  • MississippiLife, on 04/30/2008, -4/+16Awesome video.
    Is it actually 1 shot?
    Sure looks like it.
    Cool indeed.
    • t0ny, on 04/30/2008, -2/+31Ya but it took a ton of tries.
      Behind The Scenes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fnk8mD9ZUU&NR=1
    • Borgcube636, on 04/30/2008, -7/+1No, they photoshopped the video every 5 seconds, which is a pretty impressive feat to achieve using photoshop considering no one has done it before.
    • glasnostic, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2http://youtube.com/watch?v=0mrF6cc0FeA

      PythagoraSwitch is my favorite of this kind of stuff..
    • heypetray, on 04/30/2008, -0/+3Was that a haiku?
      /s
    • picalicious, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Genius, if I had random rolls of paper around...I'd buy a clustarack.
    • stacigh, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1This was totally filmed in a Kinko's location. We use the same equipment where I work... and we have just about the same amount of time on our hands to figure out a Rube Goldberg machine. Bad ass video!! I'm so proud of the grommet work. ;)
      • stacigh, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1And then, of course, I watch the making of. Well I guess it wasn't filmed in a Kinko's but they have all the same equipment that we use. Which is pretty coincidental...
  • Cgeoffrion, on 04/30/2008, -4/+91should have killed a guy at the end
    • Tiak, on 04/30/2008, -3/+11Can it really be said to be murder if a rube goldberg machine gives you 30 degrees of separation from the murder weapon?
  • orangekid13, on 04/30/2008, -5/+42they obviously need a promo commercial, they don't have anything to do but sit around and make Rube Goldberg machines...
    • Joshuarr, on 04/30/2008, -10/+4Seriously, I would never use their services - Not only is their shop a mess, but they're total slackers.
      • McBradd, on 04/30/2008, -3/+5Dude, they're selling that one rack you see at the very end, and making fun of messy print shops... pay attention.
        ~OR~ if that was an attempt at humor, be funnier!
        • Tiak, on 04/30/2008, -4/+2Yes, that's exactly what they're selling... Though it seems to be a rather strange product to go viral with... Are print shop owners a major internet demographic now?
      • chaoswings, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2*****
      • Joshuarr, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1/s
        (sorry)
    • CrashKinkaide, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2The way the trade show market is slumping, I imagine a lot of print shops have this kind of free time. Including the one I just got laid off from.
  • Dirtynoodle111, on 04/30/2008, -2/+9Badass.
  • Waredgo, on 04/30/2008, -2/+13I love this stuff!!
    How many takes did it, um, take?
  • super8mtb, on 04/30/2008, -2/+26I found this FAR more entertaining than the big college competitions. straight forward badass rube goldbergness.
    • aywwts4, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4Yeah, those college machines were terrible. They completely missed the point of using simple everyday objects in their machine, That's what makes it so cool..

      If your nailing boards together or spending most of your time building and painting cute little dioramas you are probably doing it wrong.
    • kcap122, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Honda's vid
      http://youtube.com/watch?v=6bk0Hw8-Xno
  • greatgatsbyII, on 04/30/2008, -1/+39I need to do that in my office instead of reading digg all day.
  • poopdigger, on 04/30/2008, -0/+15Whoever set that up, I want their job. please?
    • Tiak, on 04/30/2008, -1/+9You want to spend days cleaning up ink and resetting shelves to get a better take?
  • ivankraszl, on 04/30/2008, -10/+2This is of course a mock of the award winning Honda Cog commercial.
    http://adsoftheworld.com/media/tv/honda_cog
  • BabyHulk, on 04/30/2008, -24/+4yet another useless video. AND ITS AN AD!!! buried for being lame
  • dazparkour, on 04/30/2008, -3/+55So, who knew, without looking it up, that the ad was for the round spikey things in the floor at the end that the paper rolls fell on?
    • smoger, on 04/30/2008, -0/+7i actually did, but then i run a vinyl business.. so i'm somewhat familiar with the products out there
    • NoValidTitle, on 04/30/2008, -1/+14It was pretty obvious to me and I'm not in the printing business...
    • glasnostic, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4me... but i have worked in a print shop..

