I saw the clip last night, but the version I saw didn't have an intro to it. By itself, the Chaplin clip is ... interesting. The woman seems to be holding something up to her ear, but I think we've become so conditioned to think "Hand to ear, lips moving = talking on a cell phone" that that's the conclusion we automatically jump to. I will say that I don't think the clip itself is a hoax, just that what we think we see isn't always the right answer.
Besides, if the woman in the clip IS a time traveler, I'm pretty sure whatever communication device she had wouldn't need a cell phone tower. :-D
