[00:00:00]IF YOU'RE A YOUNG, HIP, jenzying tick tocker like me, you probably know we're obsessed with our looks. I've got a full beat and I'm lowkey serving.

[00:00:14]Now, for the oldies who don't know what I'm TALKING ABOUT, NEITHER DO I. BUT WHAT I DO KNOW is that Jenz's decided to pull the vape out of their ass and take obsessing over their appearance to the next level. Looks maxing. It's an effort to maximize your looks. Often taken to the extreme. The goal to achieve what looks maxers call ascension or what they consider the optimal measure of beauty.

[00:00:39]Controversial looks maxer Clavvicular says he went to extreme measures to achieve his desired looks.

[00:00:46]>> I've done like a lot of things like fat dissolvers. Like I've injected lip policy agents into my face.

[00:00:54]>> Wow.

[00:00:55]They've done it. Dave invented an unfuckable personality.

[00:01:03]What kind of [ __ ] name is Clevicular?

[00:01:08]Sounds like he's planning an attack on the Ninja Turtles.

[00:01:12]Whoa. Clevicular is releasing gas into the sewers. Cowabunga, dude.

[00:01:20]But take it from me, looks maxers. It's a lot more fun to destroy your body than preserve it. The only thing you should be injecting is heroin into your dick.

[00:01:34]It It makes me feel LIKE GRACE KELLY. I MAY NOT be the princess of Monaco, but I am KING OF THIS STARBUCKS BATHROOM.

[00:01:45]But if you think these carved and plump douchebags are idiots, wait until you see these literal numb skulls.

[00:01:53]>> Bone smashing has become increasingly popular.

[00:01:56]>> Do you guys know about bone smashing?

[00:01:58]>> People taking massage guns or even hammers to the face.

[00:02:02]>> Smash them bones, baby.

[00:02:04]>> All to cause minor damage to the bone underneath in hopes that it will heal in a more pronounced way.

[00:02:11]>> JESUS CHRIST. WHAT THE IS HAPPENING?

[00:02:17]DON'T GET ME WRONG, IT'S NICE TO SEE kids doing some manual labor for once, but smashing your face with a hammer and hoping it heals correctly, what kind OF SHITBRAIN PLAN IS THAT? I HOPE I COME OUT OF this looking like George Clooney and not like I just gave oral to a Mac truck.

[00:02:41]And back in my day, you didn't break your face to improve your appearance.

[00:02:45]You broke your legs to get those sweet handicap spots.

[00:02:51]ENJOY THE LONG WALK TO COSTCO, POLIO PAUL.

[00:02:57]But of course, since there is no God, maxing doesn't stop with just looks. It now applies to everything.

[00:03:06]>> Sleep maxing. Millions of young adults now prioritizing their sleep routine.

[00:03:11]>> The trend is called fiber maxing and it's shorthand for getting a ton of fiber.

[00:03:15]>> Non-amaxing, a slower, more domestic lifestyle.

[00:03:18]>> Friction maxing designed to put time and space between your phone and your wallet.

[00:03:24]>> Even yogurt maxing.

[00:03:25]>> Yogurt is not a phase. It's a lifestyle.

[00:03:30]>> HOW THE IS YOGURT A LIFESTYLE?

[00:03:37]YOU CAN'T COME OUT TO YOUR parents as oos.

[00:03:42]JESUS CHRIST. WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE labeled maxing? Just call it what it is. Compulsively doing something to fill the sad empty void that is your life.

[00:03:57]Pretty catchy if you ask me. Still, it turns out these morons can do anything to the max, including jack [ __ ] >> It's called nothing maxing. Content creators making the deliberate decision to unplug, giving their brain time to do absolutely nothing.

[00:04:15]>> 20, 30 minutes in and you kind of feel a lot of your muscles let go. Your thoughts are clearer. You're leaving space to have that clarity.

[00:04:25]>> GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE. I'm just nothing maxing.

[00:04:31]I don't need a prescription for clinical depression.

[00:04:35]AND SOON I'LL BE BED sore maxing.

[00:04:42]And to be clear, this video doesn't even count as doing nothing. Okay? You still recorded it and posted it. Now my neighbor Cheryl, now she knows how to nothing max. Last week, Pape found her body being eaten by her 12 indoor cats.

[00:05:02]YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

[00:05:05]And she didn't move a muscle. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL CHILLAXING.

[00:05:12]But the more I learn about these maxing trends, it only gets worse. China Maxing features people from across the globe claiming to be Chinese while sharing lifestyle habits like only drinking warm water, wearing house slippers indoors, and making boiled apple tea with goji berries.

[00:05:32]>> My hot water with my goji berries, some lemon, some apple.

[00:05:36]>> These days, if you ask the internet, no matter where you were born, you too can be Chinese.

[00:05:42]>> I've been Chinese for about eight years.

[00:05:50]For the love of God, China already has a billion people.

[00:05:57]I don't think their leaders are like, "Hey guys, we could really use an extra Caitlyn with a Y.

[00:06:05]I can't believe I need to say this, but boiling a goji berry doesn't make you Chinese.

[00:06:13]You know what does MAKE YOU CHINESE?

[00:06:17]BEING [ __ ] CHINESE.

[00:06:22]I can't just wake up and go. I'm feeling a little Mexican today.

[00:06:28]Maybe I'll treat myself to a nice kinara.

[00:06:36]That chica is muente.

[00:06:41]But it's TIME TO STEP ASIDE, YOU pseudo Beijing bimbos. There's a hot new trend on the talk called Louiswis Maxing.

[00:06:51]Let me show you how.

[00:06:54]Sup Louisis Maxinistas.

[00:06:56]First, brew a nice cup of tea. Second, tattoo do not resuscitate across your chest. And third, hit your heroin dick with a hammer until it's yogurt. See if the kids get out of fam.