      i'm noticing a trend.
    • Nick519, on 04/30/2008, -3/+1grrr, i can't believe i was suckered into watching an AD...!
    • thecheat1, on 04/30/2008, -1/+3I knew and I have no print shop experience.
    • luke374, on 04/30/2008, -0/+10I didn't know and I'm Johannes Gutenberg.
  • bobbknight, on 04/30/2008, -14/+2Spam
  • scabbers, on 04/30/2008, -13/+4It seems amazing all the way up till the end when you realize it was just another lame professional viral video.
    • JesperL, on 04/30/2008, -1/+21Except it was still amazing.
      • scabbers, on 04/30/2008, -6/+2When you finally get laid, you're going to be REALLY impressed.
  • Hangly, on 04/30/2008, -1/+5Man, how many takes did it take to get the tape measure to hit the bottle that perfectly.
  • georgewellsca, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2Reminds me of "Build a better mousetrap" - That's Awesome!
  • shakbhaji, on 04/30/2008, -5/+3*****
  • theugly709, on 04/30/2008, -11/+0Buried for being a ripoff of "The Way Things Go" not the Honda Cog.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_Things_Go
  • Asvetic, on 04/30/2008, -1/+3Amazed, then I realized it was a commercial... so, I sent it to my printers.
  • rayearth42, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1It's more likely than you think.
  • verynegative, on 04/30/2008, -1/+0yep, that happens on my print shop all the time...
  • crushtheenemy, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2too bad their site is down!
  • kelmaster1, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2very well done, great advertising idea.
  • Apocolypse007, on 04/30/2008, -1/+0I thought it was good but rather anticlimactic. It should kick some guy in the balls at the end, then it'd be perfect!
  • monospaced, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6I hate it when that happens
  • kingv, on 04/30/2008, -1/+6It needs more cowbell
  • Borgcube636, on 04/30/2008, -1/+4I'd hate to clean that up.
    • tjobe, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1The producers said it took 98 takes to get that one shot and 45 minutes of clean-up each time.
  • BuddingMonkey, on 04/30/2008, -0/+6Behind the scenes:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fnk8mD9ZUU&NR=1
  • Meralus, on 04/30/2008, -1/+0woooow! how cool is that?
  • DeadlyAlpaca, on 04/30/2008, -2/+0A solid 80-ish % of these comments are terrible.

    Including mine, of course.
  • nico623, on 04/30/2008, -0/+4Brick killed a guy..
  • cpbrown, on 04/30/2008, -1/+2Reminds me a little bit of that honda ad!!!

    /irony
  • qwkredfox, on 04/30/2008, -1/+1I work in a print shop... this's funnnnnnnnnnny! :D
    • diggerphelps, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2I manage a print shop.
      Get back to work!
  • funk13, on 04/30/2008, -1/+0if you go through all that trouble to set up a Rube Goldberg machine, shouldn't you have taken the time to rent a steady cam? if it's worth doing, then it's worth doing right.

    at any rate... dugg for being awesome and good use work time.
    • bluesatin, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Since it's supposed to be a viral video, it's usually a good idea to make it look like it's been filmed by an amateur, less commercial looking I guess?
  • alphonseragusa, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1I worked in a print shop during college. Good times.
  • sircomix, on 04/30/2008, -0/+1Man, that whole shelf with packing peanuts went .

    cleaning up afterwards musta been a beeeeeetch
  • marksands07, on 04/30/2008, -4/+2..But will it blend?
  • cheesenuggets1, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2This reminds me of something... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYabfifhEPE
  • Nashief, on 07/07/2008, -0/+0Wow, awesome video. That must have been lots of work having to set that up.
    Where do people come up with such cool ideas?
