- Compared to this side, it definitely is way straighter.
I might have to go invest in one of these.
- This feels super intense!
♪ (punk rock intro) ♪
- (FBE) So we've been seeing a lot of videos of people
showcasing or reacting to "as seen on TV" products.
- Oh, very nice. - (FBE) Mm-hmm.
- I love "as seen on TV" products.
There's even a whole-ass store.
- (FBE) And since we also do so many "try not to" challenges,
we decided to combine the two and put our own FBE spin on it.
- (FBE) Don't tell me you're gonna tell me not use
"as seen on TV" products. No, please!
Please, don't finish that sentence!
- (FBE) But today we're going to be participating
in a "try not to try" challenge.
- "Try not to try" challenge? Okay.
- (FBE) Featuring "as seen on TV" products.
- Oh, boy.
- I'm a fan of "as seen on TV" products.
I was an avid snuggy wearer for a very long time.
- (FBE) So we'll get into the challenge in just a bit,
but I want to point out that today's episode was
actually voted on by the FBE super fam,
a part of our audience that's supporting us all at FBE
through YouTube memberships over on the React channel.
- Thanks, guys! I'm so excited.
- (FBE) Every month, members get to vote on topics
and then we turn them into episodes, and this was last month's pick.
- Oh, cool.
Thank you so much for the great ideas.
- FBE super fam, you are in a super secret club,
and it's the good club, so you should join it if you're not.
- (FBE) So after you watch the commercial,
we'll present you with the product, and if you try it,
you lose for that round. - All right.
- I love these challenges because it's like...
when am I gonna try this in my life if not now?
- (voice-over) Pores are gross, full of yuck, and squeezing them
is painful and disgusting! - Oh, you're right.
- (voice-over) You need the all-new DermaSuction.
- Oh, my god. I've always wanted to try this.
- (voice-over) ...the new way to suck that yuck out of your pores.
- I don't think I've seen this one.
- (voice-over) DermaSuction removes blackheads and dirt
from the pores on your face without squeezing.
Just look at-- - Ugh!
I don't want to see that.
- (voice-over) The secret's the powerful yet...
- What?
- (voice-over) ...vacuum action packed into the DermaSuction.
- (consumer 1) It got rid of all the dead skin that was around
my nose area-- - Dead skin is a problem,
especially around the nose.
- (consumer 1) Now it's like flawless. - She's flawless!
- (consumer 1) DermaSuction is the product I've been waiting
my whole life for.
- Like, girl, just do a face mask.
- (consumer 1) I've been waiting my whole life for--
- You don't wait your whole life to suck pimples out of your face.
- (consumer 1) DermaSuction is the product I've been waiting
my whole life for.
This product is really gonna change the way
everybody cleans their skin.
- I am a licensed esthetician and we use things like this.
I'ma tell you it doesn't suck out that easy.
- One girl said she's flawless now, so... I might have to try it.
- (FBE) So here is the DermaSuction.
- The DermaSuction.
It looks like one of those ear thermometers.
- It looks actually pretty cool.
A lot cooler than it did in the actual commercial.
- (FBE) Is it something you want to try today?
- You know, I'm gonna give this a pass.
It's a bit weird for me.
-I don't want to try that.
I'd rather stick to using pore strips.
- I'm not gonna try it.
I'm fine with having a bunch of, as the commercial said,
yuck on my face.
- I'm gonna give it a shot.
This is kinda gross but, hey, we're having fun.
(DermaSuction motor buzzing)
- Mm-hmm. Pulling my chin hairs, the little few I have left.
So far, I'm not seeing any results.
- Ah! Okay, that didn't hurt. I just got really scared.
- It doesn't feel great, but it doesn't necessarily hurt.
All right, I kinda like it now.
(DermaSuction motor buzzing)
Well, all right, there's some skin particles but I think
it's just dry skin.
- Oh, yeah, yeah. - (FBE) Yeah?
- Yeah, that one works.
I might have to get it. (laughing)
- (voice-over) When it's time to straighten your curly hair, you--
- I'm intrigued. I have curly hair naturally.
- (voice-over) ...you could spray on the chemicals,
wrestle with a blowdryer and brush...
- That was me this morning.
- (voice-over) ...even more time with a flatiron.
- What is this?
- (voice-over) ...flattens and fries your hair.
Or you could simply brush your curly hair straight instantly
with Simply Straight! - I'm not straightening my hair.
I'm not straightening my hair!
- I like how they all start in black and white
and then they're like but once this product's introduced,
you're in color!
- (voice-over) The amazing new ceramic straightening brush
that combines the power of a flatiron with the gentle styling--
- That's actually pretty cool. You saw it happen.
- (voice-over) ...with a gentle styling ability of a brush,
to make straightening your hair as easy as brushing your hair!
- I always have been curious about this.
- If it works like it says it works, then I think a lot of people I know
would definitely get this product.
