00:00:00.423 --> 00:00:04.066
- I am so uncomfortable right now.

00:00:04.066 --> 00:00:06.096
- Recently we made a video
called "Men get Photoshopped

00:00:06.096 --> 00:00:08.012
"Into Ideal Male Body Types."

00:00:08.012 --> 00:00:12.404
- It was a look at how
Photoshop affected us as guys.

00:00:12.404 --> 00:00:14.693
- What we weren't expecting was this huge

00:00:14.693 --> 00:00:16.608
response that women
have to go through this

00:00:16.608 --> 00:00:17.732
every single day.

00:00:17.732 --> 00:00:19.733
- So, today, we as men are
going to get Photoshopped

00:00:19.733 --> 00:00:22.397
to the standards that a
woman would be Photoshopped.

00:00:22.397 --> 00:00:23.909
- We have been Photoshopped before,

00:00:23.909 --> 00:00:25.911
but never like this.

00:00:25.911 --> 00:00:27.380
- [All] Ahh!

00:00:27.380 --> 00:00:29.963
(upbeat music)

00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:34.536
- So, in all honesty, across media,

00:00:34.536 --> 00:00:37.632
how much of beauty is Photoshopped?

00:00:37.632 --> 00:00:38.914
- Like all of it.

00:00:38.914 --> 00:00:39.747
- All of it?

00:00:39.747 --> 00:00:42.903
- Unless an ad specifically says,

00:00:42.903 --> 00:00:44.688
"This has not been Photoshopped",

00:00:44.688 --> 00:00:46.661
I guarantee it has been Photoshopped.

00:00:46.661 --> 00:00:48.418
- It would be really cool
if we lived in a society

00:00:48.418 --> 00:00:50.117
where people didn't have
to alter their looks

00:00:50.117 --> 00:00:52.868
to be accepted but that's
not the society we live in

00:00:52.868 --> 00:00:54.812
and it's been sorta this
way for a long time.

00:00:54.812 --> 00:00:57.288
- Sometimes they credit
it back to the pinup era,

00:00:57.288 --> 00:00:59.045
like a lot of people
were illustrating women

00:00:59.045 --> 00:01:00.269
instead of taking their photos.

00:01:00.269 --> 00:01:02.588
And they would exaggerate
the women's bodies

00:01:02.588 --> 00:01:06.029
to look like more idealistic
versions of themselves.

00:01:06.029 --> 00:01:08.232
- We're constantly looking at
images that have been altered.

00:01:08.232 --> 00:01:11.674
We only notice it when it
goes just a step too far.

00:01:11.674 --> 00:01:14.496
- So, what we're recreating
today are examples

00:01:14.496 --> 00:01:16.383
of disastrous Photoshop.

00:01:16.383 --> 00:01:17.534
- Correct.

00:01:17.534 --> 00:01:19.263
- Your butt looks so much better already.

00:01:19.263 --> 00:01:20.890
- How, what?

00:01:20.890 --> 00:01:22.805
So, I'm gonna do the
Victoria Secret underwear ad

00:01:22.805 --> 00:01:24.461
where she loses half of her butt.

00:01:24.461 --> 00:01:25.440
(laughs)

00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:27.010
How does a Photoshop person do that?

00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:29.328
- I think that they are
going for a thigh gap.

00:01:29.328 --> 00:01:31.546
- Why do people want so much
space between their thighs?

00:01:31.546 --> 00:01:34.685
- Like, unfortunately, body
types go in and out of fashion.

00:01:34.685 --> 00:01:37.940
Young women, you know, they
want to do what the guy says

00:01:37.940 --> 00:01:38.789
is hot.

00:01:38.789 --> 00:01:39.826
- You're contouring my eye?

00:01:39.826 --> 00:01:41.554
So, I'm doing a Ralph Lauren ad.

00:01:41.554 --> 00:01:43.023
What were they thinking?

00:01:43.023 --> 00:01:45.284
- The Ralph Lauren in Asia took this ad,

00:01:45.284 --> 00:01:47.098
Photoshopped it to what they thought

00:01:47.098 --> 00:01:48.984
was the ideal beauty standard.

