  • This episode: Ice Bucket Challenge!

  • Alright, I've been officially called out by John Bullis in the Ice Bucket Challenge...

  • Oh, it's the Ice Bucket Challenge.

  • - Ice Bucket Challenge! - Ice Bucket Challenge!

  • I already know this.

  • Everybody's doing the Ice Bucket Challenge!

  • You have 24 hours to respond, or you're gonna donate $100 to the ALS Foundation.

  • That's not a bucket.

  • (laughter)

  • That is literally everywhere.

  • So I'm gonna do the ALS Bucket Challenge.

  • So here it goes.

  • That's a bigger bucket.

  • - There's no ice. - I nominate......

  • and Justin Blonde.

  • Have fun, you guys. You have 24 hours to do this, right now.

  • Hey, it's Niall Horan here--

  • Oh, I know him!

  • Yay, One Direction!

  • I want to nominate Novak Djokovic , Louis Tomlinson...

  • I love the way he talks.

  • Oh!

  • Oh!

  • (laughs)

  • He used the trash bin. (laughs)

  • I've been challenged by several Americans--

  • Do you know who that is?

  • No.

  • No.

  • No.

  • No.

  • Rob Ford?

  • I forgot his name!

  • - He lost to Obama a while back. - Is it John McCain?

  • That is one of the former presidents.

  • George Bush.

  • George Bush!

  • I do not think it's presidential for me to be splashed with ice water--

  • I agree.

  • So I'm simply gonna write you a check.

  • Oh!

  • That check is for me. I don't wanna ruin my hairstyle.

  • I don't really like this guy, but yeah! He supporting ALS.

  • Right now...I will be doing

  • - the Ice Bucket Challenge! - Oh, Macklemore.

  • So many celebrities are doing this.

  • (crowd cheers)

  • - That was a cool place to do it. - Yeah!

  • And all the girls are like, "I want the bucket!"

  • That one was a crazy one.

  • Famous people doing it just makes it stupider.

  • Alright, Scooter, I accept your Ice Bucket Challenge.

  • Is that Justin Bieber?

  • Oh no.

  • - I nominate Barack Obama-- - What?!

  • Barack Obama?!

  • Bieber, stop getting in my face.

  • Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I have been nominated by three people...

  • Syndicate, yeah!

  • I can donate $1,000 to charity.

  • Let's do this.

  • It's time for Nate's nomination. Go, go, go, go, go!

  • Oh no, no, no, no!

  • (laughs)

  • Wow.

  • I've got one more nomination to go.

  • - I have so many - Oh no!

  • Oh no!

  • Okay, this one's good.

  • It's like a waterfall!

  • (laughs) This is the best one.

  • What?!

  • That's crazy!

  • Now it's going to say QUESTION TIME!

  • (laughs)

  • I've been here long enough to know everything.

  • Question time!

  • So why do you know about the Ice Bucket Challenge?

  • I've heard of it from my friends.

  • Somebody did it at my school.

  • (together) Instagram.

  • - Facebook. - It's huge!

  • Basically, everyone that I know have done it.

  • So the Ice Bucket Challenge is where you challenge people in a video

  • to pour ice water over their head, and they have to do it in 24 hours,

  • or they have to donate money to charity.

  • That's actually pretty hilarious.

  • So wait...if you pour the water on your head, you don't give money?

  • If you don't do it, you...do?

  • (Finebros) What do you think about this challenge and the charity drive?

  • I think it's a really good cause.

  • Is it dumb or is it helping out charity?

  • Oh, let's find a way to spread awareness about this disease.

  • Let's pour ice water on our heads.

  • You're just wasting water.

  • Some of the people that do them, they only do tiny buckets.

  • - Yeah. - I know we're in a drought, but...

  • (together) It's for charity!

  • It's gotten so big that even major celebrities are doing it.

  • What is it about this that makes them want to do it to?

  • Because they want to help people with ALS.

  • I think it's cool that everybody's doing it.

  • It's like the next trend.

  • If big celebrities do it, then everyone else wants to do it.

  • I think it's a good cause. I think people should do it

  • to spread awareness and stuff.

  • But when you do it, you seem like a good person.

  • So...celebrities want to be like, "Oh, we're normal people.

  • We do great things."

  • (Finebros) Why do you think people just don't make videos challenging people

  • to donate money to charity?

  • Why do we also need to be pouring water over our heads?

  • Because it catches peoples' attention.

  • If it's just charity, go donate for charity,

  • they'll be like, "Well, that's boring."

  • 'Cause it sounds like an ad!

  • Well, you need to intensify everything.

  • We can't just go, "Oh, here's $100 for charity."

  • No! You have to dump ice water on your head.

  • "Oh, okay!"

  • Not everyone can donate.

  • I just don't have $100 I can just give away.

  • I'm a kid.

  • But we can dump ice water on ourselves to help get the numbers up

  • so someone else can donate.

  • (Finebros) So this challenge is said to have come from

  • another challenge from a while ago called the Cold Water Challenge,

  • where you jump into a cold lake or a body of water for charity.

  • - Have you ever heard of that? - No.

  • Don't think so.

  • (Finebros) So this challenge seems to have come from another challenge,

  • - but people rarely mention that. - I kind of feel bad for the Cold Water Challenge.

  • That's what started it all. It's like the father.

  • If you go online and you get an idea from something,

  • you have to credit the source.

  • (Finebros) So back to the challenge, it can be for any charity,

  • but mostly it has been for ALS. You know what ALS is?

  • Ummm, no.

  • No clue.

  • ALS is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

  • It's also known as the Lou Gehrig Disease.

  • You can't move certain muscles, and eventually you just can't move at all.

  • You have to sit in wheelchairs and you can barely walk.

  • My mom had cancer--the lungs one.

  • It's very rare and they didn't have a cure for it,

  • so helping people cure themselves is a very good reason

  • to care about your family as well.

  • (Finebros) Some are saying this challenge is dumb and people are only doing it

  • to get attention because it's gotten so popular,

  • and there's no way to know if they're actually donating to charity.

  • Other people think it doesn't matter because it's still raising awareness.

  • - What do you think? - I'm with the people who are saying

  • it raises so much awareness.

  • I think they should think positive, not negative.

  • If it was dumb, then why would a lot of people do it?

  • Well, yeah...wait a second, wait a second. This is humanity we're talking about.

  • Even if they are doing it for the wrong reasons, just to get attention,

  • they are still telling people, "Come on. You should donate to charity."

  • (Finebros) Finally, we will donate $100 to charity if you accept

  • the challenge of pouring ice cold water over your head.

  • I accept!

  • Oh god!

  • Right now?

  • I'll do it.

  • I accept it!

  • You got yourself a deal, young man!

  • Okay...

  • Oh no!

  • This is for you, ALS, and you're a sucker,

  • so here it goes!

  • (shrieking)

  • Oh!

  • (shrieking)

  • Oh my gosh. That wasn't so bad.

  • Oh my gosh!

  • Wow.

  • I challenge all you subscribers.

  • All the subscribers out there...

  • to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge!

  • 24 hours, please.

  • - Good luck! - Good luck.
