>> so this is a shaving helmet. >> something terrible is going to happen. >> sometimes we like to see bad things happen on the internet. >> that's 7,000 degrees. you're going to blow your skin off. >> i can't believe i'm capturing this on camera. >> neither can we. so let's investigate. caught on camera, viral videos, bogus or bona fide. watch out, kids. >> nfl players are some of the most skilled athletes in the world. >> pull. ready? go. but is this even humanly possible? >> we like to imagine our professional athletes are these sort of super heroes. >> they are put into these

situations where you really believe they're exhibiting these super human feat of skill. >> the videos are part of a web series called fantasy files, promoting nfl.com's fantasy football league. >> right now there's about 30 million people playing fantasy football a year. we want them to sign up with the most authentic place to play, the nfl. >> the video is doing something really clever which is sudden ly re-enforcing the fantasy. the fantasy side of football. >> time to pick me for your league. >> that's why you picked me. >> in 2006 the series launches online. >> pick me. >> within days each video racks up millions of hits. >> it took on a life of its own. it was exciting. >> i watched every one. it wasn't because i was in them. i thought, these are great videos.

>> it's so cool because it does create a lot of conversation. some people believe that it's true. some people believe it isn't true. >> armchair quarterbacks across the globe try to tackle the authenticity of the video. >> my first impression is they're fake. if he can nail a disc flying in the air, he should have a lot more super bowl rings. >> when i first saw this i totally bought into it. completely. >> it doesn't seem that out of the ordinary. they're athletes. why wouldn't they be able to do something like this? >> he would never do something that ridiculous and reckless, because he would completely ruin his season if he injured himself. >> all good points. so what's the official ruling on the field? >> were those real or fake? i think everyone should watch super bowl xlii and watch the catch david tyree made when he caught the ball in a pack of players in his helmet. that's real. they're the best of the best. and there's plenty more moments on the field like that.

>> okay. that's not clearly a yes or no answer. nfl quarterback and star of one of the videos, joe flacco, should be able to take us behind the scenes. >> i would say it was pretty straight forward. i think of the football, they shot the speed out of the air, i threw the football. i just threw them as hard as i could. it took a little while, but it was worth it. it was a lot of fun. i got a good reaction from it. >> so we're not getting anywhere with flacco either. what about tight end chris cooley. >> i showed up and said we bought about 15 sheets of sheet rock from home depot. that's how many takes we have. you probably be able to do it in one. it took 15 takes. by far the hardest part of the video was getting the ball back through the sheet rock. i started to get cuts and scrapes all over my arm. so they put makeup on the cuts on my arm.

but it didn't hurt. >> okay, so cooley is playing defense against doubters, too football fans want to get to the bottom of the real or take debate. many try the stunts out for themselves as parodies flood the internet. >> all right. watch this. >> some were really bad. >> oh! >> the worse they got, the more fun we had watching them. >> very funny. but we still can't definitively answer if the original videos are real or fake. time to bring in the vince lombardi of viral video debunking. alan jamiyan, aka, captain disillusion. >> greetings children, captain disillusion here. i would be willing to stake my reputation on the fact that

these videos are not real. >> here's a highlight from the captain. >> gentleman, i give you nfl fantasy files. chris cooley positions himself behind the wall, but the pass serves as a transition to a shot of him behind the wall where a hole is cut. a he thrust his hands through the hole and elegant animation of dust and debris does the rest. a moment later the football is placed in cooley's hands, and cooley emerges victorious. >> pull. >> and what about joe flacco at >> and what about joe flaco at the shooting range? >> they filmed every element that makes this happen separately. joe throwing the ball, the ball flying there the sky, and the clay pigeon exploding and combined them together to make it look real.

>> all interesting theories, but until we hear otherwise from the source, that is just what they are, theories. we may never have a clear winner in the bogus versus bona fide rivalry. one thing is for sure, the fantasy files are entertaining. >> whether you think it's real or whether you think it's fake almost doesn't matter. >> people like to see other people do cool things. on the edge of being believable or not. man, did he really do that? check this out. 30 seconds. of something that's like, no way. it was really neat for me to be a part of. that's why you picked me. >> coming up -- >> this is the world's longest basketball shot. >> the shot seen around the world.

basketball shots and succeeding. >> they take sick shots to a crazy extreme. >> you just can't believe those some of these shots are possible. >> did that ball really go in? >> this is the laser shot. >> it would be very easy to think that someone could fake this. the ball goes out of the screen, and therefore it must be edited. >> there it is. >> it just begs to be taken as a visual effect. >> it's in the hole. >> so are these great hoopsters or great video editors? >> our videos are 100% real, i promise. i would even bet my grandma's strawberry short cake and biscuits and gravy. >> okay, nobody messes with grandma's home cooking these guys must be on the level. >> this is the airplane shot.

