The baby-stealing eagle and the twerking girl who caught fire: just how did these viral video fakes fool the world?
Once you realise they're fake, you wonder how you didn't see it sooner
WERE you fooled by the video of the heroic railway worker who saved a drunk man's life?
The amazing footage sent viewers into a spin as it seemed to show a truly death-defying moment... only it then turned out to be fake.
The train was actually edited, so no-one's life was ever really at risk.
If you're feeling swizzed then things are about to go from bad to worse, because here are some other viral videos which weren't quite what they seemed.
Lonelygirl15
Early YouTube fans will definitely remember this lovely lady, who was one of the first vloggers in the business.
Bree Avery was an angsty teen who shared everything about her life online... including the disappearance of her parents.
She was one of the biggest hoaxers going though, as Bree was actually an actress called Jessica Rose.
Twerking girl catches fire
Another YouTube classic, who could forget the jolly girl who showed off her dance moves online only to accidentally set herself on fire?
The vid abruptly ends once the flames start, but there's no need to worry about anyone being harmed.
Although it got over nine million views, it was a fake set up by US talk show star Jimmy Kimmel.
Eagle tries to steal a baby
This has to be one of the most famous videos going.
There was uproar when it first hit screens in 2012, but luckily no babies, toddler or birds were harmed in its making.
That's because the eagle and baby were actually 3D fakes created by a Canadian design school.
Cat lady
In a clip which shows exactly what NOT to do when you're looking for love, 'Debbie' dissolved into tears when chatting about her cats in her eHarmony profile.
In news which will probably shock no one, it wasn't real and 'Debbie' was an actress.
