- (man) Don't walk in the bales.
- (woman) We're gonna let Kermit go so he can find his mommy.
- Oh, it's a little bunny!
- A little guy. - (woman) This is the little baby
we've been feeding for a week. - I want him.
- (woman) I don't want to let him go, but everybody else does.
So...
- Top bun. Hi, missglamorazzi. - (woman) There's your mommy.
- I hope this doesn't go the way I think it's gonna go.
- I'm nervous. What's about to happen? (chuckling)
- (excitedly) Oh, look at it go! Oh!
(snickering) - (girl) Where's the mommy?
- (gasps loudly) No!!
(woman gasps, bunny squeaking)
- (hysterically) Oh my god! No!!
Oh my god, no.
- Something bad-- (startled yelp)
(bunny squeaking)
No-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho.
- No! Dang it!
- Death. Of course death.
(woman gasps, bunny squeaking) - Oh no.
(woman gasps, bunny squeaking) - (laughing silently)
(in stitches) Oh, the squealing.
- (gasps hysterically)
Oh my god! I hate you!
- Freaking knew that was gonna happen.
- (aggressively) Yes! Yes, America!
- Your baby daughter learned a lesson.
- That's [bleep] up!
- Oh, my tender little heart. No.
- (emotionally) It's so bad!
- (Finebros) I just realized something. Look at your shirt.
(laughter)
- How serendipitous.
♪ (dramatic chord) ♪
- (Finebros) So what happened?
- Well, there was an adorable little rabbit.
And a nice lady was letting it go free.
- The bunny's scurrying, scurrying, scurrying.
And I'm like, "Okay, something's gotta happen."
- I totally had that sinking feeling in my stomach.
You know, just that, "No, no, please don't happen.
Please-- ah, it happened."
- I'm gonna start crying while retelling this story.
He was running and hopping,
and then a hawk or something flew down and ate him
in front of the kid and in front of me. It was traumatizing.
- The bunny didn't have any freedom.
It literally was just released.
Jesus! God! (chuckling) It's such a dramatic sad story.
- (Finebros) How did you feel when the bird swooped in?
- I can't say this word on camera, but it rhymes with "mum."
- Happy that I'm a person.
We're so lucky that we get to live in this secure environment
with health and safety.
- I felt mad at you when it happened
(cracking up) for showing me that.
- I thought it was just gonna be a really cute video,
and then it got really sad.
- I felt complete.
Like, the circle of life-- that's how it's supposed to be.
- (Finebros) So what is the bird gonna do with the rabbit?
- We know what the bird's gonna do with that rabbit:
eat the [bleep] out of it.
- ♪ Give it to its babies ♪
- It's gonna eat it!
The rabbit is dead.
- Rip out its insides and just-- (ravenous babbling)
- In Disney, I think the bird would have
brought the rabbit back to the mom
and there would have been a happy ending.
But I think National Geographic
would portray that the rabbit would be torn up to pieces.
- This is the craziest part. So imagine you're the rabbit.
One second ago, something was petting you.
And now you're 50 feet in the air.
And it's like-- (imitating screeching and gobbling)
And your guts are being eaten in front of you.
And you're, like, a four-month-old rabbit.
You have no clue what's going on. It just hurts.
But hopefully in your next life,
you'll be a butterfly and you won't [caw!] up.
- (Finebros) What do you think they said to their daughter
once the camera turned off? - (laughs loudly)
Uh, they probably were all like,
"Girl... she gone."
- Well, I'm traumatized.
What are you gonna tell me to make me feel better about this?
- "Honey, that's nature. That is the real world."
- I would've laughed and I would've said,
"That's the world, kid!"
- Keep the kid from being traumatized.
Maybe get her an ice cream cone
or something to make her feel better.
- At that age, lie to the daughter and say,
"Oh no, it's fine, it's fine. The bunny's fine."
- "Bird is gonna take it to its mummy.
The mummy rabbit.
And then the bird's gonna come and pick up another baby bunny
who has no mummy and bring it to another mummy rabbit.
That's how we all are born."
- I would go right to the library
and get one of those big white books.
You know, those awesome white books that have all the pictures?
And just get the bird one.
And be like, "See how cute these birds are?"
They need to obliterate things like that bunny to live.
You want the birds to die?
No, you don't. So the bunnies must die.
(clang!) - (Finebros) Harsh!
(clang!) But truth!
