I was seriously singing that song when we went to the grocery store.
- If you're gonna make a video that dumb,
then at least make it good quality.
It was stupid.
- (Finebros) So the video is called "The Starrkeisha Cheer Squad"
and it's made by a YouTuber named Cameron J.
- Never heard of him.
- (Finebros) This video has over 14 million views.
- You kidding me?
- That's a lot of views.
- Jeez, that's a lot.
- What the--? This video?
- No one can explain how it got that many views.
- (Finebros) Why do you think this video is that popular?
- Because it's funny.
- Because it has lots of weird dancing men/women.
- Because it's weird.
Weird things get popular.
- Like Miranda Sings, she's funny, weird, awkward,
and people love her.
- (Finebros) So this character of Starrkeisha has appeared
in a lot of videos, but this one became more popular recently
and there are tons of remixes of the song and dance,
and there's even a trend now called "The Petty Challenge."
- How do you do it? I wanna do it. I wanna do it.
- (Finebros) So now we're gonna show you
a compilation of videos that other people have made
doing The Petty Challenge. - Okay.

- I'm surprised that people put so much effort into this.
- These videos, no!
They should not be a big thing!
- (Finebros) What is it about this song and video
that you think makes people want to remake it?
- I don't know.
Probably 'cause they want views.
- They're only doing it because a lot of other people like it
and they wanna get views.
- It's funny and it's a trend.
The funnier you do it, the more popular it might get.
- 'Cause it makes them feel closer to the YouTuber.
If I do this and send it to them, they might respond to me.
- Someone might be featured on a "complimation" that you showed me,
and then they're like, "Oh my gosh! I was featured!!!
They know me!"
- (Finebros) So there's a lot of internet challenges going around
these days, in part due to plaforms like Musical.ly.
- I hate Musical.ly.
It's just terrible.
- (Finebros) Do you like these types of challenges or no?
- Kind of.
- It depends on what it is.
- Yeah, it's fine.
- I like all the challenges out there mostly.
- No.
- No. No, no, no.
- I usually do... but not when they're that dumb.
- (Finebros) So you know how we're gonna end the episode.
- No! NO!
No, you're not gonna make me! You're not gonna make me.
You're not gonna make me. I refuse!
- (Finebros) You ready to do the dance? (chuckles)
- (dejectedly) Okay, fine.
- This is not one that I wanna do, but I gotta do it.
I have to do it!