00:01:48.984 --> 00:01:49.978
- Which was smaller.

00:01:49.978 --> 00:01:51.231
- Which was very small.

00:01:51.231 --> 00:01:53.592
- If I were doing it, I would
probably slim your cheeks

00:01:53.592 --> 00:01:54.658
a little bit more and even...

00:01:54.658 --> 00:01:55.752
- What's wrong with my cheeks?

00:01:55.752 --> 00:01:57.596
And in this context,
being too big is what?

00:01:57.596 --> 00:02:00.260
- I think she was like
120 pounds or something.

00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:02.463
- You are painting my face like the joker.

00:02:02.463 --> 00:02:04.940
I'm recreating a recent
Kim Kardashian photo.

00:02:04.940 --> 00:02:07.071
- People are arguing back and forth

00:02:07.071 --> 00:02:09.072
whether she did actually
Photoshop the image

00:02:09.072 --> 00:02:11.304
regardless, I think the Kardashians

00:02:11.304 --> 00:02:13.810
are kind of notorious
for always wanting to use

00:02:13.810 --> 00:02:15.970
Photoshop and kind of
look like the best version

00:02:15.970 --> 00:02:17.137
of themselves.

00:02:18.215 --> 00:02:19.772
- What's going on with the Madonna photo?

00:02:19.772 --> 00:02:21.572
- Her before and afters
were incredibly different

00:02:21.572 --> 00:02:23.199
and striking.

00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.639
They took out her wrinkles.

00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:26.741
- Airbrushed and just crazy.

00:02:26.741 --> 00:02:29.967
- The Madonna photo is your
extreme case of Photoshop.

00:02:29.967 --> 00:02:32.501
- Society cuts you off at a certain age

00:02:32.501 --> 00:02:34.359
and I think it's so hard for a woman to

00:02:34.359 --> 00:02:35.698
age gracefully.

00:02:35.698 --> 00:02:38.333
- I mean, I got, a blemish or two.

00:02:38.333 --> 00:02:39.341
- You're pretty fucked up, man.

00:02:39.341 --> 00:02:40.191
(laughs)

00:02:40.191 --> 00:02:41.530
- It really after a while
starts to infiltrate

00:02:41.530 --> 00:02:42.437
your own psyche.

00:02:42.437 --> 00:02:44.136
The sort of unrealistic
expectation of what

00:02:44.136 --> 00:02:46.700
is put out there as a beautiful woman

00:02:46.700 --> 00:02:48.687
when really she doesn't
even look like that.

00:02:48.687 --> 00:02:49.968
- As a makeup artist, natural means

00:02:49.968 --> 00:02:52.820
a lot of makeup to look
like not a lot of makeup.

00:02:52.820 --> 00:02:54.548
- People in the fashion industry know

00:02:54.548 --> 00:02:56.290
what's going to look good on camera.

00:02:56.290 --> 00:02:57.672
- His face is just a little wide.

00:02:57.672 --> 00:03:00.495
So, we're trying to bring
it a little bit closer.

00:03:00.495 --> 00:03:02.885
- I think that you will learn a lot about

00:03:02.885 --> 00:03:05.924
what expectations are put on you.

00:03:05.924 --> 00:03:08.400
Even from the moment that
you step into the shoot.

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.747
- Normally women do already come prepared

00:03:10.747 --> 00:03:12.404
with everything waxed.

00:03:12.404 --> 00:03:13.541
- Everything?

00:03:13.541 --> 00:03:14.374
- Everything.

00:03:14.374 --> 00:03:15.788
- I think a lot of people assume that

00:03:15.788 --> 00:03:18.207
a lot of it's done post, but a lot of work

00:03:18.207 --> 00:03:20.496
goes into making people
look the way they do

00:03:20.496 --> 00:03:21.591
for a cover shoot.

00:03:21.591 --> 00:03:23.535
- Oh, there's cream on my thighs.

00:03:23.535 --> 00:03:25.292
There's a brush on my butt.

00:03:25.292 --> 00:03:27.149
This is a, this is a feeling.

