5	-->-- '''h3h3Production's [=YouTube=] channel description'''
6
7	[=h3h3Productions=] is a Platform/YouTube comedy channel run by husband-and-wife team Ethan and Hila Klein. The channel has a free-form format, but Ethan often makes {{Reaction Video}}s for outrageous and [[MemeticMutation meme-worthy]] [=YouTube=] videos. Rather than taping his face as he watches each video, however, he instead displays highlighted clips from the videos and discusses them. Occasionally, the pair performs skits based around the video at hand. Ethan and Hila continuously revisit the funniest aspects of the videos they highlight, creating a sense of continuity.
8
9	Their former side-channel ''Ethan and Hila'' had a more vlog-like format which has since been merged into the main channel.

11	----
12	!! ''[=h3h3productions=]'' provides examples of:
13	* AdamWesting: [=PewDiePie's=] appearance in "My Epic Collab With [=PewDiePie=]!!" portrays him as a big-shot [=YouTuber=] who couldn't care less about Ethan [[note]](in reality, the two are good friends)[[/note]].
14	%%* AdaptationExpansion: Basically all of Ethan's reaction videos. Invoked in "Reading the Good Looking Loser's Comments", and by the judge of their fair-use lawsuit, who addressed this point in her decision in favor of the Kleins.
15	* ArtisticLicenseGeography: InUniverse. When the lyrics "England is my city" come up in "It's Everyday Bro", England is then brought up on Google with the word '''country''' underlined in bright red.
16	%%* BilingualBonus: Being from Israel, Hila speaks Israeli Hebrew which she's used at least once on the show to interpret something in a video.
17	* ClickbaitGag: The video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n42JN-TMSkk Why Is this Video on the TRENDING Tab???]]" accuses [=YouTube=] of encouraging the use of sensational titles over actual content, specifically by taking apart a fake prank video that trended. It even includes a black-and-white, slow-motion sequence where Ethan tries to resist clicking on the video, but since it says "MUST WATCH," he physically has to click the link.
18	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Jimmie "The Jersey Outlaw", a.k.a., "One Fucked Up Dentist", doesn't realize how terrible his comedy is and enjoys Ethan and Hila's reactions, to the point where Jimmie hung out with Ethan one day, and later made a part 3 to the dentist series at his request.
19	%%* ComicalOverreacting: Ethan will occasionally be "TRIGGERED" which will have him seizing wildly at incredibly ridiculous things.
20	* CringeComedy:
21	** The main style behind the show: Ethan and Hila watch some of the most uncomfortable videos found on the internet and give their thoughts, often repeating verbatim the content of the videos they are lampooning.
22	** "My Epic Collab With LetsPlay/PewDiePie!!" is basically designed to make viewers feel uncomfortable... at least until Ethan's last suggestion, [[TheDogBitesBack which is implied to be his revenge]] against (AdamWesting) [[JerkAss PewDiePie]].
23	%%* DeadBabyComedy: Ethan's jokes can veer straight into this territory without warning.
24	%%* DeadpanSnarker: Whenever Hila speaks up it is usually to deliver a hilarious flat snark.
25	* NWordPrivileges: Ethan frequently makes anti-Semitic jokes, which would be insensitive if it wasn't for the fact that Ethan and his entire family are Jewish.
26	* OneSteveLimit: On one hand we have Ethan Klein, host of the show. On the other, we have Ethan Bradberry of Moe and ET, a prankster duo and very common subject of ridicule to the show and its fanbase due to their content.
27	%%* RecapEpisode: "Thank You", for 2016.
28	* RedOniBlueOni: Ethan is really silly and in your face (red), while Hila is much more subdued (blue).
29	* RunningGag: Being that the show revolves around memes and happens to create some of their own, they have accumulated many running gags.
30	** Whenever Logan Paul or his brother is involved, Ethan will often bring up Logan's "Naw ah'm a strawberreh".
31	** Every time iDubbz comes around to film a video, Ethan's front door is broken and he has to get into the house in some stupid way.
32	** Ethan's coughing. It was partially candid, but he would exaggerate it for comedic effect.
33	%%** The phrases "goofs" and "gaffs".
34	%%** "I'm Ethan Bradberry!"
35	%%** "Slamiiiiiin!"
36	%%** "TRIGGERED"
37	%%** After the Hugh Mungus response video, "INTERNALIZED OPPRESSION".
38	%%** [[CarefulWithThatAxe "Gone sexuaaalll!"]]
39	%%** "Are you crazy?! Are you out of your mind?!"
40	* SanitySlippage: Subverted at the end of "Ethan Joins a 90s Boy Band": Ethan seemingly goes insane ''while'' finally realizing how ungodly stupid his dream of creating a [[SoBadItsGood B4-4]]-style boy band really is.
41	%%* SelfDeprecation: Ethan acknowledges his faults and has made himself look like a complete clown many times in his videos.
42	* SensoryAbuse: The [[IncrediblyLamePun slamming]] Bradberry video where the audio of the episode is boosted when the Bradberries are screaming ''"Slammin'"'' at the top of their lungs.
43	* SoundtrackDissonance: In "Jews Did 9/11 PROVEN", Ethan makes fun of the subject video's decision to play upbeat trance music over footage of the planes hitting the World Trade Center.
44	* SpottingTheThread: When Wall Street Journal's attack articles on "racist" [=YouTubers=] came out, Ethan spotted that they were faking ads they "found" in an attempt to get advertisers to pull out of Platform/YouTube (which worked so well people experienced financial setbacks). He noted that no video with the N-word in the title would ''ever'' get ads on it.
45	* TheStoner: Ethan's "Vape Nation" persona who is a hardcore marijuana (and vape) enthusiast.
46	* StopBeingStereotypical: One of the biggest criticisms Ethan has in the "How to Clean Your Gamer Gear" reaction video is how the Dust-Off infomercial paints gamers as [[ThePigPen unhygienic]] nerds who spout TotallyRadical lingo and are too stupid to know how to clean a keyboard with compressed air.
47	-->'''Spokesman:''' You're not gonna get there if your gear's all crapped-up with [[MagicFranchiseWord 'gamer-gunk']]; dust, chip dip, greasy sticky slimy game residue!\
48	'''Ethan:''' Oh your keyboard isn't fucking full of chip dip and covered in splooge? [[SarcasmMode Oh, then you're not]] a ''real'' [[NoTrueScotsman gamer!]]\
49	''[cut to [[JabbaTableManners Ethan messily devouring Doritos and dip over a keyboard]].]''\
50	'''Ethan:''' I'm a ''real'' gamer!
51	* StunnedSilence: Ethan, when, as according to the obvious outcome Hila's predicts about a target in a "Butt Baby Syringe" video, [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext the man places the target on the baby doll's butt and throws syringes at it.]]
52	%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: [[ProductPlacement Papa John's and Pepsi Max]] have legendary status for the Kleins.
53	* VerbalTic: Aside from Ethan's coughing, he has a tendency to begin or punctuate sentences with the word "dude."
