- The nugget story!
This is probably one of my favorites.
I mean, he gets the nuggs.

- (FBE) So today, we're going to be showing you
the top 10 most retweeted tweets of all time.
- Ooh! Am I going to have to rank these?
- (FBE) And we're going to see if you can correctly place them
in order from one to ten. - Dang!
This is gonna be tricky.
- This is tricky.
You gotta know the world to do this.
- (FBE) So this list might fluctuate by the time this airs,
but on the day we're filming this, it is accurate.
However, we will be posting an updated list in the description
when this episode releases if anything changed.
- We're gonna win. We're gonna do amazing.
- (FBE) So we also see in the comments and on social media
that viewers at home play along with you all,
so everyone watching, grab a pen and paper
and leave us a comment or tweet us on how you did compared
to the reactors.
So what do you want to say to the people playing along at home?
- Good luck. May the most addicted user win.
- (FBE) So this first tweet comes from One Direction member Louis Tomlinson.
- You know this was old because this was from his Blackberry.
- (FBE) It seems to be a reference to the relationship
beween Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles
that fans have named "Larry Stylinson."
- (laughing) "Larry Stylinson."
You always gotta love the ships, I guess.
- I want to think this is really high up
because the whole-- - Oh, 100%.
- "Always in my heart, Harry Styles. Yours sincerely, Louis."
What? - Oh!
- How is that part of the top 10 most retweeted?
- I'm gonna tweet Keith right now.
"Dear Keith, always in my heart... @keithhabs."
TWEET!
- That's gotta be quite big because even
I'm not a One Directioner, but I know about this.
- I think that this is gonna do pretty well.
It's One Direction, so they're very clingy.
- (FBE) So, where in the top 10 do you think this tweet fits?
- Damn! I don't know because their fans are really intense.
Maybe at six.
- Okay, so number one? - (laughing)
I think it's a number eight. - All right, let's go eight.
- Four.
- I'm thinking--
- I will put that as number nine.
- Maybe... - (both) ...three.
- Everyone was obsessed with the thought
of Louis and Harry and the fact that he's playing into it,
I feel like everyone was probably like, "Oh, my god!"
- Oh, yeah.
- "If the Cleveland Cavaliers win the the 2018 NBA finals,
I'll buy everyone who retweets this a jersey."
(sharp exhale) People love free stuff.
- Oh, wow.
He was fishing for retweets.
- Yeah, I think my friends had a long discussion about
the legality of this promise.
- I don't know anything about basketball.
We don't really get it in the UK.
Number five.
- Top five, for sure. - Okay, let's go with five.
- Free stuff, sports... eh... a seven.
- Number seven. I don't care about sports at all
but he did fish for retweets, which is gonna bring in 90% more,
100% more engagement.
- (FBE) So this tweet by Barack Obama was the first of three tweets
quoting a passage from Nelson Mandela's
autobiography and was posted in response
to the 2017 Charlottesville attack. - Oh. Oh, I just got chills.
- "No one is born hating another person..."
I've definitely seen this tweet.
"...because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion."
I remember this tweet doing very well.
- Man... yeah, that was a tough, tough day.
- So I remember it doing really well, and I think that might be
the most retweeted tweet of all time.
- That should be number one, for sure.
- I'm going number one because, at the end of the day,
people have heart, you know, and this unifies, and it's great,
and I also just love Obama.
- I'll put it at seven.
I'm waiting for the big heavy hitter tweet.
- That's number one. - No, no.
I definitely know number one. - You know number one?
- It's number three.
- Six? - Eighth.
Eighth. - Six.
- Five because its got a really good message.
You know, people are drawn to that. People love Obama.
- "Broken, from the bottom of my heart.
I am so, so sorry. I don't have words."
- This was about the Manchester attack,
and that was a really big deal and that was really sad.
- Yeah, I remember reading that literally minutes after it happened.
- The whole world was really sad, and this is a beautiful way
of trying to say something about it.
- I feel like it's definitely a lot, but I don't know
if it would be more than, like, Obama. - Yeah.
- Maybe even five.
- Let's go with a number four.
