Hearted Youtube comments on The Slow Mo Guys (@theslowmoguys) channel.

  1. It was great having you all out! Those shots were absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to do it again!
    29000
  2. I don't know if Dan will speak to me after going through so much pain!!😈
    22000
  3. Dang, you guys made chopping an arrow look easy (and very pretty with the slow motion). Thanks for the shout out!
    19000
  4. Thanks for having me on the channel! I had a great time filming together and I look forward to doing it again! You all are always welcome!
    19000
  5. That is absolutely wild, everything pretty much stops. I've never felt closer to being in the matrix.
    18000
  6. So if the earth was made of glass, it would take roundabout four hours till it is completely shattered into pieces.
    17000
  7. You should’ve painted the earth on it so you could say you broke a world record
    15000
  8. Dude! I like how when the apple breaks apart, each individual piece rotates in the same direction as the original piece. Conservation of angular momentum I reckon. Brilliant video.
    15000
  9. How much could this be escalated? Like a domino effect of bullets from the tiny round up to a tank shell.
    15000
  10. Cough* cough* (starts engineering feverishly)
    13000
  11. What's our next project??????
    13000
  12. Literally the best camera quality I've seen in my life
    12000
  13. Oh hey! Thanks for the shoutout guys!!! 😄 Although I would say I think it is more like the capacitors are out to get me! 😂 I am also highly AMPed about doing a collab, there are stuff I need to figure out in slowmo, like how fast you will jump at different voltages!
    11000
  14. I love that Dan’s impulse before doing something difficult is to take his shirt off.
    11000
  15. Not a big deal, but windshields aren't tempered. They're made of two pieces of normal, untempered glass that is cut then bent into windshield shape, then a layer of plastic (polyvinyl butyryl) is inserted between the glass layers and the entire sandwich is put into a giant autoclave (a pressure cooker, basically) where it melts and fuses the lites together. You can tell it's not tempered because windshields will chip or crack but don't explode in the way that a side or rear window does. You want the windshield to break and cave in but not explode in the event that either a sizeable object or a person hits it from either side. Source: Worked in a factory making auto windows, including windshields - broke enough of them to know tempered vs not
    11000
  16. This was some of the coolest slow mo footage ever! Thanks so much for coming out! You guys are always welcome back!
    10000
  17. I cannot emphasize enough how nice it is that you haven't become one of those "shouty" channels for 12 yo's. And also delivers great content with a perfect mix of guesstimations, science, humor and slow motion.
    8700
  18. Great to hang with you lads, so much fun. Let’s go again in 2024!
    8000
  19. My favorite part of these videos is: Gav and Dan set up a ridiculous scenario, predict it'll make a huge mess, indeed make the mess they predicted, and yet, are still surprised by just how much of a mess they make. Never change, lads.
    7800
  20. It was such a pleasure having you all out again! Dan rode the lightning like a champ! Can’t wait for the next time!
    7800
  21. “You might have well have just filmed someone falling off a roof”
    7700
  22. I know a lot of people in this world but without a doubt Dan Gruchy is one of the bravest, most genuine, and courageous people I know.
    7400
  23. I now greatly anticipate the release of Daniel Gruchy’s newest children’s book, “An Egg On My Leg.”
    6800
  24. What's the progress with Dan's tunnel?
    6500
  25. One of my favorite videos you guys have done. So amazing to see the feelers reaching out for the lucky path!
    6500
  26. He replaced the camera op with a robot, the mint dropper with a robot… Next thing you know, he’s going to replace Dan with a robot.
    6400
  27. Absolutely gorgeous footage Great shooting Dan! I've always wanted to see this! The glass impact was incredible! GOATs
    6300
  28. The cool thing is that all the series is for free with out ads and stuff. For real I really love what you guys doing
