GMM 1745: How Do These Ridiculous Videos End? (Game)

Warning, the following stunts are quite ridiculous. – Lets talk about that. (upbeat music) Good mythical morning! – At the time of recording this we are still in quarantine which means, we still got a lot of time to sit around and think about life’s important questions. Like, I was wondering recently, Link, what if you and I were Australian? – Well, we’d be drinking lots of flat whites and eating lots of Dunk-a-roos, 24/7. – I’d be going around saying “All right mate, it’s time to explore the bush,” ’cause, that’s what they do. – I’m up for that. – Thankfully we don’t have to be Australian because we’ve got our good Australian friends down in Australia with the HowRidiculous YouTube channel. – Big fans. – These guys, if you’re not familiar with them, you should check ’em out, they do ridiculous stunts. Here’s an example of one of those where they wanted to see whether or not Thor’s hammer would break through double bulletproof glass. – Three, two, one! Let’s go! – [Scott] Here we’re going! (Scott and Brett exclaim) (upbeat music) (Link screams) – I love their responses. I love everything they do, I mean, they’re kindred spirits. – Yeah, we love these videos and that’s why today, we’re gonna be playing a little game with them, it’s time for, “These stunts are insane and wow, so meticulous. “How do they end? “I bet quite ridiculously.” (Rhett laughs) – Yeah. – Okay Link, very simple rules, I’m going to show you a video from the HowRidiculous channel, I’m going to pause it before the result happens and then you’re going to guess what is going to happen from some multiple choices. If you get three right, then I have to say something in a ridiculous Australian accent as a punishment but, if you don’t get three right you have to say something in your incredible, just incredible Australian accent, so I really hope you lose because I want to hear it. – I understand that you’ve picked ones that I have not seen, most likely. – Yeah, you have not seen, you haven’t seen any of these. – Okay. – All right, first up, we have a Pepsi vending machine weighing over 880 pounds about to be dropped nearly a 150 feet onto what Stanford, Derrick and Scott called “The world’s strongest trampoline.” – [Brett] Please bounce, you beautiful beverage machine. – [Link] Please bounce. – [Derek] Here we go, in three, two, one. (chains slink) Oh, baby! – All right, what happens next, Link? A, the Pepsi machine rips through the trampoline because, of course… B, the Pepsi machine bounces incredibly high, because of course… C, the Pepsi machine breaks upon impact and soda cans fly everywhere because, of course… Or D, the Pepsi machine does a full twisting double pike into a triple salto, and sticks the landing for the gold! Gold! Gold! – I don’t know, you said it was a super strong trampoline. I know these guys don’t play. They were hoping for a bounce. I’m also hoping for a bounce, with some soda cans. Ah, you know what? I’ma go with B. I just think a nice, high bounce. – All right, let’s see if he’s right. – [Brett] It’s falling. – [Link] It is falling. – [Scott] Oh, baby! – [Link] Oh my goodness! – [Brett] Oh, whoa! Oh, what a massive bounce! – Oh, man! And a Pepsi sponsorship, I guess. I don’t know, (Rhett laughs) if they were in on that. – Yeah, I don’t know, but you know what, Link? You are right. The answer is B. That Pepsi machine bounced incredibly high. But, y’know what? That was still way less damaging to Pepsi, than the ad they made with Kendall Jenner. – All right, I’m ready to see another one. – All right. Next, get egg-cited because the HowRidiculous guys tried catching eggs tossed at extreme heights, in different ways. Here’s a quick example of Stanford doing it, so you can see what I mean. – [Brett] Aw man, this is dumb. – [Derek] Jeez. – So, it’s kinda hard to see, but he catches it, it bounces off of his shirt, and then he catches it with his hand. – Ha! That’s pretty impressive in and of itself. – Right, but, if that wasn’t ridiculous enough, what they try to do next is Scott, thought he could bounce the egg off of his shirt, and then catch it in his pants pocket. – [Brett] Egg is your way, egg is your way! – He’s gonna doing it. I did not get to see the doing. – Don’t ever ask to see the doing. (Link laughs) What happens next? A, the egg explodes all over Scott’s beautiful sweater! B, the egg bounces off of Scott’s sweater, but hits him right in the face. – Doing