- Movies get me so hard, bro. - Was it him?
Oh my god! Wait! No, no, no! No, no, no!
- I feel the tears coming. (chuckles) Oh my gosh!
Ahh! You guys got me.
♪ (punk rock intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, you are doing a Try Not to Cry Challenge.
- Oh, no. I'm a very emotional person.
- No! I cry easily. - I'll just be feeling it,
and I'm like, "I need to go cry really quick,"
and then I come back, and I'm okay.
- The one movie that has made me cry is "Toy Story 3,"
because that ending is such a punch in the gut.
- (FBE) So, in honor of you being in the show
that makes us cry every week, "This Is Us"...
- Uhhh. - (FBE) Today, we've got
a challenge for you. - Yes!
- (FBE) This is a Try Not to Cry-- - This is so smart!
You guys are so smart. Are you gonna show me the "Up" clip?
If you are, I might cry.
- (FBE) So, we're gonna give you these.
- Oh, boy. Thank you. Thank you very much.
But after each video, whether or not it made you cry,
we're gonna have you rate it on a scale of one to five
based on how emotional you thought they were.
- Okay. - I'm so scared already.
I am so sensitive to everything. - I guess I'm ready.
I've got the tissues. Let's just prep them,
'cause we're gonna be using them.
- (announcer) Turn your attention please to the video board
for this special message. - (man) Hey, guys.
- What's happening? Is his dad coming home or something?
- (man) I have to say I'm glad I mean, we're the ones
that were chosen to be recognized today.
- That's so sweet. - (man) ...to my wife,
the sacrifices you make are just unbelievable.
- Aww.
- (man) You sacrificed your job. You sacrificed your friends
that you grew up with. - This is happy!
- These ones are cute. You know, they're happy.
I don't think these ones are sad, personally.
- (man) To my children, I just can't believe the stuff
that you have to do... - Aww.
- (man) It seems like every time that you go to a new school
and you make new friends, we turn around and have to leave.
- I can't even imagine having to live like that.
- Ugh! That's amazing! - (man) And I'll see you
real, real soon. - You can just tell
how happy they are. It's on their face.
- (crowd cheering uproariously) - Oh, he's coming home!
He's coming home! - Aww.
Oh my gosh. He's there. Is he there?
- Aw. That is so sweet.
- That was the best. - I'm okay. I'm okay.
I'm okay. He's there.
- I usually don't cry from tears of joy.
- Okay, I'm not gonna cry, though. That's just like--
that just warms my heart. - Aw.
It's just such a sweet, wholesome moment.
- I had to really fight that. (chuckles)
- (FBE) So, on a scale of one to five, how emotional was that?
- Mmm... one. - Four?
It's heartwarming emotional. - Give that a one.
- Three. It was cute, but it wasn't like,
"Oh my god. I'm crying." - A three.
- A one. - That was a four.
That was very emotional. (chuckles) - Three for me.
- That was definitely a one. - Three. I wouldn't say it
was enough to make me cry. - Two. I feel like you guys
are gonna show me something that's gonna get me.
So, I'm holding out. - (Andy) Gotta promise to take
good care of these guys. - No! (laughs)
I literally talked about this in the beginning!
The one thing, the literal one thing...
- I'm leaving. I'm leaving. No. This-- no.
"Toy Story 3" -- no, no! - (Bonnie) My cowboy!
- This was my eighth grade field trip to go see this movie in theaters,
and we just bawled our eyes out.
♪ (somber piano music) ♪ - Oh, that little girl's
(softly) so cute. - Dude, I cried so [bleep] hard
when I saw this in theaters.
- Come on, Andy. Give it to the little girl.
- (Andy) Now, Woody... - I'm fighting it.
- (Andy) ...he's been my pal for as long as I can remember.
- Aww. No, no, no, no. I'm good.
- (Andy) You think you can take care of him for me?
- My heart feels so heavy? - (Andy) Okay, then.
- I'm tearing up. (laughs) I hate myself.
- I'm not crying. (sucks in breath) (softly) I'm not crying.
You-- no! Don't look at me! I'm not crying!
I might be, like, tearing up a little bit. Okay.
- (Andy) Thanks, guys. - She loves him.
He has a new home. It's a positive.
- Movies get me so hard, bro.
- (Troy and Woody) So long, partner.
