal" made me very happy because that breath did, in fact, feel very nice
I really like that you just use your normal voice these videos are very well made, idk why but other creators make it hard to listen along when they change their voice to make it sound more spooky. Your videos are very easy to listen to, keep up the great work man!
I remembered the "falling body photobomb" photo having a story more along the lines of "a body fell from this family's ceiling right as the photo was taken" rather than the body being there after being developed. This entire iceberg was a nice trip through memory lane for me c: thanks for doing what u do!
The case of the clown sighting in Green Bay, Wisconsin was actually tied to a short film project by a couple guys I knew who also helped run a community theater in Oshkosh, Wi. They ended up incorporating the "Clown Panic" into the story and turning it into the feature length film "Gags the Clown" in 2018 that I believe is available to stream on Prime these days. Its a horror/comedy shot with some POV & found footage style shots. I'd recommend it.
Well, Lazy. I’ve been sober for over 20 years (not a recovering addict, just haven’t done any substances since high school), but these on-screen visuals you got going on, have me mesmerized and tripping balls. Those coloured inks dropped into water are frickin amazing. A+
“Paul is really dead The last testament of George Harrison”is worth a watch just to see how well thought out the hoax was and incredible amount of details that went into it.
I feel like This Man became a self fulfilling prophecy. I know a good few people who do now occasionally dream of him thanks to the slightly uncanny look of the drawing
Agreed. It's like a myth that became real. I would also say that a much smaller version of this happened with Slenderman too, as it went from being a deliberate creation to somewhat of an urban myth to people who hadn't looked too far into it and making them feel legitimately paranoid.
Especially if you believe that the brain cannot generate new faces during dreams. Once the picture was everywhere, it was inevitable that someone's subconscious would vomit it back out during a dream.

I'm sorry but the CERN spoof is absolutely brilliant and hilarious. Absolute top-notch humour from those scientists. It's the exact perfect thing to rile up conspiracy theorists and I'd kill to be a part of a hoax like that.
Stupid thing is people still think it's real. Some of the theories go into insane directions too: at least the idea they _could_ create a miniature black hole or an accidental nuclear explosion makes some degree of sense even if it's not really a concern to people who know science, but there's other theories that they're making a gateway to other dimensions, that they're opening portals into hell, that they're building a gateway for aliens to visit earth...
@@alexbenavidez4500 I think that's the issue though. Insanely delusional people still have voting rights and/or access to guns. It's very easy to just come out and say "hey, it was me. this is how I did it".

I didn't pay attention of how long the video is,I thought its 28-30something minutes like lazy always does,when I saw its an hour and almost 20 min I literally screamed.we are not worthy of lazy
13:04 As soon as I heard you say that "This Man" had a manga, I instantly went to go read it. It has 43 chapters, however only 30 are translated in English. It is fully translated in Russian and I THINK French as well, but from the 30 chapters I read, it's surprisingly good! It's a suspense/mystery/thirller and although can be kind of predictable, it's still an enjoyable read. Would highly recommend it, if someone picks up the translation and finishes the last 13 chapters.
Don't even bother, the beginning is tricky and really makes you think it might be a worthy reading, but it's not. I read it a few months ago and was extremely disappointed and upset. Plot lines lead nowhere, ideas introduced by the mangaka early on just vanish with no resolution, characters are stupidly predictable (as is the story, I'm not even mentioning the fact that nothing makes sense in it after the first half) and the romance is just... just trash, it's been a while since I saw such a poorly written romance in fiction. Again, don't bother with it if you don't like wasting your time.
This is one of my absolute favourite videos of yours and I often put it on for company as I do chores around the house. Such a wonderful voice and I love the details and presentation. 🎉🎉
That list of fake lost media ideas was pretty funny. My favorite was the last one on the list : 1979 Jimmy Carter meltdown video (AKA FunkyGate) I'd love to hear the backstory for that one
Actually, the clown one wasn’t a hoax. At least, if it was, it inspired some people. We had an issue with people dressed as clowns chasing students on my college campus 😅
My favorite part of the Polybius hoax (and I genuinely do like it) is the idea of CIA showing up at a dingy arcade in dress wear… “Hey agent Hopkins, should we get more Polybius data?” “Sure agent Irving, and let’s look as obvious as fucking possible while doing it” “10-4, partner”
I dont think you realize just how ubiquitous suits were in the 80s. Mister Roger's was exactly like all of us older millenial/gen X's parents and grandparents unless you were blue collar. My own grandpa worked management in a factory and I still remember the ritual of taking off the blazer and tie and putting on a cardigan and loafers. If you were a man over 30 and not in a uniform you were suspicious especially if you were acting like a person in charge. The freaking managers at pizza hut wore suits.

