Top 10 YouTube FineBros React Videos - TopX Ep.47

#10: Celebrities React to Viral Videos

-Celebrities, like many people, aren't immune to the charms of the viral video. If you need proof of that, then have we got the video for you.
-This 2014 video stars celebrities from various mediums, as they watch six... unique YouTube videos, from amateur music videos to off-beat commercials. The celebrities view each viral video in full, and are then questioned on how they felt. This video's effectiveness comes from both the weirdness of some of the viral videos, and the perpetual confusing-yet-entertaining tone throughout.
-Plus, there's something fun about big-name stars taking the time to enjoy some quirky Internet videos, much like the rest of us. Whatever the case, it's a swell time for all.

#9: Kids React To Harlem Shake

-We can't claim to fully understand the Harlem Shake, so reacting to it is a bit difficult. Fortunately, we have children to react on our behalf.
-As part of the “Kids React” series, this focuses on the Harlem Shake meme, a trend of videos where people abruptly start dancing to the song “Harlem Shake”. This reaction video has a group of children watching said videos... with the audience witnessing their rapid shift in emotions, from amusement to confusion to mild horror in certain cases. And yet, given the bizarre subject matter, the kids' varied responses are as sensible as they are funny.
-At over 30 million views, this is the most popular of the “Kids React” episodes – and for good reason.

#8: Teens React to Slender Man

-Slender Man terrifies me, just as he terrifies countless people the world over. So a video finding the humour, and the scares, inherent to him? Sounds good.
- “Teens React to Slender Man” gives several teenagers one task: play through the free first-person horror game “Slender: The Eight Pages”. Watching each teen begin to crack under the suspense is quite entertaining, especially with the knowledge that not many of them are familiar with the game. The reactions, too, are interesting; some of the teens are just plain freaked-out while others are amused yet tense.
-Whether you're a fan of horror games or just enjoy fear-based reactions, this fits the bill. Just... keep Slender Man far, far away.

#7: Elders React to Grand Theft Auto V

-While it's certainly fun to watch Elders Play Grand Theft Auto V, it's the more straight-forward reaction video that catches our eyes.
-Here, the Fine Brothers assemble a group of elderly people and show them a series of trailers pertaining to Rockstar Games' 2013 open-world game “Grand Theft Auto V”. Contrary to what one may expect, this group provides a wide range of commentary that is equal parts amusing, enthusiastic, and quite intrigued. While there's some funny quips here and there, the video's surprisingly more focused on delivering a balanced series of perspectives about the game.
-Rockstar's creations may not be for everyone, but thoughtful videos like this are easy to recommend.

#6: YouTubers React to Japanese Commercials (Ep #9)

-Weird commercials exist everywhere – why not take advantage of that and give us some honest-to-goodness fun reactions to them?
-Japanese commercials take center stage here, as a lineup of notable YouTube celebrities are shown ads for sushi, pasta, and more. It's enjoyable enough bearing witness to the sheer insanity of some of these commercials, but the combination of bewilderment and joy the YouTubers display really seals the deal. It's clear that, even if they don't grasp what's happening, everyone involved is having too good a time to care.
-Whether you're coming for the commercials, the YouTube stars, or both, we feel you won't be disappointed. Confused, maybe, but not disappointed.

#5: YouTubers React to Try to Watch This Without Laughing or Grinning

-Speaking of YouTube stars, here's a challenge that's tough for them but pure entertainment for viewers.
-As part of YouTube's Comedy Week in May 2013, the Fine Brothers brought together web celebrities new and old to take part in one simple activity: attempting to watch increasingly absurd videos without breaking out in a smile or laughing. As expected, most of the YouTubers eventually crack – though it varies from person to person, with hilarious results. And the videos themselves need to be seen to be believed; when it starts off with an air-humping Stormtrooper, you know it's not going to be boring.
-Sometimes fun is enough, and I have to say, this is quite the epitome of fun.

#4: Kids React to Gay Marriage

-Wherever you may stand on the matter of gay marriage, there's something refreshing about getting the perspective of young minds. Thus we have this fascinating video.
- “Kids React to Gay Marriage” is as straight-forward as it sounds; a group of children watched two proposal videos published in the summer of 2013, and were asked how these videos made them feel. The reactions of the kids is pivotal here, both because of the range of opinions on display and the general trend they display. Each kid has a slightly different take on the matter, and the general feeling of support and optimism apparent throughout is infectious.
-We certainly don't mind kids speaking about big issues, and here it's definitely worth a look.

#3: Teens React To Gangnam Style

-When it comes to unexpected pop phenomenons, nothing quite beats South Korean musician Psy's hit song “Gangnam Style”. So naturally, there's need of a reaction video.
-And the Fine Brothers deliver, by putting teenagers in front of the song's music video and hitting Play. Once the initial confusion passes, it's straight into acceptance as the teens begin to enjoy the video's energy and... fascinating imagery. When it comes to Question Time, the range of emotions – from befuddlement to sincere affection – feels appropriate.
-There may not be a time when we completely understand “Gangnam Style”, but it's at least entertaining to watch people try and figure it out.

#2: Teens React to Bullying (Amanda Todd)

-The world can be a brutal place, and sometimes addressing it directly is the best course of action. So it is with the grim, and all-too-familiar story of Amanda Todd
-This episode of “Teens React” has teenagers viewing Todd's tragic video log describing the events leading to her depression, self-harm and social isolation. If the concept wasn't enough to bring you to tears, then the sight of young people expressing shock or tearing up will. It gets worse once the teens are made aware of Todd's subsequent suicide, driving home a sense of loss and pain that cannot be adequately quantified.
-Despite how difficult it may be to watch, this is a video worth remembering.

Before we get to the #1 FineBros React Video, here are a few honorable mentions:

Elders React To Dubstep (Skrillex)

Teens React to 90s Fashion

Elders React to Rihanna and Kanye West and Paul McCartney

Kids React to VCR/VHS

#1: Elders React to Nicki Minaj – Anaconda

-Teenagers reacting to the works of Nicki Minaj is funny enough, but we find it's reactions by older men and women that most delivers.
-Here the Fine Brothers called upon some elders to voice their opinions of the music video for Nicki Minaj's song “Anaconda”. At first the draw is how the music video's distinctive qualities – from Minaj's skimpy outfits, to the suggestive lyrics – gives this elderly audience pause. But as the reaction video progresses, it becomes more about the critique of Minaj's video, with comments both positive and negative.
-We feel that this best encapsulates the Fine Bros' videos: amusing snipets of popular culture, examined and commented upon by a varied audience. And it's entertaining to boot.

That's our list, but we're sure there are other amazing reaction videos by the Fine Brothers – so tell us about them in the comments below. Be sure to check us out on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and for more top 10s published every day, be sure to subscribe to Watchmojo.com
