The Big Contraption - did it work? - Bang Goes the Theory - BBC One

[TGODANDY]

AND A ROBUHAWRM,

[supersaiyanjow]

way better than mythbusters

[celticonduct7]

Mythbusters are gods compared to these people.

[startrekalien]

sucks when the people in the show have fun but not the viewers.

[G3org3Master]

"let down" (by the bunny. ICWUTUDIDTHAR

[cuntflapsVEVO]

1:15 "there goes the ball cock? it's gonna hit the next target.... YESSSS"

is that strange only to me?

[HartAHart]

There are way easier ways to make a bong.

[Zannypants666]

That awkward moment when your contraption fails not even after 30 seconds of starting it.

[BorntoskateJr]

I think that the explosion and the thing about to hit the bang goes the theory thing where 2 different clips cuz if you replay it a bunch of time the sound of the explosion happens before it even explodes and right before the explosion happens there is the sign then the next frame there's no sign at all. they also changed the clip when the ball thing fired cuz you can see them out of the chair and cage.

[LoriIsEnglish]

what is the ball doing at 2:25-2:33 !!!

[xxjudasxxx]

did she said Bull Cock?

[firstparza]

it's cool!

[fudgnugget]

What was the floating thing at the end?

[MrPythonProgrammer]

why is the ball floating at the end of the video?



[fleminjnr]

@MrPythonProgrammer its a rocket on a string

[vanegastdm]

still live

[astoma199]

awesome as fuck!

[tnt767]

I read this as the big contraception...

[my360shadow]

she said "there goes the bull cock">lol

[Ziggamafu]

What a waste of time and resources. Except maybe the explosion. Nerds can do so much better.

[vexviper]

That was EPIC!!!

[wilsonics1st]

men... you're destroying nature....^^

[Lucifer9387]

Haha, she said cock

[parra365]

/watch?v=9sB03-OYKpg

[Crayola6394]

FAKE !! No really this is just a mock rube goldberg machine only about two of the things looked like they actually worked without manual intervention. The flames on the tube never got high enough either... The rocket bomb at the end was just a rocket someone set of a charge when it reached the other side. You can still see the rocket 100 % intact bobbing around at the end. They do the same thing on Cartoon Networks show Destroy Build Destroy.

[JollSSteR]

Hhaa, this was awesome

[zinger52]

so where is the toilet with the ATR I'm disappointed on your bike!

[docmurdoc69]

this was actually kinda lame, except for the explosion at the end.

[theooriginal]

@docmurdoc69 agreed. this was very.....exciting. NOT!

cept for the explosion i guess....

[ZhangM17]

nice cover at 0:40 :)

[SethsPhoenix]

what the fuck? Wathced the playlist about halfway through, and Now youtube is telling me the following clips aren´t avaible in my country. Damn you youtube!

[felic70]

Jem constantly seems to be shocking or burning himself

[hd92122]

for something f or fun, search OK GO

[mandolinroad]

Here's an entertaining show about science and you guys are arguing about a fucking war?! And one that took place 70 years ago at that. I thought science and education was supposed to make people less hostile to one another. Jesus christ, let it go.

[xxjiggalo]

the guy with glasses is pissed that he cant finish his sentence 2:40

[Jordanrichie100]

@xxjiggalo He is a fuckin nerd loser...he wants that pussy so bad!

[YoDerik123]

@xxjiggalo XDDDD i am laughing my fucking ass off sooo hard right now xDDDD

[radd973]

this is the nerdiest thing i've ever seen

[derman077]

So it failed and they had to do it manually?

[pellabandgeek]

i have a feeling this isn't live anymore...

[halowraith1]

@rolanda69 now i understand how selfish americans are. taking all the credit for themselves.

