- Oh, oh!
Ahhh!
This is better then Logan Paul, KSI.
Look at us. (laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Kelsey, and this is In Control with Kelsey.
The show where I have my friends control their lives
in the Sims 4, but I control the conversation.
Today, our first friend is Marcus Scribner.
You may know him as Junior in Blackish,
or as Bow in She-ra and the Princesses of Power.
Welcome!
- What is up, I'm very excited to create myself in The Sims.
- Have you ever felt like you don't have
enough control in your life?
- Sometimes, yeah, it's nice to have some control.
Things are going pretty well right now.
At least that's what my publicist told me to say.
So, I'm very excited to be here right now,
and create myself in The Sims.
And have things go very well there as well.
- We've been talking earlier
and you said that you like to play League of Legends.
- Yes. - What do you love most
about games?
- At first I was definitely into story-driven games,
and just kind of like immersing myself in the worlds.
So I kind of like Skyrim.
But now everything's turned to like competitive games.
I like kind of being able to express my skill, in a game.
And just kind of flex up on people.
And destroy everyone.
- Oh okay cool, so you like being better than other people?
- I like being better than other people.
And games give me that confidence.
(laughing)
- Have you ever played The Sims?
- I've never played Sims before.
This is all new to me.
- Perfect, I love introducing.
All right, you ready to take control?
- I'm very ready to take control.
- To begin, we will probably have you
just like go in with what you remember.
But I have found,
as a person that has tried to make a bunch of Sims,
that a lot of times I'll forget what people look like.
- Including myself.
So we'll take a selfie, and then at any point if you're like
"I really wanna use that."
- Okay it's like a lifeline.
- A little, yes!
Here we go, okay.
(camera click) That was great.
- Yay! - One and done.
- I have three distinguishing features.
I have massive lips, small ears, and a long head.
Those look like my lips, right?
I think so.
Or no, right here.
No, there it is.
The hair is a little off.
I mean sometimes I rock an afro.
(laughing)
I used to rock an afro back in like
fourth through fifth grade.
I would keep the pick in it too.
It was very like, throwback retro 70s vibes.
I think this is a little closer to my current hair.
It's a lot shorter.
Final answer, this one.
Man, his eyebrows, I am not happy with these.
My eyebrows are a little bushy.
Oh, all right, We see you!
I guess we'll do eyes next.
I feel like I have an almond vibe/sleepy tired look.
Oh, whoa, that's kind of cool.
But like I don't know if that's how I look.
- Is that how you'd wanna look?
- I kind of like the way I look, like, I'm okay with myself.
This is kind of a vibe though too.
I guess we could change the eye color.
Oh no, that's definitely not me, that's way too light.
- Your eyes are too unique, The Sims can't do it.
- I'm too uniquitous.
I feel like I look like a vampire with some of these colors.
- What's your dream eye?
- I feel like this is the closest to what they are,
but like darker.
Hey, who did your makeup?
(laughing)
This man out here, dressed to impress.
- He's already got some facial hair on there.
Have you ever like fully grown out any facial hair?
- I wish I could. - Yeah?
- I honestly cannot, I'm 19.
(laughing)
- I just like, I haven't reached that stage yet.
- What about this one right here?
- Yeah, look at you Kelsey go.
All right, that's a good color.
Honestly, looking like pretty similar to me almost,
minus hair.
Ears, my ears are minuscule.
Oh?
(laughing)
He's going to hear everything.
What are we thinking with the head shape?
Is it my head shape?
Or I feel like this is too normal of a head shape.
Mine is a little more cucumber in height.
- Cucumber head shape?
- Do you now what I mean?
- No.
- It's a little more narrow, and kind of longer.
I get way too serious in character creation, y'all.
- Well, you clearly know your face pretty well.
- Really? - Like I'm pretty impressed
right now. - Yeah!
This is looking like a vibe, I like this.
- Why don't we move into body then?
- Yeah, let's move into body.
- So how would you describe you body shape?
- I would say like lanky is kind of like my vibe.
I feel like I have like a pretty average body type.
This body type's pretty solid right here.
- Great, all right!
- I look good.
- Perfect.
- I'm not a fan of these pants.
- Yeah, why don't we try for the first everyday look.
We try to get as close to what you're currently wearing.
- Oh, what I'm currently wearing?
These right here are a little similar to what I'm wearing.
- How would you describe your fashion?
- Definitely I wear a lot of kind of like street-wear vibes.
I'm a very casual individual,
I like things to be comfortable.
- How would your mom describe your style?
- Oh, my mom's always so proud
every time I'd step out on the town.
So, I think she would be very, very happy with my style.
