You guys are to old to be man children
This was the fanciest rock in a sock ever, the hard object in the sock matters less than the sock itself, getcha some slutty knee high socks. Range baby.
An old italian man once told me if you put pantyhose on a bat, itll slip right out if they try to grab it.
@@kootmcgoot8677 Now I'm getting mental images of someone trying to put Batman in pantyhose. Kerpow!!!
@@andrewharper1609 my man, batman be wearin pantyhose. That tight ass suit, dont wanna chafe the bat dong
Cut your hair, not a fan of the douchebag hippie hair
This show is like mythbusters, but with Adam Savage on speed and Jamie Hyneman on antidepressants.
LMAOOO
@Sheldon Robertson *only adam
*but better
They weren't?
AYY LMAO! LOLLERSKATES!
“What’s the reverse of CPR?”
“MURDER.”
*maniacal laughter*
At some point they probably cut out a ''RPC'' because Brian referenced it later lmao
I'm gonna go ahead and say that the opposite of CPR is MDK.
Dante Edward murder die kill?
@@drzzy7346 Close. Murder. Death. Kill.
That quote is yet another reason why I fucking love Murphy.
Does she have infinite patience? ... there are moments where you can actually see her question her life choices that brought her to your studio
She does look like she is regretting everything and is getting impaciente and its kinda making me mad😹
They struggle with remembering to wrap it 4 times
I know like when they go into joke mode you see her roll her eyes and close her lips tighter than normal trying to keep a smile... I almost expected her to teach them how painful the tool is to shut them up.
She's like the substitute teacher trying to teach the teenagers who are just mucking about having fun with the lesson but testing her at the same time unintentionally
@@demonic7610 usually they get people on the show that can joke like they do, she seemed more like an asshole daycare worker that needed to take a nap
I love that this is basically a more deadly 5 minute crafts... that actually works!
Idk, 5 min crafts is a good way to electrocute yourself
"actually works" and "5 minute crafts" should never be in the same sentence together
Yes, and youre not using 20 metric tonnes of hot glue, putting Colgate ( or Crest if you're American 😂) toothpaste on your cracked phone screen and fixing a sink with instant ramen noodles
And you aren't just putting thumb tacks in a pineapple and throwing it at an attacker......
I've made a few of these. Getting them actually tight is closer to a 3 hour craft.
If anyone tries making one, use a screwdriver and some needle-nosed pliers to pull everything tight. It helps a lot.
She looked so disappointed in some scenes
I was ... 😜
I mean.... they are 7 year old with beards
That's what you get by trying to teach two man-childs how to craft deadly weapons through a lengthy process.
If you pay attention its ONLY wen Bryan would get into one of his Hyena screeming fake laughs
It's because one guy on the right has to be drunk... He's gone to hell in the last few months. Something definitely going on there.
"Go away bad guys!" when the guest are fans is so satisfying.
Well Annaliese is part of the MR crew so it makes sense she knows the phrase
@@quindariousgooch9914 I didn't know that. It does make sense.
"what is with you and bolo ties lately?"
THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME??
it's texas everyone is requered to own atleast one and wear it to familly occasions.
They were trying out the "hunting" weapon known as bolas not too long ago, and some mentions of bolo ties were made.
not even close
lol what nym said. heres a link: th-cam.com/video/7MFD7cxiS4w/w-d-xo.html
its part of his plan against tmz cobra
"Even more deadly"
I think he's right. It makes sense that an incorrectly made weapon can be even more deadly.
To the user.
DOUBLE KILL
Like chain weapons!
Today I learned that The Mobile Phone Throwing World Championships are held in Finland, and one winner said he prepared for the event by "mainly drinking." what a guy.
Finns are very proud of Nokia. Finns love drinking. Story checks out.
Nokialand!
Is there video? Sounds like a great event!
That poor woman had no idea what she was getting herself into. Ha!
She, in fact, knew precisely what she was getting herself into
Oh man, I have a 1.5" Tungsten ball bearing sitting around. Perfect.
Anybody else amazed that Brian made it through the entire episode without saying "ben wa balls"?
I'm amazed by the fact that he didn't reset the injury counter.
"What's the opposite of CPR?"
Remote Procedure Calls
hey chef! I love you on Ashens Ch.
an excellent addition to these comments
Glad I'm not the only one!
No the opposite of CPR is inflicting blunt force grams sufficient to break the ribs followed by ripping your victims heart out of the chest cavity. Fatality!😁
few will understand, but nice one.
"Mom can we have mythbusters?"
