YAY AMERICA! 1,000 SPARKLERS

[Xel963]

PS: Is it wrong to see this vid and then feel the need to try it out for yourself?

[shackupyourstruly]

They even look like a bunch of matchsticks all together. Ugh!

[TheCeejReturns]

At least you were prepared for it this time around. I wonder if, when I catch up with you, you'll have posted a third one.

[Soufian7Hakim]

You are so fucking gay!

Look at yourself..

[pumarunner88]

I knew this video wouldn't disappointed. Anyone who has ever held like 5 or so of those damn things lit at once knows full well that they can fuck shit up in large numbers.

[EnobyXD]

I know you said not to do this, but as soon as the weather permits, I'm doing this >:D

[LadyTigerLily]

I definitely thought you put a generic .gif of an H-bomb going off. You have no idea how happy I am that you're alive and also that this video is real.

[MultiSS95]

NUCLEAR!!!!!!

[pimpsonparade]

Fucking fireworks. How do they work?

[EvilScuzz]

eat 'ya heart out LHC =D

[billydeeuk]

Last year it was 200, this year it was 100.....roll on 4th July 2011! ^_^

[MmmBIood]

Amazing! Hahaha.

[Jesses001]

Hahaha, from your reaction, I do not think you understood what would happen, lol. Oh, that is so funny to see someone run for there lives when they relize it was such a horrible idea after all, as long as no one gets hurt that is.

[ProfessorRaineAurion]

xD You're awesome, Best idea ever. I need to try this on the 4th of July.

[Caniswalensis]

WOW, Was that the sun coming out at night? or was that blinding light actually a visitation from the Lord!?

(I think ZJ might have seen something)

BTW< ZJ, you are a bas influence. i am going to try this the at the first oppurtunity!

[Spanky00Cheeks]

That's the only "Shock and Awe" I approve of.

And the beginning was quite the "V for Vendetta" tribute.

[AWalkingEncyclopedia]

"Oh my fucking God"

even in times or having fun, you still find time to tease the religious about their sci-fi :P

[vendettaseve]

Lol holy shit I think I lost an eyebrow in that one.

[c0y0tito]

haha the end was AWESOME!!!

[Noisegator]

I can't believe people are still parsing and criticising comments where regulars make a joke about Zinnia finding god in a flash of magnesium.

.

Hey all you ultra serious types out there, we know that when she yelled "Oh my fucking god" she was not converting to Xtianity. Really, we do. Have faith. Just enjoy the laughs and the fireworks. There is only simulated religion here. Nothing to get semantic about.

[amotue]

that was one of the best things EVER!

[RoseSiegel]

mushroom cloud? damn...

[hugesinker]

Did you win the prize at the drunken fighting event?

[DrBruceBanner10]

Haha that was awesome.

[commentizzle]

tits please

[amotue]

@commentizzle you know ZJ is a guy right?

[frezno109]

"Oh my fucking god," indeed! That was awesome.

[iamzhippoppotimus]

that was amazing. XD I was watching full screen too.

"OH MY FUCKING GOD."

[XtremePCGaming]

my penis in your belly bum;)

[lotanddaughters]

Tsara Bomba!

[TechnomancerMorhion]

Next year, 10,000!!!!

[LegendBaal]

LOL "omfg omfg blind!!!!!!!!"

[InsertShankHere]

Did they just explode? Cause, that was pretty damn epic.

[Gahagafaga]

KA-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWM

[Kawamura2]

wait ZJ, was that you that lit 1000 sparklers? Impressive show whether or not you did, but damn, that was bright. Good thing sparklers weren't made to actually explode lol

[MattZeefy]

That was like.. A nuke >:D

[HighlordAwesome]

The best part was when you said "oh my f***ing god". It was quaint.

[normank27]

@HighlordAwesome I think it is hilarious coming from an athiest who makes all kinds of videos about THERE IS NO GOD! LOL

[Kawamura2]

@normank27 not really. Oh God, or Oh My Fucking God, is part of the language. Saying it doesn't mean you believe in God, nor is it ironic in any way, as it has become an ingrained expression in the every day English language. 

[CanisLupus1987]

@Kawamura2 Don't forget she was raised in a religious milieu and certain habits do not go away that easily

[Kawamura2]

@CanisLupus1987 exactly

[normank27]

@Kawamura2 Ok, i'll agree it's simply an expression however coming from a guy that rambles on and on about atheism in countless videos it is a little strange!

[Kawamura2]

@normank27 Not really. Expressions are ingrained in people. Whether or not he is Atheist, it is an expression of disbelief, or awe, or whatever. It is part of the English vernacular. I myself am not a Christian, yet if i see something amazing or something that scares me senseless, i have been known to say "JESUS CHRIST" loudly. That doesn't mean i follow Jesus, it just means it is an ingrained expression, and to say something like "Holy Flying Spaghetti Monster" would just come off as contrived

[aheurung]

@normank27 Its like calling things "Gay" ... 

