Kids React To

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Kids React To (or just Kids React) is Exactly What It Says on the Tin -- the Fine Brothers, Benny and Rafi, who produce other material on their channel but are best-known for this, show viral videos, popular songs, YouTube stars or the like to children from five to thirteen years old (Lia, a fourteen-year old, was once the oldest on the show, has since "graduated" to Teens React To (or simply Teens React), a spin-off series based around a similar principle just with teenagers.)

Tropes used in Kids React To include:
  • A Very Special Episode: The ones on KONY 2012, bullying and Osama bin Laden's death were both more serious and more thought-provoking than the average episode (especially the KONY 2012 video).
  • Berserk Button: William really does not like Rebecca Black
  • Breakout Kid: Likely due to her older age, Lia is significantly more popular than the other regular kids - which is probably what lead to Teens React To.
    • Now that Lia isn't on Kids React To anymore, it seems like Morgan is quickly taking her spot as people's new favorite kid.
    • William was also a popular kid on the show, due to him being more aware of what happens on the Internet than any of the other kids, as well for being a Deadpan Snarker. In fact, in the comments section of more recent Kids React episodes (which he hasn't been a part of for a while), some fans like to state how much they miss him.
  • Brutal Honesty: Depending on the subject.
  • Catch Phrase: Lia's "creeper" and Morgan's "Follow me, camera!".
  • Cheerful Child: Many, many, many kids. And they're all adorable ! Aaaaaaawww...
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Morgan, every now and then. Justified since she's 5 years old at the beginning of the series.
    • She's slowly growing out of that. She still has a lot of this trope in her but she's nowhere near as nutty as she was at the beginning of the series.
  • Crossover: When Kids React To encounter Epic Meal Time...
  • Cough-Snark-Cough: Lia, when asked about what does she think about people who do LARP: *cough* Nerds!
  • Cute Mute: Royel, when he's not speaking.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Plenty of the older cast falls into this, mostly Jake and William.
  • Eye Take: Morgan during the "le Internet Medley" video. She was laughing, and suddenly went "O_O wtf ?!" when the ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US part barges in.
  • Face Palm: Done occasionally.
  • Flat What: William's reaction to there being a six-hour version of Nyan Cat on YouTube.
  • Fun with Subtitles: Occasionally, or rather especially when Royel is involved.
  • Hair Decorations: Morgan, in her Christmas costume.
  • Hair of Gold: Lia, Mahrly, Emma, the twins...
  • I'm Taking Her Home with Me: Morgan on the Nyan Cat: "Didn't you want to kidnap her, people?"
  • One of Us: Several kids on the show, specially William.
  • Precocious Crush: Morgan seems to have one on Benny.
  • Running Gag: A few.
    • Emma's Words of Wisdom.
    • Aaaaawwwwwwwwww : CUTE.
    • There were also three or four instances of Words of Zen.
    • And there have been a few TRUTH's.
  • Spin-Off: The aforementioned Teens React To and a freshly launched series called Elders React To (or Elders React).
  • Squee: Morgan's first reaction to the Nyan Cat.
  • Take That: With so many different reactions, some fall under this.
  • The Unintelligible: Royel, when he's speaking. He sometimes has to be subtitled.
  • What Could Have Been: A "Kids React to the Royal Wedding" was planned for the week after said event occurred, but Osama bin Laden's death two days later resulted in a change in subject matter.
