- I'm actually so ready to eat this!
- Maybe the bread is... - Can we just eat the smell?
♪ (accordion intro) ♪
- (FBE) Okay, so we asked you both to come in with empty stomachs today,
and that's because it's time for another Try Not To Eat challenge!
- Aw man! It's a Try Not To.
- Try not to eat. - There's a fork here, I'm like,
oh I'm hungry! - I wanted to eat though.
- I always have room for food. - But, I, me too.
- (FBE) Today, we are gonna have you guys watch popular scenes
from the sitcom Friends. - (gasps) I love that show!
I've watched that like over and over and over again.
- (FBE) We'll present you with the food recreated by a chef.
In fact, all of the foods you'll see today
were actually suggested by members of our FBE SuperFam.
- Okay! - What did you make us?
The shepherd's pie trifle or something?
- (FBE) So the rules are simple. For every Friends food you eat,
you will get a punishment at the end. - Oh, there's punishments now.
Oh, prize. - I'm so hungry too,
so I'm probably gonna eat everything.
- (FBE) If you succeed in not eating any of them,
you will be rewarded with a special delicious treat.
- Dope. - Alright!
- Wait, so we can't even eat nothing, right?
- Called a Try Not To Eat challenge.
- My grandmother said she got the recipe from her grandmother.
- (gasps) The cookies!
- (in French accent) Nestle Toll House.
- Nestle, okay. (audience laughs)
- What was her name?
- (in French accent) Nestle Toll House.
- To, what is that? - Nestle Toll House.
- Nestle Toll House? (audience laughs)
- (in French accent) Nestle Toll House - Toll House!
- It's like it's not Target, it's Tar-jay.
- You americans always butcher the French language.
(both laugh)
- Phoebe, is this the recipe?
- (screams) Yes!
(audience laughs) - (laughs) This is iconic.
- Oh.
- It was such a heartbreak moment for her.
- (FBE) The first food comes from the great
(in French accent) Nestle Toll House, and are Phoebe's grandmother's
famous chocolate chip cookies. - Damn it.
- I'm good! - Yeah, I'm good.
I know what they taste like. - Why you ruining the cookie?
- Because! - That's just disrespectful.
- It feels kinda hard. It's not my thing.
- I can pass on cookies. - To be honest,
I'm not a big sugar sweet guy either. - I love cookies so much!
- No, like hands down favorite food. - I can resist, I can,
I can go to Ralph's after this and get cookies.
- That one looks so good, but I think I'm gonna chill.
- I personally prefer Pillsbury. (laughs)
- Shouldn't be an issue for you. - I know!
- If you don't mind, I'll take both of them.
- Oh, by all means.
- Well. - Don't tempt me like that.
(buzzer rings) - Oh my God.
- Oh, that's a commercial waiting to happen.
- Oh my God.
- To prove how much you mean to me.
- (gasps) Oh no, it's the meatball sub!
- Here. - Ooh, a sandwich?
- Now I like a good sandwich. - Wow, the sound.
You could hear him bite into that. - It's some good ASMR right there.
- All in my mouth. - Whoa!
- See? - Mm-hmm.
- Hey, whoa, dude, what are you doing?
- I thought you were showing me how much I mean to you?
- Yeah, with a bite.
- Oh like... - Oh damn.
- It was Joey doesn't share food! - Exact! That would be me!
- (FBE) So for your next dish, we have Joey's delicious meatball sub
that you definitely won't want to share more than one bite of
even with your best friend. - Damn!
- Yo bro, that looks fire. - Aw man, that looks good.
- Jesus, this looks better than what he had on the show.
- Yeah, there's definitely like the onion, the bell pepper
and everything. I'm thinking, shoot, man.
- I've never won anything! - Oh, it's not lunch time yet.
So I'm gonna, he doesn't wanna eat this,
I'm just gonna put it this way. - It does smell good,
and eventually one of these smells is gonna get to me.
- I haven't kept my eyes off it. I don't think it's worth it.
- I just wanna feel how nice the bread is.
Maybe the bread is... - Can we just eat the smell?
I'm gonna hold off. - I'll do it since he's doing it.
- I'm gonna eat it! Hold on, I got on white.
Guys, c'mon! - I know!
