Wow. I had a huge grin on my face watching that, and there was a moment near the end that got me a little worried for a second.

 

How to trump Mousetrap

 

Awesome and incredible!

 

I’m sure you’ve experienced this too, in a multitude of arenas: you’re observing something that’s outside of your wheelhouse, but nonetheless, you think to yourself, “Geez, I could have done that...easily.”

When I was watching this, I thought, “Geez, there is no freakin’ way I could EVER dream this one up...”

 

Who packed up all the mess ?
Great imagination.

 

And I was also thinking that I have a similar amount of junk lying around to use a building material, so there's no excuse for my lack of creativity.

 

I was laughing so much I used 4 tissues to get the tears out of my eyes!

Completely brilliant.

 

Now that was cool! Wonder how many takes it took! Thats some kind of patience right there!

 

Wow. Just showed it to my 5 yr old. Bad idea. Now she wants me to do one!
That really is quite something.

 

Thanks for posting. I thought this was a thread about over used superlatives regarding watches

 

Not to get too thread-drifty here, but...

This always amused me. You go shopping for a Rolex, and the sales guy says, “Look: we can offer you two models - one is precise; the other is a Superlative Chronometer. Greta, the lunch lady downstairs, checks the first one against her desk clock. If it’s close, we put it out. The second one, we actually certify the accuracy. Which one can I get for you?”

 

I was impressed by the guys guys ability to record the whole thing.

 

Awesome is appropriate here. I was convinced it was recorded with a drone until the last frame.

 

Classic Rube Goldberg machine. He used to do a comic that would show a complicated procedure to do a simple task (he died in 1970). People still use the expression 'a Rube Goldberg machine' to criticize an overly complicated procedure.

Looks like they run summer camps for kids.

The X-File Episode "the Goldberg Variation", one of my favorites.

Great video to start the day.

 

The word I think is over-used nowadays is "amazing".

 

Thanks for posting this nice video!

A bit more arty:
Der Lauf der Dinge (The Way Things Go, 1987) from the Swiss artist duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss.

 

Heath Robinson if you’re British and of a certain age.
