My young daughter has special needs, and has a hard time communicating verbally, but she asks to watch an HR video most nights before bed. She calls it "ball movie" due to all the tower drops with bowling balls. At any rate, her eyes go wide and she does a happy "Wooow! everytime something blows up. So... y'all have made a a little girl quite happy many times over. Well done.
How ridiculous was that! The Hummer guy seems a cool guy to work with, takes pride in his work and let's you guys test it out... I'm betting next time you work with him he'll have something dart proof 🤣
forget the plastic 16lb bowling balls.... need to fire a 16lb bean bag (like a heavy nylon etc bag full of ball bearings or BBs)...right size bag will fill the barrel nicely, transfer all that energy into velocity... and a bean bag will hit hard, no chance of any deflection that can happen with solid objects
@ I wouldn’t be worried about that with the right material, but it’s also going to slow down as soon as it naturally opens up because of the drag it creates
@Jordan Townsend Racing for the next Humvee u want to fortify use Spaced armor and paralel steel to stop the incoming projectile, also use a 80mm RHA steel plateand agle them better. Infront of that plate put a simple Industrial ceramic plate in aluminium infront of that, that will stop the main impact force and helps the RHA Steel plate to absorb more energy and therefor longer it's life.
I think would probably work too. Not bad shib. We should go work with them. You come up with great ideas then you tell me I tell the H.R. team and say it was my idea. Then I I mean we get standing ovations and we're rich. Hell yea did you see what a good I mean great idea I just had? That's like genius. What you think man are you in? We're going to be rich. Ok. Ok I will let you come up with 2 or 3 good ideas for you to show the team that way they know there still some spark left somewhere in that head of your's. And show them he's still useful to them... and maybe you can keep your job Because with all the great ideas that you gladly give to me makes me team member of forever. O yea it's so much paid time off. You get a fuck ton more money and I will never say no to money and plus I'm making my 2nd office a strip club. Yea a ton of Hot Honnies for days. O and Drunk white women for everybody. Who's fuckin with me let fuckin go with Darh Shibby he w be our guid but don't bug him too much stay Shibby 🌬💨😤😶🌫️🤙🤘
On perseverance: "You only get a shot like that by spending a whole day missing." Well put. FINALLY ordered my own Rexy 👍- I've certainly watched enough of these videos, that I should have one.
The fact that these major TH-cam channels that I have been watching on and off for years are doing collabs is awesome. Its the same vibes as when Scooby-Doo would have guest appearances on the cartoon when I was a kid. Im also impressed at how this channel has grown. I found it in like mebbe 2017, and it was mostly dropping shit off of that one tower. Now youre in America firing harpoon and bowling ball cannons at a military-grade Humvee, and recording the results in slow-motion. "How Ridiculous" is quite the apropos name!
80 years ago in Europe many allied soldiers had front row seats to this same test. Only they were in the jeeps. And I want to thank every one of them for their service.
Gentlemen, this is officially my first TH-cam comment EVER. I gotta say, as a huge fan of HR, I’ve noticed a lack of repartee between the three of you in your string of most recent vids. I’d love it if you brought the competition videos with your handheld cameras back into play (a la Swiss dam)! Keep up the good work and thanks for all the biweekly excitement! Looking forward to all your future creativity. Much love from Canada!
I've owned a vehicle with that same engine for 30 years, and just keeping it running, even without a bowling ball or harpoon ramming through the side, has been quite the challenge anyway.
Re the aluminium ball, if you do it again, put some wadding behind it to reduce the blow past and impart more force on the ball. Maybe wrap it in a mat or leather to fill the diameter.
@@Jakabus663 It's just a normal Humvee with steel plates added, they wouldn't know about the armor, since it's not an "officially made" armored Humvee.
@howridiculous as usual the video was 1/4 as interesting as it should have been. the entire audience aswell as the guy who built the humvee was expecting you to shoot at it from far enough away that you werent sure where you would hit it, which would have been super interesting. instead you just took point blank shots at it untill it died, you may aswell have just walked up to it and cut the ignition. and what an absoloute waste to not have shot those wheel guards, everyone involved except the three of you wanted to see how well they protected the wheels.
That thing took some serious beating! Holy crap, it just wouldn't die. xD Always a fun time when HR puts out a viddie and I am so here for it. Thanks for the fun guys ^-^
Getting sick of thotbot spam accounts isn't "gatekeeping," but way to white knight for a bunch of southeast Asian scammer dudes. Lol. @@cinemattics2379
IDEA: Re-build the Humvee and have a type of actual moving battle (a bit in the style of Battle Bots). The Humvee starts 500 yards away and the team takes a shot at it. After each shot, the Humvee gets to drive 50 yards closer (if it still can), then the team gets another shot. If the Humvee eventually penetrates a perimeter near to the team, the Humvee wins, but if they disable the Humvee and score critical damage on it (before their position is compromised), the team wins.
After getting a 2005 Cherokee two years ago, and having NOTHING but issues with it, and sinking an absurd amount of money into it for it now to be effectively dead, I love the fact that you guys are using Cherokee's to destroy, so I don't have to destroy mine!
Ssssstttttooooppppp with the A.I. thumbnails. First thought a black hawk was dropping the dart, then a huge paint explosion for the merch, now here thought it was an up armored humvee. Turns out to be less than a soft top humvee. Getting all excited for meh
Bloody Awesome!!!! Such a fun time! I enjoy seeing what y'all come up with! And I ordered a Rexy for my granddaughter.Thanks for the Good, clean, wholesome content!!
Lovely to see what you guys have achieved :) From throwing colorful stuff from that random tower in the middle of nowhere, to this expensive videos. Congrats ❤

