Top 10 YouTube Challenges – TopX Ep.29


hello and welcome to top X where we
countdown the very best in YouTube
I’m your host Dan and today we’re taking
a break from channels and videos and
challenging ourselves to count down the
top 10 YouTube challenges
for this list we’re taking a look at
some of the YouTube challenges that have
been attempted by some of the biggest
names on the YouTube scene we basically
rank these by popularity and how
entertaining we found them to watch
please do not try these at home where
you really can’t stress this enough also
if you’re the type of person that
doesn’t like to watch people puke this
is your final warning
nothing came up number 10 the Saltine
challenge our first challenge is
deceptively simple eat five or six
saltine crackers in about 60 seconds
you’ve eaten saltines before there are
tiny little things how hard can this
possibly be so did anyone actually do it
essentially this is challenging because
the saltines turn your mouth into glue
everyone’s eaten soda crackers before
but you’ve probably never timed yourself
while eating them by widget anyway most
people try to start the challenge with
one cracker and then realize they’re
running out of time and try to fit a
second one in at which point you
completely run out of saliva and it’s
basically game over not only is this
challenge deceptively simple but it’s
also pretty popular it’s been attempted
by well-known youtubers like the guys at
roosterteeth it’s also been featured on
real-life TV shows like Good Morning
America and there’s also a town in North
Dakota where they even try to do this
every year and I think it involves four
saltines and trying to whistle how’s it
going Jim uh-huh yeah Dwight number nine
the yoga challenge I know we’re starting
with the PC stuff but don’t worry it’s
gonna get pretty nasty soon anyway the
yoga challenge is exactly what it sounds
like two people are challenged to do
increasingly difficult yoga positions
it’s yoga that’s not hard okay
what are you doing with your feet okay
obviously we’re not talking about the
downward dog here
most of these positions are pretty
advanced in that sense saying that these
contestants are trying increasingly
difficult positions is a bit misleading
because sometimes they get stuck on the
first one you’re gonna follow like a lot
of the challenges we’ll see today this
is less about the people that succeed
and more about the people that fail it’s
sort of a participatory thing where you
watch your favorite youtuber goof around
number eight
not my arms challenge yet another
challenge that’s more about failure than
success up next is the not my arms
challenge I feel very claustrophobic
right now and you’re about to find out
why okay oh my goodness
no Joey look at me I can’t this is
usually the spot where I say sounds easy
right but it really doesn’t
what’s funniest about this challenge
though is the gender bending aspect
whether it’s giant man hands on a little
girl or tiny little feminine hands on a
guy visuals alone are pretty amusing but
of course most guys are not familiar
with how to put on makeup nor do most
girls know how to shave their face let
alone blindfolded careful go down it uh
so if you’re dead set on trying this
challenge it’s best to find someone
who’s physically opposite to yourself
number seven the blindfold makeup
challenge somewhat similar to our last
challenge up at number seven we have the
blindfolded makeup challenge which again
is exactly what it sounds like just
gonna put yes my eye yeah hey just
ruined my pack then sorry
essentially contestants here try to
apply makeup to their partner while
they’re blindfolded the difficulty here
is pretty obvious without the ability to
see the subject is generally turned into
a hideous clown monster you can see I
was going in the right spot with that
stuff all my hands are dirty
but then what’s that line all this is
somewhat similar to the boyfriend makeup
challenge which also provides some
interesting results the fun part about
this is that it’s not really gender
specific again half of the fun of these
challenges is the gender bending aspect
these poor guys I think I look really
good
my favorite is like the contour that you
did with the bronzer
oh my god I was not wrong my smile
number six
what’s in my mouth I know exactly what
you’re thinking and get your mind out of
the gutter and into my mouth right good
actually all in you and it was signed
the next challenge basically makes me
want to hurl just the thought of it but
uh here we go the what’s in my mouth
challenge is devilishly simple you are
blindfolded and then you have to guess
the various pieces of food I guess or
objects that are put into your mouth
this makes me very uncomfortable
this challenge basically comes down to
how nice or evil your partner is will
you be fat actual food will you be fed
