viral videos. >> oh, my god, what happened? what happened to that guy? >> uploaded daily. >> everybody wants to see stuff that goes slightly awry. >> ma? >> viewed by millions. >> how could this not go viral? >> but looks can be deceiving. >> a lot of people were debating "is this real, is this fake?" >> you're my wife? holy [ bleep ]. >> how could he not remember who his wife is? >> coming at you. oh, my god!" >> did he just say "yeah, caught
1:01 pm
a bird." >> we'll let you in on the truth. >> fake, that's my impression of everybody on youtube. fake. >> 21 seconds. extreme sports videos. they leave our hearts pounding and adrenaline pumping. >> i think that we love these extreme videos because you're kind of living through them without actually having to risk your own life. >> when it does doesn't go well there's some of that element of jackass, like, oh my god, i can't believe what happened. >> and no one can believe what happens in this next video. >> you see this high bar spinning on the edge of this cliff and this guy is hanging from. >> it as we all know, base jumping has gotten pretty boring these days so you need to do things to make it more exciting.
1:02 pm
>> and he is flipping around. now, one might think that the setup crew would make sure that that high bar was extra sturdy. so as he's flipping, suddenly the high bar just up and collapses. >> and you're just kind of wondering is he falling to his death? you don't see. >> it oh, my god. what happened? what happened to that guy? >> the base jump gone bad leaves millions on the edge of their seats hoping that the video is fake. >> well, this could easily be faked. the cliff could have a level right below it that we haven't seen so even if it did break maybe he just fell two feet. >> there's something about the guy's reaction that makes me think maybe this is fake because i don't understand why a guy who just saw his buddy fly off a cliff doesn't even get up. >> i thought this was definitely real. this is the kind of thing that the people who go base jumping are just crazy enough to do -- set up a high bar to make it even scarier. >> it's a very exciting demonstration of newton's laws. >> well, sir isaac would be
1:03 pm
proud. we've got another camera angle showing that the terrifying tumble is, in fact, legit. the stunt gone wrong is performed by base jumper richard henrickson for the norwegian television show "normal madness." >> a lot of viral videos speak to our deepest instincts of wanting to see something but almost wince organize peeking between our fingers and i think any sort of video that taps into that can be very powerful viewing. >> have no fear. that other angle reveals henrickson surviving the nearly 4,000 foot fall. luck hi, he keeps his composure, opens his parachute and lands with barely a scratch. but it could have been much worse. henri henrickson's head comes within inches of slamming into the rock face. and seconds later, the apparatus comes crashing down, narrowly missing the base jumper. >> after this, they probably all had a little talk about what we could have done differently. people make mistakes, but this
1:04 pm
is a big mistake. >> you don't have to be on a mountainside to risk life and limb. you can be in your own bedroom. >> hi, guys, it's drew here and i am back with a hall video. >> today i'm doing a black friday hall. >> hey, guys, what's going on? >> so i have this entire bag my parents through me a surprise party. >> hall videos are a shopper trend known to rake in millions of hits. >> a hall video, not h a-l-l. h a-u-l. >> they call them haul videos because i think they've hauled bags of stuff home. >> it's just a form of validation. creating a haul video makes them feel good about what they've acquired. >> in september, 2013, a bizarre haul video surfaces and leaves viewers shopping for answers. >> what's up, guys? like i said before, i'll get it
1:05 pm
fixed. i know. >> we have this guy with a sort of a biker stash thing going on. >> if you guys like knives, i buy a lot of knives. this one is called the wizard knife. >> the wizard knife, of course, yes. everyone knows that wizards have a different kind of knife. >> look at that handle. it's sick. >> i've been wondering where in the depths of ebay he found that knife. >> and i bought a 500 -- >> you know something is going to happen but you don't know what it is yet. >> 500 rail -- >> hopefully, he lives in the top floor of his building. >> ma? >> i'm kind of getting the impression, oh, god, he's just shot his mother in the room upstairs. >> but did he? >> ma? >> my first reaction was real. it's within the realm of possibility that something like
