Ooh, a promposal?
If you guys make me cry, I'm outta here.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this.
It's awful!
Promposals are so lame to me.
(in video) What's that sign say?
I think it's so cute when couples do this for each other.
I hate romance.
- I think something something "Lee"? - (chuckling)
[inaudible].
(in video) Will... you...
- What the [bleep]? - (giggles)
- (in video) That's [bleep]. - (shocked gasp)
What?!
I just--
Look at his face! This is so sad.
I feel so bad for this guy.
(in video) Go... to... prom with me?
- That's a [bleep] way to ask-- - (cracking up)
(aghast shock) No!
I thought it was cute.
Ooh, I hope they crash just to end the awkwardness.
(in video) Well, okay.
- What? - (laughs) That is so awkward!
(in video) Was that you?
- Yeah. - Aww, baby!
Oh no! Oh my god, his poor heart.
(laughing) And now the question mark!
(laughing) Oh my gosh!
- (in video) I'm really sorry that-- - You should feel bad.
Oh, baby, it's okay. It is [bleep].
(in disbelief) Is she crying?
What is this?! For a prom?
This is the worst! Why didn't he destroy this footage?
I hope he forgives her.
Is he taking her somewhere to kill her?
Where are they?
(in video) I'm really sorry, Daniel.
(sobbing)
I'm surprised she let him upload this.
Oh my god, I want to hug her, and I want to hug him at the same--
I feel so bad right now!
(French accent) A little later.
(in video) I turned off the video.
I'm sorry. Don't kill me.
They got some coffee. Everything's chill, you guys.
(in video) I didn't want the video to record her bawling her eyes out.
That is so cute.
(in video) We're going, obviously.
That was a little Miranda, how she said "obviously".
(dramatically) Obviously!
Oh, he-- he-- she had to heart it "Yes" or "No".
Aww, that's cute.
(moaning) Geez.
You made me emotional!
I felt for him and for her.
Aww. (laughing)
Kids are cute.

(Finebros) Okay, so can you talk about what happened here in this video?
Right, so a guy tried to ask,
I'm guessing it was his girlfriend, to prom.
In a more thoughtful way than I've ever thought to ask a girl.
Using road signs, I guess,
and she thought it was a [bleep] way to ask.
She thought it was lame and then she found out it was her boyfriend.
Not cool, girl. Not cool.
And then starting bawling her eyes out
in the most silent, stealth cry,
probably like, "Oh, I'm such a jerk now."
He's like, "[Bleep] yeah!
You know what? God!
This thing's gonna go viral!"
But little does he know it went viral
because of what she said. (laughing)
(Finebros) What did you think of the girl's reaction
after she realized that it was her boyfriend who had done this?
That was hilarious.
I've been in that position before, and there was-- (moaning).
That was embarrassing
and I just had the best three minutes of my life.
Honestly, it just makes me sad, actually watching that part.
That's, like, the worst feeling in the entire world.
She just talked [bleep] about someone behind their back,
not realizing that they were right there
and it was someone she cared about.
(Finebros) Do you sympathize with her, with how this went down, or no?
I mean, I more sympathize with him.
I normally would feel bad, but you know what?
I don't.
I do sympathize with her because that has happened to me before!
I've made so many awkward jokes before.
I do sympathize for her.
I probably wouldn't have taken it so seriously.
I would've just laughed it off, you know?
(Finebros) Can you talk about how in life you sometimes do
say things without thinking and immediately regret it?
I mean, like, I don't what else there is to say.
That's just a fact.
It's part of growing up.
I think that, especially in high school and as a teenager,
everything's out of impulse.
Every teenager says [bleep] that they don't really mean
or they're just saying.
I mean, look at any comments section on YouTube.
They think the younger you get, like when you're two or three or four,
you're really saying stuff like, "Oh, why's that lady so big?"
and things like-- you learn later that it's not appropriate.
- (Finebros) So did you go to prom? - I did.
I did!
I went to prom three times.
