- Not this.
- Oh no.
- Not this!
(light music)
Hi, I'm Mei, and this is my girlfriend.
- Hey, I'm India and this is also my girlfriend.
- Hi, I'm Derek Lewis.
- Hi, I'm Cedric Dodd.
- And we met in college.
- And we became best friends,
and we've been living together basically ever since.
- Yeah.
- Hi, my name is Tucker,
and I'm here with my friend roommate Jacob.
- Friends first, roommates second.
- Exactly.
- [Producer] Are you guys excited
about rating these products?
- I'm very excited to review these Pride products
because I've been seeing a lot
of kinda cringy (beep) around here,
so maybe we'll get some good stuff.
- A little bit nervous for what we're gonna see.
- Not me, I'm diving in headfirst.
- [Producer] If you like it, you'll put the YASS up,
and if you don't, then you'll switch it around and PASS.
- Great.
- [Producer] Starting it simple.
- Ooh.
- Is it kombucha?
- Can we touch it?
- Oh no.
- I mean, it's cute.
I like it.
- I will say, I really like this brand.
- Have you had a kombucha before?
- I have never had kombucha.
- Never?
- Never.
- Girl!
- I don't love kombucha because I feel,
cambucha, kambucha?
- Kamboochuh?
- Kombucha.
- The gays love health.
- So this is organic Dr Kombucha Love Wins.
We love that, is that the flavor?
- Lavender?
- Yeah.
Flavor: Love Wins.
- It's not too obnoxious.
- It's not at all.
- Does it donate to anything?
- Trevor Project.
- The label.
- I like that we're supporting the Trevor Project.
That means a lot.
- I'm down, I would drink it.
- [Producer] You wanna try?
- Can we?
- Ooh, do we get to rate the cups?
- Wait, rating this product too, absolutely obsessed.
- Okay, Pride cups.
- Okay, let's see.
- Cheers.
- I like it.
- Don't love it.
- Really?
- No.
- I like it.
- I kinda hate it, but I like the concept
and that's not on them that I don't like the flavor.
- Yeah!
- So I think.
- I say yes.
- I'm gonna still have to pass, I'm sorry.
- I'm a fan.
And also, giving back.
I mean, this is gonna be a yass from me.
- I'll give it a soft yes.
- Wow.
Okay, he absolutely hates the Trevor Project.
- But I love the Trevor Project.
- Nope, canceled!
- I give it a yass, but I don't like the flavor.
- Oh wait.
- Oh no.
- Okay, so this is famously a fan, as they say in the biz.
- Oh.
- You go first, I don't know how to open them.
- I don't think I can.
- You know, like, oh!
Oh!
- Oh.
- For the wind.
- Yeah, hit me.
- Does it make you feel proud?
- No.
- I think that it has great wind speed too.
- Where are these in church when I need them in church?
It be hot.
- Could you imagine?
You go, "Bam!"
- Amen, praise the Lord.
(both laugh)
- One trip to, oh it's broke.
- Oh phooey.
(fan opening)
- Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
I would just like to talk to everyone
in the LGBT community right now,
I'm so sorry that I broke your product.
- She doesn't seem very durable.
- Okay, well durability, we're looking at a hard nah.
- I think that could've been user's fault.
- Can't say I'm a fan.
I said a joke.
- What was the joke?
- I'm not a fan.
- Oh my God, that was good.
- Thanks.
- I'm going to have to say yes.
- Oh yeah.
I say yes too.
- I'm going to give it a yes.
- Yass for me.
- Pass.
- Okay.
- Is this Fruit Loops but gay-er?
- It's all of them together with Pride, wait.
- With Tony the Tiger.
Known gay icon, Tony the Tiger.
- Do we think one of them is queer?
- Of course.
- These are the Kellogg universe.
- Yeah.
- Which is only second to the Marvel Universe.
- Oh, they support GLAAD.
- You upload the QR code,
then they donate $3 to GLAAD's anti-bullying fund.
- I like it, I like it.
- That's so great.
- Oh yes.
- I think it's good.
- That's Pride in a nutshell.
- Sugar.
- I just saw too.
He/him, she/her, they/them.
- Add your own.
- Oh.
- Oh, that's really cute.
- Oh, that's so cute.
- Yass!
My favorite so far.
- Yeah.
- I mean, same.
- Yes.
- I ate all my cereal, by the way.
- Oh.
- Pride pack Skittles, and they're all gray.
- And they're all gray.
Is that a joke?
Is this a joke or no?
- "Only one rainbow matters during Pride."
- So they took away their rainbow.
- Yeah, so we can shine, so we can be bright and stuff, aw.
- I love that.
- I also love Skittles.
- I'm still not, I'm not sold on the meaning.
- It's a bit confusing.
- Are there actually no colors on the inside?
There's no way.
- Wait, so it's just a bunch of gray Skittles?
- Oh my God.
- Oh wow.
- I don't know about it.
- Ooh, it's really jarring.
- If I'm looking at it,
it kinda just looks like I'm eating ash.
- You know what you got?
- What's the good one?
- I don't know, red?
- Yeah yeah yeah, I got red.
- I don't see this and go, "Oh, that's a Pride product."
