- Howdy GREG! I hope you're all having a great day! Welcome back to another episode of TikTok Time! Talk about TikToks! One of the things that is most
interesting for me to watch as social media becomes
more and more popular, is like the blending of traditional media, like TV and movies and social media. I think its really cool and interesting to see social media stars, like YouTubers and
Instagrammers getting roles in major TV shows. Even getting their own shows. Appearing in movies, or even starting like huge music careers. But I think the flip side of
that is just as interesting. Seeing traditional celebrities, people who got their
start on mainstream media trying to establish a
presence on social media. Over the past couple of years, we've seen a decent amount of celebrities start YouTube channels. One of the weird things I've noticed though is that while it's taken like over a decade it seems like for traditional celebrities to start getting on YouTube. It's only taken like two
years for every celebrity ever to want to get on TikTok. I don't know what it is, I feel like I blinked and now every single musician and actor and comedian is on TikTok now. I don't know why. But it's interesting to look at, 'cause I feel lately there's
been a lot of conversations about YouTubers in mainstream media and how well they're adapting. Likewise, I think that a lot
of mainstream media celebrities are having a similar issue with going from traditional media like
hosting a talk show to TikTok. 'Cause a lot of the celebrities on TikTok are not very good at TikTok. So I tweeted a couple of days ago asking who are some of the
best and worst examples of mainstream celebrities
transitioning over to TikTok. So I wanted to go over a few of them today and take a look at what makes
a good celebrity on TikTok. Who is doing it well, and
who should get the boot! Who needs to be kicked off TikTok? Not all celebrities who have started TikTok accounts are bad. I think two pretty good
examples are Finn Wolfhard and Noah Schnapp. You will recognize these dudes if you ever watched Stranger Things, and to me it seems like
they both joined TikTok just 'cause they wanted to and 'cause they like TikTok and they make TikToks
that they think are funny. They hop on all the popular trends, put their own little twists on it, and a lot of their TikToks are them just goofing
around in their house. A lot of Noah's TikToks
are him without a shirt on, which is a little odd, but all in all, a lot of them have like
that very Vine like quality where they are just sort of off the cuff just a dude sitting in
his room making videos. Another celebrity that I think
does a good job on TikTok is Charli XCX. I'm not really a huge fan of her music, I don't really even
think that I could name any of her songs, but I know that she is pretty famous. She's got a lot of fans. Her TikToks are a lot
different than Finn and Noah's. They are... They're chaos. They're pure chaos. That's the only way to describe it, but I've come to realize that that's what TikTok is all about. It's about being chaotic, unhinged and completely unreasonable. You can't give a fuck on TikTok. (club music) So this is the first TikTok
that I saw of Charlie XCX, and you know at first you might
be like, "Wow that sucked." But, hear me out. One of the most annoying
things celebrities do on TikTok is just get on and try to promote whatever they're working on. If it's like a movie, they're always on set showing it off. If they're in like a TV show, they're always like showing
behind the scene stuff, and it really just feels like a ploy to get you to watch the
show that they're on. This is just Charli XCX, I don't know like in a hotel room, and- (club music) I like don't know what she's doing, but at least she's not
promoting something. - Oop! - Now here's another one of her TikToks. ♪ This girl is on fire ♪ (laughs) Uh, so yeah. That's it, that's the whole TikTok. It's just Charli popping up on the screen. Alicia Keys, Girl on Fire, and Charli not being on fire. A simple concept, a simple execution, but honestly, I'm vibing with it. It's not like the most
genius thing in the world, but she's just being silly, and that's one of the big appeals I feel like for most people on TikTok is they just want to be silly. They just want to be goofy, and Charli XCX is a goofball. And so for that reason,
I'm giving her a thumbs up! She's not getting the boot. She's getting the thumb. I feel like Post Malone
does a really good job on TikTok too. I quite like this TikTok of his. Where is seems like he's in a club, and his song is playing in the background. So it could be perceived as like he is trying to promote his song, but the TikTok is not even about that. He's just in the club with a
comically large box of money. Just handing out gigantic stacks of $1 dollar bills to people. - [Man] Let me get one! (background club music) - And you only see Post
Malone in this TikTok, but I've got to imagine there's
just like a huge line-up of people just waiting in line at the club to get their money. Oh wait, that's not just one box of money. That's two giant boxes of money. He's got two giant boxes full of money that he's handing out. - Let me get one! (static interruption) I think the reason I
