- Oh wait, no, no, no, no, I can't do this one.
It was just like all over his face, and looked disgusting.
- They were in his face.
- Yeah. - (laughs) They were in his mouth.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So for this episode, we're gonna be showing you guys
clips from around the internet
surrounding people's different phobias and fears.
- Oh goodness.
- (FBE) To see what makes you guys want to turn your heads.
- No, I definitely can not do this.
No, this is not the one.
- I feel like I've been so desensitized over the years,
just with the internet.
I don't know what you could show me
that would make me really want to look away.
- I should be fine with all this stuff, you know?
Watching anime and everything, it gets weird.
- Oh, that is true, that's true.
♪ (tense music) ♪ - Oh my God, why?
- Ooh, spider eggs. - Cut that sound.
- How did you know that was spider eggs?
I didn't even know that. - It's super loud.
- I've seen those before, they're terrible.
- Okay, the audio is scarier than the video.
- Yeah, I was like the audio is scarier.
- Yeah, the video's not that scary.
- Those were kinda cute, they look like little furry things.
- No, that's a burn 'em all to death.
- Yeah, I was like I don't know about cute.
- (FBE) Well, hopefully that first video didn't make you too jumpy.
If you couldn't tell, this represents arachnophobia, or the fear of spiders,
and some experts theorize that this phobia developed
through evolutionary process since spiders could threaten
or harm our health in the past.
- That makes sense, I mean, they give me the heebie-jeebies.
- There's some spiders that eat birds and stuff.
I'll pass.
♪ (tense music) ♪ - Oh, fear of heights.
That's not that bad. - Fear of heights.
- This thing always makes my palms sweat so much.
- I don't get vertigo that easily.
- I'll watch it just fine,
but my palms are already moist. - This is so cool!
- Yeah. - Alright, this is badass.
(Will laughs)
- I mean, we're all saying like we're not that scared right now,
but if we were there... - See, my hands would be sweating.
- Yeah. - Slip!
- My hands are all clammy now. It feels wonderful.
- This is so cool, I'm loving it.
- Oh, he's not even like... - That is too much trust.
That's trust. - ...strapped in?
- No, he has no harness. - Nah.
- That's just dangerous.
- (FBE) Daniel, when you were checking your sweaty palms,
did you look away from the laptop?
- I did, 'cause I was curious to see how sweaty my palms were,
so I guess that was a glance,
but I was not bothered by what I was looking at.
- Do we need a referee?
- (FBE) Exactly. (group laughs)
...is gonna have to do a slow-mo recall on that.
You know, we'll see. - Okay, gladly.
(buzzer rings)
- (FBE) So this is a clip that would definitely
scare anyone who's afraid of heights, that is also known as acrophobia.
- Yeah, that's definitely a very rational fear.
(water gurgles)
- These are gonna be like jump scares.
- Oh, no, this is like underwater.
- Yeah, this is like the deep sea, right?
Fear of the sea?
- I feel like people are scared of just the ocean in general.
- Like the yeah, deep water? - But look how...
- Boo, it's Jason!
- I mean have you guys gone SCUBA diving in poor visibility?
It's not fun, when you can't see anything.
Yeah, there's gonna be something. I did not expect.
- Oh, why's it? - Yeah, I don't like the child thing.
Uh uh. - Wait, do you guys notice
the cart was chained to bricks? No one else realized that?
Yep, hello. (Geneva and Sabrina laugh)
- Was that Will?
Oh my gosh, that's the kid from Stranger Things, right?
Wow, season five. - Was it?
(buzzer rings) - No, I'm just messing with you.
- Oh I believed, I literally believed, I have not seen Stranger Things.
- (FBE) This clip could be terrifying to someone who has aquaphobia,
which is defined as the persistent, unwarranted irrational fear of water,
often linking it to the possibility of drowning.
- I feel like if you're that deep down,
it's like a rational fear. - Yeah.
Or also if you don't know how to swim,
which a lot of people don't know how to do.
- Yeah, like me. I don't know how to swim.
- Really?
- (FBE) Your dad still hasn't taught you, Will?
- No! - Will, I'll teach you!
- It's been months. - Oh my gosh!
- But then again, we don't have a pool or anything,
and COVID, we're staying inside with our masks on.
Can't wear a mask in a pool.
- Oh hell no! I hate this stuff!
- God, what an awful procedure.
Can you just imagine feeling that needle go up your schnoz?
- That's how you get the vaccine for COVID.
- That's not it, don't say that! Don't scare people!
- I wanna look away so bad.
- I don't wanna watch this anymore! - Alright.
- I'm curious about this procedure. - No no no!
Not the other side! (screams)
What's going on? - I can't do this.
- I'm like literally nauseous.
- You could tell he's not liking, he's like in pain.
- (FBE) You can always look away. - No!
- No, that's one of the most unpleasant experiences...
- We don't look away. - A person could go through.
- But why is it going like in, I don't know what is happening,
and there's like the camo.
- Is this what Kylie Jenner did to get her nose done?
(Sabrina laughs) - (doctor) You feeling that?
- (patient) Uh uh. - (doctor) Sweet.
- Oh! - Oh, okay.
That one was the hardest, by far. - Wow.
- Like how was he just so like calm about it?
He's like ah, I've done this before. - It was some discipline.
That's what that was.
- (FBE) This clip is representing for people who have trypanophobia,
which is the fear of needles, and is a super common fear.
- So we are learning a lot about each other today.
- I have this fear, like, I can't get a blood test,
or like get my finger pricked, but I have multiple piercings.
So I don't understand why I'm like that.
- Like most kids that didn't mind getting poked by a needle as a kid
have tons of tattoos now.
