it's so funny how the criteria for what's a true story or not changes. It'll be like "5 year old Johnny was lost in the woods and came across an ancient native american witch doctor who turned into a grizzly bear but Johnny fought off the bear with his bare hands" and Jonathan is like "This really happened. Children have been lost in the woods." And the next is like "Just after losing her mother to cancer, a woman was walking in her late moms favorite meadow and found her wedding ring she lost 50 years before on a branch" and Jonathan is like "This is a fake. The ring was only lost 25 years ago and it was in the summer"
I’m surprised that fact or fiction never (to my knowledge) included the story of Frano/Frane Selak, the “world’s unluckiest man” who is arguably also the world’s luckiest man. He survived a train derailing into a river, a bus crash that landed in the river, being blown out of a crashing plane, his car catching fire twice, being hit by a bus, a head on collision on a mountain cliff road and avoiding the 300 ft drop, and winning the equivalent of 1.1 million USD in the lottery two days after his 73rd birthday. That’s a story that I think totally fits the style of the show.
i think that story would be great, but just think about the amount of production to shoot all of those scenes even if you pieced them together quick, like i feel like the guys at fact or fiction knew they couldn’t shoot that story
Fun fact: the wedding ring story has a scientific explanation (haven't reached the reveal yet, but regardless). It's a phenomena known as spontaneous welding and sometimes happens in space. Basically, due to their atomic structures, when two metals touch they should actually fuse. The reason they don't is because the air oxidizes the outer layers and those oxidized layers stop the fusion. On Earth it's massively rare and would only happen if two metals scratched each other in a very specific way and removed enough of the oxidized layer. It's more of a concern in space where there's no atmosphere and the oxidized layer can wear away over time and usage. Some people think this has caused a couple of hatch jams but there's a lot of doubt because even if space, it's very rare.
This cracked me up! I used to work in a titanic museum and the number of people who claimed to have relatives who missed their sailing on the Titanic would have filled about three Titanics
It’s especially funny because White Star kept records of all passengers who bought tickets and should have been on board, even the third class passengers, so it’s always easily debunked lol
meanwhile my best friend was named after her titanic survivor great aunt, and they have a whole page on a titanic survivor wiki so I confirmed that shit with a single google lol
I'm from Belfast, so, according to themselves, everyone here has a great granda or second uncle or someone who apparently helped build it. Like, if that many people were actually involved in the construction of the Titanic, every other industry in the country would have collapsed.
@@irishalchemy don’t be so doubtful; I’m sure this grandparent probably sold a piece of bread to the midwife of the wife of the construction worker’s cousin-in-law, therefore reducing family stress and allowing the ship to be built.
I love fact or fiction because it will claim that people surviving one disaster only to die in a different one is a lie you are a total fool for believing, then insist ghosts are real.
This person survived a hurricane. Then survived another. It’s not true, we made it up. This other person talked to the spirit of their great great great grandmother who told them the future. This, of course, is true.
I found the story unbelievable because how and why would this story get out? Are we supposed to believe that the couple who had the story told to them survived and just told someone else “hey, the couple we were with also barely escaped the Lusitania by having their wedding rings fused also died here. And that’s it, that’s the story.” I guess there are weirder “true” stories that also were told for some reason, so I can see where you’re coming from.
the woman being upgraded to first class is presented as like one of the strange occurances that helped her survive but wouldn't she have been a lot safer staying in coach since her upgraded seat put her right next to the gaping hole?? i haven't watched the answer yet so i can't tell if it's a plot hole or just weird lol
I’m assuming she had a window seat there indefinitely and would have died as well. And the upgrade, the captain, the flight attendant, the fake message were all indicators that fate was on her side. That it was her “lucky day”
On the parrot, some types of parrots can sound exactly like the person they're mimicking. African grays are extremely good at that. My family had one, and he kept fooling my mom when he'd call her in my dad's voice. It got so she wasn't sure if she should answer or not because she didn't know if it was the bird. He also mimicked my laugh and had one of my sisters wondering why I was laughing so much in the other room, only to find out he was the one doing it. That story would be more believable if it was an African gray, or an Amazon parrot.
