There’s something weirdly magnetic about crazy conspiracy theories. You know you shouldn’t click that video claiming your refrigerator is plotting against you, but here you are at 2 AM, three hours deep into a rabbit hole about how birds might be government drones.
Satirical exposés occupy a weird space in modern media. They’re not real journalism, but they comment on real journalism. They’re not actual conspiracy theories, but they mock the logic that makes conspiracy theories spread. When done right, a faux-exposé about fake celebrity scandals with government cover-ups can make people laugh while also making them think about how easily we’re manipulated by sensational headlines.
You’ve probably heard someone mention the Illuminati at a party, or seen a YouTube video claiming the moon landing was fake. Maybe you’ve even gone down a late-night internet rabbit hole about Area 51. Conspiracy theories are everywhere now, from memes to documentaries to actual political movements.
You’ve probably noticed that everyone seems to think they’re living in a thriller movie these days. Your uncle swears the government is hiding something big. Your coworker won’t stop talking about how nothing is what it seems. And your group chat? It’s basically a battleground of competing theories about everything from weather patterns to celebrity sightings.
Remember the viral “Dark Brandon” meme that swept through Twitter and TikTok during the 2022 midterms? Suddenly, a tongue-in-cheek image of President Biden with glowing red eyes was everywhere—shared by both supporters and critics, remixed into everything from campaign merch to late-night comedy punchlines. It was more than just a joke. That meme became a shorthand for political frustration, hope, and even irony, all rolled into one. If you felt like you couldn’t escape it, you weren’t alone.
Hollywood conspiracies have been around since the golden age of cinema, but they’ve reached fever pitch in recent years. Every celebrity death gets questioned. Every public appearance gets analyzed frame by frame. And somewhere on the internet, someone’s convinced that their favorite actor was replaced by a clone in 2017.
You’ve probably seen them scrolling through your feed. Stories claiming a famous actor died three years ago and was replaced by a clone. Posts suggesting your favorite pop star is secretly a time traveler based on a grainy photo from 1912. Headlines announcing that celebrities are sending coded messages through their Instagram captions.