I pressed x for doubt.
Your daughter happiness is alone justify all of the videos of this channel.
How Ridiculous needs to team up with Kentucky Ballistics for a video!
They've done some stuff together already
@@adamreed6336 Really? Source?
They need to do Kentucky Roulette!
@adamreed6336 I know they have done a video with @demolition ranch but not with @KB
YES!!! Get the Punt Gun, against the armored HumVee…
11:49 the honesty in the "genuinely no" is sending me rn 😂
The shake of the head 😂
Should call up Kentucky Ballistics for some fun firepower. You have the slowmo guys connection and I am sure it would be a fun video.
Was just thinking about this myself.
They did Tanks at the place in Texas with Matt Carriker also
YAAAAS!
Yes
Kentucky has the slow mo guys hook up as well from his video.
How Ridiculous x The Slow Mo Guys x Kentucky Ballistics colab when?
That would be faaaarrking amazing 👏 👏👏👏👏👏❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️
naw, demo ranch
@@PaulJohnson-ym4df All of that ON Demo Ranch! Mega destruction collab.
Right!!
@@rhov-anionthe already hung out with demo at his place and at drive tanks, so I feel like this wouldn’t be hard to get them all together
4:29 The most enthusiastic "wow" I've ever heard! ;)
How ridiculous was that! The Hummer guy seems a cool guy to work with, takes pride in his work and let's you guys test it out... I'm betting next time you work with him he'll have something dart proof 🤣
7:58 this man is too pure and should be protected at all costs!
😊
Protected from what, random bowling balls?
He's genuinely entertaining too, love seeing him in the vids
I'm just here for the "How Much Powder?" song. :D Happily fulfilled with this video!
Hey guys, had a blast making this video with you.
forget the plastic 16lb bowling balls.... need to fire a 16lb bean bag (like a heavy nylon etc bag full of ball bearings or BBs)...right size bag will fill the barrel nicely, transfer all that energy into velocity... and a bean bag will hit hard, no chance of any deflection that can happen with solid objects
Yes
Actually a good idea, would be sick footage
A bean bad would disperse the energy too far across the surface as it would have more surface area than the ball
@@buckeyecountry04and tear apart on entry
@ I wouldn’t be worried about that with the right material, but it’s also going to slow down as soon as it naturally opens up because of the drag it creates
2:58 wow! What a shot to start the episode!
IKR
Ðat's, not ðe start.
The humvee that guy built looks cool enough. There's no reason for the click bait thumbnail.
They did an A/B test with a version that includes a picture of their actual humvee and this is the thumbnail that gets the most clicks
@@javanplattner9183 obviously since its a more attractive looking humvee
The harpoon should be named Rod Skewerd
Nooooooo!
@@AlansWoodworking lol
"One and one half pounds" always sounded super clunky to me. Glad you called that out! 😂
Solid copper balls, tempered glass balls, frozen turkeys, basketball filled with gorilla glue, that's some of the crazy ideas that came to mind,
Basketballs filled with different fluids would be a legendary vid
Agreed, that'd be wild.
Derek's pronunciation of "Logsplitter" around the 6:50 mark.... Excellent🎉🎉🎉
“It’s okay humvee you’re doing really good buddy” hit me unreasonably hard
Harrison is a good name to go along with Bruce, Clayton, large Marge and Suzy
Ew no definitely not
Agreed
Should call it poontang
Gunther
@@drummerdgun that's a good name to be honest 🤩
We need a "Well that's not in one piece anymore" created by editing each word from a different time it was said.
Agreed
That was one MONSTER of a battle! Would love to see what ridiculousness would be in store for a rematch!
@Jordan Townsend Racing for the next Humvee u want to fortify use Spaced armor and paralel steel to stop the incoming projectile, also use a 80mm RHA steel plateand agle them better.