That's definitely the sound of a parrot! Parrots (as well as corvids like crows and ravens, not to mention the lyre bird) are really good at mimicking and even learning words and phrases. Much of the time they're just copying the sounds, so when they say words back they sound almost just like the person teaching them. This story was fake, but you can look up parrots that sound creepily human. I love them!
I love watching videos of parrots (usually it’s African Greys) using Alexa devices. They can use them to control the lights and play their favorite songs. They can be shocking with how human they sound. Cockatoos, macaws, corvids, mynah birds they all can sound just amazingly human.
Lyre birds are insane at mimicking sounds. There's a few videos of them in the wild making car alarm sounds, chainsaw noises and even the sound of a camera shutter.
My mom once knew someone who's mom had a bird that would sometimes imitate her calling for him like he was in serious trouble and it was so spot on he'd run over in a panic only to find the bird just chilling lmao. I've also had birds greet me and say bye (one also learned and started saying my name lmao). My mom has a parrotlet and he doesn't generally sound as human as some birds can, but he imitates her laugh perfectly. He also knows when to laugh, too. He recognizes jokey tones and that when we talk like that we often laugh after, so sometimes if we say something playful or crack a joke he'll laugh. He also once landed on my shoulder, looked at me, and said "I love you" and he'll also ask for a kiss, make the kiss sound as you kiss him and he kisses you, and then go "thank you" lmao. I also know a bird that will exasperatedly tell the other bird he lives with to stop screeching lmao. I also love when parrots have like distinguished middle aged British lady or gentleman voices, as specific as that sounds. It's also hilarious when they have that Elmo voice.
My mom trained a parrot that we had for a while after she(mom) died, after a bit i realised that the kiss sounds the bird makes are copies of my moms kisses
I can't believe Fact or Fiction straight up showed the Hindenburg disaster footage. Like for a documentary I'd get it, but we were having a nice jaunt with their fiction story, the wiplash! And then Jarvis looks at beans!!
That part in the volcano story where the guy said “when I” and then said “clickity clack” then said “when I” in the next sentence, he obviously forgot his line and they actually kept it in. That’s fuckin crazy. I love this show so much.
I'm an avid fan of Air Disasters and Mayday and the plane crash that one story is based on is probably United Airlines 811 which experienced explosive decompression after a cargo door opened at altitude. Nine people were killed when they were sucked out of the plane. The crew managed to land the plane without any further loss. It took the families years to get proper justice for the accident. Side note: None of the people I've ever seen interviewed about that accident tell a story similar to this.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I read about that event fairly recently and the depiction in the show couldn’t have happened because it’s not like the people that died were ripped out if their seats. The floor of the cabin for those affected rows got ripped out of the plane. So it wouldn’t matter if she were buckled in to her seat or not. If she was in one of those 10 affected seats (I think it was 10?), she’d still be pulled out of the plane. Also, that event was only 10 years before Beyond Belief was on tv. It seems kind of scummy for them to make a segment like that. Feels disrespected to the people that died so horribly.
@@Annie_Annie__ I believe some people not buckled in were sucked out of the plane, while some rows of seats blew out entirely. I think there was at least one occurrence in that incident of someone being sucked out but their seat being left behind. Agree on the insensitive part though :(
Exactly what I thought, it's almost certainly a heavily embelished version of it. I recall from the Mayday episode that the captain decided to leave the seatbelt sign on because there were thunderstorms ahead and that this may have saved a lot of people, and so I wonder if this was somehow twisted by this show into supernatural intervention.
I think one of the craziest things about that episode was that there was an aviation lawyer on the plane purposely going on vacation to get away from work. He ended up with a ton more work and a traumatic experience.
Never watched one of Jarvis’s Fact or Fiction videos before. Saw the thumbnail and immediately thought, “Is that Rip Taylor” and I watched the entire video to figure out if it was Rip Taylor lol needless to say I’m hooked
Yes! This really had the most whiplash and was one of the funniest episodes I’ve seen so far! The jokes added by chat and Jarvis was just icing on the cake!
My auntie had a parrot that did something like that but a bit more morbid. After her husband called Ian died, the parrot kept saying where's Ian afterwards. So she had to get rid of the parrot.
