- While hoaxes can, and often do become urban legends, repeated ad infinitum by generations of gullible school children, or passed on as “old wive’s tales,” the main difference is that an urban legend is not necessarily the intentional work of one deceitful or prankish individual. A hoax is. It’s both intentional and meant to be believed. So then, without further ado: here are 4 More of the Greatest Hoaxes in History!

To quote Mark Twain, "It's easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled." Cheers....
I've not heard heard that line before. It's certainly true.
Thing is Mark Twain never said that.
@@Mirokuofnite “It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.” Allegedly by Mark Twain. Better?
This should be called "4 More of the Greatest Hoaxes in History", the 4th one will be the title itself.
Title says "5 more" and the description states "4 more" but there are only 3 in the video... Is this a hoax on us? Lol
rip ruclips.net/video/kq_GSIw0X0w/видео.html
Allegedly.
@@Hillbilly001 😂 in my opinion
Inflation?
Math challenges!
I may be bad at math...but wasn't this just three hoaxes
You're right - only 3.
They assume you're smart enough to know that #1 is the covid vaxx.
That's the 4th Hoax!! HA HA!
I think you meant Shenzhen, China - not Schengen, Luxembourg (which you used the stock image for).
That cracked me up when I saw it too :)
That's quite an embarrassing oversight. Probably made by one of Simon's interns on their first day on the job. But Simon then does pronounce it "Schengen" himself. Somebody of his level of distinction should really know. 😄
Yes Ridiculous !!!
0:25 - Chapter 1 - The mother of rabbits
6:40 - Chapter 2 - Hitler diaries
11:20 - Chapter 3 - The agony & the ecstasy of steve jobs
King Arthur in Monty Python and the Holy Grail couldn't count to five either.
At least he crossed the Bridge of Death.
You missed out one part of the Diaries story: the diary *was* backed up and "authenticated" by a very credible (but, it turned out, very credulous) historian, Hugh Trevor-Roper. He had been under some pressure to give it his imprimatur, and he didn't really look at them with a properly sceptical eye.
Hugh Trevor-Roper who was on the pay role of Rupert Murdoch. And was willing to exonerate Hitler's involvement in the Holocuast for shoddy dollar. This diary was gross misrepresentation of Nazi genocide & dared to give the impression Hitler's intent was benign towards Jews. This rang alarm bells about the autheticity of the diaries to anyone serious & honest.
Yes I could not understand how he could say no historian vetted the diaries.Trevor-Roper's embarrassment was one the big takeaways of the whole story.
12:14 - Oops, that editor effed up. This is NOT the Chinese city of Shenzhen, but the town of Schengen in Luxembourg (famous for Schengen Agreement of 1985 for abolishing border checks within Europe within the area mentioned in the agreement). Should be pretty obvious, since it does look VERY European and certainly not like an industrial Chinese city^^ You should pull the chains in your dungeon tighter, your editor is getting lazy ;-)
His channels quality in terms of editing and writing have suffered
@@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 trying out different writers I suppose, some work well, others are snoozers
The mother of rabbits story is one that I always hate hearing about. Shoving animal parts into your cooter is so vile. Think of all the germs 😭
In a way doing exactly that, is how babies are made.
@@angrydoggy9170 Allegedly.
Think of the germs? Think of all the rabbits!
Sure, they were unalived, but still...
@@alexandergaus493 I’m willing to bet people would still consider it food in those days.
Rabbits? Of course it's food. I wasn't being completely serious 😉
The book “Selling Hitler” is the definitive work. It’s hilarious how easily Stern was scammed. Trevor-Roper was unqualified to do the authentication and only had a few minutes to examine the documents.
I'm reminded of the story of reporter Janet Cooke, a writer for the Washington Post, who won a Pulitzer prize for her articles on an eight year old heroin addict. The city spent money looking for the boy, there was all kinds of hand-wringing (I lived in DC at the time), and in the end, it was all lies. Cooke returned the Pulitzer, the only person to do so. The need for fame can destroy some people.
