  • Similarly, I didn't know if this video would be good, or suck. Upon observation, it sucks.

  • @69MrUsername69 its a thick lead box you wouldn't hear it.

  • aperture science logo on the geiger meter

  • cant you just listen for the cyanide container to break? 

  • I could barely listen to what he was saying because his excessive head and facial movement was so distracting.

  • Ahh wtf he can't pronounce Schrödinger correctly!!

  • Quite clever adapting the Schrodinger's cat to humor. The punchline travels back in time making the entire joke either funny or not. So if you want to experience time travel, tell a joke. A joke that starts out really good, making people believe "oh this is gonna be a good". Then surprise them with a totally dumb punchline, and you've successfully changed the past. The beginning of the joke that was really good is now totally dumb.

  • My physics teacher would LOL at the radioactive cat joke.

  • it is amazing how shameless you seem in to this video...

  • lool great acting
