- This website accidentally turned into a joke, and then accidentally turned into something quite dark.
"RentAHitman.com is a satirical website purporting to offer contract killers for hire. The site's domain was bought by Bob Innes in 2005 as a potential site for an information technology company to be set up with his friends (playing on the use of the word "hit" as a check on a website's security or the count of web traffic). The company was never started but Innes retained the site. Upon checking the site's email inbox in 2008, he found hundreds of messages requesting contract killing services, but he considered none to be serious. When checking again in 2010, however, he found a serious request from a woman in Canada. He passed her details to the police, and she was convicted for soliciting murder.
Afterwards, Innes converted RentAHitman.com to a supposed front for a contract killing agency, though he included numerous jokes in its content to clearly signal the site is a parody. Despite this, Innes' site has resulted in several further convictions for those attempting to employ the supposed services, as he checks messages sent to him and refers any serious requests to law enforcement agencies."

the HIPPA joke wasnt about JFK assassination, just so you are aware. HIPAA is about medical record privacy, its a law in the United States protecting medical records. love your vids, have a great evening
So if someone want to get famous over night they just have to keep search for this kinda stuff and cops will totally swat them and instant fame from suing cops for police brutality...
Such an educative video. I'm joining asap
Hey Qxir, you once made a video on the Waco Siege, and at the end of that video, you briefly talked about the Oklahoma City Bombing, and mentioned that there was going to be another video on it.
Can you make a video on the Oklahoma City Bombing. It would be great to see you continue the story of Ruby Ridge, Waco, Oklahoma City.

Love how the 'careers' page is a form asking for your name, address, details, etc. Way to make the police's job easier, Josiah.
Better pathway is being a mercenary for that one marine that tried to become a HITMAN
@@deadmanarmy5854 His lack of foresight made him perfect for the marines.
@@deadmanarmy5854$108,000 to $270,000 per year, and it's all legal too, unless you commit some war crimes, he just didn't look far enough
insane how one domain went from bug finding to arresting people for attempted murder
Idk man, id say he definitely found some bugs..
That is the indeed the subject of the video.
@@NightytimeExtrasI feel like you’ve forgotten this is a comment section. A “verbal or written remark expressing an opinion or reaction” section. You expect everyone to write a fucking essay?
@@NoNo-xh7ruNah, I just don't think this comment adds anything of substance (like most UA-cam comments). I'm just a bit grumpy today, it's not that big of a deal.

It makes me sad that there are kids using the website to end their abuse.
Yeah, I really hope the police understood that those kids were victims, and CPS helped them.
We need a real The Punisher who take the pay of buttons, cookies and macaroni art.
Frankly, that’s the real story here. The video that was made is garbage compared to what it could have been if it instead focused on those poor kids.
@@leovalenzuela8368that's not what this channel is for, what you're asking for actually seems extremely disrespectful in this format...
@@ct92404 Highly unlikely
Why do I find this story so wholesome? It's like a scambaiters making sure the scammers get what they deserve
Did you watch the whole video ? It became unbelievably sad !
"Why do I think saving lives is wholesome?"
@CoolAdam247 you must be young
@@icedcoffee8561 I wish ! 🤣
Why would you make that assumption by the way ?
@CoolAdam247 it seemed like a slice of life story to me, melancholy.. I'm exaggerating slightly, but it is just reality, the world can be a messed up place.
Someones definitely getting arrested after watching this video this and trying it out as a joke
probs
100%
You guys want me To bite the bullet and try it out? Just for shits and Giggles’s?
@@joshaulis8326 I'm sure we'll see them in the news.
@@joshaulis8326 Just name your state and we'll go looking at the news when you do it.
I honestly never knew that the website is still able to catch people trying to hire a Hitman. I thought it was a neat moment at the time, but finding out that one of the cases was in 2024 is surprising for me.
Dumbassery is an infinite resource.
People come and go but stupidity is eternal
I can turn the website on and off, like a spigot, and it has no effect on submissions. There’s always someone new, somewhere else, seeking something that I neither condone or provide.
Love how much emotion he can get into such simple drawings. Legit impressive.
9:43 - Other cases include minors trying to have their parents killed 😂😂
...When police investigate, they discover that the child is being abused 😐😭 Fuck I feel really bad for laughing at that now 😢
Tbh some kids do make spur-of-the-moment decisions based on their emotions, but, same :// im glad those kids were rescued
I once tried to pick up a log that fell out of the fire and put it back _by hand,_ I have no doubts I'd be the type to use a blowtorch on a fly that's resting on a propane tank.