in face. – C, Scott nails the egg-pic pocket catch, or, D, the egg hatches mid-air, and a beautiful newborn baby chick falls to its untimely demise. – Aw. – That would be sad. – I think it hits him right in the face. There’s no way that he does the pocket catch. This is a doing, face-splat. B. Okay, careful now, that one woke Stevie up. (laughs) – Stevie Oh God. – (laughs) Okay. – Let’s see. – Let’s see if you’re right. – [Brett] Egg is your way, Egg is your way! – [Link] C’mon. (egg shatters) – [Brett] Oh! (laughs) – [Link] Oh, it ruins his sweater. – [Brett] Yes. (laughs) – [Link] It hit a little high. – Let’s go for a hug! – Yeah, I didn’t get that one. You know what? I mean, it’s not that I wanted it to hit him in the face, it’s just that, well, I’m disappointed. – Yeah. You know what? I would hug you, since I was, inspired, by their willingness to hug. You remember hugging, Link? – We’re doing that in my home a little bit, yes. – So when we get back together, you don’t need me to acquaint you with hugging again. – No, but this is a huggable T-shirt, is it not? This “Proud Mythical Beast” tee is in honor of Pride Month 2020, and for the next 48 hours, you can buy this thing at mythical.com, and a portion of the proceeds go to benefit the Los Angeles LGBT Center. So go to mythical.com, be your mythical best, and wear this shirt with pride. Mythical.com. – All right, Link, for this next one, I’m gonna show you a clip of Stanford and Derek reacting to something. Take a look. – Woo! – That was freakin’ beaut! – “That was freakin’ beaut?” What? – Okay, what was beaut, Link? What made Stanford and Derek react like that? Was it A, a wrecking ball dropped onto a can of spray cheese, blasting liquid cheese all over Scott, B, a wrecking ball dropping onto a 10 foot stack of whoopee cushions, resulting in an epically loud fart sound. – Wow. – C, a wrecking ball dropping onto one end of a skateboard, launching a rubber ducky perched on the other end. Or D, a wrecking ball dropping down onto a grand piano, only to play a beautiful rendition of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. – They put, like, some toys on the trampoline sometimes, like, there’s a T-Rex that I see floating around sometimes. I don’t know what this is, but, I’m gonna go with the rubber ducky on the skateboard, C. – Okay, let’s see if he’s right. – Three, two, one! (wrecking ball hits the ground) – [Link] Yes! Yes! – [Brett] Whoa! (laughs) – Yeah, woo! – That was freakin’ beaut! – “That was freakin’ beaut”, the quacker went into the bush! – Yeah, and when that happens in Australia, you don’t even have to worry about it, it just goes away, and you’re like “ah, “just another, another duck in the bush.” (laughs) – All right, so. I’m doing pretty good on this game. – Yeah, you’ve gotten two right so far. Okay, next one, the HowRidiculous guys don’t limit their fun to Australia. In this next clip, Derek will try to catch a tennis ball while bungee jumping off of a dam, in Switzerland! – What? – The same dam James Bond jumped off in GoldenEye. Ha, what are the chances? (Brett laughs) – [Bungee Assistant] Ten, nine, eight, seven, – [Link] I would not, I wouldn’t do it. – [Bungee Assistant] Six, five, four, three, – [Link] I couldn’t do it. Two, one, go! (Rhett chuckles) – [Link] And he’s gonna try and catch a tennis ball? Oh my gosh. Okay, I saw him, I saw him release a tennis ball, I mean, I would be so afraid, I would not have the coordination to fall off properly, much less launch a tennis ball below me. – Hold on, you’re saying that if you weren’t afraid, you would have the coordination? – What are my options? What are my options? – All right, what I have as next. A, Derek makes the miracle catch. – No way. – B, Derek just misses making the miracle catch. C, Derek almost hits the wall, and gets angry at his friends for making him jump in the first place! Or, D, Derek jumps off the platform and a swarm of locusts surround him, lift him up, separate him from his harness, and carry him away to become king of the locusts, where he becomes a fair, yet stern noble ruler. – I don’t think he’s gonna hit the wall, or get angry by almost hitting the wall. I think it, you know what? I believe in Derek. I think he makes the miracle catch. – Okay, let’s find out. – [Bungee Assistant] One, go! – [Link] And there he goes, and I see him drop the ball, (heart beats) (Derek screams) (wind whooshes) Oh, my gosh. He was really