A long, drifting ad read for the streetwear brand FUCT that spirals into riffing on hypebeast culture, resellers, sneakerheads, and trying on the merch live with Ben, including jokes about a bin Laden scarf and Sinaloa cartel merchandise.

In this bit10 moments
  • Tim's strategy for dealing with woke people: out-woke them by suggesting increasingly extreme positions like nuking Washington DC instead of removing monuments.
  • Influencers like Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star have become so wealthy they essentially own planets, making cancellation attempts meaningless.
  • Tim questions why the makeup industry generates trillions of dollars when people are broke and starving, wondering how cosmetics became the only profitable business in America.
  • Appearance of Jeffree Star: if you bumped into him on the street, you wouldn't guess he made money in beauty consulting.
  • Shane Dawson did blackface in photos where he looked like Oprah, a reason Tim avoids blackface to prevent being called offensive names.
  • Tim recalls performing in a community theater production of South Pacific as a child, given bronze makeup, Asian eyes, and a black wig despite being white.
  • Texas shutting down again; rattlesnake bites are a popular appetizer there—jalapeño poppers wrapped in bacon.
  • In LA, Tim sees young people lined up outside stores and learns they're hypebeast culture fans waiting for FUCT clothing drops.
  • FUCT clothing sells out in minutes on drop days; hypebeast resellers treat it as a flipping game with high resale value.
  • FUCT's LA pop-up got shut down by LAPD, demonstrating how seriously people take the brand despite it being just clothing.
