- Oh, god. He's like, "Do it," and my brain's like, "Don't do it!"
- Ah! (knuckle cracks)
Why are you doing this to us?! - Smiling is contagious.
I felt like I was gonna smile.
♪ (rock intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we're gonna be taking on the ultimate challenge.
- The ultimate challenge? The challenge of all challenges?
I don't know if I'm ready for this. - (FBE) This will be
the Try Not to Gauntlet. - What is that?
- My best guess is it's a combination of all the Try Not to's,
so Try Not to Eat, Try Not to Get Scared,
Try Not to Look Away. - (FBE) You will have to get through
four different Try Not to challenges. - Oh my god. I'm so bad
at any Try Not to. I have terrible impulses,
terrible control at anything. I'm not gonna do well.
- (FBE) And if you lose any of the challenges,
there will be a punishment waiting for you at the end.
- That feels aggressive. Why can't we just be friends?
- (FBE) First up, we're gonna see if you can resist getting angry.
- Okay. I have a very positive outlook on life,
so I think I'll be fine on this one. - (woman) ...job market is tough.
And it's especially tough for college graduates.
- That is very true. - (woman) A huge number of them
are actually working at jobs that don't even require
a college degree. - She's so right.
- (woman) The problem seems to be that they lack-- they're getting
in their own way. This is the generation
that grew up with... - It's true.
- (woman) One of the most surprising things to me was the complaints
from recruiters and hiring managers about how millennials
present themselves physically in an interview.
They come overly casually dressed. - I mean, look at this.
- (woman) Maybe a young man doesn't wear a tie to interview
at a conservative organization. - Oh. I was just about
to badmouth her, but I'm not that mad.
I hate when people [bleep] talk down on people.
It's just so annoying. (buzzer)
- (woman) A woman wears super high heels.
This is not the way... - (scoffs) God forbid.
I can't show up to my job in heels and do my job?
What the [bleep]? Why not? (buzzer)
- (woman) This it not the way you're supposed to dress.
Some of them are just too casual. - I mean, that's just kind of
how sucky it is for us since we take jobs
that we just kind of have to take, because we need money.
(buzzer) - I'm gonna do my job
regardless of how I dress, and if you don't like that,
then... kiss my ass, 'cause, you know...
- (FBE) You sound angry. - Yeah. Ah, shoot! Dang it!
I guess I am angry! (buzzer)
- I have piercings and tattoos. I've heard plenty of stuff like,
"You'll never get a job!" And then joke's on them, (snaps)
'cause I got one. - (reporter) 43 million borrowers
in this country owe about one and a half trillion dollars
in federal student loan debt. - This is also correct.
- (man) I'm about 134... - Oh!
- (woman) 108,137... - OHHH! Where'd you go?!
You went to these fancy schools! - (woman) I owe $108,137.48
in student loans. - Those numbers are
really disappointing. I can't even play that off.
It's really-- ahh! (buzzer)
- (woman) My debt has continued to build up as one
of my main stressors in life.
- Relatable. - (woman) I sacrificed the dream job
to come home so I could take care of my bills.
- Well, I'm not angry. I'm just sad now.
- (man) I think the student debt crisis is here
with no end or change in sight. - Oh, yeah.
- (man) ...absolutely zero plan to tackle this at the federal level.
- It's like the cost of education is [bleep] insane.
It's [bleep] annoying. It's phenomenal! I love it.
Bring on the debt, baby! (buzzer)
- To be so stressed about money is the worst feeling in the world,
and you literally cannot enjoy life. It's fine. Figure it out.
Just work harder. Why can't you have four jobs?
Oh, you need sleep? Why? (buzzer)
- (FBE) Next up, we're gonna have you Try Not to Take Off
Your Headphones Challenge. - This one might be hard,
Try Not to Take Off Your Headphones, 'cause you guys play some
really annoying sound sometimes. So, I'm just gonna brace myself.
(knuckles cracking) - Ah!
Why are you doing this to us?!
- (both cracking knuckles) - That doesn't bother me.
- (both cracking knuckles) - (laughs) I love doing that.
- (gasps) Ah! - I kinda like cracking my knuckles.
- It's almost therapeutic. (chuckles) - I'm trying so hard not to focus
on the fact that it's a bone. - (laughs) Yeah!
- (both cracking knuckles) - I'm fine with this.
- Mm. I got through it. - (FBE) Mm-hmm.
- Love it. - I crack my knuckles all the time,
but it doesn't sound like that. That's something wrong, man.
- For that one, I feel like I could listen to that forever.
I love cracking my knuckles and doing that. I love doing that.
- (frog screeching)
- Oh, it's so cute! - (frog screeching)
- God. What? - Hello, guy.
- (frog screeching) - (laughs)
- Aww! - I think this is hilarious,
and I'm glad this part's not a Try Not to Laugh.
- Oh my god! It's still going. - How long? Stop it!
Oh, okay. Good. Whew! We were getting
to the breaking point real quick. - I don't even care!
I have permanent hearing damage! Could you play it again?
- (frog screeching) - Oh! Ah! (laughs)
- That was hard. It was cute at first.
I was like, "Awww... ohhh," and then it got really annoying
really fast. - (FBE) Next up is a Try Not
to Laugh or Smile Challenge. - Okay. So, I'm gonna do terrible
(school bell rings) - Oh, Monsters U.
- Oh my god. I love this movie! - (slug) I can't be late
on the first day! (panting heavily)
- (laughs) [Bleep]! No! (buzzer)
- (FBE) You're smiling. - (sighs)
(buzzer) - (laughs) I'm already laughing.