like this TikTok so much is because it's just plain silly. I like the absurdity of the situation. I like how happy Post Malone looks, and I like that he moves like a sloth. Okay, now I'd like to move on to an example that I don't
really know how to feel about. In the script for this video where I've written down all the accounts I want to talk about, I've got like "the good"
and then "the bad", and then I had to make a
separate section in the middle called "the okay" for
this particular person, and that person is Howie Mandel. In every technical way,
he is very bad at TikTok. Every time he tries to hop on a trend, or do a popular dance, or use a popular sound, he just doesn't know how to do it. He can't. He's physically incapable of getting a single challenge right, but it also seems like he's aware of this and is kind of doing it ironically, but even still I can't decide if using the excuse of like
"I'm doing it ironically" makes his TikToks good. Like there's this one where
he just puts frozen yogurt all over his bald head and then looks around
all sad and disappointed, and like yeah it's funny, but also, what the fuck? All right, enough about Howie Mandel, the okay TikToker. It's time to talk about "the bad." Okay, so someone tweeting me
this TikTok by Fall Out Boy. Fall Out Boy's TikTok is weird 'cause they've only posted three TikToks. They've posted two way back in 2017, and then took a two year long break and then posted another
one just a few months ago, and there could not be less
effort put into their TikToks. The first one from 2017, which is the one that this person sent me, is just Pete Wentz asking people
to listen to their new song and make TikToks with it. - What's up? Pete from Fall Out Boy here, and we just put out our brand new song, "Young and Menace." We want to see your musicals to it, so- - Him sitting on the couch
in the middle of the TikTok makes it seem like he got too tired from the minimal amount of effort that he was putting into the TikTok. Hey guys, Pete from Fall Out Boy... Ah fuck, I've got to sit. I've got to sit down. Please listen to our new song. - What's up? - Also it's weird that
he's calling them musicals. He's like, "Please make a
musical for our new song." - Your musicals. - Why is he calling them musicals? Hey guys, please write a
full three hour long musical to our new song. It's only three minutes long, but please turn it into
a full length musical. Thanks guys. To be fair, I think that was when
TikTok was still musically, so, I guess it would make
more sense in that context. Were musicallies called musicals? That's a weird name. That would be like if Vines
were called feature films. Looping feature films. So then the next thing they posted was a snippet from their
music video of that song, and then they just went
silent for like two years. Radio silence, and then came
back just a couple months ago with this TikTok. (loud rock music) It's such a weird attempt
to try to market your song, but put the least amount
of effort into it possible. Also why is the caption, "Puppy Pranks?" How is this a prank on the dogs? Ha! You stupid dog. You thought we were going to the dog park? Nah son. We're going to the fucking club. Yeah, you can tell that the
dogs know they got pranked. Look at the looks on their faces. They know they've been duped. (rock music) But speaking of putting minimal effort into promoting your music, you want to know who else has a TikTok? Justin Bieber. Now I don't want to talk too
much about Justin Bieber, because I've already made an entire video talking about how poorly
he marketed, "Yummy." So I'm just going to say this, Justin Bieber has made 11 TikToks, and do you want to know how many of them used the song "Yummy?" Ten. Ten of them. Only one of his TikToks
is not promoting Yummy, and the one that's not promoting Yummy is promoting his clothing
line "Drew House." So like I said before, since there's been a
lot of discussion around social media stars going to TV, like Lily Singh getting
a late night talk show, let's look at an example of
a late night talk show host getting a TikTok. So somebody sent me Jimmy Fallon's TikTok. I'm excited. - Snail. Jellyfish. Snail. Jellyfish. Snail. Jellyfish. (door unlocks) Snail. Jellyfish. - Right off the bat, I don't even know what the
concept of this TikTok is. I don't know why Jimmy is
like faking out a door handle with the snail jellyfish thing. - I've got these guys
up here in this video. What's up dude? - What's up. - Snail. Jellyfish. (man laughs) - This is like the most
timid prank I've ever seen. Jimmy Fallon is like a prank TikToker, but he is like so nervous and shy. I'm going to get these guys up here. I'm going to get them pretty good. Hey man, what's up? Snail. Jellyfish. (shy laughter) - [Woman] How's it going? - Snail. Jellyfish.
- [Woman] Oh? (lady laughs) (Jimmy laughs) - This like timid laugh as he walks away. Be more proud of your prank dude! You can't just nervously walk away from your own employees too. I assume all of these people work for you. - Hey what's up everybody? How are you all doing? (excited chatter) What's up dude? Snail. Jellyfish. - Aw. (Jimmy laughs) - Hey Salone. Snail. Jellyfish.