00:03:27.149 --> 00:03:30.029
- With celebrities like the
Kardashians are contouring,

00:03:30.029 --> 00:03:32.621
and then getting professional
photo shoots done,

00:03:32.621 --> 00:03:35.516
and then also Photoshopping,
just seems like a lot of work.

00:03:35.516 --> 00:03:37.964
- I would say we're ready for a set.

00:03:37.964 --> 00:03:38.797
- How long was that?

00:03:38.797 --> 00:03:39.807
- It's like 45 minutes.

00:03:39.807 --> 00:03:41.002
- 45 minutes?

00:03:41.002 --> 00:03:42.471
- Yeah.

00:03:42.471 --> 00:03:43.752
- Ready to paint my naked body?

00:03:43.752 --> 00:03:47.108
(upbeat electronic music)

00:03:47.108 --> 00:03:48.116
- I thought, "Why are
you touching me up here?

00:03:48.116 --> 00:03:49.210
"I thought we already made me beautiful."

00:03:49.210 --> 00:03:50.333
- Just a little bit more.

00:03:50.333 --> 00:03:53.069
- I'm getting oil rubbed on my body

00:03:53.069 --> 00:03:55.359
while another man makes
my butt look better.

00:03:55.359 --> 00:03:57.706
- Try so hard to know
that you're beautiful.

00:03:57.706 --> 00:03:59.621
And they'll start saying all these things

00:03:59.621 --> 00:04:00.500
to you that you're like,

00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:02.184
"Woah, I didn't even realize
I had that as a problem."

00:04:02.184 --> 00:04:03.408
He's looking a little baggy.

00:04:03.408 --> 00:04:04.287
- Baggy?

00:04:04.287 --> 00:04:05.410
Are you kidding me?

00:04:05.410 --> 00:04:06.447
- This is not untouched.

00:04:06.447 --> 00:04:07.772
I've been touched a lot today.

00:04:07.772 --> 00:04:09.615
- I've heard celebrities say that's like

00:04:09.615 --> 00:04:10.896
an idealized version of me.

00:04:10.896 --> 00:04:12.120
And they're like, "I
wish I was like that."

00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:13.445
This is the weirdest.

00:04:13.445 --> 00:04:16.368
- Try to stick out your
butt as much as possible

00:04:16.368 --> 00:04:18.110
and arch your back.

00:04:18.110 --> 00:04:19.521
- Move your hips a little back,

00:04:19.521 --> 00:04:21.336
but try not to point,

00:04:21.336 --> 00:04:22.169
just kinda...

00:04:22.169 --> 00:04:23.856
- If you want it long, it has to point.

00:04:23.856 --> 00:04:26.073
- Bring that towards us
and push that one back.

00:04:26.073 --> 00:04:27.398
- Can you make your butt tighter though?

00:04:27.398 --> 00:04:28.896
But not like you're clenching.

00:04:28.896 --> 00:04:30.465
- I don't know what you mean.

00:04:30.465 --> 00:04:31.298
- Zach?

00:04:31.298 --> 00:04:32.131
- Yeah.

00:04:32.131 --> 00:04:32.964
- Listen to me.

00:04:32.964 --> 00:04:33.797
- No, I'm listening.

00:04:33.797 --> 00:04:35.232
- It's hard to arch the
back and get the chin,

00:04:35.232 --> 00:04:36.700
'cause I feel like they
must have shopped this.

00:04:36.700 --> 00:04:38.486
- Give me a little sultry look,

00:04:38.486 --> 00:04:39.523
but less mad.

00:04:39.523 --> 00:04:40.588
Less like you're trying.

00:04:40.588 --> 00:04:41.971
No, no, no.

00:04:41.971 --> 00:04:42.907
Like this, yes.

00:04:42.907 --> 00:04:43.972
Like sexy Gollum.

00:04:43.972 --> 00:04:46.608
- What has it got in its pockets?

00:04:46.608 --> 00:04:48.393
- Can you look a little sexier?

00:04:48.393 --> 00:04:49.588
You look very scared right now.