    6200
  29. 6:44 “I think that counts,” said Dan with 15 minutes left in the video.
    6200
  30. I feel like this channel is secretly funded by a curious assassin.
    6100
  31. Just me or was this like the most interesting video of the year?
    5700
  32. That was so incredibly violent! I share Dan’s respect for huge magnets. I feel like they constantly want to smash my fingers off.
    5300
  33. Dan coming back up into frame with his face melted was one of the best moments on this channel ever
    5200
  34. WOW! I think the tank didn't break because when bullet hit the glass, it curved creating a vacuum behind it, and with the help of atmospheric pressure from the other side, pushed the glass back in place not allowing it to curve too much to break! COOL! We should use water in bullet proof glass!
    4600
  35. Gorgeous footage. When Scott said “1200 grains of powder” I laughed out loud. What an amazing piece that thing is.
    4500
  36. Incredible footage. That setup is impressively complicated and awesome. Well done guys.
    4300
  37. Pro tip for ballistics gel in hot weather: set it on a piece of glass, cover it with white cloth, then rotate it so the smooth bottom is on the side for filming. Every time you rotate it, it will get smooth on the bottom again.
    4300
  38. this is the most 2011 slow mo guys video I've seen since subbing watching 14 years ago lol
    4200
  39. Hey guys if u were wondering, the little “ink vents” are actually made for air to come in
    3900
  40. I was thinking maybe I can hold my hand in front of it with no damage, but after seeing the ham... NO!
    3900
  41. Gav: ‘I will have to go for a swim’ *me expecting him to just put it in water and that’s it*: ok Gav: jumps head first into a bathtub fully clothed Me: this is why I’m subscribed.
    3600
  42. Dan handled that gold leaf like a cartoon character handles a souffle.
    3500
  43. How long do you think Dan spent tunneling his way to Texas from England?
    3500
  44. That was a ton of fun.
    3300
  45. Way to put our camera to the test, Gavin and team! We know that GoPro’s can withstand any BOOM our users throw at it, but seeing it in action is still pretty awesome.
    3100
  46. British guy assessment of damage: "awwwuhhh" "aahhhhhah" "OooHoAahH" "oOoOoOoOooo"
    3100
  47. This was incredible! The Omega held up extremely well under such magnification I have to say. Even at the level of magnification I do things start to look pretty sketchy pretty fast. You did a very good job of explaining what was happening with the watch :) Now I just need to figure out how to get your camera setup for my videos and I'll be set! 😂 Thanks for the shoutout too!
    3000
  48. Absolutely beautiful.
    2900
  49. Give Smee his own labcoat! He's a slow meow guy now.
    2900
  50. Stretch Armstrong is 46 years old, you'll have as much trouble controlling your bladder at that age after drinking that much water! Classic Gav & Dan silliness in this video, can't wait for the next!
    2900
  51. Love the analysis in this video. Dans description of the curvature of the fractures by considering the pane as a section of larger circle is spot on. Not only is it mathematically/physically correct they, explain it in such a way most people can understand it
    2800
  52. Dude that mint dropping shot is incredible. You’ve outdone yourself
    2700
  53. Love the slow mo fellas because they don't limit themselves to a set regimented structure for the videos. Slow mo is always fun to look at but a charming chat with dan's mom just hits different
    2700
  54. Fun fact: That little speck you can see in the droplet sometimes is the ISS orbiting the flat Earth map.
    2700
  55. How many genuine WOW moments can you have inside 20 minutes? Thanks guys that was exceptional viewing
    2600
  56. I don’t think there are many channels with >10 million subs who would have most of a video consist of a chat with their mum about EpiPens, just because it was interesting 😅 This is why you guys are great – still totally grounded despite everything!
    2600
  57. THANKS FOR THE SHOUT-OUT GAV 🤓 (PS - your spit is gross)
    2600
  58. That probe lens 😍
    2400