- This tells me no gay people work at Skittles.
- That's a smart way for them to make sure
that they're doing the inclusion of the rainbow,
because their whole thing is about the rainbow.
So then for them to flip it,
that is such a creative way to flip it
in the best way for them.
- Whoever came up with it should get a raise.
- I like it.
Oh.
- Can I be in the middle?
I don't know.
No, I like it.
It's a quiet yes.
It's like a, "yes."
- I mean, maintained the original flavor.
Branding?
- It's a yes from me.
- Me too.
- [Producer] The next one we have might be helpful
after eating all that candy.
- Oh.
- See, now we're talking.
This is a product that gets it.
- What's the point?
- There's none, is the thing.
- Just say you wanna make money on us and go.
- They've raise over one million dollars
for its non-profit partners.
Read the fine print.
- Wow, I dare you to say a bad thing about Listerine now.
- They're perfect, they're beautiful,
they look like Linda Evangelista.
- So if I removed the whole thing,
even the rainbow would be taken away.
- Yeah.
- Oh my gosh, so picture this.
A homophobe going through the store.
- We're disposable.
- Rips it off.
- Stupid.
- You know the strips that you take out.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple!
Are you kidding me?
- Agreed.
- Listerine, hire me.
- I'm gonna have to pass.
- Yeah, I love Listerine but pass.
- I'm still giving it a yass, honestly.
- I will too.
- Okay, Pride backpack.
- Kind of cute.
- I mean, I love a small backpack.
- Wait, I think it's honestly kinda cute.
- It's not so overwhelming.
It's not so aggressive, in your face.
- I think.
- We're working with a lot of stuff here.
- To me, I feel like this was put together
last minute by the company.
- Going to a Pride parade having this little guy.
- She could last through Pride, a Pride event.
- Yeah.
- The stitching here.
- The quality,
the execution could've been a little bit better.
- The idea is there.
- I also like that they have the updated Pride flag
with the brown as well.
- If you saw me walking down the street,
what would you think?
Would you be like, "Oh my God, I love your bag"?
- No I wouldn't.
- You wouldn't?
- I'd probably be like, "Oh the rainbow"
and that's about it.
- I see that.
- What do you give the backpack?
- The backpack gets a yes from me.
- Agreed.
- I give it a yes.
- Oh my God.
- Who's that?
- Who is she?
- What is this?
- Oh, I love.
- I love how gay.
- Me too.
- Also I just love alcohol.
- I think that there's nothing actually gay about it.
- Everything is Pride.
The only thing that's not is the Barefoot itself.
- Still gonna taste like Barefoot.
- It's just gonna still be Barefoot.
- I think that it's great.
I think that they did a good job
in terms of directing your eye.
- Yeah, towards the thing.
- Towards the label, and it's also embracing this month.
- Do we need to try a full bottle?
- [Producer] Well, you weren't supposed to open it.
- I got excited.
- [Producer] The last people got a little excited.
- I think it's cute.
- I would've preferred a vodka.
- "Proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community since 1988",
and that's interesting to me because what before 1988?
Were they not an ally?
Barefoot probably started then.
Okay, this one gets a hard yes from me.
- I agree.
- Sorry girly.
- Sorry.
- Yass.
- Me too.
If you were throwing a Pride brunch,
that's the one that you wanna get.
- Okay.
- Oh!
- Oh my God.
Not this.
- Oh no.
- Not this!
- We have a live performance.
Are you kidding me?
- It's a choice.
- I'm gonna say I would never wear this out.
- I mean, easy.
- I mean, he's working the crowd.
Yeah, I've never been more yass about anything in my life.
- I know, agreed.
- See, the thing is is that you pull it off
really really well.
- Yeah, I could never.
- Can we know the price?
- [Producer] 49.99.
- Pricey.
- I was thinking kind of a steal.
- Now where would you wear this?
- Where wouldn't I wear it?
- Thank you, good answer.
- Can you model it some more for us real quick?
Two and three and four.
- What are your notes?
- What are my notes?
No notes.
I would honestly wear that.
- It's awful.
- I don't have an ounce of fashion in my bones.
- [Producer] Do you wanna try on the jacket?
- Stop it!
Can I really?
- It will clash perfectly with your floral shirt.
- What's the material?
Feels like a costume.
- Yeah.
- It's giving me umbrella material.
- So what do you think?
You're awfully silent now.
- Things have changed.
- Wow!
- Ooh, not this pocket, it's just a flap.
- I would give it a yes.
- Hard pass.
- I'll give it a yes either way.
- Even on me?
- Yeah, sure.
- That's my roommate.
I'm gonna give it a yass on you
and a yes on me 'cause you have to love yourself.
- Keep the tag on.
Return it.
- [Producer] So what do you think overall
with these products?
- Overall, disappointed.
- You changing a label for the month of June,
that's the least that you can do to show your allyship
and to show that you want to support.
- Clearly I'm an easy, what am I?
- The exact demographic they were going for.
- Seriously.
- Honestly, kinda pleasantly surprised.
- I do think it's a little bit of baiting.
- I like that these companies are trying.
- I think moral of the story is,
go into it with really low expectations
because most brands don't actually know
what gay (beep) we want.
- Right.