- I can't decide whether or not people are more likely
to retweet more positive stuff or more negative stuff.
I'm gonna say number four.
- (FBE) Next up. - (laughing)
- "Help me please. A man needs his nuggs!"
- (FBE) Carter Wilkerson initially retweeted a Wendy's,
asking how many retweets he needed for a year of free chicken nuggets.
Wendy's replied with 18 million, and his tweet asking for help
ended up receiving unlikely support, starting the #NuggsForCarter.
- Yeah, and then they actually did give him the nuggets.
- The nugget story!
This is probably one of my favorites.
I mean, he gets the nuggs!
- Only a year?
18 million retweets, that should be a lifetime amount of nuggets.
- Oh, shoot. Now we're making Barack number one.
Carter's number two.
- Nuggets, number two!
- Four! - Four!
- I'm gonna go for number two.
- Two. This is great. He says, "Consider it done."
Confidence goes a long way.
- I'm gonna put that at number three.
- Three!
People love chicken nuggets and they're all about helping people
get those sweet nuggs.
- "Luh-mah... leh-mon-nada? Leh-muh-nah-duh?
Limonada." What is that?
- (FBE) So this is from El Rubius, a spanish YouTuber
who told his followers that they could enter a drawing
for prizes by retweeting the tweet that consisted of
the Spanish word for lemonade, "limonada."
- "Limonada." I'm Mexican and don't know that.
What is wrong with me?
- This one probably is number one because we don't know what it is.
- Probably.
- I'm realizing something about my own Twitter game,
is I should just promise people prizes
or free stuff in exchange for retweeting things.
- Oh! Oh!
This guy's the biggest guy ever for Spanish speaking countries.
- It's number four for sure. - Probably.
- Because he's not bigger than Obama.
- I'll put it at nine, "lemonade" in English.
- Five? - Five it is.
- Limonada! - Is this legible?
- No.
- I'm just gonna go eight.
Is he part of the "Illimanada"? - (FBE) Oh, my god.
(laughing) ♪ (buh dum tsss) ♪
- (FBE) Next up-- - Oh, god.
- He made it twice?
- How cheap!
Oh, my last tweet did well? Limonada 2.0.
- That's really impressive considering that
nobody else so far has been on it twice.
Again, people love free stuff.
- Things don't do as well a second time around.
I'm gonna put that down at nine.
- Nine.
- Ten. Maybe his first one was nine, and the second one was ten.
- Well, this is making number eight. Fricking limonada.
- Ten. The sequel is never as good as the original...
except for certain occasions. Shrek 2, very good.
- (FBE) Japanese billionaire Yusako Maezawa
tweeted this, in which he promised to give away
100 million yen, or roughly $924,000
between 100 individuals who followed and retweeted the tweet seen here.
This is the translated version of the tweet,
which was originally in Japanese. - Oh, and this just happened.
People love free money.
- Whenever I see tweets like this that's giving money away, is it real?
- I know. It looks like a scam.
- Is this spam? - This is spam, dude.
- Should we put this at number one-- - "ZozoTown."
- I like their little E.T. graphic that they made.
- Number one! This is the number one.
I swear to God. - Are you sure?
- Yeah, I saw this and it had 20 million retweets.
I didn't even know there was that many people on Twitter.
- Like, three? Aah!
- I'm gonna put that at number six.
If I had known about this, I would have retweeted it.
- Number six.
Did he actually give these people-- you know he didn't.
Japanese billionaire?
- (FBE) So this tweet encouraged relief efforts in Houston
after Hurricane Harvey. - Yeah.
Wow, that was devastating.
- "With the current devastation in Houston, we are pledging $0.15
for every retweet this gets. Please forward this along."
- I wish this was number one, but I feel like it's probably not.
- Oh, no! I want this to do good.
- I mean, that's amazing, $0.15 a retweet.
- I think we're trapped, but it's gonna have to go two
for now and then we'll move it down the list.
- Eight for now.
- Six. - Yeah.
I feel like Wendy's probably got more than that.
- I feel like that's a solid, viable option for number six.
- I'm gonna go with number three... hopefully.
I'm having faith in humanity right now.
