WHAT IF THE HOMELESS GAVE YOU MONEY? (ORIGINAL)

- A social experiment in giving and human behavior… Does appearance change how people are treated? Created by magician Rich Ferguson, his friend Erik dressed up like a homeless person and TRIED to GIVE money to people. FOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK: bit.ly/RichFB Interestingly, it seemed that those that had the least to give where the ones that gave… while the general public ignored obvious attempts to talk and gift money TO them. In general, the experiment supported that people are generally good hearted and that things balance out in the end. We attempted to give $500 between us. At the end of the entire day, we were WITHIN .50 CENTS of where we started! That was the most surprising result of all. We set out to get reactions by pranking people, but what we got was better.

i would never take money from a homeless person
Splashstorm04 this made my eyes water
Teresa Mullooly Ik, but they didn't know that
Yeah. They need it more than us. They need a roof above their heads because at the minute they are living in such weather's. Si why should people judge? Good comment xx
Teresa Mullooly I am pretty sure Splash knows this... he is speaking on real life manners, if one was actually offering money to people, he would decline, as would I. I'd give him something if I had it.
i would then give all my money to him coz he or she deserved it
When I was 6 I gave a homeless man £10 and he gave me a massive hug
cool
16 or 61
This world needs more people like you son
How much are 10 pounds worth for usd?
+Some Guy 13$
I cant believe those kids didnt take the money they are super kind
Tyiler Hanks ikr. that is super cool.
Tyiler Hanks there parents gave them money to give to him lol will the mom will call him with his full name if he takes it
Minato Namikaze no the prepare for flight and his friend kid they were alone
Those kids are losers
@@ryn3422 no u are if you just take the money you are a loser
I always feel bad when ever I pass by a homeless. I want to give them money, but I never have any...I just wish I could help
CryWorthyWeird When I was in Melbourne for the first time I fricken cried every day
Our Fam so sad 😔
Our Fam Ye I cried when I was a kid in Sydney coz of the amount of homeless people everywhere
CryWorthyWeird ur very nice!
CryWorthyWeird you are man or woman
Do a social expirement where you walk behind people and then approach them (with a wallet in your hand) saying: Is this your wallet? Watching how many people will say yes and how many say no!
That would be a good one
I believe that's already been done before and you're right a lot of people did take it.
An addition to your expirement: When they say yes you have to include another guy who says that it it his wallet for example : "Heyy , wait a second. Is it your wallet ?" -- "Ähhhh , yes , it is mine , thank you !" " Another guy joins the conversation and say someting like "Hey , I think that´s my wallet , look , my ID ". Might be interesting.
Starts with A Yeah that would be good to call them out on their dishonesty..
Excellent social test !
I love it to see when people give money or say: "No, its yours"
Especially the kids
Me to
+KawaiiCreeperGaming cuz if kids take it thell feel or look greedy
+KawaiiCreeperGaming cuz if kids take it thell feel or look greedy
The adults would too

ikr
sad :/
rudy habanero and
rudy habanero stfu
rudy habanero shut the f up b*tch no one needs that
everyone that is reading this
have a blessed day hugs and kisses😘😇
:D
cat ears 101 you made me have a good day
ill just take the blessed day thing
tHe KiTtEn Is ReAl I'm not taking the kisses
Ender and Cupa yeah
I love how that woman in the beginning actually came back like she promised and was willing to give him money💞
MickeyMouseGirly yesss
She didn't they cut it. She never left
Melissa Hernandez ohh
+MickeyMouseGirly If you make me come then I'll give you money as promised too :3
idk I knew someone was going to comment about this ;)
WOW, even the kid denied it. WHAT KID DENIES MONEY? Those parents are amazing.
+MrClassified If I should be real kid that plays in game center smokes gets away from home for a whole day but their mother gives them amount of food school education would deny it but dont get me wrong I am not saying every kid except this would take it dont take it to your balls guys.
I deny money
are you stupid obviously they will deny it
+Cat man if i were to be honest I would take some
I would I'm too nice I would if he was or wasn't homeless
I always carry a spare £10 in my bag incase I see someone in need. I'm 14. I have probably given away £80 - £100 in total and I'm very proud of myself. It's mostly money I get from birthdays and that but they need it more than I do.
