- (FBE) So today, you're going to be reacting to yourself.
- Hmmm? I'm reacting to myself?
- Oh god, are you gonna show me the video when I first started?
I was extremely nervous when I first came here.
- Oh god, do I have to watch my younger self?
I gotta go.
It was Teens React to My Little Pony.
That was six years ago, right?
Oh my gosh!
- I remember the exact day!
I thought I was coming in for an audition for this show.
No. It was THE episode of Teens React.
I was like, "Oh [bleep], all right. Well, that happened."
Very first episode of Teens React, I was the youngest reactor.
- (FBE) Okay, so first, what we're gonna do
is show you a picture of what you look like
in your first episode. - Oh my gosh.
I don't know what I was doing.
I still have the same haircut.
Ugh, little Chelsea was so cringy, so cringy.
I mean, I'm still cringy, but I'm not THAT cringy, you know?
- I'm a [bleep] baby!
Man, braces did me good.
I see where my teeth was scraggly.
- I was a lot more closed off.
Honestly, since then, I'm a lot more open.
I came out since then, which is nice.
I'm able to be myself, be more open.
That's like a little of seed of Sergio right there.
- (FBE) Okay, so now we're going to show you
some footage from your first episode!
- This is gonna be so bad! Just do it. (laughing)
It's going to be painful.
- ♪ And magic makes it all complete ♪
- I was so nervous.
I knew the Fine brothers from watching
Last Moments of Relationships, and going in there
and meeting them and I had to-- I don't know.
I was just like,"Aaah!"
- (FBE) And who do you think this TV show's target audience is?
- (Chelsea) Probably just girls?
- Honestly, yeah, I thought it was just girls.
Honestly, learning about the bronies was a shock.
- (FBE) There are also a lot of people who think
that bronies are like the cancer of the internet.
Why do you think people care so much?
- I have no clue.
They probably have too much time on their hands.
- (chuckling) Savage! Oh my gosh.
I was so mean!
- (FBE) If you were the creator of the My Little Pony show,
and you made this for little girls, but then all of this happened,
how do you think that would make you feel?
- (Chelsea) It would be a little awkward.
- No, now, I'd be like, "Hell yeah, my show's getting views!'
I don't know what I was thinking.
I was little.
Let's just blame it on me being little.
- (FBE) So why do you think we would be showing you this
to you on Teens React? - To see if we remember it?
- That was the dumbest answer. How did I get on this show?
I was nervous. I was sweating.
Just being there and trying to be on it
was a big deal to me.
I was like, I wanted to impress them.
- (Ethan groaning)
- (snickering) That was me already knowing what it was.
- (Ethan) Why? Why? Why?
- I still got the same reactions today.
I had little knowledge and I wasn't excited.
Just like I am for a lot of the stuff we do today.
- (FBE) Have you read the books? - (Ethan) Nope.
- Proudly. I said that so proudly.
"Nope!" Damn right.
- (FBE) So are you Team Edward, Team Jacob, or Team I Don't Care?
- (Ethan) Team I Don't Care. - Hell yeah!
To this day, I will remain Team I Don't Care.
- (FBE) What about the fact that in Twilight, vampires sparkle?
- (Ethan) Let's just hang 'em up and make it a disco ball.
- That's the one! That's the line I remember!
Someone made a comment about it, saying that black kid was funny,
saying that, and I was like, "Yeah!"
- (FBE) Why specifically do girls and women love Twilight?
- (Ethan gushing) Boys! - (snickering)
I'm [bleep] hilarious!
(shrilly) "Boys!"
- (FBE) And what would you say to the Twilight haters?
- (Ethan) Yeah! - (cracking up) "Yeah."
I did not think that was gonna be as funny as it was.
I am proud of myself for making myself laugh.
- (Hazel) Why are you staring at me?
- (Augustus) 'Cause you're beautiful. - (Sergio) Stalker.
- I remember that. I remember that line
because I remember people commented, "Stalker."
- (Augustus) You don't get to choose
if you get hurt in this world, but you--
- Sorry, I don't like seeing myself.
That was the only episode I filmed in their other building.
Their building was extremely small, at least compared to this.
It's amazing to see something you're proud of.
Even if I wasn't a part of seeing this company,
they work so hard and just seeing them grow
to what they have now.
- (FBE) Why is this book specifically-- - Kaelyn, my first friend here.
Prior to when I really made first friends,
I used to text Kaelyn all the time.
- (FBE) And if John Green ended up watching this,
what would you want to say to him? - (Sergio) I love your books.
- Sorry, in that episode, some people had to talk
to John Green, and I didn't.
They sent me an email, "I'm sorry, but he wasn't available
the day you filmed," and I remember I was so heart crushed.
- (FBE) So now that you're officially on Adults React,
what was your biggest takeaway from being on Teens React
for all those years? - The biggest takeaway?
The biggest takeaway was definitely opening me up as a person.
I used to be super shy and wouldn't talk
and I think this show has really helped me--
I don't know, it kinda shaped who I am.
I'm more outspoken now.
I feel like it's okay to have opinions-- because it is.
- The fact that I can go back and watch myself grow up,
I can literally see myself evolve through each stage of my life
as I got older, to this day.
And that part's kind of cool, but also kind of weird
because, you know, I may go back when however old I am.
[Bleep], if this [bleep]'s still going on, I might be on Elders.
Damn.
- It broadened my thought process, broadened my horizon.
I met other people I wouldn't really be friends with.
All these people here, I probably wouldn't talk to
if they went to my school, but they're nice,
and I'm glad I got to experience this because, honestly,
it's an aspect of my life that I admire, that I love,
and I'm glad I got to share my thoughts and everything
with all you guys.
I don't believe my opinions matter more than anybody else's,
but I feel like I should have the opportunity to give them
and to share my point of view.
