- Yes! That [censored] Carole Baskin!
- This feels like it happened yesterday
but also five years ago.
♪ (upbeat techno intro) ♪
- (Fonda) And the Oscar goes to... - Oh, the Oscars.
Oh, I forgot about the Oscars. - I forgot we had Oscars this year.
- (Fonda) Parasite. - (crowd cheers)
- (claps) Nice! This was this year, wasn't it?!
- That was so well deserved. - (voice-over) Parasite has
six Academy Award nominations... - Wow!
- This feels like it happened yesterday
but also five years ago.
- (crowd) Up! Up! Up! Up! Up! Up!
- Yup! I love that. They're like, uh-uh,
don't you dare turn the lights off on them. They are not done.
- I can't believe that happened this year.
I thought Parasite happened last year. - If time didn't feel real
to me before, it absolutely feels just nonexistent.
If you asked me what month the Oscars would've happened
in 2020, I would say 2019. - (reporter) On Wednesday,
the duke and duchess of Sussex shocked the world...
- Oh, yeah! - (reporter) ...by announcing
their plans to step back as senior members...
- Brexit 2.0. - (reporter) ...by announcing
their plans to step back
as senior members of the royal family. - Yeah. That was crazy.
- I barely remember this. I feel like I always saw it,
and I was like, "Eh." - (reporter) Many members
of the royal family were disappointed with Meghan and Harry.
- She looks disappointed all the time. - Nobody's ever done that.
Nobody's just decided, "You know what?
I'm not down with the whole king and queen thing.
I'm done with the castle. I'ma go work at Olive Garden."
- This tracks more as 2020 to me. - I heard about it happening,
but I didn't really dive into it. But that happened this year?!
God, 2020. - (man) I have met the person
I wanna spend the rest of my life... - Oh, [censored]. This was this year.
- (man) ...I wanna spend the rest of my life with.
- Good for you. - (man) I have never seen her before.
- Bad for you. - (host) You will choose
someone to marry. - (woman) Hello.
- (man) Nice to hear from you. Can't say see ya.
- What is this? - (woman) I am engaged to somebody
I've never seen before. - Oh, lord.
- (woman) I cannot do this! - I...
I never watched that show for a reason.
- Looks like that type of [censored] that you would watch
when you're inside the house and you've gone through
literally everything else that's on Netflix.
"Fine, I guess. Why not? I'm already done watching Tiger King."
- (reporter) Now to Australia, where they're facing
those massive fires, already among the worst
in that country's history. - Those wildfires were crazy.
- (reporter 2) The massive bush fire is now visible from space,
engulfing the size of more than 50 New York Cities.
- That's crazy! You can see it from space?!
- 50 New York Cities. That was absolutely insane.
That one, I did remember, though. I did not forget that from 2020.
- Oh, World War III. - Not the World War III memes!
- "Me pretending to be injured on the battlefield to get out
of fighting in World World III." - (Peter) Ah!
(sucks in breath) - (chuckles) That's so good.
- "I'm laughing at these World War III memes,
but I'm high-key scared." Me! I was like, "Okay,
but is it actually gonna happen, though?
Should we be laughing about this?" That's something
that I vividly remember, 'cause that was just
the entire internet for like a week. - This is nostalgic, bro!
This is bad that this all happened in the past few months
and I feel like I'm reliving history. - That was the earliest of all these.
Yeah, that was the second week of January. (chuckles)
It really just set the tone for all of us.
- (reporter) Breaking news. Very sad news
to tell the sports world. - Oh!
- (reporter) ...that retired Los Angeles Lakers basketball star
Kobe Bryant... - (groans)
- (reporter) Kobe Bryant has been killed in a helicopter crash.
It happened this morning. - Yo.
- (reporter) The chopper reportedly went down
just before 10 AM local time. - Wow. That's terrible.
- (reporter) ...the fire department out there.
- (sighs) - I just got goosebumps.
- You know something is serious when the number one thing
that everybody does when they hear something like this is say
that it has to be a joke, because there's no way
that it could actually be true. - I remember too after that happening,
all these memes being like, "Wow, 2020. Worst year ever.
