It’s time to ask the age-old question. – Will it pinata? – Let’s talk about that? (groovy theme music) Good mythical morning. – Happy Cinco de Mayo, you know what? Exactly three years ago today, we released the very first Will It episode, Will It Taco? – Every burger should be in a taco. – Why are we doing pine needles? – Because there’s lots of em to go around. (Link retching) – And what started with that episode has changed our taste buds, our stomachs, and our lives, forever. – Yes it has. But today we’re not gonna be looking down at our plates, no. We are going to be looking up into the skies at candy-filled objects suspended on ropes that we are going to assault with bats. It’s time for, – [Together] Will It Pinata? – Okay, here we are in the pinata zone. – And the way we’re gonna figure out whether or not something, the way we are going to figure out whether or not something pinatas is if when struck, it lets some candy out in a semi-satisfying manner. – Right, so I’m gonna be lowering first. Obviously, you’re gonna be pinataing first, – I have the bat. – Batting first. So first up we have the melonata. It’s a watermelon which is basically begging to be pinata-ed. I mean you hollow this thing out, put some candy in there, and I’m thinking this is gonna be a blast, right? But Chase come on in, give him the rudimentary spin and put him on his mark, oh my goodness. There’s some danger involved in this episode. – Haven’t been to the batting cage in a while. – You been to any birthday parties? – Yeah, but I usually am not the one doing the striking of the pinata, I’m the one setting it up. You ready? – Yeah. Woop! – Strike one. – Cause you know that’s what they do. – Okay, was I low or was I high? I figure I was low cause I would’ve hit the rope if I was high. – Just keep going. Woah. – Woah, did I make contact with it? Was that my head or the watermelon? – I’m gonna leave it where I think it should go cause I want you to hit this, maybe back up a little bit, away from me, okay. Yeah, there it is. – Woah, hey. – And of course inside we have a bunch of watermelon candy. – Is that how watermelons are made? Is that baby watermelons? – Watermelons make candy. Let’s have some. – That was a home run, or maybe, maybe a ground-rule double. – I think it was a bunt, it only went that far. But this is pretty great. Oh, and the watermelon candy with actual watermelon on it, – That’s special. – Better than any kid’s birthday party I’ve ever been to. – [Rhett] Will it pinata? – Yes. – Yes. 34 percent of all Americans have a fax machine laying around that they’re not using, and 92 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot, just like that one. Okay, it is the fax machine-ata in the house. – Fax machine, man. – Okay Link, I don’t want you to get a bearing on this, so Chase please spin the Linkster. – But we’ve finally got a use for our fax machine if this works, you know. As well as the rest of the world. – There’s a lot of room inside a fax machine. – I’m actually dizzy. – From all those faxes. – There is is. – You’re doing the feel, you’re feeling man, it’s not an antenna, it’s a bat. – I’ve been to a birthday party before, I know how to feel my way into getting some candy. – Okay, here it comes. – Y’all getting nervous? I’m not gonna let this bat go. – Hold it, hold it, hold on, hold on, hold on. – Hadda-hadda, what does that mean? Hadda-hadda, like hold up? – Woah, woah, we got a swinger. We got a swinger. – Did it work? – I saw one piece of candy come out, but it’s a-swinging. – One piece of candy? – Come on, hit it again. – Yeah, woooh! It took three shots, and I had to take my blindfold off, and my wrist is hurting a little bit, but that was very satisfying. – The fax machine is full of wax candy, because wax rhymes with fax. Look, you remember these? – Actually, I’ve actually never had these. – Remember that? Enjoy that. – Is this edible? – This is the worst idea for candy that anybody ever came up with. – I had to take my blindfold off, but it really had a satisfying spill, so I’m feeling pretty good about this one. – Yeah, oh, that definitely pinata-ed. Oh, that’s not how we ask the question. – It definitely pinata-ed, but the real question is, what? – [Rhett] Will it pinata? – Yeah. – Yeah. Well the Linkster doesn’t know his own strength. You cracked the bat my friend, Tony Gwynn. – I’ll sign it for you later. – Okay, so we’re switching out for a metal bat, which is probably what we should’ve done to begin with. – Well go ahead and put your blindfolders down. Alright, so we wanted to develop a potential pinata for the coastal regions of the Earth, so we’re doing that by stuffing a fish with candy. Ladies and gentlemen, it is the finata, which in this case is a – I can smell it. – [Link] A red snapper. – Spin me Chase. – Oh my goodness, it stinks, so let’s get this over with. But I mean, if you live in a coastal area, you’re used to this smell, it smells like birthday. – Batter up! – You lean in any further, you’re gonna kiss it. Oh, nice and low, alright, I see where you are now. There we go. (epic music) Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness, what the heck? Did we hit a camera? It’s still intact. – Hold on, I thought the fish was gonna be over there. – You hit a light, you hit a camera, you hit Karen, Karen, are you all right? Alright, we gotta keep going. – Hit it with what, the fish? – Yeah, you’ve been swinging this low, and then went, the last time you decided to swing like here, and you took the whole thing way up there. – You want me to just do straight on? – Forget the blindfold. Right in Kevin’s mouth. Swedish fish going everywhere. – Ahhhh, swedish fish. – Look at that, oop, there’s one right there you can have. You wanna taste it? – No. – Oh, here’s one. Oooh, they’re, oh my goodness. (Making disgusted sounds) – I don’t want to be at this party much longer. – Man, look at the back of that fish. Look at