  • Done make any more of these with stupid filler with the cat and dog thing. A waste of time. I have a beard and a cat and i thought you were actually going someplace with that and i wanted to hear facts.. but you give a stupid still of someone holding the cat to a picture. theres Nothing there, no reaction of the cat to the man and nothing to do with the beard. With fillers like this Improbable TV tanking and being scrapped on the cutting room floor - Probable.

  • I'd say that the canine reaction to the Mona Lisa was more favorable than the feline reaction to the bearded man.

  • am i supposed to be in some kind of drug to understand the video?

  • after he died they should have measured his nails to see if its true that your nails grow out when you die, or if the skin just recedes

  • seriously get a grip, although i enjoy short science snippets, i won't just watch anything. Stupid, don't lose your credibility as a science channel that already re-does other peoples footage and findings by trying to be gently funny.

    I understand Improbable science is meant to be funny, but it's not. A dog looking at the Mona Lisa, oh oh no, that's hilarious. I didn't learn or laugh, shame.

    We don't need more stupidity incorporated into already dumbed down science. Let's make people dumber?

  • It is people who post max character comments like elbeatch, who make youtube a dumber place.

  • what the hell is this about??

  • I watched twice to see if i was missing something. That is 6 minutes 40 seconds of my life I can never get back. Yo owe me 13 minutes 20seconds of decent entertainment,.. and u better make it pay!!

  • What the hell did I just watch?

  • What's the song in the beginning?

  • Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody

  • Improbable TV: videos to make you laugh... and think

  • this is the idea of improbable tv. its improbable science. as in dorky, silly, pointless science that is humorous in its frivolity. not intended to be educational.

    so everyone stop bitching.

  • It's not even science. How is holding a cat up to a photo even related to experimentation of the search for truth? It is inappropriate for a science based channel.

  • one word: ad nauseum

  • haha two actually

  • We've teamed up with Improbable Research to bring you Improbable TV: videos to make you laugh... and think

  • i am unsubscribing, this is super lame.

  • This is terrible...

  • OK I AM NOT TRYING TO BE A JURK BUT THIS IS GETING VERY LAME why dont thay ever talk about anti matter or the string theory or quantum physics and stuff like that it would be much more better then this

  • The New NewScientist channel sucks I am sorry.

  • I was amused. "Nail growth: 30 years of observation" lol

  • you are probably uglier...

  • what boring piece of shit

  • yeah- stick to the science, nerds.

  • awesome.

  • What's the title of that instrumental piece that keeps playing in the video?

  • Its an arrangement of a piece by J.S.Bach called Air on a G-String.

    Hope that helps.

  • That helped. Thanks lots. :)

  • booooring...

  • lol canine reactions to the Mona Lisa.

  • *unsubscribes*

  • What the heck!

    *unsubscribes*

  • *Unsubscribes*

  • unsubscribes

  • *unsubscribes*

  • "We've teamed up with Improbable Research to bring you Improbable TV: videos to make you laugh... and think"

    someone needs to re evaluate what they are doing

    especially the laugh and think part

  • OMG I LOLed so hard and shit my pants, KEEP THIS UP ALL TIME GUYS!!

  • I liked it. It's Dougless Adams-ish.

  • A part of me just became less intelligent.

  • That part of you was always there. This video just helped you find it.

  • *unsubscribes*

  • Ho ho ho! How DROLE!

    -.-

  • *unsubscribes*

  • A similar study to handel pricks pubic hair growth.

  • Lol.

  • if u don't laugh...ur IQ is obviously average. and u should not have subscribed or watched this video.

  • This didn't make me laugh or think...

  • useless information. Why not tell us about the LHC setbacks or something? That dog experiment was obviously set up with a dog treat...

  • not the best one ever

  • I thought it was interesting. The man used whatever scientific skill and literacy at his command and studies his own nails. Sounds more like behavior exhibited by Howard Hughs, and thought "might as well cover it up as a long-term scientific study." Remember that team studying the flow-rate of Catsup and the grant money they received? LOL.. I think we can say that the nail-grower nailed his reserach and the Catsup program slowed down the progress of advancement.

  • It's awful. Boring and totally not funny.

  • sorry but im going to unsubscribe.

  • Please dont make any more

  • this is shite!

  • made me grin a little but it wasn't funny. hmm i want vids about the cosmos and news about the LHC and shit little that. Exuse my language. wasn't there a snow cloud on mars? why not tell us about that if its true?

  • lol 4 outa 5.

  • WTF???

    Scientists think this shit is funny???

    Please say it ain't so.

    Can we please have our regular videos back? IMOHO, This SUCKS. Sorry.

  • even scientists smoke weed :D

  • utterly crap

  • I subscribed to NewScientist for news, not for bad jokes.

  • Very funny!

  • Isn't it pathetic that some science buffs don't have a sense of humor? Come out of the library once in a while. There's a whole other world out there. This was a very funny vid poking fun at researchers. Don't take it personally. If you haven't noticed scientists can be a bit neurotic sometimes. That's what makes us fun!

  • I think that all artists work should get the dog's lick of approval before being released to the public. (No fair painting with bacon fat).

  • curses! now i shan't ever be a sucsessful artist!

  • We've teamed up with Improbable Research to bring you Improbable TV: videos to make you laugh... and think. IT IS A JOKE READ THE FUCKING DESCRIPTION!

  • It doesn't seem like a joke to me.

    Those articles on nail growth are real. You can check with pubmed.

  • Ok maybe you people need to read the words that are associated with these films. These words are "Improbable Research". If you do not understand these 2 words then you should look them up before making such dumb comments. You don't have to like them, just stop being stupid. Kthx.

  • Same here, ive unsubcribed.. what a fking joke.

  • Is this a joke?

  • well i've unsubscribed. goodgame.

  • Well, it was worth a chuckle. I don't think it should've been posted by NewScientist, though.

  • i dont get it can someone explain this to me

  • Pretty damn funny. Those of you who don't get it need to pay more attention in school or at least read a few more books.

  • wow ure so clever

  • ???

  • This is what makes nerds laugh tears.

  • NEW STUDY: Reaction of average YouTuber to NewScientist comedy video. 85% of YT were "nonplussed".

    (And the rest of us had a good laugh, but will preobably get severely thumbsdowned for it ;-))

  • I prefer more interesting science over this.

  • kinda boring

  • It is funny and somehow boring , but still a scientific study ;)

  • I don't get it.

  • rael scienz plox

  • eh..... i dont like these improbable tv things.

  • post some real science! goddamn!

  • damn newscientist posted pritty awesome videos but now... crap... and the part with the dog was supose to be funny? couse i dont get it :/ kinda lamest episodes of all so far :/

  • I guess this proves that comedy is NOT a science.

  • Newscientistvideo has really turned into junk as of late...

  • Seriously, is this a joke episode or what? God that was lame....

  • at least it wasnt as bad as the stupid horse one...

  • mmmmmmmmmmmmm yes i agree

  • are they joking???

  • who knows?
