Gav and Dan have never been immensely happy with the kind of break a pool cue can provide, so they try something a little more serious.

    Truth be told, the outro with Dan doing his break looked really epic
  • @jitspoe
    Dan's ability to precisely hit targets with the most ridiculous arsenal is unparalleled.

    I absolutely love this channel. Why? Because it still is what it was a decade ago. Two guys filming themselves doing stuff in slow motion. Doesn't get more genuine than this.
  • "Let's just move the pool table over here" Snap cut of them standing in between the table and the canon with MAYBE 3 meters in between "Yeah, that is a lot closer" was very topgear-esque and it really tickled me
  • @PierceArner
    Oh my gods, that cannon perspective gag was FLAWLESSLY executed. Hahaha!

    And when the dust settles and the ringing in all the patron's ears died down, Big Jim emerged from the wreckage of the bar and said "Right, then. I'm stripes. Your shot."
  • @TimeBucks
    This was both awesome and hilarious!

    12:20 is the break. Around twenty years ago I was playing pool at a friend’s house, in his basement. On my second break of the night, the cue flew up in the air several feet and split in half, almost dead middle. The top half flew past my friend’s head and the bottom half hovered in the air for a split second. It landed on the middle of the table and spun, just like a top, for what seemed like a minute but was at least 20 seconds or more. I’ve been playing pool for over 40 years and have never seen anything like that before and haven’t since. He doesn’t have that table anymore but the cue ball is still down there on his shelf.
  • These 2 silly best friends geeking over slow motion and physics are a huge part of my childhood I love them!!!
  • @theslowmoguys
    I'm honestly still a little blown away that the black ball happened to stay on the table after that.
  • @MsEco13
    I love that even though these two have been doing these videos for so many years, we don't detect anything jaded or bored about their attitudes. They still are just so delighted by whatever the results are.
  • @jtluttermoser
    the fact that they almost potted the 8 ball off break makes this so much better
  • @bodugok
    I love how the first shot went exactly how Gav predicted and the next shot went exactly how Dan predicted.
  • @garritsen3783
    i can't stop laughing and being blown away at the same time, this is soo fascinating
