- No, turn it off! Turn it off!
Nope, no Jake Paul. Turn it off.
- That's Tom! Tom and Madison.
- They made it in. That's awesome!
- (FBE) So, what was your favorite video
you got to be in this year? - Oh my gosh, that's so hard.
- ♪ (rock intro) ♪
- Space. YouTube Rewind.
- Oh, it's YouTube Rewind.
- It's YouTube Rewind! - Shh.
- I hate this one in particular.
- (Colbert) Welcome back to YouTube Rewind.
We've got two special guests with us.
- Lele Pons, Liza Koshy, okay.
- (Colbert) Tell me about 2017. - Whoa, whoa.
- ♪ Despacito ♪ - Okay, Despacito I know.
- It's like they had to put this song in it 'cause it
was so big this year.
- This is my jam. I don't know who they are,
but yes. Oh, that was Grace.
- ♪ Suave, suavecito Nos vamos pegando ♪
♪ Poquito a poquito ♪ - Trying to give everyone
a seizure here.
- Fidget spinners. I forgot about those.
- KSI and the fidget spinner. That's a doubled up right there.
- That's pretty cool.
- I think this was the best part.
- I remember fidget spinners and the only reason
I had a fidget spinner was because I got a free one at Vidcon.
- Oh, salt bae.
- Rhett and Link. I don't know who that
other guy is, though.
- I don't know who they are, I'm sorry.
- Dude, that looks so fun.
- That looks like fun. I'd love to do that.
- Ugh, no.
- Shooting Star meme. Great, okay.
- Shooting Star. One of my favorite memes
of this year.
- It's so weird how long the year feels,
'cause that felt like definitely last year.
- Let's see how many people I know out of these people.
- I'm trying to see how many YouTubers I can pick out.
- The eclipse.
- Okay, Casey.
- This like a Taylor Swift thing?
- Cash me outside. Rick Rolling.
All Star. Oh, are these dead memes?
- All Star. It's one of the best songs
of all time.
- Was that Caspar and then Sophia and Anthony?
- Oh my God, he dabbed.
- There was a bit of overuse of the Shooting Star meme.
- Oh great, another one, 'cause you weren't sick of it
the first time.
- Poppy and Lilly.
- I love Poppy. I loved Poppy before she was big.
- An eclipse? Okay, that's cool.
See, that's cool. A play button eclipse.
I like that.
- I like how they kind of put a serious message in here.
- All the YouTubers coming together.
- As much as YouTube Rewind is about memes and stuff,
it's also about a community.
- It's pretty cool seeing all these people come together
to do one video.
- Jake Paul.
- It wouldn't be a feakin' YouTube Rewind without the Pauls.
- No, turn it off! Turn it off!
Nope, no Jake Paul. Turn it off.
And Logan Paul. No.
- That's Tom! Tom and Madison.
- Aw, you see Tom.
- Oh my God, and Maddie? What?
- They made it in! That's awesome.
- I was waiting to see if any reactors were gonna be in it,
but I wasn't looking in the background.
- Ooh, Les Twins.
- Backpack kid. Dan and Phil.
- Is that Brock? No way, what a beast!
- It's because reactors have been on there and I'm like,
"Heck yeah! Represent!"
Like representing us. Maybe next time,
not with the Paul brothers.
- I loved that challenge. - That was a great challenge.
- (Poppy) I'm Poppy. - I'm Poppy.
- (Big Shaq) Mans not hot. - Man's not hot.
Men can never be hot.
- Oh, Mark. I love Markiplier.
- This remix is actually really good.
- It's crazy how many people are involved in this one platform.
- YouTube is so large and you don't think of them as all interconnected
and stuff until you see videos like this.
- (Colbert) Sorry guys, looks like you were interrupted there.
You were about to tell me about 2017.
- (Liza) It was good.
- Oh, this is cute. I like this ending.
- Oh my God, Theodd1sout. I love him.
- That's cool how they included animations,
'cause I don't think they had any of those in previous years.
- YouTube Rewind is never gonna be 100% everything that happened
there that year, but they do do a pretty good job of covering
the main things.
- A lot of tragedies happened, and I'm glad they included that,
'cause you can't just have a video full of fun without
including some of the bad that came with it.
- I don't think this was their best year that they made this,
but it's just weird every year to look at how many people
are involved in YouTube as a whole or the internet.
It's crazy.
- Guys, we're finally on YouTubers Rewind.
That's insane. To be on there is so crazy
and to be like, I'm in Fine Bros and they're
representing them, it's like my heart's there.
So, thank you guys.
- (FBE) So, we showed this to YouTubers when Rewind
first came out, but we always like to get a fan perspective
as well, so we wanted to see what teens thought.
Is YouTube Rewind something fans of YouTube are still
excited about? - I don't know.
To be honest, at this point, I don't know.
Before, I feel like I heard a lot of buzz about it,
but now it's just like I didn't really hear about it
until the day it came out.
- It's one of those things that you just watch and you're like,
"This is so nice." And also, they just put it
on the YouTube hub page, so you're kind of forced
to watch it.
- It's not necessarily something that I look forward to
throughout the year, but as soon as it comes out,
I'm like, "Oh my God, YouTube Rewind.
Let me go watch."
- When it first started, seeing your favorite YouTubers
in the same video was awesome, but then now, it's like,
I've already seen them in the video before,
so it's not as exciting.
- You just kinda forget what goes on, so it's cool
to see what was really big and popular throughout the year.