what you did, dude. Oh man. – He’s actually still in pretty good shape, then you can throw him on the grill, that’s a good party. – That’s a good party. But this, that’s a good party, but as far as the pinata goes, I don’t, it’s too much intact, all the swedish fish are way over there. – Well, and it tastes like crap. – [Link] So will it pinata? – No. – No. – This next pinata sucks, cause it’s a vacuum. Now we have stuffed its old dusty sack with your grandma’s favorite candy, Werther’s Original. – My grandma’s been looking for her candy. – Dinner mints, and those strawberry things that nobody ever eats. Let’s get this thing a little bit lower for you here. – Now the fax machine was pretty hard, this thing’s probably gonna be hard, too. – It’s heavy duty, it says on there. Chase spin him. You always feeling for it, man. You the cheating kid, – This ain’t my first party, I’m telling you. – You’re the kid we don’t invite to the next party. You realize that when you cheat at the pinata game, you don’t come back to the next party. – Oh, there’s the sack. – I’m just gonna let you, I’m gonna let you go for it cause this thing’s too heavy for me to pull up and down. Oh gosh. – How’d that do? I didn’t hear any candy go anywhere. – You grazed it. – I grazed it, I think I nailed it, but I didn’t hear any candy. – There you go, right now. Oh okay, we lost a bit. – Candy, candy? – It’s lost it’s vacuum-nees. Keep going. Oh, more Link, more. Oh okay, woah, okay. – Okay, I’m pulling, oh, sack’s still intact. – Hit the sack as hard as you can. – I don’t wanna go left-handed. Oooh, I’m making candy mush, but it’s not opening. – I think the problem is, is that, – I’m trying to break it. – This thing is not, I mean, you ain’t gonna break a sack with a bat, man. I mean this was a great idea, there’s a lot of candy in there, but I don’t think this thing’s gonna pinata. – Pretty frustrating. – Will it pinata? – Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. I got a little something else. I’m gonna try the wooden bat again. But this one’s special, cause it’s got a knife in it. – Oh gosh. – I don’t know if you notice, but there’s a switchblade coming out of the top of this baseball bat. – Yeah, I’m standing back. – I’m not gonna swing it, I’m just gonna, you know, like a bayonet. I might need to go, – Oh, careful. – There we go. – That’s pretty satisfying. – Shake it. – Come on grandma, get on the floor. – Alright, safely put that away. Now look at that, yeah, now we’re talking. Wooh, it’s a little dirty in there. – [Rhett] Oh man. – [Link] Oh goodness. – Well, I’ve never had one of these strawberry things, so I’m gonna enjoy one now. – What kind of candy is that? – That’s grandma. – Oh my goodness. – That’s all that’s left of her. – [Link] Mmm, Werther. – That’s pretty nice. – But with all that additional effort, and requiring kids to use switchblades which are inside of baseball bats, – Yeah, that’s not actual pinata, that’s not normal pinata fare. – No, so will it pinata? – No. – No. Now the price of a birthday party can really rack up quickly when you factor in a pinata and a cake, so we wanted to pinch a few pennies by combining them into the birthnata. Which is a disturbing name for a birthday cake with lots of presents inside, and by presents I mean Jolly Ranchers. – We have a lot of Jolly Ranchers still around here. Now I’m not gonna be wearing the blindfold because this thing is too precious, we only have one of them, and we don’t want to mess this up. – Well we wanna mess it up supremely at once. – Well I want this to be a true test. And we are also not lighting the candles because the idea of fiery projectiles going around the studio, I don’t know, we’ve already gotten dangerous enough, you’ve already had a bat with a knife attached to it on this episode. – Let’s not press our luck, but whenever you’re ready. – Now there’s a metal rod right in the middle, so I’m gonna try to just sweep this whole side. – Yeah, sweep the side. – Yeah, I don’t think, you think I can through the whole cake? – It’s heavy, just swing at it. – Here I go. – Hit it again, there she goes, oh my goodness. Good gosh, cake everywhere. Oh it hurts. Ow, stop, stop. Okay, alright, alright. Good gracious. Saagar, you’re in a bad spot. – I think I showered, I think I showered. – Open your mouth, man. Alight, let’s lower this. – It smells so good in here. – Oh my goodness. – My bat never tasted so good. – Being pelted with that cake was a little bit painful, and I’m sorry for anyone else who got hit except for Saagar, who seemed to be enjoying it. There’s a lot of cake everywhere, most of the candy is still intact. I had high hopes for this one. – Try that. Isn’t that the best-tasting bat you’ve ever hard? – Yeah it is, that is some good cake. – Well, you think this is too much of a mess to call it a success? – Yes. – The parents are gonna be just stuck cleaning this mess up the whole afternoon. – That’s a good point. – And around here the parents are the crew. – Sorry guys. My hopes were high for this one, but most of the candy is still there, but the cake is everywhere. – It’s tough to get a cakeless piece of candy. It’s all tainted. Will it pinata? – No. – No. – Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing. – You know what time it is. – I’m Paris from Orlando, Florida, and it’s time to spin The Wheel of Mythicality. – You don’t have to stop being mythical on the weekend, you should head over to YouTube.com/ThisIsMythical to enjoy Ear Biscuits, 10 Feet Tall, mythical crew videos, and mythicalicious videos. – Yeah, and click through to Good Mythical More, where we’re gonna have the crew bash a dinosaur pinata and I’ll bet nuggets are gonna come out of it. – Gifticality, and that means we’re donating $1,000 to the Innocence Project to help them in their mission of exonerating the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reforming the criminal justice system.
