- (laughing) This is too much for my virgin eyes!
- Oh-- oh, I'm going to gag.
(giggling)
(gagging)
- Everyday, we're faced with straight edges and clean lines
and everything-- it's the nasty shit, the awkward shit, that I live for.
♪ (dramatic tone) ♪
- (FBE) So today we're going to show you a series of videos
but the challenge is you have to try not to cringe while watching.
- Oh my gosh! - Oh no!
- (whinging) Oh no! Try not to cringe?!
But I cringe so easily.
- I'm so good at this. Never cringe.
- What constitutes a cringe because I think
my natural resting face might be cringe.
- (FBE) So we're interested to hear how cringe-worthy these videos
are to you when you'll just be hearing them.
Have you ever heard of this trend before?
- I've seen some cringe-worthy, but I don't know
if my cringe is different than everybody elses.
- (FBE) So we're not going to X you out if you lose,
but after each video you have to give it a score of one to five
based on how cringe-worthy you thought it was.
- Okay. Okay.
I'm going to pretend that other people are getting eliminated
because that's what drives me.
- Oh, I'm nervous!
I'm already cringing (laughing) and it hasn't started.
- (woman) Hey, I'm Dena.
Look at my feet. My feet are straight ahead.
You don't want to do that. - (laughing) What is this?
- Is this a breakdancing tutorial?
- (Dena) And that's what makes it look like hip hop.
- No, wait, she's teaching hip hop?
- (Dena) You want to turn your feet out,
and then do this backwards.
And that's what makes it look like hip hop.
Everything's down low. It all is in a plié.
The more relaxed you are-- that's what makes it hip hop.
- That's what makes it hip hop?
- (Dena) This is the first thing I want to say to you.
You want to do hip hop? You got to stand like this.
- (scoffiing)
- (Dena) And a hip hop head, we have this.
Boom! Bam!
Every time: Uh! Uh! - Uh! Uh!
Uh! Uh!
- (Dena) ...boom, bam, every time.
Uh! Uh! - (whispering) Boom, bam.
- (Dena) Boom, bam. Every time: Uh!
- (laughing) Boom, bam.
- (Dena) This is what we call popping.
Ah, straight. - Who did she--
- That is NOT popping. - That is not popping.
Where did she learn this from?
- (Dena) Ah, straight. - (parroting) Ah, straight.
- (Dena) I went to this club, right...
- (breathlessly) It's so painful!
- (Dena) No baggy pants and no sneakers.
I was, wow... - (giggling)
- (Dena) I took some of this from an African piece.
- Okay, cultural re-appropriation.
- (Dena) But in hip hop, it's like this.
See, there's a difference.
It's like this. See, there's a difference.
♪ (hip hop music) ♪ - Oh...
- Are they all going skydiving after?
- I can't cringe at this because they're dancing better
than I ever could.
- (Dena) People ask me all the time:
what are you doing to do when hip hop goes out?
- (suppressed laughter)
- (Dena) Hip hop is an attitude. - (laughing)
- (Dena) Hip hop is an attitude. - Mmm!
- (Dena) It's right here. - Mmm! It's in the heart.
- (Dena) It's how you feel. It's a style.
So it can't go out. - Oh my word.
She is the Michael Scott of hip hop dance.
- Is that hip hop?
- Hip hop is an attitude.
- I cringed a lot. That was really painful for me!
- (FBE) On a scale of one to five, how cringe-worthy was that?
- On a scale of one to five, a... two.
I feel like I didn't understand it and now I understand hip hop.
- Probably a three. - Two.
- Two. - Three.
- Two! - Three!
- I would say a two.
- That was a one.
There was nothing cringy about that for me whatsoever.
- I know it's going to get worse, so I'm going to give that a two.
- It was a two.
- One. It's a character I would play.
- She gets a five.
- One cringe-worthy, five comedy.
- It was zero cringe.
- It wasn't that cringe.
It was like a three.
I'm ready. Show me the next one.
Come on.
- (FBE) So this next video involves on camera awkwardness
between two news reporters. - (amused) Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!
Here we go! This might make me cringe.
- (Hitchener) It's the last time that we'll be working together
for a little while because-- - Oh, these news ones always get me.
- (Hitchener) Giving birth to those twins of yours.
- Aww.
- (Hitchener) We'll all miss you, but of course...
- She's got twins!
- (Judd) Thank you. I'll miss you all too.
Wish me luck. I am going to need it!
- (Jones) Yeah, well... - What is he doing?
- Is he hitting on her?
- (Jones) Yeah, well, I'll tell you, the Carlton supporters are very excited.
- What's-- why is--? - (Jones) Yeah, exactly.
