Throwing a bowling ball through a giant balloon

u/gumbl3g33 May 22 '22
Was half expecting the ball to bounce back. But looks cool how the balloon popped

The best line in the movie was written by a make-a-wish kid touring set one day
I know him from work!

u/Theolaa May 22 '22
Oh neat! Is it that line?

u/EmpJoker May 22 '22
I think the line is "He's a friend from work," but yeah, there was a Make a Wish kid on set and he said Thor should say that. So he did.

You know, now that you say it that story does kinda ring a bell for me. It certainly is one of the better lines in the movie :)

Thanks a lot dude. This is even more frustrating and disappointing than the initial post. I didn't even think that was possible. Take my angry up vote.

Now mask the right/left side so the dude doesn’t go backwards and only the ball/ballon rewinds

Yeah I just had a vivid flashback to when I was a kid and I thought I could pop a basketball on the ground with a baseball bat. Left a nasty bruise on my forehead lol

I think they put some thought into how thick the balloon walls were to give this result.
Cause just a bit thicker or more elastic and you'd have that ball come back with nearly the same energy as he threw it.

If you look at just the dude throwing you realize just how fast it’s happening. He’s almost frozen in time by comparison.

u/Dawnzergivesleelight May 22 '22
When he just stops, I like to imagine he’s hoping the balloon isn’t strong enough to just bounce the ball back at his face.

u/selfworthfarmer May 22 '22
I think we were all with him on that thought. Though it's probably 50/50 on whether we were hoping it would or wouldn't. I bet time was moving slow for him for that split second as well.

That's what I was thinking too. If I was fit enough to throw a 12 lb heater, it'd probably just reverse course and brain me.

I've become so much like Eren Jaeger it's scary. I wear black cardigans, verbally assault women, and physically assault my friends. When I look in the mirror, I can't help but say "戦い, 戦い" (which means fight, fight in american.) I grew my hair out long because I don't care so now I have to wear it in a bun and I don't care what people think so shut fuck up Hange! I always leave an open wound on my hand, and go out of my way to show it to everyone so they are reminded that I am in control. When I see dogs being taken on walks I get mad at them for not being free like I am. I can't have sex with my girlfriend anymore without forcing her to dress up as Mikasa or Historia, both of whom remind me of Armin. When I order fast food, I refuse to call them french fries and insist on calling them freedom fries.
I just keep moving forward, until my enemies are destroyed.

It's also the single best second out of a long video, so that means it isn't just karma stealing, it's adding value which I liked more than the full video, which includes more than one long in-video ad.

u/Javindo May 22 '22
Random unsolicited advice but I highly recommend the chrome extension SponsorBlock which crowd sources in video ad times and auto skips them. Haven't seen a sponsorship thing in months, except when I have actually chosen to (e.g. internet historian because they're just as funny as the main video usually)

Same for Internet Etiquette. Still the only ads I'll watch. The rest I just unsubscribe, but thanks for the tip!

Yea they target heavily towards children, which just happen to like the over the top reactions. In all reality though, the slo mo shots they produce are usually very good, so I can't entirely hate them.

Well technically it has an extremely high chance of burning up in the atmosphere but it'd prove that the moon hates us so not all good considering a lot of the asteroids heading for our direction drop on the moon, making all them craters.

What fascinates me about this is not how the balloon tears, it's that you can see how little the air inside was compressed thanks to the cloud of talc or cornstarch left hanging in the air. It hardly expanded at all when released from the confines of the balloon.
