- Usually, I'm the one
torturing the reactors,
00:00
and now I know how they feel
and I don't like it.
00:03
- Is it still going?
There's still dominoes?!
00:05
(groans)
(dominoes clattering)
00:07
- (FBE) Today, we're gonna
show you a series of videos.
00:19
- We never watch videos here!
00:22
- (FBE) And we're playing a challenge.
- We never do challenges!
00:24
- (FBE) The challenge is you have
to watch all these videos
00:28
and try not to look back.
- It's a Look Back Challenge.
00:31
Okay. It's all gonna
be in my taste.
00:36
If you pick something that I LOVE...
I'm gonna have to look back.
00:38
- (FBE) We're gonna play
a video for you.
00:41
We're gonna pause it
right before it gets interesting.
00:43
Then you're gonna turn your chair
and face away from the laptop
00:45
just before we play the good part,
and you're gonna miss it.
00:48
So, you're gonna have to decide
in that moment whether you want
00:50
to win the challenge
or get the payoff.
00:53
- I wanna win,
but I'm very curious.
00:55
I also have a big fear of FOMO,
fear of missing out.
00:58
So, this is gonna play
to my ultimate fear.
01:02
- (FBE) So if you lose
during the video,
01:05
you'll be out,
but then we'll bring you back
01:06
for the next one.
Keep track of how many times
01:07
you get out.
- All right. Let's do it!
01:09
- I don't do well
with delay of gratification
01:11
and things like that.
When I see something I want,
01:13
I'm just kinda like,
I'm gonna go for it and watch it.
01:16
- I have decent self-control,
but when it comes
01:19
to being entertained,
I'm kind of a weenie,
01:22
- "The magic always returns."
01:28
- Oh, it's "Mary Poppins."
- (Michael) How'd you do that?
01:31
- (Mary) Do what?
- With the guy from "Hamilton"
01:34
and Emily Blunt. Okay.
This might be easy.
01:37
- Play it through. I mean
will I watch this movie? Yes.
01:40
Will I watch this now? No.
01:43
- I get why people
would wanna turn around.
01:45
There's so much
going on right now.
01:48
- I'm gonna happily sit here
and let this just play.
01:50
- The music makes you wanna
look back and see what's happening.
01:53
- (George) ...the children's heads
with stuff and nonsense.
01:56
- I'm gonna turn around.
I like this. I wanna watch.
02:00
I wanna see what-- I'm curious.
Wait! That's it?!
02:03
(buzzer)
- It is hard to listen
02:06
to this very magical music
and know that I can't look
02:08
at the magic.
- That's it?
02:11
Okay! I made it through!
- Quite frankly, I can go
02:14
watch it after this,
so I'm good!

03:58

with things like this?
06:08
Every video is genius
in a whole different way
06:11
than the one before.
- It's just, like,
06:13
how do you time out
the individuals?
06:15
The math that goes into that
let alone the art that you have
06:18
to figure out with it
blows my mind.

06:24
And this song isn't tempting
to turn around.

I can just jam out.

possibly of my life.

Oh, okay. Maybe I don't
wanna watch this one.

I don't need to see this.

Does he get hurt?

why not just stay there?

something good happens.

07:33
I think he's okay.
- I feel like they're, like,
07:36
laughing and clapping
from a belly flop,
07:38
but it kind of sounds like he died.

I hope it falls,

very entertaining-- oh.
