- Hey you, my name is Thomas Tomaska Ridgewell
and welcome back to Content, the only show on the internet
that doesn't require an apology video
because clearly this is already penance
for some unspeakable sin that I must have committed
in a previous life.
Oh God.
Now what has been said that I am a YouTuber.
However, I've never truly felt like one
and that may be because
I never took part in the rite of passage
that was YouTube challenge videos.
If you remember between maybe 2011 and 2014,
you couldn't go on YouTube without seeing
some pretty young white people
giggling with their friends doing something weird,
usually eating something weird
be it spicy or gross or sexually inappropriate.
And I never did any of that
and it made me feel like a fraud.
Like I wasn't truly a YouTuber.
So today I thought I would earn my stripes
by doing every single challenge I could find in one video.
I'm going to die. So I did some digging
and I found 10 specifically food-based challenges
that I figured I could do on my own.
Those were the chubby bunny challenge,
hungry hippo challenge, taste test challenge,
baby food challenge, food full of cinnamon challenge,
egg roulette challenge, bean boozled challenge,
hot pepper challenge, tin can challenge
and sour candy challenge.
And I have already ranked them
in order of most palatable to oh god. Oh God, why?
And I'm gonna do them in that order
and you're going to watch me descend into madness.
Let's get into it. So starting with the most agreeable,
we have the taste test challenge
where I take two similar products
one brand name, one off brand, home brand.
And see if I can tell them apart, just with my taste buds.
I feel like this one should be pretty easy.
(smacking lips)
(objects clattering) - Ah!
- What have you done? Ah!
(both laughing)
Ah! How did you miss?
(chomping sound) (chewing loudly)
Oh no, that one's so bland and sad.
That's gotta be the off brand one right?
- It is.
- Challenge one complete.
I also won. Should I be keeping score?
Yeah, I'm gonna be keeping score.
I'm winning against myself.
Next we have the Hungry Hippo challenge.
If you play the game Hungry Hippos
you can probably guess what's coming next.
The basic idea is I've gotta take as many Skittles as I can,
pick them up with my mouth and put them in the glass
in the allotted amount of time.
This is definitely supposed to be a competitive challenge.
I reckon it could be very funny with two people,
but I'm just me, let's see how I do.
We have the Skittles here and the glass over here.
We have to travel then, you know, we go um, bleh.
- [Announcer] Three, two, one, go!
(spitting skittles in glass)
- No, I lost one.
- Come on, you gotta get the wine glass full.
(spitting skittles in glass) - It's a gin glass.
(spitting skittles in glass)
- 15 seconds.
(spitting skittles in glass) - No!
- 10 seconds. - No!
(skittles clattering)
- Five seconds.
(spitting skittles in glass) - They just stuck to my lip.
That was a lot harder than it looked.
Invested by the Hungry Hippo challenge.
- You suck!
- I should have sucked, you're right.
You know what, I'm gonna blame the beard.
I'm gonna say it right now, mustache was pushing them away.
I don't have a top lip. - Boo!
- I've got you know,
I don't have those big luscious blowjob lips.
- Boo!
- Wow. I don't deserve this.
(soft music playing)
Ah, it's fine here.
Alright. Not my strength, apparently.
That one was a failure, but challenge two is down.
Number three, chubby bunny challenge.
I didn't actually look up how this challenge works.
My understanding is you put as many marshmallows
in your mouth as you can and say, "Chubby bunny," right?
I don't care if I'm wrong. This is my video.
We're not gonna mess about. We're gonna do these in five.
So let's just get to it, shall we?
Five marshmallows?
Ah. Chubby bunny.
- Doing amazing sweetie.
- 10.
Chubby. Chubby.
(chuckling)
Chubby bunny.
(Tom laughing)
(Charlie laughing)
(muffled voice) (Charlie laughing)
(Tom gagging)
(both laughing)
- This is so sad to watch.
(Charlie laughing)
- Harder than it looks and I guess my gag reflex is back.
Maybe the problem was that I did it gradually.
What if I just start with 15?
I haven't gagged in a long time
so I'm suddenly really scared. 15.
We're just gonna go for it. Oh!
(both laughing)
(muffled voice)
(Tom laughing)
Marshmallow.
Okay. Skipping on over to number four
we have the BeanBoozled challenge.
Now, I think this is going to be a crock of shit.
Basically, it's just some jelly beans
and their weird gross flavors.
And I am so certain that everyone who's ever done these
is just like pretending.
'Cause I've had gross weird flavor, jelly beans before
and it's fine. Grow up.
(dramatic music)
Oh my God. They actually smell horrible.
White-- Ugh!
Oh, it actually smells like vomit and shit.
I regret this. I d--. I just eat a bean.
Do I just take a bean and I put it in my mouth?
(chomping sound)
Num, num, num.
