Many viewers consider FunkyTown to be one of the worst gore videos online. The mysterious yet jarring nature of the video has sent some viewers looking for answers to questions such as where this video was filmed and who the man being tortured was. It is unknown who any of the people in the video are, including the man who is being tortured, but one of the murderers who slice the man's throat was likely Dani. The video does not capture the final moments when they end up completely killing the man. The torture was likely part of an execution, like many Mexican criminal organizations, they'll execute people in the most brutal way possible.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=4HzurQIMH4M</ref> The myth that the victim in the video was a "poor avocado farmer" has been discussed and debated. Some commenters have claimed to have watched an extended version of FunkyTown on the deep web, though there is no proof of any such video existing. The accents heard in the video point to it originating in the Michoacán area.

On February 14th, 2021, a video titled "Hi" was uploaded to goretube.net by a user named UzeeeT. This clip is yet another drug cartel gore video but has an eerily similar setting to FunkyTown. In the video, some cartel members decapitate a man and play soccer with his head in a familiar-looking, white-tiled, mostly empty room. It's possible that the people behind FunkyTown are also behind this video. It's also possible that there are more murder videos out there that take place in that same dreaded room, filmed by the murderers who made FunkyTown.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=LpNT-oGbXaQ</ref> On July 16th, 2023, the full FunkyTown video was uploaded to YouTube by a user named Mr Bist, albeit in low-quality. The video remained on the site for seven months and accumulating 54,000 views before it was taken down by YouTube on March 15th, 2024.