I went to prom when I was a freshman
'cause a senior asked me.
I went to my prom with a sophomore 'cause no one asked me,
so I had to ask a younger man.
I was prom king, actually.
You know, I had a nice suit. It was a white suit
with a hot pink undershirt and a white tie.
I looked so fly, bro.
(Finebros) How did you ask someone to prom?
Dude, I was so basic.
I just straight-up asked.
I think we just said, "You wanna go to prom?"
No one ever did anything special like that to me.
I ended up just texting my prom date.
I was like, "Hey, um... you should come to prom with me."
And she was, "Yeah, yeah, okay."
It was English class and, end of class, I raised my hand
to ask a question and the teacher called on me and I said,
"Yeah, I've got a question.
Emily, will you go to prom with me?"
I don't know why it's such a big deal now
because even when I was in high school,
it was a big deal to get asked to prom,
but no one did it elaborately like that.
(Finebros) The idea of what the prom is, how do you look back on it
now that you're older?
I have fond memories of it.
I think of it as a positive, fun thing.
I loved prom. I had a great time.
I just had a different high school experience.
A lot of people hated high school. I loved high school, bro.
It's getting there, huh?
We're gonna ask those questions? I had a rough time, man.
I don't know. I didn't enjoy the proms, man.
I don't know.
It always upset me because I was the girl who was never asked,
and so it just kinda rubbed it in my face.
I feel like there's way too much pressure.
From a guy's side, there's a lot of pressure.
Prom is where a lot of people, in pop culture,
lose their virginity.
From a girl's perspective, it's a bunch of boys
just wanting to have sex with you so badly!
Like their little [bleep]s are gonna pop out of their pants!
(gruffly) They're so excited!
(Finebros) So this was a promposal.
- Are you familiar with that trend? - Yes, yes.
I've watched all those Vines and all those YouTube videos.
I've seen people-- I guess people go really all out now.
I've never heard of a promposal before.
I think this is the first promposal I've watched and I do not like it.
Nowadays, if you don't have a flash mob
or a sky banner or something,
it feels like a letdown
when, really, you should just be excited
that, you know, a person wants to take that step.
(Finebros) Why do you think in today's world
the idea of having to ask someone to prom
in such a huge way has become the trend?
I don't know, man!
People want to look cool in front of their friends.
Everybody wants a viral video.
Now that everything can go viral,
you do everything in your power to show it to the world.
Social media has a lot to do with it.
You can brag about how you got asked to prom
and make sure everyone knows.
Back when I was in high school, nobody had Facebook.
We weren't gonna show off how a guy asked,
but nowadays you're like, "Hey, I can post this on Instagram
and get a whole lotta likes!"
(Finebros) So back to this video, what do you think of this kid, Daniel,
that when she started to cry he didn't just keep rolling?
He did turn off the camera.
Well, I mean, no-- Daniel seems like a sweet kid.
Good boyfriend. Good kid. What a sweetheart.
I think it was sweet.
He didn't want to have her crying on video for an hour.
I was surprised that she let him upload it!
Like, what?
If I was crying in a video like that, I'd be like,
"Maybe we can just keep this for ourselves."
I think Daniel is very sweet,
but he still uploaded the video, so [bleep] you, Daniel.
(Finebros) But finally though, he did end up posting this online
with her bawling her eyes out.
- What do you think about that? - This is true.
You know what? I still like Daniel.
I think he got her permission to upload it.
He probably asked her. I bet you.
She probably was smart enough to be like,
"Nah, nah, leave it in. It'll be hilarious."
Do it for the views, man. (laughing)
He knew what he was doing.
I think that guy knows the internet better than we think.
Somebody's gotta pay for the corsage.
You gotta get that YouTube money!
Her tears equal a prettier dress.
Thanks for watching another episode of YouTubers React.
Make sure you subscribe to all these sexy people down here.
Let us know in the comments which video we should
react to next.
(gently) Internet, will you go to prom with me?
NO?!
Well, bye!
