There’s reaction videos on yourube
Reaction videos on YT.
90 Day Fiance also has a “reacts” series where former contestants watch the current season called “Pillow Talk”
It’s called YouTube.
There was, The People’s Couch.
Reaction videos on youtube.
Nice Dude Movie Night (YouTube) is a couple of young men watching and reacting to movies that Gen X and Millennial kids would have grown up watching.
Twins the New Trend (also YouTube) is a pair of young men who were sheltered from pop culture as kids and now record their reactions to various types of popular music.
Not on television, but on Youtube people will make videos reacting to things. Most of them I find pretty boring, but some creators actually add their own personality to their reaction and make it funny. I recommend ‘plaqueboymax’ on Youtube and Twitch.
I had no idea that they made a tv show out of reaction videos. I wish I didn’t know that.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Celebrity Watch Party. It had one season that aired in 2020. This was the American equivalent to Gogglebox except with celebrities and their family members, watching in their own homes. They had people like Tyra Banks, JoJo Siwa, the Osbournes, etc. I believe it was shot and edited in a similar way to Gogglebox. Apparently it also aired in the UK under the name Celebrity Gogglebox USA. We don’t have a non-celebrity version though. The show was never officially canceled, so maybe it will come back someday.
I don’t think so, but that’s definitely interesting. Although I’m not into reaction videos myself, I can see the appeal.
No, not really.
I lived in the UK for a few years and my guilty pleasure was Gogglebox. I still watch it every week even though I’ve been back to living in the US for 5 years now. I don’t think a similar show would work in the US because we don’t have the same TV culture (where we see the same commercials/news segments/shows). I mean, we do to an extent but not nearly as much.