  59. I so appreciate you replaying the first slow-mo but with the image being persistent. Immediately satisfied the thought as it arised.
    2400
  60. I love how he coughed to prepare for .... A cough
    2300
  61. This is easily one of my favorite videos you've ever made. It wasn’t particularly spectacular, unique, or groundbreaking, it was distinctly human. That oh-so-familiar feeling of doing something over and over, striving for perfection, determined to achieve the result you set out for. I say this with absolute sincerity: it was touching to see those three paintballs hit perfectly. 10/10, I can't wait for the next video <3
    2100
  62. So great to play with you guys again!
    2000
  63. i need to give this video a like. OH here's one
    1900
  64. Always here for Giant Balloon June! 🎈👌
    1700
  65. I'd like to propose a petition to have Adam Savage in every Slow Mo Guys video going forward, thank you
    1700
  66. Did you try any other fruit? I'd like to see this attempted with every fruit possible.
    1500
  67. The sound mix of this video is exceptional. Well done, as always, Gav!
    1500
  68. the "Nope" speed should be an official unit of measurement
    1400
  69. This is just incredible. What a unique perspective. The math and speed of it all blows my mind...
    1400
  70. You’ve done it again... blown away by something I never imagined I would be
    1200
  71. This was stinking cool !!!
    1200
  72. The marketing team who had the idea to get SMG for promo deserves a raise
    1200
  73. What Gav says at the end about the footage still being surprising, despite expecting it, is spot on! Each and every video, I see the title and can imagine roughly how it's going to look, but I'm then blown away by how much detail and cool stuff there is to look at. Awesome every time, and still getting better 11 years on!
    1100
  74. Whoa this is a whole 16 minutes. I didn't realise til i finished watching it. Really didn't feel that long.
    1100
  75. “Is it a good idea to microwave this” was my original Slow Mo Guys, very greatful for this nostalgic throwback
    1100
  76. 4:40 ... MIND BLOWN. Of course that's how it works... but I never actually considered what it would look like slowed down. Incredible footage, as always Gavin. Thanks for the upload!
    1100
  77. Seriously impressive match rocket to the face Gav & Dan. It really couldn't have gone better. Thanks for the love.  Love you back, and been subscribed since I started making videos.  All the best!
    1000
  78. The Slow Mo Guys is one of those channels that, among the dozens (or hundreds) of channels you follow, whenever they upload a video you immediately just watch. Instead of them just being one of the many videos in your feed. and they then never fail to dissapoint.
    1000
  79. 8:13 “if stuff goes wrong, it still looks right” being said while Dan’s head is accidentally almost completely out of view is great
    1000
  80. Thanks for coming out to our test site and capturing the amazing slow mo shots, Gav! You're welcome back anytime :)
    968
  81. Great video. I didn't realise it was so exciting in slow motion. I just get the adrenaline rush, the bang and the fog of electrolyte vapour.
    947
  82. And when the dust settles and the ringing in all the patron's ears died down, Big Jim emerged from the wreckage of the bar and said "Right, then. I'm stripes. Your shot."
    895
  83. For the love of god! use a marker to mark your old bullet entries so you won't have to guess which one is the new one!! 😁 Nice explosions though! I bet the bullet is deflected a tiny bit, which may show better if target was like 1km away
    891
  84. Do I understand why the bullet shattered? Yes. Was it still totally surprising? Yes. Well done!
    848
  85. These two are some of the very few youtubers that actually work hard each video for us to enjoy instead of holding a £300 point and shoot camera at there face for a few minutes each day and getting millions of dollars for it. That is why i instantly press like on every single one of there videos regardless. That and the fact they are fellow Brits, and are great lads!
    825
  86. The shot at 7:52!
    823
  87. Bout time Dan. Roll Tide.
    819
  88. Hey Gav, Gav... don't freak out... The cameras were off Gav.. THE CAMERAS WERE OFF
    787
