Not all that different and really, really old. :)

Pythagoras Switch with a band!

I’m pretty sure Ok Go’s treadmill music video for Here It Goes Again was also a single take video. It’s their thing.

I love how the mayhem increases as it goes along.

Sure, people are all, “ha ha” isn’t it funny to think Abraham Lincoln is a bad ass.

What they don’t know? That Lincoln was in fact actually a bad ass, who would gladly duel your sorry ass. With guns? Hell no, broadswords in a pit.

I think it’s more like one shot video, since I’m pretty sure it’s not all one take. One take would imply they only filmed it once and did it perfectly the first time through. I have the feeling they probably had multiple takes on the treadmill one at the least though it’s all one continuous shot.

Another clever music video that will appeal more to art aficionados than to Rube Goldberg aficionados: 70 Million by Hold Your Horses

Yes, that that THAT THAT THAT FUCKING THAT is the reason for humanity. THAT. FUCKING THAT. FUCKING THAT WAS AWESOME AND WHAT I LOVE ABOUT REALITY FUCKING THAT.

H.

p.s. Sorry, my brain is apparently wired for Goldberg machines. I dream up parts of them nightly.

Someday I’d like to totally disrespect Rube Goldberg; make a complete mockery of everything he stood for. I’d have him spinning in his grave. Which would knock a domino off the headstone, that would hit a ball, that would roll down a ramp…

Some new ones from the car forum.

Almost afraid to post this guy. Seems to be some sort of comedy bit characters under the YouTube name Vizual Candi. Err…

In preparation for my upcoming Christopher Walken movie fest, I’m scouring for clips to show, and am always reminded of this one.

Christopher Walken Shoots Down a Plane

Lego The Force Unleashed

Wilhelm scream at 00:27

Now that’s attention to detail!

Memes and temes, TED talk by Susan Blackmore. Absolutely fascinating, and a little scary.

Ben Stiller answers stupid questions in Berlin (why is it always the German journalists?)

Nice. I prefer to imagine the first guy is Werner Herzog.