[LazyJones1]

@normank27

Yeah, sorta like when christians say the name of the day before friday - they're TOTALLY celebrating a norse god. Or the day after saturday, worshipping the sun!

:)

[Kawamura2]

@LazyJones1  lol my point exactly

[Kawamura2]

@LazyJones1 or if they say the day after sunday, they are moon worshippers. Yes, saying something instantly makes you believe it lol

[Mdaske]

Boy or girl?

[HighlordAwesome]

@Mdaske Irrelevant, this video has no talking head.

[charmandersayzrawrr]

12 people missed the like button

[curiousgeorge1940]

I missed the 'works show ( and the drunks ) at home .... Thanks for the catch-up !

[learo05]

Wow. Just wow. I must do this....

[Hyperlot]

Wow. I was hoping it'd be a really cool light show, not a potential death trap.

[faeriebutch]

I see why they're fighting now... Neil Diamond's "Coming to America" is playing

[constantresearcher34]

Stick that behind some lego buildings and it could have been Hiroshima action movie remake.

[alexvegas]

Not one mention of the word faggot or homo in the comments like there usually is... seems playing with fire wins you points with the 'phobes!

[Lucem2]

OMG A Mushroom Cloud !!!

Zinnia you are EVIL !!!!!

Excellent Music: Gustav Holst , The Planets!

[Jessaymae]

Sparklers are illegal in Arizona ;(

[mkailov13]

@Jessaymae

So are Mexicans. 

[Jessaymae]

@mkailov13 *foreign dude from family guy* Haha, is funny because of racist bill 1070.

[TransexualTriumphs]

how much did it cost to buy a thousand sparklers?

[Brianwulf]

Fucking awesome. enough said.

[DanceInYourRoom]

See? God exists. If ZJemptv can do it, Elijah most certainly could too.

[DaichisMonkeyGirl]

Great, now I wanna try that!

[sigmafan]

*looking at the video* This seems like a cool video. Let's see what.... *see's Blinding light ala Flashbang from SWAT 4*

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHH!!!!! YOU FOOL!

[Shahal1]

I haven't seen anything that cool with sparklers sence me and my friends came up with sparkler fights. Thats where you throw them at each other.

[tugger]

LOL SPARKLER FURY

[microphon3]

i laughed so hard :)

[AfterFauve001]

Ordnance !!! WOOHOO!!!!

FIRE- heehihihiheee

[Shydrow]

and thats when i died my third time.

[xXMrGreenEyes24Xx]

Lots better then the shitty ones in my town.

[Jiibrael]

DId you really say "OMFG" ? ... :D

(I know I know ... that's just an expression ... still ;-)

[onlyAerik]

nothing like fightin' to neil diamond

[lizichell]

How long did it take for your eyesight and hearing to return after the flash?

[paranapoleon]

omfg was also the first thing i thought lol xD

[TJay9000]

LOL this could so easily have ended up on failblog xD

[judofighter10]

woah!!!!

[niriop]

"Oh my fucking god!"

Oh ZJ! :( Years of faithlessness down the drain in seconds...

[toofuairi]

@niriop it's an expression of an amazing disbelief.

its also second nature to a lot of people. especially those that have either been very religious in their past, or where dragged along kicking and screaming to church. Using that phase does not justify losing anything. if anything, after all these years, you should have noticed that she was once a part of the church. and left it, and showed us the stupid process to actually leave the church.

If you actually took insult, you're an idiot.

[niriop]

@toofuairi Jesus fucking Christ! (Irony!) Grow a sense of humour, get laid once in a fucking while, or at least jack off more to compensate, and don't end up becoming the incidental troll!

[yourmamaluigi]

@niriop saying oh my god is pretty much a habitual thing for almost anyone. including atheists.

[Xel963]

@niriop Well no matter one's faith one does say stuff like that cause it's what you learn from the Culture of where you live.

[LatumWay]

Love it how the screen literally went completely white. Awesome.

[DarksiderDarmoset]

TIME TRAVEL :D:D:D

[LordCanzite]

That looked like an atom bomb...

[MpowerdAPE]

drunk fights in the south burbs ?!?! say it aint so. when are you gonna get your "snob" on and move up north ZJ ?

[toofuairi]

@MpowerdAPE how much further north does she have to go? doesn't she live in Illinois? they exist everywhere a rural area exists. a little hard to just move away. urban settings are about as far as you can get from them.

[Itsrealhands]

holy shit! You idiot! lol'd.

