- So the first dress codes video got over six million views,
so we're gonna make another one.
We're gonna go tell Freddie right now.
Come on, come on, let's go tell Freddie.
Hey, Freddie. - Hey.
- The first dress codes video got over six million views.
- Oh yeah! (hands clapping)
- Which means we're gonna make another one.
- Oh yeah. (hands clapping)
- So what I need you to do is to bring all your clothes
back to the office.
(fun upbeat music)
- So Jen will be joining me for this edition
of Dress codes.
- Hit me with them rules, girl.
(laughing)
- We have five dress codes
from five public schools in Texas
that are not uniform-based.
We are going to see how much of our adult work wardrobes
will actually work according to these five dress codes.
And then, we're going to have a special guest principal
come in and evaluate the outfits
that we've chosen, and see whether or not
they are appropriate or not.
For one of these schools,
you're gonna try and trick the principal
by wearing an outfit that you know is probably not okay
but that you think you can get away with.
Our principal is Avalon, who is an actual teen.
- I'll lie to a teen, I don't care.
- We have these big yellow shirts
that say dress code violation on them.
And if we violate the dress code,
we have to wear the big yellow shirt.
But if she's wrong,
- She has to buy us ice cream?
- She has to wear the big yellow shirt.
- Oh I would have preferred ice cream.
- Do you think you're going to be surprised
that any of these rules effect you
in ways you didn't think?
- I mean, I'm sure some of them are gonna surprise me.
Because I feel like I'm going into this very confident
because I'm like I dress
- Like a butch nun.
- Yeah, I kinda dress like a butch nun.
- Alright, so you're ready to test out these dress codes?
- As long as the dress codes aren't like don't be gay,
I'll be fine probably.
- I don't know if that's really something you can put on.
A lot of these dress codes have like
a really lengthy preamble
that is like dress code!
We want it!
We made the rules simple, we think.
As I read these rules,
we're gonna take the things from our wardrobes
that don't work and put them on this rack back here.
And then at the end, we're gonna see
how many clothes are left.
- Sounds good.
- First school we're doing is Duncanville High School
in Duncanville, Texas.
All shirts must have sleeves that cover the shoulders.
This is usually the rule that gets me.
- This counts, yeah.
- I love that you're done but you're
- This isn't a fun game for me.
It's not my turn anymore.
I wanna play.
- It'll be a fun game for you soon, I promise.
Tops without collars must be of a solid color
and may not contain logos, emblems, or design.
- Oh, come on.
Get rid of all my (bleep) t-shirts now.
- Not your Will and Grace shirt!
- Also my done playing nice shirt.
(laughing)
I hate this.
Here's the thing, let me tell you guys something.
- [Producer] You're very close.
- I don't care.
- Pants/capri pants, skirts, dresses, and jumpers
much reach the bend of the knee.
So angry.
I feel like this is goin worse than you expected.
- It's hot in Texas.
- I would say like we don't know
what kind of air conditioning situation
is happening at Duncanville,
but Texas is hot and getting hotter.
- Oh that might be controversial.
(laughing)
I still have like a decent amount of clothes left.
I'm just like honestly,
I think I have a problem with authority.
- I have a surprising amount.
Oh wait, that's not allowed.
Also, that's not allowed.
Sometimes they just slip through the cracks.
This time, for real,
I have a surprising amount of clothes left.
- I'm surprised that they had so many rules
against like t-shirts.
- How else are you supposed to tell people
what your favorite band is without shouting it?
- Exactly.
- Try to pick outfits for Duncanville first.
- Kristen and I were gonna pick out our outfits,
and then we realized that what we're wearing
may or may not already work.
And Kristen kinda wants to test the principal with this.
- But I think it's breaking two rules.
- Because it's too short and
are you not allowed to show your back?
- If the last dress codes video
taught me anything, it's that the clothes
that I think are gonna work for this
probably also don't work for this.
- Alright, so you're gonna pick a new outfit.
- Are you gonna trick the principal or not?
- No, I'm not tricking the principal this one.
I will be honest.
This one I wasn't allowed to wear my t-shirts though, right?
- Yeah.
I mean, you could trick twice.
- I'm not interested in tricking more than once.
I just feel like I don't like risk that often.
