That actually made me buy Old Spice.

(Salad Fingers) Hello.
Man, this got pretty much everything in it.
If somebody were to say "What's YouTube?"
I would show them this video.
♪ (industrial music) ♪
(Finebros) Okay, so had you seen this before?
- No. - No.
I have seen it before. I think I saw it when it came out.
(Finebros) So this was a montage video YouTube made itself.
It was very clever.
My gosh, and you made it. That's so exciting.
(Finebros) And there were so many
different references in the video.
Can you start listing off what you remember seeing?
Oh god, there were actually quite a few.
The "Numa Numa Numa" guy.
There were some YouTubers I like to watch, like Jenna Marbles.
Kid President I recognized.
Salad Fingers.
Psy, the "Gangnam Style" guy.
I saw David After Dentist. I think I saw Vsauce in there.
The Bed Intruder guy, Grumpy Cat, rickroll with Rick Astley.
Well, there was the Walk off the Earth. I love that band.
And then there was the Epic Meal Time,
which I love those guys too.
I saw the Let's Play. Let's Play's obviously huge for me,
'cause that's where I probably waste most of my time.
Charlie the Unicorn-- that one stuck out big time,
'cause that was, like-- oh, that was the best.
I did the voices and everything.
Well, obviously us. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
(Finebros) How much YouTube would you say you watch every week?
I watch a lot of YouTube. I get home from basketball or work,
and then I just catch up on all my vlogs.
It's become a nightly routine.
There's this channel called Team Four Star.
It's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. I'm obsessed.
Sometimes me and my boyfriend will watch rap battles,
and we'll get, like-- (cracks up)
we'll watch those for an hour, a good hour, maybe two hours.
It's a lot of times Let's Plays,
'cause once somebody starts playing a game,
you kinda have to keep watching to see what happens next.
And it just sucks you in like a series on Netflix.
I like watching movie reviews.
How It Should Have Ended-- those are funny.
Epic Rap Battles-- those are hilarious.
There's quite a few channels.
I've got over 100 subscriptions. It's pretty bad.
- (Finebros) And so you have kids? - Yes.
Yeah, a daughter.
(Finebros) Are they already getting into YouTube?
Yes. My five-year-old actually is the one
that will want to spend the most time on it.
I know he used to watch PewDiePie stuff.
I'm like, "You're raised by two women, and you're watching a guy
who all he's doing is running around going,
'Oh, rape you! Rape you! Rape you!'"
My son a lot of times will show me--
he watches React, so that's one thing I know he's watching.
And, you know, sometimes I check his history.
(whispers) Don't tell him. Shh.
(Finebros) He doesn't know how to delete that at this point?
- Don't tell him. - Well, now he knows.
(Finebros) So before YouTube became what it is today,
where were you watching entertainment?
Um, probably I was just watching TV.
It was just TV.
It was TV and movies. It wasn't even Internet sites.
I was watching a lot of Yu-Gi-Oh!
Just on my living, on the TV,
channel five every Saturday morning.
With my little sister, we'd just sit on the couch and watch TV.
A little bit of Internet. I used to watch Newgrounds videos.
Mostly TV.
100% on TV. That was it, you know?
And the VHS tapes. Remember those?
DVDs. Remember those?
(Finebros) So how much of an impact
do you feel YouTube has on the world?
I'm sure we wouldn't know about a lot of stuff
if it wasn't for YouTube, because people are constantly
just uploading videos, like what's going on in the Middle East.
It takes a reporter forever to get over there and get the story
and then get on the TV and then broadcast.
And online, it's (snaps) instant.
YouTube and social media has given us some sort of platform
to get everyone involved if they want to.
If you look at entertainment today and you look
at how many YouTubers have crossed over in entertainment
or the good causes-- like, without YouTube,
I'm not sure there would have been the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
You can spread a message so much easier and quicker
and in a way more global way than ever before,
and I think that's incredibly powerful.
(Finebros) Where do you think YouTube and entertainment online
- is gonna be in another 10 years? - Oh my gosh.
I think it's just gonna keep on growing.
People are leaning away from TV and stuff.
And it's just going towards YouTube and Netflix,
'cause you ask people, "Oh, did you see the show last night?"
And they'll be like, "Oh no,
I'm gonna watch it on Netflix later,"
or, "I'm gonna watch it online later."
It's probably gonna beat out TV.
I could definitely see that happening.
But that's crazy to think. Oh my gosh.
