YOUTUBERS REACT TO DANCING HOT DOG SNAPCHAT MEMES

- Oh, what's up, bitch?

- Woo, come here!
No, he's fu--

What are you doing over there?!

♪ (dramatic chord) ♪

- (FBE) So today we're
going to be showing you

some content of a Snapchat filter
that has recently gone viral.

- Is it the hot dog?

- The hot dog thing?
It's everywhere.

It's on Twitter, Instagram.

- Oh, I know what it is.
I know what it is.

It's a hot dog, right? Yes!

- I love my little hot dog.
- This is the hot dog, right?

- Yeah, I've been playing
with him hard.

I've certainly danced
with the hot dog

more than I've danced
with any woman at a bar ever.

♪ (party music) ♪

- I use this one.

- (chuckling)

Oh god!

- Ugh!

- Oh, she's getting
her nosed pierced.

- (lady) Yay!
- It's so weird.

- I don't get it.
- What's not to get?

It's so cute.

- I use the filter all the time,
the hot dog guy.

- It makes every moment
more delightful

because I don't want to watch
someone's nose

getting all mushed up
with needles in it.

Throw a little dancing
hot dog in there, I'm down.

- Aww, so cute.

- Oh, this is your jam.
- I'm all about this.

- Oh my god.
I haven't seen that one.

- I honestly haven't
used it myself,

but every time I see
a video with the hot dog on it,

I watch the whole thing.

I'm like, "Why?
Why is it so entertaining?"

And the song's so bad. It's amazing.

♪ (rap music) ♪
- Oh my god.

(gasping)

- (laughing)

- Oh my god! What?!

- Oh, this is--
- (laughing)

- This is more my jam.

- Oh, they're getting so big.

♪ (rap music) ♪
- That's nasty.

- That's hilarious.

That's comedy gold right there.

- Who thought of that?!

- Oh, so good.

I want to see what people
can do with that thing,

where it's like,
they're interacting with it.

I wanna see someone
breakdance next to it.

- (man) Yeah, that's right--
- Okay, I saw this one.

- (man) I'm cookin' yo son!
- (sadly) Oh.

- (man) That's what you get
for sneakin' up on me

when I'm trying
to take off my nightlight.

- This is a dark one.

- Oh my god, there's a big one too.

- (distorted screaming)

- Oh, they did a double hot dog.

- Can you double hot dog?
- Yeah.

So you can play as two?

Or did they edit--
- They edited that.

I don't believe it.

That's some Snapchat witchcraft.

- The hot dog already
looked a little cooked,

so it's already went
through the torment enough.

- (chuckling)

Oh my god.

- (cracking up)

- (giggling)

He just stole the hot dog.

It was probably a Costco one.
Those are really good.

- That's nuts.

- I hate the hot dog.
- Why?

- Because when it
first showed up, I was like,

"There has to be some
greater meaning to this,"

and there isn't.

(beeping)
- (bystander) Move!

- Oh god! Oh my god!
- (bystander) No!

(beeping)
- (bystander) Move!

- Nooooooo!

- (bystander) Move!
- No! Noooo!

(beeping)
- (bystander) Move!

- Hot dog guy!
Hot dog guy is dead.

(beeping)
- (bystander) Move!

Nooooo!
- (laughing)

I never once in my life
thought I'd be laughing

about a hot dog
getting hit by a train.

- Oh my god, this is so weird.

I want to [bleep] die.

♪ (party music) ♪

- Hot dog guy won't flush down.

- Woo! Nope, he won't
go down the toilet.

- I kind of understand
why it's blowing up, you know?

Because it looks really real,
and if it's moving with

whatever's happening in the video,
it literally looks like

there's a dancing hot dog.

- Oh my god, it's a hot dog fight.

- (laughing)
- Ah.

- (gasping) Not the hot dog guy!

(deep voice) Hot dog guy,
I am your father!

(giggling)

- I wish the hot dog
had split in half.

- Yeah, I wish the hot dog
literally did anything.

That would be great.

- "Just spoke with one
of my biggest inspirations.

Bless up."

- Is he facetiming?

- Man, he's taking
the world by storm.

He's got Khaled
giving him shout-outs.

- DJ Khaled made a meme of himself.

That's the type of confidence
I'd love to have.

- I feel like he would be
the type of person

to post that though,
considering DJ Khaled

is a living meme himself, you know?

It's like when two memes collide.

- "Imagine the Snapchat investors
asking the CEO what he's got

planned to stop the stock
from plummeting

and he pulls up this
mother[bleep] on a PowerPoint.

Well, it worked.

- Yeah, I mean, it's true.

I feel like no one
was using Snapchat.

Everyone was moving away
to Instagram,

and then this thing
came out and everyone

is opening up the app again.

- There we go. It's viral.

I want to know who made this.

- I don't know how
they think of their filters.

Snapchat, like, they go all out.

It's good marketing, for sure.

- "Feeling cute, might delete later.

I don't know, though."

- I saw this on Twitter.
It was funny.

- That's so cute. I love that
the hot dog has a life of its own.

You do look cute, hot dog.
I would date you.

- "Steal his look."

- I love the orange spray tan.

- I like how you have
to actually put the ketchup

and mustard on your body.

