Eject button... Where the hell are you?!
- I have no idea what to do! Just work!
Why won't you work?!
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) Hello, human and welcome to Technical Difficulties.
- Hi! It's good to be here.
- (FBE) So, I'll be giving you a piece of technology,
and you'll have three tasks to accomplish
in a certain amount of time. If you succeed in your tasks,
you get a point. If you don't, Tedi gets a point.
And Tedi is our robot friend, who represents all of technology.
- Hi, I'm Tedi.
- (FBE) The human or the robot with the most points
at the end wins. - Okay, then.
I think I can beat Tedi. I think I got this.
- That doesn't seem fair, 'cause if it's a robot
with technology, wouldn't the robot do better since the robot
knows how those things work? I'm already gone, though.
- (FBE) Today's tech is a VHS camcorder from the 90s.
- Yeah, I don't even know what that is.
- I'm gonna give it my all and hope that my knowledge
of technology helps me. I can't let Tedi win.
- (FBE) So, round one you're gonna have three minutes
to put the battery in, the tape in the right spot,
and turn the camera on and figure out how to start recording.
- All right. - We got this. That's easy!
Piece of cake. This will be fine.
- Jesus Christ. This is [bleep] ginormous.
- Okay, okay, okay. I have never seen
anything like this. - (Tedi) Your time starts now.
♪ (playful music) ♪ - Ah.
Wait, where's the battery?
Is this the battery? Whoa!
This thing is heavy. Okay, not focusing on that.
So, there's this battery eject slider thing.
Oh! Got it. Got 'em. Hopefully, this is the right way in.
It is the right way in! - Battery eject. All right.
So, this...
It's a heavy battery.
All right. I heard a sound, I think.
- Just gonna stick it in. Oh, she's on. Okay, cool.
Great. Now, I gotta put this tape in.
There has to be a big opening for me to put this tape in.
- How does this go in? (chuckles) Oh, man. Oh, man. I gotta hurry up.
- Okay, so VHS here. I need to find the--
that's the battery eject. I don't see-- oh, it says push here.
Okay. Eject button. Where the hell are you?!
- Eject...
There it is. Okay.
- Oh! Is something-- Oh my god! Okay.
Time's running out! I don't know which way this goes in.
I'm just gonna guess. I feel like that's wrong,
so I'm gonna go the other way. - I'm gonna put this in.
Let me just make sure I put it in the right way.
That does not look right.
- Upside-down.
It wasn't upside down. - This is failing miserably.
What?
- Okay. Yay, that looks right. Now, let me take this off.
How do you take this off? Okay, I got it off. Yay.
- Push here.
Oh! All right.
There we go! Got it.
All right. - (FBE) You did it!
(ding) You got it!
- (Tedi) Wow, that was a long three minutes,
but it looks like you got a human point.
...I mean you got a point, human.
- I thought it would be easier, but that was kinda hard.
I don't know why it was hard. It said all the stuff right there,
but I couldn't find it.
- And record.
Is it recording? - (FBE) You got it.
(ding) - Nice!
- Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah. It says record.
- (FBE) You got it. - All right.
It's what I expected. Maybe a little bit harder.
I thought I was gonna get it maybe a little bit faster.
- Here's a red button. So, do I just press that to record?
- (FBE) You did it! - Oh, yay! I did it!
- (FBE) You figured it out. - Honestly, at first,
it felt really hard, 'cause I was struggling
finding where to put the tape. But once I put that in,
it was pretty easy. - (FBE) Time's up.
(buzzer) - (Tedi) how thrilling.
I got a point. Better luck next round, human.
- That was way harder than I thought.
And plus, with the time crunch and the time going,
you get really stressed out, 'cause then you start getting nervous
about getting everything done in time. - There's so many weird knobs
and things that look like panels that aren't panels,
and it's stressful. I kind of was figuring this out
as we went along, so maybe I can do that
with the others. ...Hopefully.
- (FBE) Time for round two. Now, you'll have to make
a video with the camera. You have three minutes
to successfully make your masterpiece
and don't forget to use the microphone.
- All right. We're gonna do it
just like the first one. - That would've made this easier
if I had been able to complete the task
from the first round, 'cause then I would know
how to turn it on and record. - Hopefully, I'll be able
to do this considering I do YouTube videos,
but I'm starting to think that this will be very different.
- (Tedi) Ready? Three, two, one.
- Okay, this is the microphone.
This definitely goes in there.
No?
All right, I have no idea where this goes.
Oh! Okay. Right here.
Now, make a movie.
Hello. This is Jackson. I have to work this camera thing.
And I did it, right? I'm done. All right.
Thanks for watching. - Here's the microphone.