[samgar2]

@rolanda69

The British defeated the nazi's on more occasions and on more fronts than the Americans. In fact, the British were a far more decisive factor in the defeat of hitler than the USA. (Battle of Britain with failure of operation sealion, north africa campaign, conquering of Italy. The Americans were always fighting side by side with British and fought under British aerial support which for instance saved your asses during the Ardennes offensive) So show some respect!

[DEBpoppop]

@samgar2 of course they were fighting under british was ww2 in america?

[samgar2]

Now I understand how the British managed to defeat the nazi's.

[540135]

@samgar2 I believe the americans had to save the british in both wars.

[samgar2]

@540135

the British never needed to be saved. the Americans only played a lead role in the 2nd world war anyway. they did play a role in the first, but the lead role was for the british, french and germans on the west front.

[wubs23]

can somebody explain me why he doesnt die @ 250,000 V, but you can die from the 230 V in your house?

I know it has something to do with Ampére, so:

1. What is V

2. What is A

3. what makes you go dead :P

[kevinstuartfr0st]

@wubs23 tazers are high volts but mili amp, your house is 240v (uk) lights should be on 5 or 6 amp,you cooker supply will be over 30 amps, if the electric flows over you skin it isnt to bad might get butn on entry point or exit point,iv got a video of me removing tatoos with mini tesler coil (plasma globe with globe removed) they say look at volts and amps like water the volt is the amount and the amp is how fast

watch?v=A1i4ZN_P4WA

[C0mm3n]

@wubs23 ...Higher the Amps....the more you die lol...

It's not the voltage that kills you, it's all down to the AMPS!!

A = Ampage

V = Voltage

Simplez!

[fightrox4]

and i thought i was the only one playing with chain reactions

[rrcaires]

What was the weird missile cannon ball at the end?

[Hatchwork]

THAT WAS SOO COOL

[camofilms]

My eyes never left the screen, that was awsome

[The949080]

LMFAO!! They sure have a good imagination. . .

[blendder35]

I hope jigsaw is taking notes on this

[TheDarkSagan]

SICKKKKKKKK!!!!!

[Stastify]

"There goes the cock!"

lol

[profilescythe]

This is the second saddest thing I have ever seen.

[dubmywub]

i must say i did enjoy the end.

[Chaiotix]

It's the British Mythbusters!!

[jacksawild]

@Chaiotix Except these people are educated.

[SuckXmyXchickeN]

1:28 - 1:43 That contraption is awesome, would be a great addition to a home entertainment system.

[eljj]

science!!!

[lowtone10]

its wallace and gromit in real life, using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, or a bike to blow up a banner

[lowtone10]

lighting gas with your fingers looks like one of the coolest (and painful) experiences!

[jazzx251]

@lowtone10

He drew the short straw - he gets electrocuted with 250000V and then immediately burned.

[tysonj96]

awsome - best part? The BIG BANG! lol crap theory tho

[kloosterboe2]

lol it was a good idea, but what was the piont. lol. i like this series.

[xdir]

The point is getting lil kids to start looking at science in their daily life instead of guys in white coats in some remote lab :p

[jazzx251]

@xdir

I'm not sure this is a good idea .... if kids learn to do this kind of crap, there'll be chaos!

[artuno1207]

@jazzx251 It will be cool, fun chaos! WITH SCIENCE!

[Kulawendin]

The Big Contraption = The Big FAIL!

[kyringe]

That a big ass Rubes goldberg.

[TheOnlyTiminator]

hahah i did not expect that ending

[BenderRodrigez]

2:27, wtf is that sound???

[majesticglaze]

Lmao I think i heard wahahahahoe xD

[bloobedybloo]

thats someone having a heart attack off camera

[Chrismonchan]

@BenderRodrigez I think it was a guy covering his mouth and shouting in awe.

[KevinAZheng]

@BenderRodrigez im guessing a sneeze or a sound of amusement lol

[BlackvvvFist]

@BenderRodrigez Nerdgasm

[speedster1101]

@BenderRodrigez you can hear it best at 2:25

[SurviveJuturna6]

@BenderRodrigez

Was the sound of someone getting their face burned off!