- Oh wait, no, no, no, no! - Oh, I had to watch Tori...
(buzzer rings) - I can't do this one.
- ...sort of do this on an old challenge.
- I'm done.
- The fact that they're in his mouth is really rough.
- What are they? - I know, it's in the back
of his throat. - Are they beetles?
- This is somebody who takes pleasure out of having beetles and...
It's a spider inside his mouth. - Alright...
- There's two spiders in his mouth.
- Okay, you're making it grosser, by...
- Come on, man. - I just thought...
I feel like his face is calming me down.
- That's such a big bug to keep in your mouth!
- But he's like so calm about it.
He's like you know what?
This is just another day at work. - Come on, bro!
- That's rough. - Eat some chicken, man.
Oh my gosh. (Daniel laughs)
- It was just like all over his face, and looked disgusting.
- They were in his face. - Yeah.
- (laughs) They were in his mouth! - Yeah, and like,
I didn't even, I got to hear everything
which my imagination just made it worse.
- That was a big spider in his mouth.
- There were a lot of nasty [censored] in there.
- (FBE) This creepy crawly video represents the fear of insects,
also known as entomophobia.
This fear is actually relatively common in the U.S.,
particularly in urban areas like L.A. where we're based,
since it's more uncommon to run into tons of bugs.
- That's good. - It's definitely a cultural thing,
because people in other countries just eat bugs for fun.
- I feel that, but I feel like if it's on the ground,
you're not gonna go and pick it up.
(birds tweeting)
- Oh, what are we looking at here?
- Is this a snake? - That's a snake.
- Oh, okay, so... - It's a slimy!
- I've seen this video before. - Yeah.
- I've seen this video too, Daniel.
I've seen this. - Yeah.
- Is he eating something? - Not quite.
- Or is gonna like... - (man) Boo!
- Ah, damn it! (buzzer rings)
(group laughs)
- Now some people literally couldn't even handle the beginning.
Like, I've had friends that are afraid of snakes,
they can't even look at videos of snakes.
It freaks them out. - That was a big ass snake.
- I got my fear of snakes from Snakes On A Plane.
- (Samuel) I have had it with these mother [censored] snakes
on this mother [censored] plane!
- I watched it, had a fear for about a year or two.
- (FBE) So ophidiophobia is the fear of snakes,
and it's one of the most common fears around the world,
with 56% of adults citing that they have this phobia.
- I mean, that's not surprising.
That's gotta be like a primal thing. - I think that's rational.
It's like I don't wanna get bit by a snake.
- Oh [censored], David F. Sandberg.
- Oh! - This is great.
- Oh, afraid of the dark? - Wait, what is this?
- It's called Lights Out. - Nah, fear of ghosts.
- This is good [censored].
- But see, if this didn't have music in it,
would you be as scared?
- Nah, see, what's about to happen is it's gonna pop up,
it's gonna come closer, and yep, right there.
- Okay. - Yep!
- I'm surprised, she didn't even jump that hard.
- That's what you get for playing with it.
- I would've been like running.
- I would've been out of the house already.
- Yeah.
- That's exactly what you get for playing with the lights.
- Oh my God.
It looks like an IKEA comforter. (Geneva and Sabrina laugh)
- It's been a little while since I've seen this.
- See, my thing is, I have sleep paralysis.
So this happens all the time for me. - Oh, you do?
- Oh my God. - Yeah!
Oh no, she turned off the lights.
Uh uh, that's some Freddy Krueger right there!
- This is a long clip!
- Nope, see, that's the problem. - I'm already flinching.
- You looked away. Five Nights At Freddy's,
rule number one, don't look away.
- I feel like I would've just gotten out of there.
- Nah, see, it's right behind her, right there, bam, pow!
Boom! (Geneva laughs)
- Will's like where is this jump out? - Yep!
- Okay, that wasn't that bad.
- That was like a creepypasta thing. (group laughs)
- (FBE) Definitely got some of you to jump a little.
- Yeah, I was like ah, waiting for it.
- I was expecting it to be worse.
- (FBE) This last video that we showed you guys
shows what can be so scary about the dark,
or the fear known as nyctophobia.
So Daniel, you knew that creator?
- Yeah, his name's David Sandberg.
He made that short, and then it won a bunch of awards
in like film circuits, and then he got picked up
to do a whole feature about it,
and then Shazam!, and so his whole career has been really crazy
just kind of like stemming from this one short.
- So what he's saying is David, if you're seeing this.
- I would love to work for you! - (laughs) Daniel's like...
- Just had to put it out there. - Here's my resume!
I was slightly afraid of it, for sure.
- I just have sleep paralysis, so that's an actual fear of mine
'cause I've seen things, where I've seen a girl in my room.
I've already seen somebody like on top of my chest,
and I would wake up with scratches on my chest and stuff,
so I've actually like experienced some things
where it freaks me out in sleep paralysis.
- (FBE) So those were all the phobias that we have for you today,
so how do you think you did in this challenge?
- I for sure would like get up from my chair and move,
but I'm not gonna look away.
- I watch like all those plastic surgery videos online,
so I've gotten really used to like really disgusting things.
So this was kind of fine.
- (FBE) Will, do you think the challenge
is not over or something?
- Well, I feel like something, I'm ready for something
just to pop up. - Pop out?
- Be like here's our last one.
- (FBE) Sadly, we cannot do it due to social distancing.
- I know. - Yeah,
but like I'm in a room alone, like...
- In the dark kind of. - In the dark, yeah.
- Oh yeah, just turn the lights off. - That would be terrible.
- Really? (laughs)
- Oh best believe I'm running out of this room,
I don't know where the door would be, but I'm running.
