- Oh my god! - (FBE) We were curious as to how
each of you would actually do this challenge.
- Oh really?
(loud thud) (water sloshing)
- Oh! Ahhh!
♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we're gonna show you a new challenge.
- All right. I'm into the challenging thing.
- (FBE) And it recently went viral and has taken the internet by storm.
- Challenges that went viral? Is it the water bottle
kicking challenge? - I might know what it is.
There's this one challenge that I've seen the most recently:
The bottle cap challenge.
- Oh my god. - No way.
- I've seen this before, and it's really cool.
- This is a trend. I know this is kicking the lid
off the top without getting a hernia.
- Oh! Oh, look at him.
- A karate chop... on a bottle top.
- You have to have precision to do that.
I can't coordinate my feet that well, so... (laughs)
- (FBE) We have a lot more to show you in a second,
but that was a video posted on Instagram
by Taekwondo world champion-- I hope I'm pronouncing
this correctly-- Farabi Davletchin.
- Yeah, I could tell. You had the moves
and those hips. - (FBE) It appears as though
he was the one to start this and originally he called it
the "Fara kicks" challenge and tagged a few people
he thought should try it next. - Right. I'm sure you have
to be very talented to be on his list.
He didn't contact me. - (FBE) We're gonna do our best
to walk you through this brief history of this challenge.
But, of course, it's always hard to be 100% sure of exactly
how it all happened. - Okay.
Let's see who these people are.
- Okay, this guy looks very serious, very accurate.
- Oh, wow. This guy's good.
- (softly) Ohh. (claps) All right!
- Ah, how? I don't understand!
So precise. - Oh, man. That's a nice kick.
See? That's impressive! That's [bleep].
- It was cool how the person was holding it,
and then he kicked this way, and then the cap went that way.
- That was Errolson Hugh, who then challenged
UFC fighter Max Holloway. - Wow.
- Yeah, this is the first one I saw.
- Oh my god!
- Look at that! It's still spinning.
- See, that one was good, 'cause it didn't fly off.
That's a controlled kick right there. - Look at that smug face right there.
He knows he did something great. - So impressive.
What a great party trick. - (FBE) Max then challenged
John Mayer and this happened. - Oh, I haven't seen this one.
- John Mayer? Not the singer. What?!
- Dude, out of all people, John Mayer?
- Oh!
- Nice. - All right!
- It went just flying up the air.
- It's cool the way everyone's getting in on the challenge.
It's also funny to see people fail. In general, it's pretty cool.
- (FBE) Then John Mayer challenged Jason Statham...
- Ooh. (gasps) Wait! Oh, I love him. (laughs)
Oh my god. - (FBE) ...who was actually
also challenged by the first guy who did it,
and here's his response. - Wow, this is like a daisy chain.
- Oh, yeah, yeah. I've seen this one.
- Oh, that's beautiful. Beautiful form.
- Ahh. (laughs) - See? Yeah-- wow. Wow.
That focus? Yeah, I think he might have had the best one.
- Oh-- whoa!
Woo! Yeah. Yeah. That's right.
- Of course. (laughs) I mean, he's just an action star.
I expected nothing less. - Posture, composure, the face.
I mean, he's an actor, so he knows. - They had to have thought this out.
They couldn't just go wah-pam! They had to think of
where should my foot go, what area, because, as I'm a dancer,
you can't just go whip out some à la secondes.
You have to go diagonal, (snaps) open, diagonal, (snaps) open.
- (FBE) And then Jason challenged Conor McGregor,
who was also challenged by the original poster.
- Oh, yeah. And he did the whole promo thing
with his Proper whiskey bottle. He's a businessman dude.
That was funny.
- That's great cinematography. (laughs)
- Boom. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. Proper Twelve. Has to.
That promo! - See, this one's great.
This one's cinematic. He filmed it horizontally.
Look at that. He's definitely using
a prime lens or something.
- (laughs) - That's great.
God, this is great. What fun, huh?
- I like it a lot. This is so cool.
I genuinely like this challenge. It's interesting to watch.
- It looks kind of cool. And once I see it, just...
I wanna try it. - (FBE) At this point,
the challenge started to really catch on
and some other celebrities also started to get in
on the action. - Ooh. I'm excited to see
who else did this.
♪ (soft instrumental music) ♪ - Ryan Reynolds.
I love this man with all of my heart.
I'm excited. What is he gonna do?
- He's carrying a bottle around. - Okay, this is the bottle itself now.
Maybe it's gonna kick the hat off somebody.
- He's gonna do it, too.
(glass shattering) - Pfft. (chuckles)
(glass shattering) (music stops)
- Well, that is probably what I would do.
- My king! I love-- yes! (claps) - This is, like,
next-level brand deals. - Ah, what a gem.
That would be me, though. I related to that on a spiritual level.
- Props to you, Ryan. (claps) Did it very well.
- (chuckles) What? A blindfold?
- Oh, blindfolded? What?
Oh, come on! - See, that's sick.
- Wow. Very nice.
- No. I don't believe that. I don't care if you tell me
that he did it. You got the wrong information.
- See, that's hard to do, 'cause you're jumping up
instead of a straight hook. - I have no words.
That's insane. - That's hard.
You have to have some specific skill for that.
- Oh my goodness. (laughs)
- ♪ (Mariah belts high note) ♪ - Ohh!
- ♪ (Mariah belts high note) ♪ - Wow. That is terrific!
- ♪ (Mariah belts high note) ♪
- Bruh. All right. Dude, challenge over.
Challenge over. Everyone stop.
- Just sings, and it spins off.
I don't know how. - Wow, that one was impressive.
- (FBE) Celebrities and athletes aren't the only ones participating
in this challenge, so we're gonna show you
some fun ones that we've seen circulating the internet
to see what you think. - I am excited. I like fun videos.
