Please oh please, never use this soundtrack again, it’s awful. It’s tedious, and dreary. Seriously, gather 1 or 2 hundred people, make them listen to the song for 20 min and 99% of them will tell you to never use that song again. I can’t watch any of your videos with this soundtrack
John Oliver just did a feature on McKinsey, the corporation who helps companies with their 'problems.' At one point, McKinsey reps working on the Purdue Pharma account would go with the drug reps to doctor's offices to help assuage any concerns the doctors had about writing OxyContin prescriptions. Purdue Pharma paid them millions for this service.
Volkswagen was busted because West Virginia University was doing their own research on emissions and noticed the differences in their own testing, and figured out what was going on. Public university research is important and should be fully funded.
Similar circumstances led to the Ribena scandal. Prior to that, it advertised that it had quadruple the vitamin C content found in oranges. Two Kiwi students conducted an experiment and found the claims were untrue.
I hate when big companies knowingly do shady illegal stuff and then “I’m sorry we did that” no you’re not sorry you did it, you’re sorry you got caught

I feel like the Ashley Madison hack should be here. I feel like a lot of people forget that happened.
It's so forgotten watchmojo couldn't remember it.
Too bad such leaks don't happen all the time. Let the sunshine into the dark corners of the web.
Certainly haven't forgotten about the SeaWorld Scandal, Johnson & Johnson, Purdue/opioid crisis or Nxium.
There's a show (the second) about the Sacklers and a high profile documentary about Nxium. WM is just trash now
They never let Michael Vick forget about his dogs, nor did they ever let Ted Kennedy forget about Mary Jo; it's a large reason why he never became POTUS.
No one should forget
Teddy would have gone to prison if his last name wasn't Kennedy ..... There was hanky panky goin on that weekend...
@@wutafungi sad but true. Poor Mary Jo...
So you're saying that he might have been elected POTUS , but for Mary Jo .... WHY ..? .. Because of his last name ..? ..
I’m still eagerly waiting and watching to laugh my butt off when the tail end of karma comes for Vick! 😂😂
Even though it's "scandals that were forgotten", somehow I feel like WatchMojo would find a way to slip Danny Masterson in there
I once thought Johnny Galecki and Danny Masterson were the same person.
@@OH_MY_DOGGGReally? They look nothing alike.
@@owie4070
I think they did in the 90s.
I thought. Isnt Hyde from that 70s show The same actor as David from Roseanne?
And always “The Slap” 😂
Right 😂
I feel like it would be hard to find anyone not impacted by the opioid crisis. It’s changed so much of the modern medical landscape. I personally have had friends and family members who become addicts after surgery. I’ve gone to the doctor in pain myself, been suspected as ‘drug seeking’, only later to find out I had a serious medical problem. A few months ago I had a kidney stone and refused to take pain medication out of fear.
No one has forgotten what the Sackler family had a hand in.
Same thing happened to me. I’ve had legit serious medical issues and in pain and I get treated like an addict or gets pain blamed on anxiety and depression. Medical issue got missed and suffered for years until 3 years ago. Had to go on opiates because of all the damage it did to me. But I’m in pain management since then and the judgement is even worse now even though I’m not an addict. It’s because the medical system failed me and left me disabled. And now I have medical ptsd and have had other serious medical issues since and they treat me like crap even more because just being on pain management. So when I have a medical issue they think I am “seeking” which I’m not and have ended up in many emergency surgeries. The people who need if don’t get pain meds because if the people who abused them. If ruined it for people who genuinely need it to be a functional adult from chronic illness and pain. It’s terrible.
I was a child during the Iran-Contra incident so I was old enough to know it was a big deal but not old enough to know exactly what went down. However, I'm surprised the Ashley Madison hack didn't make this list
It's a little ironic that #13 is about the talcum powder case because my wife is currently one of the victims in that lawsuit waiting to receive her settlement from J&J. She currently has cancer and they were able to prove it was from using that specific brand in the 90s.
I am so sorry. I hope the court rules in your favor.
“Completely forgot about…” that he played football, and participated in dog fighting is all i know of Michael Vick
More than I knew about him.
I don't follow football so never knew he went back to it. It's not something they would point out at the start of every game
10:53 the mistreatment of hundreds of west African children by cocoa/chocolate producers like Nestlé are more forgotten than Foxconn
Was the whole Michael Vick dog scandal really forgotten about? people still give Michael Vick grief for that to this day.
