  • On 10 April 2018, the Facebook page Chiverhood of the Traveling Pants posted a video which purportedly showed a Vermont State Trooper pulling over a school bus only to be savagely attacked by hooligans. The same video was posted years earlier to YouTube along with the claim that it showed a cop pulling over a school bus: Although this video was almost certainly posted in jest, some viewers were unaware of its origins. It actually shows a scene from the closing credits of the 2001 movie Super Troopers. It's revealed early in the movie that the character of Farva was suspended for an incident on a school bus with unruly children. The incident is not addressed in great detail during the film, but this dashcam footage was shown during the closing credits to give viewers a glimpse at the infamous incident. The Crazy Credits section for the movie's listing on IMBD explains: Fans of Super Troopers may have been easily able to tell that this was a joke, but not everyone on the internet is as well versed in pop culture references. After all, this is not the first time that an out-of-context movie clips have been mistaken for a slice of reality. An image from the Ben Stiller movie Tropic Thunder, for instance, was shared as if it were a genuine photograph of Vietnam soldiers, and this clip of a man in a department store being crushed by an inflatable raft is actually from the movie Grown Ups 2.
