to be the first hurricane...
- (man) It's a storm. - Oh, why?
- (chuckling) Oh god. Here we go.
- Oh, this is Sharknado.
- Is this Sharknado?
(phone rings) - (woman) It's barely even raining.
- (man) It's flooding here-- and not the plumbing, the ocean.
You need to go home. - The ocean is flooding.
- Is this an actual thing?
- I haven't seen this, but I've been wanting to.
- Really?
(person screaming) - (man) Just can't sit back
and watch this. - That was a screaming goat sound effect.
- That's the first thing I would do,
is go to Home Depot and get my ax. (woman shrieks)
- (woman) Tornado's heading towards the airport.
We need to destroy it before it gets to us.
- Why do you have to destroy it before it hits the airport?
- (woman) Watch out! - (laughs uproariously)
- (laughs)
- (woman) Fin! - Yeah, Tara!
- Whoa.
(chainsaw buzzing) - Yes! He just cut it in half.
- (grunting fiercely) What a badass!!! - (woman) Too many of 'em.
We're gonna need a bigger chopper.
Aah! (explosion)

- Why was he diving into the shark's mouth,
is what I want to know.
- Blaze of glory. - Ah.

Rated N for Neverrrrr!

Or are they a tor-- - Do you really have to know the details?
♪ (dramatic chord) ♪
- (Finebros) So what was that the trailer for?
- That was the trailer for Sharknado.
- That was Sharknado.
- (dramatically) Sharknado!
- A movie called "Sharknado."
It's one of those B movies, I guess. - I feel like I need to just
high-five someone right now. - Yeah, I know. It's just--
- (Finebros) Why do you know about this?
- Just 'cause it went insane of the internet.
- On Twitter, I saw a hashtag. It said "Sharknado."
- I know about it 'cause it's the last thing
Cory Monteith tweeted about.
That's a weird thing for me to think of.
- I just interviewed Tara Reid on my podcast.
And she was very excited about it, and so was I.
- I was visiting a summer camp that I used to work at.
And all the counselors, after the kids went to bed, were like,
(whispering) "Hey man, come out to the cabin.
We're watching Sharknado tonight."
- (Finebros) Does it seem like a good movie?
- Depends how you define "good movie."
I mean, obviously, it's not gonna be The Shawshank Redemption.
- Yes. - What?!
- It's one of those "it's so bad it's good."
- No!
- Maybe like a movie that you get a bunch of friends
and you're like, "Let's make fun of that."
- This isn't a real movie, is it?
- (Finebros) It is. - (incredulously) It is a real movie?
- (Finebros) Yeah. - No.
- (Finebros, chuckling) Yes.
- But those were, like, actual actors in that.
Why would they do that?
- (Finebros) Why do you think it trended on Twitter
and everyone was talking about this so much on social media?
- I don't know. There are just some things that are so bad
that they're amusing and easy to get behind
and have fun and make fun of at the same time.
- I think everyone that watched it as well
had a communal experience on Twitter when it was on,
'cause I was even reading what people were saying about it.
- 'Cause it's the best portmanteau ever.
Just people can't resist typing the word, speaking the word,
remembering the word, "Sharknado."
- The term "Sharknado" just sounds funny. And everybody's like,
"Oh god, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Let's just make it a hashtag."
- (straightforward) People love horrible things.
Like, American Idol, the first three episodes get the most views
because we love the horrible auditions.
We love the horrible Sharknado movie.
- (Finebros) Do you think the filmmakers
thought they were making a horror thriller,
or they knew what they were doing here?
- Now, see, it's a tough question, because if I say,
"Obviously this was made to be made fun of,"
and those guys are sitting here watching this video like...
(sadly) "I really worked hard on that script."
- You know what? I'm gonna go with no. I'm gonna go with no.
They didn't know what they were doing.
I think lots of people are afraid of sharks and tornadoes.
(intense voice) "What if we combine them together
to create this ultimate phobia?"
- Oh, they knew exactly what-- - They knew what they were doing.
- You can't call something "Sharknado"
without it being deliberately campy, you know what I mean?
- I think this is the climax of some ridiculous films.
Like, I've seen Sharktopus, Mega Shark.
And they just needed a new shark movie
that's gonna beat all of them.
And I think a tornado full of sharks-- you can't beat that.
That's a level that can't be beaten now.
- (Finebros) And if you heard a news report
saying that a real Sharknado was heading your way,
what would you do?
- God, it's so bad that the first thing I thought of was film it.
- I'd go to Walmart with my friends.
We'd probably be laughing the whole time.
"Look, I got the chainsaw, guys."
"All right, I got the shawty. Let's go."
- If I was at the weather report
and heard sharks were being flung into land,
I would just go inside. I mean...
- Go indoors? - Go indoors.
- A shark could land on your house. You're not safe.
- Not go outside. Never go outside.
- Obviously I would get a chainsaw.
- (laughs) - That seems to work.
- The opposite of everyone in that trailer,
which is apparently "go outside with chainsaws."
- (Finebros) I now have a selection of clips from Sharknado
to show you. - I'm good.
- Oh my goodness. No. It's gonna ruin the story.
- Yes! Let's do this.
- Shark!
(people screaming)
- That was really bad CG, guys. Like, they used that?