  89. That shows how fast glass breaks... Even at 103.000 FPS it looks instantaneous!
    761
  90. Working with Phantoms and searching for that one segment of spark is no joke. I was lucky to film with Phantoms a few videos back, and it gives me a huge appreciation for what Gav and Dan did for this video. What great footage you guys captured, resonant frequency and all.
    757
  91. dude for some of these shots, time was so slow I literally thought the video was buffering. the only thing that gave it away was the slight twinkle in the specular highlights. Absolutely amazing haha
    752
  92. I love the rotating footage at 4:00, you can see how the pieces break off and keep spinning at the same rate, while traveling on a course sort of tangential to the original disc's rotation. Incredible!
    724
  93. 4:42 Lyrics: DAN CAUGHT A FISH IT CAME FROM THE CURRENT BUT THEN WAS CAUGHT
    719
  94. 0:43 the absolute loudest game in existence. Even when the computer volume was at 10/100 this game was still loud AF
    712
  95. Very cool! I mean, forget land-mines. You could booby-trap a place with a bunch of spinning laser-discs and nobody would want to go anywhere near it!
    690
  96. The end of the crystal maze hahahahahahaha actually burst out laughing
    670
  97. 12:20 What a ball' - British (informal), abbreviation of ball-ache in reference to the testicular pain caused by the anticipation of a tedious task.
    613
  98. THESE ARE ALWAYS SO SATISFYING 🔧🎥
    583
  99. 13:00 As much as I enjoy Gav's front flips and tree dives on the OG giant balloon, I will never not love Dan's journey from standing in a flower pot, to being a weird genie, Jabba the Hutt, and a slug with knees until ultimately being birthed in his boxers from a human sized womb and flooding the creek.
    572
  100. Top shelf content
    551
  101. I’m glad y’all could do something together again but sad Dan has his broken wrist again-before
    543
  102. I love the stupid time travel bit, you could have just said it's old footage but you made a gag out of it and i love it. It's one of the things that makes this channel stand out as one of the best on youtube
    488
  103. GUYS, you made me cry! Wasn't expecting that reaction. 😂😭❤️ This channel has literally gotten me through the last few years. Gav, you've done such an extraordinary job on your own, it might have felt like the Dark Times but your content was anything but. Seeing you both together again and genuinely joyful just makes the world feel one step closer to "normal" again, whatever that is!
    432
  104. Mind blowing! Wonder how long a sneeze would take?! ⏱️ 🎥
    393
  105. Might be one of the nicest videos, visually, ever made on YouTube. The edits, cuts, little moments... Brilliant video.
    380
  106. Ever since we got a Phantom v2511 my respect for your videos quadrupled. Takes so much more time than I thought lol
    369
  107. 3:06: "Let's call it a 1000, it probably isn't a 1000." Well I counted 30 rows and 30 columns, so it seems to be 900. Which is still INSANE. 3:12: "Let's call it 900." Bruh... 6:12: Ok, so final total: 960 mouse traps, you're absolutely mad Gavin!
    351
  108. "There is nothing of value left in this video" is refreshingly honest tbh.....
    323
  109. Seeing undeveloped film is deeply disturbing. I need to have a rest to recover from this. Around 6:08 I had an unstoppable urge to subscribe to this channel. Which was odd because I've been subscribed for ages.
    314
  110. One of my favorite subjects to film! Love seeing these incredibly high frame rates.
    297
  111. There's something strangely familiar about all this... hahah. If our little web show, "Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?" was still around today - this is exactly the kind of shit Jory and I would likely be up to - so thanks for doing this. So cool to see, as usual. Hope you two are doing well 🙂
    277
  112. That was... fowl.
    245
  113. 6:10 "Do you know that bit on Lord of the Rings, when they're in 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐡.. and Peregrin 𝗧𝘂𝘂𝗸 knocks that bucket over" Yes Dan, I do remember. It was right before Gandarf, Jim-Lee, Leg o' Lass along with AirGone™ and the others, had to fight the goblets and a cavemole.