I think I'm wearing like some
blue Converse looking shoes, almost.
- Yeah, those are cool shoes.
- Yes. - Show them off!
Get that foot up there. - That flex.
We've got a
cyborg velociraptor. - Cyborg velociraptor!
- Cyborg velociraptor! - We need more of those!
- Wait, is there crap on the bottom of my shoe?
That's embarrassing.
- That's just relatable.
- That's just life.
- I think there's a jacket in the Sims
that reminds me of the very jacket
that you are currently wearing.
There's like a more bomber vibe.
- Yeah, bomber vibes.
- That one!
It's like, I feel like the closest.
- It is very close.
- He looks stylish.
- He looks stylish, he looks cool.
He looks like me, I like it.
- So, your character, Bow rocks a crop-top.
- He rocks a crop-top.
- Would you ever rock a crop-top?
- Um, we'll take a trial run with my Sims character.
See how he rocks a crop-top.
And then make that decision.
Personally, crop-top, not completely my vibe.
Like the mid-riff showing is kind of hard though.
Bow really makes it work.
- He really does.
- He really does, he pulls it off super hard.
And he's got a heart in the middle of his chest.
- [Kelsey] So cute.
- Yeah I don't know if I could pull it off like Bow.
- We'll see.
- We'll see, won't we?
- Maybe click the party outfit.
- I'm already not completely vibing
the crop-tops in his section.
- Why don't you just try one on?
- This one has a--
(laughing)
- I like that, that's the relaxed fit.
The pants need to go, we need to change these pants.
I rock with these pants.
And then we just need to switch up the shoes.
Okay, this is good.
- Okay, then maybe we should do one more.
What are you expecting to do with your Sim today?
Are you gonna go to a party?
You gonna go to the beach?
- I think, live out the beach bum lifestyle.
- Okay. - Whoa!
Okay, all right, we see you.
Look at that.
What kind of swim trunks am I gonna rock?
I like these.
- Okay, great. - And then maybe a shirt?
Maybe a tank?
There it is.
So this is what I'm wearing.
It's a blue bomber jacket, black pants,
and like blue Converse-type beat sneakers.
This is definitely more of a party vibe.
I think my character just likes to party.
And this is his beach bum lifestyle.
- With The Sims you've got to pick out
your like life's aspirations.
So what would you actually consider your aspiration?
- I wanna do some bad stuff.
Let's go Deviance.
Ooh, mischief, or Public, oh Public Enemy.
That sounds brutal.
I think I'll be the Chief of Mischief.
I'm a good person.
That's something that good people say, right?
- Then you get to choose three traits of your personality.
- Okay, three traits.
- How would someone describe you?
- Creative.
Foodie, I love food.
- What's your favorite food?
- And dog lover.
My favorite food is by far In-N-Out.
(laughing)
- Nice!
And dog lover?
- Yes, I have two dogs.
You point out any dog to me on the street,
it's kind of a cool party trick,
I'll know exactly what breed it is.
And I'm usually like 90% of the time right.
- That's a great trick.
- Yeah. - Cool!
So it's time to start your life.
All right, so what's your favorite season?
What season should we play in?
- My favorite season, I think fall.
- Good choice.
- Yeah, fall is a vibe.
- So now here's all the different neighborhoods.
They're the first guest of this season.
So you get to choose where we live.
I know that you're a Los Angeles local.
- Yes, I'm a Los Angeles native.
Do we have L.A., or is it like--
- There is one that's similar, it's called Del Sol Valley.
- I was looking at it, and I was like
"This is definitely the L.A. one."
- But would you ever dream of living somewhere else?
- Oh, I already pressed Del Sol Valley.
- No, you can live here, that's just a question.
- This is also kind of an interview show.
All right, so what's your game plan?
What are we doing with our day?
- So we're going to go over there, adopt a pet.
Get a super cool dog.
And then we're gonna hit the beach.
Catch some waves, surf.
You know how it is.
And then, maybe fight someone.
But I've heard from you that
you have to be athletic to fight people.
So maybe we can pick a fight
with like a small child or something.
- I don't think you can fight children in The Sims.
I guess we can find out.
- We'll find a weak person.
Ooh, practice acting.
- He could.
- Let's see what that looks like.
- The first thing you do, you go into a home.
- I just wanna see--
- And you just want to practice acting.
(laughing)
- He's practicing acting!
- How would you rate his acting?
- I would rate it Oscar-worthy.
Geez, is that Misner?
Look at that technique.
(laughing)
Okay, so let's go adopt a dog.
Oh, we have options.
Kelly looks like a lion.
It's definitely a Tibetan Mastiff.
- It's a Chow Chow.
- Oh, it says Chow Chow.
