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