- Ah! - Okay. My eyes are tearing up there,
but I did not cry. - I'm tearing up,
but it's not sad or anything like-- ooh-kay!
This challenge is so hard! - That one's a two.
Eh, it wasn't that bad. - A four.
- That was definitely a five. - Two.
- Five. But I was really holding it together.
- A one. - I'll give that one a two.
- Five. That's my childhood. - That was a two.
- Three. - Four, 'cause I'm not bawling
and I'm still smiling. But it's just nostalgic.
- (woman) Why don't you get something special for grandpa?
- I've seen this. This is great.
♪ (uplifting piano music) ♪ - What are we gonna get grandpa?
- Grandpa likes sweets. - Oh my god.
- Oh, no.
- Oh, they don't have enough money.
- (woman) I'm sorry. Can I return the cake, please?
- That's really sad. - (girl) I want the cake, please.
I won't ask for anything else. - Awww.
- (woman) Next time, okay? When we can afford it.
- (girl) Last time, you said that. - Aww, man.
- (man) They don't want this? I'll take it then.
Hello. This is for you. - Aw, he's such a good person.
- (woman) There's no reason for you to buy the cake for us.
- (man) When I was seven, my mother wanted to buy me a cake.
We didn't have enough. - Full circle.
- (man) Then there's this man...
- (older man) Here, have the cake.
- These acts of kindness really make people's day.
- (man) I didn't know his name. - There are good people in this world.
- (man) I never got a chance to say thank you.
♪ (touching instrumental music) ♪ - Paying it back! (claps)
- (man) Promise me something, okay? Someday, when you're able
to help somebody, you will do it?
- A good deed goes really far.
- (kids) Grandpa! - (gasps)
- (girl) I chose this cake for your birthday.
- (grandpa) Wow! This is my favorite. - This is so adorable!
- (grandpa) Thank you! - (woman) A kind man paid for it.
- (girl) He give me this note.
- (mom) Please write down your address.
- Was it him?! Oh my god!
Wait! No, no, no! No, no, no!
- (gasps) Wait. Was that the grandpa?
- Why do you-- why am I here? Oh my god. (softly) That's too good.
(choked up) I'm not crying. Okay.
- (grandpa) "A simple act of caring..."
- Yes! Full circle. This is good.
- (boy) ...that comes back to you. - (clapping)
- Nope. See? I cry so easily!
- That was a little "This Is Us," actually.
Reminded me of it a little bit. Shamelessly just constantly
talking about "This Is Us." (chuckles)
- I always feel terrible for people who aren't able
to get the things that they really want in life.
- That's a three. - It was just happy and cute,
so I'm just gonna say it was a three.
- A two, I'd say. - I'm gonna give that a three.
- Four. That was just such a good message.
- A one. It was really nice, but I didn't feel emotional.
- Big fat five. - Four.
- I'll give it a two. - I'm gonna go ahead
and give that a one. - A five.
I don't care if my makeup runs,
because I'm not gonna cry for the rest.
- (man) The greatest gift my mother ever gave me...
- Oh, he's talking about moms! Don't talk about moms!
- Oh, I've seen this. This is a good one.
- (man) I have overdosed on drugs on three occasions
where I should've been dead. - Oh, dang.
- (man) See, my mom wouldn't go to bed
until she knew her son was still alive.
- My parents did that all the time. They'd just wait for me to come home
before they go to bed. - (man) "Can I-- can I
talk to you for a minute?" I said, "Man, just leave me alone!
You bug me!" I'd slam my bedroom door.
- All teenagers. - All of us teenage kids
talk to our mom like that. So sad.
- (man) I was on a worldwide tour and we were resting overseas in Japan.
- Talks like this-- they used to do 'em at school--
I would cry at all the time. - (man) There was a knock at my door
at 3 o'clock in the morning. So, I opened the door and he said,
"Mark, you need to call home. There's been an emergency."
- Is his mom dead? - (man) I went down
the hotel room phone. I called back to the United States
and said, "Hey! What's going on?" They said, "Mark..."
♪ (somber instrumental music) ♪ "...your mother died."
- Stop! - No, no, no, no, no!
- That sucks. - (man) I remember looking up
and just saying, "Mom? I am so sorry!"
- That's tough. - (man) I flew home for her funeral.
I kept thinking to myself, "Mom..."
- Aww. - (man) "Please get up."
