  • interesting choice of music...

  • Why does everyone think this is so bad? It was their machine, and it had really good ideas. I bet nobody who disliked this video would ever have thought of using the aluminum foil to conduct electricity and start up the electric car. As for popping the balloon, that was not a bad idea. It's not even close to anything you idiots who disliked this could come up with. There are better ideas than popping a balloon, but popping the balloon wasn't a bad idea.

  • 0:20 what a horrible foot

  • i find this hard to masturbate to

  • 1:09 obviously.

  • it was tremend-ASS

  • Jeeez, check out all the bitches moaning about how bad this was. Let's see your efforts you pricks!

  • WTF

  • so this spans your whole house? wow

  • i like it but the explanation is longer than the rube goldberg

  • you edited it. you can't do that in a Rube. it never happened. and it was stupid anyway.

  • @xyzpdqism yeah i tend to stay away from editing two or more clips into a Rube Goldberg... but i could see the second camera filming at the same time. Better to do a split screen with the two clips playing back to back...

  • I love the unnessecarily dramatic background music

  • Skip to 1:08 to pass the "explanation"

  • this sucked because the entire machine was a straight line to nothing. you could've at least gotten a bit more creative and complicated with the dominoes or made a better track for the golf ball to roll on. Elliot and James........you two owe me 2mins7secs of my life back!!! -__-

  • it wasnt that long but still cool! please check out my rube g's

  • @TheSprice17 yeah you have great ones... by the way, ive been subscribed for a while now.

  • cool! it pops a balloon!

  • @pokefandylan ese es el objetivo dohhh, estas máquinas se utilizan para realizar un proposito muy simple como ponchar un globo usando un granequipo para lagrarlo

  • You guys are really mean. These things take freaking FOREVER to set up. If you think you can do better, then by God, make a video of it. Popping a balloon is a task I do every day.

  • Oh shit; what is it? This video!

  • the point of a rube goldberg machine is to do some thing every day in the most elaborate way possible like butter toast using only parts from a 747 I did not get the point of this one.

  • I foresee that this will be the stupidest video ever. Well look at that... I was right.

  • sow cool

  • Absolute shit, theres 2 minutes I'll never get back, you don't end with popping a balloon! It has to be an ordinary task, you were just lazy to think of a conclusion to your Rube Shitberg machine.

  • the bear feet squad..

  • this is how the english put it

    SHIT

  • Ya Right There Mate!

    ABSOLUTELY SHIT

  • lamest rube goldberg on youtube, congrats!

  • nice one.

  • hell of a way to pop a balloon lol nice video

  • kool

  • Awesome :-)

  • wats the song

  • O Fortuna of Carmina Burana

  • wonder what the neighbors though lol, forget what they think, i thought it was great

  • Yea id make one that makes waffles like noturpizza said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!111!!!­!!

  • yo you guys should make that ball do some shit man. come on.

  • make it cook wafles

  • the sopng is from carl orff

  • its called o fortuna

  • all this to pop a balloon....wow,you must have no more friends than the guy who made the master chief costume out of cardboard...

  • @turf7227 hey, my cousin made a Master Chief costume out of cardboard O_o

  • what song is that?

  • its the most famous movement in his (orff's) cantata "carmina burana"..great piece!

  • whats the name of the song

  • what song did you use

  • LOL! If I were going to make a Rube Goldberg Machine, I would have it do something much more important, like feed my dog 1/2 of a biscuit... LOL! - Rich T

  • that sucked ass

  • you skipped scenes from messups or what?

  • actually, the batteries in the camera filming the first part ran out, and with not enough replacements, we had to resort to using the other camera, which clearly wasn't as good a quality, but got the job done none the less

    quiz

    sad

    into the mind (I don't know if this is correct, I have no sound I just copied from the end titles ^^)

  • at 1:07 it says it all.

  • it's called O'Fortuna. it's by a composer named Orff.

  • AGREE

  • Does anybody know the name of the song at the beginning?

  • people screaming by the boston pops

  • lmfao....did it need the slo mo at the end!!

  • this sucked......it popped a balloon? wtf? and the car was obviously pushed along for the last stretch

  • FAIL!

    At 1:36 the truck actually hits in to the brown board about 20cm away from the white board. On the next next scene where you obviously stopped the camera and pushed the car along to help it on it's journey it hits into the brown board much further up than where it originally hit.

    I agree with past comment, these are suppose to do something trivial/useful. Popping a baloon?

  • wat was suppose to happen at the end

  • finally, someone takes the guess work out of popping balloons. i'm having some trouble believing the rad car made it in one shot. i would have just started it over rather than the crappy angle switch.

