- Hey, everybody, before you watch this episode of YouTubers React,
we wanted to let you know that we're releasing
our first VR 360 sketch this Wednesday on the FBE channel,
and it stars Brandon. - Yes, I play a doctor in the video,
and you are the patient, and the whole thing is shot in VR.
It was super cool to see what it takes to make one
and I hope you guys enjoy it.
- So that we know that most of you are watching videos
on whatever device you're on right now,
but, truly, the best way to watch this going to be with a VR headset
to truly immerse yourself, so if you happen to be able
to get your hands on one, there's information in the description
on how to watch the video.
- If you don't have a VR headset, remember, you can also watch it
on the YouTube app or on your desktop laptop.
Info also in the description.
- It really is exciting to be playing with new technology
and being able to make our very first sketch
kind of experimenting with comedy in a VR world,
so we really hope that you enjoy it.
- And now enjoy this episode of YouTubers React,
also starring me, so you know it's going to be good.

- (FBE) So today we're gonna show you a series of videos,
and the challenge is to try not to cry while watching them.

- Okay, I'ma win this.
- I've done this before.
Not on YouTube. In real life.
I'm good at not crying.
- (FBE) Whether or not you cry,
we'll have you rate the video on a scale of one to five,
based on how emotional you thought it was.
- Five being, like, you were crying the whole time.
- This is going to be interesting.
All aboard the feels train.
- What if my eyes naturally tear?
- I don't know what kind of crying this is going to elicit--
happy crying, very sad crying?

just in case you need it.

on the emotional scale? - Three.
- I'd say, like, a two.
- One. It got me very emotionally mad.
Like, not sad.
- I don't know, like a three.
- I'd give it a two.
That's like tricking your family.

It ended with a punk.
- Pffft. Three.
- It was a two.
- That was a three, like, a solid, solid three.

- That's a four.
- Just one.
- Zero. It didn't make me sad.
It made me happy.
- That was, like, a two. - I'd give that a two.
- That's easily a four.
There's so many people out there that don't get to come back home.
- I'd give it a three.
- Eh, one.
It kind of takes the heart out of the moment
when you have it in front of so many people.
- I'd go a three.
My dad, he lives out in Singapore, so we only get to see him
maybe, like, twice a year for not a long time,
and it's always like that.

- Oh, that's a five.
- Five, that's-- the tear-drickery-est clip you've shown me.

Their relationship and their lives together was the best adventure of all.
- That's by far a five.
I'm so fortunate in my life to have so many people
that I love so much.
You make sacrifices all the time,
and you put off things that you want to do
and you put off adventures.
You put it off because the best adventure is being together,
and then that person leaves and... (sighing).
♪ (dramatic chord) ♪
- (FBE) Crying is something that, at times,
society makes you feel bad for doing.
Do you think it's okay to show emotion?
- Yeah, it's okay to show emotion because it shows that you're human.
- Crying is healthy.
- I totally think it's okay to show emotion.
It makes me feel better and more free.
- YouTubers and a lot of watchers are afraid of showing too much feeling
because they don't want to seem vulnerable.
- Men are expected to be this non-emotional, sturdy rock.
They're humans and they should be able to cry.
- To share that emotional experience is probably the rawest you can be,
and the most vulnerable you can be with someone
and that's not something to be ashamed of.
- (FBE) Finally, with so many different try-not-to type challenges
popping up all the time, why are try-not-to challenge videos
some of the most popular on the site?
- Oh, because I think it is not only fun to watch others,
but it is also participatory for the viewers.
- People like a challenge.
- It makes you feel ways you don't really want to feel.
- It's nice to see people be regular
and have a natural instinct to do what the video is supposed to make you do.
- It's easy to try to do something, right,
but to try NOT to do something that was so embedded into our reflexes
like crying, like flinching, like laughing,
we can't control those.
It's more fun to try and counteract what your body is predetermined to do.
