Charging on powerlines is an extremely clever and hilarious anecdote because if this all was true its a perfect explanation for always seeing birds on powerlines.
Which is what a lot of people fall for in conspiracy theories- a simple habit that is twisted into something sinister
They say that our defense contractors invent technology that later turns up to serve in every day uses. That is why we now have cordless chargers.
@@vatar57 you know. I still aint sure how they bloody things work.
Im aware its not magic.
Anyway, im away to figure it out.
Ps: hey, thanks. You gave me something to do.
A.I. has developed to the point where it can control robotic bird surveillance...BIRD BRAINS!
Got it, thanks.
The stickers on the van had me laughing so hard. Awesome interview.
PIGEONS ARE LIARS!
@@hankmoody7513 LMAO 🤣 😂
@@sharonsekhon9475 It makes sense because humans can't touch power lines can they?
Pigeons are liars. The best line ever
Lol 😂 I need these stickers on my car
"I learned the truth and got rid of my pet bird" this I could not stop laughing from, each of the signs make the joke even better
BIRD = Basic Information Recording Device
"I'm not gonna go on news shows but shows about, you know, clocks and time, I'm OK with sharing my information with." He got me with this one 😂
I’m surprised he doesn’t know that clocks aren’t real though
"Thank you for inviting me to your clock show." I died... LMAO!!
@@SilvertortoisePiano I realize this might be too nuanced for the the uneducated, but time is real. What is fake is the totally arbitrary scale we use to measure it based on totally random and variable things like the earth’s rotation and the orbits of the moon around the earth and the earth around the sun. Have you ever wondered about leap years? Daylight savings time? The age of consent? Why aren’t months all an equal number of days? Why is a week seven days? Why are there four seasons and not ten or eleven? It’s all totally random! Einstein proved it!
Had me dying
And that went over all the clocks an time staff’s head. They even proudly show the world how clever this survivor mocks them.
Honestly until now any time I've come across "birds aren't real" I didn't pay much attention. I'm now realizing I've become completely desensitized to nonsense. I bet if I walked outside and literally everyone was dressed like a clown I'd just be like, hmm, prolly a social media thing.
Use the Force....
"Don't Look Up"
You mean as of right now you walk outside and not everybody is dressed like clowns? Well then I wonder what's going on around here? Weird😜🤓🤷♂️
Sounds like a New Yorker
@@dricoirving3236 Zing!
The gem is when he said he knew the truth about the clock show and then proceeding to go to his script and sticks to it till the end is so funny.
I love the lady who prayed for him! 😭
Lmao
birds charge on power lines?!?
This guy is a genius!
So funny, love this guy!

That sounds legit though. Electronic birds would charge on power lines!
@@pro-choicemom or Aliens disguised as birds.
So we don't notice?
That's silly.
Robot birds makes much more sense.
🤣
It's crazy to think right? "Right Wing" , "Left Wing" the charging on power lines, DNA from Seagulls. OMG it's so hilarious but does sort of make sense. Why do people Tweet? It goes on and on. Love it! 🤣
Yes I can’t believe we used to think birds were battery powered
That one really got me! Lol
He's proven that you can create a conspiracy based on basically anything... and he used it to deal with his trauma. Good for him.
Ever seen the film Zeitgeist? It was a project with the same purpose, to out the ease of building conspiracies, made many years ago..
So cool.
Judaism beat these guys by like 5,000 years