00:04:49.588 --> 00:04:52.036
- I mean, in some ways,
I am scared right now.

00:04:52.036 --> 00:04:53.664
- I think the most shocking part

00:04:53.664 --> 00:04:56.702
might be after you see the
Photoshopped version of yourself,

00:04:56.702 --> 00:05:00.561
you basically have seen
what someone wished

00:05:00.561 --> 00:05:01.900
that you looked like.

00:05:01.900 --> 00:05:04.507
- I'm like, I'm massively contorted here.

00:05:04.507 --> 00:05:05.976
- Oh, I'm dying.

00:05:05.976 --> 00:05:07.329
How does Kim K. do it?

00:05:07.329 --> 00:05:09.777
- It's so hard to not let that affect you.

00:05:09.777 --> 00:05:10.843
- [Photographer] Look more seductive.

00:05:10.843 --> 00:05:11.676
- Okay.

00:05:11.676 --> 00:05:12.600
- [Photographer] And you'll be fine.

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:13.433
- Okay.

00:05:13.433 --> 00:05:14.918
- This is a hypersexualized position

00:05:14.918 --> 00:05:18.172
and my face is not a part
of who I am at all in this.

00:05:18.172 --> 00:05:19.310
- I'm an object.

00:05:19.310 --> 00:05:20.520
My face won't even be in the photo.

00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:22.089
- Also, think about this.

00:05:22.089 --> 00:05:23.126
This is their job.

00:05:23.126 --> 00:05:24.062
To look good,

00:05:24.062 --> 00:05:25.315
everyday, all day.

00:05:25.315 --> 00:05:26.481
- I think we got it.

00:05:26.481 --> 00:05:28.051
- Oh ho, ho, ho.

00:05:28.051 --> 00:05:28.884
Oh my God.

00:05:29.894 --> 00:05:31.060
- I feel terrible.

00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:32.716
- I just felt so beaten down

00:05:32.716 --> 00:05:35.640
and like there were expectations of me

00:05:35.640 --> 00:05:37.051
that I couldn't meet.

00:05:37.051 --> 00:05:39.672
- Be angular and hard but
be soft and be seductive

00:05:39.672 --> 00:05:40.593
but innocent.

00:05:40.593 --> 00:05:41.529
It's like, "What are you?

00:05:41.529 --> 00:05:43.128
"I can't be all of these things at once."

00:05:43.128 --> 00:05:46.382
- Everything you think
is real is constructed.

00:05:46.382 --> 00:05:48.240
Hopefully not in an artful way,

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:49.392
but it's constructed.

00:05:49.392 --> 00:05:50.716
- There was nothing human about that.

00:05:50.716 --> 00:05:51.998
It's just an object

00:05:51.998 --> 00:05:54.158
lit beautifully and now it will be

00:05:54.158 --> 00:05:55.598
Photoshopped to look better.

00:05:55.598 --> 00:05:58.181
(upbeat music)

00:06:14.289 --> 00:06:15.122
- And you don't have her ass.

00:06:15.122 --> 00:06:16.872
- No one has her ass.

00:06:28.188 --> 00:06:31.209
- I'm both excited and very nervous.

00:06:31.209 --> 00:06:32.275
- [All] Woah!

00:06:32.275 --> 00:06:34.334
- I think you look beautiful.

00:06:34.334 --> 00:06:35.932
- Let's see the photo.

00:06:35.932 --> 00:06:37.156
Oh.

00:06:37.156 --> 00:06:39.906
- Oh, those arms sure did shrink.

00:06:41.332 --> 00:06:42.614
- They look like string beans.

00:06:42.614 --> 00:06:44.342
I have bendy straws for arms.

00:06:44.342 --> 00:06:46.185
- It's really weird, but
the more I stare at this,

00:06:46.185 --> 00:06:47.726
the more normal you look to me.

00:06:47.726 --> 00:06:48.892
- I agree.

00:06:48.892 --> 00:06:50.304
- Yeah, I'm getting really used to it.

00:06:50.304 --> 00:06:52.003
- I know that I'm a very skinny person.

