- (Finebros) How'd it make you feel watching that?
- So happy. Just warm and fuzzy and sweet.
And like, that's so-- that's so great.
- Nostalgic.
- Felt like I was watching Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, yo.
- It made me feel happy.
I wish that it was just Carlton and Will on stage.
- Makes me feel happy.
I also have a little bit of awkwardness inside
towards Jaden Smith.
- 12-year-old Jaden that was just dancing like a weirdo.
It'd be like me singing Dan Fogelberg with my dad.
I get it that you're a Smiff, but that is not cool.
- Is there an F in there? - No, but he does an F on everything.
- Okay, that's a little racist. - "Welcome to Earff."
- Isn't that racist? - "Smiff."
- (Finebros) A lot of people are hating on Jaden.
- Really?
Did you see him freestyling onstage just now?
He was killing it, and he probably could rap better
than all the people who talked about him too.
And if they got a problem, they can come see me.
- (Finebros) What was your favorite part of the video?
- I don't really have a favorite part.
I kinda loved and hated all of it.
- When Carlton came out, obviously.

♪ It's not unusual to... (mumbles) ♪
- The fact that Jaden was actually

That's like one of my favorite episodes ever.
- When he went into Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
It's my jam.
- Looking at how happy and amped Will Smith was
to do that, to perform it.
He's happy. He's genuinely happy to perform it willingly.
- He performs that any chance he gets.
So the memory is from probably last week, if there's any memory.
- (Finebros) Did you watch The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?
- Yeah! - Yeah.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah!
- Oh, definitely. - I did.
- I did. I still do.
- Yes! Who didn't watch it?
- Not really.
- I didn't.
I-- oh my god, I'm getting looks here.
- I didn't actually have a TV in my house growing up.
And I saw it at a friend's place a few times.
- I didn't have time for non-cartoons.
- I was definitely more like a Full House kinda kid.
But Fresh Prince, you know,
I would watch it around my black friends to feel cool.
- (Finebros) Can you sing the theme song for us?
- (panicked) How does it start? (gasps)
- I'll do the Full House theme song.

- Was actually longer than that.
That's the shortened version of the actual theme song.
He did a lot for rap,
because a lot of people who didn't respect rap will like rap.
You know, the fact that they knew that and recited that,
it was like, "Oh, you like rap,
'cause you're doing the Fresh Prince theme song.
So don't say you don't respect rap."
- (Finebros) So in this video,
Will Smith bragged about getting millions of YouTube views.
What do you think about that?
- I guess I'm in the right business.
- I mean, just sayin', it's where you need to be,
mainstream media.
- That's cool. That's cool.
I'm not gonna lie. He pays attention to it.
- Never would've thought that one day Mr. Fresh Prince
was gonna brag about how many hits he got on a YouTube video.
- It's a little cocky, Will.
- I like Will Smith a lot.
- Smiff. - I--
- (cracks up)
- People been watching on television now.
He up on it. Will's always up on it.
You see his haircut? He on it.
- I just hate how he calls it "YouTube hits."
- It doesn't say 301 hits right there. It says 301 views.
- (Finebros) Plus. - 301-plus views. (chuckles)
- (Finebros) And why do retro things like this go viral?
- It brings up good memories of the good old days.
- Retro things go viral, Benny,
because it touches on our nostalgia.
- People feel that sense of ownership.
Like, "That was mine back then when I was growing up."
- So in 10 years, when Anthony hears Hannah Montana theme song,
he's gonna go, "That's my jam!!"
- A lot of times, as you get older,
you begin to separate yourself from that
because of work and things like that.
And you become almost like a robot.
And it brings back so many memories
that you just begin to start thinking about things
that you may have just pushed out of your mind.
- I think everybody misses their childhood
and everybody misses the past
and everybody sits in their room and cries
and says, "Why can't I go back? Why don't I have a time machine?
Why did I ruin my life?"
And then seeing a video like this makes you happy for a second.
- We are a generation that just loves to be nostalgic
about last week, let alone a year ago, let alone 10 years ago.
So the further back it is--
like, we are just like, "Oh, I'm a '90s kid."
People love that [bleep].
- (Finebros) Do you think the idea of retro
will still exist in the future,
or do we all watch too many different things now?
- It's true. Like, even going to VidCon and Playlist,
there's so many different YouTubers.
There's even some that I'm like,
"I don't even know who this person is."
- I think there's gonna be fewer things.
But you know, I think "Gangnam Style"--
I think 10 years from now,
everyone is still gonna know that dance.
- I guess it's similar to, in a sense, video games,
because people will be like,
"Oh man, let's go play Nintendo 64."
30 years from now, I'm very interested to see
if people are gonna be like,
"Oh, dude, let's play Call of Duty on our Xbox 360.
That was a classic from our childhood."
- Maybe in 10 or 15 years,
people will be talking about "Friday," like Rebecca Black,
or they'll be talking about internet things.
- I feel like the collective experience is gonna be like,
(oldster voice) "Oh, back in my day, I watched Shane Dawson."
Like, that'll be the collective experience.
Like, you'll look back and remember what YouTubers you watched.
- When I was a kid, it was all about
the family gathering around the TV and watching.
Like, "This is gonna be the premiere..."
- TGIF. - "...of The Simpsons Halloween special."
Or, "This is the premiere of Michael Jackson's new music video."
- They don't have that anymore. - And it was like--
Yeah, it doesn't matter. - Then again, I do wonder if now,
in 20 years, if kids'll sing The Annoying Orange song
or something. - Maybe.
- You know what I mean? - Yeah.
- But I still don't think it's gonna happen
as much as our generation does it with the nostaliga
and wanting our youth, because, you know....
(oldster voice) "kids these days."