>> the ballers behind the video are five buddies hailing from texas. in april 2009, the guys discover their unique talent while roommates at texas a&m university. >> we were in the backyard messing around. before we were about to go to lunch. ty likes to do one-sided bets where he'll bet if he makes something and if he misses it's nothing. and i bet garret that if i made a shot from across the backyard he had to pay more my sandwich. >> of course, college guys. got to make a free lunch any way we can. >> i took the bet for some reason. >> we were like, there's no chance. >> i threw up a shot from behind the back and drained it.

>> he made it. swished the shot his very first try. >> they can't believe their eyes. >> so we go grab the little picture camera. we'll see if we can get it on film. as soon as we saw it on the camera, that was the game changer. >> we all wanted to top each other. >> crazy shots behind the tree. >> standing up on the roof. over a fence. >> it's in the hole! >> we started filming everything. bigger and bigger and bigger. >> this is the laser shot. >> the guys edit the footage together. but before they decide the posse -- but before uploading it, they decide the posse needs a name. >> the name came about on accident. we were sitting in the backyard and we decided to put the camera up on the rail. he looked through the camera and saw it was perfectly in frame. and said -- >> dude, perfect. >> it's something guys say a lot. dude, perfect. nice shot.

while driving by texas a&m's football stadium, tyler and coby get an idea for their biggest shot yet. >> i looked over and saw how big it was. he said, i really think i can make a shot from up there. and i'm like, bro, there is no way. >> and i told him if he got me in there i would make a shot. >> a few e-mails later, dude perfect gets full access to the stadium. >> we had no idea if it was possible to make a shot from that high or that far. >> but after half an hour of attempts. >> welcome to aggie land. this is the world's longest basketball shot. >> yes! what! >> we just erupt in excitement. >> took my breath away. >> we were really freaking out. >> nobody had ever made a basketball shot from that far before. >> it was the first trick shot taken to absolutely perfection.

in february 2011, a video featuring a sharp new product hits the web. >> all right, so this is a shaving helmet. >> it's a helmet you put on and it shaves your head for you. >> i'll give you a demo. >> my first impression is oh my god. something terrible is going to happen. >> he's agreed to be our test subject today. >> you do not want to be the first person to test the moving razor blade helmet. >> any last words kenny? >> pray for me. >> you watch it like this. >> this is going to be a horror movie. >> blood is going to come pouring from the helmet. >> his head is going to fall off. >> it's going to be a disgusting mess.

>> how does it feel? >> a little strange. >> can you hear that? that's the screams of a million men who have been shaved by this device. >> any nicks? >> amazingly, the test subject's head is in one piece. >> nice. it looks smooth. >> leaving many to wonder, is the shaving helmet cutting edge technology or a razor sharp ruse? >> there you have it, shaving helmet. >> the master minds behind the shave helmet, michael and james, reveal the truth. >> this is a hoax. and it would probably hurt you really, really bad if you tried to put it on and shave your head with it. >> my most drunken stupor i would never wear this. >> james and michael head up think modo, a viral marketing firm in new york city. >> we create videos that ask the question, is this real or not? >> the process of trying to figure out how the trick was done is what engages people. the shave helmet video is a viral ad for a real invention called head blade.

>> head blade is a shaving product for guys who shave their heads. >> head blade is a small company that wants a boost in sales. >> this type of viral marketing is a dream for a small company that wants to get their name brand out there because millions of people go out of their way and actually outright tell people to watch this and watch it for fun. >> james and michael need an outside the box idea to attract the attention of the folicly impaired. >> as someone who shaves my head, i always try to figure out a way how to eliminate the time i spend every morning. what if there was a device like a helmet where you press a button and 20 seconds later you're done? >> mounted on alum numb rails. >> with the idea in place, they hire designer cristo holloway to make the design a reality, or something that looks like reality. >> believability has to be an element. >> the helmet is an existing motorcycle helmet. this control panel has been

painted. the shaving cream was out of aluminum with a brass finish that looks slick. and then supposedly the shaving cream goes through this tube into the blades. on the inside we have the aluminum bar with four razors attached to it. it moves back and forth. driven by the motor. >> so if the helmet doesn't actually shave your head -- >> how does it feel? >> what really happens in the video? >> a little strange. >> let's ask the expert. >> so at this point right here is where i thought they interrupted the take, had a chance to shave the guy's head and put the helmet back on and combine the different take in this camera move, sort of a fancy digital transition. >> nope. more low tech. in a world of digital tricks. this one outsmarts the expert. >> we pull the switcheroo. we look exactly alike. >> james and michael cast up and

coming twins keith and kenny lucas, comedians to star in the video. >> in the ad they actually mention something about being comfortable having your head shaved. i didn't think much of it. >> it said that we would be getting paid, so we're like, sure, whatever, we really need the money. >> with the cast in place, michael and james planned the shoot. >> we had two identical helmets and two identical twins. one did not shave his head. the other was preshaven. >> we're going to switch them out with a part where the camera is off screen. >> and created the illusion that he had been shaved. >> but it's easier said than done. >> this entire thing was shot in a restroom. so the space is super tight. >> the dance has to be perfect when you're doing one take. >> the twins would bump into each other while we had to switch them. >> you don't want to run into someone with a helmet on. >> not a helmet with razors. >> finally after more than a dozen takes they get it right. >> which is what the helmet is doing now.

