- Whoa. - Whoa.
- The cup just got huge.
- Now that's what I call witchcraft.
- ♪ (dramatic intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we've got a new challenge for you.
Our first ever Try Not to Get Confused Challenge.
- Oh no. I'm gonna lose this.
I get confused easily.
- (FBE) So, there have been several video compilations
and even a whole subreddit dedicated to this kind
of confusing content. We've gathered some of
the most confusing things on the web to see if we
can confuse you. - Man, jeez.
It's high school all over again. Teachers just trying to see
if they can confuse me.
- (FBE) We're gonna have you rate them on a scale
of one to five based on how confusing you thought
each one was. - Got it.
- Okay, got it.
- (FBE) You ready to do this? - Yeah, absolutely.
Let's do it.
- "Underwater or above water?"
- (gasps) Oh wow.
Okay, that is actually very confusing.
- It's above water. Oh no, it's underwater.
- Oh no, you underwater, man. Come on, come on.
He's underwater.
- It would seem like it's underwater,
but I'm guessing it's above water.
- I think he's underwater. - No.
- Yes. - No.
- Yes.
- It's like he's kinda floating, but then--
wait. But then the ocean's
right there.
- Wait, how can water be in water?
- That's cool. That is cool.
Unfortunately for all you haters out there,
I have seen such things like that.
- It's like with SpongeBob when they have the beach
underwater. Come on.
That don't make sense.
- (FBE) Okay, so while we can't 100% confirm this,
we believe he's upside down, but underwater.
- I'm sorry.
- (FBE) He's not jumping down onto the surface,
he's jumping up toward the surface.
- Got you.
- (FBE) So, on a scale of one to five,
how confusing was that? - I'd give it a three.
- Three. I knew he was underwater.
- Three. - Two, for me.
- Four, because that ending was crazy.
- A three.
- That's a two on the confusion scale.
Less confused, more intrigued and wanting to learn more.
- I give it a three out of five.
- I give it a one.
- So, that is a one. Good try.
I'm too old for you though, internet.
I know your games.
- This seems fairly normal.
- Delinquents, what are you doing defying gravity?
What the heck?
- Whoa. - Reversed.
- It was backwards, wasn't it?
- That's cool. There's a guy in the background.
You gotta coordinate a lot to make that shot work.
- Okay, that's easy. One.
He did it-- it's just reversed.
- (both) One.
- One.
- One. Not confusing at all.
- One. Maybe I get less confused
and more intrigued just in general.
Maybe one man's confusion is another man's intrigue.
- I'd give it a one. Caught me off guard, though.
- One. If there are any
of my fellow YouTubers that got confused by that,
shame on you.
- One. - Yeah, one.
Did you see the guy in the back?
- He was like...
- Whoa. - Whoa.
- Whoa. - The cup just got huge.
- Oh. (laughs)
- That's a perspective shift, which is really effective
and I love those sorts of videos.
- That was a big glass.
- When it's far away, looks smaller,
but then as you get closer, it gets bigger.
- It looked so small and then it became so big.
That's what she said. I'm sorry.
- That's a five for me. - I don't really know.
- That was insane. - Hard four for sure.
- Three.
- Five. - Five, 'cause at first,
I was like, whoa.
- Three. It's all just about perspective.
- A four. I don't even know
how that would have been possible.
- It's cool. It's really well done,
but am I confused by it? No, I'm not.
One.
- I'd give it a one, man. That wasn't--
I got it. Call me detective.
- One, it's just a large vase and forced perspective.
I've seen the behind the scenes of Lord of the Rings.
We all know what Peter Jackson did.
You can't fool me.
- Okay, we're driving.
- It's gonna hit it.
- Oh, oh, oh.
- (gasps) Oh!
Barely made it, man.
- Oh gosh. Oh, oh.
That's a freaking Willy Wonka effect right there.
- I'm gonna say four because I don't understand
how that happened.
- Four.
- Two. - One.
Two? Hello?
- One, he's right.
- One.
- I give it a one, 'cause I wasn't confused.
- Four. - Five.
I thought it was gonna hit it. - I'm obviously very confused.
- A three as well. I wanna get more confused.
- Let's give it a two. That was great.
That was another optical illusion, I'm assuming,
where it's a perspective thing.
- Oh wow.
- This is super cool.
- What the F is that?
- Oh, let me guess, and then you turn it
and it's flat or something.
- Shut the front door.
- Whoa. I thought it was something else.
- It's a ball. It's a ball.
It's a ball. Look at me figure that out.
- Ow, my eyes. What was that?
- It's a paper weight or is--
it's a paper weight.
- I really thought it was a shell.
- It looks like the Dr. Who intro. - ♪ Du du du ♪
- I kind of expected that it would be something
like that, so I'll give that one a two.
- I'll give it a two. I knew what was going on.
- I give it a two. - Five for sure.
That one boggled my brain.
- One. It kind of explained it to you
when they showed the side of the paper weight.
- That was a five for me. I did not expect it to be that.
- Two. It looks like it's a ball.
- It's a four.
- Five. I didn't expect it
to turn and be a ball at all.
- One. I'm not confused by that.
I'm impressed. It's trickery.
It's an illusion, Michael.
- "Yeah, I just combined vertical and horizontal stripes."
Wait, what?
- I saw that on Twitter already.
