um, video source?

[–]Teekoo 190 points191 points ago

Yeah, what the fuck. Top 10 comments are jokes or some other bullshit while nobody has provided the context.

[–]krowface 93 points94 points ago

Welcome to Reddit, the Tosh 2.0 of the internet.

[–]DBerwick 30 points31 points ago

And he gets his content from Reddit. The cycle is complete.

[–]krowface 10 points11 points ago

Can't wait to see this on the next episode.

[–]DDDowney 42 points43 points ago

I was waiting for that too, instead I get shitty puns and RES comments.

[–]munchauzen 12 points13 points ago

probably liquid nitrogen

[–]1PantherA33 18 points19 points ago

Or a gorilla glass commercial.

[–]Legion_of_Bunnies 4 points5 points ago

Yeah...that's most comments nowadays...people making shitty jokes trying to get karma instead of actually commenting on the content.

I came to expect it, because you said that you didn't expect it. Weird how that works.

[–]dufflad 217 points218 points ago

Good thing by the time I got to the tab it was in I forgot the title, otherwise yeah title ruins it.

[–]sm3llofholland 98 points99 points ago

glad to see other people just open a bunch of tabs and click through them, people ridiculed me when I told them:(

They laughed at you. But you will have the last laugh.

[–]zakificus 15 points16 points ago

I do that all the time, though it always annoyed me when the title was what really made the gif/image great. Then I gotta go back and count the purple links backwards to figure out what I'm looking at haha

[–]A1ka1inE 7 points8 points ago

You are not alone.

[–]wdalphin -1 points0 points ago

Really the build up ruins it. Like, maybe at first you'd think, "Oh, they're going to smash things!" but then as the heavy items get closer and closer and it cuts more frequently, you start to realize, "That hammer is going to explode."

[–]RyanLikesyoface 14 points15 points ago

It's like when someone says "You'll never get the twist!" And you get it before it's revealed because that ass hole told you there was a twist. Telling someone there's a twist is almost as bad as telling them what the twist is.

[–]prisonstrength 15 points16 points ago

I just thought they were all going to miss.

[–]THEMACGOD 6 points7 points ago

See... I expected something to be different (like what happened) because they basically gave away the punchline: Expect the unexpected.

In this case, they expectceptioned me.

[–]liverandfunyuns 12 points13 points ago

I expected dicks.

Am I on the right Internet?

why the fuck did i click on it. why? purple link of shame

[–]makopolo2001 11 points12 points ago

I actually found it quite hilarious!

[–]supn9 2 points3 points ago

I was still hoping, but i was expecting.

[–]Alexm920 439 points440 points ago

Title: "Things being broken" => Surprise.

Title: "Didn't expect that" => Expected that.

[–]murki 7 points8 points ago

Reminded me of the UNKLE video

[–]masterpLZ 5 points6 points ago

You should make a guide on how to succed in your title on Reddit.

[–]TrueMilli 485 points486 points ago

The title ruined everything.

HOLY SHIT! I just realized the professor has a boner when he is being propelled to the wall! I saw it while the gif was loading.

[–]Bandit1379 2 points3 points ago

It's not in the actual opening, whoever edited the gif together did it.

[–]nate800 12 points13 points ago

agreed.

[–]HyperCalcium 45 points46 points ago

What happens in that world if you let an egg hit the ground?

[–]eatsox117 16 points17 points ago

What is this from?

[–]HyperCalcium 19 points20 points ago

A game called "Obsidian", an older Mac adventure game. The whole advertisement is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiztCIDlcYM

They had some very strange ads, this one always stuck with me, had to create a .gif of it.

[–]sinoth 4 points5 points ago

The game was for PC as well. This ad always stuck with me, too. I also liked the magazine ad with an invisible bridge showing up in a reflection over a river with the tagline "your rules do not apply here." Such a good ad campaign... a shame the game didn't sell well!

Has anyone actually played it? I played some sort of demo, but never the full game. Is it worth dusting off to complete?

[–]The_Angry_Clown 111 points112 points ago

I was expecting this. (nsfw)

Edit: Only nsfw if your boss doesn't like flying dildos.

[–]Sinnic 52 points53 points ago

Ah, the graceful flight of a dildo.

[–]MistakenSanity 22 points23 points ago

Sometimes at work i am still tempted to click the NSFW links. Based on your comment I think I shall pass this time.

[–]Tmeesseman 21 points22 points ago

It really isn't that bad. Just a high-speed camera on a dildo being launched at some dude's face.

[–]makopolo2001 4 points5 points ago

He looks a lot like Gaben.

[–]Skizmanic 2 points3 points ago

That's when I load it up on my phone.

[–]Mogwoggle 2 points3 points ago

Rick Kosick being hit in the face with a flying dildo (opening scene of Jackass 2 or 3, can't remember which one)

[–]camnui 0 points1 point ago

You should get thumbnail zoom... it helps because you never get a purple link if its a singular image.

