What’s the most cursed image on the internet? – Let’s talk about that. (gentle upbeat music) – Good Mythical Morning! – She’s in the new film, “The Curse of Bridge Hollow”, on Netflix. Welcome the alliteration friendly named, Lauren Lapkus. – Hey, Lauren! Give us one of these. (crew applauding and cheering) – What? Oh- (beep) – There we go. (Lauren laughs) – Welcome to the show! – They told me not to swear and I did it right away. – Oh, you know what? They clapped over that. – Oh, it’s good. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lauren, do you own or have you ever encountered anything cursed? – Yeah. – Oh. (crew laughing) Would you like to talk about it? (laughs) – No. – You own it? – No, I don’t own anything cursed, but I definitely. Well, what about haunting? Is that? – I think that counts. – Is that the same? I felt that there was a presence in my closet growing up that was a ghost. – A lot of us did. (Lauren laughs) – Did you name it? – I didn’t name it, but whenever my closet, if I was asleep and my closet was like, halfway open, I was like, oh, it’s looking at me. – When I tuck my youngest in bed at night, I always close his closet and I do it for me. – Yeah. – Not for him. – There’s something creepy about leaving it open. – Yeah, that gap is just like, I don’t wanna do this to you, son. – No. – Okay, well, no closets today. We’ve got a game dealing with the cursiest of cursed images, so nothing in real life. It’s just gonna be things we have to look at, okay? – No closet gaps. – It’s time for “These Images are Weird, Twisted, and Downright Cursed. Please Just Tell Me None of Them Feature Fred Durst with Lauren Lapkus.” Okay. – Are we saying you don’t wanna see pictures of Fred Durst and Lauren together? Does that exist? – I have bad news for you. That’s all there is of me on the internet. (Rhett and Link laughing) – There’s a lot of those. Okay, yeah. That’s another episode. Okay, so if you hadn’t logged onto the internet since the ’90s, for your educational purposes, a cursed image is a photo that is mysterious or disturbing in nature due to the subject, the poor quality of the photo, or both. Here’s an example. – [Link] Oh. – [Lauren] Oh, yeah. – [Rhett] How’s that make you feel? – Like I’m gonna barf, I think actually. (laughs) – Yeah, yeah, right. – It’s really unsettling. – Unsettling, exactly. – But at the same time, it’s kind of sexy. – Well, there’s something hot about it for sure. – [Link] Right? – [Rhett] Yeah, once you let it really settle in and think about where the rest of her body is. – That’s what I’m saying. Who is she? Is what I’m wondering. – Yeah, right. Uh-huh, yeah. – She’s like, it’s like a splash moment. Like, she’s coming out to like tantalize, a man. (laughs) – Yeah. Where’s her head? Is it you open up the tank and her head’s in there? I don’t know how toilets work. – I would not open that tank. – Okay. – Do they get worse than this? – Yeah, I think they do, so what we’ve done is we posted a series of cursed image matchups online and then you, the Mythical Beasts, you voted on which ones you thought were more cursed. – Over 57,000 people voted. – Wow. – Are you impressed, Lauren? – I am. – All right, so our job is we have to guess which photo in each set that they thought was more cursed out of the cursed guesses. – Great. – All right, and then every time we get it right, we get to eat something blessed, and if we get it wrong, you gotta eat something cursed. – And that doesn’t mean someone said grace over it. It just means it’s good. – Yeah, yeah. That’s better. – None of this food has been prayed over. – Okay, great. (laughs) (gentle guitar music) – Okay. – Our cloches are here and our photos are here. – Let’s take a look at the first photo. – [Lauren] Ew! – [Link] What is that? – Is that baby macarons? Is it macaroon or macaron? – I think those are two different things. – Yes, I agree. – But what about when it has a baby face on it? – That one, I really hate. – [Rhett] And it looks like it’s in a baby’s hand. – [Lauren] It looks really creepy. – It looks like a newborn puppy. – It looks like a belly button that has a life. – (gasps) Gosh, that’s right, Lauren! – I’d still eat it. – All right, let’s see what’s over here so we can start comparing. All right. – [Lauren] Oh, what is this? Okay. Oh, it’s a doll with a stomach that is guacamole. – [Link] And chips. – I don’t mind that. I think it’s really great. I actually love that. – I think it’s accurate. I think this is what toddlers are made of. – Oh, yeah. Every time I’ve opened up a toddler, all I’ve seen is guac. – [Link] Their innards haven’t like, differentiated and formed yet. They don’t know what’s going on. – Are we supposed to vote yet? – Well, we vote by eating. – Yeah. – Oh, okay. – So let’s see what we’ve got. Oh, of course, we’ve got guac and chips. – It feels like we all pretty strongly reacted to hating the baby macraon. – I agree and these do look identical. – Right, so that’s not gonna help you. – It’s