- Oh, no. - (man) And then I finally got
the nerve to walk up to her. - [Bleep].
- (man) And then as I got closer... - Oh my gosh.
All these kids are crying. - It's cute that
they're affected by it. - (man) She looked like an angel.
And I just stood over her and I said, "Mom, you are my hero.
Everything I am, everything I hope to be
was 'cause of you. You loved me..."
- How does he tell this story? I would just be crying
throughout the whole thing. - (man) Love. Love is just a word...
- Aww. Oh my goodness. - (man) ...until somebody comes along
and gives it meaning. You. You're the meaning.
- Wow. The waterworks really came out there.
- I'm not crying, but it is sad.
- It's such a good audience to be speaking that to, too,
because I feel like kids say a lot of things
that they don't really mean. - I'd give that one a three.
- Four. I need to call my mom. (chuckles)
- Four. - That was definitely a five.
- I would say four. - A four out of five.
- A four, but my heart's feeling a lot of emotions right now.
- A four. - Five for sure.
My mom is very important to me, so this one definitely hit me hard.
- Three. I feel like such an [bleep]
not saying it's sad, 'cause his mom died.
Like, I don't want my mom to die.
But I'm not crying. - That was a five.
That almost-- that was really close to getting me.
Mom, I love you. And also, Dad, I love you too.
- (FBE) So, that was our last video. But we have one more thing
that we think might make you cry.
- (snorts) Okay. Dude, this one's
gonna be rough, I feel like.
- Don't make me cut a damn onion.
- (FBE) So, we wanted to see if cutting this onion will make you cry.
- I've never actually cut an onion. - Onions make me cry.
I have to wear special goggles every time I'm cooking!
- (FBE) Have you ever cut an onion before?
- I have definitely cut an onion before.
- (Ramsey) You've just nailed one of the most sophisticated,
one of the most difficult dishes anywhere in the world to cook.
- I gotta get up close to it, because I don't wanna be like,
"Oh, look, I'm not crying."
- I'll bite right into this. (loud crunch)
Onions are good. - The smell comes first,
then the eyes start to water. My eyes are burning,
but they're not getting to the point-- oh.
Yup. Spoke too soon. - How come nothing is happening?
I don't feel a thing. - (sniffs) Okay, why does it
kind of smell good now? Like, I'm kinda-- (chuckles)
It's not even making me cry. - I would have to want
to cry from this for it to make me cry.
Or if I touched my eyes right now, yeah, I'd probably cry.
- It worked, 'cause I definitely touched my face with it. (laughs)
- My eyes are burning a little bit. It's happening. That's so weird!
How does it do that?! - Welcome to my cooking show,
where I cut onions. It doesn't really make me cry.
- Ooh, I'm feeling it. I'll go over this.
I think that Toy Story one got me closer than this. (chuckles)
- I feel the tears coming. (chuckles) Oh my gosh!
Ahh! You guys got me!
- (FBE) On a scale of one to five, how close are you to crying right now?
- Five. Oh, god. I can't see. - One. It didn't make me cry.
- Three, because I want to cry, but it won't make me cry.
- It's at a three. - Four.
- Four. It makes your eyes feel like they're dry.
- One. - Maybe one?
- I have to give it a five for the one that got me.
- We're gonna say a six. - This was actually a one.
The white onions definitely get you more than a red onion,
but... I don't know, it wasn't that bad today.
- I wanted to not cry, because it's the challenge, obviously.
But I feel like a bad person for not crying.
- (FBE) So finally, for you, Logan, your show is known
for making people cry. And that is exactly
what our challenge is supposed to do here.
- Mm-hmm. - (FBE) So, why in general
do you think that people love to watch things
that are intended to make someone cry?
- I think it's cathartic. A lot of people get a lot out of it,
and the whole show is just circled around family specifically,
and it's so relatable on purpose to so many different kinds of stories.
It's good. It's a good show.
- Thanks for watching teens cry. I mean, (sniffs) Teens React.
- Shoutout to Hallie Garcia and Chocolate Cookies.
- ("choked up") Bye! - Hi! I'm Logan Shroyer.
Thank you guys so much for having me.
Check out "This Is Us" or my social media or whatever.
But yeah, I'm a huge fan, so I've been trying
to get on this show for a while.
Thank you so much for finally having me.
This was great.