- You know I'm about to get messy!
- I'm good. (laughs) (buzzer rings)
Love that. - Mmm!
- You got the layers too.
We're even! - Yes, we are!
- I might take a bite. - I'm not gonna do it.
- I think I'm actually gonna sit this one out.
- I'm shocked, I'm genuinely shocked, it smells really good.
- You see, my sister makes these amazing turkey sandwiches.
- Okay.
- She puts an extra slice of gravy-soaked bread in the middle.
- Gravy-soaked bread? Oh this is--
- It's like a thanksgiving sandwich. - Oh, I have to eat this one.
- I'm sorry, I believe I ate that. (audience laughs)
- Oh no he didn't. - I know!
- Oh, I wanna see the sandwich.
- (FBE) The third dish is known as the Moist Maker,
and it's Ross's personal favorite thanksgiving leftover sandwich,
with stuffing, turkey, cranberries,
and a piece of gravy soaked bread in the center, it's so good
that all of your coworkers will want to steal it.
- Man, some of these smells are starting to get to me though.
I'm not gonna deny.
Actually, this is actually just a good idea for a sandwich.
- I'm trying to get that W. - Yo!
- Yeah, I'm gonna have to eat this one.
- Yeah, me too! - Oh yeah.
- Oh, this looks fire. (buzzer rings)
- Uh huh, mm-hmm. Oh my God.
Wow, the bread, it's so good! - Wait, that looks so good.
- I really wanna find out what the reward food is,
'cause I know that if I eat this, and it's really good,
I'm gonna be so mad.
- It looks so good, and I love turkey,
but I don't like cranberries. - Mmm, I'll let you know. (laughs)
- Go for it, go for it. - (FBE) Yeah, get in there!
(buzzer rings) - Oh, the crunch.
- You can taste the cranberries. - Yep, I'm good.
- But like pretty, it's good! - It looks good.
- This is the biggest hurdle for me,
so I'm gonna test my control by not eating it.
- We're gonna take another beautiful bite.
(buzzer rings)
Whoa. - Yeah?
That looks good. - I'm putting this in my pocket.
- It was cheesecake, it was fine.
- Alright, y'all might lose me here, 'cause I [bleep] love cheesecake.
- It had a buttery crumbly, graham cracker crust.
- I've always wanted to try this cheesecake.
- Rich, yet light. - Yeah, stop, stop!
- Cream cheese filling. - Oh my God!
- I know about this one.
- I may just sit here and have my cake all day.
Just sit here in the hallway, and-- (audience laughs)
- And then they start eating it off the floor.
- Oh!
- When it's good cheesecake, it's good cheesecake.
- This is perfect. She's gonna eat the savory,
and I'm gonna eat the sweet. - You've got that--
- Damn sure I'm gonna eat some cheesecake right now.
- (FBE) Next up, we have Chandler and Rachel's cheesecake.
So buttery and delicious that you'd even eat it off the floor.
Luckily, we'll let you eat it off the table.
- I like that it's still kinda mashed. - That looks so good!
- Why's it crumbled?
- (FBE) Because it hit the floor! - Because it fell on the floor!
- Oh, we gotta eat it off the floor. C'mon, I'm not good,
I don't wanna eat it now. - Bon appetite, bro.
(buzzer rings) - Ah, damn.
Is it good, is it worth it?
- Let me tell you, I'll let you know, one second.
- This guy. (laughs) - Mmm, it's good.
- This is hard for me.
I think I'm alright for the cheesecake, honestly.
I love cheesecake, but I've also been
super off sweets for a while. - ♪ We had to say goodbye ♪
- So I'm gonna stay strong with my lack of sweets.
- ♪ Goodbye ♪
- (giggles) I have always wanted to try this one!
- I like cheesecake, only with fruit in it,
or like something else in it. - (laughs) That is so bougie!
- Like chocolate, so it has to be additional,
because I'm not a biggest cheese person.
- Okay. - Oh wait,
we were doing a Try Not To Eat Challenge, right?
- I know, why are we just like trying foods?
(buzzer rings)
- Mmm. - I want the crust.
- Oh my God, that's really good. - Why not, I already come this far.
- Take the crust off.