Well so did the flat earthers, qanon and pizza gate.
This young man is a genius!🤣.
He's got to be the world's ultimate practical joker/ Pinker.
He's Punked thousands & entertained probably the same amount, lol 😆.
I was laughing at the beginning of video, but after he came out of character and stated what he was doing, I really started laughing . Darn near laughing to tears, watching him and others.
Great job!👍.
you're insane
Einstein was a genius. This is a very smart kid with a good idea. Just sayin…
😂
It’s so funny that he just grabbed a poster board and wrote down the first thing he could think of 😂😂😂
I love how she is trying not to laugh during the interview!! 😂🤣😂🤣
It’s taking me out 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She's laughing because she's getting paid to ignore real issues.
@THiNk aBoUt iT Doesn't mean she’s ignoring real issues 🙄 she’s just laughing because it’s funny.
She's laughing so people will think birds are real. What she calls a parody conspiracy theory is actually a real conspiracy, with real surveillance drones 🙂
This guy is hilarious. I am now a firm believer in the "Birds Aren't Real" conspiracy.
Make room for one more!
It's a psyop
Well I’m not because birds are indeed real
I'm convinced. Count me in! 🤣🤣🤣
Well you may be up for this stuff but I certainly am not It’s a lot of nonsense
What an incredible social experiment! I hope that psychologists, sociologists, and political scientists are taking note
They are way ahead of you. The LGBT community has grown a lot thanks to them and thousands of kids now think it's a good idea to have irreversible gender assignment surgery and hormone blockers. Using the threat of suicide as the stick and the promise of euphoria and acceptance as the carrot.
acknowledging that corporations fund laws to benefit their class is not a conspiracy theory. LMFAO
"people also made fun of the founding fathers. You know? Before they stormed the british gates and took over"
This is hilariously accurate of the mindset of real conspiracy theorists.
They always find a way to equate themselves to the founding fathers the same way Christians like to win arguments by saying "it's in the bible."
people made fun of, people called them crazy, people said they would never succeed, people said people said. But you wait and see! I'm just like a founding fodder!
If you beLIEve any of the HISstory they hand us!
The Founding Feathers didnt float!
THE BRITISH ARE COMING!!!! HAHAHA 😂😁
ok but clinton is epstiens friend and hunters labtop is real ... go look
These people had me annoyed at first, but now that I've seen what they're all about, I can't help but feel they have won the decade.
Comrade bird truther ✊🏼
at first, i was furious, now after watching...BIRDS AREN'T REAL
I love near the beach...he's right. Don't trust the seagulls
yooo, Pastafarians were the great satirical movement of the 2000s. I wonder if they inspired this guy
Birds are real bugs are fake.
When I saw “Pigeons are liars” I howled. This guy is the next Sasha Baron Cohen
This would be a PERFECT movie..I hope it happens, if not I’ll take a Netflix show.. 😂
I love that 60 Minutes did this! Unexpected and out of their realm but it fit well. They should do more pieces on movements instead of individuals
Imagine if they reported on real topics like inflation.
More clock show reporting please!
... It's like that time when Steve Martin said "Vagina" during the intro segment.
(Look it up.)
Of course 60 Min did this; they are entirely absolutely part of the establishment corporate media which bring you such truths as Sadams WMD, Russia stole the election from Hillary, Biden doesn't have obvious pronounced cognitive decline, and Bush/Chenney aren't war criminals, but Trump, who didn't start any new wars, is a blood thirsty militaristic maniac with his finger on the red button. They wouldn't lie to you, would they?......Or embrace orchestrated send ups of any ideas that challenge their place as arbiters of universal truth, no matter how questionable on the basis of real evidence? No, nothing to see here folks, move along. Just laugh if you see anything that contradicts the official story lines.
@@BurnCrushExecute imagine is so many Americans didn't buy into BS conspiracies like Q and the stolen election, and then we could get things done in DC as the GOP obstruction crooks were voted out of office, cause, you know, their only platform is STUPID conspiracy culture was BS,
This is fantastic. At last, some sanity in the world. What a creative guy to make this whole thing up. I love sarcasm and satire and this fits right in with the great authors of the past. This is like, "The emperor has no clothes."
Exactly!
OMG, FINALLY SOMEONE WHO REMEMBERS THE EMPERORS NEW CLOTHES. YOU SIR, ARE THE REAL MVP!!!
Yes
The most amazing part is that there are people that do not realize what it is he and his group are actually doing, and believe it. I realize that actually is the point, but geez, is that sad.
I'm left wondering if this is an argument against or in favor of Plato's Allegory if the Cave.
Watching this the day Twitter removes their bird logo on that very building.
I so much love this woman's facial expressions
“pigeons are liars” had me on the floor
But they are 😂😂😂
Birds are'nt real was in an austin powers movie the pentaverate thats maybe where he got his ideas from everything hes saying about birds an pidgeons being a conspiracy was in the movie look it up
Yeah very funny stuff

What if I told you, you have the whole thing backwards? The government's just batting a thousand telling the truth with us huh? Two or more ppl never get together surreptitiously for personal gain that's not completely on the up and up?
You bone head. This nonsense is intended to steer stupid people away from the truths that the government doesn't want you to know.
Enjoy ur 15min citys, lab food, no farmers, no cars
I’ve seen it… recording fake birds flying. Then you watch it on your phone and the birds turn in to silver spheres
???
It must have been such a relief to interview a conspiracy theorist that you don't have to take seriously as a journalist
That's the whole point of the name "conspiracy theories" so they never become ideas that being understand. These people think that 9/11 was committed by Arabs with box cutters... Smh they're feds in there thinking
Real Journalism died along time ago
Sad as it seems, there is more truth to the "Birds Arent Real" Conspiracy has more factual content to it than almost anything youd find in QAnon

They say that because they havent seen a dead bird that its body has actually opened .

