- (Finebros) So that was the original opening for Hannah Montana.
- Of course it was!
- (Finebros) Would you say that you were a fan of the show
when you were younger? - I never saw an episode.
I always thought it was more a girl show.
- It was one of those shows that I watched a lot,
but it wasn't my favorite show on the Disney Channel.
- I love Hannah Montana. It was such a good show.
- I was target Disney Channel audience when this show came out.
- I watched every single episode.
With my Girl Scout troop, we all went to go see the 3D movie together.
- I actually went on set of the Hannah Montana movie.
I remember I was young, and all I wanted to do
was meet Miley Cyrus.
- I watched the first episode when it aired,
and I watched the last episode when it aired... so, yes.

- Does that answer your question?
- (Finebros) So for those who don't know, what is the general plot
of Hannah Montana? - Hannah Montana is this ordinary girl.
- She's got her best friend, and they would go on these adventures.
- She was living a double life as a super star and a regular girl,
but when she's a super star, she put on a blond wig,
and no one knew for some reason.
- If they tried to make a show about that now,
I'd think it was really corny.
- It could probably still be a good show today,
but it's just the nostalgia that makes
all the shows back then a bit better.
- (Finebros) So we are covering this on the show because
Hannah Montana debuted on the Disney Channel
back in 2006. - Wow. That's weird.
- Oh my god! That's crazy.
Ten years?
- (Finebros) Making it about to have its ten year anniversary.
- It's a ten year anniversary?!
- That's weird!
I don't like that at all.
- (Finebros) How does that make you feel?
- I am so old!
- It makes me feel old.
- Oddly, old.
- I'm 14, but I feel old.
But I'm NOT old, but I feel old.
- That was my childhood, and so much time has really passed
and it makes me think of how fast life really goes by.
- (Finebros) This show is known for having a lot of catchphrases
and interesting dialogue, and we have a few here
that we're gonna show you. - Oh boy!
(rapping table) Let's see them.
- (southern drawl) You know what they say, every now and then
even a blind pig snorts up a truffle.
- (laughing) What?
- (disingenuous laughter) Hillbillies.
- (snickers) I don't remember that one.
- Billy Ray Cyrus, what a man.
- (Miley) Yeah, it's about as stupid as a vegetarian
havin' breakfast at the Beef N' Waffle. - (chuckling) What?
- That's not even clever.
- It's typical Disney!
- I don't remember this.
They sound so awful.
- (Robby) I'm so ranky, I taste my own stanky!
- (chuckles) It's weird.
Like, I don't remember their southern accents being that thick.
- It just rhymes.
It's not-- oh my god. I thought they were so much more clever.
- Is this show worse than I remember?
- Don't make me annoyed with one of my favorite childhood shows.
- (Jackson) Yee doggy!! - Okay, I've heard "yee doggy" before.
- (giggling) I remember. - (Robby) Yee doggies!
- (Miley) Yee doggies!
- It's weird how much I remember all of these.
- It kind of makes me cringe.
You don't realize how weird the acting is when you're young.
- (exaggerated accent) Yee doggy! - (cracking up)
- That was pretty good, huh?
- (Jackson) Dang flabbit! - I remember this one.
- (Miley) Dang-- - Dang flabbit! I remember that one.
- (Jackson) Dang flabbit! - Dang flabbit was always my favorite.
- That was pretty good. That was good. (laughs)
- This catchphrase-- (groans).
- (Miley) Bam!
- (together) Bam!
- (Miley) Bam!
- (Lilly) Bam!
- (Miley) Bam!
- Bam? (chuckles)
- That was iconic. Iconic.
- Lilly and Miley are friendship goals.
- (Robby) Sweet niblets!
- I remember this one too.
- (Jackson) Sweet niblets!
Sweet niblets!
- Is it bad they're all so cringy?
- (Jackson, whining) Sweet niblets.
- (Robby) Sweet, nutty niblets!
- Oh, I miss these.
- What is a sweet niblet?
- When they're about to say a catchphrase, you know
because they go, like, so deep south.
- I think they were wannabe hillbillies, like low-key,
I think that was the point of it, but obviously they're not.
(laughing)
- (Finebros) So let's talk a little bit about Miley Cyrus.
When she played Hannah Montana, could you ever have imagined
her having the image that she has today?
- No.
- No way. - No. No.
- Of course not! No, she's crazy now.
- This little girl on an innocent Disney show for kids
has now turned into Wrecking Ball.
There's no correlation between the two.
- I couldn't have imagined it, but I'm fine with it.
- We didn't understand how she felt like
because we just saw her as Miley Cyrus on this show.
We didn't see her as what she thought of herself.
- (Finebros) So, real quick, as it is ten years later,
let's take a look, side-by-side, of the images of the actors
from then to now. - Okay.
- Oh wow.
Oh my gosh, Miley looks beautiful.
- I think that's the most normal picture of Miley Cyrus
that I've seen in six years.
- Lilly, improved.
- Mitchel definitely looks way older.
- They all look like they've matured nicely.
They grew up.
- They're all cute, but they're just grow up now
and it's so weird to think about.
- Here's one more. - What the heck?
- (cracking up)
- I feel like everyone just made wrong decisions with their hair.
- I don't even know Rico's name, but he looks like a [bleep] boy now.
- The terrifying thing is Jason Earles still looks exactly the same.
- (Finebros) So Jason Earles, who played Miley's 16 year old brother,
was actually 29 years old when the show was starting.
- Wait, what?
- Wow, that's so weird! (laughs)
- Wait, that means he's 40 now!
- He's, like, almost the age of my dad.
- That's ridiculous!
There are people who would kill to look that young.
- (Finebros) So what do you think the legacy of Hannah Montana
is in mainstream culture? - I think it's gonna be known
as a really, really good Disney show.
- Hopefully, it'll live forever.
- 30 years down the line, there'll be some new form of social media,
and 16 year olds will be like, "Like if you remember Hannah Montana,"
and, "Only true 2000's kids remember Hannah Montana."
- Honestly, it's Miley Cyrus that people will remember.
- People are just gonna look at Miley Cyrus and just be like,
"Remember when she was like that?"
- Our generation kinda still admires the show.
We all know that we enjoyed it a lot,
and, honestly, if you were to play it we'd probably all sit down
and watch it again.
- (Finebros) Finally, there is a trend
to bring back old TV shows these days.
So would you want to see a reunion of characters from Hannah Montana?
- Of course!
- I'd love to see that.
- I think it would be cool.
- Yes, I would, just to see if Miley Cyrus does anything.
- I would love if they managed to do a complete reunion
with all of the things that they've done since, being in continuity.
- I don't think it's really time to have a reunion.
- I'm just a firm believer in don't fix what isn't broken.
It was a good show and we should leave it at a good show.
- I get the spin-off shows and stuff, but there needs to be new stuff.
Not everything needs to be rehashed.
- (clang!) - (Finebros) Truth!
- Thanks for watching this episode of Teens React.
- Let us know in the comments what old television show
we should react to next.
- You want to have the best of both worlds?
Like AND subscribe.
- Dang nabbit! This episode's over.
But see you next time.
- (southern drawl) Bye. Bam!