not helping at all. – So the one that we think the majority of people who voted thought was more cursed, that’s the one that we choose. – To me, it has to be that. – But then, it’s also a show where we want to be entertaining, so I’ll eat this. (crew laughing) I’m gonna take one for the team. – Well, that seems unfair because it’s gonna be good. – I think I’m gonna lose, but I don’t wanna make you do it, Lauren. – Wait, so wait. – Rhett, do you wanna do it? I mean, this is a show. – The answer, wait. – We could be wrong. – Oh, wait, wait, wait. It’s gonna taste bad if I’m wrong? – Right. – If you’re wrong. – Right. Okay, good, good, good. – Yeah, so we’re being right. – But Rhett, this is a show. Don’t you want it to be entertaining? – Yeah, that’s where there’s two of us. You can be entertaining. – Ready? Are we doing the same time? – Yeah. – All right, well, if you want to, then it’s dink it. – Dink, dink. – [Rhett And Link] And sink it. – Oh, good God! – Yeah, that’s good. – They put way too much salt on the chips, on everything. – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s round one. We went easy. So you seemed like you were sacrificing yourself, but. – Link, that was very entertaining. Thanks for taking one for the team. (crew laughing) – You really missed out, Lauren. – Too much salt. Yeah, I’m really- – [Stevie] So, 14% of the Mythical Beasts believed that the dolly dip and chips was the most cursed, which means 86% believe that the macaron newborns were the most cursed. – Macaron newborn. – You were right. – Really hate them. (gentle guitar music) – All right, two new photos. – Taller cloches. – Oh, what’s gonna be in there? (Lauren gasps) – [Link] This is Elmo asking to be tickled. – [Rhett] At first, I thought he was very excited. – Or is this like, somebody’s husband? I thought that too for a second. But it’s like, this feels like, it’s like honeymoon, you know? And then you come in the room and you’re like, “Oh, babe, I didn’t know you got a costume.” (Rhett and Link laughing) – I’m rethinking everything. – So, are you like, into this or like, what’s the? – (laughs) Right. Oh, my God. Yeah, like the way. And you know, it is man sized because unless that bed is like a toddler bed, which I don’t even wanna go there. All right, here we go. – Oh! – [Link] Now, we got another iconic character set. – [Lauren] Wow. – Okay, I’ve seen this one before. This is like ,a couple that just wanted to do a cool Halloween costume. – I think it’s really well done. – They nailed it. – Yeah. – [Rhett] It just shows you how the Simpson’s eyes translate to real life, which is not pleasant. – That is unsettling, but I think I’m more concerned with the Elmo because the room is also making me sad. There’s just like, a lot happening there. – Yeah. There should be a picture. Maybe a cross above the bed. (laughs) – [Lauren] Like a slightly askew. – [Rhett] That’s something. – [Link] That would be even more cursed. – I’m just creeped out by the whole picture. I think the room is really weird. – Okay. I mean, I think I know which one I think I would think is more cursed. – Oh, okay, it’s our beer. – Got some Duff beers here. – We got some non-alcoholic, YouTube, beer. – See, again, it seems like we’re all thinking that the Elmo’s more cursed. Somebody’s gotta take one for the team. – Well, here’s where I, because okay, so my brain first goes, well, the bad one was here before. Now, it’s gonna be here. – Yeah. The old switcheroo. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s meaningless, I know, but it’s still what I’m thinking. – Did you do well in school? – Yeah. – (laughs) Okay, so. – That kinda logic really came into play a lot. – Hey, if you wanna go over here. – No, no, no. I’m not sure what I wanna do, but I’m just, I’m thinking about this a bit and it does scare me. It’s like, at first, I was just proud of them for what they pulled off with their costumes but this, no, I think this is more cursed. I’m going here. I’m going here. – Here’s the thing, Link. If we all taste this and we are all right, I’ll take one for the team to taste what we would’ve tasted. – I like that. – For entertainment purposes. – Well, it seems like- – But I’m still playing the game. – It seems like you could just do that now. – No, that’s why I win a lot more games than you because I actually am always trying to win. – Right, which is, you know, I’m thinking about you. – Yeah. That’s why you’re here, man. If it was just one guy winning everything by himself, no one would watch that. – Lauren, I’m just wondering, who are you thinking about right now, Lauren? – I’m thinking about me and I’m thinking I wanna do this because I think it’s gonna taste fine. – Yeah. – I’m going here. – You know what? – I’m telling you right now. I’m gonna drink that. – No. – What if we’re all wrong? – No. – How entertaining would it be if we all drank the bad thing? – There’s no way. (crew laughing) There’s no way. (glass tapping) – Oh. (crew laughing) (Rhett