I forgot we were doing a Try not to Laugh.
(buzzer)
- [Bleep]. (laughs) (buzzer)
- (chuckles) This is such a good scene!
(buzzer) - (slug panting)
- Oh. I laughed. He's trying so hard!
(buzzer)
- I'm so immune to this little slug.
- (slug) Ooh. Ah. Ah! I made it!
- I mean, he made it. - (slug) My first day of class.
- Kudos to you. - (janitor) Eh, the school year's
over, son. You missed it. - Oh, no!
- (slug) Great. - It's one of the best
after-credit scenes, though. - Someone has to be the one
who laughs, and I'm okay if it's me. - Monsters U is a funny movie.
I don't think I could ever watch a clip from it and not laugh.
- (FBE) You have one more challenge to get through.
- I'm nervous. - (FBE) Try Not to
Sing Along Challenge. - These ones are so hard!
- (FBE) To make it even harder, these songs came out
around the time you were graduating high school
and about to become a college kid.
- Crap. They're gonna be bops, I know it!
- ♪ I'm gonna pop some... ♪ - Macklemore!
- I love Macklemore, but this is also my least favorite Macklemore song.
- ♪ Only got $20 in my pocket ♪ - Oh my god. I haven't heard
this song in SO long. - ♪ This is [bleep] awesome ♪
- This used to be my favorite song of all time.
- ♪ Walk up to the club... ♪ - Awww.
That's the most fun line to sing, 'cause you go "Whoop!"
- (FBE) You literally did the whoop! - Yeah, but I got cold.
(buzzer) - I think I can resist this one.
- This is a fun one. - ♪ Rollin' in hella deep ♪
- I'm singing all the words in my head.
- ♪ (hums along) ♪ - (FBE) Was that you singing along?
- No. (buzzer)
- That one, it almost got me 'cause of the dance.
- Macklemore used to be my favorite artist of all time,
and now I've heard that song so, so, so, so, so much,
where I'm like, "Ah, I don't need to sing it.
- ♪ Just a small town girl ♪ - Are you serious?!
- (sings along) ♪ Living in a lonely world ♪
(buzzer) - ♪ She took the... ♪
- This is cruel. - (lip syncs) ♪ ...going anywhere ♪
(buzzer) - ♪ Singer in a... ♪
- I love Glee. - ♪ A smell of wine
and cheap perfume ♪ - Should've played the original.
- ♪ Street lights, people ♪ - ♪ People ♪
- ♪ Living just to find emotion ♪ - She's a bop.
- ♪ Hiding ♪ - ♪ Hiding ♪
- Good, I'm not gonna dance and I'm not gonna sing.
- Just gonna... (lip syncs) ♪ Don't stop ♪ (snaps)
(buzzer) - ♪ Don't stop believing ♪
- I just have to remind myself I'm not a good singer.
- ♪ Hold on to that feeling ♪ - My body's like, "Do it,"
and my brain's like, "Don't do it!" - (sings along) ♪ Ahhh ♪
I belong there. (laughs) No, I love Glee.
That was gonna be-- I wasn't gonna win that one.
(buzzer) - Ah! It's so good.
That song just warms my heart. - (FBE) You are our ultimate
challenge champion. - Yay!
- (FBE) Looks like you lost. And like we mentioned before,
there will be a punishment. - Oh, [bleep]. I forgot about that.
I forgot there was a punishment. No! Usually, the punishment
is just you're a loser. - I forgot about that. Oh my god!
- (FBE) So, stereotypically, college students are known
to eat instant ramen noodles. - Yeah, that's true.
I had some for lunch. So... - That is true.
When you live in a dorm, you don't have a kitchen.
You just have a microwave. - (FBE) So, for this punishment,
that is kind of what you'll be doing except these will be fire noodles.
- Fire noodles. Like, spicy noodles? Ah, [bleep].
- Oh, man.
It smells spicy. Ah!
- Oh, yup. That is instantly spicy as soon as it touches your tong--
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. One bite in and I'm sweating.
- See, this is super evil, 'cause this actually looks
and smells really good, but lying underneath the surface
is destruction.
Swallowed that bitch whole.
- Hoo! Mm'kay.
Good times. - Okay.
It is-- it's pretty spicy. It's real good.
- Mm! Woo! (laughs)
This is hot. (gasps)
- I ain't no bitch.
(clears throat) God, the noodles are good though, low-key.
- (coughs) [Bleep]. It's so good though, dude.
Instant noodles for college kids, they're just so dank.
- Yup. See, the thing is it tastes good...
but it hurts. And I'm not a little bitch
when it comes to spicy. I've done the Carolina Reaper.
I've done ghost peppers.
I've done everything. - (FBE) All right.
So finally, you're done with the Try Not to Gauntlet.
- I'm like-- it's a lot harder
than it looked. I can tell you for sure,
it's definitely an experience. - (FBE) Which challenge was
the hardest for you? - The Try Not to Get Mad!
- It's-- sorry. It's kind of hard to think with my mouth--
it's burning. - Try Not to Laugh is impossible,
'cause even if you're mad, you could still do your best
to hide it, but laughing, you just can't. You have to laugh.
- It's between the Try Not to Laugh and the Try Not to Sing Challenge.
Those two are just-- that's my kryptonite.
I'm not usually a mad person, and I usually can take
a little bit of pain, but just... if I'm laughing,
I wanna laugh with everyone. You don't wanna hold back laughter.