- That's truly false.
- Oh you know what, this shirt is like technically
of a solid color, but there's little dots of color.
So, I'm wondering, this doesn't have a collar
so technically I might not be allowed to wear it.
But I feel like I can get away with it.
I'm actually, I'm gonna wear this.
I'm gonna see if I can trick the principal.
- I think.
So you're gonna trick the principal twice now?
- Yeah, I decided I changed my mind.
(laughing)
Let's see if the principal's fine.
- I'm gonna wear this, we'll see what happens.
Cool.
High five.
Hi Avalon. - Hi principal Avalon.
- Hi students.
Principal Avalon is here to judge.
You pass.
You get an A.
- I pass.
- You get graded on dress codes now?
- I guess, alright.
So now my reward is I gotta go to class.
- Alright, Kristen.
- What's goin' on?
- Yikes, I don't know.
- What do you mean yikes?
Why are you helping, Jen?
- What?
I passed.
- This does not go past your knees.
- Yes it does.
- I was examining you from a distance.
- What?
- It says below the bend of the knee.
I can clearly see your knee.
- This is the bend of my knee.
It's the middle part.
- You can argue all you want, but my decision is clear.
Put it on.
Violation.
- I'm getting roasted.
Oh my god, are we kidding?
- I'm so sorry.
- I'm exhausted.
I hate this.
- This is the first school.
I'm so sorry to put you through this.
This is humiliating.
- I don't think you're sorry at all.
- I mean, that's debatable.
(laughing)
It looks nice on you.
- So, I'm really enjoying you getting roasted, Kristen.
- No one asked you.
- I asked me.
- You know what, get out of here, Michael.
- It always goes worse than I think it will go.
I don't know why.
You'd think I know by now.
- Technically, I kind of cheated the principal
'cause there are little specks of color on this shirt.
- I literally cannot stand you.
- The school we're looking at now is Hereford High School,
it's in Hereford, Texas.
Hair must be styled out of eyes and must be clean.
It must also comply
- Oh stop.
How often is your hair in your eyes?
- I don't like hair covering my forehead
so it's usually like this.
- But could it cover your eyes?
- Yeah, it could, but so could your hair
if we just did a flippy.
(laughing)
But there are so many teenage boys
whose hair is like this.
If you flip it forward it would cover their eyes,
but that's (crickets chirping).
(laughing)
Skirts must be no shorter than a maximum of six inches
above the knee in a kneeling position.
- A super, super, super demeaning way to test that rule.
But the rule itself is actually relatively lenient,
which is like very much a way of saying
well, the Titanic is sinking, but the music is great.
(laughing)
- Kneel down.
- Lots of kneeling.
There's gonna be a kneeling montage later.
- It's too short.
Yep, get it off.
It just doesn't make it.
Exactly six inches, you're good.
This one works.
This one doesn't work.
Wait a minute, hold on.
Hold on.
Oh yeah, it works.
(laughing)
This high school's dress code was easier for me
because they don't have any specific rules about t-shirts,
which leaves most of my wardrobe in tact.
I of course, lost most of it.
Although, this one's here and this one's here.
I believe these two are different than most.
- God, these are so cute, but you can't wear any of them.
- Welcome to my life doing these videos.
- Just picked out our outfits for school two.
I'm wearing a t-shirt and black jeans.
Kristen's wearing a cute little stripe dress.
- We tried this yesterday, it should be fine.
- Yeah. - Here we go.
Here's the train, coming to see if we are full of shame.
How are we doing?
- Here we have no shorter than a maximum
of six inches above the knee in a kneeling position.
So get on your knees.
- If a principal actually said this to a student.
Do you guys need me to get on my knees?
Or am I chill?
- No you're good, you got pants on.
- Dope.
Do I pass?
- Jen, you're doing amazing.
A student.
- Thanks, Prince.
- I'm proud of ya.
- Are we grading this?
- Get on your knees.
That sounded creepy.
- This is a hard ground.
The thing about the ground is that it's super hard.
- Oh no, this is not good.
- Yes it's oh my god, it's fine.
- Oh my.
Now I have to get on my knees to get onto the floor.
- Well, now we both feel bad.
- I'll get down too but I won't get on my knees.
- Thanks.
What?