Right at the end, there was a credit to somebody named "Skip Schoolnick", and that is just hilarious. Not as funny as Beans, but still, it seems like somebody who is ashamed to work on the show taking a fake credit.
Airships and Blimps are both under the category of "dirigibles" meaning "steerable" while a hot air balloon would be a non dirigible cause you kinda just float where the wind takes you. Airships are either semi or fully rigid meaning they have a sort of supporting skeleton. On the Hindenburg the outer lining is just a protective shell that protects multiple gas bags inside that are strapped to an aluminum skeleton, this is how most airships were build. A blimp has no such rigid body and is basically a gondolla suspended from a big balloon, it retains it's shape via the internal pressure of the gas. Blimps are way cheaper to build but also way more fragile (like a balloon) but they were used for spotting purposes for a few decades. Nowadays there are only a dozen blimps left and all of them are used for advertising. The number of active airships is 0. Fun fact the aluminium used in the Hindenburg were (in parts) the remains of the airship R101 which crashed on the night of the 4th to 5th October 1931. One could say that these two disasters were what caused the end of the civil airship era but I think it had more to do with the fact that a Hindenburg ticket cost massive amounts of money while offering little actual amenities (to save weight) compared to for example, a first class ticket on an ocean liner which, while slower also offered you the peak of luxury and was way cheaper. In that regard they went the same way as the concorde did, a high tech piece of national pride few people could afford and that went out with a bang.
i remember in primary school they played us this dramatisation of the lucitania sinking and honestly i’ve never seen anything more terrifying since why would they do that to us
when i was a kid (born 2000) blimps used to fly pretty often, i used to call them fishies, i’ve always wondered why they aren’t so common anymore, i guess they’re expensive, but only 12 in the world??? that’s insane!! i miss seeing blimps i think they’re so cool. in the playground at school i’d see airplanes and helicopters and hot air balloons and blimps and it was always so cool to me how they are just up there flying. big sky fishies.
I get so hyped whenever Jarvis posts a fact or fiction video here bc I never make it to stream. I love this dumb show and Jarvis' reaction to the ep we watch.
About the name social experiment thing, I get creeped out at work, where I wear a name tag, when people I don't know call me by my name, I'd probably cry if someone did that on the street lmao
If you think Beans Morocco is a fun name, wait until you hear about the man who has the original Michael Meyers mask, he was the guy who played Meyers in the second film and the android assassin constructed to help facilitate the mass murder of halloween mask buyers as a part of a "pagan" ritual involving microchips, stonehenge shards, and a subliminal television broadcast (also that broadcast makes snakes manifest not only in your home, but in your body if you have the stonehenge microchip mask on) in the third film because they only intended there to be three movies and really the third was pretty ill concieved so I wouldn't be shocked if that wasn't initially planned to be part of the canon. Anyways, his name is Dick Warlock.
One of the producers on Fact or Fiction is named Skip Schoolnik There's a film director named Flamarion Ferreira who directed my favorite bad movie, The Christmas Tree
For the plane story: There was a case of a flight, I believe an Aloha Airlines flight, in which much of the middle-front of the plane’s body was torn away from the plane mid-flight after a cargo door, which was not locked into place, blew open, causing a depressurization of the plane and the body to blow off. Most of the passengers survived that. I believe that’s what the story was based on. There are multiple videos on UA-cam about it and pictures of the actual plane after the event as well.
"I was holding on for dear life" *barely gripping arm rest while her other arm is blocking her eyes.* if that's holding on for dear life then I hold onto my phone for dear life every time I use it.
I’m studying in Journalism and Media Studies at my Uni and we’ve talked about the Hindenburg a lot. We have a vintage newspaper from 1937, and your misconception about how deadly it was is very common. The photo from the wiki articles (The Hindenburg on fire) was very wide spread, as was the death toll. It made it seem like it was an extremely deadly event, like the challenger, and was broadcasted live on the radio.
I knew it was the Lusitania! I’m so mad I wasn’t watching this live. Because the second that someone said Titanic I was like Nah, it’s the Lusitania. And it was!
