Hype House Captions You know there sure has been this
rise lately of all these streaming services gettin into like the influencer scene y'know
like quasi-reality shows about influencers or becoming influencers or putting famous tiktokers
in their movies you know that kinda thing and thankfully somehow I've avoided most of these
mostly because despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary I do have some self respect.
But something about the new Netflix reality show Hype House which is about a house called
the Hype House I dunno something about it made me wanna check it out so c'mon everybody,
let's take a walk. But before that really quick. . . (ad)
First thing there's this quick montage of random sound bites from a bunch of people in the show
My whole goal with this house in the first place was why can't people who hit millions of other
people be as famous as A-list celebrities? Wait I'm sorry but like what does that have
to do with having ten 20-year-olds living in a house together? Oh boy nothing says top Hollywood
celebrity like having nine roommates. This guy's been living in LA so long he's like "Only nine
roommates AND a pool?! I'm like Taylor Swift!" So you just woke up one day and just became an
internet celebrity? Honestly? Kinda.
We just posted a video on an app now I'm living in a mansion--yeah I'd say
that pretty much sums up why these influencers should not seen the same as A-list celebrities?
Okay couldn't have said it better myself. Like there's a big difference between going through
auditions to be in a movie or whatever and then like trying to think of different ways
of doing a hand jive to chipmunk versions of popular songs okay y'all are not the same
We have ten 20-year-olds living in a 5 million dollar house together filming
content all day it just doesn't sound real Imagine a fraternity filled with people that
have millions of dollars at their fingertips with high school drama
Oh okay so it's literally just like any frat house got it
Now based on how this Hype House show was marketed like I guess it's supposed to be about how there's
so much more to being an influencer than what you might think y'know one of those kinda things
People thought the Hype House was just like white kids with money when
it wasn't that at all it was just a bunch of different kids with different stories
Yeah guys just because they're like 20 years old and rich and famous for reasons no one
can ever really explain, it doesn't mean they don't have problems too you know!
I went to buy another Lamborghini but they only had red instead of green and
then I went home and wrote a song about it I made a post on Tiktok that got slightly
fewer views than someone I don't like so now I have to climb to the top of the highest
mountain so I can be alone and cry and stuff I did a meet and greet with my fans but none
of the girls were underage But whatever anyway
Throughout the show we meet members of Hype House like Chase who has a
really heartwrenching story about just how long it took him to get famous on Tiktok
How fast did the rise come for you on Tiktok? It actually took me a while because it was hard
when I was not in LA growing up in Stockton I was like trapped in a bubble no one to collaborate
with I made videos by myself Sup I'm live again
See y'all just don't understand how hard it must have been for him to be interesting and talented
on HIS OWN?! Unable to suckle on the udders of someone more famous than him? I mean this dude
had to come up with dances and lipsync to popular songs all by himself okay I mean I for one cannot
wait to read this autobiography. Also why does this dude's house
look like the Cheesecake Factory? Chase's house is so so sick um I love it
like lowkey looks like Cheesecake Factory Hey that's what I said!
Now I just wanna give a quick shoutout to Chase here for having only pictures of himself
all over his house I mean imagine haiving this much self esteem or like y'know any at all
As the show gets going though we start to get a good look at just how cultlike
the whole thing really is Thomas! Pool party when and
how many people can we have? Whoever you'd like over Michael
Do we want to invite Rylan and Chase? No
No Yes
Chase moved into another house because he was doing music in the city and he didn't wanna drive
an hour every day to get back But--
We should invite Chase-- Why even like give him the
opportunity to come like-- To be the better person
F*** being the better person So like first it starts out
and it's like "We're all so tight we're like best friends just one big family",
and then one dude gets his own place and then immediately everyone else in the house is like
We never speak his name again. He doesn't toe the line the way we want him to but hey we're all best
friends Hype House family forever amirite but if you ever go against the family you're dead to us
Which is a little weird because like just before this happens this guy here
Thomas he talks about how the Hype House is supposed to be like an influencer incubator
The Hype House is like a social media collective that is also kind of like an incubator
Since you guys haven't met everyone in the Hype House yet here's the squad
We've launched people like Charli and Dixie and Addison
So like when they got big and moved on like it was fine good for them no problem but then when this
guy does it it's inconsiderate and selfish? What are the rules Thomas? Like I don't know maybe he
just didn't wanna constantly be around people doing whatever the heck this is all the time
you know what I'm saying I mean can you blame him? I mean when's he supposed to find time
to sit around doing the hot guy lip touching thing okay? You can't just do that anywhere
Another big focus of this show is Nikita Dragun who is honestly one
of the most tryhard people I've ever seen In a twisted way I've always wanted to relive my
high school experience as Nikita all these people have accepted me whenever I walk through that door
in the Hype House it's not Nikita with the ten million followers and then multi-million-dollar
beauty business and the hooey dooeys and crazy exes and the controversies and whatever
I just get to be Nikita Yeah you know all those pesky controversies that
keep showing up out of nowhere like uh throwing parties during a global pandemic or outing
celebrities without their consent but hey she's pretty so like who cares you know what I mean
But then finally we get to the hard-hitting emotional part of the show
I have an Apple music interview before should I put uh Lil Huddy and "you're obsessed with me"
in my Apple music playlist? Mmmmmm
What are your thoughts on Chase living in the Encino house?
