Reacting to the Incredibly Cringey WB Superstar Show 

ah, the ol' fake cancer patient gag

Imagine being the guy that came 2nd. Experiencing almost the same level of humiliation but not getting the money

Telling someone they suck is harsh. Tricking someone into thinking they're good and then crushing them like this is just disgusting.

If I were in the audience, I'd still be worried about what the other terminally ill contestant who stormed off was going to do to himself.

Imagine the sheer amount of trust issues, depression, and public humiliation that comes out of this.

That went from cringe to cruel in 0.6 seconds.

This is the most 2000s thing I have ever seen

Black mirror IRL

I feel like a horrible person just having watched this.

One of the judges was Vitamin C, the one who sang that sad graduation song lol

I am so uncontrollably uncomfortable watching this video

Find Jamie Foss, The winner, and get her on the podcast!

That video they watched looks like some black mirror 15 million merits episode shit

I can't believe it: It's like a group of sociopaths got together to make a television show centered around exploiting someone for the sake of bullying them. You would think the television industry would have learned about the worst-case scenario when it comes to people who feel mislead. Case and point; The Murder of Scott Amedure. Long story short; The Jenny Craig Show brings a man (who had a long history of various mental illness) on their show with the premise that he was to meet a secret admirer. The show failed to disclose that the secret admirer was a man while they read all these descriptive fantasies to a guy, who was led to believe his admirer was a woman. When the whole thing is finally revealed, the Jenny Craig show continues to drag out all the sordid details for the rest of the show. The now-embarassed takes the scenario as a massive humiliation and literally KILLS the secret admirer several weeks later with a shotgun to the chest. You can't just play with people's lives like this. It's reckless and extremely dangerous. You can't possibly know how people will react to this sort of nation-wide embarrassment planned on a long-drawn schedule. People can get seriously hurt; it can ruin someone's life, it can be considered deeply traumatic, and it's just downright cruel to lead someone by the nosejust to dash them against the rocks for public amusement.

This is COMPLETELY real. Mario Rodgers and I had the same vocal coach (his session was right before mine). He told us he got on some kind of talent show and we all figured he must be full of crap. And then this aired. It was awful. I couldn't look him in the face anymore I was so embarrassed for him.

OK but even if these people were terminally ill, there's still some contestants that are losing and having their final wish be a complete bust

I remember watching this show when it aired. Right before the finale aired, they released an actual album of all the contestants singing. It was so wretched

I'm about to cry watching this!!!!! Jesus, who would go to such extremes to completely CRUSH A PERSONS SPIRIT? That's SO low and so sad honestly. Wow.

“The longest violin string ever”

That poor girl. Haha. The second place guy was probably like “Fuuuuuck I dodged a bullet... .. . Sort of.”

this is insane. the creators and producers of that fake show are evil.

the build up to seeing the cringefest gave me anxiety. Seeing it was much worse.

Terminally eel

An entire wing of hell is reserved for that production team.

This is from their Wikipedia page One producer, worried that the live audience members would not be able to respectfully compose themselves during the final performances, deceived the audience by falsely informing them that the singers were all terminally ill young people, who were having a wish fulfilled by a charitable organization.

That's some Vault-Tec level experiment

All tv should be like this. The internet would have a hard time keeping up

This is like "The Gang Broke Dee"

3:16 “he’s getting his machete from backstage”

1:14 ethan farts.

now THIS needs to be an H3H3 main channel vid!

This is brutal I've never heard of a more filthy prank

That host went home and got blind drunk every night.

The only thing I don't like about the live podcast reactions is that they talk over each other so much trying to outdo each other and you cant even enjoy the content because they talk over the actual clip they are reacting to.

this show is a black mirror episode edit: nevermind I didn't realize that all the comments are exactly like mine

can you imagine how much money her family would win in a lawsuit if she killed herself after this. they might as well just sign the company over to them lmaoo

The guy to the right looks like the Pharaoh from Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Pause the video one more fucking time Ethan....

I really, really hope this wasn’t real. How cruel. Even bullies at school would be like, “not cool”.

I love the part of this video where everyone’s talking at the same time, it’s really clear and easy to understand. I think a new podcast idea is getting even more people with mics in an even smaller room

i think the tv audience are the ones actually being pranked

This cringe isnt like other cringe. This is master cringe.

Was this the inspiration for the "Dee does stand up" episode of It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia?

Her voice honestly could have used some vocal lessons and she would have been decent. I’ve heard way, way worse. Never mind I saw the second vocal clip with My Heart Will Go On. 1. She shouldn’t sing out of her vocal range. 2. She is a little tone deaf. 3. It’s really not the worst.

