  • Everyone's dressing like that now.

  • - Fashion was so cool in the '90s, too.

  • No one gave a [bleep]. We're just having a bunch

  • of colors and lines, and it was just fun.

  • - Oh, what a good feeling! I feel like I'm five again.

  • - Man, he got all the old school dances.

  • - Ah, that is so '90s.

  • "Dedicated to..." Ohh!

  • - "In Living Color"!

  • - Aww, that was nice of him. That was nice.

  • - It just brought me right back to the '90s.

  • - I would watch that show religiously.

  • Religiously. - It was my favorite freaking show.

  • - I liked that! I'm surprised that I liked it,

  • but I really liked it. - Cardi B, man.

  • Three songs in the top 10 right now.

  • - (FBE) So that was a new music video from Bruno Mars

  • called "Finesse" featuring Cardi B. - Yes!

  • - Oh, Cardi B! Girl!

  • - Bruno Mars and Cardi B, ohh, that's a power house.

  • - We have another video to show you in a second,

  • but what did you think about seeing these two artists

  • collab together? - That was awesome.

  • Honestly, their chemistry was really good.

  • - I don't think Cardi should be a feature

  • on anybody's album. Her music is not good.

  • - Bruno Mars, I get it. He does funky music.

  • He does '90s. You know, he's cool with that.

  • I never expected for him to do a rap song with Cardi B.

  • - You got those solid vocals from Bruno for the chorus,

  • and then you have Cardi B coming in with the sweet lines.

  • - It worked. I mean, it really worked.

  • The whole thing, her even dancing out there,

  • and showing some moves, it really worked.

  • - (FBE) So the music video pays homage to a popular

  • '90s sketch comedy show that they dedicated

  • the video to at the end. - Uh-huh, "In Living Color."

  • - "In Living Color." Love that show.

  • Jim Carrey, Tommy Davidson, the Wayans brothers, all those guys.

  • - (FBE) So the show was called "In Living Color"

  • and when the music video was released,

  • Bruno treated massive praise for the show,

  • saying that there has never been another show like it.

  • - That's true. - They're never gonna come back.

  • (chuckles) We just gotta watch the reruns

  • if we wanna have that fun. - (FBE) Speaking of,

  • we have the intro from the first season to show you.

  • - No way! All right!

  • - I knew it reminded me of a show,

  • I just couldn't put my finger on it.

  • - Get some J.Lo in here. Yes, all right!

  • - Ah, see, it's the exact same.

  • - Yeah, I remember this. My mom used to play this all the time.

  • - ♪ Do what you wanna do ♪ - (laughs)

  • (sings along) ♪ In living color

  • - And here comes Jim Carrey.

  • - James Carrey?

  • - Whoa! That's back when Jim Carrey went by James?

  • - We used to just call him "the white boy."

  • - Oh, I used to love her and her baby voice.

  • - ♪ Everybody here is equally kind

  • - ♪ In living color

  • - ♪ What's mine is yours... ♪ - Yes, all the Wayans.

  • - ♪ In living color ♪ - It's the exact same set!

  • Holy [bleep]. - The set is almost identical!

  • - Oh my gosh. That's identical.

  • - See, where's J.Lo? Right there.

  • - And there goes the Fly Girls. - Everybody wanted to be a Fly Girl.

  • - ♪ You walk on the moon ♪ ♪ Float like a balloon

  • - You can hear what pieces of this song

  • were sampled for "Finesse."

  • - ♪ You can do what you wanna do ♪ - Ooh, I remember that dance.

  • - (sings along) ♪ In living color

  • Nice. - Yeahhhh!

  • - Honestly, most of the stuff

  • from the '90s was pretty dope, so it's hard not to love it.

  • - (FBE) Okay, so going back to the music video,

  • it was released on January 4th

  • and racked up almost 15 million views

  • in just one day. - Wow. That's something.

  • - (FBE) Since its release, the music video has also

  • been one of the most requested videos

  • for us to cover. - Oh, I've seen the comments.

  • - I should've requested it myself. - - (FBE) Not only is the video

  • full of '90s references and fashion, but the song itself

  • is heavily influenced by '90s R&B.

  • - Uh-huh. Yeah, I noticed that. The beat and stuff like that,

  • it was definitely more like the old school music.

  • - (FBE) So the '90s seem to be having a bit

  • of a comeback as of late, with '90s TV shows and films

  • having revivals and reboots. - Yes, like "Girl Meets World,"

  • "Fuller House." - (FBE) So what do you think

  • it was about the song and the music video

  • that appealed to so many so quickly? - I just think it brings

  • old school and new school together. - Everyone wants to reminisce

  • on their childhood or all the things

  • that they thought were great and awesome.

  • - You have two really popular artists of today,

  • and you're mixing it with the nostalgia of the '90s.

  • The '90s kids are kind of going into the workforce,

  • and it's like, no, you're not getting your summer vacation

  • that you used to as a kid, so everyone's kind of like,

  • "Oh man, I wish I was a kid again."

  • - When it comes to shows or the '90s in general,

  • it feels so much less produced. There's something much more genuine

  • about the '90s shows than there is about new age shows.

  • - I don't wanna say it was just "In Living Color,"

  • but it's Bruno too. Like, the way his music

  • and how he's always bringing back some old school stuff.

  • I wish I could go back to the '90s. I loved it (laughs).

  • You see how excited I am! - (FBE) So finally, if you were

  • making a new song, what '90s TV show

  • or film would you wanna pay homage to?

  • - Oh my god. If I was doing a new single, '90s...

  • Maybe a "Married With Children" thing.

  • - Besides "In Living Color"? Ah, god. "Growing Pains."

  • - "Living Single." There were four women

  • just having a ball. - Oh! Honestly, you know what show?

  • "Rugrats." - Growing up, I loved cartoons.

  • I just automatically thought of "Rugrats."

  • - Some "Rugrats," some "Rocket Power."

  • Oh, this would be bangers. "All That," damn!

  • "Amanda Show," let's go! - Oh my god!

  • If we can do a "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" homage,

  • that bitch would slap! It's just so funny.

  • I still watch reruns of it today.

  • - Thanks for watching this episode of Adults React,

  • and special thanks to Sydney Smith for watching last week.

  • - Falling Dominoes subscribed, you should too.

  • - Be like Brayden Strong and give us a thumbs up

  • if you like the video. - Bye!

  • - Hey, guys. Vartuhi here. Thanks for watching

  • this episode of Adults React.

  • What music video should we react to next?

  • Let us know in the comments. Bye, guys!

- I love how it's like the "In Living Color" intro.
