" We had a lot of explosions on the show, but this one is the most requested We're poppin a zit."

" What do we get going here?"

" He's all cute up and ready to go."

" We got 1 try at this though."

" Alright."

" In the chair is Tim. He answered an ad that said pimple needed. Needless to say, we hired him on the spot."

" I am set."

" Good, I can see it for myself."

" Oh god."

" This is the--"

" totally disgusting."

" Most disgusting thing I've ever done."

" Yeah."

" Okay, here we go."

" Matt goes in, but he's clearly not cut-out for the job."

" That was something, but then it stopped. [unk] do this?"

" Come on in."

" [unk]"

" Come on in."

" So we bring in an expert."

" I am the make-up artist, hair stylist, and wardrobe specialist, and I'm about to get rid of this lovely monster on your face. Alright."

" Alright. Let's see it."

" Let's do it now."

" In this line of work, I definitely had to do this quite a few times."

" Go slow on it. 'cause it will pop."

" [unk]"

" It's a little volcanic explosion."

" Yeah. Nice. Nice."

" That's [unk]."

" A pimple or a zit is a small inflammation resulting from a clogged or infected pore. At a thousand frames per second, it looks like a volcanic eruption."

" Oh!"

" Let's see that again!"

" Back that up."

" Oh, that's fast."

" You might have the most downloaded pimple ever."

" Look at that."

" Oh, motion blur."

" I didn't get any [unk]."

" Nope."

" No."

" All clear."

" Oh, though despite the speed of it, it looks like could have."

" That's under a lot of pressure then. It is, I mean, it shoots out that like that right after it releases."

" Absolutely. You've got all these, you know, each hair follicle is producing sebum with your sebaceous gland."

" Okay."

" And that stuff gets stuck in the follicle, and then bacteria gets involved, they gonna take over, and then it all gets stuck under the surface and builds up. And so it does literally build up under pressure."

" So what is the white stuff? When the white stuff comes out, it's like pus."

" It's pus."

" Alright."

" But Yeah. It's a mixture of, you know, bacteria that's been killed by white blood cells. "

" Wait."

" Slowly, slowly."

" Where did it go is the question, because it went far."

" Not toward me."

" I don't think it got on my face."

" Well, it's somewhere on the forehead."

" Somewhere out for"

" I don't see it on me gladly. And don't taste anything different so"

" Disgusting!"
