- Pet presents are the best things that you can do on Christmas,
'cause it's a family event and then you add
another family member.
- (FBE) Do you need a tissue? - Maybe.
I'm not crying, I'm just teary.
- ♪ (industrial intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we have a holiday themed
challenge for you. - Ooh.
Dude, I love holidays.
- I was happy about the holiday part
and not so much about the challenge part.
- Oh my gosh, let's go. I should have wore
an elf hat or something. It would have been awesome.
- (FBE) This is going to be a holiday themed
Try Not to Cry Challenge. - No, okay.
Wait a minute.
- No. That's the worst,
'cause holidays are so emotional.
- Okay, this is easy. I don't really cry a lot.
- (FBE) After each video, whether it made you cry or not,
we're gonna have you rate it on a scale from one to five
based on how emotional you thought they were.
- Okay, well I'm super emotional anyway.
It's either nothing or I'm gonna start crying.
Good thing I'm wearing waterproof eyeliner today.
- (FBE) We also have something for you.
- I'll take this. See, whenever I use these
in the try not to cry videos, it's not for the actual tissues,
I just like holding things close to me when I'm sad.
- Elton John, come on. - ♪ (piano music) ♪
- Ah, [bleep].
- This commercial.
- ♪ It's a little bit funny this feeling inside ♪
- I love this song.
- I grew up listening to so much Elton John.
- I wanna take out a lighter right now.
- Oh wow, that's cool how they're bouncing back and forth.
- ♪ We both could live ♪ - Just him going through
his whole career.
- ♪ I know it's not much ♪ - This song already has me
in the feels.
- He gets younger and younger.
- ♪ My gift is my song and this one's for you ♪
- Aw.
- Oh my God, I love this.
- ♪ And you can tell everybody ♪ - Ah [bleep], I got chills, man.
God, this hits home as a musician.
- ♪ Now that it's done ♪ - She's so proud.
- ♪ I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind ♪
- Oh, it's young Elton John.
- Wow, so sweet.
- Please tell me it's a piano. Yes.
- Oh my gosh. Look at his mom.
You got it, Elton.
- Ah, it's a great video. I'm not grabbing the Kleenex
just yet, though.
- See, this isn't making me cry, this is just making me happy.
His first love for the piano.
- Aw, that's kinda sad. My throats already starting
to get like, (clearing throat)
- My eyes are watering up. I'm not full on boo-hooing,
but man that was good. I liked that.
- I didn't cry, but I'm definitely teary.
It is touching. Just showing the transition of age
always gets me because it makes me think of
my family, my mom, all that stuff.
- (FBE) Do you need a tissue? - Maybe.
I'm not crying, I'm just teary.
- (FBE) So, where would you rate on the emotional scale,
one to five? - A one.
It was more happy feeling.
- Four.
- Three.
- That's a five, 'cause I'm a musician
I know exactly what that feeling is
when you first start and then you look back.
- Three.
- Three, but it's not sad emotions.
I feel warm inside.
- I'll give it a two.
- Three.
- I would say that's a three.
- I'ma go three. My stomach still drops
when I watch that. I wanna go buy a piano now.
- (cameraman) You might wanna read that note.
- (woman) Yeah, I figured.
- (cameraman) Read it out loud. - Yeah, so we can all hear.
- (woman) "Ha ha, payback. I told you I'd get you back
for the super wrapped gift card and the ice trick someday."
- Is he gonna propose to her or something?
- (woman) "Okay, I think I've ranted long enough
to distract you adequately. Now look at Josh,
'cause he has your real gift." - Oh man.
Got 'eem.
- Aw, I love proposals.
- (woman) You're kidding, right? - Say yes, say yes, say yes.
- It's too much emotion.
- He got a box of rock and now you have your own
big rock on your finger.
- Yay. She said yes.
- Aw. I think Christmas proposals
are the best proposals, 'cause everyone's so cozy
and everything's lit up and it's just love.
- That one was just happy. I didn't get sad on that one.
It was just more jolly and happy, so that was good.
- That was the least emotional proposal I think I've ever seen.
- That's cute. That was a three.
- A one.
- Three.
- One.
- Two.
- I'm gonna give that one a two.
- A one. She turned around
and he was like, "Will you marry me?"
That was it.
- Two.
- It was a one for me.
- I'd give that a two maybe. It wasn't as intricate
as the last one, but it was nice.
- "1986." Santa?
- I love the retro look.
