YOUTUBERS REACT TO NICKI MINAJ CHALLENGE (#NICKIMINAJCHALLENGE)

- Attention.

- This is how bad bitches
make YouTube React videos.

- Y'all don't even know
how to spell "React."

♪ (dramatic chord) ♪

- (FBE) So today, we are gonna show you

a recent Instagram post
from the artist Nicki Minaj.

- Ooh. Okay. (chuckles)

I don't know much about
Nicki Minaj, but hit me.

- I know what this is.

- You know what it is?
- Yeah.

- Dan is obsessed with Nicki Minaj.
- Do you not follow

Nicki Minaj on Instagram?

- You talk to me more about Nicki Minaj
than most of the people.

- Attention.

This is how bad bitches
leave London and go to Prague.

You bitches can't even spell "Prague."

- I've heard people say that,

and I had no idea where it was from.

- (Nicki Minaj) You bitches
can't even spell "Prague."

- (snickers)

- Wow, her hair is so long.

- See, that's hair goals.
- Damn.

- Yes, girl. Work.

- Wow.
- Art.

- Yeah.
- Truly.

- That's how bad bitches
enter an airplane.

- I liked the little twirl that she did.

- Yeah, I mean,
that's how I get on planes.

- (FBE) So shortly after this posted,

people started posting
their own parodies of this video,

dubbing it the Nicki Minaj Challenge.
- Ah, yes.

- Of course.

This is exactly something

that people would make
a challenge video out of.

- Man, you can put
"challenge" after anything,

and it'll just become a thing
on the internet, huh?

I should try that.

- (FBE) Nicki even posted
a video of herself

of someone imitating her, so she
is embracing this. Here it is.

- Okay, cool.

- (man) Attention!

This is how bad haters
leave New York and go to Prague.

You bums can't even spell "Prague."

- (chuckles)

- (man) You bums
can't even spell "Prague."

- Awesome. Yes.

- (man) You bums
can't even spell "Prague."

- (chuckles)

- It doesn't work without the hair.

- It doesn't do anything for me personally

as neither a fan of Nicki Minaj
or, like, trends. (chuckles)

- It's good for celebrities to,
like, kinda recognize the fans

and how much effort they're putting

into creating content for them.

- (FBE) So here's some more examples

of the Nicki Minaj Challenge.
- Excellent.

- (woman) This is how
bad bitch walk in the club

when they ain't 21.
- I'm worried for her.

- She's gonna fall. She's gonna fall.

- (woman) ...bitches
can't even spell "club."

'Cause I don't.
- (chuckles)

- (woman) [Bleep] y'all, and [bleep]...

- This girl got attitude. I like her.

- (woman) Beale Street it is.

- She's gonna fall over in those heels.

She's gonna fall over.

She didn't fall over.

- Lots of spinning in that one.

- The thing about Nicki
is she spun so seamlessly.

And everyone else is like...

- (graduate) Attention!

- (affectionately) Oh, graduation one!

- (graduate) This is how
bad bitches graduate.

- Yes.

- (graduate) You bitches
can't even spell "graduate."

- (laughs)
- Yes.

- Yes.
- Yes.

- That's how you do it, yes.

- That one was my favorite so far.
- Five star.

- I really would've loved to see
someone graduate like that

at my college.

- (Zoë Kravitz) Attention.
- Oh my gosh. My love.

- (Kravitz) This is how
a bad bitch leaves her hotel

to go do Good Morning America.

Y'all bitches can't even spell
"Good Morning America."

Good morning, America.
- (chuckles)

- (chuckles)

- I love Zoë Kravitz. She's the best.

- Honestly, I don't get it.

- I love how people take things like this
and make it their own.

- It turns any situation to a catwalk.

- Oh. Kyle.

- Oh, Kylie!

- (Kylie Jenner) You bitches
can't even spell "Prague."

- (chuckling)
- What was that?

- (Jenner) You bitches
can't even spell "Prague."

- (laughs giddily) What?

- (Jenner) You bitches
can't even spell "Prague."

- She didn't even try!

- Really?

- (chuckles)
- Was that it?

- Um... I think she did it
in the wrong order.

- These are so weird.

- I am so not the demographic for this.

- If you're gonna do it,
you need to commit

to the whole thing though.
- I support that.

- You need to learn every move.
- That was fine.

She wasn't trying too hard.
- Yeah.

- (woman) Attention.

This is how bad bitches
take out the garbage.

- Yes, girl.

- Yes.
- (both) Yes.

- This is how you take out
the garbage. I've seen you do that.

- It's a lot more skippy than Nicki was.
- I liked it.

It was whimsical.
- Yeah.

- That's how I take out the garbage.

- See, that's trying too hard
and it being completely worth it.

- Yeah.

- (woman) Attention!

- How are people just
getting onto the runway?

- (woman) This is how
bad bitches leave from...

- What?
- I like it.

(laughter)
- (somebody) Oh yeah.

- Oh! And the wig fell off. No, no, no.

- (somebody) Oh yeah.

- (laughs)

Oh no!

- (somebody) Oh yeah.

