  • - What is this universe?

  • - God, I'm not stoned enough for this.

  • ♪ (bubbly pop music) ♪ - (laughing)

  • Why is he on a llama?

  • - Frightening.

  • Visually amazing, but frightening.

  • - And he suits being on the head of a giant llama.

  • -Yes.

  • (explosion)

  • ♪ (scrubbing) ♪

  • - Oh, this is very North Korea, isn't it?

  • - This beat is fire.

  • Oh! Oh!

  • - Oh, he was Hitler and all these other crazy guys.

  • That's great.

  • - I feel like I'm getting brainwashed. I don't even want to look at it.

  • ♪ (dreamy music) ♪

  • - This is, I think, the most bizarre video I've ever watched.

  • - What is this? - I don't know.

  • - The production budget's amazing though.

  • - What are we watching?

  • - Some girls are into anything apparently.

  • (robotic Trump powers up)

  • You know what? I would vote for him if he looked like this.

  • - This is totally the type of thing that you would see

  • in a Japanese commercial.

  • - Is Donald Trump, like, sa-- okay, I was just gonna say,

  • "Is he saving the world," and then goes and blows it up.

  • ♪ (electronic dance music) ♪

  • (energy beam warbles) - Trump!

  • Stop it!

  • - Is that-- I'm feeling like that's a pretty accurate representation

  • of what would happen if he became president.

  • - What just happened? (laughing)

  • - It's not funny because it's scary because it could be true.

  • - That was a vision of the future. - Yeah.

  • - I'm glad our tour ended before November. - Good luck, guys.

  • ♪ (dramatic chord) ♪

  • - (Finebros) So what do you think about this video?

  • - Like, IDK, bro. (laughing)

  • - I have no idea what I just watched.

  • Like, genuinely, I have no absolutely no idea what that was.

  • - That was the most beautiful and horrifying thing I've ever seen.

  • - Mainly horrifying.

  • - I want to say I liked it, but I don't know if I can

  • because it's all with Trump.

  • - If it was anything else, I would be like,

  • "Oh, these visuals are stunning," but it had a lot of Trump in there

  • and that just kind of ruined it.

  • - It was a video showing what the world's gonna be like if Trump succeeds.

  • - Yes! He destroys Earth. - World domination!

  • - (Finebros) So the video is called "Japanese Donald Trump Commercial."

  • - With a name like that, I'd expect nothing less than that video.

  • - (Finebros) And it was made by the American YouTuber Mike Diva.

  • - American YouTuber. Okay.

  • Good, so it's not real!

  • - (Finebros) Do you know Mike Diva's work? - No.

  • - No!

  • - Yes.

  • - From what I know, he does special effects,

  • he's really good at editing.

  • - I think that's what so awesome about creators like himself.

  • He can visually just spew what's on his brain onto the screen.

  • - I've done a video with Mike Diva before.

  • He's crazy.

  • If you gotta talk about Mike Diva, you've gotta talk about Sexy Sax Man.

  • Sexy Sax Man, it's just the most incredible video

  • that exists on the Internet.

  • - (Finebros) So Mike Diva is known for making

  • lots of great videos on YouTube.

  • Why do you think he decided to make this video?

  • - Probably because Trump's a bit of a muppet, isn't he?

  • - He's taking a shit on Trump's face. - (laughs)

  • - I'm guessing he wants to leverage all of the, you know,

  • the elections that are happening right now.

  • - Because Donald Trump is a spicy meme right now on the Internet.

  • - Yeah, it's a hot topic.

  • - Combining a relevant topic with a funny Japanese thing

  • is just a guaranteed viral smash, isn't it?

  • - Definitely.

  • - (Finebros) What kind of mind do you think he has to have

  • to even dream up the visuals that you see in this thing?

  • - Not a sober one.

  • - A genius by the name of Mike Diva, apparently.

  • - You have to be Mike Diva.

  • He's done a lot of weird stuff, hasn't he?

  • - I don't know. It's Mike Diva, isn't it?

  • I mean, he does some incredible videos.

  • I'm a big fan of his videos.

  • - (Finebros) There's over 25,000 comments on this video,

  • and a lot of people think it was a real Donald Trump commercial,

  • so they're angry about it. - What?!

  • - Are you serious? That's how good he is!

  • - That doesn't surprise me.

  • We need to all remind ourselves of what YouTube comments are like.

  • - That doesn't surprise me.

  • The Internet is just full of just gullible people.

  • - They obviously just don't know Mike then,

  • and his work.

  • That's literally what it is.

  • Like, some YouTubers that will make something as a parody

  • and it will go beyond their audience and it will go viral.

  • - (Finebros) Why do you think, from watching this,

  • that people would actually think this was a real Japanese commercial?

  • - 'Cause it doesn't really have a message.

  • It doesn't say it is sponsored by Trump, it's not sponsored by Trump,

  • so it leaves you with a big question mark.

  • - Japanese commercials are just kind of crazy to begin with

  • and this is believable.

  • - Having been to Japan, the awesome, strange commercials out there,

  • and game shows, so maybe combining those aesthetics

  • could create something like that.