[huwr24]

@BenderRodrigez I can't stop laughing :')

[supscreem]

@BenderRodrigez its like devils orgasm hahahahah lmfao

[minigician]

@BenderRodrigez slow motion obviously u dumb cunts!

[DejaVu8]

@BenderRodrigez he finally busted lol it was that good

[LessiemTaralom]

wtf was all that shit????????

[andydude8]

or you could press the button yourself..

[Ward117MG]

1:19

Oh Liz...

:P I Would

[320iguy]

THAT WAS F*CKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[PeaceFulPeopleYT]

Its a man from behind that stats the big ball from falling...

[kaioshinex2]

1:14

[aawsome69]

there goes my big black ball

[JohnMuise]

This is Gay...there were balls touching.

[untikati]

1:15 " there goes the ball cock"

hahahah

[TheWapo2009]

listen to the womens luagh at 2 : 39

[MHE602]

WATS Up with the noise the person make at 2:27

[cuzzndav]

lol

[photonsoup]

HARUH ECH

[psypsynos]

damn that robotic hand is something else

[sarah1oszter]

Wow this is so science lol love it!

[SoR39TRIGGER]

as pointless as that was to ignite the fuse....IT WAS FUN TO WATCH

[ninds7]

what is with u ppl >=O

it was just for fun

[Jatmundar]

They successfully made it incredibly complicated to simply blow up a sign. Well done!

[nicolasforand]

i stopped watching at rabbit cuz it failed there

[calito0010]

WTF a mouse trap LOL

[GhostofRazors]

so what theory did they 'bang'?

[ronnywijaya]

this whole set up is useless..

[Saberdemon101]

this looks like one of those plans to catch the ghost in scooby doo ^-^ lol

[DuellyO]

but with explosives :)

[selfdefenseorlando]

The cannon ball was on a wire why?

[roydsrocks]

proly to avoid hitting all those aircraft behind the target..

[TheWalkerjonas]

seriuosly ?

[nicolasforand]

good question sir

[dazboMMAstar]

how many poor kids could off feed there selfs.and buy meds to help them live with the money you spent on that,what are we learning here.

[BigBlueMonk3y]

Actually, you can do this with a few ,less expensive stuff. All together they most likely spent $5000 maybe a bit more.

[Lionmonkey4real]

Then again, this seems the only way to get people interested in science.

[arnisss]

how many poor kids you could feed if you sell your car , or mortgade and all unnecceserry stuff... if they have money thats their problem how to spend it, so dont be a dickhead and dont tell them what to do, you aint doing anything for those kids either so stfu

[sacr3]

Alright, go sell your car and give the money to them. Your home, why not that? The bit of spare change you get that you spend on junk food, or movies, give it to the kids. C'mon now, you want these people to feel bad about spending their money, well why not you too.

[keggerous]

that was pretty sweet

[chinowong22]

what a waste of money in arranging all of that...

[Szkiewicz69]

Its called a "Rube Goldberg" -_-... |\|o08z

[DanFrederiksen]

yeah it was rather pointless :)

[dianamookie]

crap

[Jackthemeat]

I like Peter Griffins Breakfast machine a lot better

[kowboykenny]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[MichaelBallack91]

You obviously didn't get the reference in that episode.

it's the exact same music, and kind've the same machine as in Pee Wee's Big Adventure...you should watch the beginning of that movie, and you'll understand.

[00sco200]

what a waste of the top gear studio :(

[yosinz]

It woulda been funny if that thing blew up inside or if it didn;t go straight lol :D

[BiohazardMonkey30045]

lol think if it had went outside then it turned around and went back inside. :P

[moneymaster93]

we need this in iraq

[goodluckpeace44]

man that was like a warship turret gun firing

[jonascheah]

Wat a fucking waste of money and effort to create something totally meaningless -_-

[zitroab]

this is gay. lame

[cameron9286]

that was horrible.

not watchin that shit anymore

[bigntasty]

MPC1000 at 1:24

[muiere2]

ya FAIL! and wTf is the ball flying at the end??????????