- Wow. - Yeah, I know dude. I know. - Ugh, this is so uncomfortable to watch. Do you think Jimmy came up with this idea or do you think a social media intern did? This definitely has like dad vibes to it, so I really feel like
Jimmy came up with it. So my piece of advice for you Jimmy is to hire someone who
knows what Tiktok is and have them come up
with your Tiktok ideas. 'Cause this, this ain't it chief! So what I had concluded so far is that for the good TikTokers, it seems like they like TikTok. They enjoy being on it
and they make TikToks because it's just like a fun thing to do, and it's a fun way to express
yourself and create things. They understand the formats decently well, they understand the trends. Meanwhile, the worst celebrities, it seems like they don't
really care about TikTok and it's more just a ploy for
them to get more followers. Push people over to watch their show. Listen to their music. So it seems like a means to an end rather then it's a platform in of itself. And I thought that was
a pretty rule of thumb until someone sent me Bob Saget's Tiktok, 'cause it seems like he
really likes being on TikTok and he really wants to be on TikTok. But he is going to go
in "the bad" category. If you don't know who Bob Saget is, he was on Full House. He played Danny Tanner, and now he's on Fuller House
and he plays Danny Tannest. Before watching Bob Saget's TikToks, I thought that it didn't
really require any talent to be good at TikTok. People say that all the time. It's like, "Oh you do TikToks?
That requires no talent." But if that's true, then how is Bob Saget so bad at TikTok? Either everyone else has
some sort of TikTok talent, or Bob Saget somehow has negative talent? Let's take a look at
his most recent TikToks so you can get an idea of what I mean. ♪ Yeah I'm gonna take my
horse to the old town road ♪ ♪ I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more ♪ ♪ I'm gonna take my horse
to the old town road ♪ ♪ I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more ♪ ♪ I've got the ♪ I just want to know, like, what did he think he was doing here? Is it meant to be silly? Or funny? Or like is it suppose to be ironic? Does he just want to show off
his cool little horse trinket? What am I suppose to feel
when I watch this TikTok? Because the only thing I feel when I watch this is chills. Or like some kind of deep
seeded unnerving feeling, like some kind of unnatural
force has possessed Bob Saget to make this, and to be quite frank, I do not like it. Let's check out another. (I.F.L.Y by Bazzi plays out) ♪ This my baby ♪ ♪ This my look ♪ Are all of Bob Sagets TikToks just him showing off silly
items he has around his house? Is that what he thinks TikTok is? In the next one, he's
going to be wearing a suit with a flower on the
lapel and he squirts it and water shoots out. That's comedy. ♪ No stallin' I'mma pull it off ♪ ♪ God put you in my life for a purpose ♪ ♪ And we might fuss and
fight but it's worth it ♪ Wait is... Is Bob okay? Bob is really in his feelings in this one. I'm worried about him a little bit. I love that little quirky
look he gives at the end. ♪ But it's worth it ♪ That's actually, that's
actually kind of hilarious. ♪ And we might fuss and
fight but it's worth it ♪ (laughs) Why does he do that? ♪ I can be your sugar ♪ ♪ When you're fiendin'
for that sweet spot ♪ ♪ Put me in your mouth baby ♪ ♪ And eat it 'til your teeth rot ♪ Yeah, I'm actually very worried about Bob. I see the thing is that I
can't tell if he's being ironic or if he's really just vibing out here? Like does he know that he
looks goofy doing this? And if anyone else was
lip syncing like this, would I think it was normal? Is it only weird cause he's old? Am I just immediately
skeptical of anyone on TikTok that's older than my exact age? I don't know. - All for the gram. It's a lovely gram. Oh wait, shit! - It's just weird 'cause it feels like every other celebrity whose bad at TikTok just doesn't care about TikTok, but Bob Saget really does care. He really cares, he cares too much. ♪ Roxanne ♪ ♪ Roxanne ♪ ♪ All she wanna do is party all night ♪ He maybe he's being ironic. He could be being ironic, and he knows it looks
silly 'cause he's old, and he knows it looks silly when old people use social media. Is he that self aware? Maybe Bob is actually good at TikTok, and I'm a dork for not getting it. ♪ Brr, brr, brr ♪ Am I the dork? Was I the dork the whole time? We may never know. Unless you already know, in which case I hope I'm not a dork. I mean, these are actually pretty funny. I mean, I get enjoyment
out of watching them. But it's like a weird kind of funny. It's like it's hard to
decern if it's funny for the reason that Bob intended. And he posted the same TikTok twice. He posted the horse one again. Why Bob, why? Why was that TikTok so important that you had to post it twice? I'm starting to think that he really just did just want everyone to know that he's got that
nice looking horse trinket. It's a nice trinket Bob. Is that what you want to hear? I like the trinket. Anyway, I redecorated. I don't know if you could tell. I moved things over. Is it bad? Let me know! Golly! I've got to be honest, I'm not excited to get
