- (Finebros) Okay, so we are going
to be showing you
a series of videos,
BUT there's a challenge.
- Oh no.
- (Finebros) You're not allowed
to smile or laugh.
- Oh, seriously?
- I think I'm good at that, unfortunately.
- That's real messed up 'cause I feel like
a smile is my natural state.
See?
- I have always wanted
to be on one of these!
I love-- these are my favorite
out of YouTubers React.
- (Finebros) Are you ready?
- I'm 100% ready.

- Not allowed on the beaches
or in the parks outside certain hours.
- If it's dogs,
I'm gonna laugh. (chuckles)
Oh, wait-- that doesn't count though!
No, 'cause I'm laughing
at myself for being hilarious.
- (Finebros) We'll let that one slide.
- Okay, sorry.
- (news anchor) So how is it
that these two are roaming
their neighborhood, frightening the locals,
and the council isn't stopping it.
- (man) Yeah, yesterday morning
I came out into the front yard
and the dogs were across the road,
and as soon as they saw me...
- He looks familiar.
- (man) ...they came bounding over.
(ferocious growling)
- Mmm.
That's who he is.
- (man) They came
bounding over. (ferocious growling)
- (blandly) There's nothing
funny about insanity.
- (man) They came
bounding over. (ferocious growling)
- (splutters) I was doing so good, man!
I was concentrating and I was thinking,
"Okay, I'm gonna make it through."
But-- (laughing) what
the [bleep] are you doing?!
(buzzer)
- (man) And I just made it
into the front door in time.
- Nice try.
- I'm glad I've already seen that
or I might have laughed.
- You're gonna do a song for us, right?
- (man) Yes.
- Wait, do I get a chance
to not laugh at every video? (chuckling)
Oh [bleep]! Well, that does not count!
(buzzer)

- That was it? I DID IT!
- I am the champion of having no emotions!
- Oh my god!
That was so difficult.
Why did I try so hard?
This was my Amazing Race.
♪ (dramatic chord) ♪
- (Finebros) Okay, so you didn't win.
- Great. I'm a loser.
- I don't like not smiling at something
that's supposed to be funny.
- No. Can you tell me who did?
- (Finebros) Who do you think?
- Oh, Shane.
- (Finebros) What was your strategy
in trying not to smile or laugh?
- I mean... (laughs)
a lot of childhood trauma.
- Soft brain focus,
so you don't really, really internalize.
- You just try to do the frown.
The frown is the strategy.
- I start thinking about my ex's guy
that she hooked up with.
That's what I think about
when I watch these,
and it still doesn't work.
- I was really trying to channel
my inner Shane Dawson.
Shane Dawson's a [bleep] wall.
He is a wall!
I'm sorry. I let you down, buddy.
- (Finebros) Why do you think
this type of challenge video
is so popular on YouTube?
- First of all, because you want
to see someone fail.
Like, that's always been fun.
- It's just so simple and relatable.
Everyone loves to challenge
their friend to be like,
"I bet you can't watch
this without laughing."
- You want to see if you can do it.
You're like, "Oh, they laughed? I can do it."
But then you laugh.
(sassily) But not me! Uh-huh!
- (Finebros) Would you say that
is more fun watching other people do this
or competing yourself?
- I think it's more fun to participate
because you're the one
they're trying to make you laugh.
- Watch, for sure,
because you're gonna laugh
and you're allowed to laugh
with everything that is happening.
- It's definitely more fun watching people
compete in the challenge.
As a competitor, it was too much pressure.
- Oh, it's way more fun
to watch this type of video!
Being a part of this sucked a D!
- (Finebros) So what do you want to say
to the rest of the YouTubers
who also lost?
- Ah, pffft. You wanna collaborate?
- I have no idea!
I'm still upset that I lost.
- Smiling's natural,
but if you laughed you're weak!
- Just know that you have
other talents in your life.
- I'm glad that you're happy.
I'm excited for you that you can
accept emotions as they come.
- (Finebros) What do you want
to say to those who lost?
- I'm jealous of you.
I wish I could laugh at farting cats.
- I'm sorry that your failure has a feel.
I wouldn't know.
- Congratulations on being a human being
because jury's out on whether
I'm a serial killer or not.
- (Finebros) So then what do you want
to say to the ones who won?
- To those who won,
do you want to collaborate?
- You're dead inside.
- What is it like to hate joy?
- You have no soul
and I'm kind of scared of you.
- Shane, you're the MVP.
You're the VVVIP.
I don't know how you do it.
Teach me your secrets!
- Shane, as always, I feel bad
for the guards you have up
and the boundaries we talk about
trying to break down.
I encourage you to call me for sure.
- (Finebros) And what do you want to say
to the ones who also won?
- Yes! Shane and Grace,
I knew I could count on you.
- Shane, he can compartmentalize emotion
like no one I've ever seen before.
Congratulations on maybe
being a serial killer.
- Come over to my house.
Let's have a party
where we just sit and frown.
(laughs) For hours!
- Thanks for watching us
try not to smile or laugh
here on YouTubers React.
- Make sure to subscribe to all
of the other YouTubers in the episode.
I mean, maybe just the winners,
but, you know, the losers too, I guess.
- M'kay! Bye!
