    - Yes.
  • 3:15 - 3:16
    - Yeah, I like them.
    They're fun and creative.
  • 3:16 - 3:17
    - When they're funny.
  • 3:17 - 3:20
    - I don't get why people
    are crazy about it.
  • 3:20 - 3:21
    - It's a love-hate relationship
  • 3:21 - 3:23
    between me and the Harlem Shake videos.
  • 3:23 - 3:26
    - When something gets
    so popular, you just--

    - (Finebros) What is your favorite
    Harlem Shake video
  • 3:30 - 3:31
    that you've seen?
    - I don't know,
  • 3:31 - 3:32
    because they're all the same.
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    - The one where the guy
    pours the milk on top of his head.
  • 3:35 - 3:37
    - The one with the military guys.
  • 3:37 - 3:38
    - PewDiePie!
  • 3:39 - 3:42
    - (Finebros) So you like seeing
    a grown man in women's underwear?
  • 3:42 - 3:44
    - (giggles) Sure. That's what
    YouTube's all about.
  • 3:44 - 3:46
    - (discreetly) The Fine Brothers'...
  • 3:46 - 3:47
    not biased.
  • 3:47 - 3:50
    - (Finebros) A lot of memes
    and videos online
  • 3:50 - 3:52
    start out LOVED BY ALL.
    - Hee!
  • 3:52 - 3:54
    - (Finebros) And then after not too long,
  • 3:54 - 3:55
    those same people that think
  • 3:55 - 3:57
    this is the greatest thing of all time
  • 3:57 - 3:59
    hate it.
    - Hate on it?
  • 3:59 - 3:59
    - (Finebros) Why?
  • 3:59 - 4:02
    - I don't know. I'm gonna
    bring out the inner hipster in me
  • 4:02 - 4:03
    and just say that it's too mainstream now.
  • 4:03 - 4:06
    - "What's this? This is weird.
    Okay, this is really funny.
  • 4:06 - 4:08
    Now I wanna be a part of it.
    Okay, it's getting annoying now.
  • 4:08 - 4:11
    I hate it. Let's all get on
    to hating the Harlem Shake thing."
  • 4:11 - 4:13
    It's like a community hate. It's nice.
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    - People have a short attention span.
  • 4:15 - 4:16
    I have a short attention span.
  • 4:16 - 4:19
    In class, I'll pay attention
    for the first 20 minutes.
  • 4:19 - 4:22
    And then I'll be doodling
    a caterpillar on my book.
  • 4:22 - 4:25
    Like, I hope none of my teachers see this.
  • 4:25 - 4:26
    (laughing) But...
  • 4:26 - 4:29
    - People keep hating on them,
    but it's such a fun thing.
  • 4:29 - 4:32
    You can't just be like,
    "Stop it! Stop having fun!"
  • 4:32 - 4:34
    'Cause that's not very nice.
  • 4:34 - 4:36
    What about the people
    that haven't had fun yet?
  • 4:36 - 4:37
    - (Finebros) Well, there have been
  • 4:37 - 4:40
    over 50,000 Harlem Shake videos.
  • 4:40 - 4:43
    - Holy crap. (chuckling) That's too many.
  • 4:43 - 4:44
    - (Finebros) It's so many!
  • 4:44 - 4:46
    Why do people still
    just think, "Oh, I'll do one?"
  • 4:46 - 4:48
    - Uhhhh... you--
  • 4:49 - 4:53
    You've got me, Benny. I have no idea.
  • 4:53 - 4:54
    - So you can tell your kid,
  • 4:54 - 4:56
    "Yeah, I was one of those annoying people
  • 4:56 - 4:57
    with one of those annoying videos."
  • 4:57 - 5:00
    - This person got a lot of views
    on their Harlem Shake.
  • 5:00 - 5:02
    It's like, "I want views!
    I want to get noticed!"
  • 5:02 - 5:03
    - "Yeah, guys, I got a thousand views."
  • 5:03 - 5:05
    "On what video?" "Harlem Shake."
  • 5:05 - 5:06
    "Get out of here. Die."
  • 5:06 - 5:08
    - (Finebros) All right. I'm actually
    now gonna show you the video
  • 5:08 - 5:10
    that they say is
    the original Harlem Shake.
  • 5:10 - 5:11
    - (gasps) Really?
  • 5:11 - 5:13
    ♪ (techno music building) ♪
  • 5:13 - 5:14
    - I've seen this one as well.
  • 5:14 - 5:16
    - Oh, I think I've seen this before.
  • 5:16 - 5:17
    But I didn't know they started it.
  • 5:17 - 5:19
    - Is that an Asian woman?
  • 5:19 - 5:20
    - Power Ranger, I feel you.
  • 5:20 - 5:22
    The pink onesie, okay.
