- Aah!
- Oh! God! Oh! Oh!
Aaaaah!!
♪ (ragtime music) ♪
- (FBE) So today we're going to have you take on a challenge.
- I love challenges.
- (FBE) It's called the Reddit 50/50 Challenge.
- Reddit? What's Reddit?
- Isn't Reddit some kinda thing on the internet?
- I just heard about it.
I just heard "Reddit," and I thought they were saying "Brexit."
- (FBE) So Reddit is a popular site.
And one of the subsections is called Reddit 50/50,
because when you click,
it will take you to one of the two descriptions provided.
But you won't know which one. - Oh, so a gamble.
- (FBE) Usually one is great to look at,
and the other is usually pretty... - Edgy.
- (FBE) Edgy, we'll say, yeah. - (laughs)
- (FBE) Now, sometimes it could go either way.
And sometimes it's always one way or the other.
But we've made sure to keep them all the same
so everyone in this episode can have the same experience.
Are you ready to take on the challenge?
- You bet I'm ready to take on any challenge.
- I think it will be fun.
I'm pretty open-minded.
- (FBE) Okay, here's the first one.
- Okay, "50/50, chubby cat running around the house."
- "Power tool accident. Not safe for work." Oh yeah, okay.
I'll take the cat, thank you.
- Definitely the chubby cat.
I don't want to see any power tool accidents.
- Let's go.
(affectionately) Oh! Oh! Oh.
- (chuckles) What a fat-ass cat.
- He's moving. He must be headed to the refrigerator.
- Ohh. (chuckles)
How can anybody do that to their cat, let it get so fat?
- Very basic. Nothing more to it.
- "A scoop of chocolate ice cream on a cone."
"Testicles on a cone." You wouldn't do that.
- Well, I sure as heck don't need to see testicles on a cone.
- I gotta look at the testicles on the cone.
- Go for it.
- It's chocolate ice cream. Wait a second.
(chuckles) Yeah. As I look closer,
I think that ain't chocolate ice cream on a cone.
- (chuckling uncontrollably)
- To tell you the truth, it does not look very tasty.
- What kind of game is this anyway?
- Chocolate on ice cream? Sure, that's normal.
But testicles on a cone? That's not normal.
- Nothing's made me nauseous yet, although that one was close.
- "Smallpox or small fox."
- "Smallpox... not safe for work. Not safe for..."
- (FBE) "Life." - Oh goodness.
- I would click on the small fox. I have no, you know,
urge to see someone with smallpox.
- Aww. What a cutie.
- I never knew the small fox have big ears like that.
- Smallpox is horrible.
That'd be kinda gross. No, that's very cute.
- Okay, that was better. That was good. Good with that.
- It could be something "aww" or "eww."
I like it.
- "Danny DeVito crawling out of Kim Kardashian's butt."
Oh, that sounds lovely.
"Kim Kardashian on the beach."
- I want to be on the beach.
- I'm not a big fan of the Kardashians,
so I really don't care which one. (chuckles)
- (chuckling)
(laughing)
This is funnier. I don't know if she appreciate it.
- Oh! (stammers) God!
Oh, that's enough.
- Wow, here comes Danny DeVito. (chuckles)
I wonder how it was up in there, Danny.
- That bothers me. That's-- it's gross.
- It's weird. I'm not clear what the point of the--
I'm not clear. There's no endgame.
You just click, and you get one of the other options.
- "Cat poses for a picture. Man falls into a vat of acid."
I hope it's the picture.
- No desire to see man falling into a vat of acid.
- Uh-oh. That could leave a blemish on your skin.
- No, I want "cat poses for a picture."
- (delighted) Ohh, it is a cat! Hello!
- Aww, say, isn't that cute?
- There. Thank you. (chuckles)
It's a cute little cat, all furry. Hello.
- I got cats. I'm happy.
- Everybody loves cats. It's so interesting. I do too.