Thankfully, propane tank manufacturers generally don't make stuff that instantly catch fire. So, not a good idea, but there is a decent chance of not instantly dying.
If you dampen your hand w/ water, or have a lot of calluses, & you're quick enough, that technique works fine. Sometimes the line between genius & fool can be pretty narrow
WAIT IT'S FAKE!!!! I GOTTA DELETE SOME EMAILS
🤨📸
kek
Worked for Hillary Clinton.. that’s a joke pls Clintons don’t Epstein me
😂 cant delete emails
@@Khmerstreets woosh
Rentahitman is amazing. The fact they save people and kids from being abused. Dude is a true hero developer in my opinion!
The name Rent-A-Hacker was RIGHT THERE! How did A BUNCH OF IT DUDES. DID. NOT. GET IT?!?!!?!!
Probably because it was already taken.
Likely already taken
Currently debating sending Bob an email telling him he's doing a great job and I hope he's doing well
he’d probably appreciate it tbh
Go for it, I'm sure he'd appreciate it
Do it
Just don't get sidetracked and mention a friend causing you problems.
Weirdly wholesome story to me (at least from Mr. Innes’s perspective. Quite a noble “hobby” he’s stumbled into).
I heard about this website but I was under the impression that it was run by the FBI as a sting.
@@chickenlittle2206private citizen?
Did you miss the beginning of the video where the guy tried desperately to become a cop but failed?
He was never a citizen, he was so smitten with men in uniform that he tagged along behind them begging for their acceptance and approval.
@@epstein_isnt_dead7726he tried to become a cop but failed. That makes him a private citizen.
@@epstein_isnt_dead7726 he never became a police officer, therefore he's a private citizen
@@gorbanmusic6568 working for the cops for a paycheck vs working for the cops for a pat on the back.
It's still working for the cops. They just have a different payment agreement than what you're used to.
@@epstein_isnt_dead7726 Does picking up trash mean I'm working for the department of waste management too? You sound silly man, its a dude reporting crimes when he sees them tens of thousands of private citizens do that every day.
I don't know how I didn't find this channel earlier, but I'm so glad I did!
Because you went outside and had a girlfriend
Better late than never.
Ah yes, you didn't find this channel earlier but you did.
same! - if you haven't watched the dublin whiskey fire video - 😂😂😂 - you're in for a treat. 🤣😅
I subscribed when he was around 2,000 subs and his content has improved vastly, but was always awesome. I really didn't expect this channel to blow up like it did but I'm happy it has provided so much awesome content to listen to!
One important thing I should mention:
the smartest person, and the dumbest person, can very easily be the same person. all it takes to turn the former into the latter is enough stress and emotional damage.
Happened to my mom. $300 US worth of Ebay cards that she never got back all because of a scammer who caught her on a particularly tumultuous day.
This is true.
I think you’re overestimating your mom’s IQ 💀
I'm not the sort to judge others on falling for scams. I barely have any business interactions with others and fall foul on the idea of quick money schemes, that doesn't mean I'm immune to a scam. I'm far less susceptible, but I may have that one really bad day where I'm desperate enough to fall for one.
Exactly, no one is immune to being taken advantage of and people need to realise that.
Exactly, they prey on the vulernable, it is shit. This is also similar to coincidental scamming. A perfect example is a fake UPS extra tax payment on a delivery type fake email, but on the same day you're expecting a delivery from UPS, so it makes total sense. However, obviously if you haven't bought anything it's clearly fake. When you're in the moment, you just think not much of it because it lines up with your expectations of what could happen.
Imagine someone already enlisted in the US military inquiring about a murder for hire job... Dude, you already have that job.
He was underpaid and decided to try moving to a higher paid position.
Obviously, there were some issues with his decision, but eh. Makes sense, if it weren't so stupid, anyway.
Those last couple of cases are really sad, words cannot fathom.
This seems like a great premise for an anthology style movie, all these extreme, tragic or bizarre situations.
Working on it!
4:49 nope, its a reference to the real hipaa, occasionally known as hippa, which ensures privacy among a lot of other things to U.S. citizens
That's what's funny about the website it's absolutely loaded with these obvious puns and jokes.
Ok, the Dolly Parton parody got me. This video was funny, but that.... Holy cow bro.
One person hasn't finished watching this video has already emailed the website.
"Nothing better than a website aye!!"
-- central intelligence agency
Kind of insane how the tables have turned in this story, going from an ethical hacking website with a funny name, to a website that might as well have saved many people from being murdered. It’s hilarious to me how some people really thought this was a legitimate website.
