- This is a tough list. - (FBE) Yeah.
- I've never thought of this before.
I've never thought where I would put Marshmallow on the scale.
I really hate to put him on the softboi scale.
I just don't wanna be anywhere near Sheldon Cooper though.
- (FBE) Ethan, you are a self-proclaimed softboi.
- Yeah.
- (FBE) What does a softboi mean?
- It came from my community, and they were like
Ethan, you're so soft! You're so cute, whatever.
Like you couldn't hurt anyone ever! Little do they know.
I've hurt so many people on the inside.
But yeah, they're like you're so soft!
And so I was like okay, sure, and then I made merch out of it.
- (FBE) Good to have that out of the way,
'cause today we got the softboi or hardboi challenge for you.
- Great.
- (FBE) We're gonna show you some well-known people
and celebrities, and you'll have to tell us whether you think
they're a hardboi or a softboi, and why?
- Wonderful, alright. I am very ready.
Thank you so much for making this quiz for me.
Very excited.
- (FBE) How would you define a softboi?
- Baby Yoda's probably like the softest of the, like,
he couldn't do anything wrong.
- (FBE) And then on the flip side, who is chief hardboi?
- Maybe like Hulk Hogan?
- (FBE) From Baby Yoda to Hulk Hogan.
- Yeah! - (FBE) That's our scale.
- That's the scale.
- (FBE) And then, just lastly, is there like a true neutral?
Just a boi?
- True neutral, maybe Obama? - (FBE) Obama! (laughs)
Okay so... - Yeah, because like,
you know, he's got like a sweet, really sweet side,
but also, he could kick some [censored], if he needs to.
- (FBE) Like don't [censored] with him.
- Yeah, exactly!
- (FBE) Here's the first boi.
It's everyone favorite Canadian pop star, Justin Bieber.
- Ah, Justin Bieber. Oh man.
Alright, I think he's on the harder scale.
He puts off this bad boy vibe,
but it's not in like a great way, you know?
How you can have like the bad boy,
and it's like attractive? - (FBE) Mm-hmm.
- Like, he's kind of, he's kind of there,
but he also kind of a tool.
This is the scale, this is middle,
this is soft, this is hard. He's like here, I think.
Yeah. - (FBE) Yeah.
- Because true over here is like aw man,
I've got a lot of respect for them, you know?
- (FBE) Yeah.
- I don't have a ton of respect for him,
but also, I don't feel like I would be comforted by him either.
- (FBE) Next up, we have the sexiest mustache in showbiz,
that's right, Dr. Phil! - Oh, Dr. Phil!
Wow, you know?
You can't look at Dr. Phil and not feel comforted.
You know, I think he's close behind Obama.
Because he as well, can put people in their place.
- (FBE) Yeah. - When it needs to be done.
So if Obama's here, Dr. Phil's like here.
- (FBE) Yeah. - He's very close.
I feel like he's one of the only older celebrity figures
that does things to try and be hip and in the now,
and it doesn't come across as cringy, it comes across as endearing.
He's like a grandfather in a sense, I know he's not that old,
but it's oh, it's really cute that you're trying.
I appreciate the effort.
- (FBE) Next up, he DJs and wears a funny hat.
Yep, that's right, it's Marshmallow.
- Oh, marshmallow, okay.
Do we know what his voice sounds like? Has he done interviews before?
I have no idea, I don't listen to his music,
so I wouldn't know.
- (FBE) And at the same time too, it's like, his mask is kinda scary,
but his name's Marshmallow. - Yeah.
- (FBE) And that's like the softest of all treats.
- Mm-hmm, yeah, you know, this is a tough list.
- (FBE) Yeah. - I've never thought of this before.
I've never thought where I'd put Marshmallow on the scale.
I think he's on the softer side. He loves entertaining people.
He loves bringing people joy.
That doesn't seem like he's got a lot of attitude to him.
You know, he's under Obama, and under Dr. Phil.
More on the softer side. So if they're here,
he's like in the middle of the softboi range, I think.
- (FBE) Moving on, next up, we got Princess Leia.
- Hell yeah. Alright, she's close to Hulk Hogan.
For sure. - (FBE) Wow, okay!
- Like, yeah, and that's not a bad thing at all.
I wanna make it very clear.
The hard side of the scale, not a bad thing.
Does not mean you're a bad guy.
Just means, you can kick some [censored].
And Princess Leia can definitely do that.
Honestly, I might change the scale.
I might say that Princess Leia is above Hulk Hogan, perhaps.
- (FBE) Wow. - Because I feel like
if Princess Leia and Hulk Hogan got into the ring,
she would just like completely tower above Hulk Hogan.
Princess Leia, she's not letting anybody walk on her.
Her midi-chlorians are off the chart. She has more than Hulk Hogan, so...
- (FBE) Yeah. - Yeah, we're changing the scale.
- (FBE) Moving on, we have this guy, he was the rhythm section
for the Beatles, Ringo Starr. - Ah, Ringo Starr.
- (FBE) Where's he at? - Hmm. (laughs)
Is this mean?