This should be turned into a TV series...
I love the whole "fighting lunacy with lunacy" concept!
So you admit it's lunacy. You may step down from the witness stand.
Allow me to introduce you to Stargate SG-1, a TV show about a secret interplanetary military program, in which there's an episode about making a TV show about a secret interplanetary military program to hide the "real" secret interplanetary military program in plain sight.
you should star in it.
It exists. It's called Saturday night live. They made a business decision to not be funny anymore though
Called South Park
So I guess I have been eating robots instead of chickens for the last 30 years.

Very good.
This is the most sane and reasonable conspiracy theory I have ever heard!
"If it flies, it spies!"
No, not the biplanes
It's a good joke, but let's get real here. The truth is there's no such thing as a fish. And it's been proven!

@@bugsygoo Agreed, a great man once said "Do you really think fish are real? You'd have to be an idiot not to notice all the sloppy details.".
I love the lore he has developed around the conspiracy theory. My favorite bit is the seagulls being used for DNA harvesting.
My favorite bit is how bird surveillance drones are literally a real thing yet no one seems to know that.
@@rocketamadeus3730 I’m not even 19 and I have worked this out before even seeing anything about it!
funniest thing is its all true though theyre CIA eschewing attention from a real operation disguised as a nutty parody.
Yeah, but I can't imagine they're widely used, or deployed over any great distance. There's also pretty successful research into using live beetles with cameras and wires in their nervous systems to control their flight. But they're unreliable and super expensive, probably only used for very specific high value surveillance.
Very little reason to send expensive and high risk toys out to watch normal citizens who happily broadcast everything they do through their phones already.
Dude it’s not funny. That is exactly what seagulls do. I’ve seen it happen. They take your french fries and fly off straight toward Langley.
My Dad always told me: I was so..... slow it would take me an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes.
Me and my brother saw a bunch of birds flying, glowing, same amount in 4 rows, also a flying object going fast WAYYYY too far up to be an airplane and it wasn’t a helicopter
Birds aren’t real isn’t satire. That’s what they want you to think
Hey look another conspiracy theory that the fake conspiracy theory isn’t actually a fake conspiracy theory but a real theory
Birds are psychotic hypnotized lizard people genetically transformed to be 'birds'. I have proof. Note that 'birds' never existed until after WWII ended, the day the global cabal took over.

This is hilarious, but also part of the proud tradition of comedy calling out real issues. I’m proud of him for doing something to address the conspiracy theorists in such a creative, positive and fun way.
Don't believe the "'Birds Aren't Real' isn't real" conspiracy. I'm not saying that birds aren't real, but the conspiracy is.
The only difference between a conspiracy theory and truth is like a year to 6 months.
Remember facebooks fact checkers?
Parody is becoming reality
There’s so many proven conspiracies. This world is obviously not what we thought it was.
Democrats use "conspiracy theorists" as a strawman while they laugh about the census.
Honestly, I am quite happy that the Birds Aren't Real people are here. They aren't hurting anything or anyone, the founder uses the movement as a way to deal with his trauma, it's satire and it truly exemplifies what I always say...'it takes all types to make a village.' I don't believe birds are drones but I have my serious suspicions about seagulls, male peacocks and mockingbirds. Especially mockers. Anything that sits outside your bedroom window all night and sings car alarm songs has an alternate agenda.
Seagulls steal food-but do you ever see them actually EATING it???

