  • 0:48 - 0:49
    so it was like one word at a time.
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    - (Cass) "Cass,
    what are you trying to say?"
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    - (laughing) Every time, everyone's like,
    "WTF is going on right now?!"
  • 0:55 - 0:59
    ♪ (dramatic chord) ♪
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    - (FBE) So this prank
    has been around for a while,
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    but a lot of people attribute
    the recent rise in people making it
  • 1:03 - 1:07
    to the first video we showed,
    which was from a YouTuber named Mike Fox.
  • 1:07 - 1:07
    - Oh yeah?
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    - And then everyone jumped
    on it and it went massive.
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    - (FBE) What is it about this that,
    if you're a YouTuber and you see it,
  • 1:12 - 1:13
    you're like, "Oh, I gotta
    make a video like this!"
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    - Well, it gets a lot of laughs.
  • 1:15 - 1:18
    - If you see someone doing something
    so easy and it's doing so well,
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    you're like, "Ooh, well maybe
    I should try that out myself."
  • 1:20 - 1:25
    - It feels like something easy to do,
    that's a lot of fun also.
  • 1:25 - 1:26
    Not just for people watching,
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    but YouTubers always look for
    something that is fun to do.
  • 1:29 - 1:33
    - It also gives you a good excuse
    to start texting your ex again.
  • 1:33 - 1:34
    - Yeah.
  • 1:34 - 1:37
    - If you ever wanted to.
    - I mean, he was in.
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    - (FBE) In recent years,
    a new type of challenge or trend video
  • 1:39 - 1:41
    will spring up from someone
    and then it seems like
  • 1:41 - 1:44
    a lot of different channels on YouTube
    will then make a similar video.
  • 1:44 - 1:46
    Does it bother you when you see
    people doing the same kind of thing,
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    or do you not really care,
    considering the people
  • 1:48 - 1:50
    really seem to enjoy it.
    - It's a light irking.
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    It's a very light irking
    just because everyone has to do
  • 1:53 - 1:57
    the 100 Layers Challenge,
    everyone has to do the Cinnamon Challenge.
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    - It's like a weird phase.
    It didn't use to be like this.
  • 1:59 - 2:00
    - It kills me.
  • 2:00 - 2:03
    - But then there's still people
    like Ryan Higa, who are killing it
  • 2:03 - 2:05
    and they do such original, cool stuff.
  • 2:05 - 2:09
    - I like seeing people's interpretations
    of those sorts of trends, right?
  • 2:09 - 2:12
    You're able to see pranks like this,
    or challenges like the Condom Challenge,
  • 2:12 - 2:16
    through different creators' eyes,
    and so you're able to see
  • 2:16 - 2:18
    kind of their personality infused
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    into these otherwise kind
    of YouTube wide trends.
  • 2:20 - 2:23
    It really makes YouTube
    feel like a community,
  • 2:23 - 2:26
    but still different enough
    that I'm able to appreciate
  • 2:26 - 2:27
    the videos separately.
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    - (FBE) This prank has been
    accused of being fake.
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    What do you think?
    - I don't think so.
  • 2:31 - 2:34
    I mean, it's not that harmless,
    where I think that people
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    would have to fake it.
  • 2:36 - 2:37
    - I don't know.
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    There's a lot of fake stuff
    on the internet.
  • 2:39 - 2:41
    The internet is known
    for being full of hoaxes.
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    - Some people are so desperate
    to have a viral video
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    or a break or whatever, that it's like,
    "Hey, mom, can you text me this back
  • 2:46 - 2:47
    when I say this?"
  • 2:47 - 2:48
    - It's really easy.
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    I could say that I'm pranking
    an ex-boyfriend
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    and I could be just texting him.
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    - Yeah, she could tag me
    as psycho-ex in her phone.
  • 2:55 - 2:59
    - If he turns it around and suddenly
    I'm surprised and it's like,
  • 2:59 - 3:03
    "Lyric Prank Gone Wrong,"
    and I put that in the title,
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    everyone's gonna click on it.
    It's gonna get tons of views.
  • 3:05 - 3:07
    It's just too convenient.
  • 3:07 - 3:10
    - (FBE) If this prank is done
    for real on somebody,
  • 3:10 - 3:12
    is this going to far
    with people's emotions,
  • 3:12 - 3:14
    or is it harmless?
    - No, it's harmless.
  • 3:14 - 3:15
    It's all just a goof.
  • 3:15 - 3:17
    'Cause, you know,
    it's somebody that you know.
  • 3:17 - 3:20
    - I grew up with a ton of siblings
    and we pranked each other all the time
  • 3:20 - 3:22
    and if, I don't know,
    if you can't take a joke
  • 3:22 - 3:25
    then I don't know-- maybe it wasn't
    that solid of a relationship
  • 3:25 - 3:26
    to begin with.
  • 3:26 - 3:29
    - This one's harmless enough
    that it's not a big deal.
  • 3:29 - 3:33
    It's not like-- they're song lyrics
    at the end of the day.
  • 3:33 - 3:37
    There's a little bit of confusion,
    but ultimately, I think--
  • 3:37 - 3:41
    - You're not throwing milk
    in someone's aisle in their supermarket.
  • 3:41 - 3:44
    You know? It's nothing so crass--
    - I like that that's the one you went to!
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    - The biggest challenge
    on YouTube, in general,
  • 3:46 - 3:50
    is a lot of people using relationships,
    and exploiting their relationships
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    with other people to get views.
  • 3:52 - 3:55
    Um, and I think, you know,
    "Oh, we're gonna break up.
  • 3:55 - 3:58
    Oh, I'm gonna, you know,
    prank this other person
  • 3:58 - 4:00
    and we're gonna have
    this prank battle or whatever,"
  • 4:00 - 4:02
    I think that falls into
    a weird line in a lot of cases.
  • 4:02 - 4:04
    Where I would have a hard time
    forgiving someone
  • 4:04 - 4:08
    is if it's, "Hey, you did this to me,
    and now you're posting it online
  • 4:08 - 4:12
    and you're expecting to get
    millions of views off of our relationship."
  • 4:12 - 4:15
    Suddenly, you have
    commoditized what we have
  • 4:15 - 4:20
    for shameless, you know, view-bating
    and monetization on YouTube
  • 4:20 - 4:23
    and I think that's where
    a lot of those sorts of things
  • 4:23 - 4:27
    start to fall into a weird,
    grey territory for me.
