The Fine Bros' React Series (Kids, Teens, Elders, YouTubers)

Just gonna revive this thread because WE'VE GOT BEATLES!

I'm going to change the topic title because there's a whole bunch of React series out now, including Teens, Elders, and YouTubers.

Speaking of which, the latest React is freaking awesome. Good old Rick Astley never dies. Or, as Shaytards says, "I hope the Fine Brothers burn in hell." Also, Jacksfilms is in it.

All of their reactions are hilarious. I swear.

I had also vaguely heard about Improv Everywhere but this is the first time I really got the picture of what they are about. Being in one of their "missions" would be pretty darn cool.

@0dd01: I swear, whenever the Beatles are so much as casually mentioned or referenced, you always seem to be there...

On topic, yes, I agree that the X React To videos are usually hilarious. Though the Teens React to MLP video was unwatchable for me...

Personally, I want a ZP reaction video.

@Watchtower: To be fair, ignorance of young people IS fricking annoying

The people not knowing the subject is more entertaining as you get to see their initial impressions of whatever it is. It's part of the reason the younger kids and the elders are better than the older kids or the teens.

Except for the youtubers, them knowing about the stuff is what makes it good.

Yesterday they had Kids React To Harlem Shake, which I think was rather funny. I honestly had no idea about that meme until I started seeing my favorite YouTubers do their own versions. It was particularly amusing when they showed the Fine Bros' own clip of it, which many of the kids had been a part of filming.

Also, for what it's worth, I enjoy the contrast between the ones who have seen whatever the thing in question is and the ones who haven't. It's why I miss William from Kids React, because it seemed like that kid lived on YouTube and knew almost everything.

I tried watching the Teens React to Twilight...

But it says the uploader hasn't made it available in my country (which is Canada). Some sort of copyright issue with showing clips from the movie? Because I had the exact same thing happen when I tried to watch Elders React to Breaking Dawn Part 2. All the other React videos I've watched so far, I've had no trouble with.

Does anyone know how I can get around this, and/or somewhere else I could watch these videos?

You could try something like Hotspot Shield to unblock certain videos that don't play in your country via a VPN tunneler thing.

I wonder if the region restrictions are due to the clips they are showing.

It worked. Thanks Nettacki! ^_^

These kids are great (and no, I'm not crying):

Maybe we're gonna be okay after all.

Cynically, I want to say that the Fine Bros probably wouldn't pick kids for their show that are blatantly racist, but I do agree that it's refreshing to see all of them asking what the big deal is with a mixed-race couple. Better yet, none of them even noticed the supposed problem until it was pointed out to them. That right there is the future of America, and it gives me hope.

Edit: Incidentally, until I saw the father, I thought that the daughter might have been adopted. I also briefly flirted with the notion that the controversy was about the "fat, lazy Dad" stereotype, or even the "fat, lazy black Dad" stereotype. Nope, it's about good old fashioned miscegenation. I hate my country sometimes.

My son has grown up with peers of all races and nationalities, and hopefully will never develop the necessary mental structures for prejudice. I dread the day when I have to explain to him how he's likely to be a victim of it given his Hispanic heritage. ^note We adopted him from Guatemala.

Seems like those teens at least can tell when a music video reaches a particularly low point. I especially like how when they told them the video was supposed to be feminist, pretty much all of them went essentially "...you serious, bro?"

Anyway, it's been months since this thread has been updated, so I'll just post the latest React video they made:

Ugh, not a fan of those vomit vids but - oh hey, it's Burnie! About time someone from that site was on this thing.

And now we have Kids Reacting to Avril Lavigne's new Hello Kitty video.

ReactToThat was greenlit by Nickelodeon for a first season!

This might get some people particularly interested:

............. The reaction videos are gonna be a full TV-series now, isn't it?

Technically, yeah. But no one really knows about the format yet. Is it going to be ALL reactions? Or is it going to be something else? Because, to be honest, while the React episodes are good, they would have to get around copyrighted content and the Nick censors in order to show the more risqué stuff. Since a lot of people's favourite episodes involve risqué content, like that one two posts above this one. (To be honest, I love it when the teens react to TV shows, except for the MLP one, **** that). So, I'm VERY cautiously optimistic about this TV show. Now if you will excuse me, I have to make a thread in the Live Action TV section for this show. In otherworldly news, I really want them to react to more video games. Particularly, I want them to react to creepypasta game with a divisive fanbase. Like Sonic.exe. Particularly the ROM hack version. That will lead to some interesting discussions amongst the Fine Brothers and the teens.

EDIT: Never mind, the format is discussed here: http://www.tubefilter.com/2014/04/30/the-fine-bros-tv-react-to-that-nickelodeon/

It seems that I will be enjoying only some of the TV show then...

Sigh.... welll Nick is owned by VIACOM, who owns VH 1, which ran those I Love series of interviews... so unfortunately, the "* react to" videos would totally be something they'd pick up. -_-

Hey, you. What do you think of my idea for a Teens React episode? It's two posts up.