- Disobedience.
This is against the rules.
Look at this.
This is above six, look.
- [Jen] Wait, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
I'm assistant principal right now.
Hold on, wait.
No no no, this is fine.
It's exactly six inches.
- But that's like six and a quarter.
- Wait, what?
- Look at this, this is seven inches.
- [Jen] Wait.
- Look at that.
That's undeniable evidence.
Seven inches, Kristen.
- Didn't we measure this?
- I thought we measured it.
- Were you in a kneeling position?
- Yes.
- Wait a minute, hold on.
Hold on, oh yeah, it works.
(laughing)
So I guess maybe I'm bad at measuring,
or the dress shrunk overnight.
- No, that's not how dresses work.
- You grew in it?
- No, that's not how growing works.
- Somebody's wrong.
Where have we landed?
Is Kristen in violation of the rules?
- Yeah, I clearly am.
We're just avoiding the part where I have to put on
the stupid yellow shirt again.
- I'm so sorry.
- Sorry Kristen.
- I hate this.
- I'm a terrible principal.
- You're not a terrible principal.
Jen's just a bad measurer.
- She's the one with authority here
but we don't know if I (bleep) up measuring
or if she (bleep) up measuring, okay.
- Wow, are you trying to do an aside?
- We don't know.
Oh no, you're a great principal, sorry.
- Was that sarcasm and sass?
Shirt on and you're on watch list.
Netflix's watch list.
(laughing)
- This is annoying because we were pretty convinced
that your dress passed all the rules.
I honestly feel like she was the one
that messed up measuring.
- No, I think you messed up measuring.
- I don't think so.
You don't have any proof other than her
- Yeah I do.
Her eyes are younger than your eyes.
- You (bleep).
(laughing)
- So now we're doing Monahans High School
from Monahans, Texas.
All shirts will cover the midriff area,
even with arms raised above the head.
Okay, this is where I think you're gonna get dinged.
- I actually don't think I'm gonna get dinged here.
- I think you would be shocked.
- I'm not taking any of these out
because I have worn all of these shirts.
- With your arms above your head?
- Yeah.
- You're just not gonna test it.
- I don't wanna test it.
I know it's gonna work.
It's a waste of time.
I don't care, midriff is not your sides.
- It is the side.
- Not it's not (bleep).
(Jen laughing)
- You can definitely see your midriff on the sides.
- I don't care.
I hate high school and I hate this place.
(laughing)
- You literally just aren't gonna put it on the no rack.
- This is what I have in common
with the climate change denier.
I don't care what all the science says!
I'm right!
Fine, I'll put it on the rack.
(laughing)
Whatever.
- I mean, here's the thing,
you could wear one of these shirts
where you're trying to trick the principal.
- Yeah, I'm going to.
That is a shirt that is so not inappropriate.
And if they would ding me for that,
it's like, first of all it's all (bleep).
(squeaking)
- Okay, more strapless things.
Yah, all the strapless things.
We're getting rid of all of them and we're moving on.
(laughing)
Boys are prohibited from wearing earrings
or fingernail polish.
- (bleep) that.
- Who cares if he's wearing fingernail polish?
This is how people grow up
- Feeling like they don't deserve to be who they are.
- Yeah. - And that it's not okay.
- Well this was a bummer.
- You have the same clothes almost every time.
- Usually, yeah.
It's the same team.
- Something this video's reminding me
is just how like infuriating it is to be a teenager.
- It's hard 'cause you have very little control
over your life and adults have a lot of opinions.
- This is the outfit that I'm gonna try
and trick our principal with
because when I lift my arms, according to sources,
it shows my midriff.
I don't really agree with that.
- I know this doesn't work.
Like truly lift your arms over your head.
Like no like actually lift them over your head.
This is what it looks like
when you lift your arms over your head.
- Anyway, what are you wearing?
- I'm wearing this, but you're in trouble.
- We'll see about that.
- I feel like our clothes have been
through the ringer today.
- Yeah, ooh, let's go on a dry cleaning date tomorrow.
- [Jen] Yeah!
Hey Google, set a reminder for me to go
get my clothes dry cleaned tomorrow at noon.
- [Google] Alright, I'll remind you tomorrow at noon.
- It's a date.
