12
00:00:30,723 --> 00:00:32,243
He's so amused with himself.

13
00:00:32,243 --> 00:00:33,508

22
00:00:44,705 --> 00:00:48,068
- Okay. So the world had
a field day with this, I see.

23
00:00:48,068 --> 00:00:49,072
- I didn't quite understand that.

24
00:00:49,072 --> 00:00:50,976
- I'm not going for the guy and the nuts.

25
00:00:50,976 --> 00:00:52,769
- Well, I personally liked "these nuts."

26
00:00:52,769 --> 00:00:55,615
(Finebros laughing)
What can I say?

27
00:00:55,615 --> 00:00:58,484
(movie reel clicks)

28
00:00:58,901 --> 00:01:01,173
- (Finebros) All right. So what
exactly did we just show you?

29
00:01:01,173 --> 00:01:03,661
- You showed me "these nuts!"

30
00:01:03,661 --> 00:01:04,901
- It was a bunch of different clips

31
00:01:04,901 --> 00:01:07,343
over "deez nuts."

32
00:01:07,343 --> 00:01:09,658
- I have a friend in Seattle.
We do that on the phone.

33
00:01:09,658 --> 00:01:12,074
- He say, "Hello."
I say, "Hello, it's deez nuts."

34
00:01:12,074 --> 00:01:14,000
- (Finebros) Did you like watching these?
- Yeah, it's fun.

35
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,029
- Yeah, I loved them. I thought
the choices were great.

36
00:01:17,029 --> 00:01:20,042
- Any time that someone
is that amused with themselves,

37
00:01:20,042 --> 00:01:22,501
it's like a disease-- you catch it.

38
00:01:22,501 --> 00:01:24,750
- (Finebros) This trend has been
popular for months now,

39
00:01:24,750 --> 00:01:27,127
where people take the footage
of the guy saying "deez nuts"

40
00:01:27,127 --> 00:01:30,967
and put it in different situations.
Even younger kids like this.

41
00:01:30,967 --> 00:01:33,369
Do you think this is appropriate
for younger kids to be watching?

42
00:01:33,369 --> 00:01:34,557
- Well, it's a little harmless

43
00:01:34,557 --> 00:01:38,591
in considering some of the other
things that you hear or see.

44
00:01:38,591 --> 00:01:39,314
- Sure, why not?

45
00:01:39,314 --> 00:01:42,226
They know so much more
than we know. It's like, pff.

46
00:01:42,226 --> 00:01:44,129
- Yeah, it's good with me.
I'm okay with it.

47
00:01:44,129 --> 00:01:46,024
It's not a matter of being appropriate.

48
00:01:46,024 --> 00:01:49,784
It's a matter of just living
and expressing yourself.

49
00:01:49,784 --> 00:01:51,931
- (Finebros) And so the original
was more of like a prank call.

50
00:01:51,931 --> 00:01:54,721
But people are now
doing this in everyday life,

51
00:01:54,721 --> 00:01:55,869
where they'll prank someone else

52
00:01:55,869 --> 00:01:58,795
by making you think you're
gonna ask a serious question,

53
00:01:58,795 --> 00:02:00,694
but then you answer, "Deez nuts."

54
00:02:00,694 --> 00:02:02,495
What do you think about that as a prank?
- I love it.

55
00:02:02,495 --> 00:02:03,255
- I think it's great.

56
00:02:03,255 --> 00:02:08,152
- I think I might just have
to try it out in my pranking.

57
00:02:08,152 --> 00:02:12,588
- I could see where guys
especially would do that.

58
00:02:12,588 --> 00:02:14,285
I think that a lot of women would think,

59
00:02:14,285 --> 00:02:15,410
"Oh, it's sort of silly."

60
00:02:15,410 --> 00:02:17,924
- I can remember in my day,
the thing was this.

61
00:02:18,374 --> 00:02:19,631
And it meant the finger.

