- Oh! Oh, god!
- They're so cute.
♪ (ragtime intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we're having you take on
one of the Internet's favorite challenges.
- Okay.
- (FBE) It's the Reddit 50/50 Challenge.
- The Reddit 50/50 Challenge? I don't think I've done that one.
- Yeah, that's a fun one.
- (FBE) It's called "50/50" because when you click the link,
there is a 50/50 chance that you will either see something
nice or something that you'd never want to see again.
- Oh.
- (FBE) But this time, we've added a little twist.
- Thanks. I think you're twisted!
- (FBE) We're also gonna combine this
and have it be a try not to aww challenge...
- Oh, yeah, not to be, "Aww, that's so sweet."
- (FBE) ...and a try not to look away challenge.
- Oh. (sighing) Okay.
- (FBE) If something cute pops up, you cannot smile or say aww,
but if it's something gross, you have to try not to look away.
- Okay.
- This one, I got three different things
I got to go through.
I know I'm gon mess up.
- "A happy old man playing with a toy gun."
- "Callous removal on feet." Okay, I see.
That's a real contrast.
- Uh-- oh.
- Ew!
- I had a feeling it would be this.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
- (groaning) (buzzer)
- Yeah, I'm looking away. (buzzer)
- I'm not going to look away. I am going to bear it.
- I don't think you're supposed to do that.
- It is super gross. (buzzer)
- Just get a pedicure! (buzzer)
- Be careful right there.
Aaah, god! Yeah, yeah, that's the hard part.
- (groaning) Thank God. Oh, my god.
That is gross!
- I don't like that at all.
- That was disgusting.
Thank you for sharing, by the way.
- "Scraping dandruff off of hair."
- "A bulldog getting a massage." I hope I get the bulldog
getting massaged.
- (laughing) Well, I lost.
(buzzer)
- (chuckling)
(clearing throat) No, don't laugh.
(sheepishly) I'm sorry. (buzzer)
- It's cute.
- He has a lot of ruffles.
- Aww, and it's a bulldog puppy.
I'm so glad I got the dog being massaged.
(buzzer)
- He's so cute!
He's just a-- oh, I can't say aww, huh?
(buzzer)
- Aww, that's so cute! (buzzer)
- (laughing) Cutesy, cutesy, coo! (buzzer)
- I'm sure that dog feels good.
- Bulldogs are not exactly my favorite critter.
Maybe if it was lying on his back and getting his tummy rubbed.
- "Baby panda sneezing." That will make me aww.
God, pandas are so adorable.
- "Spiders emerging from egg sac."
- Oh, god! I hope it's not an egg sac.
♪ (creepy music) ♪
- It's the spiders.
- Yep, that's what it is all right.
- Nyugh.
- Oh, wow!
- Oh, my god.
- That's nature.
- Yeah, that's how they're born.
- I'm not really grossed out by spiders too much.
It's Mother Nature.
- Can I get something and just -- (grunting)
kill all of them!
(clang!) - (voice-over) Dark!
- "Baby polar bear growth montage." Ooh, that'll be interesting.
- "Man profusely vomiting blood."
Ugh...
- Please, dear God, baby polar bear!
♪ (cute music) ♪ - Oh, all right.
- Aww, cute, It's a baby polar bear.
I lost on that one. Too cute!
(buzzer)
- Aww. Oh, damn it!
(buzzer)
- Aww.
Oh! (buzzer)
- They're so cute!
- Yeah, he's cute.
What are you gonna say, he's not?
- Aww.
He just got too cute for me. (buzzer)
- Aww. (buzzer)
- That's precious.
- Aww, the little tongue hanging out.
Oh, come on! (buzzer)
- Am I boring?
- I love polar bears. I LOVE polar bears.
- "Gross, infected ingrown toenail." That's hard to say and hard to watch.
- "Baby tries ice cream for first time."
All right, I hope it's the baby.
- Eww, yucky.
- Okay, it's a gross, infected toenail.
- (queasily) Mmmm.
I don't want to see feet. (buzzer)
- Oh, yeah. Okay. I lost.
(buzzer)
- I have to look away because I'm going to have lunch after this.
(buzzer)
- Needs some immediate health care.
- That's a podiatrist's dream.
- I don't know. I thought it'd be worse.
- I can watch the gross stuff. I just can't watch the cute stuff.
- "Dog stealing sled from a kid and rides off with it."
