- (gasps) No!
- (FBE) We want you to recreate your own awkward,
cringey proposal.
- Oh, we do this all the time. - I'm so ready for this.
♪ (dramatic intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we're gonna do a YouTubers react classic.
- A classic?
- (FBE) We're gonna show you a series of videos,
but the challenge is you have to try
not to cringe while watching. - Oh, what?
- I'm cringing already.
- I cringe pretty easily. I'm like...
- (FBE) Well, on this episode, there is a twist.
- Oh no.
- (FBE) Because this is a couples react,
all the videos have a theme.
- Divorce. - Breakups.
- (FBE) But we're not gonna spoil it for you,
we're just gonna get to the first video
and see if you can figure it out.
- I feel really uneasy all of a sudden.
- It's gonna be cringey proposals and stuff.
- Oh. - I know, roll it.
- (man) You met me one year ago
right in front of this Cinnabon. - Right in front
of the Cinnabon, babe.
- No, it's failed proposals.
- You were right.
- Are they getting engaged in a mall food court?
- It's in a food court of a mall?
I would say "no."
- No, there's a guitar. - Oh my God.
- (applause) - Oh, cool.
They're gonna serenade them.
- (man singing)
- Is he singing? - He's singing pretty awful.
- Sweet Caroline.
- (singing along) ♪ Sweet Caroline Bam bam bam ♪
Oh God, the whole food court's singing.
- It's pretty awkward.
- (man) Will you marry me? - Oh, she's gonna say "no."
- Oh, yikes. - Oh!
- Oh, she's out.
- That is savage.
- To be fair, the mall is a little bit of an awkward spot.
- It's not a good spot for proposal.
- Oh, no. - You know, that--
you never get to see the no. It's always "yes."
- It's one of those things you gotta know
before you do a public proposal. - Yeah, that's true.
- You need to have had a fight that you haven't proposed yet
to really know. That's why I did it.
I did it in public. I did it on stage
in front of people, but it was after two years of...
- Of me saying "Why aren't you doing this yet?"
I was thinking about maybe I'll propose to you,
but I would never.
- (FBE) So, these are all marriage proposal fails.
- No! I'm gonna cry.
- What a great time. Who's gonna cringe at this?
This should be a try not to laugh challenge.
- It's gonna be a try not to laugh.
- It feels better now that I've gone through the proposal.
Seeing this stuff, I no longer have to think "Will that
happen to me?"
- (FBE) So, after each video, we'll have you rate them
on a scale of one to five based on how cringey they are,
so for that first video, where do you rank it?
- That was a four.
That was a solid four. - I think it could be worse.
Three.
- I'm giving it two. - I'll give it a one.
I think it's funnier than cringier.
- (both) Four. - That's a hard four.
- It was kinda funny, so I'm gonna go a one.
- Yeah, I was gonna say two.
- It's a three. - A three.
- (both) Five.
- Yeah, that was bad. - It's a five.
- I'd give it a two. - I'll go two.
- Three for that. - Yeah, I think I'm gonna
give it a three, too. It was the guy's performance
was not on point.
- On stage at a concert? - Oh no.
- It's a good song. - Great song.
A classic.
- Oh God, he's pushing her. I'm already so uncomfortable.
- (crowd cheering) - What is it with people
and wanting to propose in public?
- (man) God knows where I'd be without you.
- She's like, "I'm thinking of where I'd be without you."
- She's so embarrassed.
- Look at her body language. She's so not here for this.
- She's like, "Don't you dare."
- She's like, "Please, please, please don't do this."
- It's a Ring Pop!
- Let's see the reverse shot. - I wanna see her face.
- (gasps)
- Ah! - Oh, they always run away.
- She ran! - They're runners.
- I do like that women aren't inclined to say "no."
They're just like, "I have to get out
of this situation." - Bye.
- The shock.
- That is heartless.
- The silence that came over an assumedly large crowd
was pretty good.
- A one. - I would give it a two.
- I'ma say a three. - Two.
- I'm gonna bump it up to a three.
- I'd say three. I wish the camera followed her.
- (both) Five. - You're just watching
someone's heart be broken.
- Three. - Five.
- Really?
- Two. - I'll say two as well.
- Little bit less cringey than the last one.
- Four. - Oh, see, I'm going the opposite.
One, 'cause I can't see anyone else's reaction.
- I put that one as a one, too.
I felt like that was more sad than cringey.
- Two out of five. - You're gonna have to show me
some real [bleep] to get me to cringe, man.
- (announcer) David wants to know. - Classic jumbotron.
- (man) Will you marry me, Jessica?
- Why would you do this? - No.
- (announcer) You're supposed to get on your knee, I think.
- Forgot the-- there we go.
- The mascot already makes it a three.
Come on, guys!
- (announcer) She looks excited. - No she doesn't.
- (announcer) She looks excited. - That's what excitement looks like?
- (announcer) Everybody wants to know, yes or no?
- I'm not a fan of this.
- (woman) David, I'm sorry. - Nice.
- (woman) I can't, I'm sorry.
- (announcer) I don't mean to laugh. - Everyone laughs.
That's so mean.
- (announcer) David, I-- - He laughed.
- Everyone runs. - Your body's like fight or flight.
- They didn't get down on one knee, so that's on him.
Now he's running. That's good, too.
- The announcer. The announcer should win
an Academy Award.
- That one was very cringey, because they had a moderator there.
