“This is a serious subject, not a joke,” write the authors of the The Beatles (as they were presented to us) Never Existed, a site devoted to the totally serious, not-a-joke notion that one of the most popular, influential, and obsessively documented bands of all time was an elaborate hoax. This is their mission statement.

The purpose of this site is to present evidence that the Beatles were always sets of multiples since their inception, and were not just four individual young men “from Liverpool,” as we’ve been led to believe. We will be showing lots of pictures here as well as on the forum so that we may provide our evidence sufficiently.

The site’s authors looked at four criteria in determining that the Fab Four were really the Faux Four: height discrepancies, different eyebrows, changes in ear shape, and changes in teeth (presumably photographic perspective, grooming, the effects of age, and modern dentistry were tossed out). So what happened? Do they think Paul McCartney and the other Beatles had stand-ins, akin to the Andrew W.K. “Steev Mike” conspiracy theory? No. That would be too simple. The site explains:

I’ll begin by showing height comparisons which are specifically focused on Paul. This all by itself should provide enough evidence of fraud and deceit. How they did this is not completely known. We have words such as “simulacra,” “cloning,” “synthetic humans,” “robotoids,” and so on, but exactly what was happening here is still a bit of a mystery.

1. And people here will say that is CRAZY!

Then go on to read about chemtrails, buildings rigged with explosives, GMO population control and the CIA running the show in Ukraine

[WinkyDink]

49. You little smart-arse emoticon aside, it is folly to think all theories of all things are all

without merit.

E.g., laughing at CIA involvement in another country and/or conflict is the height not only of naivete but also of historical ignorance.

[KamaAina]

2. So Paul isn't really dead?

[zappaman]

4. Nope.

There was never a Paul.
Makes even more sense!

[BKH70041]

3. Listen

Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
Oh Ooooh
Closer
Let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
We're a fake band
Ooo Oooooooooo

--------

I just KNEW it!

[Initech]

8. You say goodbye, but the Beatles never existed!

Existed, existed! Don't know why you say goodbye but we don't exist!

[GreatGazoo]

21. They're a real nowhere band

sitting in their nowhere land
not really writing all their nonexistent songs for nobody...

[Initech]

26. Number 6. Number 6. Number 6. Number 6. Number 6. Number 6. Number 6.

[GreatGazoo]

34. Let them take you down 'cause their going to

something they feel:
Beatles not Real
And no one to send royalties
Beatles not real forever....

[Initech]

50. We don't exist in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine

We all don't exist in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine...

[GreatGazoo]

58. Because the Beatles aren't real

it makes me sad

Because. The Beatles. Aren't reeeeee-eee-eal.

[Initech]

60. It's been a hard day's night and we don't exist like a dog...

[liberalhistorian]

55. While they were going to

Strawberry Fields........never!

[TeamPooka]

63. I want to hide your band. nt

[pinboy3niner]

64. HEY! You've got to HIDE your band awaaaay... nt

[TeamPooka]

65. lol

[onehandle]

5. The Beatles fired a missile into the Pentagon while riding the Loch Ness Monster. nt

[zappaman]

6. Photo or it didn't happen.

[liberalhistorian]

57. But Eleanor Rigby caught it while

she was standing behind the Grassy Knoll!

[joeybee12]

7. Apparently the Beatles never landed on the moon, either...

My childhood is destroyed!

[underpants]

31. Perhaps, but Star Trek DID visit Mayberry

On, I think, the last page Capt. Kirk and Joan Collins walk past Floyd's Barbershop

The pic is on the first page here

[joeybee12]

44. Hah!

I wonder if, at the time, people made the connection...especially with Floyd's barbershop featured so prominently?

[underpants]

46. I saw it as an inside joke by the producers

They could have easily had that replaced I would think. "Easter eggs" is the name for such hidden things in TV and movies

[Rex]

9. While that is totally bogus, careful digging has found the fifth Beatle!

[spanone]

10. no, really. it's not serious....at all.

[Vinca]

11. I saw them live 3 times. They definitely existed.

And it was amazing.

[pinboy3niner]

13. OMG, you saw all 12 of them!

I saw them at Dodger Stadium. But now I wonder WHICH ones I saw...

[Vinca]

15. ROFL.

The dim bulbs must have the tribute band thing all scrambled up in their heads.

[steve2470]

24. hm the special Dodger Stadium ones, who were housed beneath the stadium! nt

[Hassin Bin Sober]

14. Ya riiiiiiiight. Sure you did ^ shill for Big Beatle ^

[zappaman]

36. Who's paying you to say that?

[Vinca]

47. The walrus.

[leftofcool]

12. Horseshit!

I saw them live, of course they existed.