Been subbed for 3 years now. Proud to say I still love this channel through and through.
Yup...well put
Our guy Qxir brings up a good point. It's probably rough to read some of the stories. I hope he has a good support network. Cheers to him.
I certainly do. Thanks for asking!
In America, there was a magazine called Soldier of Fortune, which featured classified ads in the back, many of which actually were by hitmen.
Not all heroes wear capes, but this is the most unorthodox kind of hero I've seen in a while.
You can see it in their eyes. Blank, hollow, unfocused, stupid is an understatement.
That last (pause) "no" was immaculate
7:04 - 7:17
This part was so fire it overheated my phone.
Yes!
Putting a hit on your own toddler is especially evil. 🤬
this bloke's artwork is top tier lol
3:33 I appreciate that the female Bobby is named Booby 😂
6:35 Wait they got one THIS YEAR? I’ve seen people making videos about this for years; I guess people are too dumb to even research it further. Just see and do
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Or just stupid people full stop.
A person is smart. People are dumb.
@@joncurtis199Actually, that's not really true.
There are studies that show crowds can be surprisingly smart when working together (like if they had to guess a weight or height for example. The average is often very close to reality).
No, a crowd is only truly dumb when it's hijacked by a dumbass with a loud voice and an air of authority.
Case in point: 535 individuals in D.C.
Player piano style Puttin' on the Ritz for the background music.....classic
This is actually one of the craziest stories I've seen on this channel.
Great video as usual 👌
Qxir is one of those channels where I want to see every video he has produced. Very well put together.
YES!
Loving the upload schedule. Always enjoy seeing you in my notifications. Seeing you do more animation is also a really nice touch. Cheers!
George Carlin once said “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that..." The story around this website proves that theory pretty conclusively.
Your rendition of “Jolene” is deeply moving, and I need to know how I can get a full recording. Have you done an album?
That woman wanting her kid dead is just sad. She could've just surrendered the kid to social services/care or put the child up for adoption, but having the child killed is dark.
The woman who wanted their 3 year old killed because he was getting in the way of your relationship with an EX-bf?! GIVE HIM TO A RELATIVE WHO LOVES HIM or at least CPS. You don’t want him so don’t raise him. DON’T KILL HIM
For non Americans, HIPPA is a reference to HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It is the law that requires patients to consent to a lot of their procedures and such and healthcare conduct by healthcare professionals in the US.
Oh my god, this story is hilarious! And it’s still going? You’d think people would’ve cottoned on by now, but I guess that just shows how powerful stupid is. Also, this is one of your best vids yet. I love how you’re able to keep unearthing these gems
Your opening spiel is a very well said reasoning as to why a well educated population is extremely important
You can tell the people caught using this site were just unlucky.. they all look like well educated people(!)
7:18 OK 👏👏👏
That is hands down the best remake of Dolly's classic song Jolene!
🤣🤣🤣
LMAO
Thanks man. I'm continually amazed by the subject and execution (oh).
Having an exmilitary sign up for hitman work with "Put me in coach" is inherently funny.
Bob is a Hero, not one we deserved, but one we needed
Now this story should be used in a movie! Great job man!
“You don’t need a brain to be dangerous” trust me Chicago drivers already proved this

I appreciate you having so much to say about me the first minute of this 😊
if yall see merch offered by them that says "100% satisfied target" with blood splatter you can thank me
There's gonna be a lot of qxir fans going to that website now.
I'm one of them. I'll be sending an email of encouragement saying he's doing a great deed
Honestly love how simple this is to catch idiots who thinks you can get a hit on the surface web
I didn't know this guy went to the police academy at Napa Valley College! Did you know that NVC is right across the highway from the historic Napa State Hospital, a psychiatric hospital run by the state for the purpose of rehabilitating people who are temporarily unfit to be tried for a crime or successfully used an insanity defense after committing a crime. Patients used to wander over to the college campus all the time. At least pre-2008...
That is 100% true.
Top tip: don't go visit that website out of curiosity, because if someone you know soon dies under mysterious circumstances and you get investigated, it's not gonna look good!
Hey look these flys in my highly-explosive tank storage facility aren’t going to blow themselves up
I love your drawings. They are so calming.
How did you find this website again in case i didn’t hear you tell us? I have a respect to you on the way your art work is evolving!❤
It's hilarious - "a careers section was added to the website"!
