(Finebros) Here are a pair of JNCOs.
Oh my god!
They're huge.
These are bigger than my face.
These pockets are ridiculous!
Huge pockets. I could fit my face in here!
♪ (drum solo) ♪
(Finebros) So there were other types of these as well for girls.
(moans) The bottoms are just so not cute.
How is that comfy?
Oh gosh.
I mean, I guess they'd be kinda comfy.
It's so weird! Now everything's so skinny.
(Finebros) There also were really giant ones called Mammoths.
Oh my! Oh my!
Whoo!
Oh my god!
Are you kidding me?
No!
These are so heavy.
It'd be a workout wearing these around.
You can physically put a Wii in here, or an Xbox.
It would make sense to me that the hips or the butt would be bigger
because your legs get skinnier as you go down.
You wouldn't even be able to see your shoes.
(Finebros) Did you know this was a thing that people wore?
No.
I never knew that this was a thing.
Like, look how low the pockets are!
I don't think I would ever wear a pair of these in my life.
(Finebros) What do you think the appeal was?
The thug life. Looking gangster.
Maybe they wanted to seem skinnier
since the jeans were so huge.
I guess they're comfortable
'cause they're not hugging your legs like skinny jeans now.
It's like any other fad.
Someone decides to be different and then other people are like,
"Oh, that's cool too. I wanna be different too."
And then everyone ends up wearing the same exact thing.
(Finebros) What types of jeans are the styles now?
Skinny jeans.
People like 'em skinny now.
You wear the tightest pants that you can fit onto your body.
I used to know a kid who would buy female skinny jeans
so he would have skinnier jeans.
Nobody who does squats or deadlifts can wear it by the way.
(Finebros) So you know what's going to happen next.
We do want you to try them on.
(laughs) Okay.
See, I saw that coming.
(laughing)
(laughing) These are so big!
Yeah, why?!
Honestly, I feel like I could fly away.
Look at these pockets! They're down to my shoes.
(Finebros) So what do you think now that you've worn some?
I still don't understand the point.
You're gonna trip with every single step you take.
I feel like I'm wearing curtains on my legs.
I don't get it.
I mean, sure, they're a little comfortable,
but they're not functional.
(Finebros) So the '90s are when we were teenagers
so we, of course, had JNCOs.
In fact, we have a picture of Rafi wearing them.
- Can I see it? - (Finebros) Absolutely.
Yeah!
(suppressed laughter)
Whoo, yeah! (cracking up)
It makes you look shorter. Sorry.
You know what? You were rocking it.
You were rocking it, Raf. That was your style.
(Finebros) This is actually from a movie that we made 15 years ago.
Oh!
(Finebros) Would you like to see it?
I don't know what I'd do if I didn't see it.
- (in video) We take him to the bathroom-- - Look at the hair!
- (in video) Kick the [bleep] out of him! - You look so tough!
- ♪ (metal guitar riff) ♪ - Slade!
(death metal scream)
It's like metal!
Did they model metal after Slade?
(mimics explosion)
What?!
(Finebros) What's your prediction? Will this become a thing again or not?
No.
Flat out no.
Please, don't.
No! This will not become a thing again.
It can't.