[NightWatcher]

16. Who?

[pinboy3niner]

18. First base.

[Kalidurga]

33. No who is on Third

[pinboy3niner]

38. I don't know

Costello: What's the guy's name on first base?

Abbott: No. What is on second.

Costello: I'm not asking you who's on second.

Abbott: Who's on first.

Costello: I don't know.

Abbott: He's on third, we're not talking about him.

Costello: Now how did I get on third base?

Abbott: Why you mentioned his name.

Costello: If I mentioned the third baseman's name, who did I say is playing third?

Abbott: No. Who's playing first.

Costello: What's on first?

Abbott: What's on second.

Costello: I don't know.

Abbott: He's on third.

[Kalidurga]

41. Oh that's right

I get those cousins all mixed up.

[JHB]

17. So... "Beatlemania" REALLY WAS an incredible simulation?

Who knew?

(The Nowhere man, that's who!)

[pinboy3niner]

19. Apparently they meant Beatlemanya

We were all duped! DUUUUUPED!!!

[Dr. Strange]

20. Someone needs to do this with Nickelback.

Please.

[Orsino]

22. Then why the fuck is "Silly Love Songs" played on the radio?

Explain that.

[HappyMe]

23. Did they play Area 51?

I ain't sayin' it was aliens...but it was aliens!

[GreatGazoo]

25. Aha! So it was THESE GUYS all along !

[underpants]

27. Ears? I knew it!!! John was a Vulcan!

See I knew there was something up with those haircuts. The tops of the ears weren't visible - no coincidence if you ask me.

[louis-t]

28. People have nothing better to do?

[liberalhistorian]

59. I've always been fascinated by the human

need for/tendency toward conspiracies, thinking established things are hoaxes, etc., etc. One of my sociology professors in college way back when was even focusing his career on studying that. And yes, he did exist!!!

So these guys need to just Let it Be!

[hunter]

29. Just like Elvis, Will Smith is an alien.

The Men in Black are real. The movies were created as a diversion, so we would all think it was fiction.

The Beatles, on the other hand, were a creation of time travelers working with MI6 (you know, James Bond's home agency) to diffuse social conditions that frequently lead to World War III and rapid human extinction in many parallel universes. The Beatles themselves, however, were not “simulacra,” “cloning,” “synthetic humans,” “robotoids,” or anything other than ordinary humans.

I thought everyone knew this stuff.

[pinboy3niner]

32. I think we can guess what you were doing in the '60s

[pinboy3niner]

30. The Beatles were Guess Who before Guess Who!

That could also explain Question Mark and the Mysterians.

[icymist]

35. OUCH!

[zappaman]

37. I actually saw The Rutles.

So I know they at least exist!

[hifiguy]

56. A classic!

I always wanted to do that in a cover band just to see who noticed it wasn't the original. And this one too:

It was the trousers.....

[vankuria]

39. Wonder who the guy was

walking in front of the Dakota in 1980, that was shot and killed by Mark David Chapman?

[zappaman]

40. Whoever it was, he wasn't killed by Mark David Chapman.

Stephen King did it.

[liberalhistorian]

61. OMG, seriously?

That link simply cannot be for real, it just cannot. And if it is, we're in worse trouble than I thought. Wow.

[zappaman]

62. That guy used to park his van near my house.

The entire outside of the van is filled with his theory.
I never saw him though cuz I really wanted to talk to him about it,
Who knew Stephen King was a killer?

[treestar]

42. Now that explains why Paul is dead

They heard that one died and obviously, another one took his place!

[hifiguy]

43. Actual picture of one of the Real Beatles

[Politicalboi]

52. That's Yoko Ono

That creature has breasts. I know if I were to make a bigfoot costume, I would include breasts.

[hifiguy]

53. That deserves a Pinkie Pie rimshot!

[Spirochete]

45. Oh, good grief!

That ridiculous Joel Gilbert doc about "Paul McCartney Really is Dead" is more believable than this.

[WinkyDink]

48. Right up (or down) there with Piltdown Man.

[randr]

51. A small 'factual' historical aside

Original Beatles lyrics are displayed along side of the Magna Carta in the British Historical Museum.
Some may say someday that the two have had the same impact on our story.

[liberalhistorian]

54. Proving once again that there's

nothing so absurd that some idiots somewhere will actually believe in it. Thanks for my laugh of the day.

[pinboy3niner]

68. Zappaman's head in a jar? Hmmmm...

Tempting... We could do that...but it would be wrong.

[zappaman]

69. Uh oh