- I don't need this product, for sure, but, I mean, you know,
Mother's Day is coming up, you know, so try it out for the mom.
- (FBE) Here comes the Simply Straight.
- Wow!
I can feel the heat coming off there.
- That is freaky hot.
It doesn't fry your hair my ass.
- (FBE) Is it something you would want to try?
- Yeah, I think this is an easy one for me to sit out on.
- No, because it would just be brushing my hair.
- My hair is fine the way it is. I don't need anything else.
- I'm gonna try it.
(buzzer)
Okay, it's not bad.
I wouldn't buy it, but if someone had it,
I would use it.
(buzzer)
- Okay, it goes through pretty smoothly.
A lot of them get kinda stuck.
(buzzer)
- It didn't do anything.
- This is totally not gonna damage my hair permanently.
Whoa! Look at that.
It works like a dream, huh?
(buzzer)
- That's pretty good. Holy [bleep]!
Simply Straight, you all know what's up.
- I mean, it feels pretty nice. Is that straight?
Compared to this side, it definitely is way straighter.
I might have to go invest in one of these.
- (voice-over) You need to clean your ears.
Too much wax or water-- - These commercials.
- (voice-over) ...hearing and cause infection.
- I love how this is in black and white.
It's so dramatic.
- (voice-over) But doctor visits can be expensive
and cleaning with swabs can hurt. - (man) Ouch!
- (laughing)
- (voice-over) ...there's Smart Swab-- - Yes!
- I know this one.
- (voice-over) ...to clean your ear comfortably and safely.
- Please don't show a close up of what you pull out.
Oh, god! Why?
- (voice-over) Place it in your ear, twist--
- Yee-yee-yee, yeet!
- I think I ordered this for my dad for Christmas.
I'm not even joking.
- (voice-over) ...typical cotton swabs can go too far and cause pain.
- I don't know.
Scientifically, this should work and it is beneficial to your ear.
- (voice-over) ...designed to go the perfect distance
into the ear--
- I've seen the Instagram ads of this, too.
- (voice-over) ...safely extracts it without injuring your ear.
- I see where the design is coming from.
Could be innovative.
- That's one of the best feelings.
Nobody talks about it but everyone cleans their ears
or you should.
- (FBE) Here's the Smart Swab. - It's just this?
- This looks like a toothbrush but without the top.
- It's like rubber. It's not that soft.
I am not gonna try it.
- I'm not gonna try this.
I don't want to see what's in my ear right now.
- I'm not gonna try this one.
This probably would work for boogers, if anything, better than your ear.
But I'm not gonna try it that way either.
(buzzer)
- This wasn't even trying. Like, it didn't do anything!
(buzzer)
- Oh. I wouldn't buy it, for sure.
I'm fine with my Q-tips.
- Eww, it's such an odd feeling.
It feels ineffective.
- It feels flimsy. (laughing)
I don't feel anything coming out.
(buzzer)
- It actually got stuff! What do you know?
I think it works pretty good.
(buzzer)
- It did nothing. I'll give a 5 out of 10.
Next product.
- (voice-over) How do beauty queens, celebrities, and top models
look like this?
Do you want to know their secret? - Yes, I do.
- (voice-over) Miss Belt... - (gasping) Waist trainers!
- (voice-over) Your ideal figure-- - What the hell was that?!
That is so skinny!
- (voice-over) Step one compresses and supports.
Step two slims your waist instantly!
- It's just like a corset.
- (voice-over) The secret is in the dual compression--
- Fake edit-- edit., all edit.
- (voice-over) ...around your waist, abdomen, and back.
- That does not look normal.
- (voice-over) ...for an instant hourglass shape.
- Uh-uh! (gagging)
- (consumer 1) I've been wearing it for the last three months
and I can't tell you-- - What the--?!
That is not healthy!
- Did you ever want to look like a Disney princess?
(laughing) With super disproportionate features?
- (FBE) Here it comes. - It comes in tan!
Multiple colors.
- This is sturdy velcro.
- I don't want to try this.
- I'm well aware it probably takes a long time to even see any results
but because of that reason, I'm actually gonna pass on this one.
- I have to see how ridiculous I'm gonna look.
(groaning)
(laughing)
(groaning) Beauty will be mine!
(cracking up)
I feel like this is not working as well as they advertised.
(buzzer)
- I can't breathe but it's fine.
- There we go.
This-- it feels super intense!
This is not something that is comfortable enough
to wear for an extended period of time.
- (gasping) I literally can't breathe.
I can 100% feel it squishing my organs right now.
- I can't breathe. I can't-- (laughing)
I guess this would work if that's your goal, for sure,
but that's not mine.
- You can't breathe in this thing.
(wheezing for air) That's how short my breath is.
All right, but... so far I see results!
- If I tried to put this under a shirt, you'd be able to to tell.
You know, just get Spanx.