They dog him?
@@OH_MY_DOGGGOooh... nice
“Give him grief” is an interesting way of saying his celebrity status hasn’t erased his accountability or made him a blameless angel
He’s an abuser. He deserves to carry that title for the rest of his life.
@@mc-rn8ro Thank you for proving my point lol
@trayvontruss7912 well he is an abuser so. That like saying people still give pedos grief for their crimes. He should be labeled a animal abuser for life
The baby powder thing is just so ironic to me. They knew their product was carcinogenic but did nothing about it, and then people trust their corona shot? Yeah I don't think so.
Isn't MGM's treatment of Judy something that's always mentioned when speaking of her? How do you forget something always spoken of?
I was thinking the same thing!
Now that their have been documentaries. As a child who saw wizard of Oz, I thought she was a adult, not a teenager. I never knew much about her later career til I saw a documentary
Who could forget The Opioid Crisis & The Sackler Family? Proof in America Billionaires can literally get away with murder.
Shame on Sackler
@@mickie_is_sleeping NO ONE ASKED! STOP SPAMMING THE COMMENTS!
Don't lie, you knew little to nothing about it before you watched the Netflix series.
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231 I first found about it from All The Beauty And The Bloodshed
@@theywouldnthavetocensormei9231Unlike like you I actually watch the news.
The opioid crisis had the Sackler family involved.
And Nan Goldin brought this down and that became the subject of the Oscar nominated documentary All The Beauty and The Bloodshed, it’s a part health documentary, part crime documentary, part arts and style documentary, and part political documentary.
It lost because it’s a health movie and health movies never win Oscars. I think the documentary Hockeyland or If These Walls Could Sing or My Imaginary Country could have been nominated instead
Some of these "forgotten" scandals are either recent or still talked about. How can they be forgotten?
Because the writers at WatchMojo have short term memory loss.
Because the writers assume that you, like them, have never taken a history class
Mick Vick on here not Brett Farve
I can’t see how the scandal of the drugs companies causing the opioid crisis has been forgotten about. Hasn’t there been two high profile tv series recently made about it (Dopesick and Painkiller)?
I think they're talking about media coverage. Most media outlets have sponsorship deals from the companies that created the crisis, so they would prefer to forget it.
It's certainly not forgotten among people with chronic pain who have to fight to get more than 5 pills at a time.
@@Terahnee I think, having left the door open so long, the government have done a poor job of shutting it carefully now people are dependent. In other countries, opiates have never been prescribed for chronic pain.
@@netto6681 and I always wonder what they do instead. Truly wonder. What methods are they using that the US is afraid of or not willing to try?
The funniest about all this is I'm busy watching this video getting ready for work and my phone is lying on top of a bottle of Johnson's and Johnson's baby powder bottle 😂😅
I love how almost everything on the list was so serious & then we have the “terrifying insensitive joke from Guliana Ransic” 😱 about America’s sweetheart Zendaya! How will we go on?
As if family guy or south park doesn’t make 50 insensitive jokes per episode.

Note, while Foxconn is headquartered in Taiwan, it pretty much is Chinese and these incidents all happened in China with Chinese workers.
Thanks for the reminder
Remember when the Panama Papers came out and all that happened was the person who unveiled them to the world got assassinated via car bomb??
What about cigarette companies and polonium? They painted their cigarettes with harmful materials.
Comedians and radio hosts have NEVER for gotten about Chappaquiddick."Er ah...."
I closed all my Wells Fargo accounts. Screw them.
What about Enron?
Thanks for reminding us. Forgotten no more.
I have one 4u. How about footballer Adrian Peterson who said he did believe in gay marriage. Then this scumbag beat his son so bad he left marks on his son's scrotum. The little boy went to go live with his mother. Then beaten to death by mom's boyfriend! My prayers go out to that poor kid !❤
Who's forgotten about the Opioid epidemic? Its mentioned all the time.
As an automotive enthusiast, I have never forgotten About VAG’s Dieselgate scandal. To this day I refuse to recommend any VAG vehicle not only due to the scandal but also because of how poorly engineered their vehicles are.
17:12 he also started the "war on drugs" which really was against... people who weren't... his color...
That wasn't Reagan, it was Nixon that started the drug war. He wanted to lock up hippies and people of colour because he knew he wouldn't have earned their votes.