When I look at Ringo, I just feel bad for him.
I don't know why. - (FBE) I just feel bad!
- I just feel bad for Ringo, he's definitely on the softer scale,
but not in like, not in a cute way.
You just kinda feel bad for him.
I don't know where to place him on the scale.
Definitely on the softboi side. - (FBE) Mm-hmm.
- But I just feel bad. (laughs)
- (FBE) I also saw an advertisement in a magazine a couple years ago,
where he was wearing Sketchers, it was for like a Sketchers ad,
and he's worth like half a billion dollars.
He doesn't need money, which means,
I think he's just such a huge fan of Sketchers,
I'm sure he contacted them. - Yeah.
That's rough, oh Ringo, feel bad for ya, bud.
- (FBE) Now next one we have is the inventor of Quidditch herself.
- Wonderful. - (FBE) J.K. Rowling.
- Alright, J.K. Rowling.
I loved the literature that she has made.
- (FBE) Mm-hmm. - Her, as a person,
I feel like I wouldn't be comforted by.
From her social media, she seems very aggressive.
- (FBE) Yeah. - And so, like,
the stuff that she's made would be on the softer side.
You know, it's got some darker tones, but Harry, in my heart,
is one of the softest bois. - (FBE) Mm-hmm.
- But J.K. herself, I feel like is on the harder scale.
I think that she would be above Justin Bieber,
because I think that Justin Bieber, I think he talks a lot of game,
but I don't think, you know, if he were to fight back,
I don't think it'd be a lot.
J.K. Rowling, on the other hand,
I feel like could really kick it down if she needed to.
- (FBE) Next up, we got Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper!
- Ah God. - (FBE) Bazinga!
- Man, I really hate to put him on the softboi scale,
because I myself am on the softboi scale.
I hate confrontation so much.
I just don't wanna be anywhere near Sheldon Cooper though.
I guess he is a softboi, but he does like confrontation.
He's definitely there, but more on the pathetic side.
- (FBE) Yeah. (laughs)
- I just, I don't know what it is.
It's not Sheldon Cooper, it's the writing.
That's my issue. (laughs)
- (FBE) Next up, we got a guy who I'm pretty sure is a rapper.
His name's Lil Xan. - Oh, Lil Xan.
I'm not a fan of Lil Xan either.
He seems like a dude that talks a lot of game as well.
But really can't dish it out.
But you know, he's got a lot of bravado.
So I'm gonna put him on the hardboi scale,
a bit above Obama. He's a little arrogant, I feel like.
- (FBE) Yeah. - And Obama's very humble.
- (FBE) Even if you're the softest boi ever,
I think if you have more than one face tattoo...
- Yeah, you know, you can't be included
in the softboi scale if you have more than one face tattoo.
- (FBE) Next up, she gave Anne Hathaway PTSD,
that's right, we're talking Miranda Priestly.
This is from The Devil Wears Prada.
We're not talking about Meryl Streep.
- Okay, okay, okay. I was very confused for a second.
I was like that's Meryl Streep.
I don't know this character, but, from the gaze,
I can already tell that she's a bad [censored], you know?
- (FBE) Yeah. - And Meryl Streep herself
would be on the hardboi scale for sure.
So Miranda is also going on the hardboi scale.
That stare alone, again. - (FBE) Yeah.
- Really shows what is behind those eyes.
Destruction, you know? - (FBE) Yeah.
- Suffering of others, that is caused by her.
- (FBE) Next up, former Vice President, Al Gore.
- I don't know much about Al Gore. I was born in 1996.
So, I was young when he was around.
I remember when the Iraq War was happening,
I thought they were talking about a rock, and I was very confused
as to why so many people were fighting over a rock.
This might be the toughest one of all. - (FBE) Yeah.
- I really don't know where to put you, Al Gore.
We are definitely putting him on the softer side.
Where on the softer side, I don't know.
Definitely below Dr. Phil on the softboi scale.
- (FBE) I'm not saying that people on the hard side don't recycle,
I'm just saying that if you are a hardboi,
you're probably less likely to recycle, so I like this pick.
- Yeah, you're definitely, you've littered before, I think.
- (FBE) Yeah.
Here is our final one, he's a dad,
he's got a mullet, Billy Ray.
- Billy Ray Cyrus, wow.
You know, if you had asked me where to place him
before the Old Town Road remix,
I would've had a very different answer.
- (FBE) Mm-hmm.
- I'm going to put him on the softboi side.
- (FBE) Interesting! - But, but,
I'm putting him above Dr. Phil.
He does have, you know, that endearing like southern charm.
Southern hospitality. - (FBE) Yes.
- You know, if you go to his house, let's say like hey,
can I cook you up a plate of collard greens?
- (FBE) Yeah. - Something like that.
But again, he has a full ranch of horses.
He has discipline. He has worth ethic.
And you know, if somebody comes on to his property
without him inviting them,
you know, he's gonna chase them off for sure.
- (FBE) He also has majestic eyes.
- Yeah, those baby blues hold so much behind them.
- (FBE) You can drown in those puppies.
- So much love, but also so much mystery.
