- This is, I think, the most bizarre video I've ever watched.
- What is this? - I don't know.
- The production budget's amazing though.
- What are we watching?
- Some girls are into anything apparently.
(robotic Trump powers up)
You know what? I would vote for him if he looked like this.
- This is totally the type of thing that you would see
in a Japanese commercial.
- Is Donald Trump, like, sa-- okay, I was just gonna say,
"Is he saving the world," and then goes and blows it up.
♪ (electronic dance music) ♪
(energy beam warbles) - Trump!
Stop it!
- Is that-- I'm feeling like that's a pretty accurate representation
of what would happen if he became president.
- What just happened? (laughing)
- It's not funny because it's scary because it could be true.
- That was a vision of the future. - Yeah.
- I'm glad our tour ended before November. - Good luck, guys.
♪ (dramatic chord) ♪
- (Finebros) So what do you think about this video?
- Like, IDK, bro. (laughing)
- I have no idea what I just watched.
Like, genuinely, I have no absolutely no idea what that was.
- That was the most beautiful and horrifying thing I've ever seen.
- Mainly horrifying.
- I want to say I liked it, but I don't know if I can
because it's all with Trump.
- If it was anything else, I would be like,
"Oh, these visuals are stunning," but it had a lot of Trump in there
and that just kind of ruined it.
- It was a video showing what the world's gonna be like if Trump succeeds.
- Yes! He destroys Earth. - World domination!
- (Finebros) So the video is called "Japanese Donald Trump Commercial."
- With a name like that, I'd expect nothing less than that video.
- (Finebros) And it was made by the American YouTuber Mike Diva.
- American YouTuber. Okay.
Good, so it's not real!
- (Finebros) Do you know Mike Diva's work? - No.
- No!
- Yes.
- From what I know, he does special effects,
he's really good at editing.
- I think that's what so awesome about creators like himself.
He can visually just spew what's on his brain onto the screen.
- I've done a video with Mike Diva before.
He's crazy.
If you gotta talk about Mike Diva, you've gotta talk about Sexy Sax Man.
Sexy Sax Man, it's just the most incredible video
that exists on the Internet.
- (Finebros) So Mike Diva is known for making
lots of great videos on YouTube.
Why do you think he decided to make this video?
- Probably because Trump's a bit of a muppet, isn't he?
- He's taking a shit on Trump's face. - (laughs)
- I'm guessing he wants to leverage all of the, you know,
the elections that are happening right now.
- Because Donald Trump is a spicy meme right now on the Internet.
- Yeah, it's a hot topic.
- Combining a relevant topic with a funny Japanese thing
is just a guaranteed viral smash, isn't it?
- Definitely.
- (Finebros) What kind of mind do you think he has to have
to even dream up the visuals that you see in this thing?
- Not a sober one.
- A genius by the name of Mike Diva, apparently.
- You have to be Mike Diva.
He's done a lot of weird stuff, hasn't he?
- I don't know. It's Mike Diva, isn't it?
I mean, he does some incredible videos.
I'm a big fan of his videos.
- (Finebros) There's over 25,000 comments on this video,
and a lot of people think it was a real Donald Trump commercial,
so they're angry about it. - What?!
- Are you serious? That's how good he is!
- That doesn't surprise me.
We need to all remind ourselves of what YouTube comments are like.
- That doesn't surprise me.
The Internet is just full of just gullible people.
- They obviously just don't know Mike then,
and his work.
That's literally what it is.
Like, some YouTubers that will make something as a parody
and it will go beyond their audience and it will go viral.
- (Finebros) Why do you think, from watching this,
that people would actually think this was a real Japanese commercial?
- 'Cause it doesn't really have a message.
It doesn't say it is sponsored by Trump, it's not sponsored by Trump,
so it leaves you with a big question mark.
- Japanese commercials are just kind of crazy to begin with
and this is believable.
- Having been to Japan, the awesome, strange commercials out there,
and game shows, so maybe combining those aesthetics
could create something like that.
- The production quality, I'm not quite sure.
I mean, it obviously seems like a parody,
but Donald Trump was on the head of, what, a giraffe?
Like, there's no way he'd approve of that!
- (Finebros) Mike has said that the comments seem to be split
with 50% thinking he is anti-Trump and 50% thinking he's pro-Trump.
