- This is cringey. - We're cringing.
- Oh, it's also a gentleman. - Oh no, what is this?
♪ (dramatic intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we are doing a YouTubers React classic.
We are going to show you a series of videos,
but the challenge is you have to try not
to cringe while watching them. - Aw man.
I'm cringing at the idea. I hate uncomfortable situations.
I like them when I'm in charge of them, though.
- (FBE) So, there is a small twist for this episode.
- Oh, it's gonna be cringey couples moments.
Last year there were some... - Last year, it was proposals.
- ...of the saddest things I've ever seen.
- Oh, she's gonna say no.
- (FBE) So, all of these videos will have to do
with cringey couples. - Oh no.
Oh, I predict sloppy, gross kisses, failed marriage proposals.
- Ah.
- Sometimes when I see things that other people
think are cringey, I do think it's cute,
so sometimes I think people are too quick to cringe.
- (FBE) So, since it's a little hard to be able to tell
if you actually are cringing or not, we're just gonna
have you rate each video on a scale from one to five
based on how cringey you thought they were
with five being the most. - Okay.
- You got it. I love a good cringe comp.
- Cringe City, USA, here we go.
- (speaking Norwegian)
- Ooh, international cringe.
- We have this show in Spain.
- What language is this? - That looks like me kinda.
- I need to see this whole show.
- Did he even say hi to her?
- Okay. - What is this?
- The hair, I love it.
- (speaking Norwegian)
- Dude, I just feel terrible for this dude.
- Oh no. - Aw, he's so nervous.
- This is the worst thing I've ever seen.
- (speaking Norwegian)
- This is what it's like to be single in LA,
I'm pretty sure.
- "I'll take another glass of champagne."
- Relatable. - Me.
Dating's hard anyways, but if this is your first date
and you're a little bit nervous and you're being televised,
they're filming it, that's hard.
- Three on the cringeometer. - I'll give it a three.
- Four. - Yeah, it was cringey,
but I'm gonna give it a three.
- A four. - Four.
- Five. That was sad.
That was-- - I'ma give it a four.
- One. It's awkward, but not--
- I'm gonna give it a three.
- Three for me. - I don't know.
I guess it's a three.
- That's a one. - One.
I think he's more adorable than cringey.
To me, that's not cringe. - No, that's not cringey.
That poor man. You just want to hug him.
- Three for me. That's down the middle,
but shame on those producers. Shame on you.
Stop taking advantage of people who are shy and nervous.
- I'd give it a two.
- ♪ (techno music) ♪
- Oh, I'm so excited. - This has potential
for cringe already.
- Oh my God. - I don't understand
what's happening. - It's a video.
- Do they think they're taking a picture?
- Oh no.
- They look so sad. - I'm more confused
than anything else. He's just fallen asleep.
- Is he falling asleep? I was gonna say,
he's either drunk or he's actually falling asleep.
- I like everyone else photobombing.
- Her cheeks must hurt. - You can see the eyes.
Look at that. He's starting to become
dead in the eyes.
- Wow, they're so drunk. - Oh God.
- And what are they listening to?
- Somebody help that girl.
- And she just backed away.
- It wasn't so much the posing for that long,
that wasn't cringey. It was the atmosphere was cringey.
- (imitating music) - Yeah, the music.
- I give that a three. - That's a three.
That's a solid three. - That was awesome.
- I'd say four. - I'm gonna go a one.
- One? - Yeah.
- Three. - Yeah, that was a good three.
- I'm gonna give that a two. - Yeah, I was gonna say the same.
- One. - One, too.
There are so many more cringey videos out there.
- I'm gonna say three. - I'm gonna say two.
- Still tame. I'd give it another one, honestly.
- I'd give it a two.
- That's only a two. - That's a one
because that's not cringe, that is #relationship goals.
For him to stay locked on to her cheek
for 40 plus seconds while they take a really
crappy selfie, A+.
- Oh God, I hate kissing videos.
- Here we go. This is a ten for you.
- I just-- oh!
- Yeah, get that tongue in there.
- Who's filming it?
- This is cringey. - That was cringe.
We're cringing.
- Is that a USB flash drive around their neck?
- (FBE) It's a jewel. - It's a jewel?
I hate this.
- Oh gosh, there's so much-- this is a viral infection
waiting to happen.
- This is why the internet is bad. Ew, burn the internet.
- Yeah, that was pretty cringe. - Why is that on the internet?
How did that make it to the inter--
how did we see that?
