Indo-US relations have blown hot and cold over the past few decades ever since both countries established diplomatic relations. In an attempt to take the friendship between the two countries one step further than his predecessors, the Biden administration is claimed to have appointed Rick Segal and Korbin Miles of the popular YouTube reaction channel Our Stupid Reactions as Cultural Ambassadors to India.
This is an earnest attempt to hold India close to the US during the growing animosity with China in various spheres of influence on the international stage. From trade to diplomacy, the USA and China have increasingly been at loggerheads ever since the claims that the COVID19 virus was man-made in a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan have emerged.
Reaction channels are a trend that has blown up over the past couple of years where the creators record their reactions to videos that they haven’t see earlier. There any many versions of this trend like Jaby Koay, who reacts to all kinds of videos, to the REACT channel who have elders and children react to various videos. Very few channels pick and stick to a genre and prefer to keep the content on their channel as wide and mainstream as possible for maximum reach.
Our Stupid Reactions is an India specific reaction channel that showcases the reactions of the two main creators Rick & Korbin. They have carved a niche for themselves by keeping their focus on Indian content. The thing that puts them apart from the others is that they do not restrict themselves to Hindi content and frequently explore the other film industries like Malayalam, Assamese and Gujarati to name a few.
There are frequent cameos by 52-year-old Rick’s children Ashley, Alexis and Mica and Korbin’s wife Stephanie and their adorable 1-year-old son Leeland. The stars of the show, however, are Rick and Korbin who have managed to capture the hearts of the Indian population. They have close to a million subscribers on YouTube.