Same! They said a spring day in 1937 and I immediately clicked the Hindenburg and as soon as they said they were celebrating their 22nd anniversary and I did the math, I knew it had to be the Lusitania 😂
Jarvis this episode reminds me of a show called Eerie Indiana. Its a very interesting and strange show about this teenager who moves into this town that has a bunch of crazy things happening in it. I would definitely recommend it if you can find it.
OMGOSH *that’s* the name of the show I was thinking of! Haha thanks it’s been bugging me for ages - for some reason we had it broadcast here in Australia when I was a kid 🤷🏻♀️ lol. And yes btw you’re so right! Like Twin Peaks for kids ha. Thanks again for the memory jog 😆👍
being late april '24 seeing the plane one and everyone making their jokes about how unrealistic this is but now thinking about that boeing incident with the plug i feel only a little bit nauseous haha obviously nobody would have thought something like this would have happened...
My maternal grandmother insisted I call her "grandmother" and her husband "grandfather". She is pure evil and ironically the only grandparent I still have alive. The rest were all good and had many normal names (pawpaw, Nana, Poppie, ect)
you hearing about the Hindenburg and then looking it up and learning about it is me. I read the wiki, watched the video, and then a full video explaining the entire build of the airship, the amount of people, and even why the Hindenburg was made out hydrogen and not helium. It was very informative and better than any history teacher could have taught me lmao.
I'm so hyped to watch this because you mentioned in your dhar man bingo vids that your watching another fact or fiction episode I've been waiting for you to post this also can we talk about how the women in the plane story looked like the home alone mom
This was one of the best episodes yet as for the fact or fiction stories. Also the one with the titanic stuff feels like it could be a Wes Anderson film
I really don't think you have to worry about showing footage from the Hindenburg disaster of all things, especially considering they used that same footage in the actual show
This Robert Tralins guy reminds me of an amazing book I read, if you're into ancient history and wild conspiracies, I highly suggest reading Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries by Kenneth Feder. He's an archaeologist who goes through debunking things like ancient aliens with archaeological evidence. Racism is a big topic as well since a lot of our prehistoric conspiracies can be traced right back to it.
9:36 I looked up the details of the sinking of RMS Lusitania during ww1 may 1915 and found: “[Germany] had declared the waters surrounding Britain a war zone, which included the Saint-Georges canal, which the Lusitania was navigating. The U-20 was therefore within its rights to sink the vessel. And, while the British didn’t have the right to transport ammunition on a passenger boat, it was common practice. They didn’t think they were putting the passengers’ lives in danger,” he said. “Hidden inside the holding were 4,200 boxes of ammunition for small arms, 3,250 shell percussion fuzes, and 1,248 boxes containing 5,000 shrapnel shells. There was also 46 tonnes of aluminum powder (dangerous if it is exposed to water because it releases hydrogen, which when combined with the air’s oxygen, creates an explosive mixture).”
I have worked in news and digital marketing including SEM blogs. Nobody has ever said, “Clickity clack. Work, work, work.” But we love a War of the Worlds type beat. Just terrifying people who “came to the stream” late and didn’t hear it was a fictional story with a whole lotta foley ARTISTRY in the background
"they didn't even add film grain!" Oh, Jarvis, you sweet young boy. I remember watching these when they first aired, and on my _massive_ CRT (probably smaller than your monitors) they didn't have to add film grain. The terrible signal did it automatically! 😂🍍
I comment this every time I see one of the fact or fiction videos, but my mom’s best friend actually went to college with Johnathan Frakes. He was in a play and she was the stage manager, and there was one scene where there was a quick change and she had to rip off his pants and help him into a new pair. Growing up, me and my mom always watched this show, but we could never do it without one of us bringing that up 💀 stand up guy though. She said he was super nice and chill and working with him was a great experience
43:49 this happens when you work costumer service and you have to wear a name tag. Every day I get strangers calling me by my name and I hate it. If I come back I’m asking for a different name tag.