Sadly that's so true. But that doesn't provoke enough sympathy in me, to count that as mitigating circumstances.
I remember a similar fake story that won an award (might be Pultizer, I forget) about Desert Storm. It wasn't totally lies, it was just a compendium of events presented as if it was one person's experience.
Did Lois Lane ever get hers?
Anyone remember the book "A Million Little Pieces" by James Fey? It was supposed to be about his struggle with drug addiction and turned out to be BS. I read it and believed it all. Was really med when I found out I was bamboozled.
oh i hope they do another part and cover this story, i never heard of it
The doctor deduced "it had been breathing before it died". Yes I think that how these things usually work.
Not with anything that comes out of the womb dead.
@@dustball_3443 Not with anything that comes out of a womb, really. There's no breathing in there.
Yeah, regardless of the other two comments, I see your joke man.. ..
Good Joke!!!
Lol!
;D
I so love the Hitler Diaries. They made a comedy movie about it, "Schtonk!" (named after the word Charly Chaplin repeatedly used in "The Great Dictator"). And they did not had to change much to make it work as such. Just two funny things: The diaries were marked with initials...but instead of "AH" there was "FH" (leading to a funny scene where the Stern journalists trying to figure out why: "Fritz Hitler? Führers Hound? Führers Head?....AHA! Führers Headquartier!!"). The F was due to Konrad Kujau missing an A in his collection of letters and he used an F instead.
The second thing was the verification of the hand writing. As Simon told, people suspected them to be fake, so the Stern had to do a hand writing verification to quell that unrest. They used an authentic letter written by Hitler to check it and several experts agreed that those came from the same hand. Unbeknownst to all was, that the letter used to authenticate the diaries was also a forgery done by Kujau years earlier. As Simon said, he forged hundreds upon hundreds of paintings, letters, and other stuff for those right-wing collectors over the years. And, yeah, the handwriting matches perfectly...but it was not that of Hitler^^
Not sure if there is an English version of the movie and if it is even possible to translate the jokes correctly, but check it out and have a laugh. Beside "Das Boot" and "Die Feuerzangenbowle" the only German movie I can recommend^^
This sounds like the British Comedy The Hitler Diaries with Jonathan Pryce and Alexie Sayle.
And that has the wrong Gothic Script letters on the diaries covers too I recall.
The whole story and the movie are so hilarious.
I can recommend the faking Hitler Podcast by Stern. They have Original recordings of the Phone Calls with Kujau
This video's title is a hoax of its own... There's only 3 entries and not 5 🤣
King Arthur in Monty Python and the Holy Grail couldn't count to five either.
The Hitler's Diaries scandal was a HUGE story at the time, brilliantly satirized in the German comedy "Schtonk".
"Mother of Rabbits" is a good name for a band.
History Calling recently posted a great video about Mary Toft and her rabbits, if anyone wants to hear more of that story!
Looked up the rabbit thing on Wikipedia.
Apparently, a lot of physicians careers were ruined by it, but if you ask me, they deserved to have their careers ruined if they couldn't figure out the truth!
TIL Simon can’t count to 5.
King Arthur in Monty Python and the Holy Grail couldn't count to five either.
@@ianweniger6620 "Three, sir!"
You are an excelent story teller, keep doing what you do :)
Some more factual errors in this one: Foxconn (which is Taiwanese, not American) is still by far the largest manufacturer for Apple. And the largest electronics manufacturer in the world. And the biggest private employer in China. And the largest exporter of goods from China (more than 4% of total Chinese exports of goods)
This video is one of the greatest hoaxes on youtube. And its absolutely perfect!
That first story had me crossing my legs. I can't imagine shoving pieces of little dead animals into my vagina 🤢😨😱
Big dead animals then?
