I think I've ever seen.

♪ A P-E and a T-T-Y ♪

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.

- Oh no.

- Oh, I can't wait.

- Okay, that one was pretty funny.

- I like that.
I want to do that.

- 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!