00:06:52.003 --> 00:06:54.278
But like, seeing them together, I'm like,

00:06:54.278 --> 00:06:56.539
"Oh no, we should take some
of the roundness off that."

00:06:56.539 --> 00:06:58.166
Now that I see the one
on the right, I'm like,

00:06:58.166 --> 00:07:00.801
"I look chubby as fuck in the left photo."

00:07:00.801 --> 00:07:03.120
- Can you imagine being a young girl,

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.473
having to look at images like this?

00:07:04.473 --> 00:07:05.784
- Since there always will be Photoshop,

00:07:05.784 --> 00:07:10.046
stay body positive with the
current body that you have

00:07:10.046 --> 00:07:13.128
and to know that where you
are right now, is great.

00:07:13.128 --> 00:07:14.280
- So, now we're going
to look at the picture

00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:15.792
that I was recreating.

00:07:15.792 --> 00:07:17.875
(laughs)

00:07:19.262 --> 00:07:20.744
What a nightmare.

00:07:20.744 --> 00:07:23.380
Are we ready to see Keith 2 point Oh?

00:07:23.380 --> 00:07:25.123
- [All] Oh.

00:07:25.123 --> 00:07:26.260
- Gross.

00:07:26.260 --> 00:07:28.132
I am a putty man.

00:07:28.132 --> 00:07:29.961
I don't like seeing myself like this.

00:07:29.961 --> 00:07:30.955
I hate this.

00:07:30.955 --> 00:07:32.596
- You don't like being seen as an object.

00:07:32.596 --> 00:07:34.814
- No, I don't want to be
seen like a sex object.

00:07:34.814 --> 00:07:36.916
I want to be seen as like a fun person.

00:07:36.916 --> 00:07:38.356
- But for a woman, this is obviously

00:07:38.356 --> 00:07:39.451
not realistic on the right,

00:07:39.451 --> 00:07:41.236
but the underwear looks nicer.

00:07:41.236 --> 00:07:43.684
- So, they're not only
Photoshopping my body,

00:07:43.684 --> 00:07:45.686
they are Photoshopping the product.

00:07:45.686 --> 00:07:47.617
So, there's like nothing true, right?

00:07:47.617 --> 00:07:49.752
Even when you look at
Golden Grahams on box,

00:07:49.752 --> 00:07:51.725
those fucking Golden
Grahams look way better

00:07:51.725 --> 00:07:52.949
than the ones in my bowl.

00:07:52.949 --> 00:07:54.662
- And if one of these
women were to just release,

00:07:54.662 --> 00:07:56.549
you know, a photo of
just what she looked like

00:07:56.549 --> 00:07:58.205
when she rolled out of
bed, it would be considered

00:07:58.205 --> 00:08:01.315
brave as opposed to just human.

00:08:01.315 --> 00:08:02.410
- Madonna.

00:08:02.410 --> 00:08:04.493
(laughs)

00:08:07.712 --> 00:08:10.042
- Let's see the Photoshopped
version of this.

00:08:10.042 --> 00:08:11.294
- Oh, no!

00:08:11.294 --> 00:08:13.080
- Holy shit.

00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:16.830
- (mumbles incomprehensibly)

00:08:18.293 --> 00:08:19.934
- All right, I'm done.

00:08:19.934 --> 00:08:21.245
- Why would you do that?

00:08:21.245 --> 00:08:22.627
- I'm gone, I'm gone.

00:08:22.627 --> 00:08:24.888
- No, that's not me.

00:08:24.888 --> 00:08:26.198
Freckles that I have are
what gives me character.

00:08:26.198 --> 00:08:28.862
I look like a vampire.

00:08:28.862 --> 00:08:31.253
- Also funny is that in
an effort to Photoshop you

00:08:31.253 --> 00:08:32.886
to look more like female
Photoshop standards,

00:08:32.886 --> 00:08:34.881
your look has gone from "I
will either murder or fuck you"

00:08:34.881 --> 00:08:36.901
to "Won't you please come fuck me?"

00:08:36.901 --> 00:08:38.125
- Yes, that's true.