- His tongue was working overtime there.
- I'm gonna give it a three.
- Four.
- Five. - Five.
I need a shower.
- I'm giving that a three. - Three.
- I don't need to ever see that. - Four?
- I'm gonna give that a four.
- It's questionable judgement to upload that.
I think that's a four. - Threeish.
- Five, because it's not entertaining for me.
- That's a five.
- Maybe a two. - Two is double one,
so that's how cringey it is.
- Five. That just made me
wanna throw up. - I would give it a four.
People need to learn that there are some things
that are just better to keep for yourself.
- (clerk) Eric, do you take this woman to be
your lawfully wedded wife. - Okay, here we go.
- Is this a wedding?
- (clerk) Richer or poor, sickness and heath,
till death do you part. - (man) I do.
- (clerk) Anne, do you take this man...
- They look so happy.
- (clerk) To have and to hold for rich or for poor,
in sickness and health, till death do you part.
- Aw. - Nailed it.
- (clerk) I know pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride. - Oh no.
Oh no, no, no, no.
- He is going to town.
- Wha-- - He's trying to eat her tongue.
- Oh no. - Oh my God!
What did I just see? - That [bleep] eating grin
at the end seals the deal. He's like...
- Ugh. - Five.
- I give it a three.
- Three. Down the middle.
- I give that one a three.
- Four. That's up there.
That's up there. - That's a four.
- I would say that's a two.
- Yeah, two's safe.
- Four.
- Yeah, yeah. - That's a five.
- Oh my God, that was awesome.
- Three, which is the highest I've ventured so far.
- Two. - Okay.
- That's a five. - I'm gonna give that
another four because I'm really hoping
that there's something that tops everything.
- I hope there isn't.
- (man) So, Sarah has been there for me from
basically the first day that I did comedy and...
- Oh God.
- (man) She was there when I bombed at Caroline.
That was a terrible night for me. - Oh no, he's gonna propose.
- (man) You're just-- you know.
You're everything to me. - I see where this is going.
- (man) So, I wanted to... - This is--
- This is-- - I hate these.
- (man) Spend the rest of my life with you.
- Oh, she doesn't like it. She's shaking her head.
- Look at her. - Read the expressions.
Do not go through with it.
- Should have talked about this first.
- (man) Don't think, say yes.
- How do you talk your way out of this one?
- Oh my God, they're having all this conversation
in front of people. Just walk away.
- No, you can't hash it out. - No.
- As soon as you see the abort. - You have to say yes
in the moment and then haul him off later.
- Oh no. - Can't even watch.
- (crowd claps)
- He still gets applause.
- Quick guide to avoid this. Guys, know your game,
read the context.
- Five. - Five.
- That sucks.
- Four. - Five.
- Five for me. How do people not realize?
- Three. I just feel more sad for him.
- This is a five because it made me
feel something. - I'm gonna give it a three.
- That's a five for me. - But I'm still gonna
give this a four.
- Three. - That's a two.
- All right. - He should have better
taste in girls.
- Five. - Five.
- That's all the way up there. - Five.
- Can't get much worse.
- Five. - If that doesn't hit the five,
nothing does.
- (Nathaniel) My name's Nathaniel. I'm 27 years old.
- Farmers only.
- (Nathaniel) And I'm in a serious relationship with my car.
I find this car the most sexy just 'cause of the subtle
lines and curves. - Huh.
- Yes, I love this guy. - I've seen this.
I've seen this one. - I love this guy.
- (Nathaniel) We have our times when we get sexual.
Does that feel good? - What?
- (Nathaniel) You're a handsome man.
- Oh no. No.
- (Nathaniel) Love you, baby.
- Why do they gotta play this serial killer music behind it?
- (Nathaniel) I like to lean over his hood.
- How? Ew.
- (Nathaniel) Do little things like that.
- Whatever you gotta do to find love, dude.
You're not hurting anybody.
- (Nathaniel) One of his more.. - Oh, it's also a gentleman.
- Oh no, what is this?
- (Nathaniel) One of his more bold positions
is for me to be underneath.
- No.
- (Nathaniel) It's very special to make love to Chase.
- Where does he stick it? - The tailpipe probably.
- TLC, the learning channel. I think we've all
learned something here today. - I learned something.
- Two. - Yeah, two or three.
- Yeah, it's love.
- It's a five. - That's five plus.
- There are so many things wrong with this video.
I can't even start, but this, I'm gonna give a five.
- Four, because I can't really believe that it's real.
