- Ever pooped out an engagement ring? - Let's talk about that!

- Good Mythical Morning! - A marriage proposal can be,

and should be, one of the most memorable moments in your life. Sometimes people go

all out, you know? They get a lot of people involved. They get flash mobs. They do

billboards, whatever. And everybody's like, "Oh, that's so sweet! That's so amazing!"

And the person who's being  asked says, "Yes!" It goes so well.

And they put it on video so that people  can watch it forever. I'm sick of those

- videos, 'cause they set the bar too high! - Yeah!

- For all you aspiring gettin' married-ers.  - Yeah, that's a word.

Or for those of us who proposed and it was sub par, and I don't wanna get into the

details, but I don't want your bar to be  so high. So today, we are lowering the bar

by highlighting some  of the most RIDICULOUS--

- Whoa, that was intense! - RIDICULOUS marriage proposals ever...

- caught on tape. - Let's start with the cruelest proposal.

- All right. - That's a tough word to say.

- "Cruelest." I kinda just did it. - Okay, this is Alexi Boikov and

Irena Kolokov. Got any guesses where  they're from? Ha ha ha ha ha. Russia.

Anyway, Alexi hired a director, a stunt  man, a makeup artist, actors, a script

writer, all those people to help him fake  his own near-death, all in the name of love.

He told his girlfriend to show up at a  spot, but when she showed up at that spot,

he had staged a car wreck that he was the  victim of, and he was fighting for his life--

- You're kidding me! - in the back of an ambulance, Link!

Let's watch the vid!  Here she is, she's being escorted up to

- the place. She sees him... - What's coming out?

As you can see, he's... he didn't hire a wardrobe adviser, unless he wanted to

look like a fireman playing on Sesame  Street. I don't know where he got

- those overalls.  - You know your proposal's going well

when sprinklers set off and  you have to wrestle your...

No, those-- those were sparklers. That was part of it. He planned that too, Link.

- Oh. - He got everything right, as you can see.

- And when you have wrestle your fiance... - Look, she's happy! It worked!

She switched on a dime! Oh, you're not  dead? You just wanna marry me? Of course!

- No, actually, she was incredibly upset.  - You think?

She said she was so mad that she wanted to kill him but for reals this time, but then

she did come around. And this is what  Alexi said, he said, "I wanted her to realize

how empty her life would be without me and how life would have no meaning without me."

Oh, so Alexi, you're saying this  was all about you! Ohhhh! Okay!

- Alexi... - Hopefully the marriage isn't all about

- you, Alexi. - I just don't think it's fair to catch

someone so off guard that then you're  asking them one of the most important

questions of their life when they  have no clue what's happening.

- Oh, you don't think this was a good idea? - I think it's a better idea than the

- next one. - (chuckles) Okay, all right.

On Chinese Valentine's Day in 2011--  which is in August, by the way. Take note.

One Pan Kun... One person.  His name was Pan Kun.

- Pan Kun. Got it. That wasn't his full name. - Brought his girlfriend to the city square

in Qingdao, China, for the most  confusing marriage proposal ever.

- Ah, I'm intrigued. - Now, first of all, just to review a

little bit: the cost of an engagement  ring is determined by the three C's:

Cut, clarity, and carats. Of course, the  bigger it is, i.e., the more carats, the

- And the average ring is one carat - Okay, all right.

in size, give or take. But Pan Kun wanted to go all out, so he brought 48 carrots--

- What?! That's massive! - to his elaborate proposal performance.

But I think he was a little confused  about what a "carat" actually meant.

- Okay. - Here's his proposal. There they are:

- 48 carrots! (laughs) Um... - Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Is this a carat... is this a "diamond  carrot" joke or is she just a really big

- fan of carrots?  - I think it's just a lot of confusion.

- She's confused... - They look more like orange grapes,

- first of all. - She thought it was a flash mob, and then

he pops out of one of 'em, and Pan Kun gets down on one knee and proposes.

The ironic thing is, he didn't have  any carats! He had zero carats.

- What is the thing he gave her? - He had no ring at all! He had a

- (crew laughs) - Well that's all you need, when you've

- got those carrots! - Zero carats with an "a-r" and an "a."

- Is that how you spell? Not an "o." - But see, we don't know the intricacies

of their relationship. Maybe carrots are really meaningful to them in some ways.

Maybe big, fat, grape-like carrots with  sunglasses are very meaningful to her.

I'm glad he wore his Abercrombie  shirt for such a special occasionl

But here's the thing: Was he trying  to save money? Because how much--

$14,000! That's how much he  spent on this whole thing!

Oh! He probably could've gotten  an engagement ring with that.

- (crew laughs) - Yeah, Pan Kun, you're...

- Maybe a couple of 'em! - Your resource allocation might need to

- be addressed in the second marriage. - Okay. How about the nerdiest proposal

of all time? This is coming from  Doctor Pappa, who's a YouTuber!

- Big fan. - He is neither a doctor nor a papa.

- Doctor Pappa. - But he is a nerd in a good way, because

he had the brilliant idea to put on a  Futurama character, Bender, you know,

the robot from Futurama. To put on the  Bender mask and ask his girlfriend to

marry him-- her name is Rachel-- in a  very special way. Let's see the video.

- He's singing? - No, he's saying, "00110..." Link--

- Okay. - Now, this goes on for quite some time,

but what he ends up saying in binary code, in case you need a translation, is,

"Rachel, you are awesome. Will you  marry me?" Now, it took Rachel 30 minutes

to decode this message after he posted this video on her Facebook wall.

30 minutes! He could've left "You are awesome" out and saved 15 minutes.

Right. But he wanted her to  know how special she was.

- Okay. - And you know what? She responded

with a resounding, "01111001011 0010101110011," which is "Yes."

I like how you actually did the work.  You were glued to your zero-ones because

- you wanted to get it right.  - It's actually "Yes."