  • - The production quality, I'm not quite sure.

  • I mean, it obviously seems like a parody,

  • but Donald Trump was on the head of, what, a giraffe?

  • Like, there's no way he'd approve of that!

  • - (Finebros) Mike has said that the comments seem to be split

  • with 50% thinking he is anti-Trump and 50% thinking he's pro-Trump.

  • What do you think?

  • - What does it matter? That video looked great.

  • That's all that [bleep] matters.

  • - I'm gonna go with anti.

  • - It seems very anti.

  • I saw a swastika in there.

  • - I would imagine that he's anti-Trump.

  • The fact that he's got several fascist regimes in there.

  • - The end, Trump destroys the world.

  • So clearly he can't be pro, can he?

  • - I think it's pretty anti-- who would think--?

  • He shot the Earth and destroyed it.

  • - I think he's just making a funny video from it.

  • I don't think there's really-- I don't think he's picking sides of anyone.

  • - It didn't really say whether it was supporting him or not.

  • I kind of like that he just did it from a, "I'm just gonna make this stupid thing

  • without thinking about it so much."

  • And it's like, should he have had an opinion?

  • - Yeah. - I don't know.

  • But it was just a beautiful, contextless piece of art.

  • - (Finebros) So not being from the US, what is your perception of Trump?

  • - Um, I try and keep away from the political side of things.

  • - At first, it was like, "Oh, this is just a joke."

  • And then it's gotten to the point where's like

  • this cannot be real.

  • - It was really funny when it started. Like, "(dismissive laugh) Donald!"

  • - That's not gonna happen! - "Oh my god, this guy's so funny."

  • And now it's like, "Oh shit."

  • - Everyone seems quite scared and concerned about what the future holds.

  • - But then, you know, the UK, let's not talk about it.

  • Everything's fine. - Yeah.

  • - You know, it's just good.

  • - If we can leave Europe, then there's definitely a strong chance

  • that he could become president, so that's quite scary.

  • - We're going through a similar thing in the UK right now.

  • Nobody thought that we would leave the EU because it was so absurd.

  • "Oh, no one's gonna actually vote for it."

  • But it happened.

  • So I think it's entirely possible that Trump could be president.

  • I really do.

  • - (Finebros) Do you ever dive into politics with any of your content

  • or do you stay away from politics?

  • - Um, I poke fun in politics but I poke fun in all directions.

  • I don't single out a one crowd, or I don't favor another.

  • - I stay neutral, man. You've gotta stay out of that.

  • - I don't really know how I'd shoehorn politics

  • into my favorite mascara or lipstick!

  • - Not really. I think I stick to food and fitness

  • and as a result, yeah, I don't really talk about it.

  • - I always stayed away from political things

  • because people, even if it's a comedy sketch,

  • people will go crazy.

  • - I don't wanna offend someone that has a different opinion to me

  • 'cause it's not my deal.

  • In a way, it's kind of arrogant to assume

  • that just because I have an audience, I have an authority

  • or a right to tell people, or try and influence people,

  • in what to do.

  • - Even with the Obama interview, I almost didn't want to do it

  • because it was-- obviously, a major portion of me wanted to,

  • but it was like: I have subscribers that don't necessarily like Obama,

  • so I usually don't touch politics.

  • I try to keep it to where it's a 50-50 split.

  • Like, you don't know if I'm in favor.

  • If I'm just interviewing you, am I silently endorsing you...

  • or am I not?

  • - In the sense of we need to be more active in our government,

  • and active in the decisions that are being made,

  • especially with what's going on in the world, heck yes,

  • that's what I'm trying to promote.

  • People can make a difference and I don't think they realize

  • how much their voices can be heard if they were all to be unified.

  • - (Finebros) And, finally, would you say there's ever been

  • a politician to go as viral as Donald Trump?

  • - Never. No, never.

  • - Bush maybe came close, you know, with all the pundits

  • talking about the way that Bush-- the way that they talked about Bush.

  • - Everyone loved Obama. That was different kind of viral.

  • - Yeah, 2008 Obama went super viral, didn't he?

  • Loads of people, Obama was in so many memes,

  • like him flying around with a skateboard.

  • He was just such a cool dude.

  • - When he caught that fly.

  • - Boris Johnson is actually hilarious.

  • He is one of the funniest people in British politics,

  • but you might not necessarily want him to be the next Prime Minister.

  • - No, and that's sad.

  • It goes to show it's like a viral sensation is gonna

  • possibly be a president. That's frightening!

  • - I think this is the most-- because when he first came out,

  • he was like, "I'm gonna run for president."

  • Everyone was like, "(snorts) Yeah. All right. This is funny.

  • (sarcastically) Trump 2016, right?"

  • And now it's like, "Oh, god. No, no, no. Trump 2016. No."

  • - Thank you so much for watching this episode of YouTubers React.

  • - Listen guys, I don't know if that whole Trump

  • exploding the world thing is gonna happen or not,

  • but you should probably subscribe before it does.

  • - See ya later, guys. Remember: stay hungry, my friends.