- Five, obviously. It should not be captured
on film. - I got a no comment.
I feel bad. It breaks my heart.
- Off the scale. - Yeah, off the scale.
- Four. - Two.
- Five, because boy, does he like to caress that car.
- I'm gonna say four.
- Four. - That's a zero for me.
I ain't cringing. I'm supporting.
- Two, 'cause I don't think it's real.
- I'm just shook, so where's that?
Is that past-- that's past a five.
- (woman) I met you a month ago at Whole Foods.
Now we're living together.
- (man) You were buying celery. - (woman) You were buying Rose.
- Is this a student film?
- (woman) I knew that I would meet my soulmate
at Whole Foods.
- Yeah, this is your typical Whole Foods shopper.
- (man) Food brings people together. - What is this voiceover?
- Hair goals.
- (woman) I've waited so long to just have fun.
- (man) We literally wake up in the Garden of Eden.
- (woman) I'm having so much fun. This video's gonna be
so beautiful. - (man) Can you send it out?
- (woman) It's gonna show people that soulmates are real.
- This sounds like [bleep] you'd say before a suicide pact.
- (man) So let's send it. What are we doing?
Just cuddling on the bed. - (woman) We're just cuddling
in a bed. I have so many presents
with you, babe. - I have no words.
- (woman) Like I could ever consider right now.
- (man) This [bleep] is heat. People need to see this.
- Yeah. - What?
- (man) This [bleep] is heat. People need to see this.
- It is heat. This is heat.
- (man) People need to wake up. - (woman) I know.
- (man) People need to wake up. - No, you need to wake up, dude.
- (woman) I'm so excited. - (man) People need to buy in.
- Why don't you ever rub my thighs like this?
- (man) Every single person that views this video
is going to raise their vibration high enough for them
to track their soulmate. - I love this.
- (man) Is going to raise their vibration high enough
for them to track their soulmate.
- Raise the vibration.
- (man) We'll take over this planet.
- (woman) I just want to heal this world with you, babe.
- (man) Cool, so easy. - "Cool, it's so easy."
Burn the internet. - Way more disturbing
than the car lover. - Yeah, that's way worse
than the car.
- It represents the 21st century perfectly in the sense
of with our technology and social media right now,
everyone thinks that they're so special and everyone
needs to know about them and then we end up
watching stuff like this.
- One, but I was heavily confused.
- I think it's a one. One, if it's acting,
it's hilarious and two, if they're sincere,
the world would be a better place if people
were more like that.
- Yeah, I think I'll give it a five. - Five, I don't like that.
- I don't wanna be friends with either of them.
- It wasn't the most cringey. It's probably a three.
- Three.
- Four. - That's a four.
- Three. - Three.
- Five. - Five, but if I could,
I would probably give it-- actually, I'd give it a ten.
- Three. - Yeah, three.
I'm giving it a three as well.
- That's a five. - Five.
- I don't feel comfortable going to Whole Foods now.
- Thank God I don't suck at going out in public
and just being myself. I think too many people
take that for granted. You look at this kind of stuff
and you go, I don't have to think about that.
I'm not gonna propose on stage and get rejected by a coworker.
I'm not gonna rub ointment on my girlfriend's thighs
in a field. - You're not?
- We'll talk about this, okay?
- (FBE) So, after watching all those cringey couples,
we wanted to ask in your relationship,
what's the cringiest thing that you guys have done?
- Honestly, the proposal. We had a friend
film the whole thing on my phone
and to this day, we can't watch it
because we're both just... - Cringed out by the whole thing.
- We're cringed out by the whole thing.
- I think it's just because it's us.
- Matthew once stood outside of my dorm room window
and serenaded me four floors up
for Valentine's Day, right around this time of year.
- Is that cringey, though or is that just like,
wow, look at that endearing gentleman.
- It was actually really endearing and he was a musical
theater major, so it kinda made sense.
- That helps, too.
- We were like, "Let's try roleplaying.
This should be fun." - And then...
- We got too real. - I love, it's like...
- We got too real. - Are you here for
your appointment? - Too in character.
- I was like, "Yeah." She's like, "Do you have
your insurance?" - We were at the dentist
and I was the very well trained front desk woman.
- I said, "Yeah." And then she told me
about copay and I said, "That's weird.
Doesn't my coverage extend to dental?"
- We had to call the insurance. It was a whole thing.
An hour later, we realized that roleplay wasn't for us
because we just got too real. - Yeah, we missed
the point, I think.
