- (FBE) Today, we're going to show you a series of videos.
- All right.
- (FBE) And the challenge is--
- To try not to laugh or smile while watching.
- (FBE) You can't CRY while watching.
- (incredulously) I can't cry while watching?
- My eyes are tearing up. Where are the tissues?
Last time, you had protective stuff over this.
You should probably have it again.
- (FBE) For this challenge, whether or not you cry,
we'll have you rate the videos on a scale of one to five
based on emotional you thought it was. - Oh my god.
(laughing) Okay.
This is a great start to my day, by the way (laughing)
because I have to go to work after this.
- (FBE) All right, so we have one more thing for you.
- All right. - (FBE) Just in case.
- Aww! Thanks.
- I was going to ask.
I might need these. You never know.
I mean-- (manly) I don't need 'em.

- (voice-over) I didn't know I had a twin brother.
- Oh!
- (softly) Oh.
- (voice-over) In my heart... - There's tears in his eyes.
- (voice-over) ...I always had a feeling that I did have a twin brother.
- Oh my god.
- Long lost twins in real life?
- (George) For 70 years... - 70 years?
That's ridiculous.
- (George) ...unknown things.
- "Their mother Elizabeth was a Polish Catholic.
During World War II, she was held in a forced labor camp in Germany."
(exhaling deeply)
- Okay. Okay.
Oh, heart-wrenching.
- (George) We were adopted by two different families.
- Oh my god.
- (George) We didn't know anything about each other.
I never knew when this day is going to happen,
but I always was thinking one day...
- Tissue won. - (George) ...I'm going find my brother.
- Oh!
- (voice-over) There he is... - Oh my god!
- (Lucien laughing)
(speaking Polish) - That's so cool.
Wow.
- (softly) Oh my god!
(speaking Polish)
- See, this is fine.
As long as they're happy, I'm good.
(applause)
- (George) Thank you very much.
- Imagine seeing a mirror version of yourself as an adult.
Are you kidding me?
(speaking Polish)
- So... so happy. These are tears of joy.
- (FBE) On a scale of one to five, how would you rate this video?
- Two. I don't think that was insanely emotional,
just a decent video.
- Two.
- A one.
- Four.
- A three.
- I want to say a three.
- A four.
- A five.
- A 3.5.
I've got some tears here.
I didn't get the full streaming action.
- A five.
My mom's a twin and so I can't even imagine
my mom and my aunt not knowing each other.
- Two because it's still happy!
They got to meet each other.
Still feeling good.
We'll see what else you throw at me.

-Okay.
- That was a good one.
- (FBE) On a scale of one to five, what do you think of this one?
- Two and a half.
- One.
- A one.
- That's, like, a one.
- A three.
- Three.
It's very sweet, but it wasn't necessarily as deeply emotionally impactful.
- Four.
- A three.
- As it ended and I realized, whoa, this is a really great commercial,
I'd say a four or five.
- The whole thing revolved around their product,
so it kind of took away a lot of the emotion.
I'll give it a two.
- Because I've seen it so much, I give it a three.
- That was, like, a three.
I was like, oh no! (laughing) The feels.
The feels. No.
(silence)
- "Little boy lost his dog"-- oh no.
"A few weeks before Christmas.
Today was his lucky day."

- (boy, tearfully) Kase! I missed you.
(boy sobbing)
- How sweet.
(boy sobbing)
- What are you doing to me? (giggling)
- I feel bad, but I'm going backwards.
It's like a two.
- One.
If it was my dog, it would have hit me harder.
- Three.
- Four.
- That's three as well.
- A four.
- That's a five.
- Five. It was so sweet.
- Without the music and everything else, I'd give it a three.
- Three and a half.
That's kid's real emotions.
- That one was definitely a five.
He was licking away his little tears.
- Okay, let me just clean myself up again.
- Do your worst.
- (Mufasa) Hold on, Simba! - Really?
The Lion King?
- Oh, it was always emotional when I was a kid.
Probably the first thing that made me cry if we're being honest.
- This is cruel!
- (exhaling heavily) - (Mufasa roaring)
- See, and right here you think... ah, you're going to make it.
(Mufasa snarling in pain)

Dad? - It's tough.

- It really hurts because they don't even give him
one final goodbye to his son.
It's just, like, gone.

That's always a five.
- A two.
- Three.
- Four.
- A five.
- Five for that one.
- A solid four.
- A five.
- Three.
Just because I've seen it so much.
- That's a five.
It's, like, about as sad as it gets.
- By far, that's a five.
Easily one of the most terrible moments in film.
- That one's a five.
The dad trying desperately to save his son,
like, come on!
Oh my god.
- (FBE) Jim, no tears?
- I almost cried and I had to fight.
I had to fight.
Great job.
- I'm fairly desensitized at this point.
Maybe I spend a little too much time on the internet.
- Those were rough.
My heart is weeping.
I need a laugh challenge now.
- I have to go back to work now.
Like, can I take a break?
Can we go watch Reading Rainbow or something,
like, cheer myself up?