Race card is so 2022
@@GeorgeOrwell-tp8dw George Orwell
One of the things I wished you had mentioned, Vick has gone on to promote Animal Shelters and Humane Societies. Truly righting his wrong.
Good on him. Thanks for the info.
Oh, well, that's ok then. Toatally forgiven.
@@mochimochi7669
That's bull! He only did that to try and improve his image. However, he was caught on camera bitching about it, and quoted as said " I don't get what the big deal was, they was just dogs man!" Vick is, was and always will be a Piece of Shit!!!!!
No. He is doing what his PR firm tells him to do
@@TheTransitmtl I legit HATE that scum!
These are most DEFINATELY not things hat we have forgotten about...
I will NEVER forget Michael Vick! The fact that he was given such a short sentence, rehired & rewarded with a 100 million contract is disgusting! 🤬
Yeah
.......but he also has herpes for life. Universe works itself out 😂😅😂😅😂
And allowed to come back
Just FYI, Tilicum killed three people: Keltie Byrne, a random guy, and Dawn Brancheau. Edit: spelling
16:49 Iran-Contra led to the Gulf War which lead to 9-11 which lead to the current messy state of the Republican Party. It's impossible to forget, unfortunately.
There was another Johnson & Johnson scandal. The Dupuy hips used in hip replacement surgery.
I remember reading about that.
Still crying from the VW Emission Scandal! The day I turned in my Jetta TDI I cried like a baby! I loved that car but couldn’t chance the VW “Fix” would have had a huge negative impact on fuel economy and/or performance. Still 😭!
A guy who does a dogfighting operation goes in jail but not the people responsible for the Opioid epidemic.
Reagan, who sold weapons to an iranian terrorist organization and who gave the money from that sell to a political party in Nicaragua who was also a cocaine trafficant group, is the most popular person on the list. Crazy!
I still have a 2015 Jetta TDI. Love it. 60 miles to the gallon and a (now) lifetime warranty for a fair portion of the vehicle.
Thank you for reminding us.
Haven't forgotten any of these.
I haven't watched the NFL since they reinstated Vick. Doing that showed that the NFL supports those kind of despicable activities in my eyes
Europe definitely hasn’t forgotten the Vatican scandal✊
I didn't know about these scandals
Thee scandals have surely have a lot of history throughout the years. No wonder they're unforgettable.
Has seaworld really brought back the shows 🤯 there is not a day I'm not thinking about those whales and the treatment. It's barbaric.
IIRC the 'change' they made when they brought it back is no more in-water interaction with the animals. ie, they still do a 'show' but don't have the trainers in the water with the animals. A small part of the reason that trainer died (it is thought) was because they had become too comfortable around Tilikum and was not using proper protocols. So they scrapped that aspect to keep trainers from becoming too complacent, I guess.
It's so saddening. They're just not built for this captivity. And what is the reasoning? Conservation? definitely not. They don't seem to be educated in basic whale behaviour, sociability and communication. They had not learnt from their mothers and grandmothers how to live. Also for animals who live with their family all of their lives it's heartbreaking. "Orcas present the most elaborated insular cortex in the world. This is involved in emotions, such as compassion, empathy, perception, motor control, self-awareness, and interpersonal experience."
Sorry I appear to have just let at your comment and used it as an excuse to just unleash 😣 sorry about that.
@@lolly5657 They are the humans of the sea.
@@lolly5657 that's why it is now illegal to capture orcas in the wild. From when I worked as a docent at a zoo, I know that captive dolphins are not caught wild. Most of the dolphins you see in zoos are descendants of ones what were captured many decades ago. Orcas, however, don't live very long in captivity. I forgot the exact number, but about 90% of orcas that were caught in the last 30-40 years have died from "accidents" or illness. It's very sad and infuriating.
14:08 the way he delivers this
If a comedy show was made about it i remember it, but its still interesting how little certain parties suffered consequences
I forgotten about those photos leaks. 😮
I can remember writing a research paper on wework.
12:04 sales quotas and quotas in general are just.. not the way to encourage your employees
I feel like a lot of these have not been forgotten.
Hey, my memory seems to be better, than I thought 😂
I’m surprised. I haven’t forgotten any of these.
