Inside Storm Area 51: How a Viral Meme Almost Destroyed a Town
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- The Internet erupted in laughter and curiosity when Matty Roberts created his Storm Area 51 Facebook event. The event went on to become a viral meme. Harnessing the sensational momentum, the storming event was transformed into a music festival that was set to take place in the rural town of Rachel, Nevada.
Power struggles behind the scenes, however, created chaos and confusion for both the media and those who wanted to attend.
VICE producers Zeke Spector and Dan Zabludovsky documented their process of trying to gain access to the event and their attempt to make sense of how an Internet entity can affect people in the real world.

I think the saddest part of this whole video is the fact that there's more porta potties at the event than there are people
father and son productions I seen that still can’t believe that insane !!!
@@MariaOrLex Hey, at least noone had to deal with bathroom lines or really nasty potties.
Clearly a much bigger success than Fyre fest 😂
So much better to be over prepared..
Bc they wanted to have a place for the Aliens to go potty !

@Exigent Circumstances they did actually cross the line tho
@Exigent Circumstances 😂😂🤣👏🏾👏🏾
The media got trolled. That needs to happen wayyyy more
Have you heard of this guy called ZOGNALD DRUMPF THE BAD ORANGE NADZEE MAN WHO IS LITERALLY SATAN (apparently)? Yeah he's the best media troll of all time. That's why they fucking hate him. And because he called out the pedos who many of them work with/for.
@Kyle Noyb the tolerant left lol
Coffin Feeder he’s not wrong tbh.
@@Zenapprentice he is wrong though. Trump does stupid shit and his supporters chalk that up to trolling. Any of the mountain of stupid shit he says is "trolling". If he says he wants fill a moat with crocodiles and snakes, the media covers it and his cult says he's such a master troll instead of asking what is wrong with this man and why is the leader of the most powerful country in the world is saying stupid shit. It's a get out of jail free card that no one else is afforded. No one except his idiot supporters understand why he gets such a free pass.
@@N4CR meanwhile Trump was close friends with Epstein. But no, everyone else are the pedos 🤦♂️
If you don't think a random guy with a Norwegian accent living middle of no where in NV is not a alien , we got a lot to talk about!!.
At what minute?
German accent if sth lol
Thought he sounded like the Terminator!

I'm Norwegian n I do feel like an alien were I've grown up in Canada. Makes sense.
The real joke is you paid $1000 to go to a 40 person party 😂😂
The real joke is they paid 1k to park on public land...AKA free for 14 days public land..
xD
"I feel like im getting swindled."
DUDE YOU ARE. And from my end, it was hilarious.
I hate the internet because thoughtless comments like this are the ones that get attention. There were more than 40 people and they paid 1000 for something that almost 1,000,000 watched, even you..
They made that back easily with just posting this video
the real joke is the people marking "going" or "interested" on facebook. it means NOTHING.
I don't know man, there was a guy in Mexico who made a birthday party event for his daughters Quince and a couple of hundred people actually showed up.
Did anyone ever think it did??
looks like u don't book shows
@@danielq.4371 Yea because that's drastically different than storming a military base.
@@danielq.4371 we don't believe you haha
The fact that a bunch of 12-25 year olds trolled the media into thinking there would be thousands of people at Area 51 is HILARIOUS. Please, keep doing this.
It's sad. It's like Rachel/Caliente threw a massive party with a huge spread and nobody showed up.
Old comment
only american media
This is how we used to crash websites back in the day when everyone who was involved was in “anonymous”. In the early days of 4 Chan before it became a plethora of animal porn and racial slurs and eventually got shut down organizers used to call for “armies”. Said armies would then visit the target website and refresh the page constantly for an hour or so until the site crashed. We usually went after malicious sites or ones that would get publication but we never hurt the little people like in Rachel. There’s a difference between trolling and destroying someone’s life simply for a stupid joke and that’s something that todays generation just doesn’t understand. And I know I sound like a grandpa and I guess I am at thirty witnessing the troll age birth but I just had to say it.
@@mikeo5003 that’s one of the most ignorant things I’ve heard lmao typical yank. It was all over the news in Canada and Mexico and even in Europe. God your fucking naive.

