(immature giggle) - No?

Save the pineapple!
What?! - (Wheelchair Guy groans)
- (Jack) [Bleep], the pineapple! - Oh, my good grapes!
- (Jack) Here we go. Argh...
NOOOO, MY NADS! - (groans)
- (Jack groans) - His voice is like a cartoon character.
- (Jack) Stop it!
I can't bounce around-- - He kind of reminds me
of PewDiePie or something.
- (Jack) Can I flip out over this?
Hwah! (blood splatters)
- What?
- (Jack) Don't do it! Don't do it! Don't do it!
YES! - I really love his accent.
It just makes me so happy. - (Jack whimpers)
Nope! Nope!
- 'Ey! - (Jack) YEAH!!!
Finally!
(Jack grumbles)
- This guy's commentary definitely makes it way better.
- (Jack, shrilly) It's alive!!!
It's telling me to try again, but you're still alive.
You're still alive. You can do this. You can do this.
- He can't-- oh my gosh.
- ♪ (victory music) ♪
- (Jack) YEAH!!! - Wow, that was intense.
Who is this guy?
I need to subscribe to him immediately.
- Just wondering who watches this gentleman. (laughs)
- (Jack) Top of the morning to ya, laddies!
- "Top of the morning to you." I love that.
- (Jack) ...a game called Muddy Heights.
Now, I know what you're thinkin':
"Jack, this is just another one of those stupid games."
And, yes, you'd be right.
Sometimes the stupid games are the best games!
- They are the best games.
- (Jack) The objective of the game
is to [bleep] on people... - What?!
- (Jack) ...from the rooftop. - (laughs)
- (Jack) Let's go, poop! (in game: fart)
(groans in disgust)
- (Jack) Oh crap! - Oh my god. That's disgusting.
- (Jack) Die everybody! The turd wizard.
(passerby screams) (chuckles)
(cracking up) - (Jack, laughing) Run from the poop!
- See a bus? BAAAAH!!!
- That's disgusting.
- (Jack) I don't think I did it. - This is actually a real game?
- (Jack) Oh my god! (laughs)
- He reminds me of my son. My son's 14.
- (Jack) Woo! (passerby screams)
- (Jack) Good lord, my poo bounces everywhere now!
- Oh my god. It's brown everywhere.
- That is some powerful [bleep], literally. (laughs)
- (Jack) We just killed everybody.
Holy crap! Literally. - (laughs)
- (Jack) Thank you guys so much for watching this video.
If you liked it, punch the Like button in the face
like a boss! - "Like a boss!"
- (Jack) Well-- (imitates whip)
- His voice, or his vocal chords, must be really exhausted
after filming these. - (Jack shrieks)
- That is... ughhh. These are games?
Are you kidding me?
- I don't know what he's on, but I want to buy it. (laughs)
- (Jack, calmly) And now... Twitter comments with Jacksepticeye.
(giggles)
- "Are you a boy or a girl?" Um...
- Checking, checking.
- Not sure?
- (Jack) I think I'm a boy.
"Would you trade jobs from YouTube to something else?"
Nope! Not now, not ever.
I'm my own boss, I get to meet all you-- - He's handsome.
- (Jack) I can't think of a job better than this,
and I get to play video games-- - That's pretty great.
- Winning, winning.
- "You're a cool dude. So much boss energy.
Can I get a 'like a boss'?"
Okay, but you're all gonna have to join in with me. Okay?
Three, two, one:
LIKE A BOSS!!! - Like a boss!
- (Jack) Three, two, one:
LIKE A BOSS!!! - Like a boss!
- (Jack) Three, two, one:
LIKE A BOSS!!!
(silence)
Did-- did you-- did you do it?
"Thank you for dedicating your life to us.
It is incredibly touching
that you give so much of yourself to make us happy."
You don't need to thank me for that.
You guys give me just as much as I give you.
- I actually like that, when YouTubers, you know,
actually reach out to people.
- (Jack) You guys really help me out everyday.
I-- I'd be so lonely and lost without all of you,
so thank you-- - That's what's so cool about YouTube.
While you help other people, you also help the person creating.
- (Jack) Thank you guys so much for watching this video.
If you liked it, punch that Like button in the face!
Like a boss!!! - He has so much energy, dude.
(Jack imitate whip) - Wow.
- (Jack) Well, thank you guys and I will-- - He needs to be on stage.
- (Jack, shrilly) ...in the next video!!! - Oh, he's so cool!
- I'm pretty sure this guy's related to me.
I mean, this was like--
every time my family comes from Ireland,
they're just like this. (laughs)
♪ (Industrial music) ♪
- (Finebros) Okay, so what did you think of this YouTube creator
who calls himself "Jacksepticeye"?
- He's, um... special.
- I didn't get what he was saying.
I didn't get what's the purpose of it.
- He's funny.
- He's doing what he does and he's doing it well.
I think that he should-- he's a performer.
- Oh my god. He's amazing. Like a boss!