  • 5:22 - 5:24
    - I love the pink guy's arms
    when the bass drops.
  • 5:24 - 5:26
    - ♪ And do the Harlem Shake ♪
  • 5:26 - 5:28
    ♪ (trap music) ♪
  • 5:28 - 5:30
    - Yeah, this is so lame. It's so stupid.
  • 5:30 - 5:33
    - It's so much more simple
    than the rest of 'em.
  • 5:33 - 5:34
    - It's just them humping the air a lot
  • 5:35 - 5:37
    and then feeling each other up.
  • 5:37 - 5:39
    - It's so great! His face!
  • 5:39 - 5:42
    - Yeah, I don't know, guys.
    I don't know about that.
  • 5:42 - 5:43
    I don't know.
  • 5:43 - 5:45
    - (Finebros) So how is it possible
    that this is the original
  • 5:45 - 5:48
    when it's not even the same?
    - Probably because someone saw that
  • 5:48 - 5:52
    and thought, "Oh, let's make it better."
  • 5:52 - 5:53
    - They did it so stupid
  • 5:53 - 5:56
    that people thought
    of a better way to do it.
  • 5:56 - 5:57
    - I think it's like that game telephone,
  • 5:57 - 5:59
    where you whisper in somebody's ear
  • 5:59 - 6:01
    and they whisper it on to the next person.
  • 6:01 - 6:04
    - Everyone has their own
    twist to it or an extra word or two.
  • 6:04 - 6:06
    So there was like an evolution
    of the Harlem Shake.
  • 6:06 - 6:07
    - (Finebros) Do you know
    the name of the artist
  • 6:07 - 6:09
    who made this song that's
    in every single one of these?
  • 6:09 - 6:10
    - Nope.
  • 6:10 - 6:12
    - Oh my gosh. No, I have no idea.
  • 6:12 - 6:15
    - I thought the song
    was made for the video.
  • 6:15 - 6:16
    - The artist is probably unhappy.
  • 6:16 - 6:18
    He's like, "You play my song all the time!
  • 6:18 - 6:20
    You don't even know who I am!
    Who are you people?"
  • 6:20 - 6:22
    - (Finebros) So Billboard
    recently announced
  • 6:22 - 6:25
    that they're starting to count
    YouTube views on songs
  • 6:25 - 6:28
    as part of their weekly
    Hot 100 music chart.
  • 6:28 - 6:29
    - (intrigued) Oh.
  • 6:29 - 6:30
    - (Finebros) Because of that,
  • 6:30 - 6:32
    this song was number one
    on the Billboard Hot 100.
  • 6:32 - 6:33
    - What?
  • 6:33 - 6:34
    - That is so stupid!
  • 6:34 - 6:36
    - That is so cool!
  • 6:36 - 6:37
    - (applauds) Good job!
  • 6:37 - 6:39
    I don't even know his name,
    and he's number one.
  • 6:39 - 6:42
    - That being there doesn't make any sense.
  • 6:42 - 6:43
    - Isn't that kinda like
  • 6:43 - 6:45
    when they play an ad before a YouTube
  • 6:45 - 6:47
    and they count that as a view for the ad?
  • 6:47 - 6:48
    I get so mad at that.
  • 6:48 - 6:49
    - (Finebros) What do
    you think about Billboard
  • 6:49 - 6:51
    counting YouTube views
    as part of determining their chart?
  • 6:51 - 6:55
    - I mean, if I was the guy
    that made the song,
  • 6:55 - 6:56
    I'd be totally for it.
  • 6:56 - 6:58
    - I think it's cool that
    they're incorporating YouTube
  • 6:58 - 6:59
    and they're giving YouTube some credit.
  • 6:59 - 7:01
    - Nobody likes the actual song.
  • 7:01 - 7:03
    They just watch it 'cause of the video.
  • 7:03 - 7:07
    - They're gonna have horrible songs
    being on the top 100.
  • 7:07 - 7:08
    - People will look back
    and be like, "Oh my gosh.
  • 7:08 - 7:10
    Rebecca Black, 'Friday,'
  • 7:10 - 7:13
    that was the best song
    in, like, the 2000s."
  • 7:13 - 7:15
    - (Finebros) Finally, what
    do you want to say to someone
  • 7:15 - 7:17
    who still wants to make
    a Harlem Shake video?
  • 7:17 - 7:19
    - Why not? Go ahead.
  • 7:19 - 7:21
    - Send me the link. (chuckles)
  • 7:21 - 7:23
    - It's done. It's over. Move on!
  • 7:23 - 7:26
    - Your contribution to this fad
    won't make a difference.
  • 7:26 - 7:29
    - Stop it! Just no!
  • 7:29 - 7:31
    - It's over! Just done!
  • 7:31 - 7:32