1:06 pm
this could happen. >> it just seems like he's awfully relaxed about the whole thing which led me to believe that it was fake. >> not enough stuff falls down from the ceiling and i know that when you shoot a ceiling a lot of stuff comes down because i've shot quite a few ceilings. college, man. it's college. what are you going to do? >> ma? >> don't worry, mom is okay. the video is 100% fake. the trigger-happy trickster is comedian jess weber. >> i love doing standup. i love doing improv and writing sketches. >> to get his name out, jess creates a youtube channel calling weber's way. >> we just make up funny stories, do skits, stuff like that. we try to make fun of every situation that we see on tv and the internet. >> jess decides to take on the haul video genre with a bang. he grows a mustache and compiles an arsenal of weapons. >> the gun i add in the beginning was just a pellet gun. the knife is actually a wizard
1:07 pm
knife. i did buy it at a flea market like 15 years ago. the shotgun is an air soft shotgun. it's compressed air that shoots a plastic pellet. >> jeff uses an intricate method to create the ceiling debris. who are we kidding? it's done with a tv antenna and some paper towels. >> i had the antenna come out like this and i would tape paper towel like that and i had bits and pieces of paper towel on top so when i shot the shotgun, the pellet would hit the paper towel and all the pieces would fall down. >> but the makeshift special effect has a few kinks. [ bleep ]. >> i would shoot it and nothing would come down. nothing? what the [ bleep ]? >> jess perfects the system and it's time to roll on the action. >> ah-ha! that's how you do it. >> everything was improvised. it took four or five takes to get it right. >> after about an hour of shooting, jess nails the
1:08 pm
performance. he adds some finishing touches in edit. >> i did the muzzle flash. i put that in. the smoke, that's all fake. and the sound effects for the gun and the sound effects for hitting the ceiling and making that sound of it crumbling down. >> jess uploads the video to his youtube page and soon it's the shut gunn blast heard around the netter. >> this is kind of one of those you have to watch it videos. it's either going to be funny or horrible but either way i'm watching it. >> everybody wants to see stuff that goes slightly awry. >> ma? >> and, bam, it just happens and surprises you. >> viewers fire off comments debating the validity of this haul video gone bad. >> some people say oh, that's fake. all the people that said it was fake, guess what? you're right. there's you go.
1:09 pm
i got most of you. ma? >> coming up, the catch of a lifetime. >> coming at you. >> oh, my god! >> or is it? >> it's so baller. then he just holds it up like -- i'm expecting a building to blow up behind him. >> later, can this possibly be legal? >> i had a couple of relatives who were upset and thought "he's gone too far." >> when "caught on camera, viral videos true or false" continues. all the way until... the am. new aleve pm the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour strength of aleve.

1:12 pm
hunting requires a keen eye. but many can't believe their own eyes when they see this video. >> oh, my god! >> what happened? >> i just got that on camera. >> we open with a guy in hunting gear just kind of walking in a field and you see this bird going right for this hunter.
1:13 pm
>> coming at you. >> oh, my god! >> all of a sudden he's caught in the his hand. >> it's so baller. you just caught a bird in the air and then he just holds it up. i'm expecting a building to blow up behind him. >> it is probably one of the manliest things that was caught on camera. >> but is it too manly to be true? >> i feel like birds have better instincts than to be caught by a human hand. >> he's a little too cool and collected about it. if i caught a bird i'd be like what? what? i caught a bird. >> and he's just like "yeah, i caught a bird." >> unbelievable as it may seem, the man with the cat-like reflexes is totally real. >> why does this guy even have a gun. he clearly doesn't need a gun. he just needs his hands. >> the hunter is pastor matt carter of the austin stone church in austin, texas.