- (Finebros) So he is part of maybe the most popular genre
of content on YouTube, which is video game commentary.
- Oh, wow.
- I don't watch them often, but my little brother does. He's 17.
- My son is a big gamer. He does Minecraft.
And I know he does follow a lot of YouTubers.
- Personally, I like it a lot.
'Cause there's a lot of times where I see a game I want to play,
but I'm just like, "Ehh... do I really want to shell out
60 bucks for it?"
So then you can just watch people play it
and you see their reactions.
- (Finebros) So he's one of the fastest rising channels
right now on YouTube. - Wow.
- (incredulously) Whaaat?
- (Finebros) As of this episode,
he has nearly eight million subscribers. - Are you serious?
- What the [bleep]?
- What did I do wrong in my life?
Like, I could've been filming myself, playing these video games.
But instead, I went to school, I got good grades,
and... eff me, right?
So props to that guy.
- (Finebros) And he posts two videos every single day,
and those videos are anywhere from 13 minutes
to well over 20 minutes. - Holey moley, that's a lot.
- If he enjoys what he's doing, I mean, all the power to him.
That's a lot of work.
- Like, does he eat? Does he sleep?
He must be running on 5-hour Energies
or Adderalls or something.
- You know, there's some of my favorite YouTubers
that put out a video once a week.
Getting new stuff every day is just awesome, man.
- Personally, me, I won't be watching him,
but... (laughing) whoever else chooses to watch him, that's fine.
- (Finebros) So not just game channels,
but also some vlog channels and some of the big Vine stars,
seem to have these energetic, big, loud, in-your-face personalities,
and it's finding success.
Why does that personality resonate with so many people?
- I think maybe just 'cause it's funny.
- Sometimes I wonder if they think they have to be loud
to have people listen.
- It gets people's attention. It's outside of the norm.
I think more people should be like this,
and then the world would probably be a better place.
- Most people aren't that upbeat about their everyday life,
so whenever you watch somebody doing that,
you almost get the same emotions vicariously through them.
- (Finebros) For years now, gaming content like Jack's and others
have become more popular, yet people don't consider it
to be real entertainment.
Do you think one day it will shed that stigma?
- I think it will be embraced.
- As my generation starts getting older,
that stigma's gonna be gone forever.
- These younger generations who were just the first people
playing video games-- like me-- now let's see when I'm
30, 40 years old and my kid's watching a guy
play a game-- to me, it's gonna be like, "Yeah, totally.
I was doing the same thing."
- It was like DotA or something.
It's on ESPN now.
So now ESPN, like a sports thing,
is starting to do video games.
So I think it's moving its way up.
- I think it's gonna be more accepted.
Things are changing and it's changing to the worst,
in my opinion.
Then this is something that we have to look into
and we have to work around, rather than say,
"Okay, we're gonna stop it," because it's not gonna stop.
- (Finebros) So back to Jacksepticeye,
his videos reach a wide demographic, from adults and teens,
but also with younger kids.
What are your thoughts about that?
- I just feel like it's universal.
- I think it's a testament to Mr. Septiceye
that he spans, you know, these different generations.
- Kids like him 'cause he is that, like--
I don't want to call him a cartoon personality,
but that loud personality.
And then teens like him 'cause he's funny.
The adults that like him, maybe they're gamers.
He hits their funny bone.
They just hit the comedy that they like.
- (Finebros) Jack also makes a huge effort to connect with his fans
through social media and his videos,
which is something new in the entertainment industry.
Do you think that's an important thing,
to connect with fans in this way? - I think it's important
because he values you.
He's telling you that he cares.
- It's cool to have that dynamic of knowing somebody
on YouTube when you haven't even met them.
- It's becoming more interactive, right?
Versus TV, it's just somebody throwing stuff at them
and they can't say anything.
- It goes deeper than, "I'm not just a viewer.
Now I feel like I'm part of the actual creation
of what I'm watching, as well as I'm connecting
with the people in the screen at a deeper level."
- I sent a message to another YouTuber.
He actually responded and I was like, "(surprised) Oh!"
It actually kind of made my day that he responded, you know,
and it made me want to watch him more.
- (Finebros) So last question:
Jacksepticeye will likely watch this episode of the show,
so we are asking everyone to give your best
Jacksepticeye impression for him. - Oh my god! (giggles)
(in Irish accent) Top of the morning to ya, laddies.
My name is Jacksepticeye.
- (Irish accent) If you liked that video,
give the Like a punch in the face, and like a boss!
- LIKE A BOSS!!!
- (wildly) Like a boss!!!
- High fives all around! (imitates whip)
(laughs)
- High fives all around! (imitates whip)
I think that was pretty much the best one
you've seen all day, right?
- And we'll see all you dudes in the next videoooo!
- (Irish accent) Thanks for watching another episode
of Adults React.
- If you guys wanna know when we have a new video,
all you gotta do is punch that subscribe button!
- Bye!
- Goodbye... like a boss!