Mom: "No we have mythbusters at home."
Mythbusters at home:
She's not angry, just disappointed.
The boys: "say something funny"
Annaliese: *vibrates*
when brian said child she freaked out not knowing child means "changeling id like to destroy "
When I saw that a monkey fist video was coming soon, I didn't expect it to be this soon. Thank you for this.
Oh I am so very glad I watched to the end. Brian having a "serious" conversation about wanting to do the magicians cut the rope just for it to not be cut with his child's umbilical cord! I really wish I could have been there to have seen everyone's reaction to probably one of the best ideas I've ever heard.
Finally! A long waited video. What is next? Cat O’ Nine Tails???
and just remember folks. learn your local laws. technically this IS a weapon and some places ban things like this. so getting caught in possession of something like this by police COULD get you into trouble.
In some states (WA and VA for two) call this a slungshot.
I love these practical episodes, they remain entertaining and yet give me something I can use. A point: apparently large metal ball bearings (like the kind used in the video) can set off metal detectors. Another point: apparently police/security types regard this sort of thing as a "weapon." A third point: you can get ceramics that don't set off metal detectors, and easily shape some hard clay into a rough ball shape. A fourth point: homemade ceramic balls don't generally hold up well to sustained abuse. A fifth point: repeatedly hitting "another person" with a ceramic-cored monkey fist counts as sustained abuse...
I like how another person is in quotes.
[redacted: Also, this is for self-defense, so sustained abuse charges would likely go nowhere if you used it for its intended purpose]
@@matthewhubka6350 The sustained abuse thing was referencing the previous point "Homemade ceramic balls don't generally hold up well to sustained abuse"
I would really call this practical though...
Use a marble
What I used to do is put a marble in it. Not as heavy as a metal ball bearing but it won't set off a metal detector and can still be used as intended
(Brian) "What's the reverse of CPR?"
(Jason) "Murder!"
I was basically waiting for her to say: "Get an adult to help you with this"
I like how the whole time she was trying to teach and show him how to do it and he just kept not listening and trying to do it his own way and failing LMAO that's why I love this channel
Hey Guys! Would you ever consider doing a collab with Greg from How to Drink? I know he lives in New Jersey and you guys are in Texas but I really hope you good. I think you guys would really get along ♥️
6:14
Annaliese: "I swear, this is the last time i work with kids!" xD
I love it when Brian and Jason are having the time of their life and the guests is just trying to get in with what they’ve been asked to do
PLEASE MAKE THAT LINE INTO A SHIRT "WHATS THE OPPOSITE OF CPR? MUUUUURDERRR?!"
Really cool stuff guys! Glad to see a big channel like yours embracing the Art Of The Monkey's Fist! 😅
Literally every modern rouge video- Brian “wow” video ends
brian: crackles like a witch
*rogue
@@devinm.6149 I can't stand how it's literally the channel name and people still misspell it. Like come on now people
@@DivineMind222 I don't know. Modern Rouge would be an interesting side-plot. Instead of learning gentleman tactics, they disarm their enemy with dashing good looks and way too much makeup
@@devinm.6149 Pretty sure most people spell it wrong on purpose at this point, just because they point out that you have to spell it right all the time
She said it!! She said the phrase!
7/10/20: The monkeys fist
7/20/20: The monkeys tail
7/30/20: The monkey!
I think that's just her personality, but she looks so done with you guys. Like a mother of two sons who always cause trouble
"I'm a lost cause"
"I'm a lost cause too"
*Me over here with the paracord bundled around my fingers and no idea what I'm doing*
I'M DOING MY BEST.
I cant do it with my hands either so I use a jig it's like fingers but wood and theres 4
Oh a smiley! Used to rock one with a bandana tied to a lock and had the bandana hanging out my back pocket.
Frickin' love the music they have for the really cool moments of whatever they're doing, that guitar rif for when shit goes down in slo-mo is the catchiest thing
I love Jason's excitement about nerdy things that could also kill you
8:00 "It's gonna be just as deadly as his. Maybe more deadly." Sure, but it needs to be deadly on the swing, not the tying it together process.
edit: Hey, turns out by they end of the episode they DID make equally deadly ones.
“We will Fix it later!”
“It’s fine, we’ll figure it out.”
“We’ll make it work!”
Nooww, you’re speaking Modern Rogue’s language!! 😹😹
Modern Rogue’s Slogan’s-
We will Fix it later!
It’s fine, we’ll figure it out.
We’ll make it work!
😹😹
That's so close to a haiku, lol
Step 1:
Put monkey fist over barrel of gun
Step 2: ...