This video genuinly put a smile on my face, thanks lads!
"Have you ever heard a 6.2? They always sound bad." Said every Veteran ever 😂
Owned a M1008 and a 93 3500 with a 6.5 can confirm they are not the best sounding engines but I love them
Watching Aussies react to a bowling ball going through a canvas humvee door is hilarious.
Got to meet Stanford at the wildcats v Breakers game. Super cool guy. Love the vids you guys do
These videos get crazier and and crazier and I'm here for it!
True American engineering at its finest.
I love the carnage but I love the hummer even more.
I think if you added a little drag to the back end of the harpoon, you might be able to get some accurate distance out of it. Thanks for all the work.
I think would probably work too. Not bad shib. We should go work with them. You come up with great ideas then you tell me I tell the H.R. team and say it was my idea.

On perseverance: "You only get a shot like that by spending a whole day missing." Well put.

Seriously did not expect that to happen. Time to go bowling soon!
Best use of a Humvee ever. Im an Army vet and I have few good things to say about them
That thing was built beautifully, if you weren't shooting the same spot over and over that would have survived everything you threw at it 😆
Only 300 subs? That is awesome you guys are working with a small channel like that to give him some traffic!
Agreed! Thanks guys, was a blast working with you (pun intended)

The Lay-Z-Boy recliners are a nice touch
The Montana videos continue. Always happy to see How Ridiculous in my home state. :)
I could watch these videos for hours!
That modified humvee is awesome! (As was the mass destruction leveled against it!) 🔥🔥🔥
That was some serious click bait.
agreed very disappointed didn't even watch the video.
How
@@Star_wars-c3p0 Look at the thumbnail lol
It’s still a humvee
Yes is it but still
Bring in SmarterEveryDay with the Super Sonic Baseball Canon. 💯
0:10-highlight of the video. Pretty sure that’s a new record in less than 20 seconds.
Nah fr tho
"I'd be surprised if you even managed to put a dent in it"
*PROCEEDS TO BLOW UP THE ENTIRE DOOR*

And I want to thank every one of them for their service.
Wow that cannon is so powerful it blew that poor guys sleeves right off. Chin up mate, merch sale!
I love how Black Friday has arrived in Australia!!
It helps that the majority of their viewers are American.
When Team Break Everything meets Team Fix Everything. I did not expect it to go any other way!
Somewhere out there is a HumV engineer with a big smile on his face
Once these guys figure out about wadding this jeep is going to be wicked

