Video 1: / Start of Fallacy: 1:00 / “What is a machine?” “a machine is anything that

reduces human effort” / Person A in the video tries to trap the student a using a question
like this “ What is a machine?” and when the student answered his question with a
simple definition, person A said that it is not the correct definition. Then, he asked
another student (b) to define a machine and answered what is written in the book. The
first student explained to the Professor the meaning of the machine but he made fun of
the student just because his answer was not what he was expecting.

Video 2: Complex Question / Start of fallacy 3:05 / “Fountain pens and ballpens don’t
work in outer space. So scientist spent millions to invent this pen” “If pens didn’t work in
outer space, why didn’t astronauts use pencil instead?” / When the student asked Virus
if the pen cost so much money why didn’t they think of using pencil instead of pen. In
that way, the astronauts would save a lot of money. The student tried to trap Virus with
that question.
(hula) 1:50 / equivocation / "a koel bird lays her eggs on other's nest, and when they
hatch, they push the other eggs out of the nest. Competition over." / Virus explained to
his students that they should think that studying in their school is a competition. He
explained that life begins with murder. It is natural to kick others if it will benefit them.
"Compete or die." Virus said that the students are like the koel birds. They kicked other
students who tried to enter the school and smashed them like eggs in order to study in
ICE.

Video 5: Suppressed evidence / 1:46 / “pag hindi ko nagawa ano kapalit? Brownies?
Pastillas?” / It is suppressed evidence since the student have past experiences with her
teacher when he said “tapos pag di ko nagawa ano kapalit? Pastillas? Brownies?” based
on what she said it looks like whenever they fail to do something they buy what their
teacher sells in order to pass. She had some past experiences like this.

Video 7: Equivocation / 0:35 / “papalitan ang lyrics, ang mamatay ng dahil sayo. Bakit
hindi nalang ang mamatay ng dahil sa traffic?” / it is equivocation since the host used the
word with a different meaning.

Video 8: Accent or prosody / 0:50 / “B-R-E- EK-EK-E-R" “B-R-E-X-X-E-R?” / it is fallacy

of accent or prosody because the caller and the operator/agent cant understand the
name of “Khamaka Brekker” since the caller has a different accent and can’t spell the
word that he was looking for.