Well, it wouldn't exactly boast well if it got out that the military was shooting down unarmed people, it's fine if they do it in other countries apparently. When they come home their seen as heroes, but heroes of what?
At the same time I think that, the government works for the people, not the other way around, who told the government that they can keep secrets from us? Start wars without asking us first? You know. But clearly people have been gradually pacified, to the point where the government and corporations just took all the people's power away from them, while keeping an illusion going that the people still have a say. This storming of Are 51 being a failure is a good example of how people have been too pacified that they can't even storm a base, meanwhile in other countries people have stood infront of guns and were shot down by police and military without hesitation, all for the sake of the cause. Americans arnt patriots, they can't even put their lives on the line for what's truly right.

Vice: "It was just a bunch of people hanging out and having fun"
Vice's title of the video: HOW A VIRAL MEME ALMOST DESTROYED A TOWN.
tru 😂
The event has done great damage to our town. Not in the way we feared, but by deeply dividing the residents into those who profit from the event and those who are opposed to it because it is just not a good fit for our normally very laid back community.
CLICCCKKKKK BAAIIIIIITTTTT
For real.
What a bunch of bs.
They’re trying to mess up a fun thing that hurt no 1 @ all.
A bunch of nerds went and had fun but let vice tell it and it’s another border town filled with cannibals that’s about to invade.
Lol Vice is straight turd now
Like every Vice video or article.
This does actually have the potential to be a great festival… with the right people organising it.

Exactly 💯
It wouldn't even be possible in the first place. There's like 10 miles between the fences and even being close to the base. It's not exactly a matter of dashing and jumping a fence, this is one of the most secure places on the planet.
This is why the aliens roll up their windows when they fly by our planet

Classic.

Thanks for your comment XD
Love the narrator. He’s very real, acknowledging that the media was there to capitalize on suffering.
"Almost destroyed a town"
Is that media clickbait to help recover money spent to do nothing in the desert...?
Why yes it is!! :DDD
You call ot clickbait, but the residents of Rachel, Nevada really did not want the raid, or Alienstock to happen. And there is a lot of drama in the aftermath of Alienstock.
@@timetochronicle Rachel did rise to the occasion to capitalize on the situation.
Iris Trismegistus Iris Trismegistus Riiiiiiight, so objectively nothing remotely close to destroying the town.
More like “How a Viral Meme Caused Mild Amounts of Drama for a Shithole Town of 30.”
To be fair, I woulda still clicked.
Well it's Vice, what do you THINK
The real event was Zeke destroying a non-stick pan with his steel spatula. What a f**king monster.
and slopping runny eggs all over the rented RV cause he kept waving the dripping spatula around while he talked, lolol.
@@rundoetx I was really annoyed as well, watch your eggs dude, jeez.

yay~ I wasn't alone watching that.
As a Chef I found that part very very insulting and I wanted to hit the back of his head 😅😅😁😁
“Almost destroyed a town” pretty sure you took a meme and overcomplicated it
If she got paid and backed out on him, then she still has the money. I'd not consider it town destroying on his part if the money doesn't trickle down from her pockets. She's the one holding the cash.
This is actually the spin-off from the true story
WhisperingShade seems like he’s the one who backed out bc they wanted more money(he and his event producer)
@@iprobablywontseeyourreply.7193 It was a mix of people I think. Doubt it was fully in his court from the get go, seems like everyone in the line wanted more money out of the event except the net trolls that started the idea.

@@memyselfmandy9630 Don't forget the big chunk of egg that dripped into the stove. That kinda happened while he was waving the metal spatula around.
glad I'm not alone in seeing and thinking that
I appreciate you
thank you
The key difference seems to be people here actually had fun, whereas people who went to Fyre Fest didn't.
precisely
True!
Truth.
17:08 Thanks for joining in with them in exactly the proper nerd-form. It’s just about goofing off and having fun. It was considerate of you to let them have that fun, without degrading it, even in post and editing. Real classy of you. The entire event is just goofy and in good humor, and there’s no need to bash it.
I still find it hilarious they got the media to pay $1000 for a pass when the guy who started the event switched up last minute lol. The cringe on this video and just whole situation as a whole is tremendous.
Yes but in the end they made a documentary that got 3m views which I’m sure paid off
Isnt it a public area, so no fee required.
Those aliens were really hoping to be saved, better luck next time.
mission in progress boys
We’ll get em next time

