- Oh, planking? - Ah!
Kylie Jenner! What's going on?
- This is hard, 'cause I don't remember the exact year.
I'm not feeling too good about this.
♪ (dramatic chord) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we're gonna be showing you a trend from each year
in the past 10 years to see if you can correctly tell us
which year the challenge or trend happened.
- Ohhh. - I think we can do this.
- Okay. - (FBE) Since we have been covering
these trends and challenges for so long,
all the clips you'll see are from past FBE episodes.
- Nice. Oh, that's awesome. - (FBE) We will, however,
avoid trends and challenges that are very dangerous
or have become things YouTube policy wouldn't let us show.
- Oh, YouTube policies. Wah-wah.
Killing the internet one trend at a time.
- Oh. Easy. Easy! - Oh, yes. Boom!
♪ And the cap comes spinning off ♪ - Bottle Cap Challenge, okay.
- This had to be last year. I did this. I tried this.
- I do remember that. That was kind of recent.
- Last year. Gotta be last year. - (Phil) This is a trend.
I know this... - How does he know what it is?
(laughs) How does grandpa know? - (Phil) ...kicking the lid
off the top without getting a hernia. - Same.
- Aww, she did it! Awww! That was cute. I'll adopt her.
I'll adopt her. - I kinda wanna try it to be honest.
- Bottle Cap Challenge. That is fairly new.
That's gotta be at least 2018 to 2020. - My gut says 2016.
- That feels way too early to me! - I'm gonna say for number one, 2019.
- I might go '19. Ugh, that's wrong.
No, no. Let's stick with that for now. For now.
All right. - Grace! I love her.
What is she watching? - (Grace) It's an invisible step.
- Oh, yes! The box. - (Philip) I literally
was just watching this yesterday. - I feel like this one
was pretty recent as well. I think 2018.
- How do people even do that? Defying gravity. (laughs)
- (Anthony chuckles) Why is he backing up so far?
- Facts. Oh my gosh. - Yeah, this trend was pretty cool.
I actually tried it myself, and it did not look good at all.
- I also got a look at my fellow reactors
and what they're wearing. Bach was selling that hoodie
also pretty recently. - (Grace) I liked it,
and then I didn't like it. - Was she sitting right here?
She was sitting right here. - Where the hell was I
during this episode?! - Oh, they got to try it.
That wasn't that bad. - Wow, that's crazy.
It really looks like they're staying in the air for a second.
- (FBE) So, that was the Invisible Box Challenge.
- Invisible Box. It sounds like they're talking
about Barbie's crotch. - I saw people at my high school
doing this, and I graduated 2017, but also why do I feel
like it's 2018? - How long was Anthony's hair there?
It was short, wasn't it? It was short.
And he was wearing his Best Interviewer T-shirt.
Oh, you gave yourselves away. I know that was probably last year.
- (Madison) Is this another weird music video?
- Oh, I remember this! Yeah, Gangnam Style.
- I remember when this was the most viewed YouTube video ever.
- When was this? Dang it. - It was definitely before 2012.
- (Kennedy) This could be like the new Dougie.
- "The new Dougie." Little did she know.
- (Kennedy) This could be like the new Dougie.
- They're so young here. (chuckles) This is like one of the oldest ones.
- (Rachel) Hi, guys. How was your day? - Oh, hey! My day was pretty good.
Thanks for asking. - I remember this when I lived
in the first apartment I lived in out here,
so maybe 2012. - Which would be 2012!
- It's definitely 2012 or '11.
I'm gonna mark it as the very oldest one, 2011.
- '13. 2013. That's actually--
I'm aging so fast. That's insane.
I feel like that was so recent.
- (Caden) Oh, it's the Ice Bucket Challenge.
- Oh, the Ice Bucket Challenge. Oh my gosh. I did that one once.
- (Caden) They wanna help people with ALS.
It's also known as the Lou... - Yes. He knows.
- (Emma) ...is a very good reason... - This girl is so grown now.
- There was no ice in that bucket. - (chuckles)
This is gonna be an old one, like 2013.
- (Kacey) ...next trend. Okay!
- Oh, no! She's doing it. She's doing it!
Woo! - This was a great trend.
Some of the trends today, not as good as this one.
- Oh, no! (laughs) - (Emma) Wow.
- (laughs) - "Wow." (laughs)
- "Wow." (laughs) - (Owen) Wow!
- We gotta do more trends like that one,
where it's for a good cause
instead of just for the memes every time.
- I think I got the first two right. The Gangnam Style, I don't know.
I think the Ice Bucket was after Gangnam Style.
- I'm gonna say 2015. That seems like a good icy year.
- I'm just gonna put 12 right now. It's pretty old. I'm gonna do that.
- Come on. Give me an easy one. - What is this?
- Oh my gosh. I love these. These ones are so cringy.
- Did she say "Karma's a bitch"? Did she-- wham! Na, na, na, na.
- Oh, it's just like cool outfit change TikTok trend?
- (Kennedy) Is that Busy Phillips?
- (chuckles) - (Kennedy) Yes, Queen.
- Okay. Now, he has blonde hair. - (Brandon) They [censored] killed it.
