[@TheOnlyOneSpeedfreak]

I never heard Al Gore invented the Internet. Is that an American thing?

[@DavidRay39]

Speedfreak no, it's a liberal thing. They take credit for things they didn't do, and blame others for things they actually did.

[@pcbassoon3892]

David Ray That isn't true. Al Gore claimed to invent the internet, but everyone knew it wasn't true. It was a big joke at the time.

[@davidmdyer838]

Al Gover NEVER claimed to have invented the internet. He helped push through important legislation that got it up an running for civilians. It is a CONSERVATIVE thing to claim that Gore said it to discredit him, not something liberals claim.

[@Jojo-oi5vi]

Sky King that actually makes you fucking stupid if you even pay attention.

[@MtlCstr]

David Dyer You can argue about what he meant, but he did say, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ-pe2uZfaafmdE

[@BearWith_You]

Why do we still speak about someone discovering America? It didn't just pop up. It was always there. And there were people in America way before Columbus and all them

[@Jojo-oi5vi]

Flareon Dude i said that before

[@CashelOConnolly]

Flareon Dude and it certainly wasn’t called America

[@costafinkel]

In theirs defense, they said the first europeans that discovered america

[@DanielGChong]

I think WatchMojo just thinks we're dumb and stupid and doesn't know the obvious cause they think I don't know AARPNET is actually the internet like yo, stfu everybody knows that already.

[@a.jthomas6132]

Walt Disney’s first creation before Mickey Mouse was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. And before he started his long partnership with his brother Roy in their own Disney Empire, he work partially at Universal Studio for the Oswald cartoon show between 1920’s and 1930’s. In addition, he has work his troubled cartoon studio for a year before shut down.

[@kershabeaver3312]

A.J Thomas Disney stole a lot of things they get credit for

[@a.jthomas6132]

Kersha Beaver He never do that! From my experience at the Walt Disney Museum in San Francisco, it saids that Walter has lived in the family where he works daily and never had a good childhood memory. So he decided make one for himself by drawing on the barn wall.

[@BoBennings]

Epic Mickeyyyy

[@a.jthomas6132]

Dundun True that it’s an game. But what I’m talking about the real facts on Oswald was Walter’s first creation. Look up on whipedia.

[@BoBennings]

A.J Thomas Oh yeah totally I believe you I was commenting cause I was first introduced to Oswald in that game back then :P It was so interesting to learn more about him after that and see some of his cartoons.

Number one: the brazillian Santos Dumont was the first man to fly in airplane, because the american Wright Brothers use a huge slingshot to put in air your device.😉

[@newagegeek707]

#1: Black Panther is the first black superhero movie

[@Nx57ytre]

Samual Eley It's Meteor Man. Then came Blade, the first black superhero movie based a preexisting comic boom.

[@newagegeek707]

Nx57ytre: I know, I'm just making a joke

[@headlight31]

Kids these days would think about this as fact.

[@pocketdragon8469]

Nx57ytre Not quite, Steel with Shaq came out a year earlier.

[@DavidRay39]

PocketDragon we don't talk about that abomination.

[@The_Str4nger]

The Xerox alto wasn't a PC. It even wasn't microcomputer, it was a minicoputer or workstation. It was the first computer with a GUI. The first PC was the Apple I or for some the Altair 8800.

[@edcoolidge]

There's other "personal computers" before those that were more functional than the Altair. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_personal_computers

[@JuniorBlitz]

How so if a 1000 of them was produced?

[@antreas9]

#1 The people who say they are first in youtube videos.

[@disneycrazy2004]

Length of a feature film is 80 min. Neither of those reach that mark. Snow White was the first to do it at 88min

[@drseafrog]

“According to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the American Film Institute, and the British Film Institute, a feature film runs for at least 40 minutes...” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_film

[@disneycrazy2004]

Seafrog “...while the screen actors guild holds it at 80min.” Finish your quotes man

2 ads in a 11 minute video? You're really pushing it, watchmojo.

[@anthonyschmidt7979]

They actually taught us about Juan Ponce de Leon in elementary school in florida. He was credited with naming it La Florida for the flowers there. He also was known for trading with the native Seminole indians in the area.

[@pusney1864]

Number one: The KZbin comment section

[@DarthJoshReturns]

1. "Breath of the Wild" is the first Zelda game with an open world. 2. "One-Punch Man" is the first superhero anime. 3. Everything about "Hunter x Hunter." 4. "Frozen" is the first heavily deconstructed Disney Princess movie. 5. "Deadpool" is the first R-Rated superhero movie. 6. "The Phantom Menace" was the first bad "Star Wars" move.

[@jeremyperez1075]

Josh Sinclair finally someone else that knows that breath of the wild isn't the first open world Zelda game the original one is

[@JuniorBlitz]

"Pong" is the first videogame ever made. "Super Mario 64" is the first 3D platformer. "iPhone" wasn't the first smartphone.

[@LakeFX]

If you didn't already know #1, come on...

[@andymayer7493]

Michael Buno some don't dude like the school systems that actually still teaches that in 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue & discovered America id go further into it but the video on College Humor Adam Ruins Columbus Day explains more in depth of the myth & truth about it

[@whatthehellisthis]

ikr i learned that in grade 5 history

[@LakeFX]

Many schools still teach Columbus, but when you get older, you start to go, "hey, wait a minute..."

[@Yup712]

People need to stop crapping on Columbus! Yes there were people already here (that STILL didn’t have primitive building skills or even metallurgy) and yes, the Vikings had arrived here before. But Columbus successfully came to the America’s and then revealed the “New World” to the rest of Europe and the advanced world at that time who had no knowledge of its existence. That is still an accomplishment.