- You both look so lovely.
- Thank you.
- Well, you both pass.
(gasping)
- We did? - wait.
- You passed in style as well.
You both look fresh as heck.
So congratulations.
- What?
Okay, so I regret to inform you Principal Avalon,
that you actually are wrong about Jen passing.
- I did not pass.
- What?
- 'Cause guess what happens if I raise my little arms up?
- [Devin] Is that belly?
- That's my midriff baby.
- Did you trick me?
- I tricked ya. - [Jen] Yes.
We tricked you.
- Dangit, I missed that.
Even with the arms raised above the head.
- Yeah, what's up?
- That's not what's up.
That's what's down.
I'm upset.
- I know what'll make you feel a little better.
Put that on.
- This is for me?
- Yes, you have to wear the shirt.
- It's good to be in someone else's shoes
so I will gladly accept my punishment.
I deserve it.
- See, that's not what I would have done.
I would have been protesting the entire way.
She's more mature than me.
(laughing)
- I am a principal.
- I guess the moral of the story is that
if I went to Monahans High School I would be fine.
- No you wouldn't.
You just didn't get caught.
- I would be fine.
- I actually feel like this is super fashionable.
- It is cute.
- Are you eating a sandwich?
- It's lunch period.
- We're literally shooting right now.
(laughing)
- This is so good.
- Oh my god, I can't.
- Orangefield High School in Orange, Texas.
Dress or skirt length must be closer to the knees
than the fingertip.
Place your hands down at your side,
the hem should fall around three inches or more
below your fingertips.
- My fingertips are shorter than like my vulval area.
But how long are your little arms?
- My arms are decently long.
- So we are the same height, but we have
- I have like slightly longer arms.
- We fight crime.
(cat meowing)
I feel like I'm just taking the same clothes
and putting them back and forth over and over again.
- I say it all the time but I do not miss high school.
- I have a pair of shorts,
and then I also have some long sleeve shirts.
- This shirt with those shorts would be really cute.
- Actually, oh yeah, I believe we can do that.
- You should do that.
- Yay, outfits!
- Outfit!
- So you only lost a few things.
And I lost everything of course.
- This is like a running trend.
- Can I unbutton this top?
- Are you trying to trick the principal?
- This skirt is actually fine.
I am agonizing over whether to unbutton this button though.
I think it's cuter unbuttoned,
but also I think I have to button it.
- I mean, I know that I'm fine.
I'm so boring.
- You're not boring, you just like have a uniform.
Let's go get in trouble.
- You both look so adorable.
- Thank you.
- But I hate using that word.
'Cause like you're strong, powerful women.
- I'm adorapowerful.
- Adorpaful.
- That's what it is, she nailed it.
- Okay, but am I going to detention or not?
- Yes.
Detention.
- Wait, what?
- As soon as you walked in I saw your tummy.
- No you didn't.
- I did. - No, you did not.
Where's my tummy?
- May I ask you to wave at this wall.
- Uh oh, I'm seeing a little peep right there.
- Where? - Right there.
- What are we looking at?
- I feel like we're looking at denim.
(laughing)
- This?
The button?
- You gave a compelling argument.
Okay, onward.
Put your hands down.
- Uh huh. - Great.
You're golden.
- She passes?
- This passes?
- You do and A plus.
This is a stunning look.
A plus.
- Okay.
- [Jen] Kristen made it.
- What's goin' on with Jen?
- What about me?
- Well, Jen, this does not offend me in the slightest.
Well done.
Both of you.
- Alright, air five.
- What face was that?
- That was just me being like alright.
- I thought that was a face you know something I don't.
- Here's the thing,
I think I might have tricked ya on the skirt.
- But your arm
your arms are down, you have four inches.
- Oh, we're just bad at measuring.
- Yeah you're all good.
- I don't know.
- [Avalon] You did great.
- Okay, oh my god, we passed.
- We passed.
- Wow, this might be the first round in dress codes so far
where both people passed.
I still don't know if this skirt's okay.
But like we measured it so
- I think what this round confirmed
is that Avalon is indeed questionable,
at best, at measuring.
- You've never done anything wrong in your life?
- Yeah, that's basically what's happening.
- This is actually the Northside Independent
School District's dress code.