- (gasps) Skinny legend.
How did she do that?
- I see it. I see it.
- Oh my God. I see it now.
- Her legs look so tiny, but I know it's the stripe.
- That's cool. That's actually really disorienting.
- Wow, so that's the side of her pants,
kind of like me. It kind of looks like
I have four legs right here, but really, I only have one leg.
- That was a three. It didn't last long.
- I liked that one. I give it a three too.
- One. - I'll say one.
- A two. That kinda confused me.
- That one was my favorite. I'm gonna give that one a five.
- That was definitely a four.
- A two. It took me a second.
That was great.
- Two.
- That was a one from me. I grew up with stacks
of these books that I would make my parents buy me
when I was a kid of optical illusions.
I love that stuff.
- "There are 16 circles in this image.
Can you see them?"
- Where the hell are the circles?
- Not seeing it at all.
- Yes. - Whoa, okay.
Yeah, I can see them.
- 16 circles? Oh, I see the circles.
- Oh yeah. Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh.
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
- I see them. I just have to look back
and then open my eyes really wide.
- You have to look-- no, literally Hannah, look.
- You are such a liar. - I am not lying.
Look. - (mocking her)
- No, I'm dea-- Hannah.
- There is nothing there. - No, stare.
They're going like this. Look, look, look, koíta.
Sorry, I'm speaking Greek. - Oh.
- Do you see them? - Oh my God, five.
- I say two.
- One, 'cause I see it.
- That is a one. I've seen everything.
- This one's a five.
- I give that one a four. That was phenomenal.
- I give it a three.
- One. - That was a one.
I got that. - But initially,
it was like a five.
- Five. I really could not find
them at first at all.
- What are we-- oh, cool.
Oh, that's clever.
- I think I've seen this photo before.
- Well, how's her hair in the wind?
- I see a car parked next to a van.
- (FBE) Are you sure? - Yes.
The wheel-- wait, oh.
No, dang it.
- (gasps) Cool.
- What? - It's the van on top
of the car, right? Right?
- No, it's a sticker. - Wait, what?
- The car's fake. Car is fake.
- (FBE) So, what you're looking at is a photo
of one van. - One van.
- (FBE) That car is painted onto the van.
- The car is painted on the van?
Oh my gosh, I thought that was--
whoa. That is good.
- I like that one. - I would trip out
if I saw that on the freeway.
- Oh, I love that one so much. Four.
- That's a two. It took me a second.
- One. - Yeah.
- That one was for sure a one. - That was pretty easy.
- Three.
- Four. That took me a minute.
- Four. - Two, because I figured it out.
- Solid three.
- Definitely a five. I thought it was two cars
in that picture.
- Oh no.
- Ah, what the heck?
- It looks like two dogs mashed up together.
- Oh my God, I thought it was some
mutated dog face or something.
- See, I've seen this before, but it's still messing me up.
- I've seen this before. I sent you this.
- Here's the dog-- no.
Oh, it's a dog on his side.
- Oh no. - It looks like a little
warped-- oh, I see him.
He's flipped upside down.
- It's definitely a dog. - (FBE) Is it?
- Oh, you're not gonna do this. No, it's definitely a dog.
- I got it. It's a purse.
It's just a purse. Dang it, okay.
It's an animal.
- He's being all cute dog. He's being a cute dog.
- I give it a five. I really thought it got
in an accident or something. That's why I didn't want
to make fun of it.
- One. - Five.
- Yeah, I give it a two.
- Two. Just takes a little bit
of perspective shifting.
- It's a five. I have no idea what this is.
- One. I picked it out right away.
- Five. I still see a deformed,
injured animal.
- Two, just 'cause it took me a second.
- I'll give this one a five. It's a challenging one
that really plays on your mind.
- Oh, I know this one.
- I don't get how you do it.
- Captain Disillusion did an awesome, awesome
tutorial and explanation for this.
- Is there somebody on the other side of the mirror?
- This is witchcraft.
- Now that's what I call witchcraft.
- That's cool. That's cool.
- I still don't get that one, how it's separated
and that one's together. Or that.
- They're somehow concaved or layered,
so that you turn them around. You have to have the right angle.
- Smoke and mirrors. Just smoke and mirrors.
That's all it is, man. He had a fog machine
to throw you off. Yeah, that's what it is.
- It obviously has to be angled, the cylinders.
There's a scientifical explanation.
- (FBE) So, the pieces are curved in such a way
that at some angles, they look perfectly straight
and at other angles, they look perfectly curved.
- Wow.
- That's super, super cool. I love that.
- That's a five. That's a really good five.
- Dude, yes. Five.
I still don't get that one. That's the only one
I still don't even get.
- Two. It's clearly not
a regular mirror.
- Five.
- Probably give that one a five.
- That was confusing. I give that a five.
- That's a one. I know the whole story
of what I just saw.
- Five, 100%. Five, far and away,
hands down winner.
- I'll give it a three. - That's bizarre.
Five. - Is that all?
I wanna watch a thousand more of those.
Those were so much fun.
- Overall, this was really fun. I wanna go home
and do more of these.
- Some of them really threw me off,
made me question how good my eyes are.
- You feel like everything's been done in a lot of ways,
but then you see stuff like that and you're like,
"Yes, there are still chances to be surprised
in this world."