As an Aussie, I would like to inform you drop bears are actually real. My mate bazza got torn in half by one and the whole idea that they are a hoax is indeed a hoax. Hoaxception
Yep, the adult male drop bear is far and away the most dangerous animal on Earth (besides humans). The whole "hoax" thing is a direct result of the fact that nobody has ever survived a drop bear attack, thus anyone who has seen one is no longer around to confirm their existence.
The people that think Elvis faked his death need to watch the video of his last performance. The man looked like he was gonna pass out from singing a drawn out note.
The whole "musicians being replaced after dying" is so stupid because record labels are well aware that a dead artist is way more profitable than a living one
In the short term maybe. But touring is way more profitable, right?
@@mohnjarx7801 Only if said artist is still relevant. For as long as they remain popular in mainstream entertainment touring is more profitable, but as soon as interest starts dropping off they become more valuable dead than alive.
That's depressing.
Plus I don’t see how a record label of all things would be able to cover something that big not like they’re a government agency with the resources to do it lol
I never thought of that!
From my understanding, the Mayan calendar did legitimately end in 2012. The hoax part was just people thinking the Mayans could see the future and that meant the world was going to end. When they really just had no need for a calendar that goes on for many centuries.
From what I've read and can remember:
The mayan calendar wasn't predicting the end of the world. It was marking the age of Aquarius. It was the end/beginning of a roughly 26,000 year cycle (maybe 24,000 year cycle, I forget) and the start of a time of enlightenment
I've heard that the calendar wasn't even ending in 2012, the entire thing was based on a miscalculation.
“The Maya who developed the Long Count calendar believed the end of one cycle would simply signal the beginning of another. According to this logic, a new Grand Cycle would start on December 22, 2012. However, some people in the U.S. and Europe came to believe that the calendar would not reset itself. Instead, they said, the end of the cycle would bring the end of the world.” -history
So basically, they had cycles in their calendar, and people combined that date with “doomsayers claimed that there was a scientific explanation for their prediction: On December 21, they said, the winter solstice and the Milky Way’s equator would align.” Those kinds of things and called it doomsday
@SpaceBoy idk if it has to do with the Mayan calendar since I didn’t feel like reading that far, but here’s this.
Basically how the zodiac century thing works-
“The approximate 2,160 years for each age corresponds to the average time it takes for the vernal equinox to move from one constellation of the zodiac into the next. This average can be computed by dividing the earth's 25,800 year gyroscopic precession period by 12, the number of zodiacal signs. This is only a rough calculation, as the length of time it takes for a complete precession is currently increasing”
The Aquarius zodiac thing-
“Astrologers do not agree on when the Aquarian age will start or even if it has already started.[3] Campion (1999)[2] lists various references from mainly astrological sources for the start of the Age of Aquarius. Based on Campion's summary, most published materials on the subject state that the Age of Aquarius arrived in the 20th century (29 claims), with the 24th century in second place with 12 claimants.[4]”
What do I do when my calendar runs out? I get a new calendar. Mayans just kinda disappeared so they haven't put out the new one.
Not so fun fact:
The 2016's Clown Sightings had a twist in Brazil; a lot of muggers used this "craze" to their advantage, they dressed up as clowns to rob people. You never knew if one was going to pull some funny joke or a gun on you, it was pretty much a clown roulette.
Yeah. If I recall correctly, the clown thing was way bigger in South America.
@@theinbunch1380 I think you are right on that. I heard it was actually ten times scarier because people used the craze to actually hurt other people which in turn stirred up the whole "killer clown" thing into a more realistic setting.

Funny thing regarding This Man: even after hearing about him for years and years, I’ve never once actually seen him in my dreams. At least as far as I can recall.
Dude literally restarted my heartbeat. When I searched up an iceberg this fucker was the first result and that was like a nightmare type jumpscare .

Same. Never felt like I'd had a dream of him tho thankfully. I feel like that coupled with the unnerving feeling would be heart attack inducing.