- (laughter) - (Jones) Good luck, mate.
- (Judd gasps and laughs anxiously) - (Jones) Okay, good.
Good luck, mate. - Wooooooo!
- (anxiously) Oh no!
(laughing)
- What the [bleep]?! - WHOA!
- (Jones) Good luck, mate. - (Judd gasps) Ooh!
- (FBE) He leaned in for a kiss and got rejected.
- Ah ha ha ha ha!
- (Jones) This is going well. - Why? Why?
Why did he do that?
- Oh my god! - She dissed him so bad.
- That's such a cringe.
- That's getting replayed at the holiday party.
- That was a four.
It's uncomfortable.
You work with that person and then they lean in for a kiss.
- For me, it's a five. - Really?
I guess, for me, she's more funny,
so I'd say that was more like a three.
- That was a three.
- The body language. She was just like--
he was just-- mmm! That's a four.
- That's about a one as well.
I didn't-- it was more funny than anything else.
- I'm going to also give that one a two.
- That's level five cringe.
- You know, let's do three because he kind of had it coming.
- That was a five. That was very cringy.
- Five.
- Yeah, I would say probably a five.
- That was some creepy old man shit right there.
- That's a four.
It's like I'm putting myself in his shoes,
and I would never want to go back to work again.
- (FBE) Now here's a few clips that all happened
during the same live show. - I'm ready, okay.
(silence)
- (FBE) Okay, so the text on screen says,
"Everything you're about to see actually happened live on air."
- Oh-- OH, okay.
- "The F bombs, the lack of audio, the cuts to black,
the awkward pauses."
- (man) Come on, man. Don't [bleep] give me shit.
- Yeah, I hear a lot of bad words.
- (moaning anxiously)
I bet the FCC had a field day with this.
- (man) Where's our camera guy? - Oh shit.
- (man) Where is our-- where is our stage manager?
- Where is the stage manager?
- (man) Don't talk in the mic. They can hear you.
- (chuckling) Don't talk into the mic. They're going to hear you.
- (man) You ready to go? (conversation)
- (man) All right, welcome back to 2013...
- This was live? When did this happen?
- (announcer) The jalapeno turkey burger.
New at Carl's Jr.
(conversations)
- I am so nervous right now. What is about to happen?
- (host) Are we back?
(awkward silence)
Are we back?
- (giggling) "Are we back?"
- (woman) Jamie, what's going on over there?
Are you jealous that I'm hanging out with a hot Playboy model
and a really hot burger? - This guy is so confused.
- That's not even Jamie.
- So yeah, it's me, Jesse [Inaudible].
I wish I was Jamie Kennedy.
But you know-- - I am so confused.
Like, I feel so uncomfortable.
I haven't cringed too hard yet though.
- (Jesse) All of this cringe stuff has Jamie acting a little bit different.
You'll see what I mean. Check this out.
(audience wooing)
- No way!
- Cut back to the Playboy model.
- Oh no! There's no audio.
- Yes, this is good to reflect.
- This is the most disorganized show in the world.
(audience cheering)
(awkward silence)
- (wheezing laughter)
- (Jesse) Well, I can honestly say I have never laughed more
at any of Jamie Kennedy's material. - (laughing) Oh my god!
How is this still going?
- (Jesse) What's your name, sir? - Calvin Mother[bleep]--
- Whoa!
- (Jesse) What is your name? - (woman) His mother.
- (cracking up)
- (Jesse) It's New Years Eve 2013. What is your name?
- (woman) His mother.
- Oh, she must be proud.
- That happened, all like that?
- (host) What's your resolution for 2013?
- (woman) Um, to just rid of all my haters.
- (host) All your haters? - Oh, Miranda Sings.
- (woman) ...get rid of all my haters. - (cracking up)
- (host) Can I ask you something?
- She's so drunk!
- (woman) Just get rid of all my haters. - (giggling)
- Get rid of the haters.
- (host) They say once you go black-- - (woman) You never go back!
- (host) Yeah, well, I'm saying you should try white.
- Oh my word.
- (host) Because it'll keep your vagina very tight.
Bleep that! Bleep that!
- (host) Because it'll keep your vagina very tight.
- (deep gasp) - (host) Bleep that!
- (wheezing) Oh my god!
- (host) Because it'll keep your vagina very tight.
Bleep that! Bleep that!
- What am I watching?!
- Five. That was five. (laughing)
- Maybe a three.
It seems like no one cares.
Everyone seems kind of drunk.
- Four. - A four.
- A good four. - That was cringy.
- That was awful. That was a really high four.
- I have to say that was probably a four.
- I'll give it a four.