[Golfers4LiberTea]

Neil Diamond has that effect on some people.

[TIMMYMyLego]

I hate christians! I'm sorry but christians are so judgmental and you can't get away from them, it's annoying! and if it continues I might have to do some things really "unholy" lol

[XendmustB2]

@TIMMYMyLego Your a bloody Sinner thats way!

[HighlordAwesome]

@TIMMYMyLego If you spite people, you give them more incentive to bark at you.

[jussts]

Oh... damn... now I'm glad I didn't try my genius/drunk idea of holding about 100 of them in one hand and lighting them.

[MilitantAtheistAhole]

GENTLEMEN

[SamuelHans]

I now know what to do for next year.

[sniperofbuffalo]

that was awesome

[waytoday09]

I find it funny that 'Welcome to America' was playing during the drunk fight.

[TheLizardLass]

holy crap. why didn't I ever think of that?

[TwoHeadedSeaPonies]

1:55 Oh shit, you created another univers!

[RagingConflagration]

KAH BOOM!

[Bezshai]

Holy crap, that was great!

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

I only counted 994 sparklers. What a rip-off!

[theflamingpi]

Didn't you do this last year?  Do you not learn from the mistakes of the past?

[grumpchong]

that shit went nuclear

[LoserOtaku]

did it actually look anywhere near as bright as that or was it just the camera?

[kimberlyjennery]

@LoserOtaku Yeah - I was going to ask the same question! That was amazing!

[btwbrand]

"Sparklers" are pieces of wire dipped in what is basically a mixture of thermite.

Depending on the ratio and composition of powdered metal to oxides you can get a kids celebratory "sparkler" or a reaction capable of melting large quantities of metal and producing enough ultraviolet light to give you burns similar to extended sun exposure in a mater of seconds. Fun, fun.

If you tightly wrap 10 or so sparklers with lots of duct tape you'll have made yourself a rather dangerous boom stick.

[boyceps]

@btwbrand Cool! i know what to try for the next 4th of July. Or was it Cinco De Mayo?

[gyongah]

Yea we attempted something similar to this at home Sunday and I was hit twice with eight balls.

[DaKeybladeMasterz]

Veteran's park, yo?

[gweneverek]

nice!!!!

[JPa311979]

A home made big bang model! 1:00 welcome to America.

[markyuree]

This just goes to show, you can take the boy out of the gi... wait... you can take the hetero... dammit! You KNOW what I mean.

[Damanwitthaplan]

"OMFG!" My thoughts exactly....

[bigbakaboon]

what did you use to get them to ignite at once?

[Gesmehod]

and they give these things to kids...

[Gesmehod]

and they give these things to little kids...

[thepatcat]

Y'know, there have to be safer ways to get an instant tan...

[boyceps]

@thepatcat LOL

[i1234t1234]

ahhh fire booze a violence.... *sniff, Sniff* IM SO PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! X'D

[DarkMatter2525]

So THAT'S where the WMDs went.

[charlesfloyb]

Wow, that's a rush. Now I know what to put in the bonfire. Nice idea!

[DJBludLust]

when I saw the sparklers I was like NOUH MY GOD

like looking into the sun I imagine lol

[hgryphon]

You can make "bombs" by packing sparklers into the plastic tubes old-fashioned automatic film comes in... FYI. ;)

[i1234t1234]

@hgryphon yeah put that out there where EVERYONE and ANYONE can see im sure no one will do it...

[hgryphon]

@i1234t1234 Okay, three things:

1. Notice "bomb" is in quotes? It's not a bomb in the sense that you can blow up a car with it. It explodes and makes a noise and as long as you're not holding it...

2. While Zinnia would appreciate the traffic, not "everyone and anyone" watches these videos, let alone reads the comments.

3. Did you actually watch the video? They show a large number of sparklers flaring up quickly. Anyone with the right mindset would already be thinking about it.

(And I did.)

[i1234t1234]

@hgryphon the quotations could have been taken to mean yes it explodes but is technically not a bomb. That doesnt mean that it couldnt cause damage to property or person if done incorrectly with certain things like this its sometimes best not to even post it... or at least make it more clear as to what it will do when set up and lit.

[hgryphon]

@i1234t1234 Sorry, but when did you give birth to me? Stop riding my ass, mom.

[i1234t1234]

@hgryphon Dont talk to your mother like that young man no go to your room and finish your homework wait till your father hears about what you did at school today.

[hgryphon]

@i1234t1234 *slumps his head and shoulders* Yes, ma'am... *goes upstairs and slams his door in pathetic teenage rebellion*

[i1234t1234]

@hgryphon ahh they grow up so fast lol

[zoeviz000]

I told people sparklers were dangerous :P

[Kargoneth]

Sparkler -> Thermite -> Sparklers?