One disturbing hoax that came to my mind while watching was a website about “bonsai kittens.” Essentially the idea was that they’d place kitten into a very small jar while it was still tiny, so that it would grow to fill the jar. There were also care instructions and whatnot.
Three things gave it away as a hoax and not some sick real practice. One, no contact or purchasing info. Two, although there were a couple photos of kittens pressed against glass, they were extreme closeups and could have just as easily been photos of a kitten in an open jar. And three: no way would an animal survive this kind of treatment, despite the website’s claims that they could live for years like that.
Obviously a hoax, but still very disturbing.
Jesus Christ I hope that’s fake
Omg I remember hearing about this as a young child
Whang! did a video on this
@@sabrinatscha2554 it is fake. The aspca got a gazillion calls about it tho bc lots of people were horrified!!
Obviously fake looking at it now, but hooboy did I think it was real back then when I was, like, 13 years old and was horrified by it.
the way i remembered the whole clown thing was that the sightings started dying down after someone dressed up as batman and started chasing their local roaming clown. i just assumed they figured the jig was up, what with their natural predator coming in
When someone dresses up as Robin and joins Batman in chasing the clowns down, you know the butt hash has really hit the fan.
Golly gee keepers, Batman!
Honestly, that’s the real Dark Knight right there.
You really expect me to believe that the clowns didn't get together and concoct a plan to KiLl ThE bAtMaN??
I thought it was because some of them started carrying weapons. And dressing up as a clown, with a weapon, and harassing people at night might be a fun time in yankeeland. But in the south, it gets you shot. I know my state had 2 or 3 clown-related shootings and I heard about a few more in other states. After that, it seems like people got the message.

Exactly. Imagine if you needed to advertise something and one of the options to hire for the project was billed as "the creator of This Man." That kind of thing is going to be a foot in the door for him in his industry, for the rest of his career.

Fun fact about the drop bear: There used to be an ancient species of marsupial called the Thylacaleo, that lived in Australia that was similar to a big cat in adaptations. Recent analysis of its body shows it was adapted to climbing, and likely jumped from trees to ambush its prey. Some people think the drop bear is a legend based off of stories that were passed on by the native Aboriginal people of Australia from the time they were alive. There are many tribes in Australia that have oral histories passed on from generation to generation, some which talk about things that happened long ago in prehistoric times, like islands that were connected to the mainland thousands of years ago during the Ice Age, when the sea levels were lower. Some people think the drop bear originates from native myths, which were based on the Thylacaleo, and that these stories survived until modern times.
Yeah. Then you have bunyip and yowie….myths and legends. ✌️🤠🪃
that's cool as fuck
Archival footage of the last living Thylacine is just not something i ever want to see again. Tassie Tiger....gone! Lets not let that happen to Tassie Devils. C'mon Warner Bros! You got a loony tunes character. How about some cash for the facial tumour fight. For their survival? Great pr. Win. Win.😉
@@akala-bluesaville9866 The Thylacaleo is actually different from the Thylacine, it is called the Marsupial Lion, but the Tasmanian Tiger is different. But speaking of Thylacines, there is a video from mainland Australia from 1970, which is like 40 years after they went extinct, showing what looks like a Thylacine running, you can even see faint stripes. What's crazy is supposedly the Thylacine went extinct in mainland Australia thousands of years ago and only survived in Tasmania, so if it was a Thylacine it would be crazy how one survived undetected thousands of years. There is also stories of Thylacines in Papua New Guinea.

I actually remember a variation of the Falling Body Photo story. The story I came across was that it was an actual burnt body that fell from the ceiling while the photo was taken, and not a spirit. Arguably more believable than a ghost story.
Yeah that's the version I heard. I remember their son or something? He was upstairs during the family dinner and the floor broke just as the picture was being taken.

What I find atrocious about the replacement theory on Avril Lavigne is that she did in fact almost die via major complications from her lupus diagnosis. Her song "head above water" speaks about that experience.
People change over time. Their skin hair nails bone structure body type and style change as they grow. Avril was always girlie, just pop-punk-girlie. She wore a ton of pink, makeup, jewelry, skirts dresses and whatnot. She evolved as she aged.
Between that, her grandfather’s death, and the undiagnosed lyme disease it’s always bothered me how people have claimed even her behavior changed. Like yeah, life will do that…
@@skye9471 Which is dumb, she was a teenager. Most people grow out of the edgy teenage phase and stop caring about presenting a certain way.
People's appearances can change a lot due to medical trauma/events/diagnoses as well. A few years ago, I contracted endocarditis which made a lot of my hair fall out. As I was recovering, it grew back a lot currier than before and light brown instead of my previously natural auburn. My skin tone even seemed to change, I'm not as pale as I was before. For a while, I didn't recognize myself.
And if she'd been through a lot of stuff, I'm not surprised that that have an effect on her physical appearance.
People also forget she has a ton of money to afford Surgery or mold removal 🤷♀️ it's not unheard of to do that or use a lot of makeup to cover it up. Celebs can afford way more cosmetic procedures than the normal person can