I can't find a source for Krakatoa being named Pralape by the indigenous people that isn't from those conspiracy theory websites. Krakatoas name is also believed to have it's roots in the local cultures too. I could be wrong but "Pralape" just from the look/sound of it seems more Greek then anything else. So if I had to guess, some guy made a fictional story about a volcano, heard about Krakatoa and claimed he had a prophetic dream about it and that his story was that dream.
This show just casually adding historical disasters to their stories is just the more sinister version of "and that student was Albert Einstein"

I think it would break TOS because it burns up and could be classified a terrorism(?) or just a dangerous action
The video literally had people dying. That's why it would be against tos, not cuz it's a historical event
@@chickenalpaca0332 idk the same would go for like 9/11 footage and that’s all over the place
Also that huge explosion that happened like last year that killed many people those are all allowed ?
jarvis' "beyond belief" voice around 1:30 was SPOT ON omg
Airships and Blimps are both under the category of "dirigibles" meaning "steerable" while a hot air balloon would be a non dirigible cause you kinda just float where the wind takes you.
Airships are either semi or fully rigid meaning they have a sort of supporting skeleton. On the Hindenburg the outer lining is just a protective shell that protects multiple gas bags inside that are strapped to an aluminum skeleton, this is how most airships were build. A blimp has no such rigid body and is basically a gondolla suspended from a big balloon, it retains it's shape via the internal pressure of the gas. Blimps are way cheaper to build but also way more fragile (like a balloon) but they were used for spotting purposes for a few decades. Nowadays there are only a dozen blimps left and all of them are used for advertising. The number of active airships is 0.
Fun fact the aluminium used in the Hindenburg were (in parts) the remains of the airship R101 which crashed on the night of the 4th to 5th October 1931.
One could say that these two disasters were what caused the end of the civil airship era but I think it had more to do with the fact that a Hindenburg ticket cost massive amounts of money while offering little actual amenities (to save weight) compared to for example, a first class ticket on an ocean liner which, while slower also offered you the peak of luxury and was way cheaper.
In that regard they went the same way as the concorde did, a high tech piece of national pride few people could afford and that went out with a bang.
empire of the clouds
i remember in primary school they played us this dramatisation of the lucitania sinking and honestly i’ve never seen anything more terrifying since why would they do that to us
Fact or Fiction is probably my favorite thing Jarvis does
when i was a kid (born 2000) blimps used to fly pretty often, i used to call them fishies, i’ve always wondered why they aren’t so common anymore, i guess they’re expensive, but only 12 in the world??? that’s insane!! i miss seeing blimps i think they’re so cool. in the playground at school i’d see airplanes and helicopters and hot air balloons and blimps and it was always so cool to me how they are just up there flying. big sky fishies.
Everytime I hear that fact it seems so fake to me like there has to be more than 12
I get so hyped whenever Jarvis posts a fact or fiction video here bc I never make it to stream. I love this dumb show and Jarvis' reaction to the ep we watch.
Jarvis has got that cinematic trailer voice on lock.
About the name social experiment thing, I get creeped out at work, where I wear a name tag, when people I don't know call me by my name, I'd probably cry if someone did that on the street lmao
Crazy that the plane story actually happened again recently
'I was practically raised on that video' THE HINDENBURG?????
Chat's really out here questioning why no one's fact-checking in a late 19th century newspaper.
If you think Beans Morocco is a fun name, wait until you hear about the man who has the original Michael Meyers mask, he was the guy who played Meyers in the second film and the android assassin constructed to help facilitate the mass murder of halloween mask buyers as a part of a "pagan" ritual involving microchips, stonehenge shards, and a subliminal television broadcast (also that broadcast makes snakes manifest not only in your home, but in your body if you have the stonehenge microchip mask on) in the third film because they only intended there to be three movies and really the third was pretty ill concieved so I wouldn't be shocked if that wasn't initially planned to be part of the canon. Anyways, his name is Dick Warlock.
I cannot even begin to disect this comment
One of the producers on Fact or Fiction is named Skip Schoolnik
There's a film director named Flamarion Ferreira who directed my favorite bad movie, The Christmas Tree
They towed my hindenburg
For the plane story: There was a case of a flight, I believe an Aloha Airlines flight, in which much of the middle-front of the plane’s body was torn away from the plane mid-flight after a cargo door, which was not locked into place, blew open, causing a depressurization of the plane and the body to blow off. Most of the passengers survived that. I believe that’s what the story was based on. There are multiple videos on UA-cam about it and pictures of the actual plane after the event as well.
