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

PSY again? Wasn't Mother-Father-Gentleman enough?

What can I say? The internet loves PSY.

You know what I want to see? Elders react to Pacman's reveal in Smash Bros. I know a lot of old people like Pacman, So I'd like to see how they'd react to this "new" incarnation.

How about Kids/Teens React to Smash Bros. by itself?

That's actually a pretty good idea. It would kinda be like how Elders React to Godzilla (2014) was done since they all grew up with Godzilla in some way. And they have covered video games before.

That also works.

Or better yet... Teens React to E3 2014.

<_< Why do you guys suggest something that would be boring to watch?

I mean, why would you want reaction on E3. What would that accomplish? Besides, E3 takes hours to watch whole thing. And if you want reaction on Pacman, wouldn't it be better just to use trailer for that apparently crappy show that nobody watches?

Smash Bros might work better by itself since it'd be interesting to see whether kids know what the heck it is about or whether teen recognize anything from it, but if you go on that route, might as well start showing trailers for random popular games.

Yeah. I just realized that. It WOULD be boring to watch all the press conferences. So maybe they can only show the trailers of the major games they showed off. Also, new Teens React episode.

Sorry to double post but there's a new Elders React. Here it is.

New Kids React:

Squeeeeeeeee!

New Youtubers React:

..... What the hell is look up??

... maybe I should be on these episodes.

Watch the video and you'll see.

Caution: Long and unnecessary rant incoming

Gary Turk's video "Look Up" is perhaps one of the most tacky viral video in recent memory. Pretentious and forced are the two words I use to describe the video. Is the video a joke? I hope so. If the trite message which he overdoes to convince others of is not enough, he even comes out with a poem that I find so painful to listen because of how little thought he puts in it. If the poem is written on paper, every reader will find it laughably amateurish for how myopic the writer is. Then, he pairs it with some mock-Explosion in the Sky sonic landscape music which screams "OVERBLOWN".

Not only the video gets so many things wrong, it even mentions other unrelated topics that contributes to the lack of focus to the central theme. How does "information getting sold to rich greedy bastards" fits into the main idea? Do you stop using social media to prevent information being sold or to live your life your way? The video has a character who first met his wife as a pedestrian asking for directions. For hopeless romantics' sake, don't simply take reality away for dumb dramatic effect. Also, no one would sell their computer for a ring unless they can't afford the ring in the first place.

I do get the point of the video. However, I don't think we need another (older) person to persuade the young generation of today how they should use modern technology. About 50 years ago, parents think that television was causing their children to become antisocial. About 30 years ago, the parents then, who grew up watching television, were saying that video games were making their children antisocial. Does the same thing have to happen to today's parents on the Internet and online gaming? No, because young people do *gasp* know how to interact with their peers in real life. They *double gasp* still know how to balance real life and using technology.

Not long ago, "I Forgot My Phone" became a viral sensation in a similar way of "Look Up". Unlike "Look Up", the video is more approachable for the viewers. More effort was done in the video so viewers find it easier to relate. It's definitely a charming video that managed to get the lesson across in a gentle manner considering it doesn't roughly wipe the message in your face with a lousy poem.

Thank you for reading my rant. Hope it makes your day.

I don't have much to add to that. I pretty much rolled my eyes at that video. New Media Are Evil lives on, and on, and on.

I have no interest in watching Look Up, as I already know I'm gonna just get angrier if I do.

The video was meh. Too pretentious.

According to the Fine Bros. Facebook page, tomorrow's Teens React will be Teens React to the Jonah Hill controversy.

...... Jonah Hill has a controversy!?!? What the hell did he do!?!

Is this the one where he told off that paparazzi on-camera?

That was my reaction too, funnily enough.

As much as I agree with the video being too pretentious, I really wanted to reach through the screen and Dope Slap Husky. His whole "Duh, why don't you use it everyday" attitude just screams Completely Missing The Point.

Hill was being stalked by a TMZ Paparazzi and ended up flying off the handle telling him "Suck my dick, faggot."

On a side note, this adds more proof to Nostalgia Critic's rant about TMZ being the scum of the Earth.

Being a paparazzo should be punishable by summary execution to be carried out by the victim. Or maybe it could work like The Purge, where as soon as someone takes your picture without permission, any charges of assault, battery, destruction of property, and so forth are automatically waived.

Is it wrong to think that we are being too politically correct about the word that Jonah Hill used?