@@jwolfe1209 No, but that's only because the next year's calendars have already been made. If it reached midnight on December 31 and no calendars for the next year have been printed, the world would definitely stop existing 😎
I just want to say u really helped me and might not have meant to. I have ptsd which leads me to dissociate from reality a lot of the time. When you instructed the audience to breathe deeply, and then said “did it feel good? Of course it did- you’re still alive pal” that really helped me feel grounded and safe. I want to thank you so much for the respect you show the people involved in the cases you discuss but also how kind and gentle you are with your audience. I hope u know that something small like that can really mean a lot to someone. Thanks for always bein here lazy ❤️
Hold on. "She got the finger from her friend who lost it in an industrial accident" I'm sorry? Is that normal? Do people give lost digits to their friends? That's honestly the most unhinged part of the whole Wendy's chili finger thing.
Reminds me of this one Reddit guy who lost his finger through a wood saw and found it like a month later lol
I was thinking the same thing. But thought maybe they couldn't reattach the finger so asked if the coworker wanted to keep it at the hospital. But my issue is how do you bring up "hey I need a human body part to rip off Wendy's anyone have any human organs or body parts they could give me?" And also was thinking if she bought the chili days before and cooked the finger in it instead they may have gotten away with it. Really weird all around when you think about 🤣
@@luminvader8911 Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the "Scam Wendy's" idea came after the finger acquisition. Which really doesn't help.
@@DeepXBass ew gross 🤣 just a really weird thing to even think about
I see you haven't heard of that one guy on Reddit that lost his foot in an accident and decided to make tacos with it and eat them with his friends.
Fun fact: if you go to the official Australian government website they have a page on drop bears and 'safety tips' to protect yourself from them,
we are that committed to a joke
Honestly, the government worker that did that sounds like an awesome person.
Fact: they are less likely to attack humans with Australian accents. Scientists also believe that byproducts of Vegemite that can be found in a human’s sweat act as a repellent.
thats because theyre real. it would be harmful not to warn people.
Just like the warning signs about crocodiles.
Respect.
We can’t just let tourists walk on in and not let them know about drop bears?! There would be an international scandal if we didn’t have a page with safety tips.

Just a thing I noticed.
At 37:03, the wing vein patterns in the 'fairy wings' are very similar to bee wings, more specifically the Apis family, which includes honeybees.
The submarginal cells are very expertly crafted, and have a serious eye for detail.
I look at bees under microscopes and this pattern is so lifelike it's crazy to think it's manmade.

boggles my fucking mind how a cop can be fired for faking a bigfoot story but can just be put on paid leave for murdering someone
also, why the fuck would you fire someone for that? like he lied about finding bigfoot, its not that big of a deal. maybe the chief of police was a die hard bigfoot fan and got pissed off about the fake
Its because police defend the law and property, not people. They are not our friends and never have been. Cops are the successors of slave-catchers. On the other hand, being credible and intimidating, not hilarious, is important to their image.
They're on paid leave during an investigation because they're innocent until proven guilty. If they take their pay away during the investigation and it turns out they're innocent then one could sue for them taking away his pay in the meantime i would imagine
This video would have cured my paranoia and anxiety as a young teen who was too damn curious about the darker parts of the internet. Some of these stories really frightened me back in the day
I heard about the poisoned halloween candy case. The father was so broke and desperate that he was willing to kill his own kid for money. He got life insurance on his son and gave him candy laced with enough cyanide to kill adults. He wasn't caught immediately. Tried to make up a lie about a shady neighbor who probably gave his son the candy but the cops caught on eventually.
I could be wrong but I thought it was a poisoned apple?

With the clown thing, I will say on Halloween 2016 my sister and I were chased by clowns who we thought we holding knives. My dad ended up chasing them down and found out they were some douchey rich college kids going after people that night. I was probably 14 around the time and it honestly freaked me out.
I don't remember if this was in 2016, but it probably was: one year, we had a guy in a clown costume show up to our outdoor Halloween party. He was probably trying to freak us out but he just kind of awkwardly lurked around until we were like: "Okay, bye then."
Yeah, I think the thing started as a hoax or urban legend, but then people thought it was funny and recreated it as a prank.
Man i legit saw so many clowns in 2016. No jokes, whole thing was whacky af
The whole thing started as part of a marketing campaign for the remake of the IT movie and obviously some douchebags thought its funny to scare the shit out of people by imitating it.