1:14 pm
matt's church has more than 7,000 members, including nfl quarterback colt mccoy. >> he started coming to my church here in austin and we just developed a friendship. >> in may, 2013, colt and matt publish a book called "the real win." >> we talk a lot about what it's like to be good husband and good father. >> the co-authors those the great outdoors to film a hunting and fishing companion video series for the book. matt's 12-year-old son j.d. tags along for adventure. >> it was great bonding time for me and my dad. we had been quail hunting the whole day and we were pretty much den. >> they were trying to get just some kind of reflective b-roll of matt walking through the field. >> suddenly an unexpected guest star makes an appearance. >> i looked up and i saw this quail flying right at me. >> coming at you. coming at you. >> my dad shifts the gun to his left hand -- >> and i just instinctively threw my hand up and caught.
1:15 pm
>> it oh, my god! >> i just got it on camera. >> sweet catch. >> believe it or not, what went through my head was "i just did something my grand kids are going to talk about." >> if i hadn't seen it with my own eyes i would have never believed it. >> that was cool. >> no one is going to believe this. no one. i don't believe it and i'm watching it right now. kind of my first reaction was when we realized one of the camera guys caught it on film was man we've got to get this on youtube. >> after a quick photo shoot, matt freeze the bird. days later he uploads the video with an ad for "the real wind" at the end. soon he finds out a bird in the hand is worth millions of hits. >> it's not everyday you reach out and catch a bird. of course it will go viral. >> you will never see someone catch a bird with their hand like that. and a reaction so understated and bad ass. this is not even once in a
1:16 pm
lifetime. it's earth time. it will not happen again. >> copies of "the real win" fly off the bookshelves. >> people walk up to me and say "you're the bird guy." so i've gotten notoriety for it. >> but book sales and internet fame aside, the video has done something more special. >> i already thought highly of my dad. i mean, he's a pastor, an author, my football coach and now that he's -- his video has gone viral i think even more highly of him. it's awesome. now let's go even deeper into the wild. online viewers bear witness to a video that leaves them pawing for answers. >> it starts without a guy who's left his gopro out on a river. >> the gopro camera shoots really high definition videos, it's really compact in size. makes it affordable and also concealable. >> this one bear approaches the camera and all of a sudden the
1:17 pm
gopro is just in his mouth. >> you get a very, very closeup view of what you would experience if you were being eaten alive by a bear. >> what we learn from this is that a grizzly's mouth is absolutely disgusting. it's gross. >> eventually, the grizzly loses interest in the gopro and looks for another snack. so are we witnessing a real wildlife moment or is this not your average bear? >> this one definitely fake. i mean, you can tell these are people in bear suits. and someone who has raised grizzlies from full grown. this is fake 100%. >> actually. the bear is real. but is the situation a setup? how on earth does the gopro get the inside story on those huge chompers? >> i feel like he had to have put something on the camera to make it want to eat it that badly. >> did he smear salmon on it or some gravy? side of beef? >> incredibly, no bait is used.
1:18 pm
the video simply captures a bear who's ready for his closeup. >> we know what grizzly bears' favorite food is now -- expensive electronics. >> the grizzly man who scores the once in a lifetime shot is naturalist guide brad josephs. >> i guide photographers and film crews to see, view, photograph and film bears. >> for more than a decade, brad has conducted those tours on the alaskan peninsula. >> they come together in great numbers because of the food source. it's definitely the best place that you can go to see bears up close. >> and that's a rare sight these days. poaching and habitat loss among other issues put the majestic grizzly bear on the endangered species list. >> on the alaska peninsula they haven't been hunted and it's very remote so we can get into areas and see bears up close. you just can't do that anywhere else. >> in the spring of 2013, brad 1 leading a tour of photographers when he decides to set up his
1:19 pm
gopro camera. >> i knew a stretch of bear trail that intersects the river. it's a great spot for the bears to leap in and try to get a fish. i place the gopro camera on a rocky area. i didn't want the bear to see the camera. i wanted to get its natural behavior. >> brad moves about 50 yards away to keep a safe distance. he soon gets more than he bargained for. >> the mother frames herself perfectly, turns around, looks over, sure enough the cub comes and follows her. the cub is bored. it looks straight down in the camera. then the bear decided to taste it and chew on it. my heart sank because i thought uh-oh, we just lost another gopro. >> after giving the gopro a serious tongue bath, the cub moves on. brad grabs the camera and is relieved to find in the one piece. >> picked it up, looked and, oh, my gosh, it was still recording. i couldn't believe it when i saw it and i've seen every piece of
1:20 pm