- Oh, gosh.
"Up close eyeball removal surgery."
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
- Oh, my god!
I have been through this with one my cats.
Aaaah, I don't want to see that one!
- Oh, thank god.
- Amazing.
- Awww! That is neat. Look at him go!
(buzzer)
- So cute! Oh, wow!
- It jumps on. Yeah, that's just too cute.
(buzzer)
- Well, look at that.
That's a pretty smart little dog there.
- Oh, look at him go. Cool.
Good for him.
- I'm from the midwest and that snow brought back
happy memories.
- Didn't want to make you aww, but I decided not to.
- This one was really easier because it was far enough away
that you couldn't see how adorable that little doggy face was.
- "Girl can't stop sneezing."
I don't think I've seen this girl sneeze.
- "Macho paraglider impaled by tree."
Ay!
- Nobody wants to see that.
- Oh!
I'm sorry. (buzzer)
- Oh, right though his shoulder!
Oh! Oh, god! (buzzer)
- (sighing) God. (buzzer)
- Oh, dear God in heaven.
He seems to be handling it very well.
- That's got to hurt.
- I've seen those things in the ER.
- Oh, that's not real. That's fake.
- This could be a camera trick, for sure.
- Who wants to see that? Oh, my gosh.
That was disgusting.
- It was kind of hard.
I was so stunned that he looked so calm
because I know how I would be looking.
I'd be like, "Aaaah!" I'd be in hysterics.
- "Husky getting excited about the ice cream truck for two minutes."
- "Spear fishing gone wrong."
- If there's blood in the next one, I'm dreading it.
- (owner) Sergio? - Oh, so cute!
(Husky whining) - (owner) What?
- Awww. Oh, pffft!
(laughing) I said "aww." (buzzer)
- (Husky whining) - (owner) What?
- It sounded like he said "I want some."
- It almost sounded like he spoke.
♪ (ice cream truck music) ♪
- Awww. (buzzer)
- Awww! He like ice cream! (buzzer)
- So cute.
My buddy's got a dog just like that.
It's so lovable. (buzzer)
- It's a husky. They like cold weather,
so that's why he wants ice cream. (buzzer)
- He's smelling it all. (chuckling) (buzzer)
- Interesting.
- That was easier to get through.
- Pretty cute. That's a smart dog.
- I'm very happy I didn't have to watch
spear fishing gone wrong because that sounds frightening.
- "Soldier returns home to an excited dog."
I see a lot of that on TV.
- "Tongue cyst removed and cut open."
(queasily) Ooh.
- Remove it and then cut it open?
Well, all right. Let's see what we got.
- Okay. Oh! Mm-mm.
Not gonna watch it. Sorry. (buzzer)
- (cameraman) Reckon this bloke's tongue can make porridge.
- Oh, my god!
- Can I not look? - (FBE) You can look away.
- Yeah, because as I said, I'm gonna have lunch!
(buzzer)
- (doctor) Oh, but that reminds me saying--
- Oops.
- (FBE chuckling) - I blew it.
(buzzer)
- Wow.
- Oh, boy.
Well, I'll never have an éclair again.
- Oh, yeah, that's just really cool, all the pus coming out of the cyst.
Yeah, that's really-- okay, that's enough.
I've seen enough. (buzzer)
- That's a lot of pus in there.
- (doctor) What do you think of that? - Pffft!
Oh, I think that's really repulsive and disgusting.
- (grumbling) Look at that pus.
- (doctor mumbling) - That's disgusting.
Oh, dear lord.
- So, somehow all that white pus got in the middle of that tongue.
That's weird.
- That was not easy.
They were talking about making porridge.
I mean, jeez!
- (FBE) You won! - I won this one, hands down.
- Certain things fascinate me.
Certain things just captivate me.
This was very good. This was exciting.
- (FBE) So finally, now that you've tried both of the challenges
at the same time, is it harder to try not to aww
or try not to look away?
- It's harder to try not to look away, especially if it's a gory scene.
- To not look away because those aren't pleasing things to see.
- It's harder not to aww because whenever I see cute things,
I always say aww. (laughing)
- It's more difficult with the "aww."
When there's joy and when there's happiness,
it's just natural that your emotions come out.
- It's harder to try not to aww.
If you can grit through the disgusting stuff,
you can feel like I'm tough!
And if you aww, you go, oh, see, I'm a sensitive soul.