trying! – Yeah, that was close man. – That was close, did they try again? – I don’t know, but if that was James Bond, he would’ve caught it, and womanized the ball at the same time. – Yeah. Derek, I believed in you, man. And with one more shot, I bet you would’ve got it. – Link, you’re two for four. You still haven’t gotten three right. So we’re gonna hear that Australian accent if you don’t get one of these next two right. – You don’t want me to lose. – This time, the HowRidiculous boys try to answer one of life’s greatest questions, “what would happen if you climbed 150 feet “and dropped a flaming anvil onto a fire extinguisher?” – This is mental! Three, two, one, go! – Gosh. I mean, and he was just free-handing it, it wasn’t dangling and being released. – Yeah. – What kind of aim, that’s like, superhuman aim. – Okay, what happens next? The anvil clips the edge of the extinguisher, propelling it right toward a now-destroyed GoPro. – Okay. – B, the anvil hits the fire extinguisher, which explodes and puts out the fire. C, the anvil hits the fire extinguisher, which explodes, but the anvil’s fire rages on, or D, the flaming anvil lands at least six feet away from the fire extinguisher, because it recognizes the importance of social distancing. – Oh, so that’s funny, but it also could be the answer, meaning, he misses by six feet. – Yeah. D is in play. – You know what, when you said A, I was like, I bet you that happens. I bet you it just barely clips it, and destroys the GoPro. A. – Hmm, let’s see. – Three, two, one, go! – [Rhett] Oh! – [Link] Oh my gosh. He nailed it! – Scott Yes! – [Brett] Ah, it didn’t put the anvil out! Put out the anvil. Extinguisher did not do the job, no, it didn’t. – What about the damaged GoPro, though? I did not see the damaged GoPro, but I– – Yeah, ’cause it didn’t happen, and that’s why you’re wrong, Link. Wow, you, really taking a turn for the worst. You have to get this one right, to not do your incredible, incredibly accurate Australian accent. – Nobody wants this, Rhett! – All right, for this last one we have a giant Lego ball, that’s about to be dropped, you guessed it, 150 feet! Onto a regular trampoline. – Yeah, 20,000 Lego bricks! Three, two, one, go! – [Link] Looks heavy. Again, especially with something like that Lego ball, you gotta have good aim. What are my options? – Is it A, the Lego ball rips right through the trampoline and smashes into the ground. B, the Lego ball bounces off the trampoline with minimal damage, then it smashes into 20,000 pieces when it hits the side of the trampoline on the next bounce. C, the Lego ball bounces off the trampoline, Derek tries to catch it, but it breaks in his arms. Or D, the Lego ball enters an alternate universe where sentient Lego balls drop plastic humans onto trampolines for fun. – That thing looked heavy. I don’t think he would step in and try to catch it, so I’m ruling that out. That would be too ridiculous. I’m gonna with my instinct, my ginstinct. B, it bounces twice, destroyed on the second bounce. – All right, let’s see if he’s right! – [Brett] Three, two, one, go! – [Scott] Head up! – [Link] Oh, my, gosh. (several people laugh) It didn’t bounce. – It didn’t bounce, Link. (Link sighs) You know what, this is almost as amazing as the time you broke an urn with a sausage. (chuckles) – That was pretty great, right? – Anyway, that means that you did in fact, lose, Link, and you’re going to have to read the following sentence in your incredible Australian accent. “Sure, a pint of Foster’s gives me the burpees, “but smooching toilets gave me the herpes.” – Sure, a pint of Foster’s gives me the burpees, (Rhett and Stevie laugh) but a smooch of the toilet gave me the herpes! – Wow. Somehow, you did, like, – I’m sorry. I love Australia, – New York, cockney, and it’s like, – I love Australians. everything but Australia. Love it! – I had a great time there, I love HowRidiculous, I’m sorry. – Okay, thank you to the HowRidiculous guys for letting us use those videos. Go check out their channel, there’s a lot more of that over there. – Yeah, and thank you for smashing that bell, and, what else do they smash? – (laughs) Whatever they want! – You know what time it is! – Hey this is Noel and Quinn from Ferndale, Michigan. We’re using our time at home to learn a few new tricks. C’mon, through, through! It’s time to flip the coin of mythicality. – Thank you, before we flip that coin, we want to donate $1000 to Children International.