[SDKsa1]

guys after the booooom thingy you can see the ball floating in mid air wtf is that?

[andrewsnotsxe]

it was suspended on a string so that it would fly straight to the target, then it was just dangling on the string

[ymanganelli]

wow thats so nice:)

[Brianwhittaker23]

Epic Fail

[georsonofzoltan]

thats stupid....

[natebomber777]

cannonball..

hmmm..

maybe out date the RPG?

lol! xD

[RyuDarragh]

Also the usual BBC nitwittery (not the guys making the show, but the top echelon who make agreements amongst themselves so we get bollocks like "This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions." shoved in our faces when half the videos work and half spout that manure at us).

[mogoliapowah]

waste of time and money

[Bobardier3]

absolutely right

[xerxesq7]

FAILURE

[ClumpofPlinths]

This show isn't aimed at adults (unless it's the kid in all of us) Children love sparks and mess and blowing stuff up.. the future engineers, scientists and geniuses of tomorrow are out there right now having fun doing pointless, banal, and vacuous things.. and no amount of Murdoch inspired anti-BBC clap-trap will change that

[itisme400]

what an epic waste of time

[tomFEEDER]

wow that was really good brilliant love stuff like this :)

[GAZB92]

This as an interesting idea. I am sure it will be shown in science classrooms and therefore get children interested in science (which needs to happen.) In the grand scheme of things I'm sure it wouldn't be very expensive either.

[robinofgray]

I know - in the bloodiest week for the British armed forces since the Falklands, let's use a missile as a toy, in order to demonstrate the scientific principle of...nothing! Crude, profligate and entirely divorced from the realities outside the BBC bubble, this is the best advert yet for abolishing the license fee. Congratulations, you vacuous morons.

[jacksparrow322]

2:26 his voice lol but persides that was realy cool!

[superspeed123]

Embarassing piss poor Mythbusters wanna be's.

Sorry just was'nt entertaining,interesting or remotely engaging...

[The4thReich]

a fine example of our financial system

[stuart4010]

Let down by a giant inflatable white rabbit.

How ironic.

[TomSaunders89]

How?

[doctorwhodarleck]

what was all that about?

We need

[kingpoubar]

How the fuck does this prove anything!? This looks like something CBBC would green light, and even then barely.

[Reanixy]

Err no you won't :(

[doctorwhomadgal]

fun, but rather pointless :P I like it

[Royst]

Well...im just glad my hard earned cash is going to my t.v licence so a bunch of douchebag's can play around on failed pointless mouse trap game..the bbc are in my opinion taking the p***!

[TWBrit]

F A I L lol

[deadonarrival909]

listen to his voice at 2:26

[1juno1]

They have some cool equipment but they did a shit job. The MythBusters would do it much better.

[thelyingmouth]

Pop science. Learned nothing from it. Pointless!

[robinofgray]

It's hard to think of a more pointless, banal and idiotic waste of money, not to mention total dearth of presenting talent, than that displayed above. The only originality here is in the particularly vain, self-regarding hubris. "Curves and arabesques flourishing round a centre of complete emptiness." V. Woolf

[DanielBoa]

The end was cool

[maxdamagus]

interestink

[noizetoyze]

Wow ! That was a boring let down....and those presenters are getting on my nerves already.

More BBC s***e in the making !!

[WillP999]

Well that was crap.

[tobleroneuk]

LOL at the fail, shame on that one, otherwise it looked pretty cool

[ALI2IZZ]

Special thanks to:

Tom and Jerry.

[ddrmegamixer]

I very much look forward to not watching that.

[mackey2k7]

ok so the rabbit did nt work not every thing goes 2 plan it was still go evan though it did not start so well

[FresnoTimeLord]

Awesome!