- Granted this isn't a real dog.
So which dog is calling to you?
- I love standard Schnauzer's.
North Elk Shepherd.
I'm gonna be honest I don't even know that breed.
Standard Schnauzer, I'm gonna go with standard Schnauzer.
Actually, no, we're going to get the Puggle
'cause I have a Beagle.
Oh, you can adopt two?
- Yeah you could. - Up to three!
Let's get Kelly, Cici, Walley.
We're going full Sim, boys.
Oh my.
- There comes the woman that's going to bring you the dogs.
- Oh really? - Yep.
- Oh, she threw that crate on the--
Ooh, is that Kelly?
- If you could, how many dogs would you get?
- I'd start a farm, it wouldn't be healthy.
(laughing)
- Oh my God, this is a small standard Schnauzer.
It's like a mini Schnauzer.
- Maybe, yeah they're all adults.
- I guess Kelly the Chow Chow is just massive.
- Oh my gosh, Kelly can get up!
- Kelly is making some coffee.
Let's brew some coffee for Kelly.
Oh no, that takes you out of that task, I canceled that.
Okay, lets go to the beach.
We're bringing Cici, Walley, and Kelly.
We're going to go frolic and have some fun.
Maybe fighting. (bell dings)
- Have you ever gotten in a fight?
- I have never gotten in a fight personally.
I've got some techniques down.
I would hope I'd win in a fight.
- Who do you think you could win in a fight against?
- I think a small child, as I was saying.
(laughing)
Oh, it's like League of Lege-- - Who's that? Who's that guy?
- Oh!
He looks a little built.
I don't know if we could take him.
- He's talking to the dog!
- Hey, hold up, excuse me.
- You're on a swing!
- My character's riding a swing!
Marcus, aye!
Oh my gosh, all right.
Well, let's find a weaker individual.
I don't smell fear on this guy.
- What about that guy?
- This dude over here is building a sand castle.
I've got his name.
Rude introduction.
Am I gonna just push him?
- Ooh! - Oh!
- Oh, is he just chill?
- Click on shove.
- Oh my.
Oh!
- You gotta keep going.
- Debate existence of vampires.
This will really start a fight.
There's just so many possibilities on earth,
like why wouldn't they exist.
"Give Mean Gift."
What's a mean gift?
- Its a fart.
- Oh.
No, he's running!
I'm talking to no one. - You come back here, sir!
- He just dipped! I don't even know where he went.
Is that a mermaid? - Come back and fight us!
- I just realized my dogs, I'm a horrible dog parent.
Excuse me, Marcus!
I gotta get fit before my fight.
(dramatic music)
- What kind of workouts do you like to do?
- I like to do a lot of calisthenics type stuff
'cause I work out a lot at home.
So he's getting fit.
- He's getting fit. - Preparing for his fight.
- He's so fit.
- I like how I just abandoned my dogs at the beach.
- Just took them to the beach and left them.
- I guess he's mischievous like that.
Okay, who can we fight?
- One of those guys?
- Yeah, dude on the left.
- This guy?
- Knock his glasses off.
- All right.
- Give mean gift.
- Oh man.
- Yeah I'm going full, all the way there.
Fart on him.
Uh oh, uh oh.
(fart noise) Oh!
(laughing)
He trapped it.
- What are you going to do next?
- Mock outfit, that's disrespectful.
- How would you do it? - I'd be like, "aye bro,
"your shorts are like just above your knee.
"That's weird."
(laughing)
Oh, looks like it's getting serious!
Why do they just run away?
- Because they don't want to, they don't like this.
- Look at his strut.
This man knows how to walk a runway though.
I'll tell you that.
Fight, fight, fight!
This is so exciting.
- This'll be your first fight. - The main event. This is it.
(dramatic music)
Oh.
Oh!
This is better than Logan Paul, KSI.
Look at us. (laughing)
- Who's gonna win?
- I have no, I think I'm gonna win.
I'm definitely, oh I'm on top.
Yeah, I dusted him!
- Whoa, man! - Let's go!
I knew Marcus Scribner V2 knew how to throw hands.
- It just popped up that you and Alika
now despise each other.
You were successful. - Oh, we despise each other.
Well I think that's a mission success.
- Yeah, I would call that a big success.
- I've created an enemy.
- Wow, what a day you've had.
- What a day.
It was a great time, giving him a mean gift.
I didn't know you could trap a fart in a box.
- Is that what we've learned today?
- That's what we've learned today.
That's something I'll definitely be trying.
(laughing) - Thank you so much Marcus
for being on In Control with Kelsey.
- Check back next episode where someone else
will be In Control with Kelsey.
Bam!
