Group tries weird painting challenge from @behrpaint

A group of five creators collaborates with the paint brand Behr to test whether unconventional items can be used as paint rollers. Each creator chooses a different object—cattails, a pool noodle, a neck pillow, a yoga mat, and a feather boa—and attempts to apply green paint to a wall. The video documents their humorous and messy attempts, their commentary on the process, and their final, often sarcastic, ratings of the results.

Transcript excerpt

Might be the worst thing I've ever done in my entire life. We teamed up with Better to test random items to see if they'll roll paint. Let's paint, ladies. I think they're called corn dogs, cattails. I am so strong, it's crazy. That's not bad. This is green paint, and if I do four of these, it could look like a four leaf clover because who doesn't want good luck? No one wants just a flat wall anymore. We want texture. You see lime wash. Well, this is a hack. That actually came out pretty cool. This might be the worst thing I've ever done in my entire life. Do I feel like it's a little reckless? Yes? No. Oh, wait. She's a dripper. If you guys have kids, this would be a great activity. I just know there's no world that the boa is gonna get anywhere as good coverage as this. What time do you gotta slap it on there? Out of a 10, a solid seven. This is a negative 10 out of 10. Sometimes you get a little bit of a pink feather in there. The contractor special, you paint right over it, and like it's not even there. A 6.75 out of 10. Do not try. We got texture, dimension, durability. This paint will be here forever. Four out of four clovers. Generations will see this paint. Nine out of 10.