- Are there jumbotron proposals that have gone right?
- Two. - Three for me,
'cause of the damn mascot.
- (both) Two.
- Three again. - I'm going four.
I do respect the assertiveness of her denial.
- Four for me. - That was a four,
just because of how real it felt.
- Five. - That was a five.
That was so uncomfortable. - That was brutal.
- Four. - Oh, really?
I think I'm hardening quickly. I think it's a three.
- It's a four. - Three, just for the fact
that they guy laughed.
That was the dagger. - Yeah.
- That's a four. - I really liked that announcer.
I'm gonna go four, 'cause he laughed
right in his face.
- (announcer) She's running around. Where is she--
Where's the Chevy Chase Bank man? - Oh, poor thing.
- This is actually cringey, because her behavior
is embarrassing.
- (gasps) She found the bank man.
- She found him.
- (announcer) Congratulations, Cathy.
- Oh my God, it's him.
- (announcer) But Cathy, we have another surprise for you.
- Oh no.
- I'm getting goosebumps. I don't know why.
- (man) Honey, honey, honey. - Honey, honey, honey.
- (man) Honey, will you marry me? - (microphone feedback)
- Oh, and it makes the feedback noise.
- (man) Honey, will you marry me? - (microphone feedback)
- (gasps) No! No, gosh, that was so--
- There's nothing you can do. After that, there's no coming
back from that.
- That's how we should have done it. I should have popped out
of a mascot.
- That one was cringey, because the crowd was so excited.
Everyone went nuts. - I think that one might have been
cringe because he was dressed up like an ATM.
- Four for me. That was pretty bad.
He was so excited. - Three.
- Five. - That was a five.
- It was a two. - I would say it's a two.
- Four. - I'm gonna give that one a five.
That was my favorite. That was amazing.
- It was pretty great.
- Two. - She knew.
She knew immediately. - Yeah, like, "Oh no."
- Two. - I'd give it a four.
There were a lot of people there and that basketball game
had to continue.
- Four. - The cringe factor comes
from how bad I feel for the person who's getting
left behind and I didn't feel that bad for him,
so it's a two for me.
- Three. - Yeah, I'll do a three with you.
- I'm gonna give it a three. You know what we could watch
is best wedding proposals.
- (announcer 1) A marriage proposal going on at this court right now.
- Oh, another basketball court. - Ah man, more sports.
- (announcer 2) I really can't imagine doing that, you know?
That's under pressure, isn't it? - The announcer knows.
- (announcer 1) You're still married how many years?
- (announcer 2) 40 years. - (announcer 1) 40 years?
So, I think people ought to be asking you how to do it.
- Oh, no.
- Uh oh. - She's breathing really hard.
Process, process.
- She's considering it.
- (announcer 2) Well she has to say "yes" there.
- No, she doesn't have to say "yes." - Oh no, she's whispering.
- Can we talk about this? - Holy hell.
See, this is cringey. The last one was funny.
- Oh my God. - (announcer 2) Said, "I really do
like you a lot." - I really like you a lot.
- The commentators are the best. - Look at the mascot.
Like, "Where you going?"
- We don't know the context. - Look at Tracy McGrady's reaction.
I like that the mascot is consoling him, though.
That was awesome.
- The mascot's still acting like a mascot.
He's like... It's like, don't worry about
the job right now.
- The mascot was the cringey part for me.
- Yeah? - He's like, "It's okay, buddy."
- Sucks for them, 'cause he did it in the half court,
so she had such a long way to run. - She got a long way to go.
- She has to run the whole half court to get off.
- Had a long way to go.
- That one was a three. - I'll give it a three, too.
- You're such a copycat.
- It wasn't as bad. That was a three.
- Yeah.
- Five, 'cause that was embarrassing.
- For everyone involved. All parties.
That's a five.
- Eh. - That was a three.
- For sure.
- That was pretty cringey. - That was pretty cringey.
I would go five. I liked that one.
- A two. - I think three.
- (both) That's a five. - When the mascot doesn't
break character, it's a five.
- I'm gonna give that a one. - For the grace of at least
explaining to him what was going on, I'm gonna give that one a two.
- There's a lot worse stuff that bothers me on the internet.
If one person doesn't wanna be married, please say no.
- I feel bad for these girls. I would be mortified
if that ever happened to me. - So, if I did that in public,
you'd say no? - Yes.
- Two guys and a camera, is that public?
- Two guys-- (laughs)
- What if this was a real setup?
- (FBE) And finally, after watching all those cringey proposals,
we want you recreate your own awkward, cringey proposal.
- Oh, we do this all the time. - I'm so ready for this.
- I want to ask will you marry me? - I can't.
- Oh no, what was it that I did?
- Hey babe, hey babe. Babe, babe.
- I just wanna take this moment here at the Fine Brothers studios to say
how much you mean to me every day.
- (whispering) I can't do this. - I really--
and instead of a ring, I got you these headphones.
- No, no, that's where I draw the [bleep] line.
- They're sound cancelling. - No.
- Five years ago, we met at this very Taco Bell.
I got a chalupa. I was wondering if we
could get tacos together for the rest of our lives.
Will you do me this fourth meal honor?
Oh no, I-- no, I need to return that.
- I can't wait to wake up to you every day for the rest of my life
and get to call you my wife and so I'm going to bend down
and ask you, will you make me the luckiest woman in the world
and be my wife? - I don't believe in gay marriage.
So sorry. - Oh my--
