- Oh, dude, it's the Flipping Challenge! - I could do this.
- What is-- what is going on?
- What is this? (chuckling)
- Oh, snap. That was dope.
- OH! Grand, this is great.
Wait, I'm sad because he practiced so much.
- That's extremely impressive.
- All right, that's just [bleep] dope.
Oh, don't dab.
- Oh, he's doing the dab.
- (laughing) - Dude! That is skills.
- That actually-- see, he's dabbing! - Yeah!
- The dab is dead. Stop dabbing, people.
- (laughing) I love... we don't get the dab in Mexico.
That's so cool. I'm gonna start doing that.
- When did this become a thing?
- (laughing)
- (snickering)
- Are they...? Ah, why? (laughing)
- Oh my god. (laughing) What?
- God!
Okay, I appreciate the art of what he is doing,
but then he just ruined it by being an asshole at the end.
- And the-- and the...
- I don't think the teacher's gonna like that.
Stop dabbing!
- Yeah! Oh! - Yeah, that was cool.
- So is this just like recess time or what? Whoa!

- I would love to know what school allows this much free time.
- Is this an actual school? What is happening in school these days?
- Oh, dude-- what?! The doubles?
- Yo! - Yeah, buddy!
- (chuckling) Oh damn.
- (snickering) I love this. I think this is awesome.
- Why? You have to wonder.
Really, right? Why?
- Is that like that water bottle thing, kind of?
Is that where it started?
- Dabbing is out of hand. - No, it's not!
- People don't know where it comes from!
- It doesn't matter.
That's the dance of our people.

- (FBE) So would you say that you enjoyed watching this?
- I don't get what the [bleep] was the point.
- I enjoy it.
- Did you enjoy that? - I did enjoy it.
- I loved it.
- Yeah, they were really fun. They were really skilled.
- 100%, yes! - I totally enjoyed watching it.
- Yeah! I mean, can I follow them on Snapchat?
What the hell?
- I thought it was cool.
They make it look so effortless, you know?
You look at it like...
- I actually, surprisingly, enjoyed it.
I think the dabbing really saved it for me.
- It's just funny 'cause this is the kind of stuff
that I would've done in high school.
Now it's like, you know, you could do something
stupid like that and it'll just become this huge sensation.
- (FBE) So this is the Chair Flip Challenge.
- Because everything is a challenge.
- Everything is a challenge! Why didn't I think of that?
- It's like the bottle one, right?
But now with chairs. That's smart.
- (FBE) It was started by those two high schoolers in New Zealand.
- Of course, they're New Zealanders.
It was the blue socks.
- I guess there's not really much else you can do in New Zealand, huh?
Kidding, I love New Zealand.
[Bleep].
- (FBE) After multiple uploads, has well over 20 million views
on Facebook alone. - What?!
- How did I miss this?
- (FBE) What is it about this video that people just love?
- Maybe people just like to see little victories.
- It's enjoyable for me because it's something that I could do.
If I wanted to.
- It looks like it's easy. Everyone has a chair.
- You also anticipate their reaction to it.
How are they gonna celebrate this time?
- I watch it for the chair. I stay for the dab.
- (FBE) It seems like the flipping challenges
really started to pick up when there was a video
of someone flipping a water bottle onto a table,
and it went super viral.
How do you think chair flipping compares to water bottle flipping?
- Oh, it's way more impressive.
- I've tried to flip water bottles. I've tried to flip chairs.
The bottles are a little bit harder.
- The water bottle one was cool
because it's just a smaller object, and requires such precision.
- I like better the water flip, actually.
I think, I haven't really tried it, but I think it's way harder.
- I mean, the chair definitely has higher stakes.
You can really get a little crazy with the chairs
just because of the variation of chairs that you could choose from.
- The variety of tricks you can do-- the stacking thing,
that's something you can't really do with the bottles.
They've upped the stakes, the bouncing, to be able to flip
one way and then land.
And then you can sit in it, and then they dab.
- (FBE) Do you keep up with challenges generally?
Is that something that, when you're making content,
you think, "Oh, I gotta know what the challenge is so I can do it."
- No, I probably should.
I probably should definitely watch more.
- I've definitely done them in the past.
Not so much recently.
- Not all of them, but the ones that I'm really interested in,
or I feel they were fun to do, I do it!
- Not really.
I mean, I'm super lost.
The Harlem Shake, I did it like a month later.
- I keep up with it because of the content I make,
but I still don't care.
I keep up because my audience informs me.
- Unless I am gonna make a parody about it,
like when I have to do research.
I don't actively watch challenge videos.
- I generally don't do challenges,
but that's probably why I'm not as relevant as I would like to be.
So maybe I should start.
I'll flip this chair! I don't care!
- No. (laughing)
I didn't even know mine was a challenge.
When someone did 100 layers of liquid lips on their face,
then I realized it was a challenge.
- (FBE) So finally, it's time to see if you can do this challenge.
- No!
- Oh hell yeah!
- Oh shit.
- (FBE) We have a chair that's similar,
and we're gonna see if you can do it.
- We're gonna try it? Oh my god, yes!
- I would love to try it. - All right.
- I am so excited.
- Game on. Game on, boys.
- Let me try again. I gotta try again.
- All right, okay, we're here.
- Oh!
- Oh, NO! No!
- It's all snap in the wrist. It's all it is.
Really close.
- What is this?!
- Dang it.
- Okay, hold on. - You gotta choose.
No. - (groans)
- (both) OH!
- (wheezing)
You kinda just threw the chair.
Mm. Bendy leg. (cracking neck)
- Get the-- oh, jeez, yeah, break your neck.
Right in the neck.
- You gotta get all the kinks out.
Oh damn! - That was close.
- Oh my god! Oh my god!
- (FBE) Your first try. - It doesn't even make any sense.
- (FBE) Do you want a second? - No.
Then I'll jinx myself.
I want 100% chair flip accuracy.
- AAAH! AAH!
Look at that! That was the first try!
Can I twerk instead?
(laughing)
- Whoa! I'm sorry.
- They did it without looking, you know?
Maybe that's the key.
Maybe it's...
(spluttering)
- I'm gonna run back...
Okay, that was off camera, but it landed.
- There you go. There you go.
Just like-- just like [bleep] that.
That's how I do it.
- Oh god!
AAAAAAH!
- It it like this or like down?
- (FBE) You're, like, flipping it an extra whole step.
- Oh, like-- just like trying to do something like that?
- (FBE laughs) - Oh, I mean-- I mean, oh yes.
Yes.
- Double flip. - One, two, three.
OH!!!
- Got him!
Oh!
- (both) OH!!!
- (FBE laughs)
- Can I do two chairs?
Can you chant my name?
I swear to god, it helps with everything.
- (FBE) Gabbie, Gabbie, Gabbie, Gabbie, Gabbie, Gabbie!
- Son of a bitch!
- Look, if like when it's landing, then he comes and sits on it, magic!
'Ey!
Ta-da! - Oh!!!
- Oh shit! (laughter)

If you don't subscribe to them, this guy's gonna come
bounce a chair off your head.
Yeah, that's right.
- And it's gonna land on its feet, though.
- Well, bye, guys. Take care.
Well, that's all for today's video.
Adios! (bye)