Do people really dress up
like the dancing hot dog?

- This is going to be
the Halloween costume of the year.

- This is the easiest last minute
Halloween costume

that's ever existed.

- This could be, honestly,
DYI hot dog guy Halloween costume.

Look out. It's gonna come.

- "Stand in the ashes
of a trillion dead souls

and ask the ghosts
if honor matters."

That's [bleep] up.

- (laughing) That's hilarious.

- Oh my god, that's so mean!
That is so mean.

- I like this one.

- Yeah, I know you do.
- Yeah, it's dark.

- That's not right.

- Wow, this is kind of disrespectful.

- (spluttering) To who?
- (laughter)

- "Photoshop and body image."

Ewww! That looks gross.

- That looks disgusting.

- The real one really freaks
me out, like, a lot.

It's scary.

- The feet are really
the worst part to me, I think.

- This one's okay because
there are actual jokes happening.

And I like unrealistic
beauty standards.

- Honestly, you can't trust anybody
for what they look like

in their pictures these days.

It's nuts.

- "You versus the guy
she told you not to worry about."

Oh, shit. (laughing)

- Oh my-- I like how this
can get 32,000 likes.

- (FBE) So these
all came from using

Snapchat's new
dancing hot dog filter.

So have you yourself used
the Snapchat filter yet

and joined the craze?
- No, I deleted Snapchat.

- I also deleted Snapchat.

Instagram video, I'm lazy.

I don't want to change
to another app

to do the same thing I could do
within an app I already use.

- I feel so behind.

I have not used this damn filter.

- I haven't actually.

I tried to use it once,
but it closed on my app

and it made me really upset.

- Yes, I love the hot dog guy.
He's amazing.

I make him dance on my dog.

I make him dance on my boyfriend.

I make him dance on my computer
to show that I'm editing.

- I did one where it
was kinda like

the little girls from The Shining,
where I was in my room

alone at night--
- Oh, that was a good one.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- I did one where
I woke up hung over

and there was bottle of champagne
and a dancing hot dog in my bed,

and I'm like, "Oh no,
what have I done?"

- (FBE) So here we have
the continued use

of augmented reality and technology,
where you can place

something in the real world
on your phone.

- Oh, like Pokemon.

- The first thing
I said when I saw it

was it reminds me of Pokemon Go.
- Yeah.

- Yeah, except
without actual Poke Monsters.

- (FBE) So as a creator,
what do you think

about this technology
and where it may lead

in terms of content?

- I feel like every time
there's something new

with social, which is so cool,
people get so creative,

so, I mean, I don't feel
like it's hard.

It's just a good opportunity
to just do different things.

- I worry that it's
gonna be that you can

make a SIM of someone
and then have them do

something in a video and then
we'll never be able to know...

- What's real.
- ...what was real and what wasn't.

- It's gonna be hard to distinguish
what's real and what's fake anymore

because I feel like as technology
gets better and better,

they are going
to have hologram people,

but they don't look like holograms,
you know what I mean,

which is kind of scary.

- Companies may buy into it
and start creating games,

possibly SIMS VR,
augmented reality on your phone

and I don't know.

It's so weird,
but for Snapchat, it's perfect.

- If there was a way
for it to be used

on all types of video cameras,
I feel like people

could actually make content with it,

and if you could somehow
customize it to look like

whatever you want, I feel like
there's a whole new genre

of videos that no one's made yet.

- The interest in things
like tech development

and graphic design is gonna
skyrocket for the next generation,

which I think is really cool.

Our next Kubrick is gonna
be all like, "What if..."

- (chuckling)
- "...it's all dancing hot dogs?"

- (FBE) Why do you think
that this character in particular

became such a trend,
the hot dog guy?

- What stands out
about the damn hot dog

is that it's freaking funny.

It's so weird.

- The hot dog looks so stupid
and you can interact with it,

so, I mean, I think
it's the recipe there

for something to catch on.

- It just taps into something,
this inner child that we all have,

and you forget
is there a lot of time.

You're like, nah, you know what?

I know the news is scary,

the ice chunk the size
of Delaware just broke off,

but who cares?

Right now, we've got
dancing hot dog.

- I mean, we're starting, though,
at a dancing hot dog.

There's tons of other things
also that actually tap into

zeitgeisty memeable things.

It's kind of limitless now,
what they could do

in terms of experimenting
with characters.

- (FBE) So finally,
we've got the Snapchat filter

on our iPad and we want you
to make a little video

using the Snapchat hot dog filter.
- I can finally do it?

- Oh, what's up, bitch?

Hey! (chuckling) Get it!
Get it! Get it!

Yes!

- He's twerking with the trash can.

This is me.
This is my life.

I have nobody to twerk with.

- Hey, homie, I heard
you're getting lit, yo.

(laughing) 'Ey!

(laughing) 'Ey.

♪ (party music) ♪

Whoaaaaa!

- Ooh, he won't bounce with me.

Oh, here we go.

Whoa, he gets bigger and smaller.

Woo, come here!
No, he's fu--

what are you doing over there?!

Get back here!

He ran away from me.

This was probably the most fun
I've ever had in my life.

(laughing)

If I could do this with
many different things, I would.