Yes Nikita who does not live in Hype House please tell us what you think of
someone else also not living in Hype House This show's the dumbest thing I've ever seen
Another main character of this reality show equivalent of connecting your
nipples to a car battery is Alex I have this philosophy I want to
do everything I can and film it Permission to let Calvin jump this
Wait what That was so sick!
Life is boring without risk life is boring without taking chance
Ah yes nothing says risk taker like being the guy who just copies David Dobrik wholesale such
a trailblazer of modern filmmaking Kouvr and I met on Snapchat
Really romantic She snapped me one of
her boobs and I was like dude I would crawl through a mile of broken glass jus0t to hear
you fart on a walkie talkie and then she was like same bro and now we're like millionaires
Wanna take the Rolls Royce or the G-Wagon?
I wanna take the G-Wagon HUUUUUUU---HUUUUUUU
You know I don't even like cars at all but like something about this
scene just makes me viscerally annoyed Now the final main character of Hype
House AKA what if passing a kidney stone went on for eight episodes is Larray
My name is Larray Meritt I am 22 years old I am from Compton California
When the Hype House announced that I joined um the entire internet like s*** on me 'cause a lot of my
fans thought the Hype House was cringy Huh now why would they go and say
something like that
They were saying that I'm whitewashed they were sa--Wait wait hold on wait
what is this petition? Save Larray from Hype House the caucasians have whitewashed him oh my
goodness we can't have him join the Hype House or else he's gonna start doing that white boy
thing of dressing like this and then saying life's hard where I come from and then the neighborhood
they grew up in just looks like this And then before you know it he'll be doing the
one thing white girls are good at which is sitting on the curb crying outside of a house party
I wanted to make out with Hunter but he was he was kissing Stephanie and he didn't even look at me
Also slight tangent here but like why do all these Tiktok guys have the same exact hair just
a whole generation getting real thirsty for these dudes who all look like Scooter from the Muppets
But whatever anyway finally everything culminates in this talk between Chase and Thomas
I feel like I haven't been reaching out enough I love you you're like a brother to me you will
always be family to me my problem with this is that the unappreciativeness I have put hours
and hours and hours and hours into this brand I've helped you from the start with anything you
need and then I didn't see you for three months You know this kind of just feels like some weird
culty guilt tripping to me like I get what you're saying Thomas but like did you ever
go and see him at his house ever you know friendship is a two way street right?
And then they talk everything out and things come to no conclusion whatsoever and then
this all just repeats for seven more episodes. But you know I gotta say watching this like I'm so
glad that I got semi big on Youtube when I was 30 because like all the people in this show they're
just somehow convinced that they're these great artists and they're just baring their artistic
souls by lipsyncing to Cardi B songs and doing shirtless backflips but to be fair though okay
if I had my channel just like it is now back when I was 20 like I probably would have been just as
bad if not worse okay lets be real here I mean I'm barely tolerable as I am now
You know being someone who I guess is relatively large on Youtube I know there's a lot of people
a lot bigger than me but I mean I'm coming up on 3 million subs so I think that's a fairly
respectable number y'know there are so many kinds of people on like Youtube for example right or
just on the internet in general y'know and like the people who get all the attention are A)
Just mostly like the worst people you've ever seen but also it's like they make it seem like
all of Youtube or all of Tiktok or all of whatever is like just your Hype Houses and your Team Tens
and your whatever like I don't even know what the genre really is like it's not necessarily vlogging
but it's kind of I mean you know it when you see it and it's like there's people on Youtube who
have like five ten twenty million subscribers who don't do those things at all like there's
like huge just really popular creators out there doing all kinds of stuff everyone watches but like
for some reason no one outside of Youtube like cares to talk about I don't know it's like can
you believe that these 20 year old millionaires are all doing this whackadoo stuff and it's like
well yeah like what else would they be doing you know what about channels like me or like
y'know Dead Meat or whatever who have like three five six million subscribers doing all this stuff
that is not y'know blowing up cars in pools or whatever it is these kids are doing y'know what I
mean it's like how come no one ever talks about any of the other 99% of people doing
making content or whatever it's like no one ever talks about us but anyway hope you enjoyed
the video everybody if you did don't forget to subscribe don't forget to ring that bell so you
don't miss any videos from me uh leave a comment down below what do you think about something that
I said or whatever got a podcast that I do with my girlfriend check that one out if you want we just