    201
  114. When The Slow Mo Guys, upload a video you stop everything you're doing.
    191
  115. i could literally stare at this FOREVER - incredible!
    189
  116. I loved this video :) Amazing how stable that Bolt robot arm is at these magnifications.
    175
  117. This reminds me of a song.... but I forget Who it's by.
    157
  118. There's always something faster, regardless the framerate 🤯 What a great video, I'll rewatch this several times the coming year(s)...
    145
  119. Love everything about this--the sound, the edit, the whole attitude. It doesn't come close to the wildest or flashiest SMG videos, but I think it might well be one of the best.
    142
  120. Amazing shot from the mirror! (And very subtle joke at the end...)
    140
  121. It looks like a rainbow walked into spinning helicopter blades
    133
  122. After seeing your previous videos on various screens, this completely blew my mind. It's so different! I opened this video thinking "well how different can it possibly be", and you sure showed me. Thank you for continuing to point Phantoms at everyday items, the results are so fascinating. PS: Nice to see a few seconds of Dan in the sponsorship 😂
    81
  123. I'm curious as to the amount of energy transferred to his head in the second shot. Did you guys happen to weigh the ball when it had the water, or could you tell me what % of the ball was filled? From how it was floating on the water it looked to be 1/2 or maybe 5/8 filled, but that could be misleading. Air compresses with increasing pressure, whereas the liquid water doesn't really compress (noticeably, anyway). This means that the buoyancy of the ball depends on the pressure within, a variable that we don't know. So I'm going to start with Assumptions: The ball is a size 5 (22.5 cm diameter, 425 g empty), and filled 5/8 full with water (3/8 air) by volume, at a total pressure of 13 PSI (0.885 atm). Also, going from Gav's comment; ''it's like bloody 30 degrees out here, 35 degrees'', we'll say 30 C. The volume inside the ball = 5964 cm^3 Volume_water = (5/8)*5964 = 3727 cm^3 Volume_air = (3/8)*5964 = 2237 cm^3 So the total mass of the ball is M_air + M_water + M_ball = M_total 2237cm^3*(0.001225g/cm^3) + 3727cm^3*(1g/cm^3) + 425g = M_total M_total = 4155 g or ~4.16 kg I downloaded the video and went through frame by frame to track the movement of the ball, and for the second throw, it seemed to be traveling at about 5.1 meters per second. You can also notice that after hitting Dan's head, the ball proceeds to fall nearly straight down, meaning all the kinetic energy of the ball was transferred to Dan's body. So, total kinetic energy = KE_total = (1/2)mv^2 =(1/2)(4.16kg)(5.1 m/s)^2 = 54 kgm^2/s^2 or 54 Joules of energy! Let me know if anyone has any other insights, or if I made mistakes/assumptions that should be corrected. =) that was fun.
    70
  124. Love the detailed sound design on this one!
    57
  125. This has to legitimately be one of the best videos ever made. The idea in an of itself is highly fascinating, but the execution is absolutely top notch and makes it worthy of being preserved in some sort of museum.
    48
  126. Thank you for doing this. I must have misunderstood the instructions on my pen and your video made me go back and reread the instructions to get it right. I've never had to administer the pen but I'd sure hate to have a failure when I needed it most. Thanks again
    41
  127. Always a wonderful day when Gav and Dan upload a new video! Thanks for always satisfying our very specific curiosities.
    40
  128. Skip to 6:16 if you're just here for Dan's mum.
    21
  129. If I could get this comment ‘pinned’ that’s would be ‘baller’
    16
  130. I was thinking the same thing - thanks so much for the shout-out 😀 And thanks to everyone else here for the kind words!
    16
  131. I love how Gav couldn't contain his reaction when rewinding the footage. I know in the behind the scenes footage he mentioned that he tries not to digest anything that actually happened, but this time was just too much. Thanks for leaving that in.
    14
  132. "Make sure you subscribe", sorry, to late, subscribed long ago. :P
    12
  133. Thank you for including the fractions of an inch measurements, that was very helpful.