ItzMadi aren't you special
Kirt Joe lmao
øxygen na if your 14 and you want to help start by thinking of a way to make a program to help all of them instead of possibly giving a homeless person money to by drugs and cigarettes and other comfort items not all homeless are kind hearted good people. I'm 14 and I understand this. You got a ways to go gl.
øxygen I wonder why I should believe this?
øxygen that's true when I go to LA I take some money and give to the ones in need
in line at cashier I told a man excuse me, but he wouldn't even acknowledge me. I said it again. No response. His loss. I kept the $10.00 I found on the floor.
You do what you gotta do
Once I gave a bag of food to a homeless mexican man
And he just ignored it and did not take it
So I put it under the bench where he was sitting
For those so eager to compare this to fake videos... the LAHWF post today was talking about the very lame, fake "social experiments" that are staged. It's sad. We hope this encourages some of those to make legit "social experiments." Thanks for the support and seeing the difference.
Wow love this video it is actually true that homeless people are more kind than other people that have luxury or have a house job TV and food
kim MILLER I don't think you read the comment properly...
Hey somebody knows if yousef fouseytube is staged? I dont think so but idk
+Antvagu Banano it isnt watch his vlogs n u csn see him set it up
K Smith I watch his vlogs daily lol I just wanted to make sure, in the end you only see 30 mins of his 24 hour day
Hey guys... we set out to prank people and get "reactions"... but we got something better in return. Enjoy. Be sure to catch the Homeless Prank version too;) Share, like and happy new year!
First
Lol...they didn't even know! 😝
HE HAD A SIGN, maybe they couldn't read the Yourself on the bottom of the sign.
TJ PΔke That's the entire point of the video...
I think I can understand
This is WHY Never Judge Anyone By There Clothing Judge Them By There Inside Like There Kindness 😀
LaughZ Gt Yep ^^^^^^^^^^^
LaughZ Gt I Yeah :D people are great Btw this is sarcasm. But some people are very nice
LaughZ Gt true
LaughZ Gt yes! Yes.
LaughZ Gt ur right
wow, lol they all just assume. I don't think anyone read that sign.
just imagine how hard the kid struggled to decline money
Ya but he was nice to him
+Cecilia Holden yay
I bet the guy in the suit did not even lose his wallet
Yeah
... i cant imagine.. it... and i was basically nicknamed the most likey to imagine wonderland x2 at my school.... no literally ... i cant imagine the struggle ...
0:33 That guy with a cap is wearing a vest With the price ticket 😂😂
Um
Rares Ardelean LMAO
Rares Ardelean I just realized because this comment 😂😂
i would feel guilty if i took it ;(
Same haha
but he is not asking you
Shallow Stream same
Same. Like if someone offers me money. I always for like I’m taking it without respect
If you look very closely some people thought he was ASKING for money
razing717 u don't have to look very closely that's the whole point of the video
Razing??
razing717 thats the point
razing717
What are you doing here
razing717 ITS YOU!
If you enjoyed this video, please like it to help share the message. Thank you.
Rich, you really do seem like a great guy I have watched your videos for a long time now. I love how you help all people some of my favorite videos of yours are when you do magic for children. tell your friend Erik how amazing that was and that I just can't believe it!
+TheAkelly312 hi
Gabriel Castillo Hi
What if he was black ?
Those kids that were like no it's yours they were raised right
Even if I did notice it, I probably wouldn't take any. Probably be a little awkward
Sn0w CrAB so if it wasn't awkward you would? Just asking
Most people just
1. Looked at him and ignored
2. Took the money
3. Just kept walking.
john glanders and 4. Gave him some money
5. Let him keep the money
john glanders 6. They all thought that he wanted money
I once gave a homeless man 10$ and my BFF looked at me in disgust and said "I would never give a homeless man that much!"
яσsє мαяяy yalzoes need new friends
GalaxyCookie she said bff not bf
LeviDont I think guys can be bffs too though
no, bff is best friend forever. bf is boy friend. galaxycookie said "did you break up with him?" you dont break up with a friend
Oh. Maybe that kind of expression varies between different cultures. In the U.S.A., when we want to describe the action of ending a friendship with a friend, we use "break up". We do use that same expression for ending a relationship. I'm curious to know, actually; how do you describe that action in the area which you live?
Most of them dont read the sign carefully to know what its saying.
I would read ANYTHING. I can even repeat read g a sign all day, though it would get boring.