- This sounds exciting!
- This guy's a gymnast. - Whaaat?
- Yo. What?! - Uh-uh.
(squeals softly) - Oh my god. Oh my god.
Look at him go. Oh, shoot.
Oh my god. Yeah! That was so cool!
- That's crazy. Absolutely crazy.
- I think it's challenging, you know what I mean?
I think it is a challenge. Like, if you can't kick,
yeah, you're gonna have to try a couple of times
before you could do it.
- Oh my god, stop. No. - Whoa! So this guy got him
with his spoiler. - What?!
- I don't even know if that's real, man.
I don't even know if that's real.
- That seems way harder to do than something
with your feet, driving. That's sick. That was cool.
- Oh, you got the pets doing it now! Of course, you're holding the pet.
- Oh my god. It's so cute!
- The dog's like, "Yo, what are you doing right now?"
- Please, please, do it. Yeah. You got it.
I believe in you. Oh my god.
You're so close. You got it.
- Oh my god. (giggles) This is very suspenseful.
- You almost got it. Come on. You almost got it.
You almost got it. You almost got it!
- Okay, I'm waiting for this thing to crash.
- There we go! - There we go. (claps)
There we go. That's nice.
- It took a while, but it was worth it.
- This guy finally did it, huh?
- Hey! Somebody is screwing it off. Okay. (chuckles)
- Oh my god, stop! Oh my god! That's so funny.
- Pfft! What the [bleep]?!
- (laughs)
- Oh. Yeah. Yup. (laughs) This is great.
This one's my favorite so far. - Pretending like he kicked it off.
Okay. Cute. - He didn't actually kick it off,
because I saw those fingers, like...
- I love the challenge.
I wanna do it myself. Like, now I'm seriously
considering to do it. I'm probably gonna play around with it
and see what's up. It's a physical thing.
Like, can you reach and then can you make the cap come off?
It's the double challenge. - (FBE) So, we have a bunch
of different generations in today, and we were curious as to how
each of you would actually do this challenge.
- Oh, really? Mm-hmm. (laughs)
- (FBE) So, we're actually gonna have you try this out for yourselves.
- Sure. No [bleep]. I'll try anything. I don't care.
Bring it on, man. - Okay. Yeah, I got this.
I did ballet when I was, like, six. I got this
(loud thud) (water sloshing)
- (laughs)
- (chuckles) (in slow-mo) Woo.
Hey! Hey.
- My credit cards. All right, you ready?
Boom! That was so-- AHH, YES!
(loud thud)
(loud thud) - (cheering in slow-mo)
Kind of did it.
(cap scraping)
(claps) Hi-yah!
(loud thud) (water sloshing)
- Oh! Ahhh! (laughs) That is sick!
- (FBE) So, like we said earlier, all these videos you saw today
were part of what is being called the bottle cap challenge.
It's been a little while since an internet challenge
has really gone viral like this. So, how do you think this challenge
compares to other internet challenges you've seen in the past?
- Well, this one requires some real expertise,
some real skill. - This one is actually something
that takes practice, and I think that's what makes it
kind of interesting and different.
- You have to take your time and practice and know
what you're doing. Try not to hit something.
That's probably why it's called a challenge.
It's a lot more challenging than the other ones.
- (FBE) As you saw today, people often like to provide
their own creative interpretations for challenges like these.
- Right. That I like. There's lots of things you can do
within this challenge that would get the same result.
- (FBE) If people go off of what an internet challenge technically is
and put their own unique spin on it, would you still consider them
participating in the challenge or do you think it becomes
a parody of the challenge at that point?
- It's doing the challenge. You know, I think it's doing
the challenge. You don't have to
do it like everybody else. But if you're doing it,
you're doing it. - Just throw a spin on the challenge.
If they wanna be funny, then it's a funny way
of doing the challenge. If they wanna do it
in a different way like that one breakdancing guy,
then they do it in their own little way.
It's not a parody of the challenge if you're still doing the challenge.
- It's a parody. Let's be real. It's a parody.
And that's cool too, man, because, honestly,
it builds on the challenge. - They're just being silly,
but it's good to see the serious people first
and then you add a silly spin to it.
- I think a little bit of both, because you are technically
participating in the challenge, 'cause it's called
Bottle Cap Challenge, not bottle cap kick challenge, right?
Like, that's what it started at. So, this is like your own version.
Maybe you can't do the kicking skills
or you gotta use a car to knock it off.
- It is a parody, but I definitely don't discredit it whatsoever,
because I think it's fun to watch the sort of
different perspectives and the different takes on it.
It makes it cooler. - (FBE) So finally,
you participated in the challenge today,
but do you think this is a trend that other members
of your generation would wanna watch or even participate in?
- Maybe, because they might just be like, "Nah, I'm too tired.
I don't wanna do it," like my sister sometimes.
- Yeah. Yeah. I think people within the generation
and probably every generation, they'd be down.
- I think they would. And even if you
can't do it successfully, it'll just be a great joke,
and people will laugh at it. - Kids and teens are probably
the ones who are gonna be watching that type of challenge the most,
'cause it's interesting. I feel like adults and elders
probably won't get it, or they won't really care.
- Anybody from any age could relate to this.
You know, whether you're seven or you're 40, you're like,
"Can I do it?" because it's challenging.
- Absolutely not. Now, this is fun.
I'm not saying they wouldn't enjoy it once or-- looking at it a little bit,
some clever, you know, depiction. But I believe we're trying
to find more meaningful things at the end of our life.
- I think they'd wanna participate. We've done a lot of crazy things
on these episodes, so this one will fall right in line.
- Thanks for watching this episode of Generations React.
