I want to start a rumor actually: if you gift 50 individual wrapped heart crystal thingys from the Wedding Event to a villager you can start a relationship with them. Eventually, you can get married but choose wisely because divorce is not legal in the Animal Crossing world
There was a rumor back on GC that if you had high enough friendship with an opposite gender villager they would send you a love letter on Valentines Day. When I tell you the HOURS child me spent harassing my cranky villagers trying to get one 😞
As someone who was there the day that Jacksfilms released the Walbert video, I still can’t believe that anyone genuinely fell for it. The internet will never fail to surprise me
Simple, context voids and stupidity. Not everyone is a 'tuber, and of the billion or so 'tubers on the platform, not everyone watches every channel, so they don't know the context for it's creation. I also still hear stories about people legitimately trying to charge their iPhones using the microwave because of that 4chan psyop from way back, people are stoopid as heyell.
As a longtime Jacksfilms viewer, watching the inception of the Walbert thing and then seeing it actually fool people is hilarious, because I've fallen for stuff like that in the past too. If I'd been allowed to have pokemon as a kid, I absolutely would have been one of the ppl falling for the 'you can find mew under the truck' thing
Back in 3rd grade my buddy Lars told me that if you placed a bomb on the railroad tracks in New Leaf, you could walk on them to the left until you got to a room where you could see a picture of a naked woman. I fully believed him.
Fun fact, the internal name for the gyroid face is 影武者 (kagemusha) which literally means "shadow warrior", it apparently refers to a military leader's body double
just FYI, only New Horizens had an "island" instead of a town. All the other games had a "town" or "village". The Gamecube release DID have an island that you could get to via a GBA to GC link cable, but that was only a very tiny island with one special island villager.
That first one you talked about while forgetting to save after visiting a friends town and getting the gyroid face happened to my brother after visiting my town way back when, it was scary
Happened to my sibling when I accidentally tripped over the GameCube’s powercord when they were visiting my town. They were so traumatized they deleted that villager
The reason gyroid face can’t happen nowadays is because it’d be impossible (or at least very difficult) for the game to if you maliciously shut the game off while in another town or if your connection simply was cut. That and the series sanitization mentioned
plus its a lot easier for your internet to loose connection than to turn the console off intentionally (True that power blips can happen but still less common than internet outages) and it would suck to punish players for turning the internet off due to someone harassing them while in their town or Bad Internet connections
incase you aren't aware, the whole Internet trend of making fake anti-piracy screens for games, started from one CZcamsr's joke of a "Mario Party DS" fake antipiracy screen, and from that video being released, some people went ahead and started doing the same, though typically of different games. If you did know the CZcamsr who started that trend, but forgot him, I will state a few words that may jog your memory: Piracy is no Party
I'm surprised Walbert spread in general for the sole fact that Jacksfilms has done this for YEARS, and he's very well known not to be trusted with those kinds of images lol
I remember that weird house that you mentioned at the end, Gamexplain even covered it at the time, they didn't really say much, since there wasn't much to go on.
Also a few rumors that I heard is that if an animal visits your house in wild world and you mash B next to them, they'd start a romantic relationship with you. Or that if you had a boy and a girl in wild world save for a long time, a baby would eventually appear in your attic.
I remember hearing that in Wild World if you hit the back of Nook's shop with a shovel when it was closed that you'd be able to go in and see TN in his pyjamas lol???
Oh man I forgot about the Leif thing. It got debunked pretty quick so I only really saw it afterwards. I also vaguely remember seeing that "walbert" image but only people joking about it bc its obviously Greta lol
Lol the Leif rumor was 10000% a joke, the person who ran that account was a friend of a friend (of a friend etc i dont remember, basically i knew people who knew them) and it was posted as bait with the account posting other purposefully weird satire roleplay stuff like how the tweet mentioned the seashells to the crush.
About the Switch "brick". Maybe that person really thought their Switch was bricked? When my cfw 3DS crashed for the first time I sure thought it was bricked, especially since the crash screen didn't go away after turning it off and on again, I was too panicked to realize I just had to press A or B and didn't know its brick screen would have been blue instead of black. Maybe they had the same experience with their Switch. No clue about the Yuzu screenshot though, maybe they wanted to show more than just one pic so they pulled it from the internet?
This isn't exactly animal crossing related, but I remember when I was young, about 4 or 5 I think, I remember seeing this video about Minecraft where you could "Make a santa portal to a santa dimension". Little me thought it was real, so I asked my dad to build it ( he was playing Minecraft) It was fake, obviously, but I remember getting SO mad
I quit being admin of an Animal Crossing group because the top admin believed that the Leif corrupts your game thing was real! I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING THIS SO IF YOU'RE SEEING THIS COPE AND SEETHE THAT I WAS RIGHT!!!!
What about the one where having 3 or more bushes in your inventory. I was wondering cuz I don't there very many confirming it actually happened so I've been wondering if it as much of a hoax as that one Leif hoax.
I liked the honesty of this video and it's refreshing to see a video on a topic like this that isn't clickbaity. However, every time you call the town in older games 'your island' it pains me. You only have a whole island in NH.
My friend and I are under the impression that Brewster and Blathers are dating. Because Brewster is the female form of Brewer, generally the term for a man who brews alcohol.
@@zigazav1 yeah. It was still Nintendo back then. That’s like saying that Sony only appeared at the start of the ps1 while ignoring everything else they made.