- (FBE) This star-studded selfie was taken as part of the gag
from the 86th Academy Awards, hosted by Ellen.
- I do think I saw this actually. - I didn't see this one.
That's a lot of famous people in one picture.
- As soon as we started doing this, I was like, okay,
this is obviously gonna be on the list,
but I don't know where it's gonna be now.
- This was iconic and this was definitely on record
as the most retweeted picture.
I don't think it's one anymore.
- It's definitely not number ten, because I remember
that broke records.
- I don't think it's number one.
- Well, I have one spot left, and sadly, Ellen, you're on the bottom.
- (FBE) All right, so now that you've watched through
all of these, we're gonna give you a chance
to make changes. Let us know when you're locked.
- All right, I'm switching Oscar Selfie and Nuggs for Carter.
I think Nuggs for Carter is number one.
- [Bleep] Limonada [bleep] is really making me mad.
- It really was a curveball.
- (FBE) Do you feel confident? How do you feel?
- Stressed.
- Don't be freaked out.
I drew a little spider.
- At least my numbers add up.
- I'm so proud of you.
- I have no idea what I just wrote. - They're gonna love ya.
- (FBE) So now that you're done, we're gonna go from number ten
to number one and we'll see how many you got right.
- Okay.
- (FBE) You get two points for every answer you get spot on,
and one point if you're one away from the correct answer.
- Oh, okay!
I'm excited to see what's number one.
- (FBE) So starting with number ten is Ariana Grande.
- Really?
Wow, I thought that would be much higher
up the list.
- Oh, come on!
Okay, well, I'm starting off bad.
- (FBE) Number nine is Damarious Randall.
- We got it! (laughing) - Yes!
- Wow. I get one point.
- Oh, no. - No!
- See, not that many people like basketball.
- Yes! Okay, Cleveland.
You're not the best but not the worst.
- (FBE) Number eight is the Penn State Hurricane Harvey tweet.
- Dang it!
I had faith in humanity, and they let me down.
- Nope, I have that at number five.
- I'd say it was number one for me.
I just thought people would donate because it's just easy.
- (FBE) Number seven, El Rubius with his Limonada 2.0 tweet.
- Oh, I'm so far from that. That's another zero for me.
- We are killing it! - I am killing it!
- We destroyed this thing. - I destroyed this thing.
- (FBE) All right, coming in at number six,
Barack Obama. - That's terrible.
That should be number one. America, lock it down.
- I'm shocked. - No! No!
Everything is wrong.
- We're not very good at this. - No, I don't think so.
- But we got number one.
- I got him at seven. - (FBE) Nice! That's a point.
- Yeah!
- (FBE) Number five, El Rubius. - I'm really doing bad.
- Nope. Had number five for Hurricane Harvey.
- That was just a guess. I just like lemonade.
- (FBE) Number four, Louis Tomlinson. - That's where I put it,
is number four, One Direction.
- Woo! - Dang.
We should get a lottery ticket after this.
- (FBE) All right, number three, Ellen Degeneres.
- Oh, so the record was beaten.
This is how out of touch I am.
- (both) Yay! - We got it right.
- This means the one million yen [bleep] is way up high?
- (FBE) Number two, Carter Wilkerson, the nuggets guy.
- Uh... wait, number two? Ugh, I changed it!
I mean, I was still one away.
- BOOM! - We're the best in the world!
- I got one right!
- (FBE) Which means coming in at number one is Yusako Maesawa.
- What?!
- I'd be pissed if I was Ellen or Obama or Wendy's
- Yeah, they all deserve number one.
- Can we go back to when I said "Should we put this one just because?"
- Should we put it as number one-- - ZozoTown!
- And I changed it to ten.
- Ten, you went the opposite direction.
- People love money.
Why didn't they love Omaba looking at little babies in a window?
- I'm not gonna take credit for that, but we got the points.
- You were right.
- Only because I saw it.
If I would have not have seen it, I would have been ten.
- All these different categories and then the number one is people
just trying to get rich.
I'm always on Twitter.
I use it as a news source.
It gets movements started. It's great for charities,
and apparently getting rich. (laughing)