Someone explain to her where plastic parts come from
0:21 the mother of rabbits
6:33: Hitler's diaries
11:15 the agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs
King Arthur in Monty Python and the Holy Grail couldn't count to five either.
how about that woman who said she was knocked-up by an Inseminating Angel.
"I swear I'm a virgin! It was the holy spirit!"
@@rubiconnn " i swear it was not the Traveling Torah salesman"
@@albertangeloro5832 (Travelling Torah salesman who is standing outside the window gives a suggestive wink)
She never said that though. The virgin birth story came quite a bit later and wasn’t included as standard dogma until the formulation of the Nicene Creed in 325. Paul of Samosata (200-275 CE) is considered the last champion of Adoptionism.
Adoptionism is the early Christian belief that Jesus was conceived in the normal fashion and born of a woman in the normal way. The “spirit of God” adopted the body as soon as it left Mary and lived in the body until the crucifixion where it left, causing Jesus to have the whole “why have thou forsaken me” moment.
It’s all very interesting.
@@StoneInMySandal its all very interesting and shows what a crock is Christianity.
Hitlers diary entry:
'One and one is two, two and two is four,
I'm so sad that I'm losing the war'
(The Producers)
There is a centuries old hoax that would make for a great episode: the Kingdom of Prester John. According to the story, Prester John was a Christian king with a powerful kingdom somewhere in Central Asia, who was willing to help with the crusades. Several European monarchies tried to make contact with him. When Christian Ethiopia came to the attention of the west, many believed that it was the real kingdom of Prester John, and the Ethiopians were Europeans whose skin had become black from the tropical sun. The theories about how the story came about are very interesting. One has it that pagan Asian warriors came to be called infidels by Muslim sources, and this was taken to mean Christian by Europeans, thus starting the rumor of a Christian kingdom in east Asia.
Word has it the 4th Crusaders ran out of travel cash in Venice and had to make a deal with the Doge to attack another Christian city-state the Doge of Venice hated. These Crusaders were also damned sure the Armies of Prester John would arrive any day now and wipe the Moose Lambs from The Holy Land™
The 5th hoax is the video itself not having 5 hoaxes.
I only count 3 hoaxes.
That image at 12:11 is not Schengen (Shenzen, really), China, but the Luxembourgian town with the same name - the one that the Schengen area of Europe is named after. Shenzen doesn't look quite as rustic.
It was NOT justified. There is no reason to lie about abusive child labor if it exists.
Simon should do a video on the day where there was no news
The magicians' trick of pulling rabbits out of a hat originated with the Mary Tofts scandal.
video title is the greatest hoax of them all xD
wow how did that first one not become an SCP back when that was all the rage
Pilt down man comes to mind...
Good idea
The Steel Dossier comes to mind
@@TheSoonToBePurgedJackMeHoff55 Jeb Bush was sure naughty with his methods of opposition research.
Simon featured Piltdown Man in another video:
"10 Debunked Out of Place Artifacts"

12:14 look at this pic of Luxembourg while hearing about China lol ok why not
"Everybody lies" - Dr. Gregory House
"Everybody lies, Michael. the innocent lie because they don't want to be accused of something they didn't do; they guilty lie because they have no choice."

Thanks.
That photo is Schengen Luxembourg, namesake of the Schengen area (EU passport free zone), not Shenzhen China
Being subscribed to a lot of Simon's channels, It's almost as if he's taken the torch from the old History Channel and the old Discovery Channel, before they went down their stupid "reality TV" path.
keep an eye out for Simon's hair to grow out all crazy, then we'll know we've gone Full History Channel
I think the the place at 12:12 is not the Chinese city you are meaning, but rather a town in (perhaps) Germany
it's a town in Luxembourg
Shenzhen not Schengen... there are more and more mistakes like this in the scripts....
must i change my dealer or are there 2 storys missing???
