do the fan blades light up? It'd be pretty cool if the fan blades lit up.

[–]DrMsTheLazySamurai 22 points23 points ago

or cover them in disco ball mirrors!

[–]bermanator820 13 points14 points ago

Dance party! UNCE UNCE UNCE...

[–]Sobertese 6 points7 points ago

Read that as "uncle uncle uncle"

Creepy as fuck

Or specular spheres

Welcome to the seizure room.

[–]llamaboyproductions -1 points0 points ago

I read that in Peter griffins voice.

[–]jackal858 32 points33 points ago

Having changed out many ceiling fans, I don't even know how this is achieved..?

[–]celticd208 9 points10 points ago

I blew a few mental fuses trying to figure it out, too...

[–]Bombardiers 7 points8 points ago

This would take a lot of skill to accomplish. I don't think you could make the lights work because the wiring would twist itself.

[–]celticd208 8 points9 points ago

It could be done, use brushes like from a motor. inner ring for ungrounded, outer ring for grounded, use the housing for grounding.

[–]Mightych 0 points1 point ago

Yup. All you'd need is a slip ring.

[–]a1gern0n 0 points1 point ago

Until I rechecked the GIF, I thought it might be the case that a GoPro camera or such was attached to the blade, with a nondescript ceiling/ fixture background. If the fan was run, the light would appear to rotate.

[–]NonPermissive 24 points25 points ago

I find myself using my "pay someone else to do it" skills too often.

[–]yellowpride 6 points7 points ago

Not as fun though.

[–]theLastHokage 14 points15 points ago

Get it spinning fast enough and you could start a rave.

[–]NonPermissive 13 points14 points ago

If you can't get it that fast, maybe just play some waltz.

I stared at it for a solid 7 seconds before I realized the issue. Anyone else? Just me? Alright.

[–]The_Warbler 0 points1 point ago

Took me about 5 seconds, then my brain went into overload.

[–]duBiYou 0 points1 point ago

I came into the comments for help. Didn't realize til after.

[–]guavainindia 1 point2 points ago

Nope. Me too. Maybe I should go to sleep.

[–]bubbles_says 9 points10 points ago

At least the ceiling appears to be still.

[–]MajeekRorschach 31 points32 points ago

If you think you can get upvotes by posting boobs then you sir are absolutely right.

[–]poptart2nd 12 points13 points ago

those aren't just boobs. those are kate upton's boobs. they are the holy grail of boob. show some respect, dammit.

Dear god we need the source for all the different videos

[–]HalpBogs 2 points3 points ago

Everybody DISCO!

[–]hongryghost 2 points3 points ago

Dude get different colored light bulbs and have a party room.

[–]The_Grave_digger 1 point2 points ago

It took me longer than I would like to admit to figure out what was wrong.

[–]nki30 0 points1 point ago

Same. I was waiting for something to fall off, then I realised.

[–]krispyKRAKEN 2 points3 points ago

now get different colored bulbs in each light and wait for night time

[–]MrMonocle_McTophat 2 points3 points ago

blatant copy paste from IMDB but its fitting

Tommy: Hey, what is this thing? Louis, Factory Worker: It's a buffer. I take all the small pieces that need smoothing and give'em a zap. Tommy: Cool, can I try? Louis, Factory Worker: Sure, give'er! [Tommy grinds a part with the buffer, it slips out of his hands and the wheel sends it flying across the factory] Louis, Factory Worker: Nice distance!

[–]TickleTh1sElmo 1 point2 points ago

I didn't realize what the problem was at first.

[–]saphophene 0 points1 point ago

ME NEITHER!

[–]LOLatyourdemise 2 points3 points ago

Put pointer lasers into the sockets. Patent as a exercise device for cats. Win all the money. Gamble all money away betting red 52 on casino roulette. Go into high level prostitution in order to have enough money to keep the lifestyle you are used to. Get arrested. Go into help group and rehab for drugs you are no doubt taking to forget the faces and the things they do to you. Acquire new mid level job whilst coming to terms with the things you have done and be accepting of your past while refusing to go back to it. Live out your days a happy person. Your life is set.

[–]hobobong 0 points1 point ago

Excuse me sir! I do believe you have a repost here.

[–]Lee13412 0 points1 point ago

I stared at that way to long before I realized what was wrong with it

[–]LUSTYHAPPYCRACK 0 points1 point ago

You all keep calling it a repost and yet it somehow manages to reach the front pages? Explain that please

[–]irobert239 1 point2 points ago

I can't count how many times this has been reposted

[–]FreshZmen 3 points4 points ago

REPOST

[–]guitarplayer0171 -5 points-4 points ago

So?

[–]El_Rey_de_Reyes -1 points0 points ago

Holy crap, repost! Can we at least wait a week...