I never forgot about The Fappening
It was such a big deal and I think it started the talk about the casting couch again (stupid Jennifer Lawrence was literally naked on a couch in front of stacks of scripts). And her stupid career cam out of nowhere, then she lay low when the Weinstein scandal came put. Very interesting. There were so many nasty pictures revealing a lot of these actresses were escorts, and no one seems to remember it being called the Fappening. Hilarious name
I've been looking for this comment 😂😂
A waiver that a company isn’t liable if you kill yourself is CRAZY. What the hell made them think that was a good resolution to that?!
No Ashley Madison? Cmon watch MOJO. You guys usually on point.
I like the comedian who said, "You know who was happy about 9/11? Gary Condit."
Also, how about those Congressional pages?
Tailhook?
We can’t ever forget about them because you post these scandals twice or three times a week… there has to be new events to cover/discuss… perdu and VW again? Oh my fucking god.
@14:35 isn't that Tio Pepe from "Rec3"?
They are called locs, not dreadlocs, this should have been noticed and fixed pretty quick.
Wework filed for bankruptcy yesterday.
This is the first and only time I'd agree with the view
Number 21: Watchmojo. When they ranked Heath Ledger above Mark Hamil.
14:09 what's going on here that's not Arnold!
And Theranos doesn't even get a mention....like WTF!
I'm surprised there's no mention that Kiska passed away back in March.
The premise of the video is that these scandals were forgotten due to subsequent behavior that overshadowed them, yet I didn’t find a single example of that in the entire set. In some cases, the involved parties weathered them; in others, the events are simply from a while back such that they don’t remain especially relevant any longer. As near as I can tell, the unifying qualification for inclusion on this list is that the video’s creators could find relevant video footage.
Noo! I had just found a comfortable position with my face inside my sigimoid process where there wasnt filth in my mouth and nose both at the same time! I ll never have that recepie again! I mean having eyes caked full of my own bio refuse is the whole reason for the ostrich positioning in the first place, am I right? This is just such a bummer, Im already using VX treatments to treat those cranial nerves for the furrowed brow from hazy awarness
We don’t forget, nothing gets done about them.
There are Sea World locations who have managed to meet the strict requirements to become Humane Certified (probably post-Blackfish).
120 yrs in prison? wow, that's like death sentence.
175 is a death sentence, is what Larry Nassr is facing, though he could get stabbed again.
Thanks for the new video, Watchmojo! Your content never disappoints me 💜👍🏻🌟🇵🇷
Agree
Some of these are not forgotten at all
Off note, i think judges should be court ordered to wear the powder wigs. That hair piece was rocking.
I was going to be royally pissed off if you forgot Iran-Contra - even today there are aftereffects you can trace directly back to that mess!
Good video. These are some really important issues. Well, except for one young celeb criticising another celeb's hairdo. Really, guys?
Footballer gets prison time for dog fighting, CEOs get a fine for poisoning and fraud..... 😂
FIFA scandal episode 2 soon in the theaters
I remember the Sony hack. I do NOT remember Ariana Grande being part of the leaks.
I didn't forget any of these that I knew about, but I did trust actions promised would happen eg sea world stopping the shows. Blackfish is still very much referenced by many people.
None of us real ones forgot Martin Shkreli, we wanted that Wu-Tang album
who the fuck owns it now? didn't the feds confiscate it?
Wow, these are despicable, especially the Ted Kennedy, Ronald Reagan & Michael Vic cases. There were others but these stand out in head.
the fact that vick was just given a slap on the wrist for animal cruelty is so wild. he and the nfl is disgusting!!!!!!
I've never forgotten ANY of these scumbags
1972's I.T.T. scandal was overlooked.
Duke lacrosse should make it as a dishonorable mention .
So they say they will end the Orca shows and then bring them back. Disgusting. They need to be working on rehabilitating and caring for these animals, rather than using them for entertainment.
They're the humans of the sea. It's not that different from circuses treating people of colour as exhibits.
The scandals are really screwed up
Love your content 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Love your spam
@@marcjameswhelan6231I don't though, sick of spam and perverts
Ain’t nobody forgetting about sleeping or Volkswagen
I think we learned the wrong lesson from the iCloud hacking scandal.
I don't think anyone in the US will ever forget Oxycontin or anything about it, forever.
Further proof...
You can do pretty much whatever you want if you have enough money ...
Bold of WM to assume I forgot anything...
What were we talking about again?