- Oh, this is from a kid's POV I guess?
- I love how much Christmas is so prevalent no matter your age.
It's an aspect of your life.
- Cute.
- Oh, first girlfriend? Oh, his parents are getting older.
- Ah, they're getting older. No.
- Preggers.
- Wow. Look at that.
Cute little baby.
- The memory ones always start to get me.
- Ah, he's paying it back. Now he's Santa.
Very cool.
- I love dads that dress as Santa. That's so nice.
That's such a cute family dynamic.
- I feel like the Grinch because I'm just not
emotional right now.
- Whoo. Man, I'm feeling something.
These growing up ones are-- they get you right in the heart.
- Okay, I'm crying. I'm crying a little bit.
Not that much. I'll take a singular tissue.
I don't know. That one just hurts.
I don't know. I always get really emotional
around the holidays, just 'cause my brother passed away
and it's like-- I don't know.
Some things get you more than others.
Yeah. I'm crying now.
- I'll give it a four.
- Two. I'm the worst.
It takes a lot for me to cry.
- Three.
- A four for sure.
- I'm gonna have to give it a one.
I really haven't cried on something in a long time.
- Four. I wish my dad dressed as Santa.
Not to put you on blast, you did fine.
- I'd probably put that at a two.
- Two. Anything that has to do
with family gets me in the feels.
- Five. Just pulled at the heartstrings
just the right way.
- This was another five. I need to call my mom
after this, Jesus. Going back in time,
that gets me and especially with the family
and you see your parents and you see how they saw you
when you were a kid, you're like, ah.
It's the circle of life, man.
- Is it a puppy thing? Oh, no.
- (girl screams) - Oh my God.
I knew it was gonna be a puppy thing.
- (girl screams) - Oh God, that scared me.
- How cute. Oh my gosh.
- (girl) Is it alive? - It's al--
Frankenstein.
- It's alive. It's alive!
- (camerawoman) Okay, go ahead.
- Oh, it's got a blanket.
- (camerawoman) You can open it now.
- That's so cute. We don't deserve dogs.
- (girl) Puppy! - Oh my gosh.
I'm the same way. I love my dog.
- (girl) Is he ours? - (camerawoman) He's ours.
- It's funny that that always happens.
When kids get dogs, they cry their face off.
- That's honestly the best Christmas gift you could
probably get is a puppy. I'm waiting for my gift
to bark at me.
- Is she gonna cry too? Oh my God.
- The dog's probably freaked out. Oh wow.
She's really bawling. Oh.
- They boy's loving it. He's like, yes.
- Okay, see. I would be the brother laughing.
I'm sorry.
- I think pet presents are the best things that you can do
on Christmas, 'cause it's a family event
and then you add another family member.
- Oh my God, that is the cutest thing.
Oh my God, he's in the little bin.
- (girl) There's a puppy on the front porch!
- Who left their dog on our steps?
- I always wanted a puppy when I was a kid,
but I'm allergic, sadly.
- The puppy's like, "Get me out!"
- (girl) Oh my God, we got a puppy!
- It's a Christmas miracle for them.
- (girl) Daddy! - All right, that got me,
'cause she said "daddy."
- Aw. Oh my gosh.
- That was so wholesome of every single aspect.
- That last one got me. When it's the connection
between the father and the kid, yeah, that gets me.
- I would give that one a two.
- Four.
- That was funny to me. It's a one.
- Three. That's just happy.
Get me a puppy and then I'll cry.
- Four.
- That's so cute. That's obs a five.
- A one. It's the happy stuff,
so happy that they have this puppy,
but I couldn't stop laughing at the reactions,
'cause they were just great.
- Three.
- Five. That's borderline
grabbing a Kleenex.
- Ah, that's gotta be a four. That physically pains me
just 'cause I was smiling so much for so long.
- (FBE) So finally, for the holidays,
for many people, this is an emotional time of year.
For you personally, do you think it's a good time
to let out a good cry or are the holidays
just not the time for tears? - It's always a good time
to let out a good cry.
- The holidays are the time to come together with your family,
which can often be stressful, which makes people wanna cry.
- The holidays are the most deserved time for tears,
'cause everybody's stressed out and running around
and all your family's around. It's the best time to cry.
- I'm always crying. Always crying more
during the holidays. It's a very powerful
and moving thing to do and I think it's really healing.
It brings peace and clarity, so everyone needs to have
a good cry this winter.