- It's just a cool recap, almost like a time capsule
for the year, I guess.
- To see how it's something new every single year
and they always have the memes and they always add
the little things in there. Even your favorite YouTubers,
when they're part of it, of course you're gonna
go watch it. So, I always looked up to it.
- I've been watching YouTube since I was probably ten, eleven,
and looking at that every year was super exciting,
because I was always such a fangirl that I was like,
"Oh my God, there's this person and this person." it was like,
"Oh my God, everyone's all together."
It was so exciting. I think it's such a cool production
that they put together every year.
- (FBE) This year's rewind, in the first 24 hours,
became the most disliked of all Rewind videos
and it currently has more than 1.5 million dislikes.
- That makes no-- what?
- Maybe people think that they're picking the wrong YouTubers.
Like when I said "I like KSI." but a lot of people don't like KSI.
- Everyone is so into who they like and dislike now.
Everyone's feelings are so strong that you miss one thing
and they're like, "Nope, I don't like it."
- One of the things YouTube is doing is they'll--
you have to be family friendly. Idubbbz is not family friendly.
I don't think Ricegum's family friendly, but certain people
who maybe put out fantastic content for their viewers
weren't in YouTube Rewind, because it wasn't fantastic content
from a corporation's point of view.
- If you're gonna put Jake Paul in your vid--
you can put anyone in, because, I mean, what?
Sometimes it's the language that's too much,
but, I mean, Jake Paul's running amok everywhere,
breaking laws.
- I just don't see how people agree with putting
the Paul brothers in, or Jake Paul specifically,
but not all these other YouTubers that do have
controversial content, but at the same time
it hits a lot of people.
- (FBE) And once again, this year from many creators,
there are lots of issues with YouTube such as
demonetization and changes in YouTube's algorithm
and recommendation engine. From a viewers perspective,
how have you seen YouTube change this year?
- Honestly, you're asking the wrong person.
I genuinely don't know, 'cause I've just been watching
these little small vegan YouTube channels, that's it.
- The content has changed. I feel like it's a lot
more safe, ad friendly than it used to be.
- Recommendations were a little off, and then I feel
like content was a little skewed for a little while,
'cause of all the problems, people were just covering that,
what was happening. Everyone really flocked
to the drama this year.
- When I go through videos, it doesn't show me
more videos like this, but more videos--
- From a person. - I don't know.
But videos I've already seen, so it'd be like
"Recommended for you." - Yeah.
- And it's like, well probably recommended.
I've seen that video like eight times.
- They only ones I see notifications for is bigger
YouTube channels, not like my smaller
YouTube channels that I love to watch.
I have to manually type them in and check
how many videos they upload and it's a trip because when
I check how many videos they upload, it'll be several
that I missed.
- There used to be certain YouTubers that would always
be in my recommended bar, that just aren't anymore
and then you don't realize that you're not watching
them anymore until all of a sudden you go, "Wait, whatever happened
to blank?" and that's been happening more recently.
- Nowadays, you have to click this little bell
on the icon and that lets you know that your YouTubers
have posted something so you can get a notification,
so when they first did that, nobody knew.
But nowadays, it's like, "Oh, I have to go back
to all my YouTubers, click on the bell."
It's kind of annoying. Like an extra step to it.
- (FBE) So, what was your favorite video you got
to be in this year? - Oh my Gosh.
That's so hard. You know what?
I think my favorite react video that we did this year
was the Backstreet Boys. 'Cause I love a good boy band
and then after we filmed that, they tweeted me.
I love boy bands. I can never tell them apart,
but I love 'em all.
- I really liked the life hacks one. I was dying the whole time.
I just thought they were so funny.
- It's gotta be the Mans Not Hot.
♪ The ting goes skrrrra. Pop, pop, ka, ka, ka. ♪
♪ Skidiki pap pap. ♪
- I reacted to the 100 year old yearbook.
That was dope.
This principle picture looks like it belongs on a dollar bill.
- The try not to laugh challenges, because even though I fail at them,
I think it's just being able to watch what people submit
and having that make you laugh is a big deal.
- The food one that-- the special, I filmed it with Seth
and they had a chef come in and create the food
that we're reacting to.
This can probably be classified as torture.
No, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it.
I fully thought that at the end of the episode,
after the cameras stopped rolling that they would be like,
"Okay, but you can still try the food."
So, I had that in my mind the entire time
and they didn't let us try the food.
- They free speech video was really pertinent
and especially topical with what's happening right now.
I really love the videos where you get to express our opinions
on more than just the Shooting Star meme.
- I wasn't in it, but I was in it, if that makes sense.
It was when you guys reacted to Club Mickey Mouse.
- Oh hey, he's from here.
- Oh, that's my dude Will.
- Oh my gosh, look at him. I'm so proud.
- That was definitely my favorite episode.
I actually almost cried when I first watched it,
'cause I was like "That's crazy how you guys are so supportive of me
and my career."
- (FBE) So finally, are you looking forward to
YouTube Rewind 2018? - No, no, no,
because I know it's just gonna be a bunch of Viners again.
- I'll see what 2018 has to offer before I say whether or not
I'm excited for YouTube Rewind 2018.
- Of course, I look forward to it every year, so regardless
of how it turns out, if people hate it or like it,
I'm gonna watch it still.
- If I'm a part of it, then yes, but if not, then yes.
Always, I love watching YouTube Rewind.