[–]Dammit81 11 points12 points ago

[–]ThatSawyer 4 points5 points ago

Whats that on his head? Is it an apple? Was the dildo supposed to hit the apple? If so, it's even funnier.

[–]kidbearbearkidbear 110 points111 points ago

If that egg ever hatches, we're all fucked.

[–]djramrod 3 points4 points ago

Actually the chicken that came from that egg is this guy

[–]Duvo 16 points17 points ago

how the hell did they make this?

[–]nofelix 32 points33 points ago

The bowlling ball isn't real; real ones have a core. So assuming it isn't CGI, which I don't think it is, they've used a fake ball with explosives in it. Same for the other items. Like that hammer clearly isn't made of steel. So my bet is squibs. And the vase is steel.

[–]Duvo 12 points13 points ago

Whatever they did, they did it damn well

[–]findearnmakesteal 12 points13 points ago

The brick looked like it was made of sawdust, too. Or some sort of soft material. And as you said, the other items clearly weren't real either. The bowling ball looked like cake.

[–]teusz16 8 points9 points ago

The glass even had water in it. I'm confused as well.

[–]thekaleb 4 points5 points ago

Even the vase had water in it.

[–]teusz16 8 points9 points ago

Yea but it's easier to make a durable vase. That glass was see-through. Fuck.

[–]LBK2013 8 points9 points ago

Plastic

[–]Carpet_Diver 6 points7 points ago

Some very nice CGI. The wooden handle of the hammer and the bowling ball have crappy textures, but otherwise, damn good CGI.

All of the failures appear to be brittle, rather than plastic, this is because (I imagine) it is easier to render... you don't need finite element modelling.

[–]Duvo 3 points4 points ago

Damn, it probably is cgi, but I really wanted it to be real. In any case, it's damn good cgi and whoever made it would be proud to see us all make sense of it

[–]Super_Fly_TNT 209 points210 points ago

[–]dwjref 6 points7 points ago

I'm listening to William Shatner's album that was arranged by Ben Folds right now, so I read your reply as: "Did that just...Shatner expectations!?" And it's none of your business why I'm listening to William Shatner

[–]Gooberpatrol66 5 points6 points ago

Dude, you don't need a reason to listen to William Shatner.

[–]Neafie2 6 points7 points ago

I'd say it broke boundaries.

[–]GreenStorm 36 points37 points ago

That should be a Viagra ad.

[–]BlueMunky 27 points28 points ago

"Viagra, makes your dick so hard, it'll explode!"

Somehow I don't think that would work.

[–]GreenStorm 11 points12 points ago

It's supposed to be the other way around.

Viagra makes your limby dick indestructible (i.e. the vase which destroys a hammer).

[–]peetotin 5 points6 points ago

No, that's exactly how Viagra works.

[–]eyereport 9 points10 points ago

That has to be an ad for an insurance company.

[–]gecko2222 2 points3 points ago

That is exactly what I was thinking.

[–]nachosnax 26 points27 points ago

I think "Shatters Expectations" would have been a better title.

[–]roflbarn 7 points8 points ago

I happened to be listening to The Funeral by Band of Horses while looking at this gif, was an awesome combination!

[–]MeowNeko 0 points1 point ago

[–]Dickfore 4 points5 points ago

[–]PlasticSky 2 points3 points ago

When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

[–]sifon187 15 points16 points ago

I assume they dropped the brick, bat, etc in liquid nitrogen.

[–]wellingtonbear 28 points29 points ago

I might be wrong because I am too lazy to confirm what I am about to say, but liquid nitrogen doesn't just automatically make everything into an ice cube that can easily shatter. You can only shatter objects that contain or are mostly liquid. The liquid nitrogen changes the contained liquid into a solid state, which is then able to shatter as ice would.

So since a bowling ball, baseball bat, hammer, etc aren't made up of liquid, they would not shatter easily (or more spectacularly) just because they have been dipped in liquid nitrogen, they would just get very cold.

My guess is these are just props if what I think I know about liquid nitrogen is correct.

[–]Tofusteak 17 points18 points ago

Also, even if they were frozen in liquid nitrogen, the things they collided with would still break. A standard wine glass would not be unfazed by a frozen bowling ball.

[–]pixelgrunt 6 points7 points ago

These remind me of the ending of this UNKLE video. I still get chills every time I watch it.

[–]yoshibigbawss -1 points0 points ago

I expected it because you stated that you didn't,

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

I expected that, but that's because this reminds me of a great old ad I saw on TV, there is was a claw hammer vs. a light bulb, and the hammer explodes when it hits the light bulb. It was actually more dramatic, because it was a nice clear continuous shot (with SFX and compositing), without all these rapid-fire edits, like in this gif. Still neat, though!
