- No, I don't wanna know that one! (laughs)
I don't wanna know! - My defense mechanism
is laughing through things in life.
- This is getting creepy! I should've done a Try Not to Laugh!
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) All right. So, our viewers might notice that things
in this episode look a little different.
- Yes, very different. - We're on the set for Epic Night.
- (FBE) We're on set right now of the new FBE and Eko show,
Epic Night. Hey! - Hello.
- (FBE) And you're in the show. - And I'm in the show.
- I actually play a character in Epic Night.
And I'm in a couple episodes, and it was super fun,
interactive content. - Epic Night was my acting debut,
and it felt good to really get into character and get
to film with my boyfriend actually, so it was great.
- (FBE) Well, since Epic Night is an interactive series,
where you get to choose where the story goes,
we thought it only appropriate that we would have you guys
play a Try Not to with a twist. - Oh! Okay, okay.
This is interesting. - (FBE) This one is going to be
a Choose Your Own Try Not to Challenge.
- Oh, clever! - (FBE) So, what we're gonna do
is we're gonna start off with the first challenge,
and you guys will all do the same first challenge.
- Okay. - (FBE) But then after that,
you will be in control of which Try Not to challenge
you'll be taking on. - Oh! Okay, okay. I like that.
- (FBE) The videos shown in each challenge will be
the same for everyone, but which Try Not to's
you end up participating in will completely depend
on what you choose to take on. - Okay.
- (FBE) First up will be a Try Not to Laugh Challenge.
The rules are you cannot smile or laugh.
- I'm losing. I'm losing!
- Oh, jeez. Oh, the baby's face. - Oh, that's a terrifying face swap.
- (woman off-screen laughing) - (FBE) You're already smiling.
- I'm sorry. It's just so scary. (buzzer)
- Ah, yes. The face swap. - (woman off-screen laughing)
Oh my god. - (laughs)
- (FBE) You lost. - I lost. [Bleep].
(buzzer) - What is-- I hate it.
- (laughs) - (FBE) You lost already!
- I mean... (chuckles)
It kind of looks like the Benjamin Button thing.
(buzzer) - That baby does not know
what is happening. - (FBE) Now, the power is
in your hands. - Oh.
- (FBE) So, you get to pick if you wanna take on
another Try Not to Laugh, a Try Not to Sing,
Try Not to Move, or Try Not to Take Off
Your Headphones. - Try Not to Take Off Your Headphones.
- I'll do a Try Not to Sing. - Headphones, 'cause they're already
on my head. How could I possibly lose them?
- Try Not to Sing. - Let's do another Try Not to Laugh.
- How would I not move? That's fascinating.
- I've never done a Try Not to Take Off Your Headphones.
I feel like it's gonna be painful, but I've never done one before,
and I wanna do it now.
- (man chewing loudly) - Listen, man, I'm kinda hungry.
- See, this is disturbing to me. - This is my worst-- no!
I'm like-- no. (buzzer)
- Wow! - (man chewing loudly)
Ah! It sounds like he's making glue.
- It's annoying, but not enough for me to go like, "I need
to take this off." You know what I mean?
I also have no soul. So, there's also that aspect to it.
- ♪ It's bananas ♪ ♪ B-A-N-A-N-A-S ♪
- (FBE) Is this hard? - Nah.
- ♪ 'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl ♪
♪ I ain't no hollaback girl ♪ - I feel myself wanting
to bob a little bit, though. I'm not gonna lie. This is a jam.
- This music video has been so beneficial
to the American education system. Frankly, that's the only way
we've remembered how to spell "bananas."
- I won. Boom! Give me the trophy!
- Oh.
All you gotta do is step over.
Uh-oh. Oh [bleep].
Don't you dare cross that line.
(laughs) What the [bleep]? (buzzer)
- Is it gonna be a jumpy one?
All this water. It's gonna be-- oh, no.
A baby's down there.
Oh, it's gonna be a jumpy one. That's what you guys are doing.
Oh, I moved to look at you. - (FBE) You did.
- It wasn't that scary. (buzzer)
- (FBE) Now, you get to choose another one. The options
are the same. - I think I'm gonna do
another one of these. - Let's try a Try Not to Move.
- Move for 200, Alex. - Let me try the Laugh.
- Try Not to Take Off Your Headphones. - Let's do Laugh.
- Try Not to Take Your Headphones Off. I haven't done one of those
in a long time.
- Is that poop?
No, that's barbecue. - (man chewing loudly)
- Whoa! Whoa. - Oh, it's ASMR?!
OH! My girlfriend loves this, but I hate it!
- (snickers) Fam, what are you eating?
Shut the [bleep] up! (chuckles) No!
Oh, I did it!
(alarm blaring)
- (laughs)
How did she discover this?
- Not movi-- oh, [bleep]! I didn't know it was gonna be scary.
- It's very pretty. I'll give them that.
It just feels like someone lost their GoPro, though.
- No, I don't wanna know that one! I don't wanna know!
It's gonna be a [bleep] shark or something.
(buzzer)
- Okay. Just jump-- okay.
(muffled screaming) Yeah. Listen.
We've all been there, man. - There was no way I was making it
through that video in any alternate universe.
- He's so cute! (buzzer)
- (chuckles) What the [bleep] is this dog doing?
What? What is he-- what?
I lost. I lost. (buzzer)
- (FBE) All right. Next one, sing, laugh, move, or take off
your headphones? - Let's go with sing.
- Oh, take off headphones. - Let's diversify the playing field.
Let's do singing. - Let's do a Try Not
to Laugh again. - Let's do a Try Not to Sing.
- Let me do sing. I can do this. - Let's do a Try Not to Laugh.
Those are actually the hardest for me.