I figured it out, Erik is the surrogate for Hila and Ethan's baby, bless him, what a good guy

the producer and one of the judges was the man who produced the "hostel" movies. the girl who won was an actress, she was in one thing before and one thing after WB SS, it makes me a bit suspicious that everything is fake. like, there is just too much irony and horror flick cliches stuffed together. big tit girl with clothing straight out of a crappy "scary" movie, her voice is obviously, obviously, obviously off and too much.. the "all by myself" isn't tone deafness, it's someone purposefully freestyling notes. there are too many clever lines and ironic statements. honestly though if this were real that would be beyond fucked up but i would watch because of morbid curiosity

LMFAO he’s gonna get his machete from backstage

You talk over the clip too much ya big goofball

"This is the longest violin string solo ever" omg I didn't realize it until he said that and now I'm laughing😂

the cringe physically hurt me

Jesus early 2000's reality TV was BRUTAL. Is that what we were like post-9/11?

real life Black Mirror

This sounds like something straight off of the black mirror cutting room floor

“Prank on top of a prank” lmaooo the first prank being public humiliation and the second prank being fake cancer

Someone provide link to that documentary..

"It's just a prank bro"

Thats so fucked up lol. She seemed like a sweet girl

“This is human cruelty”

I'm not sure getting someone's hopes up about their dreams only to be crushed in front of thousands and thousands of people is really worth the payoff. A quick laugh for the people viewing and they go on with their life and that person has to deal with this forever.

Dennis did something similar to Dee on always sunny.

She actually can be very good. She can hit notes. She's just terribly out of tune and looks weird when she moves around. A little vocal training and make her not dance and she'd actually be great.

Let Hila finish a damn sentence. Your bros need to only talk when it's something worth hearing.

9:51 Erik: "Everybody give her the clap" uh

I love H3H3 but sometimes I think maybe they should show video and then comment and stop with talking over the video ....just saying 😁

This reminds me of that one episode from Black Mirror, with the lead from Get Out.

Alright, I think I have had enough of America.

YES! I remember watching the entire season when it came out and feeling sick.

the blonde girl wasn't THAT bad of a singer, but i think they chose her to win bc of her looks. she fits the whole stereotypical "pretty blonde girl who gets everything she wants" perfectly. this aired in the early 2000s, when there were so many movies where the antagonist was an arrogant blonde girl. idk, that's just the vibe i got

I went to the end of the original video that they cut off, and the girl doesn't actually seem to know whats on the go. She said she just signed her first autograph of the millions she will be doing in the future and that it sounds like post show they continue to ask loaded interview questions because she says "the artist I look forward to working with the most is Britney spears".

But damn those are a pair of awesome knockers.

australia actully has a similar show to this were the winner was the worst act, the differece is its more of a comedy and the people that enter are doing it for the lols and the fact they get a prize at the end, and the audience also know.

This is gold

Half the time I can't hear what's happening in the damn clip bc the mics are really loud compared to the video volume :/ keep having to replay parts to understand what's happening. Maybe something to level out? otherwise it was great!

It would've been incredibly ironic if the people who came up with this show ended up getting terminal cancer. 🤯🤯

Anyone hear the fart at 1:16?

You need to have a talking turns

What's the documentary about this they're talking about? I'd love to see that

She just has a REALLY good personality

i can't even watch this after3minutes,,, it hurts to know what will happen

way too many people talking at once.

Lol ethan explains every single thing that happens in every frame and gives away everything thats going to happen. Me thinks they comsumed some cannabis sativa.

please bring IHE sometime

ethan i love you but PLEASE stop pausing the video so much

Ethan Bradberry

This reminded me of that Black Mirror Episode "Fifteen Million Merits." The girl in that episode that's all like "I can sing" and she's terrible.

That show is so brutally mean. Poor girl.

gotta be fake for this reason... all of the contestants who made it far would have heard the others performances and realized everyone was terrible

"Probably a bitcoin billionaire now" researches *holy frick he died in 2006 of a heroin overdose* Edit: This is a joke and you guys are gullible af

I love h3 because they get the best guests: i loved al from home improvement

Who tf thought this was a good idea 🥖🥖🥖 lmao

I can't watch this, it's literally causing a pain in my body.

There was a similar premise in a TV show called Space Cadets in the UK. They tricked people into thinking they'd be selected to go to space.... They didn't even leave the ground. You guys should react to it.

We believe there's much more to being a superstar than musical talent. Singing is only a small part of the superstar package. There's cup size, perkiness, shape, nipple placement, and jiggle and that's why you're our superstar USA!

"This guy sells me cigarettes out of a bodega" OOOOMMMMFFFGGG

Now this producer is a better pranked than joey salads

There was another show where it was like the Bachelor type a thing and the Bachelor guy was pretending to be Prince Harry, and basically tricked all the women there that they had the chance to marry Prince Harry :)

looks like Ethan gave his fupa to erik

When you binge watch H3

I honestly blame the girl for thinking she could win a talent show.

So the show was an exersise in Gaslighting.