+Helvetica the sighn
+Helvetica youre missing the point. The irony here is offering money to people but because theyre not reading the message written they assume as if the guy is begging for money when in fact if they READ THE SIGN, its offering money. Nothing to do with getting bored.
+SHELDON AMANTIAD IKR its sad
+SHELDON AMANTIAD smh it might be because they don't want to take money from such a nice homeless person willing to give up something that could him to help others :)
The mom at 1:50 is a horrible influence
I agree
why? its free money
She actually isn't. You can clearly see that they also don't have that much money to live with. He clearly offered the money because he wanted to give something back. Don't judge her for doing what she needs to survive.
She also loudly said thank you after that. I hope that all of you non adolescent teenagers will one day grow up to be better persons and parents, have a nice day.
Raid Izfan Finally! Thank you!
+alex Perez 😂
That savage at 3:19 with that old school Dallas hat!
hey that proves not all people are mean or selfish
The hipsters and lower class people were the only one that gave and showed kindness, lol.
Yes ikr
"Lower class People" Really?
+Vollzeit - Pyro lol
Why are homeless people so much more nice than wealthy people
Simpsonrichardson That's a stereotype. Personality is not driven from money.
Simpsonrichardson Homeless people for the most part live in the street and have to rely on others for help so many of them are more nicer to people. Wealthy people have people who are friends or associates just because of their wealth and have to go to high means to protect their money since it's practically like a target on you're back if some people know you're rich. This is just a broad assumption of the lifestyle some rich and homeless people have and you can definitely find some wealthy people who are nicer than some homeless people.
They understand the value of actual money
+Simpsonrichardson you give what you wish to receive. less fortunate people are kind to earn karma. rich people have no need for karma, they are busy trying to get to the next place to spend money at. not everyone is a stereotype tho, rich people can be nice and homeless people can be jerks.
i hate that woman who asked the man if he wants her cookie,as if it was teasing,that bitch
I would give him 2 bucks and take 1 back, then both of us can enjoy the joy of giving and sharing
ouy zac LOL
A little bit of love and compassion is what this world needs from every human being.
Really enjoyed this Rich. True testament of what our culture does quite often, (judge a book by its cover).
some people are selfish
i kida dont get it if a man offers u money of coarse ppl will take it hes telling u to take it
but at the same tme im against my opinion
u missed the point of the vid
How dumb are you on a scale of ten???
+Xx_Pnoy Flames_xX On a scale of ten, 11.
this is sooo kind from people not getting money from him because they wanted to live it for the homeless man . and the boy said " no this is for you " this was the cutest thing ive ever seen😍😍😍
0:45 what is Ronda Rousey doing in there? Lmao
the kid was more kind than an adult. Humanity?
I feel awful walking by legit homeless people. It's a mix of liars and expense though. Some people lie and fake it so they can get money and others that are legit, you can't waste your money on. It sucks but it's true
+Craft 11 Yes true, the part where there are some who need and some that abuse. Don't worry about it, give whatever you can spare anyways or maybe offer a meal or whatever help you can. In the end it's "reap what you sow". One day you WILL need help...
Most of them didn't get the message of the "homeless" man. They thought the guy was asking for money.
Yeah "Please Help Yourself" in that situation isn't a clear message to actually take money from the homeless
^ but it could also mean "help yourself to become a better person by helping me out."
Kacie Caro That's kind of a stretch.
izzy_hemmings 5SOS Lol
this video are proving that many people in this earth are so kind
"Sometimes something great is right in front of us... we just need to SEE it"-Rich Ferguson 2015 THAT HITS ME SO HARD
lol they dont know they supposed to take the money
Yup no one jnew becuz the sign is not clear and pplz expect it differently
+Ciana Gim hows it not clear it says "help yourself"
4:05
One of the nicest fucking kids in America.
Ikr personally I woulda still gave money if I read the sign. Idk I'm just like that.
Yes +Deathslayer , in AMERICA
Liam Gibson was that a shot at Americans? Fuck off you stereotyping jackass.
Ikr most of the adults just ignored them but the kid didn't and didn't accept his money
no its actually every kid you just don't see it on the internet
that's what we need more in this world man is of people going out and doing small little things like this just try to make someone's day better or share the love to encourage someone that it's okay
Most people are good at heart. They just need to be reminded sometimes. I need to be reminded most of the time.
I would give a homeless man $100 if he offered me money
Exactly
I wouldn't
What a bout a homeless women?