I feel a particular connection with the students and families of both the Stoneman Douglas and Newtown mass shootings, as I was a student at Virginia Tech on 4/16/07, but I at least never had to go through being called a crisis actor, or suffer personal threats and attacks from conspiracy theorists. The "Birds aren't Real" movement is such perfect satire for what's going on in our country and I'm a definitely a believer.
Go Hokies!
I remember the news that day. Best to everyone affected by all the tragedies you cited. That people harass and disbelieve them is unconscionably awful.
Also want to mention that the families of the Children and Educators murdered in the very real massacre at Newtown have an organization called Sandy Hook Promise. Everyone please look at their information as you're able.

He's another Sasha Baron Cohen

As someone who’s absolutely sick of conspiracy theories and conspiracists, this is refreshing.
Why? What are you hiding?
@@crazydave318 Maybe their head? Up perhaps in their four pointed contact? But then maybe they ARE tired of the "flat earthers"? They couldn't possibly be tired of the "Oswald-wasn't-alone" crowd???

You SAID it !!! So sick & TIRED of these STUPID conspiracy theorists !!!
one of the first things they do is try and discredit bbc and cnn news
At 1:20 Is that the guy from “what do you do for a living” videos ?? 🤣
Got rid of bird because its a spy device......... But kept his phone ......
LMAO
This kid already has a psychology degree and more !
I want to know how to become a follower of this brilliant (and very true lol) movement ! I'm all in and I am 68 yrs old.
Glad to see there is a generation that
can look at a serious situation, and raise awareness of it , by attracting large numbers of people to it based on humor(satire). Good twist ! Very refreshing!
I am 55, I never remembered seeing a 'bird' until I was 2 my yrs old. My theory was that they were introduced in 1968 (when I was 2). Prior to this I never saw 'birds'. My parents tell me birds existed but not sure because I am not sure my own parents even existed prior to my birth. I can only take their word for it.
It's a wonderful psychological experiment, and obviously cathartic already. Fantastically done
This is so wholesome & sweet 🥺, I’m also sooo happy you finally realized that birds have been a lie
Kids been brainwashed.
He's will make a great CIA agent. A conspiracy theorist is a term used to discredit people who ask too many questions. Hunter Biden's laptop was a conspiracy, Jeffrey Epstein was a conspiracy, the US government spying on Americans conspiracy I remember Edward Snowden.
I'll be honest, I didn't even know this was satire. There were just so many insane conspiracy theories being thrown out there that I genuinely thought that there were some dipshits who seriosuly thought this. Absolutely genius 😂
Same! I used to bartend, and I had a guy sit down at my bar and start talking about how birds aren't real. I agreed with him, because I was scared he was unstable and would harm me. Then, I refused to serve him another drink. 🤣😂🤣
me too
Insane conspiracy theory = anything the msm and mainstream institutions dont talk about or want me to know of
Also you literally couldn’t tell an obvious joke was a joke until the news told you it was, and yet you have the gall to question the astuteness of “conspiracy theorists” and insinuate that they are gullible? Clearest example of projection I’ve ever seen.
by now, there are probably people who have stumbled onto this "Birds Aren't Real" thing and genuinely believe it. never underestimate humanity
A year later: Twitter now is X and they got rid of the bird.. must be a sign.
Humans: Birds Aren't Real
Birds: Next morning poop on the windshield now that's real😂
This made my day! I wish this young man nothing but the best! 👍🏾
Sooo refreshing to see everyone hasn't lost their entire mind. There are some people who actually believe that believing in conspiracy theories makes them smarter than everyone else. A healthy (substantiated) skepticism is part of living in a world with other humans since interests don't always align, but never being able to take anything or anyone as they are presented is a prison.
wanting to feel smarter than everyone else is the prerequisite for any conspiracy idiot on facebook
Skepticism is more important than ever nowadays. Information is controlled by a smaller and smaller group of individuals who's primary motivation is definitely not the greater good.
Well said Johanne!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Crazy people ALWAYS think they are smarter than other people.
You're 100% right. I know, because I live it. I'm skeptical about pretty much everything. I always admire people who have strong faith or beliefs in something, because it seems very liberating. Usually though, it's because of the reasons @SebiOne said. I'm always questioning the intentions or the sources
I don't think I'm smarter than everyone else though lol. I'm very aware of how problematic this mindset is
Seagulls aren't eating the food because they're hungry, no! taking food back to the pentagon for DNA testing.
Hilarious.
"The birds arnt real movement is thankfully, pure satire"
That's what the government wants us to think
Missed opportunity in that opening interview: "What kind of birds are most dangerous?" Should have said: "Angry Birds".
