Subscribe: goo.gl/Q2kKrD
How can you tell when someone is lying? Well, there is no perfect answer to that; even lie detector (polygraph) tests aren’t as accurate as we hope. But, what does deception say about our society and behavior as a whole?
WatchMojo Facts takes a look at how honesty - or dishonesty - affects our kids, how they can be influenced by punishment for lying, social norms regarding lying and cheating, the impact morals have on our honesty and what our brains say about pathological liars.

Wouldn't it be funny if every fact in this video was blatantly fake?

[@sipov6341]

[@alextomasek1829]

+Silas shawnoo lieseption

[@zodu9579]

It would be ironic lol

[@thememescape8167]

hmmmm mabey

[@93Legit]

sarcasm is lying too

[@gutz1981]

Being honest is what keeps me broke, unemployed and single. Because I tell people I have money to loan them when I should lie to them. Unemployed because I tell employees I have no work experience when I should lie to them. And single because I tell women "Yes your ass does look big in that dress" when I should lie to them. Conclusion. The more honesty people want, the more they want you to lie to them.

[@tobos8909]

"Just one more episode..."

[@tobos8909]

[@mayaneko1094]

You could search for the studies for example^^

[@PaperbackWizard]

Honestly (see what I did there), it makes no difference. You'll believe what you want to believe, and you'll lie if you want to lie.

[@certifiedTy]

That commercial of the couple driving in that car was funny ASF 😂😂

[@Mrs_JK]

[@ritalpha17]

how did researchers from the University of Southern California find 'pathological liars' for their tests? Did they place an ad on Craig's list?! WTF!

[@tokyobandz3307]

I'm telling Plank

[@OutlawMantis]

Double D would disapprove.

[@stagger5863]

+Eddy shut up and take my money

[@MoodyBurgerson]

"The Invention of Lying" was a very perfect film to feature in this one. It's such an interesting philosophical approach to a world where nobody ever lies and one guy finds that it's very convenient to lie.

[@ozzybaca3680]

I’m Rick Harrison and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss, and in 23 years I’ve learned one thing. You never know what is gonna come through that door.

[@noodlesuzuki5513]

[@tahlato3394]

[@67Dragonball]

That last fact relates to me so much you don't even know I feel like I'm at a point where I can lie and convince myself it's true as well😂😂

[@manifestgtr]

oh my god, where would I be without my web of lies and deceit...I shudder at the thought

[@Literally_Anything_Else]

Lied about breaking the garbage disposal (my roommate knew but was really kind about it, such a nice guy), lied to my ex about smoking his weed and I feel really bad about it, lied in 2nd grade by erasing my teacher's negative notes that I was supposed to have signed by my mom...that's all I can think of, but of course there's so much more.

[@lelouchyagami703]

So basically practice makes perfect. Even in lying

[@evilgengar6945]

We all know that a lie hurts everybody, but sometimes you tell a lie to protect someone.

[@Playdude5]

I agree to the terms and conditions.

[@gutz1981]

"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed." 'Adolf Hitler'

[@MonixDzn]

4:46 theres my highschool! lol

[@edbepzz4582]

i never lied before except the time when i sad "i never lied before"

[@herlenepreval3142]

The best way to get away with lying is to make it believable. The more details and release if the lie, the more someone will believe it

[@markkeith9055]

What I like best about lying is that, if your good at it, it can get you out of a lot of jams.

[@erodiumminer]

I rarely lie mostly because of these two reasons 1. I don't like being lied to 2. It's very hard for me to remember things that didn't actually happen.

[@jcace13]

The truth is, I love that episode of The Simpsons xD

[@stupidthehedgehog3266]

Lying isn't really bad unless it hurts someone.

[@ThatBaseballGuy13]

Surprised Hillary wasn't the thumbnail

[@a7xfan290]

[@Resi1ience]

...Why can't I go into a video and be free of politics?

[@henrikhyrup3995]

So, what will happen if Pinocchio says: "My nose will grow now!" Is that a lie - or not....?

[@umont13]

That sir is a paradox well done

[@Lynn-Davis]

There will be a delay before it grows so it wouldn't have grown "now", but later.

[@victoriawalton4642]

I tell little lies for no reason, even if it won't effect me. It would make no difference if I lid or told the truth, except that if I told the truth I wouldn't feel like shīt all the time. I'm getting better at telling the truth, but sometimes I just lie, and I hate it. Anyone else? Please?

[@catisadisaster2269]

When I was 12 I had one of those typical "friends" who lied and cut just for attention. She would tell us that she would be sent to an asylum, she had schitsophrania, she was being possessed by a demon and send us pictures of "her" wrists and wouldn't give a damn about our real problems. Soon we discovered she was lying but she carried on...

[@saffyesperas2278]

I told a lie about going to the hospital because my brother is sick, but the only time I went to the hospital was when my friend was sick.

[@kotacola]

Please do 10 Facts about running out of idea

[@LiamCatterson]

WM missed a major opportunity when they didn't use the Why t'f you lying meme

[@roxasstar7957]

The first lie I told I dead cried so now I only lie on certain occasions

[@DavidGarcia-nw3xu]

"its bullshit, all of it" lmao

[@TheMagicalPinata]

"Yes I have read and accept these terms of service."

[@zane1621]

From a young age I was always an amazing liar, I was used to lying for personal gain. I have nothing more to say so in the last sentence I will turn this into a paradox. *Poof* DONE

[@AzzMonkeysauce03]

I would lie about lying that I lied on the lying test

[@Kjelleros]

Say as it is. And don't get offended. Truth is vital.

[@spencer6548]

I live in pittsburgh!!