+Fluffy Cake you RARELY see those so yeah but it's still good you rarely see them
+Fluffy Cake you RARELY see those so yeah but it's still good you rarely see them
Bruh, half of them thought you were asking, not offering.
Also, this was amazing, you are my favourite youtuber, man.
This video made me smile. I love when people are kind towards one another. Even the kids. Teenagers are usually greedy these days, and they also helped the man :)
I'm Canadian I couldn't take a homeless man's money that guy has a suit he has money why would he take
Malachis videos i gave a homelass man 50P, i made him cry joyful tears
Malachis videos it's fake the guy who lost his wallet went back the other way
bossmanplay s
lol
bossmanplay s I'm Canadian
bossmanplay s your so right I'm Canadian to
This is phenomenal... I really hope this catches on.
One of, if not, THE BEST social experiments I have seen so far.
I really respect and admire what Rich and Erik are doing with their talent and resources.
WOW, thank you. Ryan nunya that means a lot.
4.05 was one of the best/ nicest most surprising ones in my opinion! lots of young children would just see the money and take it as they just view it as a treat and dont understand👍 So that boy i thought was amazing turning it down like that xx shows the good in people :)))))
I love to see videos like this when everybody gets along
what a kind and caring man.😊
4:08 godbless that kid he has a good heart.
U know what I would say "I would to take some but it looks like you need it more
and here I'll give you $20"
same here m8
Homeless people are some of the most amazing people you will ever meet from my experience at least. Wt I admire the most about them is how they help each other out if only more people were as kind as them.
Helping people is taken for granted as if the needy is hapless, helpless & redundant person but help with little sense of understanding it will give you proper insight about person who needs help...I do agree many are sort of addicts or even habitual begging bugs but some are reduced to beg maybe life isn't blessed for them...a small lending makes a difference in a day. Hunger is solitary pain and it makes the person feel dragged by life to berserk situations ..wish it shouldn't happen but than humanity counts. Lend your help.
how pathetic it is that most of the WELL OFF PEOPLE could not spare a moment of their valuable time nor would they ever spare a buck. But options on a new car--oh yeah gotta have tinted windows. Purchasing a 2 dollar bottle of water or a $ 3 dollar coffee-that they can afford. Some rich people are the cheapest people on the planet, most DO NOT DESSERVE their wealth.
What does any of that matter? People work for their money and things and if they want to give it to someone else they can. How about you waste all your money and give it a homeless guy and shut up
Well one of the reasons people are rich is because they save money and don't spend it on extraordinary items but the people you are talking about are just arrogant
Welcome to western society :p
''Rich people can't be rich enough in their minds.. its selfish and arrogant
Jttroublemaker14 I can tell you this.
If I ever became rich. I would never become greedy.
Greed is something that I don't understand. So many "fancy" items for a couple million or thousand dollars. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU GET THAT? It does not help you in any way. No logic.
Even the kids had more dignity than the adults
Omg the kids are SOO cute and kind! I can't believe it!
god bless these kind people in this world
Let's play a game, you can only say "yes" once and "no" once. Ok ready?
Are you beautiful?
Are you lying?
hehe sorry but its true :)
crystal specks I'm not beautiful
Yes I'm lying
Lol cheats
crystal specks every human in this world is lying and everyone says they are beautiful.
But I am not beautiful and yes I do LIE
EVERY SECOND
I Regained Faith In
Humanity...
No yes
The guy at 2:05 is so selfish!
Very
Ikr
+Michael Froese dont you mean:sell fish?
If someone offered you money would you not take it? If you say no you are lying
+Loyal Lynxz I'm just 11 if I saw a homeless man/woman I will save some money and give it to her/him even if they mean to me money
I wstched 59 videos of this
And I cant stop crying
Good job man this is seriously touching
2:17 wants money. Has suit. WTF
Maybe he is going to a Job Interview
The suit didn't even fit him at all, he clearly needed the money. Don't judge a book by its cover.
Suit still cost money bby, learn.
Elessar Chivers he said he lost his wallet
Thrift store...... Thrift......
Well they don't know where that money came from
Awww she said “I don’t have any, but I’ll be back.” My sister have a homeless lady pizza instead of money because she didn’t want them to buy something bad for them. She got her food and she hugged her and was so blessed. 🙌🏼
That is awesome. And ending up close to why you had to start? Phenomenal.
