 Where's my water? What did you do with it? I didn't touch your water. Where's my water? I didn't touch your water. Oh I found it. Welcome back to our Stupid Reactions. Yeah idiots. Yeah, my name Melamo. Me amo el Corbin. Me llamo es Ricardo. Welcome and bienvenue. Welcome. Come on in. They were so sympathetic to follow our official Twitter account. The content here is freaking juicy. So put on a bib Today we are reacting to a little uh ad. Oh, how little is it? It's one of those little tiny ones that walks in and says hello. Hi, I'm your pad. This is called man enough Shaving stereotypes right on from Gillette. Excellent. Wait a minute man enough shaving stereotypes Gillette India So I think there's a little uh Something they gave me a little a little commercial with you Note is that where I should be reading? Yes, newt. By presenting the real life story of lute. Oh great I'm doing it silly and it's probably going to be very meaningful out. You're a terrible person Really by presenting the real life story of lieutenant colonel mk Sinah sm retired and his father We want to pave the way for a new understanding of manliness and strength that the next generation of men should aspire to That excites me. Cool. Let's just get into it Uh And it's just a short little ad so cool It's a bit I've there are some ads It's an art form in and of itself what? Advertisers have to come up with and the people create them in such a I have seen ads where I have been captured Emotionally within the first 10 seconds. That is so hard. Yeah, so here we go. See That's the toughest man I know Air Force veteran Vishwanath Sinha My dad I remember as a child I was chased by an angry bull and I ran straight towards him crying He held me in his arms and said wipe those tears off You are a man. I guess I stopped crying because I wanted to be like him tough and strong No matter how hard you take it No tears And so I had I had my pain like dad would want me to I did not want him to say my words That I'm weak I was being a man But this time he didn't ask me to wipe my tears off We both realized that showing what you really feel doesn't make you less of a man Raising a strong boy also meant telling him it was okay It was okay for boys to cry Men can cry Even soldiers can cry Great add great message. Yep In it uh that a lot of men need to hear Um a lot of men a lot of a lot of men need to hear that that Even though like you guys know i'm not i'm not an emotional person At all, but it's not because I don't feel like I can't You know, it's totally different. Yeah, it's the fact that the fact that you don't cry like the joke of making Corbin cry Yeah Is completely different. Yeah from men who refuse to cry because they consider it to be a weakness You're not that kind of a man. No, I don't I so I don't care what people think about me. Exactly. No, it's just It is I am so I'm really really grateful that I grew up with a man As an example for me my dad Who and not just my dad. This is actually An interesting ongoing conversation I've been having with indrani because I've shown her some of the films That I grew up with that shaped me into the man that I am was gonna gonna know you think And I hadn't really thought about it until I was talking about her About the films I saw and how those films Taught me what masculinity is Because the films that I saw were the same masculinity I saw on my dad, which was simultaneously incredibly strong alpha And emotionally available and vulnerable the quintessential example of that is rocky Rocky is a guy who will get in a street fight. He's a brawler. He's got guts He can snarl and he's completely unafraid to cry and be emotional and express his love and words and physical touch And a lot of my male role models growing up where my dad was that way Stallone and his films was that way Mel Gibson's brave heart was the both a lover and a fighter But there are millions of men not only in india everywhere all over the world here in the united states. It's huge Who will tell their sons? Men don't cry and that is bs guys, but there there is no crying in baseball. That's yeah, that is true That's true You know crying in baseball if you don't know referring to go watch the league of their own. Yeah No, but yeah, no, this was a fantastic message. I grew up with two fathers My father who's in the military and then my stepfather who's uh, not in the military Not relevant You know, he's not in the military, but uh, both, uh, have always been able to You know show their emotions and also be manly man my my stepfather. He's a very well-dressed Metro, I think you'd be called technically metrosexual In terms because he's just a well-dressed man. Right. He likes he loves shopping. He loves shoes He's that type of person, but he's also not afraid. He's a very he's a manly man He's not afraid to show his emotions. My dad. He's a manly man. He builds up. He's a military Yeah teaches people how to shoot specialized weapons It's like he's a manly man whenever it's just I never got that emotional side of me Which is one of the issues that I take when Because I agree that this is a message that I will teach my son that it's okay to cry Right, you're okay to show your emotions, but also I I've seen comments that said corbin. It's okay for you to cry Yeah, it's like guys some some people just don't show emotion in that way and that's there's nothing wrong I can't help that my eyes don't tear up when I get emotional I've said in films like that was a really emotional moment. Right. I could feel the emotion Yeah guys, corbin doesn't have a wall I mean he does the personal work as an actor He just doesn't get the connection into the biology of his eyeballs. No, it just doesn't go. I don't think I have tear ducts They might have been taken out of the earth or something I don't know but yeah, this is a great message I love that Gillette. I didn't know that they actually have a cause an organization about redefining Masculinity which I do know through Uh, obviously indrani and I talk about everything and that's one of the things her being someone who was born and raised and grew up in India That they're to this day still is A pervasive stereotype for a lot of indians like there are here in the united states that Men don't cry And that if a man cries he's showing he's weak and it's just a lie I've actually discovered and the other thing that helps this is being an actor Are have to be emotionally available so Being an artist It's it's just natural I've I've been around men that cry the natural response that I've seen for men crying is to hold each other and to talk and to hold hands And to just be expressive And but there are a lot of circles Where young men need to hear and see especially from their dads That crying is a human expression and it actually takes strength It takes more strength for a man to be vulnerable Than it does for them to hide what they're feeling. Absolutely way more strength. Absolutely It's easy to hide what you're feeling. It is very easy to hide There's nothing meritorious in it either Um, you know, I think it's changing. Well, I don't know about india, but me in the united states It's changing it is obviously with the newer generations of Redefining basically what what is manly and what is what is not manly Or also what is required of men and what is required of women And how you don't have to conform to whatever that is. No, do you remember when president obama After this, I don't remember which school shooting it was out of the five six thousand we've had in the past 15 years when he was commenting on the school shooting and One of the biggest people people commented on was the fact that he actually shed tears. Do you remember that? It was a big deal here in america because it was the first time Possibly ever that a president allowed himself To shed tears openly and in public and there were some people who said he was putting on a show which is a lie Um, there were certain networks that said he was weak because he was right that he was weak by I think you can guess what network that is. Yeah, and I think you can guess Our opinion that I thought it was a really beautiful moment and a signal for the change that has happened Of toxic masculinity Turning into toxic masculinity is a real thing. It is. It's not saying masculinity is toxic It is saying certain things about like if you require certain things of men Is a toxic thing. Yeah, like if you say men can't cry if you think men can only have to be tough They have to fight it's like if you think just manliness is the ultimate goal of the old school term of manliness That's toxic. Yes, not saying manliness all manliness is toxic I'm very proud of the fact that I know how to field dress a deer And I also know how to do a pirouette and land in a plie These field dress a deer euphemism
