Andrea Barber says her 13-year-old son won’t publicly admit to being a Fuller House fan, but what he does in his room suggests that’s not the truth.
When Barber, who portrays Kimmy Gibbler on the show, was asked during a People Now interview what her son thinks about his mom starring in the show, she replied, “I have a 13-year-old son, so he won’t admit that this is cool.”
“His friends all think it’s cool, but he’s mortified by anything I do on-screen or off-screen,” Barber, 41, continued. “But I will catch him in his room binge-watching the show.

If you are on the cusp of 40 like I am (38) then you’re probably starting to get that whole “old man on the porch yelling at people vibe.” I find myself using the phrase “when I was a kid” way more often than I’d like. As we get older we tend to pine for the “good ol’ days” and complain about much of the way society operates today. One of the biggest areas of complaint I find my generation engaging in is music. I for one can’t really stand today’s music on a general level. There are of course

The Fine Brothers have released yet another one of their brilliantly-timed and pertinently-themed ‘react videos’ -- on the eve of last night’s Gop debate, during which the rhetoric took a rather unexpected and juvenile turn.
Entitled Kids React to Donald Trump, the clip has already racked up almost 1 million views overnight. At the outset of the video, the reactors -- all of whom are between the ages seven and 13 -- seem tickled by some of Trump’s outbursts, but by the end, they are unanimously appalled, with cries of “This guy is mean!” “That’s so mean!” and “That’s so rude!”
“He’s like a five-year-old,” says 13-year-old Kayla, when a clip is shown of Trump complaining about the microphone quality at one of his rallies. “He throws tantrums about, like, stupid things.”

In 2010, before Kids React and its resulting spin-offs had become the centerpiece of their online video presence, Benny and Rafi Fine debuted Milly, a hand puppet who vlogged in a high-pitched voice. Milly’s channel has been dormant since 2012, but on July 14th, The Fine Bros brought her back to interview a pair of special guests. Milly sat down with Bill Hader and Amy Schumer, the stars of the upcoming movie Trainwreck.
In the video, Milly sits down with Hader, Schumer, and Rafi Fine (who shows up to keep his “friend” in check). She proceeds to ask a series of risque questions that challenge her childlike purity. Hader and Schumer play along by delivering a steady stream of droll one-liners.

"Be kind...rewind." That is a phrase that today's youths will never understand or appreciate. And they'll certainly never get the fact that a Disney movie is always, always better on VHS. YouTube's The Fine Brothers have released another video in their "Kids React" series, and this time children are investigating a long-forgotten form of entertainment: the Vcr. Now you can watch a movie on your desktop computer, your laptop, your iPhone and your iPad…all at the same time, so it's no surprise that the kids in this video find that wrestling with a Vcr just to watch a video tape is too much work. One girl apparently wanted to make everyone feel extra old because she...

In an age when the doors of Blockbuster have been shuttered, "Be Kind Rewind" means nothing to today's Netflix-streaming children. For this installment of the Fine Bros.' "Kids React series," the world's burgeoning young minds are presented with a bulky, black Vcr ... and they have no idea what to do with it. In the video, the kids handle the box like a prehistoric paperweight and try to guess what it is. Alarm clock? Radio? Music player? Finally, Tyler provides a pretty spot-on description. "It's a Vcr player, and it's really hard to, like, program the clock," the 10-year-old says.

There is probably no more humbling reminder of how much time has passed by than when The Fine Brothers’ "Kids React" series takes "old" things that were integral to your youth, sits young children down and shows them baffled as they handle them with an extreme antiquarian culture shock. Certainly, the latest episode of the YouTube series may have proven itself the most humbling for anyone who came of age during the reign of the VHS Vcr. If you want to kick off your day by feeling old, then check it out! "Kids React" utilizes a tried and true formula allowing adults an objective way to bask in the wonderment of intergenerational logic that almost mirrors "Kids Say the Darndest Things" hosted by Bill Cos…err, He Who Must Not Be Named.

Benny and Rafi will serve as executive producers alongside Max Benator. Marc Summers will join the executive production team under his Marc Summers Productions banner. William Morris Endeavor negotiated the Six Degrees of Everything deal with TruTV and the Fine Bros.

Forgive these old(er) people for waiting until 2015 to get around to Kim Kardashian’s butt, but they’re...well, old. Hence the premise of this video: Elders React to Kim’s “Break the Internet” pictures.
(It’s by the same people who do those “Kids React To” videos you’re always seeing on your Facebook feed, but it’d probably be illegal to show kids these pictures.)
The Fine Bros. recorded a handful of old folks reacting to Kim’s Paper magazine cover where she — as you surely remember — greased herself up and mooned the world. And the reactions are as hilarious as you’d expect:
Watch: What happens when grandmas smoke weed for the first time!
Like the rest of the world these elders have a loooooot of opinions about Kim. And a lot of funny facial expressions to go with those opinions:

It must be awesome to be a kid who loves movies in the current cinematic climate. There are literally dozens upon dozens of movie characters, superheroes and idols to fall in love with. A steady stream of new installments to the blockbuster world just keeps on providing even more of them too. But while us adults can.t react in quite the same joyously uproarious fashion as our younger counterparts to these films, we can enjoy watching them do so. That sounded a lot creepier than I intended. You know what I meant though, right? If not, just watch Kids React to Avengers: Age Of Ultron and you soon will. See what I mean? The adorable scamps.

