[Bouncewow1]

Very cool. Thanks for the vid

[ferchogtr24]

hangover lol

[arobogirly]

Love the video BUT..I think you talk way to fast..You lose me on the last twist before you cut the ballon to make arms...I have gone throught about 5 balloons so far..What am I doing wrong??

[HappyCabbie]

@arobogirly I would need to see the balloon before I know where to help

[aleqmeyer]

LOVE IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[HappyCabbie]

@aleqmeyer awesome. I also have some cool seasonal balloons like a witch, a pumpkin, and a Jack Skellington. And I have a Grinch for Christmas time.

[neyssa3009]

cool



[silvaninka]

man, you an awesome!!!

[milires6]

muy buen monkey quisiera llenar una fiesta de algunos de esos estan de lujo gracias lo intentare proximamente

[ZanderBander01]

Do you know an Australian location

[HappyCabbie]

@ZanderBander01 call your local Australian art stores

[ZanderBander01]

Where do you buy sharpie paint pens

[HappyCabbie]

@ZanderBander01 Any art supply store will sell them. Michaels for example is a chain that sells them but only in a 5 pack. If you go to a local art store you will find the pens sold individually.

FYI Elmers (as in Elmer's Glue) also makes paint pens but theirs are too runny to use on balloons. Stick with the Sharpie.

[ZanderBander01]

Where do you buy sharpie paint pens from

[milliechadwick98]

Thanks so much for all the video tutorials! I used them to make loads of balloon animals for my little brothers party, they loved them!!

[HappyCabbie]

@milliechadwick98 glad I could help

[TheRasheim]

Your voice is amazing only if I had you voice when I'm dressed as a clown my job would be so much easyer!

[HappyCabbie]

@TheRasheim I wish I had enough talent to be a clown. By the way you should upload a profile picture some time. If you need help on doing that I actually have a tutorial on my channel

[TheRasheim]

@HappyCabbie Where do you live maby I can teach you and hire you

[HappyCabbie]

@TheRasheim I live in Mesa, AZ.

[TheRasheim]

@TheRasheim Well I live in Philadelphia P.A But can recomend you to a couple people if you would like.

[HappyCabbie]

@TheRasheim I actually know a few clowns already in the Phoenix area. I am just not cut out to be a clown.

[milliechadwick98]

@TheRasheim OMG!!! A CLOWN? That is truly the BEST job EVER!!!

[isisartes]

happy monkeyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Stryker833]

Could you please make a video to show how you made the spider monkey??

[HappyCabbie]

@Stryker833 No, there is no need. It is the same design just using red balloons and a sharpie paint pen

[SolvedWonders]

Hey man wow, nice spider money damn, nice man.

[HappyCabbie]

@SolvedWonders thanks

[citizenstitch]

you got a thumbs up for the spider monkey and brass monkey jokes. :D

also, nice design.

[HappyCabbie]

@citizenstitch thanks

[yevy37]

OMG this video made my day.My favorite animal is a monkey.I tried to make it and failed and I asked a couple other people and they failed as well :( I wish it was possible for you to send a monkey balloon to me.

[HappyCabbie]

@yevy37 what problem are you having?

[MrHathouse]

PAIR OF SCISSORS! THERE'S TWO!

[Eisteeis]

why am i watiching this =D?

[SuchaCaligrrl]

I love your videos, I have subscribed to your page. I find your videos to be very easy to follow, you are a good instructor. I dont know if you take request, but I would like to learn how to make a rose bouquet. I found a video by MrCroixx the only thing is that the video is in Spanish, I tried just following what he did but I just created one big mess. Can you please make one of a rose? :). Thank you.

[HappyCabbie]

@SuchaCaligrrl I have a rose balloon, I will send it to you

[SuperMiseryman]

Do u have another channel for balloons if u do can u send me a video from it so I can sub coz I'm on iPod & it's hard

[HappyCabbie]

@SuperMiseryman balloons are done every Thursday on this channel

[awsomechickize]

when i was almost done my balloon went pop :(

[HappyCabbie]

@awsomechickize try letting some air out of the balloon before you tie it in a knot

[awsomechickize]

@HappyCabbie thank you

[aaronphelps2008]

I like this monkey better than all the others that I've seen. Some artists seem to prefer having the face resemble the animals face the most, others go for other notable characteristics. This one disregards the face and draws attention to the tail and feett, which I think is what we remember after a visit to the zoo. Great Job!

[HappyCabbie]

@aaronphelps2008 thank you so much.

[dameselindistress]

Hi HappyCabbie, thank you for sharing your talent. :) I teach preschool and the kids loves all the balloon animals! thanks again!

[HappyCabbie]

@dameselindistress awesome. Just remember not all of my videos are kid friendly, ok.

[rachelmommy1]

Thanks so much for this tutorial! Such an adorable final product! And P.S. My 3 year old daughter cracked up every time you said "monkey butt". :) She keeps asking to watch it again, so bonus points for keeping my kid entertained! Hahaha

Best wishes!

[HappyCabbie]

@rachelmommy1 it is probably not a good idea to let her watch my video where I spank my monkey. But it is good fun after hours.