00:08:38.125 --> 00:08:38.989
- You're right.

00:08:38.989 --> 00:08:39.997
- How did they do that?

00:08:39.997 --> 00:08:42.200
- And then you come under
fire when a picture of you

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:43.640
comes out that's not Photoshopped.

00:08:43.640 --> 00:08:45.138
And they're like, "Why
does she think she needs

00:08:45.138 --> 00:08:46.996
"to have so much redone on her?"

00:08:46.996 --> 00:08:48.738
And it's like, well
because all you do is tell

00:08:48.738 --> 00:08:49.804
her that she doesn't look good enough.

00:08:49.804 --> 00:08:51.978
- All right, so, let's see my photo

00:08:51.978 --> 00:08:52.914
as Kim Kardashian.

00:08:52.914 --> 00:08:54.037
- Are you sitting on your nuts?

00:08:54.037 --> 00:08:55.261
- Yeah, I was sitting on my nuts.

00:08:55.261 --> 00:08:57.306
- Is like one nut up
your butt hole right now?

00:08:57.306 --> 00:08:58.717
- Yeah, we're not gonna talk about it.

00:08:58.717 --> 00:09:00.128
- Oh.

00:09:00.128 --> 00:09:00.961
- Wow.

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:04.664
- You look like a sexy witch.

00:09:04.664 --> 00:09:06.306
- In real life or in the after photo?

00:09:06.306 --> 00:09:07.170
- A little of both.

00:09:07.170 --> 00:09:08.653
- I feel like I am looking at a painting.

00:09:08.653 --> 00:09:10.626
I might have to hang this in my house.

00:09:10.626 --> 00:09:12.570
- This should go over your fireplace.

00:09:12.570 --> 00:09:14.730
Photoshop is digital painting.

00:09:14.730 --> 00:09:16.732
You are so impossibly smooth.

00:09:16.732 --> 00:09:19.871
I mean, nobody's back goes so effortlessly

00:09:19.871 --> 00:09:21.383
into their butt like that.

00:09:21.383 --> 00:09:22.909
'Cause if you stood up,

00:09:22.909 --> 00:09:24.104
you would be a nightmare human.

00:09:24.104 --> 00:09:25.674
- One good thing though
is people are becoming

00:09:25.674 --> 00:09:27.200
more educated about the process

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.908
and what it takes to create these images

00:09:29.908 --> 00:09:31.564
and how we fit into it as a culture.

00:09:31.564 --> 00:09:33.032
- And when you hear

00:09:33.032 --> 00:09:37.453
another guy say something
super sexist or body shaming.

00:09:37.453 --> 00:09:38.519
- Tell them to shut the fuck up.

00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:39.352
- Yeah.

00:09:39.352 --> 00:09:40.185
- Go to hell.

00:09:40.185 --> 00:09:41.018
- Yeah.

00:09:41.018 --> 00:09:41.851
- Eat a dick.

00:09:41.851 --> 00:09:44.826
You should know that
all of media is altered.

00:09:44.826 --> 00:09:46.208
Everyone's trying to be better.

00:09:46.208 --> 00:09:48.556
Everyone's putting a better
version of themselves out there,

00:09:48.556 --> 00:09:52.098
so you can't judge your raw
self with someone else's

00:09:52.098 --> 00:09:53.265
affected self.

00:09:55.242 --> 00:09:56.144
- What's going on?

00:09:56.144 --> 00:09:57.786
- Um, Kim K is naked in the photo,

00:09:57.786 --> 00:09:59.312
so I have to be naked, but,

00:09:59.312 --> 00:10:03.200
to honor all the people on
set who should not see my dick

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.749
and balls, I'm trying to put
a sock over my dick and balls.

00:10:05.749 --> 00:10:07.405
- Not a big enough sock, huh?

00:10:07.405 --> 00:10:09.032
- All right.

00:10:09.032 --> 00:10:10.012
Try guys.

00:10:10.012 --> 00:10:10.845
- I love how you covered
your nipples briefly.

00:10:10.845 --> 00:10:12.463
- I feel so exposed.