- A single shotgun stopped a hurling shark.
(man screams)
- (man) Watch out!
- (emotionless) Oh no, it's people getting eaten by sharks.
- There's, like, no shading on that shark.
- (man) Looks like it's that time of the month.
- (snickers quietly)
(roof crumbles, people scream)
- Did it just bite through a ceiling?
- (sarcastically) What amazing violence.
- Can't we postpone this episode? I gotta watch this right now.
- (man) Instead of letting live sharks rain down on people,
we're gonna get in that chopper
and throw bombs into the tornadoes.
- (woman) They took my grandfather. - (chuckles)
- (woman) That's why I really hate sharks. - (laughs) No.
- (amused) That was really badly acted.
(gunshots) - Strongest handgun ever.
(sharks swooshing) (crunch)
(man screaming)
- Oh my god, it's still going.
Oh my... - A hammerhead!
(slam!) - Wow! (laughing) Come on!
- Why is that happening?
(woman screams) (echoing chomp)
(chainsaw buzzing) - Amazing.
- Woooow!
- And he's gonna come out, right?
No. Yep, there it is.
- (joyous voice) He's alive! He's alive!
- No.
- Don't kiss him! No! That's infected with something.
- So that's how I get Tara Reid to kiss me:
cover my face in blood.
- Thank you! Bye! You're my best friends.
- (Finebros) With all the success that Sharknado has had,
what does that say about the power of social media?
- Well, I mean, it's good.
I mean, this all happened via Twitter and Reddit
and stuff like that, you know what I mean? It's inspiring.
- Social media can get people to watch things.
- You can have zero advertising and just create a buzz.
- I think social media can make things really popular.
And the sad part is, it's usually bad things.
- People with social media like stupid things.
And it's kind of sad that something so stupid
can get so much attention.
- The Internet, I think, is the multiplier.
Like, something can exist and, had Twitter not been there,
had Facebook not been there, it would've just been like
this kinda [bleep] thing that you talked about for a day,
and then it would've just disappeared.
- The word of mouth is always the best publicity.
So I guess Twitter being the digital version of word of mouth,
I guess, explains that. - Yeah, I think every advertiser
would tell you, people telling other people
that your product is good is the best way
to prove that your product is good.
- (Finebros) Do you think this type of hype and excitement
for Sharknado could happen if it was like a YouTube movie
versus a TV movie? - Easily. Easily.
- If it's as bad as it's portraying itself to be,
I think it could work on YouTube.
- It would probably blow up faster, if anything.
You could click a link and go straight to it,
or could see a GIF and then click straight to it.
I think it would just make it so it could blow up faster.
- The thing about the made-for-TV movie is,
I feel like, that does drive Twitter to a degree
that it's only on TV for two hours.
- YouTube's not really a live thing,
so I think everyone's live-tweeting Sharknado.
- When it's on YouTube, you see weird things all the time
and you accept that more.
And I think it would've been harder to go from there to there
versus that to going to YouTube.
- I think people are so used to TV being so real
and YouTube being kind of like the joke.
So seeing something that should probably be on YouTube on TV,
I think, just made people go crazy.
- They treat traditional things in a different way,
you know what I mean?
I think if it wasn't being seen as a traditional TV movie,
like a proper feature film,
then it wouldn't have had the same appeal
as if it was a "web thing."
I still think that people see "web things" as more "amateur."
Sad face.
- (Finebros) They've announced they're making
a sequel to Sharknado. They're calling it "The Second One."
What would you have called it?
- "Zebra...splosion."
That's the twist. There's also zebras.
Or "zee-bras," as you guys say.
- "Sharknado 2: 2 Shark 2 Curious"?
- "Sharknado 2: The Sharkpocalypse."
- "Sharknado 2: Octo-quake."
- "Sharknado 2: A Tornado Full of Sharks."
- The logistics of how to clean up the city
after sharks are everywhere.
"Sharknado 2: The Cleanup." Yeah.
(Finebros snickering) Logically.
That's a terrible name for a film.