I'm gonna plug this in.
Ooh! It says exterior mic. Yay! Okay, it's in. Woo!
Now, I'm gonna turn it back on.
Hi, guys! It's Kacey.
It's good to see you. Now, maybe you can see me better.
I'm kind of confused, but I'm just gonna try
to do my best right now. And I'm talking to a microphone,
because that's part of this challenge.
- Take this off.
And then, let's make the video.
Look at a camera with a camera. There we go.
- Got that. Okay, all good. Power it back on.
Nice.
Hello! How's it going? I'm Jaxon, and I just won.
- I'm gonna have to lean over.
Hello! This is Marlhy. I'm struggling
on Technical Difficulties today. I'm playing against Tedi.
I'm probably not in the frame at all right now,
but I'm trying to make it work. We're struggling out here, boys.
Were struggling.
- Come on. Oh, I can see you guys!
I just need to hit record somehow, and then we'll be great.
I think it's this red button. (gasps) It's recording!
Hello, everyone. Welcome to my channel.
Like and subscribe. I'm just gonna show you guys
what I see every day. Hey, guys! Say hi.
Wave to the camera. Wave to the fans.
- (FBE) You got another point. (ding)
- (Tedi) You are smarter than you look, human.
Congratulations on a point.
- I think that was a little bit easier.
I just had to do a lot more in the last one.
- (FBE) You got it. You got the point. (ding)
- I got the point!
(ding) - (FBE) Going into the final round,
you and Tedi are tied up with one point each.
- Oh my god. - (FBE) How do you feel?
- It could be anyone at this point.
It could be me or Tedi. I'm scared.
- (FBE) Okay, so your final round, you're going to have to
play back the masterpiece you just made on a TV.
- Okay! Hopefully, I'll be able to do that.
I'm gonna try. - This could be really hard.
I better get 10 minutes for this one.
- (FBE) You only get five. - Okay. (chuckles)
I don't think I can do it. - Definitely not gonna
be good at that, but I'm gonna try my hardest,
because I really want to beat this robot.
- Oh, a retro TV. All right.
I don't know if that makes it easier or harder.
- Let's do this. Three, two, one.
- Okay. So, I'm gonna click the eject button.
Oh, yay! It got the tape out.
Okay. I got that in. That's not where this goes.
Ah.
No. Wait, where does this go?
Oh, what the-- what the heck is that?
- It's gotta fit in here somewhere. Maybe...
I'm not gonna-- this is a bad idea,
but I'm gonna... look underneath.
Nothing.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, man. Oh, man. Okay.
Love the color-coordinated system.
(TV buzzing) Uh, that does not sound great,
but I'm gonna proceed anyway. Oh, wait, wait!
This has to stay. This has to stay,
because I can't plug it in there. - I guess I'll just start with that
to make my life easier, to make me feel like
I'm doing something productive. Okay.
Okay. So, I guess I plug it in to this now.
And then, let's see if I turn this on...
Oh my god. It sounds so old.
- Oh! It's working. This is a bit of a struggle,
but you know, we're figuring it out.
(gasps) Uh!
This is like the beginning of horror movies.
- Okay. We're somewhere.
Can I...
Okay.
I give up.
- (FBE) Hey, you got something!
(ding) - There we go.
That's my video. I did the sweep.
- (Le'Raun on video) They usually have two people. I think. Do they?
I hope they do. Or I'ma look... - Dope!
Good job, Le'Raun! Ooh!
I could survive in any timeline.
- (Tedi) What a beautiful video. Congratulations on your success.
- There we go.
- (Jaxon on video) I just won. I think it's zoomed out.
I feel like it's a lot better. - (Caprice) You're recording again?
- (Jaxon on video) Yes, I am. - (Caprice) No!
- (Jaxon on video) Ahh! (laughs) This is part of the movie!
- (Caprice) Don't give away our secrets!
- (Jaxon on video laughs)
- I have no idea what to do! Just work! Why won't you work?!
Ugh! Okay. - (FBE) Time is up.
(buzzer) Unfortunately, you did not win.
Tedi has won. You did not rewind the tape.
- Ohhh. - (Tedi) I'm sorry you are
mediocre with older technology. - That was very difficult.
Tedi kind of beat me, but it's fine.
You win this time, but not in the future.
(buzzer) - I definitely learned something.
I don't think it's ever gonna come in handy.
(buzzer) - It was really fun
just to try to figure out how to use it, because I've never
used one of these before. Honestly, it's just fun
to experience how people made videos in the olden days.
(buzzer) - Tedi, even though you're a robot
and probably know technology better than I do,
I will beat you next time. We will meet again,
and I will conquer you.