[@snnnaaaaaakeeeee4470]

Magneto the punk Hillary Clinton.

[@notavinthis7276]

Love u watch mojo

[@TunnelJumper]

It's ironic that the Xerox computer had a vertical monitor rather than horizontal. With 9/10 people not bothering to turn their phones horizontal when filming anything important nowadays, it would be perfect in this day and age.

[@jefelofton8679]

Really sad Nicola Tesla wasn’t mentioned at all in the light bulb bit

[@syxepop]

His most mayor "non-credited" gig was on the AC (alternate current) way of delivering electricity competing with (you guessed it) Thomas Alva Edison. Also later on on the possibility of transporting electricity wirelessly.

[@davidthomas283]

Remember "Mother Necessity" from Schoolhouse Rock? Its seems after 30 plus years there got it wrong?

[@gnarwhal7562]

WM low key roasting their comments section with this premise

[@ishan.5186]

ANTICIPATED. OF. JULY. 2018

[@disneyfan8178]

How about the myth that Abner Doubleday invented baseball?

[@ReidGarwin]

disney fan81 I like that one most. My hometown of Auburn NY have Abner as a mascot to the Doubledays team and act like that was the first

[@jeremiecampeau-poirier2636]

on the topic of Colombus, don't forget Amerigo Vespucci whose name inspired the term "America", he's the first non-viking european the discover the continent

[@alangreig4261]

I remember when I found out about number one. It was in 2009 or 2010. I a guy a knew and hated in school told me, there was a massive argument about it. Really annoyed he was right 😂 😂

[@matthewhudson7883]

Although the spelling is different by one letter, here in the U.S. the name Guttenberg is actually more synonymous with the Police Academy movies. Just ask one hundred people at random what the name makes them think of and I'll bet real money that most won't mention the printing press, or at least mention it first.

[@joyadeceren]

Include all your videos, mojo.

[@TrueBlueProd]

I found a slideshow that had all of these just a few hours ago

[@officerbucktuddrussel394]

The light bulb history kinda reminds my of a youtube comment section.

The Koran printable pages are only readable if you have either a Google translator app on your phone or have put in the time/effort to read and understand the Koran language or you were born in that country and have been raised/taught to speak that language.

Good list. Disney however has stolen as lot of things they get credit for

[@ElricSowrd]

I had no idea. Nice touch with the Simpsons. 😄

[@MikeSmith74653]

What about Abner Doubleday inventing baseball! Is that true?

[@MrSparda1989]

It was discovered that the Acient Egyptians had their own functioning light bulbs.

[@Madmonkeman]

Sure...

[@MrSparda1989]

[@earlenewallace8445]

To quote Spock " Fascinating ".

[@WHNorthcote]

So no mention of Tim Berners-Lee for inventing the http codes that made the internet possible?

[@georgeharvey4226]

The men who invented the internet were named Vint Serf and Bob Kahn? That's a little funny if you think about it; there names sound like 'surf' (as in surfing the web) and .com.

[@SophiaLaBanca]

Nothing about the Wright brothers not being the first to fly on an airplane? Give Santos Dumont some credit.

[@TheAlps36]

I thought Tim Berners-Lee was the one who developed the Internet. Or did he just make it global (as in world wide web)?

[@danielpierce9343]

The two I know is that Edison didn't create the first lightbulb rather he invented the first commercially successful light bulb. The other was the animated film thingy. Also I did know about the Columbus thing to

[@guitarking367]

Titanic still used the previous distress signal C.Q.D. No SOS at all. Not sure how that got construed.

[@done-ahhh578]

Xerox did not invent the Desktop or the PC. They invented the GUI, the point and click interface. PC's existed before they were just command line interfaces only.

[@fisheyenomiko]

"The Adventures of Prince Achmed" is an amazing film. Also: It was made by a woman, Lotte Reiniger.

[@Cypresssina]

Poor Tesla couldn't even get an honorable mention 😭😭😭

Pretty sure you have nearly the same video under a different title though, like top 10 inventions that were improved upon or some shit.

Benjamin Franklin didn't discover electricity (or at least that's what I heard from somewhere)

[@danjones2164]

Jackie Robinson was not the first African American to play Major League Baseball.

[@syxepop]

He only was the 1st "black/brown-skinned" player to play in MLB for close to 70 years. There were some African Americans and I do believe Afro-Cubans that played in the Federal League (predecessor of MLB) in the 1870's and '80s before making contracting them illegal (until the late 1940's, of course...)..

In relation to #1: How can you discover somewhere when an entire society of people already lived there ?? 🤔🤔

[@alanmurphy8293]

the problem with the phone is it was theory vs reality. I could say "I have created a way to communicate telepathically" without explaining how. Someone else explains how and shows you how to do it. Who created it? the theory guy or the guy that did it?

[@antisaltknight887]

wildturkey3776 yeah and only one country : -invented agriculture -was the first to sent a man in space -invented printing -invented the car -etc and as far as i remember, outside of the shock factor, we have yet to see any utility in sending a man to the moon. Oh maybe that is why, no other country are arrogant enough to sent a man to the moon, just to make a claim : we sent a man to the moon.

[@Thenorthsace]

Aurelien Genty germany invented the car, and you supposedly went to the moon once and to be honest not everyone believes that or cares

[@antisaltknight887]

I was talking about how there has been in tendency in US to take credits for themselves, or to blow some of their achievement out of proportion. (they are not the only one to do that though), never said US was inferior to a specific country for the same reason that USA is not the superior country, as some are trying to push you to believe.