[@rileyfreeman7122]

Lying is the number 1 tool I use as a defense.

[@souldude6344]

Well, as long as you were raised right, then it's easy to be good and to have great jurisdiction.

[@cashlewis19]

6:14 It's Bonnie from family guy!!

[@penelopeviews7335]

Biggest lie I've ever said, that I actually enjoy going outside

[@DeltaVTango]

you guys should do Top 10 villains of 2015.... killgrave from jessica jones gets my vote

[@HarryWessex]

I think the concept of "The Invention of Lying" saved it from being a bad film. The jokey concept is too interesting.

[@RAY-THE-WAY]

I lie everyday...... see, I just lied😯......I just lied again😂

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

How do we know this isn't all a lie?

[@detectedoutside8155]

last time i was this i didn't make a joke!

[@chibiprussia5574]

Ten Commandments mean nothing to me, I'd still cheat if you told me them..

[@KhaledAhmedYounes]

The most common lie ever: I have read and agreed to the terms of agreement

[@ramseyhullander2332]

Honest people have better memories. They don't have to remember a bunch of bs

[@itaybron]

tell me lies tell me sweet little lies.

[@GaryLiseo]

The Matrix Experiment could be interesting to do. I don't know how I'd answer, but if the questions weren't too advanced I don't think I'd have to lie to get money for right answers

[@Kindiah]

I REALLY don't like to lie and would never cheat on that matrix experiment thing, I'd feel to guilty. I think truth is one of the most important qualities of a person because it leads to improvement and acceptance of responsibility for ones actions. I've found those who don't make changes in their life for the good are the ones that lie to themselves to make what they're doing ok and avoid accepting responsibility for their actions.

[@hashemalsharif6358]

I never lie just in some situations I do and am real good at it too:)

[@fullmetalgamer6062]

Hillary Clinton would enjoy this video.

[@squadb4zz]

fuck u bitch

[@InkVideoProductions]

someones a little butthurt lol

[@bonwei]

is it because her opponent is always lying? ever heard of this thing called factcheck?

[@hatch82]

The Clintons made lying an art form. Which is why they need to be held accountable!

[@christopherdean9684]

This should've been called "5 things the Clintons Are really good at"

[@luciano_remes]

i prefer the hot ladie reading off the top # videos, no offence dude

[@HoodieProduction]

How do you know she's hot?

[@luciano_remes]

her voice is soooo smooth!

[@HoodieProduction]

CYber GeNik Her voice is pretty awesome but from what I have seen it doesn't always match the face.

[@williamkelley1971]

+SongBird The Watchmojo people did a face reveal a while back. She's pretty good looking. Still doesn't change that fact that this kid is like 7 and can't even spell lady.

[@HoodieProduction]

putrifiedpuppy disemboweledkitty Idk, I would say that shes above average. I think your forgetting how fugly people can be lol. Although I would say that her voice doesn't fit the face, makes it less attractive for some reason. But hey what the hell do I know, Im just some loser that should be happy with anyone they can get.

[@sahock3903]

You should make another video on movie foreshadowing. A good one is the scene in Pearl Harbor where after rafe 'died' and Danny started to fall for Evelyn. Danny is with other pilots in a hanger working on a plane when red says to Danny," if I had a girl like that and my best friend took her, I would come back from the dead and kick the crap out of him"(not exact words) but as every one knows rafe came back from the dead and kicked the crap out of Danny, just as red said

[@pmdoyle55]

Lying is taught to us since we were babies. Santa Claus, Easter bunny, Tooth fairy lies are an acceptable behavior since the beginning...

[@benyang2081]

[@sinisternightmare]

The last couple of lies, that I told, worked so well (giving me great advantages), that I actually decided to lie a lot more in the future. :-)

[@loganhewett7787]

They had two contradicting facts about the impact of punishment on lying.

[@charliem.p.4864]

I would never lie to hurt anyone. Mostly it is to avoid going out ahah! Or little lies that actually make people feel better about themselves (I think these ones are ok, aren't they?).

[@DarkAngelGoliath]

I think it's important for children to learn how to lie.

[@DeadhunterThe]

No clips of Miroku in this? One of anime's biggest pathological liars?

[@mimikyou9511]

Once I told the truth in school when I got in trouble, but they didn't believe me so I had to lie. It wasn't my fault...

[@Polar87]

Biggest lie ever said: " I love you "

[@SceneArtisan]

I've never told a lie - ever,.. honest, I aint. :P (OK, so yes, I have,. a few,.. hundred maybe lol).

[@XtraRandomness]

Not even a single Lie To Me clip. WTF?!?!?

[@billybobjoe1335]

So, the story of the golden shovel or whatever is a story about telling the truth that applies to fact 5.

[@ThatGuy-uw3yf]

I expected someone to name themselves OJ Simpson and say the biggest lie they've told was that they didn't do it.

[@mrjeff4254]

The most I did was lie about not reading for homework

[@nathandrake8700]

Result: Honesty is the best policy.

[@patrickoehlke9984]

when u tell the truth, u don't have to remember anything

[@joshuaeaston8369]

Did you know the Ten Commandments don't apply to Gentiles?

[@donom2547]

Only to some extent tho

[@tahlato3394]

Kinda. The mosaic law is not applied to Christians, however many of the laws within were repeated as principles governing Christians

[@matthewmaki]

here we go...... but yes thumbs up to fallout

[@jorge28624]

They have the law written in their heart, nonetheless...

[@goodvillain1015]

Here's a paradox. When someone says everything he says is a lie, is he lying or telling the truth?

[@Novacaine_07]

Biggest lie i ever told? I like Watchmojo

[@Unknown-xx7ft]
