- (FBE) Today, you're gonna be doing a try not to sing along
challenge. - Oh no, shoot.
I'm so bad at these.
- This is gonna be the easiest challenge,
'cause there's a camera on me and I'm incredibly self conscious,
so bring it on.
- (FBE) As always, because this is YouTubers React,
all the songs you'll be hearing will be internet classics.
- Ooh, okay, okay. I mean, I'll be the judge of
if they're classics or not.
- (FBE) So, here are the rules. No singing, no dancing
or head moving and no lip syncing.
- Oh, this is more than try not to sing then.
Okay, so I just have to sit here like a statue.
- This is my inspiration right over here.
Cookie helps me train for this.
We train for hours every day, huh Cookie?
We just-- we watch videos
and we don't sing, we don't dance.
We just sit still like a statue.

These guys are so freaking talented they can literally
do whatever they want. This feels like this could be
on the radio.
- (FBE) So, we have more videos to show you,
but this was PewDiePie's video congratulating T-Series
on taking the title of the most subscribed channel
on YouTube. After the release of this video,
PewDiePie once again shot to the number one spot
on the subscriber list. - He knew what he was doing.
- (FBE) But as of the time we're filming this,
T-Series is back on top. - What?
- (FBE) We're filming this episode a week before
it's uploaded to YouTube. What's your prediction
for who will be on top by the time
this episode releases? - I'm gonna say PewDiePie,
'cause I feel like he's consistently been on top.
- T-Series will have just crossed unless Pewds comes up with
another amazing music video.
- I think that Pewds will be on top.
- It's good that people are rallying behind somebody
in a positive way. I just hope that once
this dies down, they continue that.
