- He is so comfortable right there, man.
He's living his best life. - AskReddit! Oh, I love AskReddit!
♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we wanted to put your Reddit knowledge to the test.
- Oh, well, I fail. - I love Reddit. That's my Google.
- I'm a Reddit frequenter. I go on there a couple times a day.
- (FBE) We'll be showing you Reddit posts from the top 10
most subscribed subreddits of all time.
And we're gonna see if you can correctly place them in order
starting from the most subscribed to the least subscribed.
- Oh, shoot. This is gonna be real hard actually.
Subreddits are categories of things that people really like
and wanna follow, and they're super random
from dads happy crying to way more popular ones.
- (FBE) We won't count the subreddit r/announcements,
since you are automatically subscribed to that
when you create an account. - Right, right. Yeah, I'm excited.
I feel like I might do okay. - There's just so many
different people on Reddit that it's hard.
And there's crazy stuff on there. - (anchor) The sharing
of biased and... - (anchors) false news...
- Okay, subreddit is r/videos. And it says, "This is what happens
when one company owns dozens of local news stations."
- (anchors) False news has become all too common
on social media. - See, this is one I saw.
- Fake news! Fake news! - (anchors) ...simply aren't true
without checking facts first. Unfortunately, some...
- I'm so overwhelmed. - (anchors) ...push their own
personal bias... - This is terrifying.
- This is wild. - (anchors) ...dangerous
to our democracy. - I feel like I'm gonna hear
a hidden message behind there. - I felt like my brain
was gonna explode. Jeez. - It almost just seems
like this one company sent out a script to all of the new stations
that they own and were just like, "Here, shoot this story!"
- (FBE) This video comes from r/videos.
They describe themselves as the best place
for video content of all kinds. - Okay. I definitely need
to check that out, 'cause I didn't even know that was a subreddit.
- A lot of good stuff on there. - (FBE) So, where do you think
this subreddit ranks in the top 10 most subscribed subreddits.
- Honestly, I'm gonna put it at two. - I think I'm gonna put it at two.
- Probably nine. - Three, because people like videos.
- Number three to put it safe. You know, my first ever
actual exposure to Reddit was my friends texting me,
telling me I was on the front page, because I freaked out
like a little bitch when I'm playing Oculus
for the first time. Oh my god! Oh my god!
(ghost screeches) (Labib screams)
And that was on the front page of Reddit.
- Heat index was 110 degrees, so we offered him a cold drink.
He went for a full body soak instead. - Oh! I am subscribed
to this subreddit. - Oh my god.
- Aww! Awwww! - Awww.
- He is so comfortable right there, man.
He's living his best life. - That was the sweetest thing ever!
- (FBE) So, this comes from r/aww, where you find things that make you
go "Aww" like puppies, bunnies, babies, and so on.
- This is the feel good side of Reddit, 'cause there's definitely
the... other side of Reddit too - The internet's super dark
and very opinionated and it's nice to have the little "Awww,
it's a cute little baby." We're gonna put it at number three!
- I say it's probably five. - I'm putting them as number one,
because I love them. - Probably wrong, but I'm gonna
go with number six. - "I got off the horse by accident
right before a cutscene in Red Dead." - This is r/gaming, and of course,
this is a Red Dead scene.
- Uh-oh. Oh, god. Now, he's just gonna have
to run the whole-- (laughs) - (laughs)
- (laughs and claps) - Man, he got cardio for DAYS,
just plowing through the snow. - That's me playing video games.
- He's the one loser without a horse. - Red Dead is good, though,
because I thought it would've just done the default
"He's supposed to be on the horse," but no,
they went, "You jumped off the horse. You're gonna stay off the horse."
- (FBE) r/gaming describes themselves as a subreddit for almost anything
related to games, video games, board games, card games, etc.,
but not sports. - Ha!
- (FBE) Yeah. - (chuckles) 'Cause the internet
is no place-- we're here for nerds. Three.
- I'm gonna say this is a two. Anything with gaming, man,
I think it's gonna be high. - That's probably number one.
- I'm gonna put them at seven, because I feel like Reddit
has a massive sort of gaming audience. But again, not everybody
goes on Reddit for gaming. - r/worldnews.
- "Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump"-- (gags)
- "Was shown highly classified intelligence indicating
that President Vladimir Putin..." - "Had personally ordered complex
cyber attacks to sway the 2016 American election,"
and it's linked to the New York Times. Huh. I wouldn't think to go
to Reddit for my news. - (FBE) So, this comes from
the subreddit r/worldnews, a place for major news
from around the world, excluding US internal news.
- So, they're not gonna post things that are happening in Alabama.
- Young people are gonna go to more social media to get their news,
'cause they're gonna be-- they're not watching TV no more.
- I would wager this isn't as high as, like, gaming.
I'm gonna give it number five. - Number eight, because I think
a lot of people for world news use Twitter.
- Nobody wants to talk about serious stuff on Reddit.