The ADHD energy of the dude in the camo pants talking about 'The Selfish Gene' is goal worthy, the way he went straight to "do you guys lift?" precious
its another meme
The way he just keeps saying "Naruto" in a Japanese accent is hilarious, this guy is a fucking legend
This guy was literally memeing the whole time I could see it in his face 😂 he's either a redditor or a 4chan boi.
More like MDMA energy
I like the self reflection of the reporter when he said that this time the media was scammed, not the people that wanted to attend like at the fyre festival. Self reflection should be used much more in media and documentaries :P Good job
It's worse that they were expecting everyone else to be scammed!
"Do you guys lift?" how to casually end a conversation

I doubt anyone would shoot and risk any sort of backlash, also everyone knew something could happen so I doubt there were anything that could be considered dangerous or of value at Area 51 that night.
STILL overhyping: "Almost destroyed a town."
Haha sooo true
Ye lol only reason I clicked
Bro, Vice invented clickbait
Did you hear the commisioner say they spent 250k on this? This is a TINY town.

the guy at the end was the best '' i still dont really know what a meme is, and i dont really care" hahahah
I feel the same way about that "are we alone" question. Humans got enough issues to work on ourselves without trying to establish communication with extraterrestrials.
I'm with That Guy on that part 100%!
Bunch of nerds running like ninjas dressed up as aliens
Happiest day of my life
@Never broke Again its a great time to be alive dude!
@Never broke Again u been getting high again dude
@Never broke Again as i said in a previous comment it is a great time to be alive
Shuttup Derrick
I remember the meme, the signatures, when the guy started the event, the interview with the guy who initially created the meme and the warnings from soldiers and police. I just thought it was all called off and nothing ever transpired from it. This is crazy wtf...
Damn Gandalf must have never quit the pipe weed he looks toasted in the thumbnail.♥️🐸
LONGBOTTOM LEAF!!
The German guy talking about "some 20 year old yahoo" 😂
When you've twice as many port-a-potties than participants, your event is a failure.
At least they stay clean. You can reserve one with your name.
At least youll take a comfortable dump. 😂
If you have equal amount then I would say that is a fail too, or an upper class tea party.
Looked like 3-4 times more than the people
You know a meme is good when it nearly causes a catastrophe
You could literally put your name on a porta potty and have a private “bathroom”
I just love how the guy at 21:03 made a rap about killer whales attacking trainers. 😂
Any idea who it is?
anyone know his name?
@@Atheyst i neeed to know
What's even more hilarious is the one woman who tried to vibe with the beat too 🤣
fuck please message me if anyone finds out, that actually sounded good
Did y’all see that Mercedes Benz at 15:01 with the 28” rims
life goals
was looking for this comment... thanks for not letting me down
JoeShhhhmoe it’s actually at 15:01
Literally just rolled by on the screen as I saw your post 😂😂😂💥💥💥
Wonder how many clowns fit into it. I've never seen a clown car that large.
the sonic boom dude im fuckin dead 😂😂😂
Saddest thing was him trying to cook an omelette
Trey O'Driscoll metal in teflon, awkward half scramble half om, and the uncooked egg dripping off was the last straw for me. Vice is officially canceled
I hate to be an asshole, really, I do, but how fucking hard is it to cook an omelette?
Mmmmmmmmmm raw eggs mixed in with cheese!
i thought it looked perfect. i like mine fluffy like that but always end up with a pancake
They were camping. Im.sure they were roughing it
I wanted to yank that metal spatula out of his hand and put a silicone one in it! But, alas, you have to scratch up your first skillet and see the rust in the groves to learn this. NARUUUUUUTTTOOOOOOOOOOO run
"Did you see them aliens?"
"No we didn't see the "M aliens"
But they saw the O Aliens