World War III, Kobe Bryant," and I think were rumblings
of the coronavirus at that point. It's like, oh, girl.
You don't know yet. (chuckles) - (reporter) Jennifer Lopez
and Shakira brought the house down
during the Super Bowl LIV halftime show.
- So good! - (Lopez's tongue trilling)
- (chuckles) What possessed her to do that?!
- When she did that, I felt like she was doing it at me.
I sat back on the couch, like, "Ah! What-- what do you want?"
- (reporter) This was arguably the best Super Bowl
halftime performance ever. - Okay, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold on. We're gonna have to stop her
right there, because Beyonce and Bruno really killed that shiznit, okay?!
- You know that there were some uncomfortable families
(laughs) for sure watching that one. - Because so many things
were canceled this year or virtual, like Olympics were canceled
and the Emmys were virtual, it feels like things
like the Oscars and the Super Bowl,
they don't compute with happening this year.
- (reporter) Elon Musk and Grimes, of course,
welcoming their first child together this week. And soon after...
- I love Grimes, but I want so much better for her.
- (reporter) They revealed the baby's name.
- Which is? - (reporter) X AE A-12.
- No, this is peak 2020. - (Musk) I mean, it's just X,
the letter X, and then the AE is pronounced "ash."
- I thought Twitter was just [censored] with me
when I read this. - (Musk) A-12 is my contribution.
- "A-12 is my contribution." (chuckles) God, what a loser.
- You know... you know, Sierra, I just--
I have no words for this one. - That's the stuff you hear
when somebody's got nine or ten kids.
You just say, "You know what? AX E-6, welcome to the world."
- Remember when people were giving Kanye a lot of flack,
because he named one of his kids North,
so his their name was North West?
Yeah, at least it didn't have numbers in it!
- (reporter) Quibi calls it quits. The streaming service built...
- Quibi. Aww, buddy. - I know this was recently.
I know that. - (reporter) ...Hollywood's
biggest names. Investors lost an estimated
$1.4 billion. - Holy crap!
I didn't know Quibi failed! - It must have came and went so quick
that I didn't even get to know that item, that product.
- Funny thing is, I wanted to get into Quibi.
It was one of those things where I was like,
"I'll watch it at some point." Nope!
- What is it about Quibi that just brought out
the schadenfreude of the world, where I was just like,
"Burn, baby. Burn!" (chuckles) Why? I don't get it.
Everyone hated it! (chuckles)
- (Dial) It's not every day that a zookeeper...
- Yes! That [censored] Carole Baskin!
- This was wild. - Another show I did not indulge in.
- I never watched this either. I still need to.
I keep putting it off. - Whoa! Is that a movie?
- (FBE) It's a show on Netflix. - Oh, I've-- that's a shame
I've never watched it, but I want to!
- I heard about Tiger King for a while before I watched it.
And so, during quarantine, there was a night,
where I just wasn't tired, and I was like, all right,
you know what? Let me start this,
see what it's like.
I was up until six in the morning, because I couldn't stop.
- I remember seeing everything-- like with Amazon delivery guys
like, "Put it on this side if you think she killed him.
Put it on this side if you don't." That seems like it was so long ago!
That one's the one that's tripping me out the most.
- (FBE) So finally, a lot happened this year,
but to end the episode on a positive note,
what was one genuinely good thing that happened to you this year?
- (snickers)
I got my own apartment. I moved out of my parents',
which has been so nice. I'm pretty sure that's
the only good thing that's happened, but it's still something.
- I went to Florida to see my sister. I love my sister.
And she had had surgery, and she's fully recovering.
And that's such a blessing. You know what I mean?
Because there's so much going on. - I really realized in this
drastic life change that happened this year
how much it was that I cared for the people that were around me
that I assumed would just always be around.
It definitely gave me a newfound appreciation
for the people that I love.
- Thanks for watching this episode of Adults React.
- Don't forget to subscribe! - 2020, bye!
- Hey, guys. It's Sierra, React producer. We did it.
We have made it through 2020 just about.
But I wanna know, what is one good thing
that actually happened to you this year?
Let's spread some positivity down in the comments.
All right. Thanks, guys! Bye!
