- This is like me in eighth grade.

- What? He looks like Sonic the Hedgehog.

- ♪ Aicha, lady ♪
- I don't think he should have his feet

in the pillow region. It's not sanitary.

- He's got a crazy disco ball
or something or his light thing.

- He's not even using it.
It's just sitting there.

- Turn it on!

- ♪ Sacrifice all the tears in my eyes ♪
- (giggles)

- Those freakin' stars-- I can't.

- Who is this Aicha? And why
does she get all the love songs?

♪ (dramatic chord) ♪

- (Finebros) Do you think
he ever meant for this video

to be publicly released?

- I mean, the production
value was up there.

So I think he intended on its release.

- I'm gonna say he meant.

He meant what he was saying,
and he meant to release it.

That's what makes me feel happy,
so I'm gonna go with that.

- I feel like any video
like this, no. Never.

- No, I'm gonna go with no.
- Star Wars Kid.

- Did he make this for someone privately

and then they laughed at him,
and they posted it?

Is that what happened?

- Well, if that happened,
then that person who posted it

is not very nice.
- I don't like Aicha.

- That's not very nice. Aicha was mean.
- Aicha.

- (Finebros) So this went viral
on sites like eBaum's World.

- Oh, okay, yeah.
- Haha, eBaum's World.

I remember being 13, okay.

- Oh, eBaum, yep. More old school.

- (Finebros) So why do
you think people back then

on sites like eBaum's World
would like a video like this?

- The elements are how
vulnerable the performer is.

- When someone's made something really bad

and they're really, really trying
to make something good,

and you can simultaneously be like,

"This is awful and I love you
so much for trying this."

- He has provided lyrics.
He has used the Star Wars font.

He has tiny teddy bears in the corner.

He put his feet on the pillow.
And he used a lot of gel.

That equals millions of clickers.

- The song reminded me of
The Offspring, "Self Esteem"

for a while. The verse,
I think, is very similar.

He might have some--

Actually, he might have some--
- (Finebros) I don't hear it.

- ♪ No self esteem... ♪
Yeah, I don't see it either.

- ♪ Da da, da-da, da da, da-da ♪

- (Finebros) Hey, you are right!
- Oh, you're right.

- ♪ Okay 'cause I have ♪
- (Finebros) You're totally right!

- ♪ No self esteem ♪
- Matthew's a very talented musician.

- ♪ Aicha ♪
(Finebros snickering)

- He stole it!

- (Finebros) Do you think it's wrong
to share videos like this,

though, if it is someone's
kind of personal video?

- I mean, it might be considered
cruel, to be straight.

But I think, you know,
he's probably laughing at it now.

- I have embarrassing videos
of when I was a kid

doing goofy things.

And if someone was sharing it
and laughing at me,

I would probably laugh too.

- It is cruel. I will say
definitively it's cruel,

because how sad to share
a private moment with a woman

and then have it blow up
and you be embarrassed by it.

- I think there's nothing wrong
with something being made fun of,

because I'm made fun of frequently.
I think you can embrace it

and just go, "Hey,
I entertained all those people.

This thing that I made that was,
quite frankly, really bad

that I didn't intend to get that much seen

is now just this huge thing."

- Other people think he made this

as a love letter to a girl named Aicha.

If that is the case, do you think
this would win over the girl,

or was this just too awkward
to have worked?

- That's such a hard question.
I don't know if it would work.

Depends on this Aicha girl.

- I don't feel like Aicha could
watch that video and say,

"Yes, this is the man for me."

But I like to think that she would have

patted him on the head
and been like, "Thank you."

- Well, I think now you're underestimating

the amount of different kinds
of people that are out there.

There's gonna be one girl.

It might not have been
the girl he intended.

But there's one girl out there who's like,

"Those are killer moves.
Those are the exact same as my moves.

Let's go dancing."

- (Finebros) So if someone did
make a love letter type of video

in this style for you, what
do you think you would do?

- I would love it.

- I'd be appreciative.
I'd be like, "Thanks for the effort."

- I'd be impressed.

It would be one of those
situations where I'd fave it.

- Yeah. You'd fave it?
I think I'd be impressed.

Like, I might do one back.
I'd make my own one.

- I love how you're saying "what if,"

because something like that actually

pretty much happened in my high school.

- Someone wrote a po--
I didn't know he liked me,

and he came up to me
with a scroll of a poem.

I was a little bit creeped out,
but I wasn't mean, I don't think.

I wasn't mean.

- (Finebros) So if this guy happens

to watch this episode of YouTubers React,

where we're talking about
his video 13 years later,

what would you want to say to him?

- Congratulations,
and can you make one for me?

- I'd say make the 13th anniversary
video. Get on it right now.

I want to see if your moves
are any different.

- Call me. We're gonna collab.
You gotta teach me your moves.

- I want to ask him if he still
has his Mickey Mouse sheets.

- I would say do a Vsauce video with me,

because I would love to talk
and interview with people

who were among the first
to experience internet fame.

- Hello, Aicha lover.
Congratulations to you.

I loved your song very much.

Would you like to make an album with me?

I will beatbox and you will
sing sweet tunes of glory.

- (Finebros) So finally, you know
we're gonna have to do this

and ask you. We want
to play the end of the song

and have you do the dance routine.

- Yes.
- (sarcastically) Oh great, yes.

- Please, thank you.
- That's exactly what I wanted

to do today. Thank you.

- ♪ Aicha, Aicha, passing me by ♪

♪ There she go again ♪

♪ Aicha, Aicha, my, my, my ♪

- And it's like how I would dance
when I'm alone, you know?

'Cause you're not worried
about everything going together.

You're just like,
"I'm gonna move this now."

- ♪ Aicha, Aicha, smile for me now ♪

♪ I don't know, I don't know ♪

♪ Aicha in my life ♪
- Oh, that was the best one.

Boom, boom, boom. Boom.

- (giggles)
- Aicha.

- ♪ Aicha in my life ♪
(song ends)

- All right.

- (Finebros clap)
That was really well done.

- I felt that one.
- (Finebros) That was really well done.

- I got chills. I gave myself chills.
