-
- (FBE) We showed six reactors
the number one trend
-
in four different categories.
Do you know which musical
-
was the top of the town,
what album had a master debut,
-
and which TikTok trend
was the most viral?
-
This is Top of the Month
for July 2020.
-
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
- Not the damn cakes!
-
Not the damn cakes!
- Aww, these are absurd.
-
- Okay, I wouldn't wanna
eat toilet paper cake.
-
I don't know.
That's just me.
-
- Interesting, but I feel
like I've seen stuff
-
like this before.
But it's really cool.
-
- I have not seen that one!
Oh my god!
-
- Oh my god.
The creativity.
-
- Ah, yeah.
- How do you make suds?
-
How do you make suds edible?
- I've seen that meme for sure.
-
See, my question always is,
it looks amazing,
-
but does it taste good?
- I don't know why everyone
-
finds these
completely unsettling.
-
I used to watch
these videos regularly.
-
- "Oh my god.
Wait, it's all cake?"
-
(chuckles)
"Always has been."
-
- Is he holding the knife
to kill him after he found out
-
it's cake, or did he
just cake the Earth?
-
- I've seen too many, like--
I saw one where people
-
were saying, "There's a reason
why they knock you out in surgery.
-
They don't want you to know
that you're a cake too."
-
- (woman sniffling)
- What is this?
-
- Don't tell me that's cake.
- (laughs)
-
- (woman) I have to find out...
- Oh, shoot.
-
- (woman) ...if she's cake.
- NOOO! (claps)
-
- Oh my...
- (woman) Don't make this
-
harder for me.
- Awww, the poor puppy!
-
- Maybe you're a cake.
Maybe I'm a cake.
-
You'll never know.
- The sniffling at the beginning.
-
"I have to find out."
No, you don't!
-
- (FBE) This is the top meme
that we've seen circulating
-
on the internet this last month
called Everything Is Cake.
-
After the food site, Tasty,
posted a tweet showing everything
-
in the video was cake,
people kind of went crazy
-
and the meme flourished.
-
So, what did you think?
- Stop!
-
- (FBE) Is this a meme
you're on board with?
-
- Yes! I mean,
I find it completely crazy,
-
and I find it so stupid,
but it's so funny.
-
- It's cute and fun and fresh.
I hope it inspires people
-
to play with fondant
and make their own
-
fun little cake creations.
- (FBE) Okay. Well, next up,
-
we have the top trending musical.
- Top trending musical.
-
What the fudge?
- Hamilton?
-
- I wonder what that could be.
Um... (sucks in breath)
-
I don't know, maybe his name
is Alexander Hamilton?
-
I might be wrong.
-
♪ (suspenseful music) ♪
-
- Bro, Hamilton!
-
- Ooh, Leslie Odom!
Stop, Lin!
-
Ah, Thomas Jefferson, mm.
- It's really good.
-
- I haven't seen this.
- ♪ May you always ♪
-
- It's so powerful.
- Ooh, Phillipa Soo, the flavor.
-
Jonathan Groff, the spit. Mmm!
- Lin Manuel Miranda
-
has been a meme as well. (chuckles)
- (man) ...is Hamilton.
-
- (sing-song) His name
is Alexander Hamilton.
-
♪ (dramatic music) ♪
- ♪ Alexander Hamilton ♪
-
- Not discrediting anybody else
-
in this musical,
but Renée Elise Goldsberry,
-
the woman who plays Angelica,
can SING!
-
- I've been watching Hamilton bootlegs
for years, so I've been waiting
-
for a Hamil film to come out.
- My best friend was so upset
-
about this, 'cause she had tickets
to see the show, and then,
-
you know, everything happened.
And so, she's like,
-
"I'm not watching it on Disney+!
I am waiting to see it live!"
-
- (FBE) Hamilton has been one
of the most popular musicals
-
for the past couple years.
- Yeah.
-
- (FBE) And it has always been
very difficult to get
-
a theater ticket for the event.
- Yeah.
-
- (FBE) The full musical
was just released on Disney+
-
at the beginning of July.
With Hamilton having seen
-
such success with being released
on a streaming platform,
-
do you think that we're gonna
see this happen more in the future
-
with musicals?
- I mean...
-
Maybe.
I feel like Disney's very smart,
-
and they know where to make money,
and they know how to keep fans
-
supplied and happy.
Would I rather have seen it in person?
-
Yeah, but I can rewind on my TV.
- Yes, please.
-
I've had this discussion
so much with other friends.
-
Like, I don't know why.
We know there's professional
-
recordings out there.
They're just gate-keeping it.
-
For what? This is the perfect time,
especially because all of Broadway
-
is shut down for God knows when.
Also, it tells you so much more
-
about the musical.
Like, Jonathan Groff spitting?
-
I would've never know that.
I would've never guessed.
-

- His music, like,
-
gets you in your feels, right?
And it makes you feel understood.
-
So, I feel like once people
connect with that, it's just natural
-
that they wanna listen to him again.
- There have been a lot
-
of other artists
who have passed away,
-
and it's always these artists
that are in the same music genre,
-
so it's when-- like,
your favorite artists,
-
you don't wanna think
who's next.
-
- I wasn't even that big
of a Juice WRLD fan
-
until I saw him live.
He was so real and raw in his lyrics.
-
You can hear it,
and it's obviously relatable,
-
which is saddening in itself.
But hopefully, his death
-
causes his fan to think a little more
about drugs they're taking
-
and just people in general.
There are serious repercussions.
-
- (FBE) Lastly, we have
the top TikTok trend in July.
-
- Oh. I'm not on TikTok. (laughs)
It's the one thing I've held out.
-
- ♪ Don't even make sense ♪
♪ Put the rolly on my wrist ♪
-
- (chuckles) I have seen these.
- Ah! I love this one!
-
- Yup, he hit that!
There it is!
-
- He was waiting
for that moment to shine!
-
He throw [censored]!
That's a cute trend.
-
I really want my boyfriend
to do it with me,
-
but he doesn't wanna do it.
- (FBE) Not everyone has
-
a significant other
they can do it with.
-
Some people do it with their dads
in one of those.
-
- ♪ Don't even make sense ♪
♪ Put the rolly on my wrist ♪
-
♪ So they know what time it is ♪
- Oh my g-- (gasps and laughs) Stop!
-
- Yup. (laughs)
- Ah! The-- he's single?
-
The tattoos!
- That one is so funny to me,
-
because some people really go all out.
- Damn, he's like full on macho man.
-
He's got his tattoos and muscles.
(laughs)
-
- That's bringing a lot of hype
to the song too,
-
because when you hear the song,
a lot of people just think
-
of the trend now.
- I kind of like the reveal
-
of how crazy are they gonna
have their guy kind of like
-
and what is the guy gonna do.
- You can't escape these TikToks.
-
I've tried, and it just shows up
on my Instagram instead.
-
- (FBE) Well, finally,
are there any other big trends
-
that you've seen recently
that you think should've made it
-
to this list?
- I know this made it in June,
-
but the Don't Leave Me Challenge
is still really funny.
-
- Valorant is free to play,
and I've just been playing this game
-
literally for hours on end
every single day.
-

Addison Rae,
