Who was the best salesman for the NordVPN Holiday Season Deal?? Go to nordvpn.com/howridiculous to get a 2-year plan plus 1 additional month with a huge discount.

Please do a block of quartz at night!! It’s piezoelectric, so it arcs/sparks from electricity when crushed! Should look amazing!!
-
I too am slack-jawed that Gaunson’s “are we scraping the bottom of the barrel” got no reaction there was clear effort put into that delivery!
-
"Wheel -- Un -- Fortunate" might be my favorite Gaunson joke of all time.

Now try netherite

Lads, I think it’s time to bring back the see-saw… with the hammer launching items off it!
-
12:57 epic looking slo-mo into Herron choking on a fly
-
Just a heads up, those springs have crossed coils and have potential to slip past eachother kind of like when you snap your fingers. I worked for a spring manufacturing company for 6 years making high tensile springs with 1/2"+ diameter wire, the loads when comprsessed are in the thousands of pounds of pressure. Pro tip: be very careful with where they end up. 🙂

14:31 That rainbow forming was beautiful
-
I'm a fan of the wine barrel. The surge out from the cracks followed by a second blast when it hits. I think you can also see the delay in the shockwave shaking the camera.
-
17:54 best recording from GoPro in this video. It’s like those obsidian pieces flying like meteoroid flying in the universe!
-
Different color plastic pellets could be pressed by this into interesting designs if you make a mold to help form them. The pressure will generate enough heat to get the job done. The Legos gave me that idea.
-
From a strictly mechanical point of view, I really liked the springs. You could see that as the springs were compressing it didn't slow the hammer one bit, but as soon as the coils stacked solid, there was a massive hesitation in the hammer for an instant. The best looking one, my vote goes to the metal drum.
-
For me the water-filled barrel was the Slowie of the Day; the water coming out of the slats as the whole barrel compressed was so cool! Thanks for the great video guys! 🧡💜
-
I can't believe it's already (almost) been a whole year since this video was uploaded. It honestly feels like it hasn't been that long at all
-
9:21 The GoPro has been scarred for life 😂😂
-
Gaunsons face when no one laughed at his "bottom of the barrel" joke was PRICELESS
-
When smashing aerosol cans you need to have like a blow torch setup close by so it will auto ignite the butane used to pressurise them! Even more fun for the slowies. Edit: seeing as more people keep commenting... And I've commented this already I would expect if the guys did it they would take all precautions to make sure they didn't burn more of Australia away! Also I don't go around burning stuff so those precautions aren't something I've ever thought about.

14:14 - You actually can compress water. It was given the phrase “you can’t compress water” due to the impractical amount of compressive forces needed to actually compress water.