[Nagneto]

@HappyCabbie: I couldn't help it. The flying monkeys made me do it!

[Nagneto]

And now to beat a dead horse. AHEM. Don't spank the monkey. XD

Happy Cabbie is awesome.

[HappyCabbie]

@Nagneto thanks

[wcooper97]

HOLY CRAP! NICE! When you blew up the balloon around your finger, my eyes popped.. I never would have though of that.. pretty creative stuff.

I loved the spider monkey :)

[HappyCabbie]

@wcooper97 the finger curl is a show stopper

[cguevara12]

You sir, have a excellent talent.

[HappyCabbie]

@cguevara12 thanks

[sgelina2006]

Great instruction! I love your version of the spider monkey...clever

[HappyCabbie]

@sgelina2006 I also have a spider pig on a different video close to 100,000 views

[DeeDemonwitch]

spider monkey hehehehe :)

[HappyCabbie]

@DeeDemonwitch yes

[Atomsk359]

do you ever clown?

[HappyCabbie]

@Atomsk359 no

[DeimosSaturn]

man, this is like 12 dimensional origami.

[HappyCabbie]

@DeimosSaturn thank you

[ItsCatGamer]

Nice tutorial

[HappyCabbie]

@ItsCatGamer thank you so much

[KrazyRawb]

Lol thats awesome

[HappyCabbie]

@KrazyRawb I am glad you liked it

[fnglcnessie]

Wow! You turned quite red there when you inflated that tail with your own breath... :P

Excellent video, though!

[HappyCabbie]

@fnglcnessie thank you

[itsmeAlexus]

I made the monkey!!! :) But when i went to school, my bro popped it :|

[HappyCabbie]

@itsmeAlexus so sorry

[torontomapleleafer]

I can really see the inspiration from Mike Mozart in your videos, it really polishes up the videos. And those monkeys look GREAT!

[HappyCabbie]

@torontomapleleafer Mike Mozart is a genius

[KariThomasMiller]

I like the video where you make the monkey a lot more than the one you make love to the monkey.

[HappyCabbie]

@KariThomasMiller everyone has their preferences

[jessiex1990]

I love ur videos they bring big smile on my face. Hehe ur awesome!

[HappyCabbie]

@jessiex1990 thank you so much

[SmasherVlog]

those are firetruckin awesome

[HappyCabbie]

@SmasherVlog thanks

[bynxrufus]

D'awww, they're so cute! I totally need to make a spider monkey, now.

[HappyCabbie]

@bynxrufus go for it

[snugsaltynutz]

Did you post the Voltron vid yet?

[HappyCabbie]

@snugsaltynutz I am going to try and do it tomorrow

[bjam89]

don't be a clown please don't be a clown

[HappyCabbie]

@bjam89 but clowns are so awesome. I wish I was as good as a clown

[bjam89]

@HappyCabbie not when you got Coulrophobia

[hotlavatube]

Spanking awesome monkey!

[HappyCabbie]

@hotlavatube thanks

[RPfishh]

People folding balloons makes me super nervous, so I really doubt I will ever be doing this. It is very cute though!

I have to say this.... Stop monkeying around!

[HappyCabbie]

@RPfishh on the rare occasions I pop a balloon I always edit that out

[HappyCabbie]

@GrudgyDiablo I learned this in prison

[JBarracudaL]

That was really impressive. I've never watched one of your balloon vids before, I'll be sure to take a look at the others. Very cool.

[HappyCabbie]

@JBarracudaL thank you so much.

[Kargoneth]

I did not give you permission to make a balloon of me!

lol, it's cute. Nicely done.

[HappyCabbie]

@Kargoneth thank you

[catlord98765]

can you make a balloon bannana?

[HappyCabbie]

@catlord98765 yes just use a piece of left over balloon and blow it up

[Slagtheangry]

Great video Cabbie, this was amazingly detailed. You're my hero.

[HappyCabbie]

@Slagtheangry thank you so much

[Animefan2o07]

omg the tail part was awsome :D

[HappyCabbie]

@Animefan2o07 thanks

[geminirat84]

5:05 Sorry Cabbie...I don't want to see your monkey..lol jk. This is really really cool stuff, I've never seen anyone slow down the whole process like you do and have it actually make sense. The most I could ever do was make a very good balloon snake...okay I lie...I can't. I really hope you continue doing something that you obviously love.

[HappyCabbie]

@geminirat84 in my video, Tribute to Annaconda1984 I show you how to make a rattlesnake that actually rattles

[toddlusk]

You know Happy, that brass monkey is sure one funky monkey.

[HappyCabbie]

@toddlusk yes it is

[Katfellow]

Cool beans.

Ever think about making a life sized balloon HappyCabbie for blogtv?

And the million dollar question - Now that you have a monkey, have you spanked it? lol

[HappyCabbie]

@Katfellow there is not enough balloons for a life size HappyCabbie

[TheTruePooka]

Most impressive. I may have to challenge you to a "Balloon sculpture making contest." :P

[HappyCabbie]

@TheTruePooka I think you will win

[LordMacBeth79]

Another brilliant one there. But I still want to know hy use a balloon pump and not inflate with your mouth. That part I don't get.