"I was holding on for dear life" *barely gripping arm rest while her other arm is blocking her eyes.* if that's holding on for dear life then I hold onto my phone for dear life every time I use it.
you cover your eyes every time you use your phone?
jarvis laughing at pictures of beans made my day
I’m studying in Journalism and Media Studies at my Uni and we’ve talked about the Hindenburg a lot. We have a vintage newspaper from 1937, and your misconception about how deadly it was is very common. The photo from the wiki articles (The Hindenburg on fire) was very wide spread, as was the death toll. It made it seem like it was an extremely deadly event, like the challenger, and was broadcasted live on the radio.
So happy this channel is posting vods again. I missed this happiness.
Jonathan Frakes not ending the Hindenburg story with “or are we full of hot air?” is the real disaster. 😔
"What a harsh cut - I expected more of a transition"
Yeah, because that's probably where the commercial break went.
I knew it was the Lusitania! I’m so mad I wasn’t watching this live. Because the second that someone said Titanic I was like Nah, it’s the Lusitania. And it was!
Same! They said a spring day in 1937 and I immediately clicked the Hindenburg and as soon as they said they were celebrating their 22nd anniversary and I did the math, I knew it had to be the Lusitania 😂
Jarvis this episode reminds me of a show called Eerie Indiana. Its a very interesting and strange show about this teenager who moves into this town that has a bunch of crazy things happening in it. I would definitely recommend it if you can find it.
OMGOSH *that’s* the name of the show I was thinking of! Haha thanks it’s been bugging me for ages - for some reason we had it broadcast here in Australia when I was a kid 🤷🏻♀️ lol. And yes btw you’re so right! Like Twin Peaks for kids ha.
Thanks again for the memory jog 😆👍
being late april '24 seeing the plane one and everyone making their jokes about how unrealistic this is but now thinking about that boeing incident with the plug i feel only a little bit nauseous haha obviously nobody would have thought something like this would have happened...
upon googling it was even the same kind of plane omg
My maternal grandmother insisted I call her "grandmother" and her husband "grandfather". She is pure evil and ironically the only grandparent I still have alive. The rest were all good and had many normal names (pawpaw, Nana, Poppie, ect)
you hearing about the Hindenburg and then looking it up and learning about it is me. I read the wiki, watched the video, and then a full video explaining the entire build of the airship, the amount of people, and even why the Hindenburg was made out hydrogen and not helium. It was very informative and better than any history teacher could have taught me lmao.
jarvis's laughter is so contagious i end up laughing all the time at things i usually would not find that funny
the pure joy jarvis got from beans morocco made me so happy
This is one of the funniest vods so far 😭😭😭 Im so happy we’ve been getting so much Jarvis lately
I'm so hyped to watch this because you mentioned in your dhar man bingo vids that your watching another fact or fiction episode I've been waiting for you to post this
also can we talk about how the women in the plane story looked like the home alone mom
This was one of the best episodes yet as for the fact or fiction stories. Also the one with the titanic stuff feels like it could be a Wes Anderson film
I really don't think you have to worry about showing footage from the Hindenburg disaster of all things, especially considering they used that same footage in the actual show
the airplane one was literally just the beginning of Final Destination lmao
Frakes out here like "Did the grandfather transfer his spirit to the parrot?!?"
This Robert Tralins guy reminds me of an amazing book I read, if you're into ancient history and wild conspiracies, I highly suggest reading Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries by Kenneth Feder. He's an archaeologist who goes through debunking things like ancient aliens with archaeological evidence. Racism is a big topic as well since a lot of our prehistoric conspiracies can be traced right back to it.
Jarvis, stop being so adorable all the time!!!
Obsessed with whoever was practically raised on the Hindenburg explosion video
54:34 is the funniest thing I've ever seen, I literally had a single tear fall down my face 💀
Jarvis has general peter parker vibes
I've been DYING for more fact or fiction omfg
"...and an additional fatality on the ground."