gasping) Oh, my God. – What is wrong with you people? Do you see the little wave? – I love you. I love you. – Do you see the little wave? – It tastes so gross. What is it? – [Stevie] It’s just Bitrex, the bitter stuff. – It’s got a bitter agent in it. – (laughing) I got y’all! – [Stevie] Yeah, so 28% of the Mythical Beasts believed that the cursed Elmo was the most cursed and 72% went with Simpsons. – I’m still sick. (bell dinging) – He’s on a bed! – You’re defending that? (laughs) – No, I don’t know why they didn’t think that. I agree with you guys. – Yeah, yeah. – Oh, it tastes so gross. – Yeah, that taste is not going away. – It’s not going away. – It’s not going away. We’ll have to eat something else to cover it up. – Please, soon. – You’ll never forget us, Lauren. – I really won’t. (gentle guitar music) – Let’s see another cursed. – Wow, I’m having so much fun. – So glad to have you, Lauren. (group gasping) – [Link] What? – [Lauren] What? – [Rhett] This is a panoramic gone wrong. You know how that happens. – [Lauren] Oh, it’s like a human centipede. – Baby. – Baby. – [Rhett] Yeah. Right, right, right. – Thank you for saying that, Lauren. (Lauren laughs) And what are we against? Oh, another baby watching a meat grinder. – The baby is the same like, complexion as the sausage being made, so it feels like it’s definitely human that’s coming out of there. – I just think, obviously, this is creeper. – Well, I have a theory that this human centipede baby may not be as creepy because now we know about that effect that happens and when you do the panoramic wrong or right, in this case, I guess if you were trying, and so it’s kind of like funny, but doesn’t make you. Like, just the shading. Like, when was that picture taken? Is this person alive? – [Link] It’s like, the 80s. – What is in the sausage? Is that a wok? I don’t know. – Yeah. – There’s lots of questions. – Just a baby being delighted by meat grinding just is cursed. – Yeah, yeah. I agree. Oh, meatballs. – Okay. – Okay, yeah. We’re in the meat territory. – Look, I have to trust my gut, even though it’s failed me already, but I’m gonna go over this way. – I’m coming over here. – I think that the meat grinder is more cursed, which means I have to choose the meat grinder. (crew laughing) Yes. All righty. Here we go. – So you’re done doing the thing where you just pick the… – Yeah, I am. – It’s not nearly as confusing as Link makes it. – I don’t trust you guys enough. – Okay. Okay. – Okay. – Taste good. – This is spicy. – Oh, good. I got a good one? I’m so relieved. I am winning. – Keep eating. It’s great. It’s really good. – Oh, my gosh. – Wait, did we have the? Okay, you both had spicy. – Oh, gosh. – You’re fine, though? Okay. (crew laughing) – That’s hot, girl. Oh, that’s hot. What? You like spicy? – No, I ate this one. – Oh. (crew laughing) I thought you like spicy because you were like. – Why is this so hard for you? – [Stevie] So confused. – He had it. – Why is it so hard for you to under? I ate the whole meat. (gasps) I swallowed it. (crew laughing) – He thought I was fine. I’m like. – Nicole just looked at me like that was a bad idea. How much stuff is in there? – [Nicole] A lot. – A lot of what? (Link hiccups) – [Nicole] Stevie will tell you. – I still taste. It might erase the bitter taste from the other thing because I still have that. – [Stevie] I don’t have the amount of scorpion pepper that’s in there. I just know it’s scorpion pepper and you’re both hiccuping, so. – Scorpion pepper? – [Stevie] I don’t even know what’s happening now. (Link hiccups) I do know that 18% of the Mythical Beasts believed that the Sweeney toddler was the most cursed, which means 82% believed that the baby centipede was more cursed. – I shouldn’t have eaten the whole thing. (gentle guitar music) – Are you guys okay? – No. – No. Starting to feel better, though. – Ew? – [Rhett] Oh, man. – [Link] What in the world? – [Link] a It’s like Craigslist date. This is really creepy. – [Rhett] Is that a bear? – It’s a woman. It’s a blow up doll with a bear head and a wig and beautiful breasts. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – And what’s on the right? – Lauren And that guy looks real. He looks like he just got caught. – [Rhett] Yeah. He’s like, oh, I didn’t know you brought your camera. – And over here. – Oh, other. Oh, a beautiful woman. (crew laughing) – [Link] Is this a doll, too? – [Lauren] It looks like. Well, it’s in water. – [Rhett] It’s a waterproof. – [Lauren] So it’s high-quality doll – So similar theme here. – She looks like the water’s really cold and I’m just talking about her face and her posture. – [Rhett] I’m glad I brought my sweater. – We have some experience with, you know, a doll of this type, but. – Okay. (crew laughing) – Yeah, we once had a- – We had to fix our eyes. We were like her optometrist. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – When you do too much damage to one of these dolls, you break it, you buy it. You know what I’m saying? – Okay, again, no more info needed. – We’ll send you the link later. – I’m good. Let’s open the cloches. (Rhett and Lauren laughing) – Not a lot to go on here. Man, my mouth is on fire! – This makes me upset because I love chocolate and I’m just sad if I get the wrong one. – [Rhett] And look at this gold leaf. – [Lauren] Yeah, it’s really pretty. – This is a tough one, guys, because I mean, just the cursed relationship versus just- – Yeah, you think about what’s going on. But so far, context hasn’t done a lot for us. – Well, because like, if I was in a pool and then this started walking towards me, that’d be very scary but like, this looks just objectively cursed. Like something horrible is happening here and I don’t know. I mean, I don’t know. This is… – I feel this is a 50-50 to me. – I guess if I’m just going by the definition of cursed, I might go towards the lady in the pool. – I’m going over here. I’m going with the scenario. – I can’t decide! – Pick your chocolate. – What are you doing? – I’m too scared to. – Yeah. I’m going get this one. – Oh, gosh. – I’m scared. I think the relationship. – No, I hate when you guys go against me! – Well, last time, that didn’t work out so well for us. – I know, but it still stresses me out to be alone. – Here we go. – Okay. Whole thing? – Yeah. (Lauren gasping) – Here you go. (Lauren spitting) Oh, wow. She used two cans. – There’s wasabi in it. – Oh! – It’s horrible. – Oh, is it hitting you now? (Rhett and crew laughing) (claps) I’m so glad that didn’t happen to me. – That sucked. Can I eat this? – I love the fact that you directed that look to them because right, it’s their fault. Not our fault. – What was the percentage breakdown on that, Stevie? – [Stevie] Well, that was a wasabi-filled bonbon. – I know. – [Stevie] And this was like our closest one. So 35% of the Mythical Beasts believed that plastic Penelope, which is what we’re calling her, was the most cursed and 65% believed that mouse companion was the most cursed. – Oh, it’s a mouse. – That explains it. – Everybody needs a mouse companion. – Okay, that was sick, but I did like that one. That was good. (gentle guitar music) – Okay. Last round. – What’s here? Oh, no! It’s cursing stuck. – Okay. Hate it. – Oh, my gosh. – [Link] Watermelon? – [Rhett] The old watermelon lady. – [Lauren] Yeah, the eyes are really terrifying. – [Link] Wild. – So I think she did makeup that looks like watermelon. I don’t know. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – Okay. – Let’s see this one. Oh, gosh. – [Lauren] What’s happening here? – [Link] Got a little blurred image action. – [Lauren] Blurred image of an eagle. Or what is it, an owl with the leg? – [Link] That’s a chicken leg. – Oh, wait, I just saw the legs. I didn’t see them. – It’s a whole, like, guys, it’s like a whole leg of like, an elk or something. – Oh, my God. It’s like a horse. Oh, my God, I thought it was like, a bird that she was holding with his leg sticking out. – [Link] Is it roasted or raw? – Now, did you have experiences like this in North Carolina growing up? – Yeah, this was every Friday night. (Lauren laughs) – [Link] Rip a leg off something and then put it on the cheek of your daughter. – (laughs) Oh, my gosh. – All right. – I’m almost comforted by the watermelon lady now. – [Link] Well, there’s your answer. – [Rhett] Every time I look at her. – [Lauren] I think watermelon’s more cursed. – Oh, you do? – Yeah. – Well, let’s see what we’re gonna eat because you guys are weighing in. Oh, we have some fruit. – This fitting. – Okay, that seems fine. – So let’s eat the watermelon because of the watermelon lady, even though. – You think, so you’re going with watermelon lady’s worse? – I actually think it is worse. – No, I disagree. – You guys. – You’re on your own again. – I really wish we’d get on the same page. All right, hold on. – Ready? – Dink it. – I’m not dinking in case she’s got a bad one. – I’m not touching it. – And sink it. – Okay. We were wrong. (crew laughing) – Sour! – Oh, it’s super sour. – Sour! – I’m so happy. (crew laughing) – But think about that little girl and her- – Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think- – Dismembered elk. – They thought it was an owl or an eagle. – This is truly. (Rhett gasps) – This woman is really scary. – [Stevie] It’s a pretty wide split. Yeah, 28% voted for ostrich girl. – Ostrich? – Is it an ostrich leg? – [Stevie] And 72% voted for melon head. – Ostrich girl. If I’d had known that. (bell rings) It doesn’t seem weird at all. (chuckles) – That’s so weird. – Why is she putting her face on it? That is so cursed, y’all. – [Lauren] Yeah, why is it still connected to the foot? – Well, Lauren, you were in sync with the Mythical Beasts a lot more than we are, which I don’t know what that says about us. – Yeah, you know them better than we do? – I feel like my body is gonna have to make a lot of adjustments. It’s like I’m gonna have to go through a second puberty after this episode. – Well, you need one.