  • buy some shoes, bloody hippies

  • when you said here goes nothing you were right

    that sucked like kool idea and waste of a couple hours but a seriously gay ending and i think that it was pretty obvious the truck didnt make it

  • if that car runs on batteries or is wound-up, then this is not a rube goldberg machine.

  • watch: cooool!!! japanese inventions

  • it looks like at around 1:36 you stop the video, probably cuz the car couldnt make it

  • haha, seems like it

  • that was nice!!!

  • that was aweful.. it's supposed to complete a trivial task or do something cool at the end. popping a balloon is stupid

  • hey watz the name of that song??

  • "O Fortuna", from Carmina Burana, by Carl Orf

  • Its called 'O fortuna'

  • whats this designed to DO...?

    take some crack out of a balloon?

    lol...

  • I don't know understand why all these amateur filmers have to dose up on 3 grams of coke before filming so that the camera shakes around more than a huge bitch's saggy titties

  • HAHAHA!

  • that was totally anti-climactic

  • that sucked

  • Rube Goldberg Machine: complex devices that perform simple tasks in indirect, convoluted ways.

  • That sounds like a Wikipedia quote

  • it is.

  • You could have extended it to do something else.....watching you use dozens of objects from around your house just pop a balloon really wasn't worth the build-up or two minutes of my time....In fact, I'm wasting my time sitting here typing this message, so.....Goodbye.

  • Here's the irony... By creating 2 minutes of build-up just to pop a balloon, they have in effect captured Reuben's entire idea of the machine. Learn what a Rube Goldberg machine is before you open your mouth, would be my advice to you.

  • Ah, yes. I had forgotten the purpose of his original ideas. I hereby retract my statement. Although, you must admit, they could have caused it to end with something slightly more useful. Even though it is very simple, I would not call popping a balloon a "simple task," as would be pouring a beverage.

  • really creative, accoplished nothing, but cool.

  • haha.. o fortuna fun song to sing xDD

  • Why would you want to pop a balloon???? Make it do something useful!

  • nice work.

  • hmmm

  • WHATS THE POINT?!?!?!

  • gah u gotta make em so it actualy duz something... like pour a drink or craack an egg thats rota concept not pop a little balloon

  • Popping a balloon is a simple task... Oh, and learn to spell.

  • its a simple task but why would you WANT to pop a baloon?

  • It doesn't matter, provided it's still doing a simple task.

  • why does someone have to say "your a faggot"? first of all, he uses "your" wrong. It should be "you're a faggot". retard.

  • and y r u replieng to me about this?

  • what's second of all? i think you forgot.

  • well, i guess second would be that someone has to call somebody a 'faggot' on every video. it's just old. i guess that's the main summary of point #2. point #3 would be that the guy is a douche bag. although, that's an overused term as well. but a little more descriptive than 'faggot'.

  • lol like how you take a few steps back from the ballon before it pops no offense but it was kinda funny

  • i wish you hadnt changed camera angles...but other than that i thought it was neat

  • your a faggot

  • shouldnt you people be at work or something. waaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on your hands

  • Really really really learn to use a camera before you post another video.

    Better yet, don't bother.

  • Lamest thing ever. I want my 2 minutes back

  • cool song

  • What song is this?

  • it way cool but make the effect better instead of just poping a ballon

  • weak

  • next time have a dildo on the front of the little truck and have it drive up your ass

  • up yours.

  • wow that was absolute crap. congrats you popped a balloon. you could have saved yourselves a couple of hours by just using a thumbtack.

  • Nice one, but fast. What's the name of the background song?

  • Carmina Burana by Mozart

  • By Mozart? No lol.  Carl Orff did Carmina Burana.

  • Sorry but it was shit and boring. -.- I like these with meaning to them, like to fill up a glass with drink or something .. but to pop a balloon? wth? 1/10

  • Oh my (sniffle) it makes me proud to be Australian - you even utilised Sulo bins.

  • genious.

  • all it did was pop a baloon?!?! lol, it was still awesome ny wayz

  • Don't waste good music

  • Yeay to the video.

    BOOO to all the definition police that have commented. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Do you feel better about your own lives when you correct others? Is being pedantically correct more important to you than being enjoyable to talk to? Perhaps more people would like you if you loosened your tie a little bit.

  • my name is elliott too.

  • "excess of lack of what to do" =P

    we use to say something similar to this

    in portuguese - trying to be funny.. LOL

    sorry... seams pure wast of time

  • It's a good effort and nice idea, but I think that the machine should accomplish something simple to be called Rube Goldberg machine (as stated by many before) and that you should practice the camera movement somewhat (it's a bit shaky and don't always follow the action, especially in the end with the baloon)

  • It is interesting, but a rube goldburg cant really technically involve electronic components and must accomplish a task, i.e. pouring milk, transferring a quarter into 25 pennies, etc. This is, of course, a 'by the book' answer. Great shot though!