Contrary to what many believe, it’s actually not that difficult to get your YouTube video to go viral nowadays (just look at the recent “P.O.P Hold It Down” video that’s been making its rounds lately). However, it is quite difficult to keep that trend up on a consistent basis. Just ask The Fine Brothers, Benny and Rafi.
A few years back the brothers launched the YouTube channel TheFineBros and have been pretty much running the internet ever since (with over 2 billion video views and counting). Their biggest success has been their “React” series (Kids React, Teens React, Elders React, YouTubers React, and Celebrities React).
In the videos the brothers expose a demographic to something they probably wouldn’t otherwise be acquainted to, and we all watch as hilarity ensues. For instance: Elders react to Google Glass while kids react to rotary phones in an equally hilarious manner.

Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg's PewDiePie channel is at the top of the charts this week. While the 24-year-old Swedish gamer didn't rack up the 100+ million views he did last week, he came close. PewDiePie scored nearly 93.9 million views in the last seven days. That puts the channel almost 50 million views ahead of its next closest competitor this week, DisneyCollectorBR. The perennial chart topper and online video destination for videos of adults playing with children's toys ended the week with more than 55.2 million views. Up next in the #3 spot is Shakira whose World Cup anthem, "La La La (Brazil 2014) ft. Carlinhos Brown" is still getting clicks on YouTube. The international pop star ended the week with a little more than 53.6 million views. Up next in the #4 spot is once again StamyLongHead. The UK-based online video gamer stayed consistent with slightly more than nearly 43.3 million views in the last seven days.

The Fine Bros have built one of the most popular destinations on YouTube thanks to successful web series like Kids React and MyMusic. Now, Benny and Rafi Fine are sharing their channel with other members of the online video community. Fine Bros Entertainment will finance and distribute original programs through the YouTube duo's personal channel. According to information Benny and Rafi disclosed during their various panels at VidCon, the programs that The Fine Bros. choose to distribute will be a mixed bag. Some will be meant solely for the YouTube audience while others will be incubated for platforms like TV. This strategy is a reflection of the Fine Bros' own productions; while Benny and Rafi are still most active on the web, they are developing several projects for film and television. "It's a natural evolution of their business, as I see it," said Max Benator, The Fine Bros' manager, about the new financing initiative.

In the latest episode of the popular YouTube series Kids React, Benny and Rafi Fine presented their young stars with a object that is at least 25 years their senior: An Apple II computer. In the seven-minute video, the kids do their best to decipher the foreign contraption in front them, all while delivering plenty of the adorable, candid one-liners that make Kids React so much fun. As it turns out, the video is actually a very clever brand collaboration. The old computers episode of Kids React is sponsored by AMC, the channel that will soon debut Halt and Catch Fire, a fictionalized account of the rise of the computer industry. The first episode of that series will debut on June 1st. Teaming with The Fine Bros was a smart move on AMC's part, as the old computers fit in neatly with Kids React's recent trend.

The Fine Bros are coming to Nickelodeon. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the multi-talented YouTube duo are bringing their popular React concept to TV as a 13-episode series called ReactToThat. Nickelodeon's interest in ReactToThat was first rumored back in February, when it was reported that Benny and Rafi Fine were working with Nick Cannon to produced a pilot. The Fine Bros then leveraged their fan base for a social media campaign meant to convince Nickelodeon to greenlight ReactToThat. The TV execs reportedly "got it," and so ReactToThat will debut later this year. While the YouTube episodes of React are separated into Kids React, Teens React, Elders React, and YouTubers React, the TV show will feature "kids and teens together," according to The Fine Bros. There will also be a distinct reality show element, with reacting participants invited to complete specific challenges based on the videos they have watched. The result...

Benny and Rafi Fine of The Fine Bros. recently shot a pilot for Nickelodeon based on their very popular YouTube React series (which, with its separate Kids React, Elders React, Teens React, and YouTubers React shows, is really more of a burgeoning franchise). The made-for-tv version is called ReactToThat and was produced in partnership with Nick Cannon’s Ncredible Entertainment. Executives at Nickelodeon are currently considering if they want to put in an episode order for ReactToThat and greenlight the show to air. The Fine brothers are trying to make their decision a little bit easier. On Monday, January 24, Benny and Rafi took to their YouTube channel (with its 7.3+ million subscribers) to solicit support for their wouldbe television debut. The brothers uploaded a video plea in which they both solicit the camera and their fans to do the following two things: Leave a comment on this Variety article saying how...

The brothers Benny and Rafi Fine may be taking their online video talents to television. The fraternal pair known collectively online as The Fine Bros. have teamed up with Nick Cannon and his Ncredible Entertainment production company to produce a pilot for Nickelodeon. The program, dubbed ReactToThat, is based on the Fine’s incredibly popular React series, which is a fully-fledged YouTube franchise with multiple editions (including Kids React, Elders React, Teens React, and YouTubers React) that has tackled topics as inane as twerking and as important as gay marriage and garnered hundreds of millions of views in the process. Nickelodeon hasn’t yet made up its mind if it will greenlight the series, but regardless of the end result, the pilot order marks the latest example of online video talent getting a serious shot at transitioning to TV.