bear footage ever filmed. i said wow, i've got it special here." >> brad uploads the video with his youtube page with the intriguing title "a gizly ate my gopro." a catchy title usually helps. it caught people's attention. >> including the intention of skeptics who can't bear the fact the video is legit. many are convinced brad lured the cub to his viral debut. >> one of the reactions that i often get when people view is this "wow, what did you put, honey on the camera or something?" of course i didn't. that first of all is illegal. second of all, if you give a food reward then they can become very dangerous. >> "a grizzly ate my gopro" becomes wildly successful, gaining millions of hits. >> i think it went viral because it was kind of fun to see the inside of a bear's mouth. i don't know who can say they've gotten that close and lived to tell the tale. >> i just hope that it grabs people's attention enough for them say, you know, bears are a really neat animal, we need to protect them to keep them
1:21 pm
around. cocoming up -- >> watermelon in 30 seconds or less. >> is this guy really a cut above the rest when it comes to watermelon slicing? >> it's hot, it's summer. people want their watermelon and they want it now. >> when "caught on camera, viral videos true or false" continues. i have the worst cold with this runny nose.
1:22 pm

1:24 pm
>> one watermelon, 30 seconds or less. >> a man purporting to be the fruit gin that vices and dices his way to viral stardom. but how fast can you cut up a watermelon. >> his friend is taping jim? this is the mack joan cut a watermelon in 20 seconds challenge. >> it's hot. it's summer. people want their wall watermelon and they want it now. >> watermelon in 30 seconds or less. >> he's me almost a zen state of concentration where he's like he's got it. he has the power of the watermelon. >> you're at 10 seconds. >> i was just imagining his fingers getting chopped off.
1:25 pm
>> you cut in the 20 seconds but you also lost a few fingers. >> 21 seconds. >> that seems like a machine can do that job better than a human until we met this guy. it's pretty sure no machine that has skill. >> it leads many to wonder if the human cuisinart is not quite what he seems. >> i can think why people might say oh, it took him 40 seconds and they sped it up. >> we're used to a suspension of disbelief around food preparation more than other types of videos. we understand that when someone puts in the cake pan and pull out the cake there's a pre-made cake in that oven. >> others think the melon man's skills are pure talent. >> i had no doubt whatsoever about this man. i saw hero right from the get-go. honestly, if it were fake i would be devastated. i would be heartbroken so don't you dare tell me it's fake. >> let's just doubt the chase.
1:26 pm
>> i'm matt jones and my video of me cutting a watermelon in 21 seconds is absolutely real. >> matt and his buddy curt emerson work in the produce department of a grocery store in orlando, florida. to make the time pass and have a little fun while making fruit salads in bulk, they create a friendly competition called a case race. >> a case race is where you taken a entire case of fruit, be it cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries and what you do is you try to cut that case as fast as you can. >> he's got his cutting board and knife and i got my cutting board and knife and we both start going and the last one to finish loses, obviously. the winner gets absolutely nothing so -- [ laughter ] it's just fun. i have gotten so close to beaten matt but he always finds a way to beat me even if i'm ahead. >> once you've done it thousands of times it becomes like clockwork. it's just second-hand nature. >> thousands of times? and matt still has all ten
1:27 pm
fingers? >> i have not had any accidents at work cutting fruit but i have had an accident outside of work cutting fruit at a party, made a big mess all over the table. >> word gets out on matt's quick-cut heroics. >> i told my friends, man, you should see i can cut a watermelon in less than 30 second. and they didn't believe me so at work i told curt take my phone and just film me doing one of these watermelons real fast. >> you're at 10 seconds. i said sure i'd love to see you fail. 21 seconds. >> it was originally intended to show friends and family when i got home. >> they thought it was awesome so we put it on youtube. overnight it blew up. it had five million hits in a few days. >> over five million views on this thing. 30 second long video. that would be, what, 2.5 million minutes of human time watching this guy cut a watermelon. >> you're at 10 seconds. >> many step 21-second challenge
1:28 pm
as fact but think they can beat the time. >> this is first attempt at a speedy watermelon culting. >> soon no watermelon is zblaf the general principal of one up manship is the engine of the internet meme culture. it's, oh, that's impressive but i can do it better. >> darn! one, two, three, four, five! >> i kept going "watch out for your fingers. >> this is already going pretty bad. >> it made matt's video look better. >> this is how to cut a watermelon in, like, three hours. >> so far, you know, nobody's really beaten it. as far as i know 21 seconds is the quickest youtube has to offer right now. >> well, we here at "caught on camera" aren't satisfied with that. not only do we want to see this feat of human achievement with our own eyes, we want matt to shatter his own youtube record. >> safety and sanitary first.