- I'd say a three.
- It didn't really make me cringe.
It was just... mmm... I'd give it a three.
- Oh no, I think that's a four.
That was pretty cringy.
- I'm going to say it's a three.
- One.
- Yeah, maybe like a one.
There was probably thirty people that got fired that day.
- (man) [Inaudible].
- Oh?
- Dick slang. - Oh jeez!
- Oh, dick slang. I've seen this.
This is really art.
- (man) Buh! Buh! Buh! Buh! Buh!
- (parroting) Buh! Buh!
- (man) Dick slang.
- I see why you're showing me this video in a cringe list now.
- (man) Dick slang!
♪ (rap music playing)
- Oh heck no.
- (man) Dick slang!
- (giggling)
I feel violated!
- What?! Why?!
- Okay... (giggling) This is too much for my virgin eyes.
- Jesus Christ.
Is that his penis?
- Dude, that guy has a big ass dick.
What the [bleep]? - (cracking up)
- I'm not going to lie.
I've done this at my old high school theatre days.
- Oh man, they're just getting warmed up!
Boys just want to have fun.
- My grandmother is going to be mad you showed that to me.
- (FBE) A little more info: the video you just watched
was sort of a bunch of guys dancing to a song
with their genitals flopping around in their shorts.
- Oh no.
That's a two.
- This is a two.
What a great ad for basketball shorts.
- A five. - No, like, six for me.
- Four just because they weren't all in sync.
- Five? That's just distasteful.
- One. - Yeah, one.
- It's like a dance I made up in elementary school.
- Yeah.
- That's a five. That's a five.
- I say a one.
I don't think anyone was awkward in the room.
- Four.
- That was a two.
Did you see that thing?
- It's a zero cringe!
Why would anybody cringe at that?
It's just anatomy, everyone.
- (FBE) So a little context for this next video:
the woman singing in it is Caucasian.
- (gasping) Uh-oh.
- ♪ I shut my Murphy bed ♪
♪ Sat down to scratch my head ♪
♪ What could this day bring ♪
♪ It could be... ♪ - Is she actually singing?

Hmmm. You know what?
May-- maybe I too could be neenja.

I might do it! I might be a neenja soon!
- Oh no. Oh no!
- Did you see that Asian girl just staring her down
like what the [bleep]?!
- If there is a God, he is the most genius comedy writer
of all time-- and these are the reasons why.
- That was four.
I felt disturbed.
- That's a five!
- I give that one a five. - That one's a five.
- That one was pretty cringy to me. That was a four.
- It was a four.
- That one's a three.
- I'm going to give that one a five.
That one was super cringe for me.
- That's a three.
That was too perfect to not be fake and staged.
- I would give it a four.
- That's probably about a four.
- I didn't find that awkward. I found that brilliant!
That's a one.
- She made everybody uncomfortable, including me.
That's a five.
- I've seen it! I've seen this!
Please, no!
♪ (background music playing) ♪
- Oh shit. Oh no!
Oh no! Don't drink it!
Don't drink it!
Oh no! He drank it!
- Oh no, is he going to barf?
NO!!!
- No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- Ugh-- I'm going to gag.
(giggling)
(gagging)
(giggling)
- No, is he going to drink it again?
NO!!! Oh god!
- Yeah, that's disgusting. That's so gross.
- He has alcohol poisoning.
- (laughing) What? She's like, "Honey, stop!"
- That was a hard one to get through.
- I think I cringed a little, okay.
And I'll tell you why. It's [bleep] disgusting.
- (FBE) So that was a drunk guy drinking his beer,
throwing up in his cup and then drinking it again.
- Oh my god!
You know, there's a part of me that wished I could have heard that,
and there's also a part of me that's thankful I couldn't.
- (FBE) Last one. Scale from one to five?
- Scale of one to five... uh, a three?
- That was a five.
Yeah, that one got me.
- A two.
It's cringe for the guy when he washes it back,
but not for me.
- That was a five for me.
- That's pretty nasty. Eating your own vomit?
That's a five.
- That's all the way at the top.
- Five! Five! Why would-- what was he doing?
- That was a ten. That was so awful and gross.
- I'll give it a five.
You win. You win!
- That's a ten.
I'm breaking the scale.
- That one's a four.
- It's not so cringy as it-- to me, it's just funny and disgusting,
which I guess is what makes cringe.
- Five.
Each one of those videos you've shown me,
I've played a version of each of those types of people.
Every day, we're faced with straight edges and clean lines
and everything.
It's the nasty shit, the awkward shit, that I live for.
- I would take this challenge on again for you!
But not for anybody else because that was awful.