Some of the schools in this school district
have opted to use uniforms,
so this dress code is for schools that haven't done that.
Skirts, dresses, and culottes must be no more
than four inches above the top of the knee cap.
That's all the shorter ones, that's everything.
Off the shoulder ones are technically
still in play right now.
Not for long.
- There will be no survivors by the end of this.
- Any clothes that are suggestive or indecent
or which cause distraction are not acceptable.
What is suggestive or indecent?
- No one's allowed to be horny at this school.
- This is part of school's year long quest
to ban horniness at high school.
So far, horniness is undefeated.
(laughing)
- You get more of your clothes at this district
than I think you have throughout this entire process.
- Yeah, exactly.
And it's because this dress code is vague and short.
I think they thought that when they wrote
suggestive or indecent, I would get rid of like this dress,
which does not show cleavage,
but does have a deep V.
- So we shall see what the principal thinks.
I decided to go very simple.
I'm just wearing a straight up hoodie.
As long as I don't put the hood on,
they don't have any rules about sweatshirts,
so I think it's fine.
- This is the one code where I can wear the deep V,
'cause I'm not showing any cleavage.
- Ooh that's gonna be an interesting technicality.
- They're in the pillow case.
- I don't think it matters.
- Have you ever had your mom tell you to make your bed,
it matters if the pillows are in the pillow case.
- I don't know, we'll see.
- Alright, okay.
- Hello Principal Avalon.
- I thought you were gonna call me
Princess Avalon for a second.
- I mean, depends on how this goes.
- Yeah.
- Well, this is bad news for me
because I already see a violation.
- What?
- Drawings in clothing are prohibited.
- This isn't a drawing though, this is a print.
- I don't know, I feel like it sticks out a bit.
- Wait.
- Wait a minute, what?
It says indecent slash inappropriate.
- Oh, see, I just totally left that part out.
- 'Cause this is just a corgi.
- It's a very sexy corgi.
- It is a sexy corgi.
Look at it's little legs and it's big body.
It's like beautiful.
- You aren't playing around.
- Oh no I'm not.
Now, Kristen - What about me?
- Much concern rises.
- Where?
- First off, let's check this slit.
Is that four inches above the knee?
- Oh I forgot about that part.
- I didn't think about it.
- I didn't think about that.
- Oh, above the top of the knee cap.
So you're okay.
And now, as nice as that is.
- What about it?
- It may be distracting.
- Why is it distracting?
Where's my boobs?
- What is the rule?
- I feel like there is no rule.
Okay, I see no exposed backs or midriffs,
no see through garments.
You're good.
- Yep.
- You are good.
- Wow, you tried.
- It says nothing about it, I did.
- You tried really hard.
- It's funny, 'cause some other schools would be
very triggered about that.
- I know.
There's lots of schools that would be upset about this,
but not this one.
- You both passed.
- Yay!
- Do I get a high five?
Am I a princess because I allowed you?
- Yes.
At this end of this, Jen I think wins.
- I guess.
I wanna wear the t-shirt just for fun now.
- Is it a competition?
- Well, a little bit.
- Now I know what it feels like.
- No, keep it on.
This is fashion.
Look, principal looks out for student.
- Wow.
- I mean, I just wanted to know what it felt like.
But I love winning, I'm gonna take it off.
(laughing)
This experience was definitely fun,
but it was also like incredibly frustrating for me.
I went to a public school that didn't really enforce
it's dress code, so people could wear whatever they wanted.
And I don't feel like my education suffered at all
because I could see shoulders,
or because boys could wear makeup.
There were some rules that were specifically zeroing in
on like dividing up what was acceptable based on gender
and that felt like so messed up to me.
Did you feel like Texas's dress codes
were more conservative than Florida's?
- I think they're roughly the same.
They all kinda get you to the same place.
They just kinda get you there in different ways.
The reason why I like to do this
is because I think it's really important
to kind of show all of you teens out there
that like adults are listening.
- Really, again, to reiterate,
high school ends someday folks.
- One day you can get paid to have teens make fun of you.
- Yeah!
- What state should we do next?
- Let us know.
Put it in the comments.
- We're good.
Let's cut, we're good.
- [Jen] Do teens still like Harry Styles?
(upbeat music)