You gotta feel bad for the one guy on the ground that got hit damn
Those rings are Megan Fox and MGK's dream
These are my favorites! So glad to see a Jarvis commentary on this one in particular.
Jarvis, your giggles give me LIFE
We had to watch many videos of the Hindenburg crashing in middle school
9:36 I looked up the details of the sinking of RMS Lusitania during ww1 may 1915 and found:
“[Germany] had declared the waters surrounding Britain a war zone, which included the Saint-Georges canal, which the Lusitania was navigating. The U-20 was therefore within its rights to sink the vessel. And, while the British didn’t have the right to transport ammunition on a passenger boat, it was common practice. They didn’t think they were putting the passengers’ lives in danger,” he said.
“Hidden inside the holding were 4,200 boxes of ammunition for small arms, 3,250 shell percussion fuzes, and 1,248 boxes containing 5,000 shrapnel shells. There was also 46 tonnes of aluminum powder (dangerous if it is exposed to water because it releases hydrogen, which when combined with the air’s oxygen, creates an explosive mixture).”
I have worked in news and digital marketing including SEM blogs. Nobody has ever said, “Clickity clack. Work, work, work.”
But we love a War of the Worlds type beat. Just terrifying people who “came to the stream” late and didn’t hear it was a fictional story with a whole lotta foley ARTISTRY in the background
"they didn't even add film grain!"
Oh, Jarvis, you sweet young boy. I remember watching these when they first aired, and on my _massive_ CRT (probably smaller than your monitors) they didn't have to add film grain. The terrible signal did it automatically! 😂🍍
7:20 JARVIS 🤣“Well I’ll be, those r rInGs.” 💀😭🤣 I CANT W YOU
I comment this every time I see one of the fact or fiction videos, but my mom’s best friend actually went to college with Johnathan Frakes. He was in a play and she was the stage manager, and there was one scene where there was a quick change and she had to rip off his pants and help him into a new pair. Growing up, me and my mom always watched this show, but we could never do it without one of us bringing that up 💀 stand up guy though. She said he was super nice and chill and working with him was a great experience
43:49 this happens when you work costumer service and you have to wear a name tag. Every day I get strangers calling me by my name and I hate it. If I come back I’m asking for a different name tag.
these are always fun, but this specific episode had me cracking tf up fr. you’re appreciated, j!!!
Jarvis, thank you so, so much for doing more Fact or Fiction. I missed it!
Thank you for this. I literally live for your videos and I. So glad you're doing the live ones again!!
Jarvis is really good at impersonations! I cracked up when he was doing Don LaFontaine
elmo p is how i sang the alphabet in Kindergarten
Wow cant wait for the next ace attorney series with Tom Virtue
OH MY GOD WAS THAT AN ACE ATTORNEY REFRENCE!?!?!(!(
Tbh if a random old man gave me a chest with a very underpriced lamp id def not touch that shit, theres a body or crime evidence in there
Everyone losing it over the names of the people in the flea market episode had me lmao.
I'm so happy these fact or fiction videos are back ☺️
Rip Taylor
Tom Virtue
Beans Morroco
THE HOLY TRINITY
All the passengers turning around made it feel like a scene out of the movie Smile haha horrifying
man the airplane story was literally the first portion of the first final destination movie, down to a portion of the plane being ripped open
I feel like the show What Would You Do? would be a fun watch on stream!
The ”how much you got” man looks like dr. eggman
Came for the laughs, stayed for the man made disasters
Thanks to the Hindenburg tangent my search history is now terrifying
Jarvis cracking up makes me laugh so hard
im screaming i read Violet's autobiography I love her so much.
I can't find a source for Krakatoa being named Pralape by the indigenous people that isn't from those conspiracy theory websites. Krakatoas name is also believed to have it's roots in the local cultures too. I could be wrong but "Pralape" just from the look/sound of it seems more Greek then anything else. So if I had to guess, some guy made a fictional story about a volcano, heard about Krakatoa and claimed he had a prophetic dream about it and that his story was that dream.
Laughing at silly names and forgetting your own name is Jarvis Johnson