The Clown Sightings of 2016 is probably my favorite hoax of all time because it's one of those crazy stories you'd probably hear about the 19th or 18th century, or earlier, such as the meowing nuns or people dancing themselves to death. I can't wait to tell my grandchildren about the Clown Sightings of 2016 (even if I barely remember them myself)
The sucky thing about it is that it very much affected the professional clown industry in a negative way. Didn't matter if they were birthday clowns or clowns who worked at haunts, there were places where people would hunt down even clowns had nothing to do with the hoaxes. It was pretty bad for them for awhile.
You'll barely remember your grandchildren?
It wasn't really a hoax since a lot of clown sightings were real, though it was sometimes exaggerated. Definitely a crazy time, but I'm glad I can later tell my children about it.
I had a lot of fond childhood memories because my school even sent emails to the kid’s parents warning them about it. At school we’d all be so scared and talk about the clowns and what we’ve heard, and rumors etc. it was very fun looking back now haha

I used to go to that Wendy's in San Jose when I lived there years ago. Weird how people fell for this. The way they make chili disintegrates the meat, so even were a stray finger to make its way in, it would scarcely be recognizable as a finger.
I used to catch the bus right next to that Wendy's so ate I there regularly. Whenever anyone I know talks about that Wendy's location they still refer to as the "Finger Wendy's" or something similar. They just remodeled it, earlier this year.

There is definitely something very unnerving and uncomfortable about the picture.
You're right, I got this version too.
The case of the clown sighting in Green Bay, Wisconsin was actually tied to a short film project by a couple guys I knew who also helped run a community theater in Oshkosh, Wi. They ended up incorporating the "Clown Panic" into the story and turning it into the feature length film "Gags the Clown" in 2018 that I believe is available to stream on Prime these days. Its a horror/comedy shot with some POV & found footage style shots.
I'd recommend it.

Well, Lazy. I’ve been sober for over 20 years (not a recovering addict, just haven’t done any substances since high school), but these on-screen visuals you got going on, have me mesmerized and tripping balls. Those coloured inks dropped into water are frickin amazing. A+
“Paul is really dead The last testament of George Harrison”is worth a watch just to see how well thought out the hoax was and incredible amount of details that went into it.
I feel like This Man became a self fulfilling prophecy. I know a good few people who do now occasionally dream of him thanks to the slightly uncanny look of the drawing
Agreed. It's like a myth that became real. I would also say that a much smaller version of this happened with Slenderman too, as it went from being a deliberate creation to somewhat of an urban myth to people who hadn't looked too far into it and making them feel legitimately paranoid.
It’s really interesting, one of my favorite hoaxes for sure
Interesting how the human mind and imagination can create things that you don't know or think it's real.
Especially if you believe that the brain cannot generate new faces during dreams. Once the picture was everywhere, it was inevitable that someone's subconscious would vomit it back out during a dream.

I'm sorry but the CERN spoof is absolutely brilliant and hilarious. Absolute top-notch humour from those scientists. It's the exact perfect thing to rile up conspiracy theorists and I'd kill to be a part of a hoax like that.
“Following an internal investigation, we found the scientists responsible for the video and have taken disciplinary action via ritualistic sacrifice.”
Stupid thing is people still think it's real. Some of the theories go into insane directions too: at least the idea they _could_ create a miniature black hole or an accidental nuclear explosion makes some degree of sense even if it's not really a concern to people who know science, but there's other theories that they're making a gateway to other dimensions, that they're opening portals into hell, that they're building a gateway for aliens to visit earth...
Although funny, it ultimately hurts their image imo... It would have been nice for the perpetrators to come forward and show everyone it was a joke.

13:04 As soon as I heard you say that "This Man" had a manga, I instantly went to go read it. It has 43 chapters, however only 30 are translated in English. It is fully translated in Russian and I THINK French as well, but from the 30 chapters I read, it's surprisingly good! It's a suspense/mystery/thirller and although can be kind of predictable, it's still an enjoyable read. Would highly recommend it, if someone picks up the translation and finishes the last 13 chapters.
Can you tell me the title?
Where can I find this ?
Don't even bother, the beginning is tricky and really makes you think it might be a worthy reading, but it's not. I read it a few months ago and was extremely disappointed and upset. Plot lines lead nowhere, ideas introduced by the mangaka early on just vanish with no resolution, characters are stupidly predictable (as is the story, I'm not even mentioning the fact that nothing makes sense in it after the first half) and the romance is just... just trash, it's been a while since I saw such a poorly written romance in fiction.
Again, don't bother with it if you don't like wasting your time.