  134. welcome to the colinfurze channel vibe

  137. 10 years on youtube and still producing bangers.

  138. HOW did I not see this video yet? I hoped you’d film this, not knowing you filmed it 2 years ago 😁

  139. This gave me Posy vibes

  140. On average the Records took 1.26 seconds for one full rotation. The video was shot at 12'500 fps, which divided by 60fps playback speed, gives a factor of 208. Considering one revolution took 1.26 seconds and the circumference is 94.2 cm, the vinyl records most outer pieces move at 74.7cm/s * 208 = 15600 cm/s, 156m/s, or 561km/h. Yup thats fast. The time per revolution was estimated by playing the footage from 11:56 at .25 speed and then dividing the time taken by 4. Any miscalculations or mistakes are welcome to be corrected :)

  141. I cant believe I missed you two, i even looked directly at you! I was the Gorilla! Defo would of confirmed your running down a mountain theory 😂

  142. Me: haha it's like Gavin is mark Nutt Gavin at 3:22 Me: OF. COURSE. HE. WOULD.

  143. "Will you start the fans, please!"

  144. The bullet piercing the playing card did not look real. What a wondrous world we live in.

  145. I'm suing for my likeness
    2
  146. Wow this is incredibly cool.
    2
  147. Appreciate the drivel warning, lads! Made sure to stay until the end! Never underestimate how much we enjoy your banter!
    2
  148. @8:32 and specifically, 8:34, one can see the impact of the cue ball on the far center left of the screen in the quarry, just below the rock pile. a puff of dust appears
    2
  149. Making highlights clip in a video shot with a shutter speed of 2.666µs and the probe lens' aperture is impressive, even for an explosion.

  150. the thing is theres no need to be subbed to these guys (i am though) because everything goes onto the trending page anyway

  151. From the Jackie Chan Coin Challenge to the Blue Man Group.....All for a Job at RT.....Weird world we live in.

  152. glad you decided to keep the beard.....i think

  153. I can watch these videos all day long!!!

  154. Who need a shotgun when you have a popcorn maker?

  155. Huge pinball nut here. I own several and I'm ranked almost in the top 1000 in the world. I always wondered why a live catch worked. Thanks to your video, now I have reason to believe it's the rubber separating from the flipper bat! wow! I had no idea! Thank you for making this video!
    1
  156. I have a 1080p monitor and watched a drop at all the resolutions. I am amazed at how much the bitrate helps. 1080p is noticeably much worse than 1440p and that is noticeably worse than 4k and 8K was better than 4k. Bitrate has a huge role in the watching experience. so if you have a 1080p monitor still watch at a higher resolution.

  157. If there was an option to give two likes, this one deserves it.

  158. It looks like one of those early Nvidia Physx cloth tearings. In like Mirror's edge on PC and stuff

  159. He tamped it down with the pool cue 🤣

  160. 5:55 TACTICAL DAN INBOUND!

  161. Never seen such floppy flipper rubbers--thanks for catching that! Dual-action flippers (and buttons) allow good players to trap a ball on one flipper while flipping the upper flipper as needed during multiball.

  168. Flexing right away with 1.75 Million fps... And for good reason too. Awesome 😎 A logical follow up would be one of those old vector screen games...

  170. And yet another video that begs the question: *When will we get the 4K blu ray of “Best Of the Slow Mo Guys?”*

  172. Out of the list of "things we've heard of", why did Penalli Pens make me laugh so much? That's a real blast from the past.

  173. At a place where I worked early on my career we needed a fast movie camera and ended up buying one with a maximum speed of 1700 frames per second. It had other speeds, but this 1700/s was something that it reached just by the end of the film, having accelerated during the entire filming time.. And how did IT MANAGE TO AVOID BLUR? It used an octagon mirror (or possibly a prism?) that followed the film. The next segment started the next frame just when the previous one was at its end of its frame. To aid in analysis, there were some time marks flashed to the edge of the film at speed independent (real time) rate. Also, the film was over-exposed at the beginning. But somehow it produced useful information. It revealed that our millisecond "synchronized" movement at the ends of a 5" diameter steel shaft were actually not well synchronized and the shaft was suffering torsional vibrations due to a tiny mismatch of the triggers between the two hydraulic cylinders, one at each end. Oh well...As a side note, we found that hydraulic oils had their own issues. A mineral oil viscosity increased at temperatures below the freezing point and trying silicone oil was not good, because it was too compressible. Water would have been incompressible, but of course had even more drastic increase of "viscosity" at the freezing point.

  174. “Gnat’s popcorn” — I think you’ve invented a new bit of British slang. “That was really the gnat’s popcorn, mate!” I wonder what it means. 🤔