Whoa! - This has gotta be new.
- (woman) Oh, well. - (Bretman and woman) Karma's a bitch.
- Oh, wow. Dang. Girl, you is fabulous.
- Okay. That one was actually pretty cool, but you guys shot that.
- Karma's really a bitch.
When this goes on, karma's a bitch.
- (FBE) That was called the Karma is a Bitch Challenge.
Do you remember that one? - I actually don't think
I've seen this one. - Karma's a bitch.
Let's say 2017. - (gasps) Oh my god.
I know why it's [censored] '18.
Because that's when RuPaul's Drag Race
came out with Plastique in it, and she did this challenge
before she had gone to RuPaul's Drag Race,
which was 2019. And so, she did this before she went
on Drag Race. Then it had to be 2018.
And that's how you do math. PEMDAS, bitch.
- (Brian) Oh, the Mannequin Challenge. - Ohhh!
- All right. - I remember the Mannequin Challenge.
- Oh my god. I'm [censored]. I'm really [censored].
- What was the song? "Black Beatles," I think?
- All right, some context clues. - Clues.
- I don't know anything--
- Oh, I don't know sports games! - I don't know sports.
- Wow, his balance is so good.
- Ah. See, you guys always do it better.
This is way better than the other ones.
- It's so good. (laughs)
- Oh, you guys are adorable. - Okay. Can you remember
any good ones that you saw involving maybe casts or crews
of television shows or movies? - No.
- I did a thing with James Franco, where we did the Mannequin Challenge
for this show he did on the blackpills network,
where we all had to stand still. We shot that in November 2016.
I'm gonna say 2016. That's a safe bet.
And guess what? I'm doing it. And I'm not taking it back.
- I did one. I had a panel at ComplexCon,
and then everybody that watched the panel, we all did a big one.
All right. Yeah. Put it down for 2016.
- Honestly, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like I don't have
any of them right. I may have one right right now.
But I don't know, man. This is hard,
'cause I don't remember the exact year.
I'm not feeling too good about this.
- (reporter) After lying face down, expressionless...
- (laughs) Planking! - Oh, planking?
- Oh, man. Look at these sets. This is old.
- I never got this for some reason.
I was like, "What's the point of this?"
- (Benny) It's real. - (Elle) Eh.
- I remember that one. That is going back in the archives.
- I don't think I've ever seen anybody plank in real life.
I see the videos, but I've never been walking at a cross street
and then somebody just lyin' right in the middle of the road.
- It's gotta be one of the first trends maybe.
I'm gonna go with 2011. - Planking took the internet
by storm in 2012. That's what we're saying.
Maybe 2011, but we're going 2012.
- I know this came before Gangnam Style
because of The Office. In the first episode of season eight
is when they're planking, and that was in 2000...
yeah, 2011. So, I'm thinking Gangnam Style was 2012.
Just gonna switch 'em. All right! Made up my mind!
Thank you, The Office.
♪ (Bauuer, "Harlem Shake") ♪
- Oh, no! - Everyone was into that Harlem Shake.
- (gasps) Lucas was so tiny. - Yeah, I remember this one.
- (Jayka) Some odd guy is... - This was such a weird trend.
- (Krischelle) What are they doing?! - I feel like this one is 2014,
but I already got Gangnam Style there.
- This is definitely older than Gangnam Style.
- Yo, this is just so weird. What is that dance?
- (Morgan) I thought these were business people.
- (chuckles) "I thought these were bus"-- ahhh!
I know those guys. Yeah, yeah.
- Benny, giving it to me. - ♪ Then do the Harlem Shake ♪
- Wow, there's so many people there. - (Lucas) What are you guys doing?
- (Emma) Why would you do that? - Okay.
- (Emma) Oh my gosh. - They are so cute.
It makes my heart melt. Oh my god.
I really watched those kids grow up. - I remember seeing PewDiePie do this.
It's gotta be-- I think it's 2012,
'cause that's when PewDiePie first blew up.
- This could be '13. - I think it is.
- I remember for a while when that was so popular,
and you'd see all these videos popping up of it.
I feel like maybe around 2015 maybe.
- (Max) It looks like it's swollen. - Ahhh!
Kylie Jenner! What's going on?
- I was in high school when they did this one.
The kids tried to make me do this. I didn't wanna do it! (chuckles)
- (Marlhy) I heard that there was... - Man! The--
- (Marlhy) ...this lip challenge. - Using the word "challenge"
sets it later half of the decade, I feel.
- (Emma) Why do people want big lips?
- Yeah, don't do that, people.
- (Emma) I like my lips... - Yeah.
- (Emma) ...because it makes me beautiful.
- That's right, girl! You go ahead and, you know,
be yourself. - Same, girl, 'cause I--
honestly, same, 'cause these lips... zoom in.
Puckered. - Kylie Jenner and the Kardashians
and them, they were all super big at that time, so it was just a trend.
You know, fake butts, fake lips. You know, they're just trying
to be like that, and they don't understand
the bad things that can happen by doing that.
- Oh, boy. I think that could've been, yeah,
just straight up 20-- That just feels right
for 2016, you know? - Okay.