something exotic will you be fed
something that isn’t actually food trust
is very very important hey that’s
disgusting though
number five the banana and Sprite
challenge you know what we’re like
halfway through this list and no one’s
actually puked yet I mean we had some
retching with the last one but no actual
vomitus matter well here to solve that
problem is the banana and Sprite
challenge this is just disgusting
sprite bananas pretty common stuff right
I bet you think you could eat two
bananas and then wash it down with some
frosty lemon-lime soda easy stuff well
that’s why this is so deceptive okay hey
why don’t you two go so I’m no scientist
but the dominant theory here is that the
sprite mixes with the bananas and
creates a chemical reaction making the
already large volume of food in your
to me expand even more either way the
results speak for themselves
oh yeah number four ice bath challenge
yeah the ice bucket challenge was good
but why would you want to raise money
for some silly charity I’m just kidding
please continue to raise money for all
kinds of charities but in the meantime
check out this next challenge this is
the point of the show where i should
mention yet again that you probably
shouldn’t be trying this at home in case
you haven’t figured it out the
challengers here have to stay in a bath
full of ice water as long as they can
it sounds unpleasant and it clearly is
oh oh you guys are enjoying this do the
ice bath challenge man suffer when I see
you stop our man’s funny obviously this
is physical torture but my personal
favorites rhett and Link found a pretty
good way to pass the time while this
challenge goes on there you go let go
let it go let it go number three the
gallon of milk challenge everyone likes
milk right well wrong I really don’t
care for milk which is why this next
challenge is even less appealing to me I
get another challenge that essentially
explains itself here the challenge is to
drink a gallon of milk in under an hour
now that’s 3.79 liters for those of you
who are on the metric system and believe
in science
speaking of science the difficulty here
should be pretty obvious if it isn’t
obvious just take a gallon of anything
hold it against your body and ask
yourself can Matt fit inside of me if
the answer is yes you should probably
schedule an appointment with your doctor
because I bet you’re due for a checkup
anyway the results here speak for
themselves
number two the Ghost Pepper challenge
yet another challenge it seems to have
been thought up by your evil older
brother our runner-up for this countdown
is the infamous ghost pepper challenge
excuse millet somewhat similar to the
wasabi challenge the ghost pepper
challenge involves you eating a pepper
that is high on the Scoville scale aka a
leaf in spicy popular peppers include
the habanero the Trinidad Moruga
scorpion and the boot Jolokia also known
as the ghost pepper are you so bad the
ice cream will help a little bit it will
help you you see I don’t need a ice
cream man okay all right one of the few
challenges that causes legitimate
physical pain that ghost pepper
challenge is pretty friggin brutal
contestants often sweat vomit and
apparently sometimes hallucinate take
that space coyote he’s like staring into
nose oh so he’s he’s staring into
nowhere before we get to our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions in
seven seconds
you have to tell me $5.00 Ruiz what I
I have no idea
chubby bunny chubby bunny what the hell
there is a big chunk in there and it’s
spicy as hell look so the hot sauce you
put it like between your children here
in between your mouth and your lower
mouth and your chin no what is that
number one the cinnamon challenge our
topic is probably the most devious in so
much that it’s the simplest and actually
the one that’s legitimately the most
dangerous but for you dear viewer it is
very entertaining
our topic is the cinnamon challenge like
most challenges this one is super simple
eat a spoonful of cinnamon no beverage
is allowed easy enough sure until you
remember to breathe basically this is
hard because cinnamon is a fine powder
that can be easily inhaled so
contestants often take a big spoonful
and then find themselves gasping for air
as the delicious confection spice coats
their lungs this is where we must urge
you not to try this at home because you
can actually give yourself some pretty
serious respiratory problems from
inhaling cinnamon including a collapsed
lung or pneumonia
these people look like they’re breathing
fire so if it’s so dangerous why did we
pick it as our number one challenge well
I’ll let this video of glozell answer
that question and this is good so here’s
the cinnamon alright alright here go
that’s it for our list we mustard you as
tempting as it may be not to try this
stuff at home now