watching how ridiculous in 2X speed is SOOOOOOOOOOOO funny yall!
Me looking at the original thumbnail Humvee: "Wait thats not armoured, those are fabric doors"
also: 🐪
YaY that new one is uparmored!
Honestly this 3rd Thumbnail is the best.
It has a bit of armor still, If you look at areas they didn't fire at you can tell its armored there.
Fantastic job with the Humvee, and a great job distroying it. God bless you all.
How ridiculous is one of a kind
I've owned a vehicle with that same engine for 30 years, and just keeping it running, even without a bowling ball or harpoon ramming through the side, has been quite the challenge anyway.
It should be criminal to waste a perfect humvee like that!
Great video!!! Yeay Jordan Townsend Racing for such a great rig!!
Not even gonna lie, that humvee looks cool as heck. I'd love to use it in a racing game, and it also kinda looks like a humvee ute! XD
Shame it's not the one in the thumbnail.... Clickbait as fuck.
@@ILoveMyMalinois It's still an armored Humvee is it not?
Great episode. I would love to see this guy back with the whole intl. group for another head2head.
Boys you should fire the coney joney at the humvee, it would destroy the humble, coney coney is a legend!!! BIG!!!
I wanted to see them hit one of those spiky hubcaps!
😂
These videos are getting out of hand, and I love it.
Re the aluminium ball, if you do it again, put some wadding behind it to reduce the blow past and impart more force on the ball. Maybe wrap it in a mat or leather to fill the diameter.
Imagine explaining to the insurance company how your Humvee got totaled by a bowling ball.
Yeah lol
Six bowling balls, two aluminum balls, and two harpoons.
An entire herd of bowling balls.
Imagine convincing your insurance company to cover an armored Humvee in the first place lol
@@Jakabus663 It's just a normal Humvee with steel plates added, they wouldn't know about the armor, since it's not an "officially made" armored Humvee.
Projects like Alemio with strong use cases and a clear vision often lead the next bull run. Definitely worth considering!
Where’s the humvee from the thumbnail?
Click bait 😤😤😤😤😤
Go the Humvee 🙌🙌🙌

Josh thats the Byron of America haha good on ya Jordan Dirty thumbs up from Byron 👍
That is not an armored HMMWV.
Ok. This one was fun. Gotta get that guy to rebuild another for a rematch.
15:50 sounds like it threw a rod after the coolant ran out 🤓
It's a 6.2 diesel. They all sound like that. 😂 Sounded more like he sprayed too much ether into it.
That thing took some serious beating! Holy crap, it just wouldn't die. xD Always a fun time when HR puts out a viddie and I am so here for it. Thanks for the fun guys ^-^
Google Toyota hilux and TopGear….
Don't mess with Texas ❌
Don't mess with How Ridiculous✅
Demo ranch, Brandon Herrera, Ballistic High Speed, Kentucky Ballistics and maybe Donut Operator just for fun
6:25 yeaaaaaaa
Bro got a shout out
You all can call the harpoon shooter "Starc", because of it's sheer speed and accuracy
Sabot the aluminum rounds. That will help with both velocity and accuracy.
Thanks for the shoutout 🤝

I haven’t watched the video yet, but I know this is gonna be a BANGER❤❤❤❤❤💋
The humvee definitely won. Didn't have a chance to return fire and was basically at point blank range.
Idk who beefier "JORDAN" or t he hummer? But respect the hard wrk 💪
That's like the Toyota Hilux of Humvees... nothing will kill it!
That Humvee needs a visit to THE TOWER and it also needs a sit down talk with THE FIST!!
I just simply love you guys.👍🔝
Greedings on the entire team. 🥇
Bloody Awesome!!!! Such a fun time! I enjoy seeing what y'all come up with! And I ordered a Rexy for my granddaughter.Thanks for the Good, clean, wholesome content!!
NEVER underestimate what a HMMWV can live through.
Collab where he armorizes a ute, and see if you all without knowing can get it sliced open.
14:17 “mmmm smells like success” 😂😂😂
watching the aluminium ball being dropped into the cannon without wadding, inches of loose space, hurt me in my heart
Derrick Herrons moustache alone deserves a thumbs up 👍🏻
Incredible fabrication! That would have taken forever