- I'm gonna say it was 2016 too. I'm slightly confident on that one.
- I'll just put lip here. Can you believe Kylie Jenner
has a whole challenge about herself? Goals.
- Show me 2020.
♪ (haunting music) ♪ Oh. Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The mop!
- This is this year. - This is it.
- Okay. Broomstick. - (Enza) ...make a broom stand up.
- That was this year! My list!
- Okay, we gotta change everything. - (Rachel) That was the day
that NASA said that the gravitational pull
to the core was so strong... - NASA got the whole world shook.
- (Dominic) It's not actually that. Basically...
- (Rachel) Okay. Sorry. - (both laugh)
- Thanks, Dad. - Uh, no. (chuckles)
- (Dominic) ...the center of equilibrium falls...
- Yeah, he knows. - (Dominic) ...the length
of the product, then the product will stand straight.
- Oh, wow. - (Rachel) There's your lesson
of the day. You are welcome. - Okay, he's a rocket scientist.
- Aight. We gotta change everything up now. Okay.
- 100% 2020. - I'm pretty confident
that was this year. 2020's going by fast,
and the Broom Challenge, that was a-- you know,
that happened recently. I'm pretty sure.
- (FBE) All right. Go ahead and make your changes now.
I'll give you 30 seconds. - (exhales) I thought I was
doing really good up until the last one, to be honest.
- Oh my god. Where's '11? Oh my god. Oh, okay.
'11 would be plank, yes. Work. - I'm gonna go with this.
I know you think we're wrong on Mannequin.
- I think you gotta- yeah, I think switch those two.
But I think that's-- I think-- okay. - Okay.
- (FBE) We're gonna score this the way we usually do,
so instead of getting one point for every correct answer,
you'll get two points for every answer you're spot on,
and one point if you're one away from the correct answer.
- Sounds good. Yay. - (FBE) We'll start with 2011.
It was planking. - Ooh! Okay, okay, okay.
We in there. We in the game. We in the game. We in the game.
- (both) Yes! - Good job.
- Okay. - (FBE) 2012 was Gangnam Style.
- That was 2012?! (buzzer)
I didn't know it was that old! - Ah! I knew it after you told me
the first one that number 12 was gonna be Gangnam Style.
- Yes! Oh, two for two. I am-- I'm winning.
- When was the Harlem Shake then? - (FBE) 2013 was the Harlem Shake.
(buzzer)
- I thought it was 2012. - (laughs loudly)
PERIOD! - Yes! Yes!
I can't believe I'm this internet. - Oh my gosh. Oh my goodness.
Okay. Okay. This is exciting. - (FBE) 2014 was
the Ice Bucket Challenge. - Let's go! I got one!
- (FBE) You got that one. - I got one! I need two more at least.
- I'm mad. I'm really mad right now, because I know for a FACT
that yes, it may have started on '14, but people were still
doing it in '15. - (FBE) 2015...
was the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge.
- Nooo! - (groans loudly)
- Yes! Thank you, Tyga! Thank you, Tyga! (claps) Let's go.
- Okay, I still get one point. Okay. Okay. That's not bad.
That's not bad, bruh. Okay.
- (FBE) 2016 was the Mannequin Challenge.
- I got one right! Finally! - (laughs) This is crazy.
ComplexCon. Yes, thank you. - See, I had those flipped.
I'm one off. That's sad. I'm sad.
- (FBE) All right. So, 2017 was the Invisible Box Challenge.
(pop) - Close. I was at 16.
- That's not good. (buzzer)
- Peri-[censored]-od. I got that [censored].
- All of mine are like a year off. (clicks tongue) Man.
- (FBE) 2018 was the Karma is a Bitch Challenge.
- AH-HAAA! - What was I doing that year?
I wasn't paying attention to the internet.
- No. Didn't get that one right. (buzzer)
(pop) - I put that at '19.
- (FBE) 2019 was the Bottle Cap Challenge.
- Yes! - Got that one.
(clicks tongue) Let's get it. - Hey, I got that one.
- (FBE) Finally, for 2020, it is the Broom Challenge.
- Is it too late to change my answers? - Yes. We did it.
♪ We did it, yeah ♪ ♪ Yeah, hicimos ♪
♪ We did it ♪ - I usually get none of these right,
so I'm very, very satisfied with this result.
- (FBE) So, you're the first person ever to get everything right
in one of these episodes.
(party horn blowing) - WHAT?! Are you serious?!
2020's been rough. This right here?
Probably the best thing I've done in all of 2020.
- (FBE) So finally, as a creator yourself,
you're often very aware of internet culture.
Why do you think various viral trends and challenges are always
so consistently a part of internet culture?
- I think it's kind of a cool way to-- it almost feels like there's a bond
with maybe people you don't know, like you're all doing
this weird thing together. - It's like rooting for a sports team.
We all love something to commonly laugh at,
something we can all point to and be like, I was a part of that.
I was a piece of this trend while it was a thing,
and I had fun doing it hopefully and didn't hurt myself
or anyone in this process.
- Trends like these bring people together.
Ew, that was a little too deep, I think.
