- (whispering) What is he doing?
- (Shia) DO IT!!!
DO IT!!! - What is this?
- (Shia) DO IT!!!
- I love this so much.
(Shia) Just DO IT!!! - He's a yeller.
- (Shia) Don't let your dreams be dreams. - What?
- (Shia) Yesterday, you said tomorrow, so just DO IT!!!
- No.
- (Shia) Make your dreams come true! - (creeped out) Okay.
- (Shia) Just... DO IT!!! - Do what?
- (whispering) What's he talking about?
- (Shia) Some people dream of success while you're gonna wake up
and work hard at it!
Nothing is impossible. - Well, can I fly?
Can I have telekinesis? - (Shia) You should get to the point
where anyone else would quit, and you're not gonna stop there.
- Sir, yes, sir. (giggles) - (Shia) NO!
What're you waiting for? - He's the weirdest guy ever.
- (Shia) DO IT!!! - Do what?
- (Shia) Just-- - He's really into it.
- (Shia) DO IT!!! - NO!
- (Shia) Yes, you can.
- No, I won't! - (Shia) Just do it.
- No.
- Why's he yelling at us?
- (Shia) If you're tired of starting over...
stop giving up! - I'm not giving up!
- (Shia) Stop giving up. - How do you even know I've given up?
(silence)
- Why are you squatting?
- Okay.
- Is he in jail or something?
- Do what?!
What do you want me to do?!
- (children) Question time!
- (Finebros) So what do you think about this guy who was yelling?
- He was a bit much.
- He squats too much.
- Angry. Very angry.
- He's creepy, that's it.
- (Finebros) He kept saying, "Just do it!"
What does he want you to do? - Uh, I don't know.
- I don't know.
- He really wants people to not give up on their dreams.
- He was like, "Don't give up!"
And I was just like, "I never did!"
And he like, "Just don't!" And I was like, "Okay!"
- (Finebros) Would you say some of the things
he was saying were good things? - Yes.
- Yes. He doesn't want me to just give up.
- Yeah, but just not in a positive way of saying it.
- He was doing the wrong thing and the right thing.
- Because of mannerisms, it made it so just angry and negative.
- You don't need to be so aggressive, like, "YOU NEED TO DO THIS!!!"
- (Finebros) Do you recognize who this person is?
- No.
- Should I?
- I recognized him from a TV show, I think.
- Shia LaBeouf. He is an actor.
- (Finebros) Well, his name is Shia LaBeouf.
- What?
- I have no idea who that is.
- Oh yeah.
- I do know him!
- (Finebros) Well, he's an actor. - He's an actor?
- From Transformers.
- (Finebros) And he was the star of the Transformers movies,
and was also a kid actor and he was in a bunch of things
but his most famous TV show, when he was a kid,
was called Even Stevens. You ever heard of that show?
- No.
- Nope!
- No, I haven't even seen Transformers.
- That sounds vaguely familiar.
- I don't think I've ever seen it, but I've heard of it.
- I was gonna say, "Wasn't he on Even Stevens?"
I swear to god, I was gonna say that.
I actually remember watching some of it.
- (Finebros) So we're gonna show you a picture of what he looked like
when he was a kid, compared to what he looks like now,
and you'll tell us what you think of the difference.
- It's probably gonna be a cute little boy,
and now he's, like, screaming at people.
Oh my gosh, I'm totally right!
- He doesn't really look like the same person.
- Before, he seemed happy. Now he's yelling at you to just do it.
- I feel like he's from a movie, Holes.
- (Finebros) He was in Holes! - Yes.
He's changed a lot.
- He looks like he's just a normal, happy boy.
He thinks, "I'm gonna have a great life and be so happy."
- (Finebros) So back to the video, do you have any idea why
he decided to make this? - I don't know. Maybe a commercial?
- Maybe he got fired or something.
- Did he just do that to put it-- or does he have a YouTube channel?
- There was a green screen behind him, so maybe it was for a movie?
- Isn't the "Just do it" thing Nike's or something?
- Isn't it Nike?
- (Benny Fine) It's not. - (Rafi Fine) No.
- Wait, what?
- (Finebros) So it turns out that this was a piece of a project
that he was in, that was a 30 minute long video
where he was just reading things that college students
had written for him to act out. - Wow.
- Oh, that makes more sense.
- I kinda wanna see the whole thing!
- But this small clip, by itself, went viral.
Why do you think this video of a famous actor
yelling these things at people became so popular?
- Because it's weird and funny.
- Maybe it's just because it's funny.
- The hand motions. The hand motions!
- And then, while he does it, he starts flexing.
And then some people are like, "What is this?"
And they reposted it everywhere.
- Because it has no context.
If some people probably don't think that he's acting in it,
(laughing) so he's just saying that.
People are probably gonna think he's gone off the deep end.
- (Finebros) Okay, so people didn't just watch this.
They took this footage and made other videos with it,
so we're gonna show you a few clips
of how people have used this footage. - Okay.
(Shia, muffled) Make your dreams-- - (man) Oh my god. Is he out there again?
- (Shia) Just-- - (man) Hey, didn't I tell you yesterday
I was calling the cops? - (Shai) Yesterday, you said tomorrow.
So just DO IT!!!
- (man) How are you even getting up here?
That's an impossible climb. - (Shia) Nothing is impossible!
- (cracking up) That's perfect.
- Things could run wild.
- Oh my god. The Avengers! Yes! - (Shia) DO IT!!!
(helicopter flies overhead) - (Shia) Just DO IT!!!
(cracking up)

- How'd he get in The Avengers? - (Shia) Nothing is impossible!
- (Captain America) Now might be a really good time
for you to get angry. - (Shia) DO IT!!!
- Oh my god.
- What?
- He turned into Hulk.
- Thank you for showing me this.
(giggling uncontrollably)
(Goku grunts)
- (sighs) Oh, Goku.
- I used to watch this.
- (Shia) DO IT!!!
Just DO IT!!! (Goku grunts)
- (Shia) Make your dreams come true! - (laughing) Come true.
- Wow. - (Shia) Just do it!
(Goku screams) (cracks up)
- Whoa. (chuckles)
- Oh my gosh.
- That was beautiful.
- That's great, you know? (laughing) Creativity is key.
- I wonder what the actor's reaction is.
Happy, sad, or like, "What the heck?"
- (Finebros) So last thing, we want you to pretend
you are Shia LaBeouf, so we're gonna have you say
some of these things. - (whimpering) No, I don't want to.
I'm not used to yelling.
- I feel like I need to stand up. - (Finebros) Okay, you can stand up.
- Okay.
- Just do it!
- Don't let your dreams be dreams!
- (screeching) Don't let your dreams be dreams!!!
- Yesterday, you said tomorrow.
- (tinny voice) So just do it!!!
- Just do it!
- (yelling) Make your dreams come true!
- (stilted) Make. Your. Dreams. Come. Truuuue!!!
- Just do it!
- (screeching) Just DO IT!!!
(aggressive grunt)
(giggles)
(silence)
- I'm Shia LaBeouf!