Number eight. - This is gonna be higher up
on the list. On YouTube, people like
more heartwarming content, more distracting content,
but on Reddit, you wanna read about things that are
important to you. Let's go with four.
- r/funny, classic. - "My cab driver tonight
was so excited to share with me that he'd made the cover
of the calendar." - That is so cute.
I kind of feel like it should be in aww.
- That's cool. Look at him. He's so proud. He's like, "That's me!"
- (FBE) This comes from r/funny. They describe themselves
as Reddit's largest humor depository. - I feel like it's
pretty heartwarming. Four. funny, aww, and gaming are solid,
what you wanna see on Reddit. - This is probably ranked high,
but I'm gonna give it an eight. - It might be number one,
but I don't wanna give it the slot, 'cause I don't know
what else there is, so I'm gonna make it number four.
- funny at one. - Just the word funny itself
is just such a broad term that I'm sure everything
gets posted there, making me think that this is probably
one of the larger subreddits. So, I think I'm gonna go r/funny
at number one. - This is r/movies.
Love this subreddit. "The Senate. Upvote this
so that people see it when they Google 'The Senate.'"
(chuckles) - He is the Senate. (chuckles)
Star Wars. Emperor Palpatine. - This is not what I would've
expected from r/movies, so this is interesting.
- (FBE) This is from r/movies, where subscribers share news
and discuss major motion pictures. - Oh, nice. Okay.
I am subscribed to the movies, so... But I feel like that's lower.
Let's do eight. - Number five, r/movies.
- I'm gonna go with eight. - I'm a movie guy, so,
you know, I might even have-- I might have to get on it.
I'll put it down at 10. - I'm gonna say number eight.
- This doesn't really surprise me, but I can't put my finger
on where it'd be ranked, because a lot of people--
everyone in general loves movies. I'm gonna put it at eight.
- I'm gonna put this at number six. r/movies is probably more
for film buffs, 'cause I'd feel really intimidated if I went in there
and was like, "Avengers is my favorite movie!"
and they'd be like, "What?! You haven't seen Citizen Kane?!"
- todayilearned. I love this subreddit.
- "Today I learned after Colonel Shaw died in battle,
Confederates buried him in a mass grave as an insult
for leading black soldiers." - "Union troops tried
to recover his body, but his father sent a letter saying, 'We would not
have his body removed from where it lies surrounded by his brave
and devoted soldiers." Wowww. I didn't know that.
- That's the most badass thing I've heard in a long [bleep] time.
- I really like the concept of todayilearned.
You can just get a little spritz every day of knowledge.
I feel like a lot of people are like that. They enjoy it.
- (FBE) The r/todayilearned subreddit description states,
"You learn something new every day. Submit interesting and specific facts
about something that you just found out."
- Yeah, I really like this one. You do learn something every day.
- It's probably the bottom, but I'll put it at seven.
- I'm gonna say eight. I think it's interesting,
but I'm sure other people are like, "Uh, lame."
- I'm gonna put it at number seven. That's a good one to just be like,
"I'm gonna check this today, so I learned something today."
- Ah, science. I'm subscribed to that one. I like it.
"Physicist Stephen Hawking dies aged 76." I know.
"We regret to hear that Stephen Hawking died tonight
at age 76. We are creating a megathread for discussion
of this topic here." Oh, that's cool.
- So, they're making kinda like an obituary/homage/...
almost in a way of tributing to him, because I don't think
there's any better way of tributing to him
than having an open scientific discussion.
- (FBE) The subreddit r/science describes itself as a place
to share and discuss new scientific research.
- Now, a lot of people are into science, man,
like climate control, global warming, all that stuff,
so I'm gonna give it a six. - I'm gonna put it at number 10.
- I put it at 10. - With r/science, I think
that's when it starts to get into, like, it's for the people who care.
So, I'm gonna put r/science at 10. - As much as I love science,
I would never go to Reddit to look for some scientific stuff.
I'm gonna go with nine. - pics. Okay, r/pics.
- "Private Internet Access, a VPN provider, takes out
a full page ad in The New York Times calling out 50 senators."
- "Hello world. These are the 50 senators who voted
to monitor your internet activity for financial gain."
This is a good one, because we all already know that we're being
watched and monitored. - We calling them all out!
You know what you all did! - (FBE) The subreddit
for r/pics is a place for pictures. - Yeah, it's kinda cool,
because it's still informative, but it's random.
You never know what you're gonna get when you open r/pics.
I'm gonna put it at seven. - It's one of those broad names
that anything, any sort of photo can be posted there.
I'm gonna put r/pics at five. - I'm gonna r/pics at number one.
When I think of Reddit, I think of certain screenshots
and images, so I feel like this would be the most popular one.
- I'm not gonna put it as number one, so I'll put it as number 10.
Okay, and then-- ugh. God. The last one's gonna suck,
isn't it? - (FBE) Let's see what you think
of this last one.