62
00:02:19,631 --> 00:02:21,161
- Every generation has a prank,

63
00:02:21,161 --> 00:02:23,063
like making a phone call and asking,

64
00:02:23,063 --> 00:02:26,295
"Is your refrigerator running?"
and people going, "Yes,"

65
00:02:26,295 --> 00:02:28,266
and then you say,
"Oh, well, go run after it!"

66
00:02:28,266 --> 00:02:30,795
- (Finebros) Also something odd
that has happened with this trend

67
00:02:30,795 --> 00:02:33,045
has something to do
with politics this year.

68
00:02:33,045 --> 00:02:34,529
Do you have any idea what?
- I don't know.

69
00:02:34,529 --> 00:02:38,774
Maybe it occurred with
an Obama speech or something.

70
00:02:38,774 --> 00:02:41,828
- Someone can put it
into their political slogan.

71
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:44,985
- If it was up to me,
I would insert that little video

72
00:02:45,515 --> 00:02:48,994
right in the middle of the debates.

73
00:02:48,994 --> 00:02:50,276
- (Finebros) So what happened is

74
00:02:50,276 --> 00:02:53,548
somebody used Deez Nuts as a name

75
00:02:53,548 --> 00:02:56,154
and officially filed
paperwork with the F.E.C.

76
00:02:56,154 --> 00:02:58,324
to run as an independent
presidential candidate.

77
00:02:58,324 --> 00:03:01,490
- (laughs) Really?

78
00:03:01,490 --> 00:03:03,295
- (Finebros) Why do you think
people would joke-vote

79
00:03:03,295 --> 00:03:05,819
for Deez Nuts?
- Well, since politics is a joke,

80
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:10,404
it's pretty clear that they'd
vote for somebody who's nutty.

81
00:03:10,404 --> 00:03:13,076
- What are the other choices?
Why not? Because it's fun.

82
00:03:13,076 --> 00:03:15,305
I mean, it's a kick in the pants.

83
00:03:15,305 --> 00:03:16,244
- (Finebros) So back to these videos,

84
00:03:16,244 --> 00:03:17,984
this is one of many short-form trends,

85
00:03:17,984 --> 00:03:19,776
like ones we've shown on this show before,

86
00:03:19,776 --> 00:03:22,713
where people remix original footage
to create their own versions.

87
00:03:22,713 --> 00:03:24,504
Could you ever have imagined
that becoming something

88
00:03:24,504 --> 00:03:28,141
people like to watch?
- Yeah. Yeah. I could see that happening.

89
00:03:28,141 --> 00:03:29,904
It's more creative. It's different.

90
00:03:29,904 --> 00:03:31,806
- It's just the latest thing
that's going around.

91
00:03:31,806 --> 00:03:33,406
- They're looking for something different.

92
00:03:33,406 --> 00:03:34,658
They want to get entertained.

93
00:03:34,658 --> 00:03:37,806
If this rolls in and starts
entertaining people,

94
00:03:37,806 --> 00:03:39,637
yeah, I can see it catching on.

95
00:03:39,637 --> 00:03:42,336
- (Finebros) Do you yourself
consider this to be entertainment?

96
00:03:42,336 --> 00:03:43,486
- Yeah. Sure.

97
00:03:43,486 --> 00:03:45,792
- Sure, 'cause we're all-- you know, even

98
00:03:45,792 --> 00:03:48,119
the older generation are sending
good stuff on Facebook.

99
00:03:48,119 --> 00:03:48,897
- Not at all.

100
00:03:48,897 --> 00:03:49,805
Not for me.

101
00:03:49,805 --> 00:03:50,367
- No.

102
00:03:50,367 --> 00:03:51,274
I like a story.

103
00:03:51,274 --> 00:03:54,116
I like the beginning,
a middle, and an end.

104
00:03:54,116 --> 00:03:57,776
- I need a longer section
of something with continuity.

105
00:03:57,776 --> 00:04:00,401
- My mantra in life is,
be nice and have fun.

106
00:04:00,401 --> 00:04:02,713
And they were being nice,
and they were having fun.

107
00:04:02,713 --> 00:04:03,933
It was great.