  • I'm sorry, my definition was a little off. It obviously CAN include electronics. I take back what I said. Great job!

  • where does it say that the machines can't use electronic components? as far as I know, it's "anything goes" as long as it performs a simple task in a complicated way. For spectators will a mechanical solution be more fun to watch though.

  • sorrry for the double post but besides that well done!

  • that sorta seems pointless just because a rube goldberg machine is meant to do a simple but useful task such as turning a light switch on and off, etc

  • lol well done!

  • nice music choce it sorta fits with the truck part!

  • Lame

  • wow.. i think itd be easier to just jump on it.. but that none the less was pimpin :P

  • good but you could do something more ... usefull

  • lol...cool!juz to pop a balloon!

  • I love the bad responses, its kind of a big sign saying 'I DON'T KNOW WHAT A RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE IS'

  • Not bad, wish people weren't so immature with their responses. The point is the energy transfers, look up rube goldberg.

  • Awesome!

  • what is that intro song,

    and what is the second song?

  • Both are the same song, "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" Suite.

  • I believe this was one peice of music - the movement O Fortuna from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana. Very common in modern pop culture - like the Omen movies. I think Trans Siberian Orch. did a version.

    The original Poem is latin, from the 13th century - set to music in the 1930's.

  • Yes indeed it was.

  • wow.. waaaaaaaay to much free time. GET A FUCKIN JOB!

  • ooooooooooooooooookay

  • too much extra filming

  • ok...? it didn't even do all the shit it was supposed to.

    Phail.

  • It is not..It accomplice with 10 people to make the car bam to the balloon.WOW my 3 years old niece can do that in jus 5 sec @@..

  • I hate it when people butcher O Fortuna, like those stupid gatorade commercials.

  • and that accomplished what exactly?

  • it accomplished being a rube goldberg device XD

  • does it always have to be O Fortuna?

  • the car cant even go all the way i mean come on you can see the hand the the car down again man...

  • not at all impressed

  • Music is from the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. The piece is called "Fortuna".

  • anyone remember the name of the song? i forgot and would like to know.

  • O Fortuna - Carl Orff (From Carmina Burana)

  • At 1:36 the camera switches from one angle to another. I believe that is exactly where you had the problem and couldn't get the car to go all the way. Instead you made it look like it was flawless. Good try though.

  • who cares?!

  • why

  • that film quality wasnt that good, but the bit about the race car.. i thought that was really cool =]

  • why carry the fukin ball at the end in teh first place, ura dumass

  • worst filming ever!

  • that´s all?

  • cool machine!

  • FYI... a rube goldberg device is defined as:

    Of, relating to, or being a contrivance that brings about by complicated means what apparently could have been accomplished simply

    popping a balloon doesnt really fit the idea...

  • but it does. one could easily pop a balloon with a pin.

  • i can pop a balloon just by squeezing it... though they could have made it a big bigger... they did call it tremendous, and i've seen some truly tremendous rube goldberg machines...

  • get a utensil and pop it.....lawl >=) dummy

  • Yah the edit made it gay. I just changed my ur stars to one.

  • what is that song in the backgrond?

  • sounds like Dies Irae.

  • That was gay.

  • i thought it was a fine machine.....but as nickshark points out, theres an edit, and liquidmex affirms witha big ass fail.

  • God, people! This IS a Rube Goldberg machine, it exacts its definition! Popping a balloon is a simple task, isn't it? And so what if most of the motion was in a straight line? The construction was still deliberately over-exaggerated. These people don't know what they're talking about. 5/5*.

  • Okay, a Rube goldburg machine is to have the most complicated way to do something simple. His was a perfect example. So anyone saying that was stupid, go try making something better than that.

  • FAIL!! theres an edit good game no re

  • I like how there was a slight edit in there once the little car started moving............

  • This was poor, not tremendous, and looked like crap.

  • Its suppose to only do something like pop a balloon! A rube goldberg is something that is supposed to complete a simple task! popping a balloon is a simple task! IDIOTS!

  • i don't think that's what they're getting at. at least, that's not my gripe. a goldberg is supposed to complete a simple task by complex, unneccesary roundabout ways, this was pretty linear. a ball fell down, and kept rolling until it hit a car, that also kept the same path, then popped a balloon. it's a nice start, but it's not something to impress. you can do a more impressive job with dominoes. keep working at it.

  • yay! I can pop a baloon! Mommy look at me!!!!

  • ...really? That was it? ... o.O