- Oh! I gotta model it, you know?
I'll keep it on for the rest of the video,
see how that fares me.
I gotta have the perfect hourglass figure
for the rest of the episode, don't I?
- (voice-over) You struggle, you strain, you're so far away--
- All right, this happens sometimes.
- (voice-over) Just bending over to put on your socks
is painful everyday. - Oh, is this the thing?
Yeah, I've seen this!
- (voice-over) Introducing Sock Slider...
- I've never seen this.
- (voice-over) ...way to comfortably put on your socks everyday!
- That's so cool!
- (voice-over) Lower the cradle to the floor
and slide your foot in.
- This is your grandparent item.
- They know their market.
They're marketing to older people.
- (voice-over) Bending over is something you'd never have to do.
The secret is the unique cradle design that expands the sock opening,
and places it in the perfect position. - Wow!
- (voice-over) ...slide your foot in--
- You still have to put on your shoes afterwards!
- (voice-over) The Sock Slider makes that easy, too!
- There's even a remover for it?
No, that's so extra.
- Wow! This is the remover?
This is interesting.
- I guess it's one size fits all?
- This has got some grips on the bottom
so-- oh, this is kinda sliding.
We can't have that when you're putting on your socks.
- (FBE) Is this something that you would want to try it out
and see how it works? - No.
- I might pass on this one.
- I kinda want to try it. I'm interested.
(buzzer)
(laughing) This is a fail for me!
(buzzer)
- No, don't get this.
- This is a little bit complicated.
It didn't work.
My foot got halfway in and then it said
[bleep] this [bleep] -- I'm out!
(buzzer)
- Nope, that's not working. That's--
Perfect!
(buzzer)
- The sock just came off!
(buzzer)
- This is so much!
You know, I wouldn't particularly invest in it it,
but if you have a bad back, maybe try it out.
(buzzer)
- (laughing) I mean, it's on there, for sure it is,
but then I just gotta bend over and now I'm an 80-year-old dude
breaking my goddamn back as this [bleep] product doesn't work.
- Gonna gently slide my foot in-- key word "gently."
Come on. In we go. Heel down, yes!
Come on, almost!
Oh! Oh!
Okay, it half worked.
Wait, what do you do about shoes? (laughing)
- (voice-over) What do you get when you cross your tired, aching back
with this fragile egg? The Egg Sitter cushion!
- I've seen this thing before.
- The Egg Sitter! (laughing)
- (voice-over) ...that supports your backside and spine so well--
- (gasping) I need this.
- (voice-over) ...you can sit on an egg without breaking it!
- That looks appealing!
- (voice-over) ...you can sit on an egg without breaking it!
- Oh, really?
- (voice-over) The honeycomb design is constructed of elasticord
that absorbs pressure points by collapsing in on itself.
- Just use a pillow.
- (voice-over) That's why even this egg won't break
under direct pressure. - Wow!
- (woman) You want me to sit on this egg?
Okay!
- (laughing) She's so cute.
- (woman) I don't even feel it!
- Oh, no. Those are actors.
- (woman) Oh, I was wondering about that.
- It's a real egg.
- (woman) ...a good cushion. - This is gonna be me right now.
- (woman 1) Did it break? - (woman 2) No, look!
- (woman 1) Oh, my! That's crazy!
Where do I get one of these cushions?!
- Whoa! How insane! An egg on my butt.
- They could have definitely hired some better actors.
- (FBE) Here is the Egg Sitter.
- Oh, my god. That looks like jelly.
I'm so excited to touch this right now.
Oh, yeah.
- Eww, I don't like that! - (FBE) You want to try this one?
- No.
- I'm intrigued. I wanna try it.
(buzzer)
Oh, okay! See, this is better.
(buzzer)
- So squishy!
- (FBE) Well, we actually also have an egg.
- (gasping) YES!
- No way. I am so scared.
Let's try this out. I hope it doesn't crack
because I will be a little bit sad, so I'm gonna sit...
(buzzer)
- I'm sitting and all my weight is on here!
- Oh, we're chilling. We're chilling.
(buzzer)
I am in fact sitting on the egg.
Oh, it didn't break!
(buzzer)
- I'm like... shocked.
(buzzer)
- And the egg didn't break!
Wow!
(buzzer)
- It didn't break!
Where can I get one of these cushions?!
- Oh, my god. I'm so nervous.
(buzzer)
I don't think it broke.
Oh, my god! It holds up, everyone.
This is-- this has got my stamp of approval.
- (FBE) Emily, you only tried one, and that was actually the best
of any teen today. - I'm so proud of myself!
I thought I was gonna try more but the hair one
is what really got me.
- I learned a lot about these products and most of them
are overrated and/or don't work.
It's weird to say, but I'm glad I lost.
If you guys are gonna buy all the products,
I'll try this again, but on my own, probably not.
- Thanks for watching Teens React.