Love how much laughter is in these videos.
If you don't make the fist tight enough, the ball inside will shoot out eventually. I spend maybe 20 minutes making the fist, and then an hour or two pulling it tight. You will see and feel as you do this the cord goes from having a soft compressible feel to being very hard. If you don't tighten evenly you will also see the line pinch down where the direction of turn has changed and/or instead of straight lines they will be slanted and/or bigger on one end than the other. I use pliers to pull it tight, but have to be careful not to fray the material. Just pulling the running ends will never get it evenly tight; every bit that is more loose will shift and even itself out, and eventually it will all become loose, then as you demonstrate the ball flies out and punches a hole in drywall 😅
Also nomenclature to know, in some places these self defense tools are called "slung shots" and are illegal. Depending on your local area is may be illegal to carry these on you. There are many great videos on TH-cam where people show how to use these in a lethal manor or less lethal (ie striking the temple vs striking up into the jaw).
I went to a boating camp when I was 13 and made a large monkeys fist with a baseball for the base. They started out in boating as a way of tossing rope between two boats or two points, because the weighted end made it easier to throw and not have it slip off into the water
She yelled go away bad guys. Best guest ever.
Having made a ton of these I recommend doing all the wrapping first keeping things fairly loose. Then add the ball into the pocket you've created before you start "fidgeting". Tighten it up by starting at one end gently pulling the slack out of the loops to the other end making sure to keep things as neat as you can. Just do a little at a time and repeat as many times as it takes to get it tight.
You can also adjust how it fits for different sized cord and balls to make them any size. Bigger balls or thinner cords get more loops in each direction (5-6 or even more if you want to get crazy). Smaller balls or thicker cord get less (2-3)
I am in the Royal Canadian Navy, the point of the monkeys fist is for sailors to tie to end of a painter (rope used to tie a ship to a jetty) to give it weight so they can throw it to sailor on shore or on a jetty so they can anchor the ship to the jetty.
im glad the kids are enjoying arts n crafts at summer camp
I'm always amazed at how they can't do basic stuff. That is why they are the best channel on youtube. Keep it up.
When you're too fidgety to keep the loops neat only between your fingers, you can make a handy jig by putting four pegs (nails, tent pegs, chopsticks, whatever) in a board in a square the size of what will be the core of your monkey fist. If you intend to use the monkey fist as a throw weight for anchor line or for climbing, consider a rubber or cork ball (otherwise it's quite dangerous for the person catching it, and some ports will have every dangerous throw weight cut off the line, so best get it right the first tume). You can even stuff one end of your cord inside the completed knot to give it shape, but then you should connect both ends with a knot, or sew it off.
I’ve been waiting for this ever since the bola episode and it did not disappoint. Awesome job!
She looks so tired of them lol 🤣🤣🤣
"Hold, varlet, or I shall deal thee a good scuffing!" -- Steampunk Annaliese, probably.
so serendipitous that I've just been making these all week and now this video pops up!
The first thing I thought about when clicking on this video was: Watch dogs 2
Monkeys’ fists are also good for getting ropes up high in a tree. You can tie the fist to the end of a rope so it’s heavier and easier to throw, so you can put your trash bag up in a tree while camping.
Ive got a golfball in the middle of mine.
Lets see if grandma forgets to put ice in my Koolaid tommorow.
She's a real trooper, this felt like a elementary school class.
Pro tip: be mindful when you're swinging this thing, you can hit yourself, either by wiffing or, in some cases, by rebound.
Is screaming, "Go away, bad guys!" part of what makes this an effective weapon? Either way, I'll be incorporating it into my self-defense routine.
Well you're optimistic!
I’m a security guard, when I did my baton certification recently and could hardly contain the urge to yell “go away bad guy!” Instead of the required “back up!”
GUILLERMO! Nice what we do in the shadows reference Jason
Brian has reverted from stage magician all the way to 7-year-old.
In all fairness, he was always there.
Jason’s reaction to Brain dropping the ball bearing was priceless and hilarious! Great video guys!
4:52 - Brian so happy with himself and looking for a pat on the head for his work hahaha.
bless this woman for her valiant attempts at keeping a straight face
I'd love to see an episode that is basically a montage of Brian and Jason going back and redoing all of these makes correctly. Would be cool to see them actually build what they set out to.
I loved watching this episode becuase it is like the two problem children in class got to actually learn something they want to and are trying to prove they aren't the problem child the other one is xD
The head popping off felt like one of those boxing toys or like in a video game where you defeat the boss and his head pops off! Go away bad guys!
