All Stretch Armstrongs Have the Same Weakness at 2000FPS - The Slow Mo Guys

I can only imagine what it would've been like if the toys from Toy Story looked out the window towards Sid's house and saw these two doing this to poor Stretch Armstrong. xD

Dan holding a water logged Stretch Armstrong toy like a teddy bear was the last thing I expected to see lol.

The "discovery" was absolutely hilarious. I noticed that in the slow mo the first times around. I think it's because the ink used very slightly weakens the rubber material.

I'm betting that they use a syringe to fill it with the gelled corn syrup, and that's the point of weakness when it's stretched to the limit.

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!

When I was a kid, I had a Stretch Armstrong. My younger brother and I wanted to see how far we could stretch the guy. At the top of the stairs was a landing that overlooked the stairs. My brother sat on the landing and held Armstrong’s hands while I want to the bottom of the stairs and grabbed his feet. Just as I started to swing, Armstrong ruptured on his side, from his elbow to his hip. That slimy sticky goo went everywhere: in my hair, on my face, and into the carpet on the stairs. It was a disgusting mess and great fun.

I had to look at that thumbnail for a few seconds to finally understand what I was looking at

I actually did have a stretch armstrong as a kid (He did not look like the one you have now, he was 15" tall and had a black shirt on.) And I actually pulled and stretched it so much that it ripped open a little bit and that's how I found out they had that thick, sticky, syrupy stuff inside to give it that unique tactile feeling it had. It was an extremely satisfying toy to play with. One of the all time greats.

I'm so glad Gavin noticed that in editing. I noticed it immediately and cry laughed for about 10 minutes

The audio track choice for that final Stretch Armstrong was really one of the best things you guys have ever done. And you guys have been consistently amazing since day one so that's a high bar.

Just had an idea for a video- woodwork on a lathe. It spins fast, chips fly everywhere, and I’d be very interested to see how exactly the wood breaks up during the process

I would suspect that the weakness is caused from the injection of the blue coloring into the mould.

You can really tell that Gav is the best in the business when it comes to slo-mo. The amount of times he has to guess where the focal point of the shot is gonna be and then absolutely NAILS IT the first time is incredible. Especially for just silly backyard projects like this that barely make a dent in his income.

That last zoomed shot was legitimately beautiful when it popped. You guys never disappoint

When Stretch Armstrong said he wanted his body donated to science I don't think he expected this to be an experiment it'd be used for.

Not sure if this has been suggested before, but a SloMoGuys/NileRed collaboration would be amazing! Would love to see more crazy chemical reactions in top tier slow mo

This is easily passable as an episode from the mid 2010s. And I couldn't be happier about it.

Honestly, this feels like an early 2010s YouTube video and it’s giving me so much nostalgia.

As I recall, the original Stretch Armstrong dolls were significantly larger than the modern ones. Also, this would be a fascinating physics demo. Thanks guys!

I would love to see a "Dan's revenge" series where Gav is the one doing all the stunts for a change 😀