Do you think it is okay that they posted this on YouTube,
even though it resulted in the death of this animal?
- I would've done the same thing, ha-ha!
I'd be like, "Get me those views!"
- Yeah! Yeah! You don't not post this on YouTube.
- There's been way worse stuff put on YouTube
and the internet in general.
I mean, this is something that's even tame
compared to National Geographic standard.
- I guess it is a murder of a bunny,
even though-- do they have rights?
- I personally wouldn't do it just because it's really sad.
I feel like some people probably think it's funny.
And I don't think it's funny.
- To me, it's very educational.
Any person who has a guinea pig or a pet bunny--
they're gonna see that and think,
"Yeah, maybe it's not a good idea to let my little
fluffy animal run around outside in a large open space."
- To be honest, I don't think it's real.
So I think it's some of a weird marketing ploy for maybe Petco.
"Bunny leashes on sale now! You probably need one."
- (Finebros) So about 15 million people
have watched this video so far.
- (outraged) I work so hard on videos
and this gets 15 million views? Oh man. This is devastating.
If I have to do it for the views, YouTube,
I'll kill a bunny for you.
- (Finebros) What is it about this that makes it go viral?
- Because it's the biggest plot twist of all time:
circle of life but [bleep] goes down.
- 'Cause people are [bleep] up. I'm [bleep] up. Everybody is.
We all want to watch somebody die.
We all want to see something worse than our life.
- I think it's the shock value. People like to be shocked.
So they probably pass it on to their friends.
- You send that to someone to troll them.
"Wait till the end. It's really cute." Share.
Every high school boy that knows a girl that has a pet bunny
is like, "Look at this really cute bunny video." Share.
- (Finebros) Do you think it's real or fake?
- I think it's fake.
It's too good to be true.
- I would have to slow it down frame by frame
to see the movement.
- It looked pretty real to me.
- Real. Don't tell me it's fake.
- I want it to be real. (laughs)
I don't want it to be dead, but it makes it better.
- I think it's totally real.
Being someone that's worked with After Effects
and 3-D software before,
I think I can tell-- most of the time, anyways--
when something is faked or whether it's real.
And the movements of the animals-- it looked too realistic.
- I'm not ever sure in this room.
When I'm sitting here and you guys are there
laughing behind the camera, I'm not sure about anything anymore.
- (Finebros) So the comments on this video are disabled
because people were being so negative. - Why? Who?
Animal people. Lord have mercy.
Everybody on the internet is just the worst.
- (Finebros) There's 50,000 likes on it, 40,000 dislikes.
- Mm, that's not a good ratio.
- (Finebros) Why are people reacting so negatively to this video?
- I don't think it's a dislike on the family.
Why would you thumbs-up a video of something dying?
- That bugs me. What's wrong with the video? It's a normal video.
- It wasn't their fault either that this happened.
It's not like they told the eagle to go and get the bunny.
You can't do that.
- I mean, they dislike it because it's something horrible
happening to something cute.
It's like in a movie when there's the threat
of something happening to a human
or something happening to a dog.
We don't care if something happens to the human.
But kill the dog and, oh my gosh, everybody's freaking out!
- (Finebros) Finally, in memory of this bunny named Kermit,
can you say a few words of your memories of the bunny?
♪ (solemn piano music) ♪ - Kermit, I didn't know you personally.
But for the 10 seconds that I did see you,
you were very cute, and you will be deeply missed.
- Kermit, I enjoyed getting to know you.
You were loved by at least one little girl
who no longer will love another.
- Kermit, I didn't know you long. You were adorable.
And you will live on in the minds
of millions and millions of people.
- Your few seconds of being online and being famous
has inspired many, many pet owners
to not let their pets run out in an open field.
You did not die in vain.
- He was a lovable brother and son.
And may he rest in pieces in the air.
(starts laughing)
- Kermit, you were a lovely, lovely little bunny.
And I loved watching you for five seconds in that person's hands.
You looked so warm and cozy.
And I hope it was a quick and painful death.
- (Finebros) "Quick and painful"? - Oh my god!
(laughter)
Painless! (laughs uproariously)
- Thank you for watching this tragically beautiful episode
of YouTubers React.
- Like, favorite, subscribe, share,
or I'll come snatch you like a bird and rip you to pieces!
- See you later, guys! Knife!
- (crying) Goodbye.
Kermit.
- See you guys later! Aah!