Lol
You need to do this when they have wedding season on the next game, i’d support it lol
i want to help perpetuate this one lmao this is perfect
Lowkey kinda wish this was canon tho- not on a romantic level, but better friends than you can get. (but im scared what people would do with Ankha)
@@snowneedstherapy yeah i don’t think i wanna know…
I fell for the rumor of bullying villagers to get them to leave. I feel bad now.
My dad did to lol😂
I did too :,)
Wait that doesn’t work??!? Brooo 😭😭😭
Nah idc if it’s a rumor, I’m bullying Harry off my island
I don't. The only ones I bullied I absolutely HATE.
There was a rumor back on GC that if you had high enough friendship with an opposite gender villager they would send you a love letter on Valentines Day. When I tell you the HOURS child me spent harassing my cranky villagers trying to get one 😞
I remember a similar rumor, except it was that it was possible to date/marry villagers.

Same here
lmao ikr

ikr seeing walbert in the thumbnail nearly jumpscared me i was like omg no WAY is someone genuinely talking abt walbert as a real actual hoax

Even though I knew it was fake, and the fact that I played FireRed, I really wanted it to be true lmao
Just wanted that damn Mew
i mean this as a compliment, but you look like keanu reeves if keanu reeves had a youtube channel that talks about a silly animal game
He looks like a hybrid between Keanu Reeves and Markiplier :)

You tricked me so bad the first anti piracy video I felt so dumb lmaooo great job tho

I had to stop watching a lot of the ACNH channels because they kept hammering at Nintendo is going to give us an update.
Guys if you look at the translating at 11:01 you can see near the end it just says “rice field” and than continues their statement
🤣
wait the walbert fake fact spread farther than the jacksfilms community? thats fuckin hilarious
Ah yes, in AC:PG you play on an island. Not a town
Great video, I really enjoy the essay-esque style! :)

I wanna start a rumor that you can glitch out of the cliff limit in acnh and eventually leave the skybox, where you can find some test textures.

I can’t believe wallbert actually fooled people 😭
I really like this video!! You should make more videos like this in future!
The HD Animal Crossing bit with the Amibo Festival slander got me to chuckle 😂😂
i actually found your channel from my anti-piracy screens addiction that i had a couple years back so i guess they’re good for something
Put. Back. Up. That. Pillowcase. It looks so low quality and I love it in ur background.
I love your channel so much!! honestly favourite acnh CZcamsr

When you were talking about creepy stuff you should've talked about aika village
Omg I thought this was Jeff Wittek 😂
Resetti deleting your town isn't a hoax. It actually happens in European copies.
idk who u are but u seem cool so i subbed
you look like keanu reeves
Oh my god the mouse Jacksfilms did
Its crazy that you didnt get new horizons on launch lol
There is two Gulliver’s one is named Gulliver and the other ones name is Guliverrr
Never believe anything... Ever 😆
I've liked animal crossing since 2012 and was active on the subreddit since before new horizons came out... how have I not heard of Walbert
i’ve never heard about walbart that’s so fucking funny 😭
Loved watching the video he was made
I want you to make a Cloud dog kinda also please Choose me.
What about Coco though? Wouldn’t she technically count as like a reference to that gyroid face thing?
meow
I mean Nintendo has been around since the 1800s so yeah they’ve been here as long as gaming
Um saying 90 percent kids and 10 percent manchildren leaves the women out
Nintendo has existed long before video games. Company began in the 1800s

Luigi actually was meant to be in Mario 64 and Nintendo has been around LONGER than videogames :p just tossing this out there
‘Nintendo has been around as long as [video] gaming’ babe the company is from the 1880’s what are you talking about.
I dunno history, but are you referring to back when they made toys and stuff instead of games?
@@zigazav1 yeah. It was still Nintendo back then. That’s like saying that Sony only appeared at the start of the ps1 while ignoring everything else they made.
Clearly, gaming was pretty wild in the 1800s
Man children
Wow. You're pretty rude.
Ok off-brand Markiplier I don't like that
