  • This episode: HowToBasic!

  • - "How to cook an egg in Australia."

  • - Don't you just put in on a frying pan, and then you're done?

  • ♪ (didgeridoo music) ♪

  • - Oh, are they frying an egg on the ground?

  • (eggs pelting in rapid succession)

  • - (giggles)

  • (man retches)

  • - Oh, this is HowToBasic, isn't it?

  • - Oh, this is HowToBasic.

  • (man snorts, grunts)

  • - Ew!

  • (man growls)

  • - People in Australia like Vegemite, so...

  • - Was that HowToBasic?

  • I don't really watch him, but I know who he is.

  • - I'm already beautiful. Why do I need this?

  • ♪ (acoustic guitar music) ♪

  • - I love how it always starts out like it's an actual tutorial.

  • - I bet this is gonna be funny.

  • - Good job so far.

  • - Oh no.

  • (man growling)

  • - (giggles)

  • (splattering) - Oh my god.

  • - What are they doing to him?

  • (man gasping erratically) - I feel so bad for him.

  • - That is not how to be beautiful.

  • ♪ (cheery pop music) ♪ - So beautiful.

  • - He's hideous.

  • That's not beautiful at all.

  • - That's just weird.

  • (high-pitched) Whaaat?

  • - What is that? Like, clam chowder?

  • - Okay. I haven't seen this one.

  • ♪ (suspenseful music) ♪

  • - Ew. Ew.

  • (whoosh) - Whaat?

  • - Ooh.

  • - Cat wants to eat the fish.

  • - Oh. Oh no.

  • (glass shattering) - Oh god!

  • (violent whacking)

  • - That was, like, the best magic trick I've ever seen.

  • - Starts out good, but then it goes downhill.

  • - The eggs again.

  • - More eggs.

  • ♪ (suspenseful music) ♪

  • - That is the way to how to rage-quit.

  • ♪ (suspenseful music plays, stops) ♪ - (man) Eh!

  • - That's the magic I want to see. Mm.

  • - Why does he do this to his house?

  • - "How to do homework." Oh no.

  • (man gasping in agitation)

  • (man growls fiercely)

  • (engine starts, revs)

  • - I wish I could do that to my homework.

  • (man growling ferociously)

  • - The noises he makes are so... creepy.

  • - How I feel about homework and video.

  • - I'm pretty sure you're gonna get an A for that.

  • - Oh, you blend it.

  • (blender grinds) - I don't think that's gonna make

  • a very good smoothie, but you know.

  • - That looks kinda good.

  • - Scary thing is it doesn't even look that bad.

  • - Bon appetit.

  • - (loud whisper) Don't eat it.

  • (chewing followed by immediate retching)

  • (plate shatters)

  • (man growls) - (laughs)

  • ♪ (Vangelis, "Chariots of Fire") ♪ - Creepy.

  • - Disturbing.

  • (smack)

  • - That was so weird.

  • - Are these videos all by the same person?

  • - (children) Question time!

  • - (Finebros) So would you say you liked the videos we showed you?

  • - I hated them.

  • - No.

  • They're weird.

  • - No!

  • But I couldn't take my eyes off it.

  • - Yes.

  • - Yeah, of course.

  • - Yes.

  • They're funny.

  • - Ding-ding-ding! Yep!

  • "How to be beautiful."

  • (yelling erratically, pretending to break stuff)

  • - I was trying to type in "How to make rainbow bracelets."

  • And then HowToBasic came up. And I was like, "What's that?"

  • I just pressed it, and then I started laughing.

  • I started cracking up.

  • - (Finebros) Well, these videos were all from a YouTube channel

  • out of Australia called HowToBasic

  • that makes how-to videos. - I didn't know he was in Australia.

  • - (Finebros) Is he really teaching you how to do things

  • in the videos? - No. Not at all.

  • - He's teaching people how to do the thing the wrong way.

  • - Yeah.

  • It is my book.

  • - Yes. If you're homework is to destroy your homework,

  • then you were doing it perfectly.

  • - At the beginning part.

  • And then it just turns.