This is more a try not to spell than try not to sing.

- I still, to this day, have no idea what this song's about.
- Like, I can control this. You know what I mean?
It's not challenging. - (FBE) Wow. You're a tough cookie.

is emotionless dirtbag.

You can't not bop to this! (buzzer)
- Oh my god. Animal content gets me the most.
- Adorable.
- There's some sort of stand-down happening right now.
- So gentle.
(whimpers and cries) So [bleep] cute.
- We did it. Normally, animal content is what gets me the most,
but I think the more that I talk to myself, the more that I'm able
to hold it back.
- (giggles)
- (man chewing loudly) - That's hilarious.
Ah, it's so funny.
Do people watch this, like search this stuff?
(laughs) I kind of thought that was fun.
- (FBE) All right, man, you've got one more.
Which do you wanna take on? - Let me do move.
- I think I wanna do a third Try Not to Laugh.
- Laughter. That's fun. And I'll probably lose.
- A Try Not to Move again. And I'm gonna just hope
that it's not a scary one. - I'm just gonna spin the wheel.
Pick it. Brr, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
- (FBE) You're going to do a laugh challenge.
- Okay. - I haven't done a Try Not to Move.
- (FBE) So, do you wanna do that? - I think that's the only one left.
- Let me do another Try Not to Laugh.
- (FBE) So, this Try Not to Laugh is actually custom just for you,
and I think this might do the trick. - It probably will.
It's not that hard to make me laugh.
- (past FBE) You're reacting to this. - (Karan) Oh my god.
- (FBE) You're smiling already. - (past FBE) So, go ahead
and turn on the computer. - (Karan) Okay. It's been a while.
(laughs) Everything looks so dull and ancient.
Oh, gosh. I think I already broke it. - (past FBE) Well, you needed
to connect the phone line to your modem to get...
- (FBE) You don't look amused, and yet you're smiling.
- So, what you guys don't realize is my defense mechanism
is laughing through things in life, (chuckles) so this is painful
to watch. (buzzer)
There's nothing more painful than the recorded memory
of your childhood. ♪ (whimsical music) ♪
- NOOOO! (laughs) (buzzer)
- (chuckles) That's...
That's when it really kicks in.

- Oh, it's gonna be something gross. Oh my god. Oh, I don't wanna look!
I don't wanna look! I don't wanna look!
I don't wanna look! (buzzer)

and it's such a fear of mine that seeing someone else do it,

I was trying to psych myself out. (buzzer)
- Is this a scary movie? Ah, [bleep].
- Cinder blocks. Is there gonna be a dead body?
- Hmm. There's a baby stroller. Oh, this is a [bleep] horror film.
Relax. It's not anything-- (muffled screaming)
Did that! - (FBE) But then you moved your head.
- But that was after the scare, right? It went away.
- (FBE) But the video was still happening.
- Ah, [bleep]. (buzzer)
- This is getting creepy! I should've done a Try Not to Laugh!
OOO-KAY! [Bleep] bitch!
[Bleep] you guys. (buzzer)
- (FBE) So, for Jacob and Jessie, we have one more video
we wanna show you just for fun that Karan filmed with FBE
years back. - Okay, got it.
- (past FBE) You're reacting to this. - (chuckles)
- (Karan) Oh my god. - (laughs)
- (Karan) You've gotta be kidding me. - He hasn't aged.
- Look at him! - (Karan) Everything looks
so dull and ancient. - Ah! You are now watching
Disney Channel. - (Karan) Before they could
get computers. That seems like way too much work, though.
I'm sorry, this is just really blowing my mind.
- Is it really blowing his mind? I don't believe him.
I'm gonna tell him about that. - It was actually pretty cool,
'cause I got to do a lot of the React things that you guys
do on your channel. - Usually, I'm just being showed
a bunch of videos, where, this, I actually have the power.
And that's kind of like Epic Night, where you have a whole adventure,
and you could choose how the night goes.
- You can watch it multiple times and have a completely different
show basically depending on the decisions you make.
Also, you know, you might see me and a few other friends
that you may recognize from the React channel in the show.
- People think, you know, you just get to select an option,
like, "Oh, go left or right," and that's about it.
But depending on the decisions that you make, it depends
on how our characters react throughout the storyline.
So, it's a lot more complex than fans think it is
and a lot more funny and ridiculous. You should check it out.
But also, I need to pay rent, so please watch.
