Web Series Recs

[methodwriter85]

There's this web series called Teens React, which features everyday

teenagers watching video clips of various things within pop culture, like movie

trailers or viral videos. I came across it while searching for Hunger Games

videos, and I liked it a lot. The kids are funny, and it's a great way to stay

"hip" to what the young people are getting into these days.

 

Here are some of the episodes I liked:

 

Teens React to One Direction

 

and

 

Teens React to Toddlers and Tiaras

 

I liked how the one girl in the first one kept going on about how liking

One Direction made her feel like such a conformist, which made me think of a

joke this guy made when I was in high school, "A non-conformist wants to be

different, just like everybody else." And of course, I loved seeing that one guy

just facepalm at it. "Oh, god, another boyband, though. When will it end?"

 

And in Toddlers and Tiaras...man, those kids didn't mince words. "Go-go

juice makes her laugh, and feel funny. *beat* I think she was drunk." LOL.

 

Anyway, check the episodes out, if you have time. I enjoy it a lot. It's

been about a decade since I was a teenager, and it's kind of cool to see just

how many of these kids reminded me of teenagers I knew when I was in high

school. Kinda nice to know that the more things change, the more they stay the

same. (ESPECIALLY the "I'm so unique and cool because I dyed my hair a crazy

color and talk trash on pop music" person. Never, ever changes.)

 

 

If you've got any web series you'd like to recomend here, by all means!

The same people do a series called Kids React as well. Kids React was the original, and this is a spin off of that. Both are pretty awesome, in my opinion.
