* "Teens React to ''VideoGame/HappyWheels''" is a two-for-one deal, calling back to LetsPlay/PewDiePie playing ''Happy Wheels'' in one past ''Teens React'' episode, and the teens themselves actually playing in another one (and this time they were a bit more enthusiastic, [[VideoGame/{{Slender}} and not without reason]]).

* There have been two "Try Not To Eat" challenges based on ''Manga/ShokugekiNoSoma'', each done for the premiere of a specific season, and there have been three Creator/{{Disney}} versions of the same challenge.

* UsefulNots/DonaldTrump was covered four times, first by the kids, then by the teens (for the ''Access Hollywood'' scandal), then a generations-wide election episode, and finally the teens again for a Dutch parody video. [[VerySpecialEpisode Far more serious]] Trump-related content was covered over the summer, with college kids reacting to Charlottesville and the teens once more for the repeal of DACA.

* ''The [=ComUp=]'' (short for Community Update) is essentially ''Fine Time'' with the Community Team, and they've stated as such on the show itself.

* "[=YouTubers=] React to Darude - Sandstorm". No, it's not because it's covering another EDM song. [[spoiler:It's because the Fine Bros {{Rick Roll}}ed the [=YouTubers=] [[BrickJoke ag]][[RuleOfThree ain]].]]

*** And speaking of "The Fox," the 2013 YouTube Rewind video went to the Teens first and then the [=YouTubers=]. Only the [=YouTubers=] got the 2012 video.

All of the ''React'' series [[RecycledPremise have gone over some of the same topics as another]] ''React'' in some form or another at various points.

* This has now been played completely straight with a second "[=YouTubers=] React to K-pop" video in August 2014.

* It's already happened now on the ''React'' channel as the teens played ''VideoGame/HappyWheels'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLWf7YYHtgQ again.]]

* In ''Fine Time'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDykr4p1xcM episode 18]] (which was published on February 22, 2014, a couple days after "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfYkzcOjxz8 Elders React to]] ''VideoGame/FlappyBird''") the Fine Bros revealed that a ''Teens React'' episode on the hit mobile game has already been recorded since many ''React'' fans have been wanting to see the teens' reactions to it. All the Fine Bros were waiting for now is to see if the fans still want to see it or not, though it would be a while before it was published. While several comments made about the announcement were very positive towards it, there were more than a few comments from those who are exasperated about the ''Flappy'' fad. Those fans said that the ''Elders React'' episode is good enough and the teens, who unlike the elders would have probably already played it before, should react to something else. Nevertheless, the ''Teens React'' episode was eventually published on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UloBiVGtAP4 April 6, 2014.]]

* ''VideoGame/FlappyBird'' is likely going to added to the list of repeated topics, as in ''Fine Time'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDykr4p1xcM episode 18]] (which was published a couple days after "Elders React to ''Flappy Bird''") the Fine Bros revealed that a ''Teens React'' episode on the mobile game has already been recorded since many ''React'' fans have been wanting to see the teens' reactions to it.

* Guess which viral video was one of the first three videos shown to the [=YouTubers=]. Yes, it was "[[Music/{{Psy}} Gangnam Style]]", which was already covered by ''Teens'' and ''Elders React''. Unsurprisingly, the [=YouTubers=] were dismayed at the choice of video, as it had long since peaked in popularity and was experiencing ''major'' hype backlash by then. Even WebVideo/ShaneDawson went ScrewThisImOuttaHere for a second.

* How about Music/RebeccaBlack? She manages to have three different music videos for ''React'' topics (two for ''Kids React'', and one for ''[=YouTubers=]'', which includes Rebecca herself in the ''[=YouTubers=]'' one).

* All of the "React" series have gone over some of the same topics as another React in some form or another at various points.
** Most of the earlier ''Elders React'' episodes covered topics that were already covered by ''Kids'' and ''Teens React''. They eventually got away from this.
** ''Kids React'' has repeated some topics from the other ''React''s, as they've discussed about Music/OneDirection, which was once a topic on ''Teens React''. Nearly nine months after the kids, the [=YouTubers=] reacted to the boy band.
** ''Kids React'' also covered ''Series/HereComesHoneyBooBoo'', which was sort of covered before on ''Teens React'' with ''Series/ToddlersAndTiaras'' as a subject.
** By the time "Teens React to Bullying (Amanda Todd)" was released, since bullying was already covered by ''Kids React'', all of the first three ''React'' series have reused a topic at some point.
** Guess which viral video was one of the first three videos shown to the [=YouTubers=]. Yes, it's [[spoiler:"Gangnam Style"]], which was already covered by ''Teens'' and ''Elders React''. Unsurprisingly, the [=YouTubers=] were dismayed at the choice of video, as it had long since peaked in popularity and was experiencing ''major'' hype backlash by then. Even WebVideo/ShaneDawson went ScrewThisImOuttaHere for a second.
*** It gets ridiculous in episode two when the first video on that episode is "Chocolate Rain" (last seen on ''Kids React''), with Music/TayZonday himself in the studio.
*** Episode four of ''[=YouTubers=] React'' features ''WebVideo/{{Fred}}'', which came up once very early in ''Kids'' (twice if you count Lucas Cruikshank showing up in person for ''Teens'').
** If we're going purely by topics, elaborate[=/=]extreme pranking has been covered across the first three series:
*** "Kids React to Fake Celebrity Prank" and "Remi Gaillard"
*** "Elders React to Scary Elevator Prank"
*** "Teens React to Prank vs Prank" and "Creator/ImprovEverywhere"

*** A similar thing happened with "The Fox". It was first an ''Elders React'' video around the time it was starting to take off. Shortly afterwards, the video became massively popular worldwide. Since the more popular viral videos have, more often than not, been shown in ''Teens React'' episodes, it was only a matter of time before it was their turn. Two weeks later, the inevitable happened.
**** And speaking of "The Fox," the 2013 YouTube rewind video went to first the Teens and then the [=YouTubers=]. Only the [=YouTubers=] got the 2012 video.
** Boxxy was shown in ''Teens React'' and ''[=YouTubers=] React''.
** On the other hand, it took them one and a half years to revisit [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]] for ''Elders React'' (now with an additional clip with Kagamine Rin and Len).
** The Japanese dog commercial was shown on ''Kids React'' and ''[=YouTubers=] React''.
** "Teens React to the Cup Game" could be considered a {{Bowdlerization}} of "[=YouTubers=] React to the Knife Game".
** ''[[Creator/ThisIsIt Don't Hug Me I'm Scared]]'' was shown to the kids a couple months after the [=YouTubers=].
** "Teens React to VideoGame/HappyWheels" is a two-for-one deal, calling back to LetsPlay/PewDiePie playing ''Happy Wheels'' in one past ''Teens React'' episode, and the teens themselves actually playing in another one (and this time they were a bit more enthusiastic, [[VideoGame/{{Slender}} and not without reason]]).
** Arguably the first time they did this in the same series is "Kids React to Lily's Disneyland Surprise...AGAIN!" Some of the kids in that episode were also in the episode "Kids React to Lily's Disneyland Surprise", and those kids knew that something seemed familiar when they were watching the former video.
** How about Rebecca Black? She manages to have three different music videos for React's topics (2 for Kids React, and one for YouTubers, which includes Rebecca herself in the YouTubers one)