- AskReddit! Oh, I love AskReddit!
- "People who haven't pooped in 2019 yet, why are you still
holding on to last year's [bleep]?" [Bleep]. True.
- Out of all the New Year's jokes I've heard, I've never heard
of this one, and this is fantastic. - (FBE) r/AskReddit is a place
to ask and answer thought-provoking questions.
- That's thought provoking? I'll just put that at six,
'cause that's all I have left. - I posted on AskReddit. It's great!
Number one. - Well, I have to make it number one,
but I don't feel like that's number one.
- It's definitely not nine, but that's the last spot I have.
I'm sure a lot of people have asked questions here
and then headed over to r/todayilearned and posted that.
- (FBE) Now that you've watched through all these, we're gonna
give you a chance to make changes. Let us know when you're locked.
Remember you get one point if you're one off,
and you get two points if you're right on the money.
- Okay. - ♪ Doo doo doo doo ♪
- videos is one, because internet has gone video.
- I did what I did. I'm gonna leave it.
- (FBE) All right, so here's the actual order
going from number 10 to number one. Important to note that
subscriber count may have changed by the time we upload this episode.
With over 21 million subscribers, number 10 is r/videos.
(buzzer) - Oh, wow! I put that as four.
- Wow. I literally couldn't have been more wrong.
- 21 million is number 10?! It's a goddamn country in that bitch.
(buzzer) - [Bleep]! (laughs)
I put it as number ONE!
- (FBE) With over 21,400,000 subscribers,
number nine is r/movies. - Oh. Oh, I put movies at six.
- Really? I feel like Reddit would be the place where all the movie buffs
would be, like, "Let's discuss." - I put it as eight, so I get a point.
- Hooo! I put that as number nine, guys!
- (FBE) With over 21 million subscribers,
number eight is r/todayilearned. - Mm, I had it at seven.
(buzzer) - Dammit! What the hell?!
I put that at number two. I thought people really
liked that one. I like that one!
- I got number eight. - Yes! Got that one right on.
- (FBE) With over 21 million subscribers,
number seven is r/aww. - Goddamn, you guys!
Goddamn you! - Dude, that was number four for me.
(buzzer) - What?!
People are cold on Reddit, man. - I put aww at seven!
- I put r/aww at number eight, so that's a point, right?
Hell yeah! - (FBE) With over
22 million subscribers, number six is r/worldnews.
- Aww. People care more about the news than I thought.
- Dammit. I was kind of close. I put it at number four.
To me, it still shows that people like to seek out what's current
on Reddit. - Oh, I was close.
I put it at seven. - Oh, I put that at six! Okay.
- (FBE) With over 22 million subscribers,
number five is r/science. (buzzer)
- Wow! I would not think that. - science. I had that at six.
- Damn. I had science lower. People are really learning out here.
- That's really interesting to me that it's more than worldnews
and videos, because I assume the internet is such a place
for videos and-- I don't know. Maybe I'm underestimating
Reddit users. - (FBE) With over 22 million
subscribers, number four is r/pics.
(ding) - Yo! On the [bleep]--
on the dot. - Mm! I got that one.
Wow. I guess you're bound to get one right eventually.
- Dammit. That was my number one. I shouldn't have done that.
- (FBE) With over 23 million subscribers,
number three is r/gaming. - Dammit! I'm close, though.
- I had it at two, so not bad. - Three was gaming?
I had gaming at number one. - It should've been one.
Come on, gamers. - Oh, no! I had it at number one.
(ding) - I got it! Yes!
- (FBE) With over 24 million subscribers,
number two is r/AskReddit. - AskReddit? I had that at 10.
- I should've moved AskReddit! Dammit!
- I put that as number seven, but now that you think about it,
Reddit's in the title. I mean, they have an advantage.
- Oh, I put that at three. Mm-hmm. That's one point.
(ding) - Yes! Right on it.
- (FBE) And finally, the most subscribed subreddit
of all time with over 26 million subscribers
is r/funny. - The funny thing was number one?
People like stupid stuff. - Oh, I got that! Okay.
See, that makes sense to me. - Wow. People are more basic
than I thought. That was a journey. - I think I only got one on the dot,
but everything else was kinda like, you know, getting around there.
I hope I made my fellow Redditors proud.
- (FBE) After seeing this list, is there a subreddit that you think
belongs on this list? - r/brockhampton.
I signed up for Reddit mostly just so I could follow r/brockhampton,
and I've really enjoyed it so far and I just love the fan base
that I'm a part of. - Scary, haunted stories.
I feel like everyone looks up scary stuff.
I mean, I do all the time. I'd be like, "You wanna see
some leprechauns?" - powerwashingporn. (laughs)
Very therapeutic. You had a rough day.
Don't worry. You got three hours of that. You can watch it.
It's really great. I really love Reddit.
It's one of the only medias that I feel drown out the negatives
and really put up the positives,
and I really encourage people to use Reddit.