>> just two days later james and michael upload the helmet video to this the masses. >> then it spreads on its own. >> soon the video has more than a million views. >> one of the reasons this went viral is the fear factor. >> any last words, kenny? >> i know. pray for me. >> the truth is, sometimes we like to see bad things happen on the internet. it's the truth. sometimes we enjoy seeing other people have things go wrong. coming up -- one of the hottest videos online. >> honestly, i thought we were going to get some severed fingers. that's 7,000 degrees. lava is 2,000 degrees. >> and if that's not impressive enough -- >> no. >> i can't believe i'm catching this on a camera. >> we can't either. >> the truth revealed when "caught on camera: viral videos bogus or bona fide" continues. next.

actual science. >> we've never seen anyone withstand heat before our eyes. my first inclination is to think that this were not possible. >> but is it possible? for the answer let's ask the torch man himself. >> this is not fake. this is the real thing. >> tom is a scientist and inventor at the helm of his own research company. called the armor therm foundation. >> we're in the business of trying to create new products for the use of the public. every substance i make we made -- i maid was for the purpose of maintain ing the environment and just keeping people safe. >> some of those inventions include a pepper spray neutralizer, a microwave blow torch, and even his own line of energy bars. >> it's enjoyable to eat. it will give you energy. it will boost the immune system. >> tom's innovations catch the eye of host of the web series "survive and thrive" tv.

it's an all too familiar situation. you park your car, feed the meter, and come back just a few minutes too late. in october 2011, a video spreads across the web chronicling this very scenario, but with a twist. >> you have, it looks like maybe a cell phone camera that somebody sitting in the back of a cab has in new york. >> it looks like an expired meter. they didn't come back in time. >> we see this altercation between a parking attendant. and someone with a van. >> then the sparks fly. literally. >> some guy shows up and cuts off the parking meter. >> there's no way you can get a ticket if there's no meter, right?

meter that was controlling his time. >> the guys need the altercation to seem as real as possible. that starts with the cast. it's key in a viral video to use people who are realistic. >> we use real people. we don't use actors. >> with that in mind, james and michael are ecstatic when she auditions as the role as a parking meter officer. >> i was a parole officer and a detective with the district attorney's office and never served as a traffic enforcement agent, but i've had numerous experience with people that have been noncompliant and difficult. >> and in the role of the saw wielding carpenter, they hire an actual carpenter, eric weis. >> eric was a carpenter who put an addition onto my own home. >> basically he asked me if i would be interested in doing this viral video to promote a movie. i said yeah, sure, what the heck? >> on the day of the shoot, they

painstakingly recreate a busy new york street scene in a not so busy part of the city. the cast and crew gather first thing in the morning to stay under the radar. >> not one person can see us do this. once the photo leaks it would be all blown. they would see it was a hoax. they should show the entire crew, the entire production. >> in another effort to make it look real michael shoots the scene using his iphone from the backseat of a cab. but it isn't easy. >> timing was a a critical issue. we had to rehearse it many times. >> and action. >> on the first take, they encount er a serious setback. >> it took too long to cut through the post. but what we did is i cut through the post most of the way so when we did the cut it just takes a few seconds. >> now it takes half the time. the cast and crew nail the shot. that's a wrap, everybody. >> soon after the shoot they

who balance on a bar usually take it between the legs. let's be honest. >> it was more a case of just trying to get on it and try to focus on getting to the end. i would make it two of thirds of the way down, maybe 60, 70 times. >> danny attempts the most difficult and dangerous trick the last day of shooting. >> danny's been off a little bit of metal, six feet off the ground. landed on concrete. >> by that time i was very physically tired and mentally tired. i had to stay focused to made sure i had the shot. i took a lot of runups. >> he took a brake and just kept doing it over and over again. >> you have to be 100% committed. >> attempt after brutal attempt, and then finally danny pulls off the incredible back flip.

>> it worked out, which was great, but even when you land it clean, you've got stinging wrists and ankles. >> for danny all the pain and hard work is worth it. when industrial revolutions goes viral it brings worldwide attention to trials bike riding and awes millions. >> most of us have day jobs. we're kind of envious of people who get to go out there and do these amazing things and we want to live vicariously through their experiences. >> it's aspirational. it's the reason why we dream so that we can be like one of these guys. >> i feel very lucky to be in the position i am. i get to ride my bike. for a living. i hope to be able to do it for a number of years, yeah.