(laughter)

- Oh my god. (laughs)

- That was the best one. (laughing)

- The wig was doing its own
Nicki Minaj challenge.

It was spinning off as well.

- (woman) Attention.

This is how bad bitches

steal from the store. Y'all bitches...

- Oh no. This is not good.

Y'all bitches can't even spell "steal."

S-T-I...
- Brilliant.

- (woman) L... L!

- She's taking all the shoes!
She's taking all the shoes!

- (woman) L... L!
- (chuckles)

(employee yelling)
(both chuckling)

- Best one yet.

- I mean...

- I quite like that one.
- Okay, yeah.

- That's the best one so far.
- It's going through

all the levels now.

- That can't be real.
- I feel like that wasn't real.

- I need to get onto
this trend immediately.

- Yeah, I think I need to see Rob's

Nicki Minaj challenge for sure.
- Just start flipping

my hair around and doing some spins.

- (FBE) So this is something
that Nicki Minaj did not appear

to be planning to become a challenge.

- Welcome to the internet, Nicki.

- The word "challenge" has now
turned into a meme in itself,

where it's like not
just even celebrities' names.

I feel like you can put the word
"challenge" after anything.

- (FBE) So what do you think
about how social media

is something that,
you know, anything you post

can take on a life of its own?
- I think it's cool.

I mean, it's fun.
It adds fun to the internet.

- You can't stop it really.

- (chuckles)
- It's a machine.

- It's really funny
how memes start as well.

It's always the most random
thing you don't expect,

and it's a prime example of how
something just catches on.

- With the age of social media,

celebrities are sharing more of their--

I wouldn't say unedited,
but more of their personas.

So, you know, there's more things to meme.

- It's kind of interesting
that she did that

and probably didn't realize
it would take off that way,

and it just did.

So I think that's a pretty cool
thing about social media.

But at the same time, like I say,

it could also be horrendously bad.

- It's a little scary
honestly and exciting.

I think people are always chasing that,

"What can I do on the internet
that will become a trend?"

- Makes me never want to post anything

on social media ever again.
- (chuckles)

- The free flow of idea
is what makes YouTube great

and makes YouTube exciting.

- I think that one might've been her
just doing something funny.

But a lot of artists have coined the whole

"I'll make a meme and people will do it."

- Ooh. Skeptical Dan.

- But that video was funny,
and I love and support Nicki.

- (FBE) And obviously,
challenges and trend culture

have been a big part of YouTube
and social media for a while.

As an online personality,

how do you decide
which trends do to yourself

versus which ones to just say,

"Nope, not gonna get in on this one"?

- So-- (chuckles) oh God.

So I suppose my way of engaging
with challenges and trends is

I try to think, "Well, what's
the weirdest spin on it possible?"

- If something's past its prime
and then you do it,

I think the people get annoyed with you.

And I quite like that response.
Like with dabbing.

- Yeah.
- If you dab, people tell you off.

- If I was at the right place,
like if I was at an airport

about to get on a plane
and that just happened,

I would definitely do it.

But I don't think I'd make
an excuse just to make one

if it wasn't gonna be good.

- It's like how well that
particular challenge kind of

subsides with my values and morals.
For example, this one.

I think it's completely hilarious
and entertaining to watch.

But it's not really my thing.

- It depends on whether or not
it just falls in your purview.

For example, last year, there were
so many fun makeup challenges

that were like, "How I did
my makeup in high school."

So you have to survey
the scene and be like,

"Oh, would this apply
to my channel?" Maybe, yes.

- It's our internet duty.

- Yeah, I think Rob should definitely try

the Nicki Minaj Challenge.
- Uh, get me a phone.

Get me a--
- A private jet?

- And--
(both chuckle)

And we'll make it happen.

- (FBE) And finally, it's time to do
the Nicki Minaj Challenge.

- Let's do it. I love it.

- I knew this was coming.

- Can we do it sitting? (snickers)

- Attention.

- This is how bad bitches
make YouTube React videos.

- Y'all don't even know
how to spell "React."

- Attention.

This is how bad bitches
participate in a trend

that they don't understand.
You can't even spell "participate."

- Attention. This is how
YouTubers spend their day.

You don't even know how to spell "day."

I'm editing.

- Attention! This is how bad bitches vlog.

You don't even know how to spell "vlog."

- Y'all don't even know
how to spell "fruit snacks."

I'm not even gonna spin.
This is all you get.

- Attention. This is how
bad bitches wrap up

an episode of YouTubers React.

Y'all can't even spell "YouTube"!

- (both) Attention! This is how...
- ...bad British people...

- ...tall British people
react to stuff on YouTube.

- Yeah.
- Are you ready for this?

We're really tall, so we have to shrink

to fit in the frame.
- Ah.

- We're freakishly large.
- We're so tall.

- Attention!

This is how bad bitches
turn around, do a little spin,

and then carry on where we're going.

- I bet you can't even spell
those words that he just said.

- You spin. Then you carry on.
But there's a wall here.

So I guess-- do we go this way?
- Stay here?

- You just stay there if you want.
I'm gonna carry on.

I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna open this door.

(door opens)