- I think I'm willing to give up my diet for this.
(buzzer rings) That was really good.
- Mm-hmm! - Mm-hmm, guys!
That's bomb ass cheesecake! - That's really good.
- (FBE) So congratulations, you guys have both
won this challenge today.
- Woo! - I am so stunned
that I turned down that cheesecake. - Same.
- (FBE) I'm gonna show you two clips. First you're gonna see
the winning food Danny, that you get to eat,
and then you'll have to see the losing food that you get to eat.
- Here we go. - Oh great, I'm excited.
- Hey guys, the candy is coming, I just need another 15 minutes--
- Oh hell yes! I knew it was gonna be dope!
- I just need another 15 minutes for the chocolate to cool!
- Oh yeah! - Chocolate candy?
- I'm chillin'. - I don't even like chocolate.
It's perfect. - I'm fine now,
but it was really scary there for a while.
I mean, someone slipped a threatening note under the door.
- Oh yeah, sorry about that. Mob mentality or whatever,
I don't know. - Joey.
- Oh my God!
- Maybe I should've gone for the cheesecake,
'cause I'm not a huge fan of chocolate.
I regret that decision.
- (FBE) So first and foremost, Danny, here is your winning food
that Kendelle, you cannot eat.
- Oh my God! - Yay!
- (FBE) The most popular food in the entire apartment building,
it's the candy that Monica makes and yes, it does taste
like little drops of heaven. - Ooh!
- I win! - Wow.
- Yes, I'm so happy. - Ok, so we get to try it?
- Whoa, these are like... - Oh my God.
That's the best fudge I've ever had.
- So this is what victory tastes like.
Mmm. - Shoulda gone for the cheesecake.
I regret that decision. - Ooh, it's fudge.
- Oof. - Mm-hmm.
Up! - Too much icing.
I'm coolin', I don't even want it. - To be honest, it does look good,
but I'm not a big chocolate fan.
I'm glad I had the sandwich, and the cheesecake over this.
- (FBE) And here's your punishment.
- Oh. - Oh.
- What is it? - It's a trifle,
it's got all of these layers. - Yes, I knew it!
- First there's a layer of ladyfingers.
- The trifle. - Then a layer of jam,
then custard, which I made from scratch.
- This is the most iconic food episode.
- Raspberries, more ladyfingers,
then beef, sauteed with peas and onions.
More custard. (audience laughs)
- I'm actually so ready to eat this. - Some whipped cream on top!
(audience laughs)
- What was the one right before bananas?
- The beef. Yeah, that was weird to me too.
- Nope, your pages are definitely just not stuck together.
- (FBE) This is Rachel's beef trifle.
When she was cooking it,
the pages of her cookbook got caught together.
So not only does it include ladyfingers, fruit,
and custard made from scratch,
it also has beef, peas, carrots and onions.
- Wait what? - That looks disgusting.
- I remember watching that episode, and thinking it didn't look that bad.
Or it didn't sound that bad in my head
but looking at it, that looks disgusting.
- The peas got me.
- This side kinda looks like a dessert,
but this side, is like dinner. - Looks, yeah.
Have to do another one.
Is it weird, just weird? I bet it's not that bad, just weird.
- You know. (laughs) I might be like Joey, because it...
I don't know if it was the raspberry... - Mm-hmm.
- ...but it like really covered up that beef.
- Oh, that is not good. - That's a big one.
- No, that pea just kicked in real (gags).
Yeah, beef didn't help in there. Alright, real quick.
- (laughs) He likes it. - To be honest,
this was not that great, but the sandwich was like so bomb.
- I wanna get, okay, I have to take-- - Get a little bit of everything yeah.
- I kinda want to! - What?
- Okay. (laughs) - What the...
Why did I smell it? - Okay, ready?
Cheers! - Okay, here we go.
Ooh. - Oh.
- Oh not cool. - That's not right.
But the aftertaste is just as bad, so it's fine.
- (FBE) So you guys both won today, how are you feeling about that?
- This is the first time I've won! - Woo!
- I'm proud of myself. Typically I have no self discipline.
- There's a thick layer of custard and probably like meat juice
just like coating the back of my throat.
- Aw, don't talk about it! (clears throat) I need a cup of water.
