- Oh my gosh. Is this like Mortal Kombat in real life?
(in video: man shrieks) - Oh my god! This is great.
- I wish I had an idea to do all of this.
(in video: slow motion groan) - Oh my god!
(in video: shrieking in agony) - Guys, what even--? What?
Why am I watching this?
( in video: saw buzzes, men scream) - This is like the Saw movies.
- (Finebros) You wanna see another video by these same guys?
- Yeah.
- That sounds lovely, yes.
- No. - (Finebros) Too bad.
- Awesome.

(in video: grunting)
- That would-- dude, that was real though.
(chuckling)
- Oh my god. The broom's broken.
(in video: Wilheim scream) - (cracking up) This is so great.
- I would never think of this concept.
- Wow, good quality, honestly.
- I wish I was this bad ass.
- I was wish this was real life so bad. I wish I had a wand.
- So incredibly impressive.
(in video: vicious screaming)
- (laughing) Do they get noise complaints from the neighbors?
(lightsaber hums) - (Anakin) You were the Chosen One!
- (Harry) What the [bleep] are you talking about?

- (bystander) Galdalf, no! - Wh-What?
Wait, was he screaming Gandalf?
- Those guys are hilarious.
- Who are these people? Like, where do they come from?
♪ (drum solo) ♪
- (Finebros) Okay, so were these videos fun to watch?
- Yeah, they were fun to watch.
- If I had the resources, I wish I could do something like that.
It's so much fun.
- The first one, no. The second one, yeah that's cool.
- (Finebros) Why isn't the first one fun?
- What do you mean, "Why isn't the first one fun?"
(laughing) Was it fun for you to watch the first time?
- (Finebros) It was fun for me to watch you watch it.
(laughing)
- (Finebros) What do you think about their special effects?
- Um, they actually weren't bad considering they were made
by probably some people who sit around the house all day thinking,
"What could we do in this video?"
- They used special effects,
but a lot of it they used actual makeup and stuff.
- The tongue hanging out when they took the jaw out,
that was funny. - That was a jaw? Oh, okay.
- I thought they were so good.
Like, I have no idea how they did that. It was pretty amazing.
- (Finebros) Why, even though this is SO violent,
would it be popular? - Because it's so over-the-top violent
that it's not real.
- We're all always thinking about death, I think,
and I feel like we're all obsessed with it,
so when we see it in action it turns us on.
- That controversy of how Mortal Kombat is so gory and stuff,
and then they just stepped it up to the next level
of just making it ten times worse.
- Well, for the first part, it's what everybody knows
when they play Mortal Kombat.
Like you're just thinking, "Wow, these things are just egregious
and over-the-top, and they're not realistic at all."
But then seeing this, it's like, "Oh, yeah, even in real life
it could be done, but it's still egregious and over-the-top."
- (Finebros) And then Harry Potter versus Star Wars,
that was about a year ago.
That has over 15 million views. - Dang.
- That makes sense because that one was cool.
- Why is that something that people would want to share
and also go viral? - Fandoms.
- It's Star Wars and Harry Potter, two really great movie franchises.
- It's two of the biggest things ever, and when you put them together
against each other, everyone's gonna watch that.
- It's Star Wars versus Harry Potter.
Yeah, that equals Internets. Star Wars + Harry Potter = Internets.
It's a real formula.
- (Finebros) Here's another case of a channel doing all this
really complex special effects, but it's not some giant company.
- I think it's insane how anybody, literally anybody,
can do pretty much anything with film and media.
- I think it's pretty amazing.
It can show what kind of talent people have and go unnoticed
because they couldn't get into the right school
or they just couldn't get noticed or not in the right place
at the right time.
- When I see it, I don't understand the work that goes behind it,
but I know that there is definitely a lot of higher-level thinking
that goes into making that kind of stuff, and it's really, in my opinion,
admirable that people are able to do that.
- Like Avatar: The Last Airbender, so hyped for that movie
when it came out.
The worst special effects ever.
It's like, come on, just hire a YouTuber to do that.
Like, hire a cat to do that! They could do a better job.
- (Finebros) So walk us through that process:
what makes a video shareable according to you
and then where do you share it?
- Okay, so I'll find a video.
Usually, it'll be like Kingsley or Super Woman,
something really fun.
- It has to be likeable, it has to be relatable,
or else my family and everyone's gonna be like,
"Why are you sharing this?"
- Usually, I'll share it on Facebook because I feel like
that's the easiest way to do it.
- I think I would mostly share videos on Facebook, probably.
I mean, I don't know, the whole reposting process
on Instagram is way too much for me.
To be perfectly honest, 99.9% of the videos I share are of pugs.