Ope
"What better death can there be than dying for a meme?"
Love that quote.
The final talk with Connie was so ironic when hearing the phone call earlier.
I think the most interesting thing is how desperately we as humans want to be apart of something together, and feeling the reciprocity.
It's why people believe in a loving god. The reciprocity thing is why I dont.
"What better death could there be than dying for a meme 👍🏻" lmao 😂😂
Tho the event “failed” (especially for the media) I think alienstock was probably a more fulfilling experience for a lot of people. People actually made friends and had fun, they especially followed through with the meme. I feel the event that was held in Las Vegas was more for normie who just wanted to get drunk off their ass and party.
couldnt have said it better myself, i really enjoyed the whole thing
yeah, it actually looked pretty awesome... not too many people, but awesome and interesting people that want to have fun out in the desert.
do ou know if they are planning to do it again next year?... i think somebody mentioned the possibility in some video i saw.
Nicole Fryman people “made friends”??.... losers 🤦🏼♀️
@@vapidrabbit198 yea i believe there are plans for an Alienstock 2020, only time will tell
following through with a meme is as pointless as those dumb challenges. as seen here
The news reporter saying “let’s see them aliens” absolutely killed me
Attendance was close to 3000. My band played and had an amazing time. It was a showcase of the Las Vegas and DIY music scene. I was directly involved in the organization of our portion of the event (we were a side stage). It was a fun time, it was a beautiful place to visit, and a great joke on the media who came with their whole story already written weeks beforehand. Also Maddy Roberts is a greedy little baby who cared more about money than about the music or the meme. He called reporters to tell them the event was canceled. Never was canceled, but lots of people thought it was since it was on the news. That made it very difficult for us to book bands since they had booked other gigs for that weekend because they read in the news that it was canceled.
Yeah that guy came across as a bit of a douche....especially when he kept saying how dangerous it was. Anyone heading to the desert surely knows to take everything they need like water and food so where was the danger coming from? And then he had an area 51 party in Las Vegas? That's fucking stupid and pointless....what a douche. Good on you for helping pull it together for some fun times, annoying about the misinformation making bands hard to book though.
Me and my friends went everyone was extremely friendly we even got an extra room at the atomic inn
When we arrived to the spot which was in Rachel (3 hour drive) it was disappointing because everyone was huddled in their tents from the cold the most people did was stand around and take pics or stand by the sign to look cool. The guy who started the event didn’t even show up he just went to Vegas instead lol. In the end we met a lot of cool folks from all around and got to explore Death Valleys beautiful town (Betty I think ?) and pet donkeys
Wholesome asf
My whole life been just getting lost talking to weirdos. Can't complain
@Fallen OffTop 🙄
I feel like there's more media than people.
Tecpaocelotl Castillo yeah don’t want an usurping to happen hope they make a preview of the joker movie too how it almost started another shooting
Isn't it GREAT to see it BACKFIRE on the CORRUPT POS DISGUSTING Media ‼️ You know that they went there HOPING that some type of HORRIBLE TRAGEDY would occur SO they could get a JUICY story OUT of it ‼️ Maybe, even LIVE coverage of a FEW bloody DEATH'S ❓ After all, WE'RE fully aware of what SCUMBAG'S they are 🤬‼️
@@jacappy111 not just the everyone want to witness someone get shot for being this stupid rushing into a US military base uninvited will get you killed
Had to like and sub after finding out they spent $1k JUST on media parking... You guys are seriously dedicated. Love your vids!!!
The whole Naruto thing cracks me up 😂
The fact you can see a trail of dust rising behind them is golden
That is just sand.
czxs saz it's actually a really good running form apparently, stops wind resistance
Juno's lesbian Fangirl Nah it’s just sand and that running slows your speed. Do it normal running would make you fast
Why? I prefer a comedy show personally. Or the larpers in the park that's pretty hilarious.
This proves that a lot of people don’t stick to their word when it means doing something more than liking a Facebook post
We are living through our phones
Cally this comment should be reviewed by cnn vice and every major news, you speaking the truth
My friend and I are in the video around 14:00 and 17:41 I am the guy in the cat girl shirt and red wig. I said I was going, I went. Where were the rest of the 2M who said they would go?
Ghostus Coyote exactly, 1 in 2,000,000 showed up, imagine how many people are missing out in life out of the 7,000,000,000
@@ghostuscoyote i went too but went the first day at 3 am fuck all the assholes who said they were going n didnt
there really is something to be said about that, the people that really showed up were looking for a meaningful experience and they got exactly that
If they'd only known this would be the last festival. Ever.
I'm just watching this like
"How much weed did these guys do before running like an anime character around area 51" lol