- "Baby animal compilation. Clip from weird Japanese movie."
- I'm gonna go for the Japanese movie,
'cause they do some weird stuff.
(characters speaking Japanese)
- And it's the weird clip from a Japanese movie.
- Come on, just show us. Let's go.
- (screams)
- Oh, he's embarrassed about... his nipples. (laughs)
- (chuckling)
- Oh my goodness.
- That's-- that's a sense of humor I do not understand.
- (wheezy laugh) This is a really strange film.
- Heh. This is sick.
(smack) Ha.
(smack) - Oh!! God! Oh! Oh!
Aaaah!
- I said the Japanese did weird stuff.
- That was a weird Japanese movie.
Played with his tits and balls. Uh-uh.
- "Blonde woman is beheaded and eaten by large, fleshy alien
and is pooped out in a bloody mess."
(contains laugh) "Brown-haired, perky-breasted girl
does a jump rope exercise while completely naked."
Well, obviously, I'm hoping for the second one.
- "Brown-haired, perky-breasted girl does a jump rope exercise
while completely naked." Are you kidding? I love jump roping.
I mean, that's the only reason.
- This is 50/50 bad and bad though. That's not really an option.
- Oh! Beheaded by an alien.
(sighs uneasily)
- (disgusted) Oh.
- (chuckling)
- Going through the system.
(chuckling)
- I didn't get the one I wanted, I know that.
- Oh. (squeaky chuckling) That's awful.
- It actually reminded me of the kind of films we did as kids,
you know, with the Super 8.
- If you like horror movies, stuff like that, then it's great.
But this right here is sick.
- "Dog chases tail and catches it.
Marlin impales fisherman's leg." Oh.
- I've seen a dog chase its tail. I want to see the marlin.
- Okay, the-- AAHHH!
(loud groan)
- Aaah! Ha-ha-ha.
Oh my goodness.
- Oh God. No, I-- no, that's it.
- Hmm.
That's horrible.
- Oh.
Oh. God, no.
(fisherman laughs) - And he's still laughing.
- He's laughing. Bless him.
But he got the fish, that's why.
They probably gave him a bottle of booze to drink.
- That made me, like, weak in the knees. Ugh.
- "Pack of wild dogs devour remains of dead cow.
And puppy wheel."
- I watch Animal Planet all the time. I see this crap.
So let me go with the puppy wheel.
- I don't know what a puppy wheel is,
so I'm gonna say puppy wheel.
And I'm not watching the other thing if it comes up.
- A puppy wheel!
Oh, look at that!
- Ohh.
- Aww. Aww. Oh my god, it's so cute. (chuckles)
- Oh, oh, I see. Oh, isn't that cute?
- Finally a good one. That was good.
- "Cute alpaca. Maggots for eyes."
- "Maggots for eyes." Ooh-wee.
- I don't want to see no stinkin' maggots.
- Cute alpaca, please!
- Aah, no!
- Oh God. Okay. No, I'll have nightmares.
- Oh. Oh, please, that I-- that I'd have a nightmare.
- Maggots for eyes. That's a shame.
(chuckling) Oh gosh.
- I don't even want to look at more of that.
- Yeah, that's pretty unwatchable. Okay, there goes lunch.
- Oh my gosh.
Now, is this a medical treatment?
- Disgusting. It's terrible. It's awful.
I probably will have trouble sleeping tonight.
- (FBE) So how was your first experience
taking on the Reddit 50/50 Challenge?
- I get why people do it. It is a little bit of a surprise.
- Once you showed me a couple clips and I realize how it works,
definitely. It's a site that people-- or I am--
will be checking out.
- When you get to be a certain age
and you know you only have so much time in the day,
you don't waste it with that stuff. (chuckles)
- I don't see the point of it. I see no endgame here.
- My stomach's upset. It just-- I'm like, "Yuck."
I don't understand why anyone would waste their time
sitting around waiting to see if they're gonna be grossed out.