Remindz me of an awkward introduction i made at a house party... When asked about work - i replied ' contractor ' - i had a nice residential reno bizz - pre-2020...
One of the guests says - oh wow ... In college, i rented a room from a professional HITMAN ! ... Cleanest roomate ever -
- she added too !🇨🇦
“How to google ‘how to dispose of body’ without telling google about it”
I love reading up on cases that involved this website. Every single one is solid gold for some reason or another. There's just something hilarious, frightening, and sad about the sort of person who is the right combination of homicidal, brain dead, and lacks the get-up-and-go to do the job themselves that makes for a real interesting person to me.
And yes, even the dark ones. Interesting doesn't mean always just hilarious.
OMG! "Industry awards!" This guy is hilarious!!!
0:24 Exhibit A: The anti-gun lobbyists, people like Alec Baldwin, someone who was so anti-gun, he didn’t believe he needed to learn how to use one.
We all know now not to challenge Mr.Baldwin to a 1v1 on Rust.
What would you even be charged with for trying to hire a hitman on yourself?
another fantastically, funnily animated, tale from the bottle!
9:52 I read a post where a suicidal man visited a page to get himself killed, because he was afraid to do it himself, only to be emailed back with a message saying it's a website for catching people who place hits on others. There was also a link leading to a website offering therapy and mental help.
I guess it was this website
Doesn’t sound familiar. Probably another website.
Three people?? Lady you can’t afford three. Was she hoping for a punch card or multi-discount?
Another brilliantly hilarious video from Qxir. How can we, the fans, get to hear the Qxir does the classics album??!! I'd pay good money to hear the stereo version of "Jolene"!!!
So the woman in Canada only got 4 months while the woman in the US got 7 plus years for the same thing?!?! There is a huge discrepancy between these legal systems.
Well she did get deported back to the UK and continue being in prison there.
I knew what the website was going to be from the title
Given how often companies will state "HIPAA compliant" in advertisements, I wonder how many people saw the "HIPPA compliant" bit and just didn't read what it actually stood for or mindlessly assumed most companies are compliant with hitman services.
Super hyped for this having watched a lower quality video about it already 😂
I'd love to be in the jury of those trials.
"Mr. Dummy, would you please read from line 1 of exhibit A?"
"Uhhh. I don't read so good but ...hey! i know this site. It says rent a hitman."
"Thank you, Mr. Dummy, Now, please read from exhibit B."
"Uhhh, Okay. Dear Mr. Hitman. Please murder my wife."
"Your honor, the prosecution rests."
Lmao those had to be the quickets trials in history.
Just goes to show that if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself.
the stupidity is strong with those ones
The "Careers" page takes the cake, imho. Especially the field "Are You Experienced?", with the field description simply reading, "Jimi Hendrix."
But on a more sobering, humanistic, spiritual level - I really, REALLY feel for these people (specifically NOT any/all job applicants!)... The very real truth is that they are EACH, individually, in a protracted personal hell, day by day, as their hate - which by definition they don't know how to truly contend with, or escape, or fix - consumes them and their lives and everything they know. The ripple effects throughout their families are complete, staggering, horrific, and permanent. I wish for them a great personal/spiritual reckoning, and complete reconciliation if possible, and relief from their pain, with everything I have in me. 😢 But that's fucking HARD - meaning DEFINITELY seemingly impossible.
Isn't the guy afraid to be fined for violating HIPPA? 😀
I might go to the website and asked him to put a hit on Santa Claus or the Easter bunny just to cheer him up.
Excellent video Qxir. Keep the Tales from the bottle coming
This feels like a website that you could find linked somewhere in a GTA game
This is possibly my favorite episode so far. Well done 👍
Mine too!
Haha, I've love to see his analytics after this episode, sudden spike in traffic.
I'd visit it myself, but yeah, don't want that in my history in case someone even remotely connected to me suddenly contracts a case of death.
If you solicit a albeit fake, hitman to take out yourself have you commited any crime?
4:54 this emotion is my favorite running joke on the channel, same face was in the Mcdonalds Olympics video
Lmao, the hippa reference is actually a reference to medicine. Hippa stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. has a lot to do with a patients right to keep their medical records private
Damn he wanted to be a police officer but ended working together 😂😂
It’s insane to think an Irishman knows Dolly Parton.
I heard their top earner is a stately (but ousted) prince from Nigeria and he’s been fabulously rewarded.
Well Bob is the hero here. Great video and musical break
The air national guard dork pretending he trains to kill people actually got a great laugh outta me
That's the best Dolly Parton cover out there @7:04