[supermanlypunch]

Surely ZJ, you must have thought at some point "This is fucking stupid idea" right? Cause if you did, thank you for ignoring that thought to bring us this awesome, awesome vid. I hope you didn't get burned.

[papafox]

OMFG! I am SO trying that next year! :-D

[jessehardy]

LOL FIREWORKS GO BOOM BOOM POW

[MysteryGreenTea]

lol! Those sparklers looked like they could blind someone.

[CyberHangman]

The sparklers lighting up like that was awesome! Did you get lit on fire from that? Of course, if you got lit on fire, that part is NOT awesome. xP

[HUNTER831415]

epic lol

[MNSDaz]

i was not aware sparklers could do that

now i fear they might rise up against us someday

[Igm3rdart]

@MNSDaz No shit XD

[BetterABleedingHeart]

Nothing more Amurkan than getting drunk and blowing things up. LOL. 

[SkeptikSnarf]

OMFG is right ;)

[bluebalute]

***VOOOSH***

.

.

silence

.

.

.

(you catch your breath) "Oh my F*^&%*$#&* " Hilarious. I watched that part 6 times over. Nicely done. Thanks for posting that.

[LawfulDead]

I like ideas that start with "Hey guys, hold my beer and watch this!"

[infectingthecrypts]

Me and my friends tried doing that with 250 sparklers... Pretty much a waste of money. Go big or go home (and set off non-sparkler explosives), I guess.

And one video I'd like to see all over the internet next 4th: someone pumping napalm into their ass and going "human torch" on some Vietnamese children. What's more 'Murkan that that?!?!?!

[brainfoodlunch]

Awesome, just awesome.

[FindingTara]

Damn. Now I want to try it; maybe with 2000 sparklers this time

[KevinBradey]

I love your reaction xD

[mylovelydame21]

WHOA... those sparklers kick ass! Hopefully nothing caught on fire.

[torqueman6]

Do you still have any eye brows?

[ZombieToaster]

Mini-nuke ;)

[Hockeygod98]

I've seen a lot of stuff in my life, but that...was...AWESOME!

[Keippernicus]

1000 sparklers = tactical nuke. Awesome.

[Malikazz]

lower pay for all the government workers buy a bunch of fire works because they are more important :P

[zephyr20x6]

this video is awsome because all your videos you are usually extremely smart, intelligent, and rational and in this video at the end it shows you doing something stupid, nice. immature voice: but I bet I can beat you on who's done the stupidest thing!!!(with fire) :P (although that doesn't sound like something you would want to win but whatevs.)

[LeifRunenritzer]

I like your idea of fireworks better—less hearing damage.

[ulnartwitch]

Did you burn a hole in the street?  Is that why we don't see the aftermath? Hmm? :P

[Invaishir]

This made me horny.

[bkisme]

I prefer the sparkler bombs that go "BOOOUUUUM"

Still pretty nice though.

[smergibblegibberish]

Damn, at least it wasn't in the grass... I probably would have made that mistake.

[zellen420]

hehehe looks like you had fun

[x2thay]

Omfg! It looked like a thermonuclear bomb being detonated 20ft away.

[busdriverfierce]

I had a hunch that they would catch fire, but a GOD DAMN NUCLEAR BLAST was rather unexpected.

[Stupidkibbles3]

omg! That was amazing ZJ!

"oh my fucking god" made it.

[atari26003]

is this supposed to make me think america is even more stupid or is this supposed to say how great it is.

im confused.

[sickmary]

So You Cut them By At least Half... Maybe down to Bunches of 300, And Wrap them Even more Tightly than you wrapped those, and you wrap them with Electrical tape leaving only the tiny hole at the top for the one Sparkler you use  as a Fuse.... and you get a Boom Instead of a Flash. Just remember to Wrap very tightly.

[TruelySonicHOG]

Way to go, Zinnia. You just made a mini nuclear holocaust. XD

[M0US3P0T4TO]

Zinnia "BAD IDEA" Jones, indeed! That was most assuredly NOT one of your best. Oh my. lol (ps: glad you didn't get hurt, you damned nut!)

[baxterman2]

did you learn ANYTHING from last year

[juditK2007]

This must be the fireman's favorite holiday.

[YoiBoi285]

OMG I WANNA TRY IT!!! FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE, WOOSH!!!!

[halberthawkins]

It looked like a freakin' nuke! LOL

[punkimiko]

Lol big bang. were you hurt?

[s81710]

lol good thing u stood back

[youwantthey]

was that a mushroom cloud?

[MedievalWerewolf]

Was that a bundle of sparklers, a tactical nuke, or the fucking Hammer of Dawn?!

[DblOSmith]

Whoa... It went Nova... Big bang style. :)