I am so glad my town is not famous for Mary Toft
why is the outro so much louder than the rest?
hi, I thing the picture you have used in 12min11sec is wrong it is Schengen and not shenzen in China. :-)
I feel like this is a case of "I'll give you a cut if you go along with it"
Re Hitler's Diaries, didn't the Times/Sunday Times have these diaries "authenticated" by an eminent historian? The name Hugh Trevor Roper springs to mind but if it wasn't he, I apologise to him for my failing memory of the fiasco.
Bringing new meaning to the term "breeding like rabbits", eh?
"daisy's deception" made me do a double take because it sounds entirely too close to something that's completely different
Those Duke boys, always getting up into sumpthin...
Pretty sure it's a lot darker than that
was the shroud of turin in the first hoax video?
The first one kind of reminds me of the bloatfly girl story.
I'd love to see a full video about the complete hoax that was the "Leaving Neverland" so-called documentary from HBO.
The iPhone story. When I saw the NPR show in the beginning, I already knew. Plus, I'm pretty sure that phones are not made by hand. You every try to take one apart. 😂😅😂
The biggest fraud in this piece is the claim that there is such a thing as journalistic professionalism.
I wonder if putting in a picture of Schengen in Luxembourg instead of Shenzhen in China is just another little hoax by you guys
Fourth hoax is my guess, fifth is the title.
Bad idea to watch this while eating...
The mind of history's ultimate villainous SUBHUMAN, you mean
The are three hoaxes in the video. The fourth one is the description ("...here are 4 More of..."). The fifth hoax is the title of the video ;)
The '5 More Hoax' is the most meta-hoax of all time. 😂
What are the other two hoaxes?
The picture showin of Schengen China is not of China at all. It is of Schengen Luxembourg - lol!
On the misread title card front: Hitler's Dairies.
Whitest milk you ever saw.
Is Nathaniel St. Andre looks hungover
FYI since it's not super common info, g*psy is an ethnic slur
Yep....I prefer pikey myself or how about dirty thieving robbing bastad skum
#2 War
#1 Money
Wait… 5 in the title… 4 in the description… I feel like some editing may have been done, or is this all another hoax? What is factual? Is this real life?
5:36 WHAT THE FUCK 😀
#2 Watch the movie "Schtonk" about the affair. It's highly enjoyable.
Haha, the rabbit had air in its lungs before it died???????? I'm not a doctor or anything, but I'm pretty sure we all have air in our lungs before we die.
Only after you’ve been birthed. There’s no air in the lungs of mammals while in the womb. If the rabbit had truly come from her womb it would not have had air in its lungs.
How about the "White Salamander "Hoax. Involved the LDS Church, and intrigue.
1/137
Thermals??
“Hitler’s Diaries,” sounds like something SOME in the media do today. “Report first, make corrections as necessary.”
That's just media in general since forever
Hitter was an ammeter compared to Stalin
If you account for how long they were in office they had about the same rate of deaths
Doesn't everything breathe before it dies? 🤔
Too many stories like Daisey's contribute to fewer people believing what the corporate media puts out as news.
I'm only ending the first story. I hope the others aren't as Fd up lol......WTF?!?! 0_O
Is it weird to bring up the fact that the word "coney" means female rabbit, but the word morphed over years into a new spelling and pronunciation: Cunny. Cunny is also used as a childish form of the word "cunt". There is probably a more comprehensive joke to be made about the "mother of rabbits" here...but I just can't quite...piece it together.
you forgot to put the book of mormon on here.
A rabbit. Really? That's some kinky Shit
2 hoaxes were played on the viewers of this video.
Mary Toft… 🤢🤮
What no Covid?
Birds aren't real
Wasn't that only 3? If so, that Title isn't just clickbait- it's a lie too. Then there's the lie in the Description that says 4. Good video but things like this = automatic thumb down.
#1:build back better loll
How about the Steel Dossier? That was a hoax perpetrated by the DNC, FBI and Hillary Clinton herself.
That bill didn't even pass lol
"How can anyone be so gullible? "