[HappyCabbie]

@LordMacBeth79 simple, buy a bag of balloons and try to inflate by mouth, see how you do

[LordMacBeth79]

@HappyCabbie And here was me thinking it was possibly trying acurately measure how much air you put in or something like that. But now you've said that I feel like a complete idiot! It's rather obvious now... *shuffles away, embarrassed*..

[MissPickletoes]

@LordMacBeth79 Those narrow balloons are killers to inflate. I myself have caused severe pain in my ears from blowing by mouth.

Wait that sounded wrong on so many levels...

;-)

I speak of BALLOONS here, people......

[LordMacBeth79]

@MissPickletoes Funny wording but thanks for the information there...!

[LaceHearts]

Those are cute.

[HappyCabbie]

@LaceHearts thanks

[FatTonyBBX]

Exceptionally good tutorial!

-FT

[HappyCabbie]

@FatTonyBBX thank you so much

[KiddsockTV]

That Funky Monkey!

SWeet! I will have to try my hand, or sock, at a bolloon figure.

[HappyCabbie]

@KiddsockTV good job

[FuckSlice]

I wonder... could you do a Flying Spaghetti Monster? For someone like you who knows what he's doing and can even make a massive Megatron I'm sure it's not a problem, I just think it'll be awesome to see.

[HappyCabbie]

@FuckSlice Yes I have done it on blogtv many times. It is quite easy.

[superkool99]

You face went Blood red when you blew it up xD!

EPIC MONKAAAAYYY.

[HappyCabbie]

@superkool99 thanks

[TheAnarchistAlex]

That's cool... And all, but I felt dirty after watching this.. Hah.

[HappyCabbie]

@TheAnarchistAlex take a shower

[TheAnarchistAlex]

@HappyCabbie I did lol, now I feel better, great vid though!

[Dunkelzahn77]

Great video tutorial and i realy like the monkeys. btw the squeaking is not that bad at all. Keep up the good work ;)

[HappyCabbie]

@Dunkelzahn77 thanks

[llamasausage]

i personally enjoy the squeeking

seems more like ur teaching stuff and less like a random narrator voice

[HappyCabbie]

@llamasausage thanks but I hate the squeeking sound. Most of my videos will not have them

[Elenkhos]

you rock happy

[HappyCabbie]

@Elenkhos thanks

[Eodred]

spider-baloon-monkey made me LOL... also, great tutorial... love the whole curly tail method...

[HappyCabbie]

@Eodred it is a crowd pleaser

[StarMagick]

Now there is a concept I can't get enough of... a man and his monkey lol. How did you get interested in doing balloon structures cabbie?

[HappyCabbie]

@StarMagick when I was a cab driver I made balloons for my customers

[gunnerdan70]

the squeaking isn't that bad happy i wouldn't worry about it

[HappyCabbie]

@gunnerdan70 thanks

[nekedemus]

WWAAHH. The monkey evolved..

[HappyCabbie]

@nekedemus #LOL

[SniperWalrus]

Your mastery of balooncraft is truly impressive...

I won't ever make this, but its fun to watch!

[HappyCabbie]

@SniperWalrus thanks

[AtheistAussie]

Will it evolve though? Huh?

[SniperWalrus]

@AtheistAussie OFC it will, into a popped balloon...

[HappyCabbie]

@AtheistAussie no, it will not evolve

[tperusic]

lol, "Spider Monkey" priceless. I'm working on getting that slide show together, you'll be the first to see. Thanks for all the help Cabby!

[HappyCabbie]

@tperusic thanks

[niekvdbogert]

thanks Happycabbie! But can you be a little more specific in the tutorials. You use terms like 'you do this and than that'. And to me, the balloon n00b it isnt always clear what you mean by them. A little more concrete descriptions will go a long way!

Thanks and continue being awesome!

[HappyCabbie]

@niekvdbogert thanks for the feedback. Now granted this balloon I would not say is for beginners. My balloon playlist is actually in order from basics to advanced. However I do have a few more monkey versions out there and I will try and slow it down some.

[niekvdbogert]

@HappyCabbie hope it helps. I am a phd student in educational psychology, studying teachers' behavior and alot of teachers remain in inconcrete descriptors resulting in less learning by the students. So im just a education geek ;-) I am definitely going to try some of the easier ones, im betting ill score major points with my gf ;-)

[Gaawachan]

@HappyCabbie Hey, Happy, what if you did a video that focuses on various twists that are commonly used?

[HappyCabbie]

@Gaawachan I actually uploaded several of them back in 2007. They are on my balloon instruction playlist

[okuma0kuma]

cool tail trick ,i first to thumb up

[HappyCabbie]

@okuma0kuma thanks

[Azel112]

that is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HappyCabbie]

@Azel112 thank you

[ImStillBlind]

CreepyCabbie lol

[Shadoweyes07]

HOW CUTE!! :)

[HappyCabbie]

@Shadoweyes07 thanks

[ThisIsTrevor100]

I'd rather watch you make it than me making it. GOOD JOB CABBIE!

[HappyCabbie]

@ThisIsTrevor100 good to know