What do you think?
- What does it matter? That video looked great.
That's all that [bleep] matters.
- I'm gonna go with anti.
- It seems very anti.
I saw a swastika in there.
- I would imagine that he's anti-Trump.
The fact that he's got several fascist regimes in there.
- The end, Trump destroys the world.
So clearly he can't be pro, can he?
- I think it's pretty anti-- who would think--?
He shot the Earth and destroyed it.
- I think he's just making a funny video from it.
I don't think there's really-- I don't think he's picking sides of anyone.
- It didn't really say whether it was supporting him or not.
I kind of like that he just did it from a, "I'm just gonna make this stupid thing
without thinking about it so much."
And it's like, should he have had an opinion?
- Yeah. - I don't know.
But it was just a beautiful, contextless piece of art.
- (Finebros) So not being from the US, what is your perception of Trump?
- Um, I try and keep away from the political side of things.
- At first, it was like, "Oh, this is just a joke."
And then it's gotten to the point where's like
this cannot be real.
- It was really funny when it started. Like, "(dismissive laugh) Donald!"
- That's not gonna happen! - "Oh my god, this guy's so funny."
And now it's like, "Oh shit."
- Everyone seems quite scared and concerned about what the future holds.
- But then, you know, the UK, let's not talk about it.
Everything's fine. - Yeah.
- You know, it's just good.
- If we can leave Europe, then there's definitely a strong chance
that he could become president, so that's quite scary.
- We're going through a similar thing in the UK right now.
Nobody thought that we would leave the EU because it was so absurd.
"Oh, no one's gonna actually vote for it."
But it happened.
So I think it's entirely possible that Trump could be president.
I really do.
- (Finebros) Do you ever dive into politics with any of your content
or do you stay away from politics?
- Um, I poke fun in politics but I poke fun in all directions.
I don't single out a one crowd, or I don't favor another.
- I stay neutral, man. You've gotta stay out of that.
- I don't really know how I'd shoehorn politics
into my favorite mascara or lipstick!
- Not really. I think I stick to food and fitness
and as a result, yeah, I don't really talk about it.
- I always stayed away from political things
because people, even if it's a comedy sketch,
people will go crazy.
- I don't wanna offend someone that has a different opinion to me
'cause it's not my deal.
In a way, it's kind of arrogant to assume
that just because I have an audience, I have an authority
or a right to tell people, or try and influence people,
in what to do.
- Even with the Obama interview, I almost didn't want to do it
because it was-- obviously, a major portion of me wanted to,
but it was like: I have subscribers that don't necessarily like Obama,
so I usually don't touch politics.
I try to keep it to where it's a 50-50 split.
Like, you don't know if I'm in favor.
If I'm just interviewing you, am I silently endorsing you...
or am I not?
- In the sense of we need to be more active in our government,
and active in the decisions that are being made,
especially with what's going on in the world, heck yes,
that's what I'm trying to promote.
People can make a difference and I don't think they realize
how much their voices can be heard if they were all to be unified.
- (Finebros) And, finally, would you say there's ever been
a politician to go as viral as Donald Trump?
- Never. No, never.
- Bush maybe came close, you know, with all the pundits
talking about the way that Bush-- the way that they talked about Bush.
- Everyone loved Obama. That was different kind of viral.
- Yeah, 2008 Obama went super viral, didn't he?
Loads of people, Obama was in so many memes,
like him flying around with a skateboard.
He was just such a cool dude.
- When he caught that fly.
- Boris Johnson is actually hilarious.
He is one of the funniest people in British politics,
but you might not necessarily want him to be the next Prime Minister.
- No, and that's sad.
It goes to show it's like a viral sensation is gonna
possibly be a president. That's frightening!
- I think this is the most-- because when he first came out,
he was like, "I'm gonna run for president."
Everyone was like, "(snorts) Yeah. All right. This is funny.
(sarcastically) Trump 2016, right?"
And now it's like, "Oh, god. No, no, no. Trump 2016. No."
- Thank you so much for watching this episode of YouTubers React.
- Listen guys, I don't know if that whole Trump
exploding the world thing is gonna happen or not,
but you should probably subscribe before it does.
- See ya later, guys. Remember: stay hungry, my friends.
