- (man) I've been watching this for-- oh, what just happened?!
(laughter)
- I-- yep, I like this series. This is a very nice series.
- Yes, my life! - You like this?
- Okay, oh my god. You have no idea.
- I've watched hundreds of these.
- Yes. Yes. YES!
- Oh yeah. Tear it up. Go to town.
- Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it.
- You have issues. - (hissing) Yes!
- Look at that thing. It's-- oh my goodness!
- That is cool!
- Oh, that's so perfectly crushed.
- That's perfect.
That's like the perfect squashed can.
- Woo! - No, [bleep] that.
Sorry, scared of waves.
- Whoaaaa. - Yes.
- The waves are so perfect.
- Hmm, I wanna go on that. - That's fun.
- That's really cool.
- Very cool machine. I'm not satisfied.
- That is my literal worst nightmare.
- That was decently satisfying.
- That's so satisfying. - That's so satisfying.
- Oh, everyone's seen this one.
(water gurgles)
(laughing)
- That sound at the end!
- I was in until that weird gurgle at the end.
(laughing) That weird gurgle got me good.
You don't deserve to be in there, weird gurgle.
(cutting softly)
- Precise slice.
- That's a really thin slice. - (laughing)
(cutting softly)
- That's gonna fill no one up.
(sharp click) - (whispering) Oh.
- When someone asks to share your food. (laughing)
And you're like, "Sure."
- People seek so much validation in their lives.
That is all it takes to make you feel like it was worth it.
- That was a beautiful moment.
- I think it's the sound effects.
Every single one of those videos has a sound effect.
(beatboxing)
You know what I mean?
- That's actually not anything-- - Yeah.
- That didn't sound like any of that.

- (Finebros) What is it about these videos that make them oddly satisfying?
- I don't know why I liked what I liked.
But I liked it?
Does everybody like it?
- Anticipation.
You're like, "Oh my god. Is it? Is it? Is it?"
And then it does and you're just like, "Yes!"
- They were just almost perfect.
Everything about them was just great.
- When that ball goes through that tube just right,
it's like, you know, sometimes things do just go just right
and that's very satisfying.
- (Finebros) Is there some minor thing in your life
that you know is irrelevant but just gives you
a little bit of satisfaction whenever you experience it.
- Just organizing my desk in right angles.
- When you're putting your pillow in the pillowcase
and it just goes all the way to the end and it's really--
- When you shake it once and it just slots in and you're like
- ♪ Ta da ♪ - (satisfied moan)
- I love slicing through watermelon.
I'll just, like-- I've gotten it down to an art.
- (Finebros) So you being someone who's around web culture more than most,
what is the recipe for something not just to go viral
but to actually start a trend like this?
- I don't know.
I guess just one person with a lot of time on their hands
has to scour the internet-- and suddenly, boom!
- I don't think you can really plan those things.
It's almost things that happen accidentally.
- A visceral feeling mixed with a surprise element
in a way that has a positive outcome is usually a pretty viral phenomenon.
- It needs to be something that can't divide anybody.
No one can disagree that at least some of those images
were perfectly great to look at.
- It is like a compulsion where you're like,
"I got that rush.
Just like on my smartphone,
when I played that game I got that rush,
and now I wanna go have it again.
I'm gonna keep searching for it until I relive that experience."
- (Finebros) So last thing we're gonna do is we are going to give you something
that gives us a little bit of satisfaction to see if you agree.
- (gasping) Yes! I know exactly what this is.
(bottle cap pops meekly)
Oh that was-- that was pathetic!
- (Finebros) I think it's because you muffled it
with your shirt. - No, I ruined it! I'm so upset.
(feeble pop) Damn, I'm so upset.
I'm so upset I didn't get to experience it.
- Is it the popping? - (bottle cap pops)
(moans loudly)
(moans in ecstasy)
(laughing) - Mine didn't do it!
- (laughing) - You gave me a dud one!
- You're the dud's one.