1:29 pm
>> ready? and go. 19.9. a new record. >> that's a "caught on camera exclusive. 19.9 seconds, beating my old record. coming up -- >> thanks everybody for coming out to the no underwear subway ride. >> do these commuters really bare it all? >> people barely like that put their hands on a subway pole let alone their naked butt cheek on a subway seat. >> when caught on camera viral videos true or false continues.

1:37 pm
next level. >> we had a good group of volunteers that were willing and accepting of the idea of appearing to not have any underwear on in the subway. everybody was required to bring their own flesh-colored underwear. >> that enabled us to blur the footage after the fact. making it seem like people were riding the train completely naked. >> charlie and company know it takes a lot to shock new yorkers so they take steps to make sure they get the reactions they want. >> i had some actors in on it so they would give more over-the-top reactions to fit with how you might actually react. >> if you look closely, you can actually see that disgusted commuter without undies moments later. but not all the strap hangers are plants. >> i'd say maybe 40% of the reactions in the video are actually just regular riders who, you know, we filmed with a hidden camera. >> one of my favorite reactions is where one of our performers is sort of leaning over a subway

>> the other 89, -- 9,999 iphones are made with an mission. >> we shoot with the actors on the set. we go through and add in cg elements. >> these markers were intentional. we can create a path of where we want the dominos to travel. we've populated the entire shot with proxy geometry representations of what an iphone looks like and at a later stage we can take the kubs and replace them with high resolution iphone geometries. >> the whole scene started much like the other shots. we shoot a clean plate so we get the elevator and actor in context. we add in the cgi to make sure the lighting is matching correctly. we blur the background a little bit to sell the fact that the iphones are here and de-emphasizing the background. for the big finale of the video we set a camera up very high and very wide and we see the wave of

1:52 pm
that's what the car crash is. there's this little like treat at the end. >> can kids this cute really be this naughty? >> i could picture two boys being bored, their mom says "go play outside" they decide to take a trampoline and, you know, try and jump over cars. >> i think it was fake because i doubt a car would continue driving when they see a little kid on a trampoline getting ready to jump over it. >> well, it does seem like one of those stupid things that kids might try. as kids, we don't really think about the consequences of what we're doing. >> well, we've got the little scamps here to give us the truth. >> hi, i'm mitch. >> hi, i'm sven. our video was a fake. >> if 14-year-old mikael and his 15-year-old sven look familiar, it's because this isn't the first time they've tried to fake us out. the table cloth trick gone wrong

is a viral ad created for the gop vaudeville theater in germany. >> you could compare to cirque du soleil in america. >> the video is an internet juggernaut gaining more than 20 million hits. the video's directors, norman krueger and dominick junker brainstorm another misadventure for the duo. >> it had to be more extreme. it had to be bigger. so i thought about this car crash. >> but before they create the big smash, the guys add legitimacy by filming a series of other trampoline stunts. >> jumping over a dog. jumping into a swimming pool. jumping over a cow. >> everything up to the car is real. >> it's like that long con. if the first three or four videos seem very real and are real you have to believe the last one is real, too. >> for the finale, the
1:54 pm
directors lock down the camera. >> set the camera and don't move it the whole day because you make different shots and you can combine them in post-production. >> first up is mikel jumping on and off the car. instead of a vehicle, he leaps on to garbage cans which are approximately the same height. pallets are added for more traction. >> next up, the guys shoot the first car screeching to a halt. >> it took five, six times before we have the car in the right position. >> the driver exits the vehicle. the crew leaves in the place and then sets up for the climactic crash. >> we had one try because then the car was crashed.
