- I feel like I'm harboring a secret.
We have all of these videos in our graveyard
that we filmed and edited
but actually have not seen the light of day.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Chris Chan
and I work here at cut.com, I'm a visual anthropologist.
This is our weekly series called Chansplaining
in which I chansplain to you some of the things
behind the scenes here at Cut.
So, I just want to talk a little bit
about all of the secret videos
that will never get released on our channel
and a little bit about
why we take so seriously what does go on the channel.
So, first video.
Grandmas Read 50 Shades of Grey.
- "Holy shit.
"His other hand grabs my hair
"and yanks down,
"bringing my face up in his lips are on mine."
- Ooh.
I loved watching the footage
from the grandmas 50 Shades shoot
because so many of them are so candid about their sex lives.
But unlike the Grandmas Smoking Weed video
or the Grandmas Reviewing Sex Toys video,
at the end we don't really get the sense
that our expectations are subverted.
Like, we don't get the sense that
these are not just grandmothers.
I don't think it really holds up
to some of the other grandma videos we've done.
But because we're naughty, I'm gonna show you
some snippets of it here.
- "What?
"Oh my.
"'I need washing, too,' he murmurs."
Oh, are we going for the anal here?
- "My inner goddess is thrilled.
"I can do this.
"I can fuck him with my mouth."
- "My breasts swell and my nipples harden
"under his steady gaze."
- "I'm beyond warm, warm and chilled and wanting,
"wanting him inside me now."
Sorry, I'm smiling.
- "He wants me to touch him.
"Hm, okay, bring it on."
Do I go further?
- You guys know that another series
that really put Cut on the map
was a 100 Years of Beauty.
The classic beauty time-lapse series
that's super viral an has been replicated many times.
The thing about 100 Years of Beauty,
it's a nightmare to produce 'cause it takes so much work
and so much energy from so many different people,
and if one thing goes wrong, it can actually
kind of ruin the project.
So, in the case of 100 Years of Beauty UK,
we experimented a little.
So the inspiration that we drew a lot from
for 100 Years of Beauty UK
was the royal family and women in it over the years.
But if you know anybody from England
then they will be the first to tell you
that they actually make fun of the royal family all the time
and their fashion and their hairstyles.
And so as we were making our model up
to reference all these people,
it just did not exactly hit the nail on the head
and it doesn't really stand up
to some of the other videos in the series
that draw from more diverse sources.
Okay, what's another one?
We filmed a game show once.
It was called Ultimate.
Never saw the light of day, sadly.
It's a simple concept, actually.
We have two people playing a really simple game,
like thumb war or tic-tac-toe or something,
only the loser has to spin a huge wheel
that has really horrible, humiliating,
disturbing dares on it.
- No! - Oh, Nikki.
(laughing)
Wait, no!
Oh, that's close. - Fuck this shit!
- The idea's that we'd subvert
the traditional game show format in which
most of the show is about the gameplay
and the strategy and stuff
and there's a prize at the end.
In this case, it's like horrible,
horrible, horrible punishment
and that the game itself becomes a game of suspense.
The video was fun to make but
it maybe didn't become like the splendid piece of art
that we wanted it to be.
I feel bad because Nikki smashed her phone
with a sledgehammer because she lost.
That said, I think we learned a lot from making it
and the potential that you see in Ultimate,
we have brought to life in Would You Rather,
which is our other game show.
- Like, hey, would you rather do this horrible thing
or this horrible thing?
- We present the punishments up front
and then spend the entire episode with these guys
struggling, considering which one to do.
- Tooth could get knocked out, broken finger, broken toe.
- I'm not gonna do that.
- No! - I'm not gonna do that.
- You also might see a little bit of that game
in another series we do, Fear Pong,
which is, again, a simple game
with the tension and the suspense
about humiliation and awkward, cringe-moments
and stuff like that.
- Have a Lady and the Tramp-style kiss with your opponent.
Oh my God.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
(giggling)
(laughing)
- I'll just say, you know, working at Cut
is a dream job, but part of that dream
is killing your babies sometimes
and cutting the projects that don't quite hit the target.
And I promise you, we'll make more videos
that we'll cut.
It's not anything personal, it's just
if we released everything that we thought of and filmed,
you wouldn't be here, because you kind of
have an expectation about
the content you'll see on this channel.
All right, thanks so much, you guys,
for coming to Chansplaining and watching me chansplain.
I can't believe you made it this far.
Well, if you did, leave a comment or a question below.
You know I read them.
Don't forget to like us on Facebook,
don't forget to tag your grandmother.
See you in hell.