Her sigh at the end. Gold.
Whats awesome is my mom has been making these for years! She originally started with just the knot and progressively advanced into a 2 inch marble
Man straight up wanted to do a magic trick with his firstborn's umbilical cord. A true wizard.
Brian is a true Rogue! Everytime there’s danger in the workshop or at the barn...he’s in flip flops! LOL! Living dangerously.
Analiese is so patient and sweet....like supervising kid brothers! 😂❤️❤️
We used to make these at summer camp and wrap a small round smooth pebble in there, but we always used a sisal rope that we'd soak in water and let dry out to shrink and be super tight.
Go away bad guys is the greatest contribution to the modern rogue cannon ever
Ahhh lovely...
This takes me back to being 7-8 tears old, growing up in a street with kids 6-8 years older than me and we often found out things like this long BEFORE our childish minds should've realistically been aware of. We made swords, bows, crossbows, French arrows/throwing darts and one of the best was monkey fists where we had to opt for large marbles as we didn't have large ball bearings.
I enjoyed the chaos of my childhood... I was a devilish rogue!!
10:46 Bryan has an insane Joker laugh
Theoretically, if I used this on a human head, would it split in half?
depends on how hard you hit them ;)
Most Certainly, I’ve had one for years and it’s spit boards
oswald shoe and decapitate it
could crack some skulls for sure
2/3
as an Eagle Scout, and the knots instructor for my scout troop, I understand the struggles they are having with the Monkeys Fist, its the one knot at camp I could never tie properly ;~;
Annaliese's look of disapproval is the best
9:00 this is why we can't go anywhere nice BRYAN! 😂😂
Making this knot is so much easier with the core of the ball bearing. I have one that the finished size is about 6 inches and that was a beast to fold together. It has about 12 feet of rope in it.
She really shoulda brought a monkey fist jig for them lol. And the part to be scared of is it recoiling back into you. Smashed my shin when one bounced off some ice.
A 1" ball would be difficult to explain in court, may want to go a bit smaller, perhaps if you own a musket use a lead musket ball like a "good luck charm"
She said “go away bad guys!” Which means she’s seen this show before
Annaliese is on the MR crew
@@n8glo lmao she got tired of them winging it on their last few videos
Never would I think TH-cam would let a video with “how to craft” and “deadly” slip by.
“Do we still get the gold ninja stars?”
*laughing maniacally with his face inside the CPR dummy*
I made one of these with a billiard ball😅
Truly a gentleman's weapon
A more refined weapon for a more civilized age.
Isn't that like 3x the size? That sounds absurd.
The Gorillas Fist!
Sounds like you're compensating for something...
I knew this would be a good episode. Also not really surprised that neither of them managed it.
I’m a theatre major and I focus of technical theatre and we had a knot making unit and,our professor told us if we could make a monkey’s paw knot we would get extra credit. Only one person could do it and it wasn’t me lmao
she reminds me of that one english teacher that always stares out of the window and only communicates through students.
I enjoyed the berhinger x32 mixer at the beginning and end. They are such nice mixers for the price
I used to have to tie these for the ships I worked on 😂😂 great to see some one make it
I have the ball bearings and paracord, which i specifically bought to do this. I made one, but i took it apart because i didn't do a good enough job. Maybe I'll try again.
6:04 thank you. I feel better about my attempt not being perfect my first attempt.
Also, i've seen "jigs" you can build with a board + pencils or dowels to work in place of using your fingers.
Maybe it's a good idea to get it mostly finished and then start over a few times, to get the hang of it.
9:40 When I watched the tutorials online years ago, they never mentioned this step.
This reminds me of your Hat modification, but I was always worried about quickly putting the hat on and knocking yourself out. Imagine watching that happen to someone, they put on a hat and instantly fall down unconscious.
At 3:43 is a perfect representation of this Chanel you have the middle at the right doing it veery well and theeennn of the let we have a complete and under mess but he still keeps on going because he’ll never quit. Mabel because he has a strong will and will never quit or he just doesn’t know he’s wrong yet.
Brians cackle is the best
I regret not having the materials while watching this. I kept thinking "Please hand it over to me, let me try" when they're struggling to wrap it around the ball bearing LMAO
These guys are kids and I love them
OMG I cracked so hard when I saw Annaliese just die inside putting up with the other two XD Keep up the good work XD
The Modern Rogue has Dave. Mythbusters had Buster. You can't tell me that's not a coincidence.
Make these as decorative sailing keyring, looks like I need to amend my knots.