1:55 pm
i said, norman, you have to drive much faster than you think you should because we have only this one shot. >> and so 20 kilometers per hour into the car. >> it was everything i wanted. >> with filming complete, norman and dominick start editing. they layer the three shots on top of each other, isolating mikel and removing the garbage cans using a complex process called compositing. >> compositing has to be done frame by frame so it took a lot of time. >> the guys launch the clip and viewers jump at the chance to watch mikel and sven's latest exploit. >> people just want to share this mess unfolding. you know good can't come from jumping on a trampoline on to a car and then, of course it doesn't. >> internet detectives scoured the video for clues to fakery and catch a mistake. can you spot it?
1:56 pm
>> look at the shadow of the car in the moment of the crash. it doesn't move. i thought no, no! how could we be so blind? >> mistake aside, the trampoline trick just adds to the internet legend of mikel and sven. and it looks like that legend will live on. from crafty kids to a spacey spouse. let's face it, when you've just had surgery, you probably don't want to be trending on the internet. >> oh, my god. ow! >> there is this whole genre now of people coming out of anesthesia and the strange things that can happen. >> it's one thing to act loopy. but is it possible to have absolutely no memory of your spouse? >> my name is candice. i'm your wife. >> you're my wife? >> yeah. >> holy [ bleep ].

>> this guy has just woken up from surgery. he's really hazy and groggy. >> he's apparently talking to his wife. >> and all of a sudden he's gushing over this lady. >> man, you are eye candy. whoa. you're the prettiest woman i've ever seen. are you a model? how long have we been married? >> a long time. >> oh, my god. i had the jackpot! >> this is the most frustrating video in the world because she never flips the camera around. >> whoa, your teeth are perfect. >> i want to see the jackpot! >> turn around. [ laughter ] >> no! >> it's a good thing he was saying how beautiful she was instead of, like "oh, man, you're my wife? this is what i settled for?"
1:58 pm
>> did i get you that ring? >> uh-huh. >> damn, i must have been really liking you. >> the hazy husband goes viral and makes wives swoon around the world. >> i think this probably went viral because it's the opposite of most things you see online which are cynical and awful and being mean. >> damn, have we missed yet? [ laughter ] >> it was just an adorable video people wanted to share because it made them feel good. >> but is it tu too good to be true? >> a lot of people were debating, is this real? is this fake? and trying to gauge whether this could actually happen. >> how could he not remember who his wife is? you know, he didn't, like, fall off a horse and forget who everyone was. >> do we call each other baby? >> my first impression was that this was real? he does look like a guy coming out of anesthesia. it just seemed like a very genuine moment. >> well, it seems genuine because it is. >> you just can't fake being that high. the best actor in the world,

daniel day lewis could not fake being that high. >> we get to meet the prettiest girl in the world when jason morgenson and his wife candice stop by the "today" show. >> how is it that you began taping it? >> he had been acting like that for 20 minutes before i pulled out my phone so i finally realized i need to get this on video so he can see how he acts. >> jason, do you remember any of this as you watch it? >> no, and i've had surgeries previously and i guess i've been a weirdo during all of them. thank goodness she had the sense of mine to pull this out. >> there are people who have questioned the authenticity of this and we talked to your surgeon and he says while it's unusual, some people can have this reaction. what do you make of the reaction of skeptics out there. >> he genuinely didn't remember a thing about that when i showed time video. >> this guy scored major brownie points with his wife and major brownie points with women all over the world. >> oh, my god!