  • - (Finebros) So before each video we showed you,

  • there was a picture and title,

  • which were the pictures and titles that the channel uses

  • when he uploads his videos to YouTube.

  • - That would be really frustrating, but it would be really funny.

  • - (Finebros) When you saw those pictures and titles,

  • what were you expecting the video to be like?

  • - Nice.

  • Not destroying things.

  • - They put a picture of something that they're not doing.

  • I thought he would actually bake an egg in Australia.

  • - I think they want to do that so it's even more funny

  • when you switch into crazy mode,

  • 'cause it's just like normal then crazy.

  • - Well, I knew, because I knew it was HowToBasic.

  • But other people,

  • that's probably how most people come across him:

  • just looking for tutorials on everything.

  • "How to do homework." I'm sure that's clickbait.

  • - (Finebros) Do you think it's wrong

  • that they might be misleading people to click on their videos

  • by making titles and thumbnails

  • not what the video's actually about?

  • - Yeah, they should do how it's normally done.

  • - It's not wrong.

  • - No, I think it's fine.

  • - It's not something completely different. It's still funny.

  • And if you're studying for a test

  • and you need to know how to do homework or something like that,

  • this will just crack you up and make your day.

  • - If somebody's actually looking for a how-to video

  • and they come across this, they're gonna be like,

  • "Well, I wanted to see how to do it, not how to smash it."

  • - (Finebros) So as of now,

  • HowToBasic has over 7 and a half million subscribers.

  • - Some people like weird things.

  • I mean, I like weird things, but I'm not into that.

  • - (Finebros) It's Australia's most popular YouTube channel,

  • and it has over 1 billion views. - Oh my goodness.

  • - That's crazy.

  • It's the same thing over and over again.

  • - (Finebros) Why do you think a channel like this

  • would be so popular?

  • - Because a lot of people like it and think it's funny.

  • - People like

  • stuff that doesn't make sense.

  • - People like crazy things.

  • People like watching somebody do something unexpected.

  • - It's random and funny.

  • And of course you'd want to see eggs getting thrown at an oven.

  • There's no why. Just eggs.

  • - (Finebros) What would your parents say

  • if you made as big a mess like they make on this channel?

  • - I don't know. I would never do that in the first place.

  • - They'd be like, "You're grounded!"

  • - "Clean that up right now!"

  • - They'd be like, "What was the meaning of this?"

  • I'm like, "Just cooking eggs."

  • - I'm pretty sure all parents would be mad no matter what

  • if you destroy something that they bought with their kachang.

  • - They would kill me.

  • It would be the equivalent if I took everything in my fridge

  • and just completely destroyed it.

  • And that's what he does every single day for a living.

  • - (Finebros) Something in most of these videos

  • are the breaking of eggs, and the creator has said

  • that he loves eggs so much

  • that they are like the oxygen he breathes.

  • - I don't think it's safe to breathe in eggs.

  • - That's gross and disgusting.

  • I would not like to breathe yolk.

  • - (Finebros) Why do you think he's so obsessed with eggs?

  • - He breathes eggs. I mean, he's an egg man.

  • - Maybe he likes the sound of the eggs cracking,

  • and maybe it soothes him.

  • - If you throw it, then it just bursts.

  • - It makes a big mess. And for that channel, that's good.

  • - (Finebros) Finally, we did this with the elders

  • when we covered HowToBasic.

  • So it's only right that we do it with you guys as well.

  • - An egg!

  • - No! No! No, my beautiful hair!

  • - (Finebros) What do you want to do with that egg?

  • - I want to keep it

  • and call it my pet.

  • - Smash it.

  • - I want to throw it at something.

  • - I really want to throw it as hard as I can against the table.

  • - It's hard-boiled!

  • - Oh, it's hard-boiled.

  • I see what you did there.

  • - You're not gonna stop me, 'cause if I do it, I'm doing it.

  • I want to throw this at you guys right now!

  • - I saw the elders. It's hard-boiled.

  • I know! I saw the elders.

  • I'm still gonna smash it.

  • I hate eggs!

  • No offense, HowToBasic.