That does not taste pleasant
Oh my God. That actually did taste like vomit.
Oh my God. It tasted like vomit.
- They ask you how you are and you just have to say
that you are fine when you're not really fine.
- No. No, no. Right.
Okay. I will admit the beans took me by surprise
but challenge number five is the sour candy challenge
which is just to eat some really sour sweets
and these are the most sour ones I could find.
I feel like this one's gonna, I like sour sweets
so I really think this is gonna be nice and easy.
And if I'm wrong, I will literally eat those words.
(dramatic music playing)
Okay. (chomping sound)
(bee buzzing)
- It's not so bad. It's just the coding that's sour.
So once that's all off, everything's fine.
I've got a lot of balls in my mouth.
(Tom laughing dramatically)
Well, like I always say worse things have happened
to better people.
Pop, pop, pop, pop. Baby food challenge.
I had a choice between spaghetti bolognese
and apple sauce and you know I'm not a coward.
So we're going with spaghetti bolognese.
I figured this one's gonna be unpleasant
but wholly palatable. It's literally for babies.
(dramatic music playing)
Oh, it looks like vomit and shit.
Really? It's I think this is a psychosomatic kind of thing
'cause this looks very unpleasant.
All right, baby food.
Let's see what those babies are working with, shall we?
- Here comes the airplane.
- I am a baby.
(chomping sound)
- They ask you how you are and you just have to say
that you are fine when you're not really fine.
And you just gotta get into...
- You know when you pick something cold up in the sink
and it's gross and slimy that's,
that is what that tastes like.
I don't like that.
Whoo, okay. Time to really start wrapping things up.
We're gonna have a spoonful of freaking cinnamon.
You've seen the videos. They pull a little spoonfuls
of cinnamon and they're like
and they're all like, "I can't breathe."
I like cinnamon. I like to put a little bit in my coffee.
Not worried. I've said that before,
but I feel like I'm gonna...
(dramatic music playing)
I'm not gonna have a massive spoonful.
I've just got to take a teaspoon.
So I got a little cheeky spoonful of cinnamon here.
I need to focus my Chi. Down the hatch.
Mm mm. That's good. Mm hmm.
I should have planned ahead
and put more saliva in my mouth first.
(groaning)
Goes down smooth baby!
Yeah, you know it wasn't lovely
but it could have been a lot worse.
Okay. On to number eight, the tin can challenge.
The basic premise of this is you take two tin cans.
I've gone with chopped tomatoes and dog food.
You then remove the labels, mix them up
and have to eat some of one at random.
I don't want to eat dog food, I'll be honest with you.
I don't want to eat dog food. I don't want to eat dog food.
Alrighty then. Here we go.
We are playing with the cans. (cans grinding on table)
Watch them go round and round.
Where will they stop? I don't know.
Charlie, left or right hand?
- Right, bitch.
- Right, bitch. Let's do it.
Please be the tomatoes. It's the dog food.
(laughing) - Oh, no!
- Fuck my life.
(chomping sound)
(retching) (coughing)
Down the hatch.
(screaming) (shuddering)
That was unpleasant.
We got to start feeding the dogs real food.
Penultimate challenge, egg roulette.
What I've got here is six eggs.
I have boiled five of them, so they are boiled hard eggs.
I will now proceed to pick three of them at random
and smack them into my face with the hope
that I do not smack the raw egg
which will explode into my face.
Yay! Here we go. Egg number one.
(grunting)
Oh. Okay.
(grunting)
Oh God. Oh God. Okay, here we go.
(screaming)
(laughing)
- Oh, no. (laughing)
Should've done this one last.
Should've done this one last. It's on my foot.
Hey did everyone get their "I Like Trans" T-shirts.
I think they're available for a few more days.
Let's get this done, shall we?
We're gonna finish off with the Carolina Reaper,
the hottest pepper in the world.
I'm going to eat one. I'm going to eat one.
That's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to put it in my mouth and I'm going to eat it.
I'm going to eat this. I'm going to eat this.
I'm going to get this guy ready?
Not gonna lie. I'm not that confident about this one.
Think it's gonna hurt a lot.
- [Announcer] Three, two, one, go!
(chomping sound)
(grunting)
- Have a little sip of milk here.
Have a little, little sip of milk here.
Have a little sip of milk here.
Really not pleasant on the back of your throat you know.
Just gonna have a little sip of milk.
You know, as long as the milk's in my mouth it doesn't hurt.
Just gonna have a little sip of milk though.
Just gonna have a little sip.
(smacking lips)
You know what you're good for?
Well, I'll be honest with you. It wasn't pleasant
and I know it's going to hurt a lot more
coming out than it did going in.
Whoo! There we have it. I am now officially a YouTuber.
You can tell because I've done
all of these YouTube challenges.
(groaning)
