In Adverts All Things TV Mythbusters SNL Special Events
Personally, I'm ready to pack it in for the holidays. All I want to do is post some videos while eating cookies, preferably wearing sweatpants and sipping on some hot-chocolate-and-rum.
Fortunately the Mythbusters do not share my laziness. They made an elaborate holiday-themed Rube Goldberg machine.
I'm so attached to the Mythbusters. Every time Jamie snaps at Adam I cringe, or when Grant displays his enormous nerditude I'm ashamed/proud, just as if they were my real family. (Just kidding, family! Love ya! See ya soon!)
This reminds me of a very cool Rube Goldberg machine.
But I'm supposed be thinking about the holidays, not about cars. Linus?
The fact that you can buy Charlie Brown pathetic trees at Urban Outfitters does not take away from the sweetness of that video. That's impressive.
It also reminds of me of this, which is slightly less sweet, but much more hilarious — and applicable to everyday life.
That's all I've got. Don't forget to watch this again. It only gets funnier. And if you're still struggling to find the perfect gift, just remember step one: Cut a hole in the box.
Oh man. I love that Peanuts Saturday TV Funhouse. As Maggie can attest. I’ve been saying “What did we do” “I just waved my arms around” for weeks. That is actually Brad Pitt reading the news at the end.
And any discussion of Rube Goldberg devices is incomplete without The Way Things Go, which was released in 1987 and is 30 MINUTES LONG. I’ve seen the whole thing. It’s awesome. Here’s the first 7 minutes.
