  • [announcer] -Welcome to the game everyone plays when they log on to Twitter:

  • Oh no! Why is this Trending?

  • -Hello and welcome back to another exciting episode of: Oh no! Why is this trending?

  • Now if you've ever been on Twitter, I don't need to explain the rules to you.

  • You know how this works.

  • You guys ready to play?

  • -Ooh yeah. -Happy to be here Mike. -Yes.

  • -Alright. Here we go.

  • First one.

  • Mel Brooks.

  • Oh no, what happened? Why is Mel Brooks trending?

  • -Ah, fuck, did he die?

  • -He did not die.

  • [all sigh with relief]

  • -Man, he's good.

  • -Yeah. -That's great.

  • -Uh, wait.

  • Did he say something sexist or racist?

  • Nope.

  • -Okay, good.

  • -Is it his birthday?

  • -It is his birthday!

  • -Yes!

  • -And a majority of Twitter decided they wanted to comment on it.

  • For some reason.

  • -Happy... Happy Birthday.

  • -Happy Birthday! -Yeah.

  • -Alright.

  • Make a Movie a Porno.

  • The fuck is this?

  • Why are people talking about this?

  • -That's Matt Midnight bullshit.

  • -Yes, if it's some stupid pun thing, pretty much always.

  • Good job, points for you, Grant.

  • What about... just France?

  • A whole country all of a sudden.

  • Oh no, what could this possibly be?

  • -Ohh, is it some terrorism thing?

  • It feels like it might be a terrorism thing.

  • -It feels like that, but it's not.

  • It's not.

  • -But did, like, a train derail or something?

  • -No, no, it's not that either.

  • -Um, if everyone's talking about France,

  • That means something bad happened, probably.

  • And also, #niece was trending earlier.

  • Is any of this anything?

  • -No, no, you're all on the wrong track entirely.

  • France is trending because they won a sports championship you've never heard of before.

  • And Zac, it's actually #nice that's trending.

  • A bunch of people are posting Vines where they just say "niiiice."

  • -Nice!

  • -Nice.

  • -Niece?

  • -No, no, no, we're saying "nice," Zac.

  • -Okay.

  • -Next question.

  • Donald Trump.

  • Christ, what did he do now? Jesus fucking Christ, why is he trending?

  • -Did he die?

  • -He did not die, I'm sorry to say, no.

  • -Uh, did he say something sexist or racist?

  • -Almost constantly, but that's not why he's trending.

  • -Is it also his birthday?

  • -Oh, that's a very good guess, but I'm afraid that's incorrect, though.

  • Donald Trump is trending because he won another primary.

  • [crowd boos]

  • -How?!

  • -I don't know.

  • Okay, next.

  • Can you tell me which of these is a liberal hashtag that got taken over by conservatives,

  • And which was a conservative hashtag that got hijacked by liberals?

  • -No.

  • -That's correct, it's impossible to tell.

  • Very good, Grant.

  • Okay, what about... #beefurday?

  • Like Saturday, but for beef.

  • Who talks like this? How is this trending?

  • -It's a sponsored tweet!

  • -That's correct, it is a sponsored tweet!

  • Thousands of fake accounts were created, and real people were given real money

  • To talk about Beefurday.

  • This is the world we live in.

  • Okay, we're on to our last question.

  • Wario Batali.

  • Why is this trending?

  • What is so intriguing about Wario Batali

  • That thousands of people are talking about it right now?

  • [music goes off]

  • Oh, and that sound means we're out of time.

  • Uh, unfortunately, we don't have the correct answer either.

  • It turns out the whole Internet just decided to start talking about this Photoshopped picture

  • Of an evil version of chef Mario Batali.

  • -Ah, that makes sense.

  • -No it doesn't.

  • Points from Grant.

  • Fuck!

  • -And that's all the time we have!

  • Jpin us the next time you log on to Twitter

  • For the only game that makes you equally confused and afraid:

  • Oh no. Why is THIS Trending?!

  • -Who won?

  • -Nobody.

  • Hi, it's Mike Trapp from CollegeHumor.
