Elastic Band Challenge ft The Vamps // daresundays // janoskians

https://youtu.be/Z0umveK5iPM

Summary: The janoskians are joined by boyband The Vamps in a challenge called the Elastic Band Challenge. 

To find out who was crowned victorious in this challenge watch the video above.

Enjoyability: I know I'm a fan of the Janoskians despite the views a lot of people have on them but I have to say I did not enjoy this video. I just found it to be childish on another level from their previous videos and while watching it I couldn't help but think, this is such a stupid challenge. Of course it being a stupid challenge wouldn't matter if the reactions they had were interesting. But I thought that they gave quite a lacklustre and boring reaction to having several  elastic bands cutting off circulation to their head. Although despite what I feel about the video I can understand why some people would find it amusing but for me it just didn't do it.

Comparison to other videos: I found this to be one of their least eventful videos as all that happened was they put elastic bands on their head. I think as challenges go this was worse than some of their other fail video challenges as at least in those something was meant to happen. This video didn't have the same level of humour and Janoskian charm that I'm used to and this is one of the reasons it fell flat to me. Also the vamps where an unnecessary addition as with or without them the video would have been the same. They made no real contribution to the video and I feel like their presence offset the usual Janoskian dynamic.

Originality: This video is not unique at all as there are countless other videos of people doing the exact same boring challenge.  However the Janoskians almost try to trick us into believing its new by calling it the Elastic Band Challenge instead of the Rubber Band Challenge.  Usually the Janoskians are somewhat good at coming up with their own unique, weird and wonderful challenges but it seems they didn't want to subject The Vamps to their usual hardcore level of challenges.

Overall: I have to say this video is rather disappointing because the Janoskians have a lot of genuinely funny, silly humour in their videos. However in this video something did not work. I do have  to take into account the fact that this video was just meant to promote The Vamps and appease fangirls but really they could have put a little more thought into it. I give this 2/10.

I Dare You: GETTING TASED! (ft. Timothy Delaghetto & Anna Akana) - NigaHiga

Image
Summary: NigaHiga is back at it again with another I Dare You video featuring the hilarious and talented Timothy Delaghetto and Anna Akana, as well as the usual gang whose names I've now realised I don't actually know. awkward.... This video is a part of a series that NigaHiga has created which shows him and a group of people doing all sorts of crazy dares and challenges (the kind they tell you not to try at home) all to win a coveted spot for their name on the ball of lame. // Side note: the ball of lame is basically a ball of tinfoil that they write their names on// Unfortunately this video didn't stick out as being one of the greatest in the series and it didn't even make me laugh out loud once. Yet it does still do it's best to try to be entertaining. I'm starting to wonder if the appeal of the series is starting to wear off especially since Youtube is a place where you can see hundreds if not thousands of videos of people humiliating themselves an...

Making something of yourself

Uni is a unique time when you are surrounded by like minded individuals who all want to make something of their life. So naturally you'll see a lot of people having businesses, being athletes, aspiring singers, models etc and in this midst of so much success it can be disheartening in a way. Everyone appears to be flourishing and getting exciting new opportunities and if you haven't found your thing yet it can seem like you're falling behind the crowd. To this I say don't worry, a key part of uni and transitioning into adulthood is learning more about yourself and what you want for your future. It's a time to gain ideas from people and meet potential collaborators but it is also a good time to try out different things, pursue something that scares you because even if you fail at it, you have time to recover. I know what it's like to look at your peers and feel like you're not doing anything or to look at them doing well in something your interested i...

Speaking wealth into your life

Many people spend thousands of pounds every year on going to wealth conferences but luckily for you I'm going to explain one of their most taught processes that helps aid you in becoming wealthy. It is called speaking wealth into your life or a mantra and I will be sharing a few of the benefits of having one. A mantra is simply a few statements that you recite every morning when you wake up that helps put you in the right a frame of mind. (I will be talking about how the way you think about money influences the amount you will get next week, so be looking out for that). It is almost like a reminder of what you want to achieve. Writing a mantra is quite easy but first you have to identify which financial goals you want to achieve. If you want to be financially free then a mantra you could say is "I am financially free and I have no debts" . By saying this every morning it helps you to truly believe it and get more into the rich person mindset. It can also inspire you ...