[–]juxtaposer43 0 points1 point ago

What? Your instant disco seems to be working great!

[–]Dtapman 0 points1 point ago

haha!

[–]darya521 1 point2 points ago

Would look awesome with the lights on.

[–]LupoAS 0 points1 point ago

I was waiting for it to fall off the ceiling...

[–]friskerwhisker 0 points1 point ago

Makes for a perfect party if you can wire them to be strobes.

[–]Seafoam_Tide 0 points1 point ago

On the bright side, you've got a great disco ball!

[–]AVagrant 0 points1 point ago

You had one job!

[–]bonesmccoy 0 points1 point ago

but....but how?

[–]imbenny 1 point2 points ago

i honestly think i'd rather this than having the fan functioning normally...

[–]JefferyFrank 0 points1 point ago

"Daddy I don't think my fan is working right." "Close enough son, now get me another beer."

[–]haleted 0 points1 point ago

I think mine are worse because I instantly thought "Hey, it works!"

Then, horrific sudden realization ensued.

[–]Ass_Dragon -1 points0 points ago

Think about it, everyone. In order for the lights to actually light, the wires that would go to them would twist up. That, or it would require a special design. Either this is completely on purpose, or OP is completely fucking retarded.

Edit: Not really you, OP. The person who made the gif.

[–]jawni 0 points1 point ago

[–]trippedoutfish -1 points0 points ago

This is some really solid stop motion. Very creative slightly moving the lights every take. I'd love to see more.

[–]TbanksIV 1 point2 points ago

Fan you are drunk.

[–]coloradogarrett 0 points1 point ago

It took me a few frames to even realize something was wrong

[–]NoAcronymsPlease 0 points1 point ago

Took me a couple of seconds to realize there ACTUALLY was something wrong with it. >_> ... There may be something wrong with me...

[–]Jos-postings 0 points1 point ago

Something's wrong with me. I didnt notice anything wrong until a couple of seconds of staring at it.

[–]1842morpho 0 points1 point ago

It took me like five seconds before I realized what was wrong.

[–]ghostfruit 0 points1 point ago

woah, dude.
you got the entire room to spin around those lights?

[–]sir5ur 0 points1 point ago

how the fuck..do you do that. ive installed so many fans lol and nothing like that even seems possible.

[–]Nyrb 0 points1 point ago

Nice disco lights man!

[–]TigressBurningBright 0 points1 point ago

Now all you need is colored lightbulbs and some disco balls

[–]AllWrong74 0 points1 point ago

I laughed, perhaps too hard, at this.

[–]ukiyoe 0 points1 point ago

PARTY AT PleaseObeyMeThanks' HOUSE!!!

[–]MrBurd 0 points1 point ago

This is me trying to fix the motor that spins the plate in the microwave, accidentally made it go warpspeed and fling the food around.

[–]algorithmiKitten 0 points1 point ago

I showed this to my mom. She is currently sobbing from laughter.

[–]minminkitten 0 points1 point ago

This made me laugh wayyyy harder than it should have.

[–]89rovi 0 points1 point ago

Disco Stu approves.

[–]newingtonnew 0 points1 point ago

DISCO. WOOOOOOO

[–]DammitJosh 0 points1 point ago

Quickly! Change the light bulbs to different colors and make your living room a Rave!

[–]TX_TOAST -3 points-2 points ago

Lmao! Yes! That's hilarious.

[–]poptart2nd 2 points3 points ago

thanks for sharing. why couldn't you have just upvoted it?

[–]TheHandheldTank 2 points3 points ago

So this is what, about the fourth time I've seen that this week?

[–]jumping_monkey 1 point2 points ago

Your DIY skills? Or the DIY skills of the original poster? I'm going to go with the latter. Don't pass off the content of others as your own.

[–]lucak98 -1 points0 points ago

I liked it the other time it was reposted... I think that it was repost #7... Somewhere around there.

[–]Barricaded_EDP -3 points-2 points ago

this deserves more love. upvote!

[–]Barricaded_EDP 0 points1 point ago

why the hell am i getting dowvoted? when i first saw this it had, like, 74 upvotes. Now that it has 1200+, implying people obviously agreed with me, I get donvoted?

[–]ekim1966 0 points1 point ago

I'm gonna start giggling now every time I see a ceiling fan. :>

[–]Infectious_Cockroach 0 points1 point ago

I once saw a kitten do something silly. Now every time I see a kitten, I burst up in laughter. Literally. No, seriously. I actually explode as laughs escape. It's difficult to get myself together again, but I manage.

[–]onthewayjdmba -4 points-3 points ago

I have seen it before, but just realized somebody had to rig it up to do that. The motor doesn't connect to the lights in any way so it's not as if this is a mistake.
