- (cameraman, mockingly) My name's Richard!
- Ugh, the "Huuuuuh Challenge."
- Oh, is this the #huh shit?
- (cameraman) My name's Richard and I wear a Nike shirt
because I heard it's a hot brand!
- I've never seen this before, but I can already tell I'm not gonna like it.
- The Huh Challenge. Yep, I know what this is.
- The Huh Challenge.
Not my favorite internet trend.
- I've seen this all over social media lately.
Oh my god. It was cool at first.
It got annoying really quick.
- (cameraman, mockingly) My name's Rob
and I consider myself a businessman because I got on a collar shirt!
- (laughing) - (cameraman) Huuuuuuuh!
- That's so mean. This is a mean challenge.
- This guy is just roasting literally everyone.
- (cameraman, mockingly) My name's Hasani
and right now I'm eating junk food
because I'm trying to get my weight up!
- (laughing) - (cameraman) Huuuuuuuh!
- I am incredibly unamused.
- That's so rude!
- Is this like a trend now? Roast people on Snapchat?
I was not aware of this.
- (cameraman, mockingly) My name is Coen
and I wear ugly shirts that takes the focus off of my eyebrows!
- (laughing) - (cameraman) Huuuuuuuuuh!
- (cameraman) ...to take the focus off of my eyebrows!
Huuuuuuh! - (snickering)
- As long as they're laughing, I don't feel bad for laughing.
- I've seen this one many times before,
and I wanted to do it myself, but my friends get butthurt easily.
- (camerawoman, mockingly) Hi, I'm Ethan and I have a chin scruff
'cause I can't grow a full beard.
Huuuuuuuuh! - Damn. (chuckles)
- (camerawoman, mockingly) Hi, I'm Ethan and I have a chin scruff
'cause I can't grow a full beard.
Huuuuuuuh! - Owch!
- Alright, that one was calling me out.
It's really hard for me to grow facial hair,
so that touched a nerve a little bit.
- These are all funny until you start realizing
that a lot of these are accurate descriptions of yourself.
- (cameraman) Hi, my name is Owen and my hair looks like my pubes.
- (cracking up)
- (cameraman) Huuuuuuh! - Oh my god!
- I'm glad I don't have an afro anymore. I got that so much.
- How many of these do I have to watch?
We've already been through, like, twenty!
- (camerawoman, mockingly) My name is Rachel!
I have to get all A's or else I don't get dinner.
Huuuuuuuh! - (snickering)
- That was racist and harsh.
- Eh, I don't like that one.
- Oh, Asian people do homework.
If you're gonna do a joke, at least be original about it.
- (cameraman, mockingly) I'm the bus driver,
and I try to tell kids what to do 'cause I have authority!
- T-hah.
- (cameraman) Huuuuuuh-uuuuh.
- Who's bored enough to insult their bus driver?
- You have to do it to their face.
You can't do it behind their back 'cause then it doesn't make it as funny.
You don't get to see their reaction.
- (mom) My name's Bee-Hun... - Even a baby?
What's wrong with people?! - (mom) Huuuuuh.
- (mom) My name's Bee-Hun and I still wear diapers.
Huuuuuuh!
- Why you gotta-- why you gotta do the baby?
It's like a year old and you're already roasting him?
What the heck?
- It goes to show you nobody's safe, not even the babies.
- Generally hate most internet trends,
but with the Roast Yourself Challenge and all this different stuff,
it kind of fits in with everything that's happening.
♪ (punk rock music) ♪
- (FBE) So talk to us a little bit about what we just showed you.
- That was the "Huuuuuuuuuuuh" challenge.
- The Huh Challenge.
It's basically where people just roast people,
and then annoyingly go "huuuuh" after.
- I don't know why people have to put a challenge after [bleep] everything.
It started on Twitter.
- All over Twitter, all over Instagram-- basically everywhere,
and it's just like, you can't outrun it.
It's everywhere.
- If you can come up with the right one, it's funny,
but it's gotten a little played out.
- I don't understand it.
The entire concept of just being mean to your friends,
it's never really a dynamic that I've understood with my friends.
- (FBE) So challenges aside, what do you think of the videos themselves?
- They're a mix of stupid and funny.
- They're hilarious.
Something about just someone being made fun of, to me,
for anything is just hilarious.
- A lot of the time, they're harsh,
but it's good to see that people in those videos
kinda laugh it off.
- It was funny and mean because they roasted them,
but it was funny, so I guess that's how it could be appealing to some people.
- The issue with the challenge is if you want to do well in it,
and if you want to have a really funny video,
you have to expose something really embarrassing about that person,
which hurts them, but it makes for funnier videos,
so... I don't know.
It's kind of sticky.
- (FBE) So this all seems to have started with the first few videos we showed you,
that were made by the same student.
But now it seems like EVERYONE is doing this.
- How does this happen?
How does one person post three videos
and then it goes insane?
I don't get this. I don't get the internet.
- (FBE) And since this has gone viral, it's been one of the most requested topics
to cover in recent memory.
- Yeah, I was kinda wondering when it would pop up.
- (FBE) It's also something other people are already getting sick of.
- Yeah. I can see that.
- I can identify with that.
- Yeah, I'm kind of sick of it already.
- (FBE) Why do you think trends become so huge
and then so quickly take a turn, and they're instantly over?
- Because they're-- I mean, they're trends.
They don't last long.
There's very few that do.
- Once everybody's already done it, it's like, "Oh, that's SO last week.
Nobody says that. No one does that anymore."
- This would be funnier if it didn't happen all at once.
It's just so much of it, all the time.
- It's the internet.
You're supposed to be quick and fast
and everything should be moving quickly.
It would be boring to have one thing remain for months.
- People have short attention spans, so it's like you see something,
you absorb it, and then you get used to it,
and after that, you want more.
So you kick that out, and now you've made room for another trend.
- The fascinating thing about jokes in the internet culture nowadays
is they're so easy to spread so quickly,
so within a day of the release, the entire internet's seen it.
And then three days later it's like, "Oh! Yeah, remember three days ago?
Cool. Something else."
- (FBE) A criticism of this challenge is some say is that making fun of someone
is almost the point of the challenge. - Right, that's exactly the point.
- (FBE) What are your thoughts around that aspect of a popular trend
having that element in it? - I don't know.
Honestly, I feel like, as as society, we've gotta stop being so sensitive.
- If it's your best friend, it's fine.
I'm pretty sure your best friend's gonna understand,
but you don't just go and see some kid at a random locker
and just tell them, like, "Hey!"
Roast them for anything. You can't do that.
It has to be someone you know.
- How they're telling kids, "Oh, your hair looks like pubes."
You don't just say that to someone.
- I was just laughing at it, and I feel like it's really easy
to just think, "Oh, you know, it's just some random person
on the internet. It's funny."
But I feel like it can really a toll on people.
- The one that was like, "I get all A's or I won't get dinner,"
that's bullying.
I'm not proud.
Like, "Oh, my generation, we make fun of people online."
- There is a fine line between fun and mean,
and if you do it to a specific person to try and be mean to them,
then you're just being a jerk.
- If you're just going about, doing it to random people
who you don't know their background, you don't know them personally,
and you don't know how sensitive they are to certain topics,
then, yeah, it could be considered bullying.
I would say it's an okay thing as long as you're doing it with people
that are comfortable with it, and are comfortable with you.
- (FBE) Okay, so before you go, we want you to show us
how to do a proper Huh Challenge.
- (scoffs) What?
- (FBE) But you're gonna do it to yourself.
- Oh my gosh. Please don't make me do that.
- You want me to roast myself? All right.
