I had got my stepdad to stop after anguished cries. that was in the November.my mom just ignores them, proving (to me) sometimes "ignoring the dog" fixes nothing. Like when the black one "begs". we'll sit on the couch and snack/eat and she'll sit, giving us a stare down warbling, grumbling crying and shaking. she gets nothing but still hopes that "maybe if i quiver enough and cry I'll get something!". it would even escalate to some strange dance that looks like she wants to do cartwheeles, or rear up and swing her head and make these "ewooowahhhhhhhhhhheruooooooooooo" sounds

If they are 12-14, then given their size, they could well be around till they are about 16 or older, given proper care.
Being old is not a reason not to look after dogs! Have your parents even thought about the implications of that?
Try saying to them : "OK, so when you are old, you don't want ME to buy you anything or make sure you get your medication?!"
Ignoring really does usually work for begging, so I am wondering if Licorice is on the lookout for accidental crumbs or spills: in your video I'm pretty sure that is what he's looking for! Or could it be that someone in your family secretly treats when nobody is looking? That's not uncommon...
no they don't get secrete treats. it is crumb obecessment. if my mom is tired and eats on the couch sometimes it is like Licorice is right in her face whining.
I don't know if Nina will go for a toy, we had her for a long time, she was given to us by other persons, who got her from someone else. she was never "right". she had no play drive. and never liked going outside for walks or adventures.