I'd never take money from the homeless even if he offered I'll give
when the actual homeless people came up he didnt hold up his sign or offer them any money
So amazing how people looked down on us, but when we tried to help we are usually ignored or are not even bothered with. God blessed me w/house & a family of my own.
Him: It's the season of giving.
Me: It's the season of READING THE SIGN PEOPLE!!!
The guy at 2:09 was lying, he didn't need money, HE HAD A FRICKING SUIT ON
i was about to comment that
well he lost his wallet not his suit rich poeple sometimes will be left out without cash
You do realise you don't need to be rich to own a suit right?
Most my suits are from thrift stores, or were on sale. xD
tfuck u can lose wallet but not suit bro
what i do when i walk by a homeless people,
Homeless: you want money?
Me:did u stell it.
Homeless:(no/yes)
me: well i need money so we are in this together
😁
awwww that lady kept her word andc came back!!!!
That's a really good experiment ! Loved it!!
1:10 holy shit! That is my fucking ex! How is this possible?
really?
+OG Olster Ya isn't that crazy? I guess she could be visiting her dad. But still.. The odds are crazy
***** like 1 in 7 billion xD
Why u fucking lying for 😭😭😭
+Jack why u fucking ugly😭😭😭
some thought that you were asking for some
no shit sherlock
It's not like he was pointing it out in the beginning or anything ya know (scratches head then coughs loudly)
No shit!
COLUMBO!!
Most did
Some people are so rude but some are as kind as anything with a big heart ❤
I love that homeless men so generous love you
the person at 3:13 has 1 arm
we need to build a wall
+GoonaTV FUCK U!!!! 🖕 🖕
+Christopher Navarrete
XD
That's scary
+xXAnime loverXx Xx scary? fuck you
Fousey tube copied this lol
Someone who accually looked at the posted date! Thanks you!!
Flgator s' And he staged it.
He staged it? So the illiterate assholes were actors? Cool. Nice to know. ._.
Flgator s' Just because Fouseytube's video was posted later than this video, it doesn't necessarily mean he copied off this video. For all I know he hasn't even seen this video yet.
+Cleverconure Go fuck yourself you stupid fuck. He didn't stage it, and you have no proof you idiot.
This is adorable I am in tears (happy tears)❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭
Those kids made me cry 😭❤
The invisible people, I call them. People walk by and don't even see them, or if they do see them, you can tell they're try not to notice them.
point is made...it is easier to give then receive..
Jenny Tokumei
I think its related to the amount of humanity(empathy) people have. Less human people can be exposed to suffering and not respond, many in the middle control their exposure to control their thoughts and behavior e.g. lalalalala I can't hear you, look away, etc.
When i was 10 i gave 100 dollars to a homeless and he kissed me and said that i'll go to heaven
OliverStorm jk jk jk
Alex Garza lol, it would make sense if he was
OliverStorm awwww ur lucky
OliverStorm Awwwww that was so cute
OliverStorm in the lips
This video made me so sad because he is giving his money away but the people that were kind enough not to take and to give made my day that made me so so happy they are the people who had a good child good and learnt about giving not taking
an AMAZING video you guys are such great people
Some people take the money some don't take the money and some give money and the rest they are able to read and know what the sign says unlike. The lesson here I learned is don't be selfish and give to The less fortunate
1. I feel like when u said its the season of giving, it seemed as if he wanted the money
2. It would look REALLY wierd if someone saw you take money from a 'looking homeless' man
3. It looks as if he needed the money more in need then me.
Love this idea! And I love it that you did this in my home town of San Luis Obispo,California!
Those kids are so precious
I hate how people say the people who took the money is selfish and greedy, when I bet they may be spoiled or greedy.
Swanna yea but some people actually means it
I agree. The people who took money must have needed it.
Sharing this in face book
Aww bless the people who gave money and refused to take it 😥❤️❤️
The part where people aged and were nice made my day!!! :D
2:10 the guys like "I need it" and he is dressed in a suit. That's the stuff that makes me sad
LAHWF was just talking about these kinds of vids
NO, he was talking about FAKE ones.
+Rich Ferguson Lol :D
+Rich Ferguson hi.
And those kids are so sweet not taking it all of the kids giving and not taking bless them
2:26 the guys reppin' the sock with sandals 👏🏻👏🏻