This is one of my absolute favourite videos of yours and I often put it on for company as I do chores around the house. Such a wonderful voice and I love the details and presentation. 🎉🎉
That list of fake lost media ideas was pretty funny. My favorite was the last one on the list : 1979 Jimmy Carter meltdown video (AKA FunkyGate) I'd love to hear the backstory for that one
Sounds like Jimmy Carter getting mad over the song Funky town lol
Actually, the clown one wasn’t a hoax. At least, if it was, it inspired some people. We had an issue with people dressed as clowns chasing students on my college campus 😅
is that the same college everyone gathered up one night n went out to hunt them down 😭😭
I also experienced clowns in my hometown. Idk if they attacked anyone, but they were seen.
Agreed. I think it was more of a “craze” than a hoax.
yeah it definitely wasnt a hoax. i knew a lot of people not only in my state but others where weird stuff was going on with them.
Well there wasnt killer clowns murdering people, so yeah, it was a hoax. Kids dressing up to scare people...suckers.
My favorite part of the Polybius hoax (and I genuinely do like it) is the idea of CIA showing up at a dingy arcade in dress wear…
“Hey agent Hopkins, should we get more Polybius data?”
“Sure agent Irving, and let’s look as obvious as fucking possible while doing it”
“10-4, partner”
I dont think you realize just how ubiquitous suits were in the 80s. Mister Roger's was exactly like all of us older millenial/gen X's parents and grandparents unless you were blue collar. My own grandpa worked management in a factory and I still remember the ritual of taking off the blazer and tie and putting on a cardigan and loafers. If you were a man over 30 and not in a uniform you were suspicious especially if you were acting like a person in charge. The freaking managers at pizza hut wore suits.
I love how you suggest your youtube colleagues channels all the time when you know they've made a good video about the subject you're talking about. Great content
Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction was freaking tight! Just that era in time: no smartphones, no social media, internet was a huge thing to have. At school we all thought that was real
I was having a panic attack while working and this came up and you were the perfect distraction. Your voice is really nice and soothing and this was the perfect thing to take my mind off everything.
Thank you Lazy
Imagine he just told a bunch of hoaxes that never existed and at the end he was like, "I saved this hoax for last.. This video-"
I love videos like that
@@TheForgottenTainted it would be funny but that’s not something you can do with over and hour long video
I laugh so hard when conspiracy theorists point to clues in media. Like... why would the conspirators create clues??
Reminds me of that clip of the old-timey cartoon villain going "I could steal it.... NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW!" and his scream echoes throughout the city. If you're gonna do illegal/shady shit, why tell on yourself lmao
cause they want to seem smart ? cause it s like a game to them ?
Same reason serial killers contact the police and give them hints and clues, I’d imagine
Speaking of CERN, did they ever discover, or reveal, who was responsible for the "prank"? They said they were investigating the event but I don't seem to recall them ever revealing the culprits
I want to know too, its in my top 3 things I need to know asap
like the coordinates carved into furniture that lead to some military location or the mysterious package sealed in a NES cart that was bought at a thrift store.
That shit ain't no hoax, how convenient for them to admit it being a prank after they get exposed
@@AnAverageGoblin if you're trying to be funny, you need to look up the definition of a joke first.

@@harrisonlaubach3421 I wasn't trying to be funny. i'm being serious.
As an Aussie, I would like to inform you drop bears are actually real. My mate bazza got torn in half by one and the whole idea that they are a hoax is indeed a hoax. Hoaxception
That's incredible. Same thing happened to my mate, Shazza. Myself and her boyfriend, Dazza, buried her in Sunnyvale. Don't tell anyone.
Yep, the adult male drop bear is far and away the most dangerous animal on Earth (besides humans). The whole "hoax" thing is a direct result of the fact that nobody has ever survived a drop bear attack, thus anyone who has seen one is no longer around to confirm their existence.
Everyone knows it's a colloquial term for koalas going mad from eucalyptus poisoning.
happened to me mate chazza behind a maccys
Happened to me, my name's Dazza, my waist and below got ripped off.
You really didn’t have to show chocolate being poured when talking about jenkem did you? Appreciate that imagery 😖
Lol
Not to mention the kid with chocolate all over his face. LOL
The people that think Elvis faked his death need to watch the video of his last performance. The man looked like he was gonna pass out from singing a drawn out note.
