It’s super refreshing to see a group of guys that have been together for so long be so willing to share the spotlight with the crew that makes things work for them.
Great to see good Christian guys not having to be swearing or doing bad things just to be funny. They're having fun and are hilarious the way they are. God bless 🙏
I love when we get some more interaction with the rest of the crew. Obviously I want the three boys running the show but I always enjoy seeing the rest of the crew on camera and I appreciate all the work they do as well
I know some french youtubers where everyone in the crew gets to participate. "Maison Grise" (means "grey house" because their offices and studios are located in a small house with grey bricks) is a group of youtubers doing entertainment (games, contests, challenges, and so) where it started with the financial director being asked once to play the role of referee in a game. People loved it, he did it again, then everyone from video editor to cameraman, accountant, etc. became guests in several videos.
@@Intentionally_Inflammatory When they first put it on maximum power, the blades of the katanas spun out of where they were being held. I think there might be enough power to take off someone’s head.
@@Reper1983SPIN UP, read their message. Please. Please. Please. You're not smart. They meant it wouldn't immediately spin up fast, everyone knows it except you.
They would probably have to fill out 2000 forms and pay a ridiculous amount to the government because they live in the communist country of Australia. Not everyone is allowed to have/build weapons. But it’s a cool idea though. Would be fun to watch.
If you’re looking for feedback, I honestly miss the tower videos. Those videos are HR’s roots and they’ll always be entertaining. Maybe head back to the tower sometime!
The concept of katanas spinning that bloody fast is incredible. Pure genius. Such a thrill, and I gotta say, the sound it makes is so alien, and I love the sound.
I completely appreciate how you guys are forever trying new things and building these epic machines but my faves are definitely the giant baseball bat and fly swatter 😊
Brilliant video, boys. The efforts to grow the show are paying off, and you haven't got big heads from the success. Also, you seem to be getting along better than a rock band with as many years. Your show meant SO much to me during the pandemic, and its great that kept it going.
What if you put a massive polycarbonate cylinder over the whole katana thing so objects couldn’t bounce away and would be forced into go through the katanas like a massive blender?
That's gotta be my favorite paintcan slowmo ive ever seen and always dreamed of!!! Loved it!! Since you asked, About the editing: I have missed the banter and remarks between the drops, your last videos have felt a little fast to watch without them. Would like to see more of your reactions (before and after) to the drop, not just the amazing slowees.
I wait with great anticipation for EVERY How Ridiculous video! I am constantly amazed that you keep coming up with new ideas to give us that "WOW!" factor.
The fact that we live in a time where we have a group of guys laughing at Salamis getting cut up by a Spinning Katana machine going 750kph like little boys is great and I’m all for it!
I dont comment often, but love thr vids, nice to see a group of friends just having fun doing what they love. Bretts jokes are always the best and not appreciated enough
I just want to to give a shout out to Brett, he’s always saying positive & encouraging stuff to everyone. Solid dude, world needs more of that kind of thing.
You’re the best at giving the fans what they want. You don’t stay too long at the uninteresting stuff like most people do and you give us all that we can ask for in the cool and most of the time bizarre moments. I’ve watched every one of your videos bc of this!
Currently going through a very difficult and upsetting experience in my life. Just wanted to give you guys my utmost appreciation for bringing me some laughter and joy through it all. It might just seem like you’re messing around and having a laugh (albeit with a very professional setup and lots of hard work!) but you really are bringing so much joy into the world and you deserve to be reminded of it. Thanks again and may God bless you all ☺️✝️
I hope you get through this rough period better than you were before it. These guys also helped me through the worst year of my life last year, and while it was awful, I’m a better and more well rounded person now than before. But these lads helped me when I thought it wouldn’t ever get better.
We've all been there. For those who haven't yet, it will come one day. Nobody gets through life unscathed. The scars are what make us unique and give us wisdom. Stay positive, my friend!
This was a good viddy, boys. There's always something so wholesome about you all, especially shearing the spotlight with the indispensable crew. Love all round.
Happy to oblige with a comment, as get so much joy out of your videos. Found HR this past winter. Love the variety of your ridiculousness, but especially you 3 interacting. Have gone back to earlier HR videos as run out of recent ones, and love how you now show process and failures, not just the end result.
I'm a 30 year old man who loves your videos just as much as the kids who watch them. Your chemistry is amazing and everything you guys do brings a smile to my face for the whole video. Cheers from New Zealand, lads.
I had left this video up and closed my browser. When I reopened it the next day I was about scared out of my seat by the sound of the sword-copter and Heron yelling over it!!
When I was a kid I used to play with a toy I believe were called poppers. They were a piece of rubber in a dome shape. When you put it inside out and put it on the ground it would pop and fly into the air. I had the thought the other day about how high a giant one of these would go and I could see these guys making one.
I think some of the reason these boys are so successful is because they invested in a real slo mo camera very early.. and made something fun into something interesting too
7:07 isn’t that technically a variable-_frequency_ drive? You control the speed of an electric motor by changing the frequency of the electricity it receives. You can tell the motor on this machine is controlled with a VFD because of the whine it makes at low speeds while spinning up (ex. 9:18)
I agree that they are typically called variable frequency drives, at least in the USA. Dr. Google says A VFD is specifically for AC power/motors and modulates the frequency where a VSD can also control the voltage before sending the power to an AC inverter, and therefore can drive DC motors as well (without using the inverter). I was going to argue that what he pointed at was the VFD/VSD Controller, but he said "Drivah", which is close enough.
Such a cool idea. Especially for slow motion effects! You guys never disappoint. Smashing, bashing, and slashing! All for the fans. Always good fun! Keep up the great work.
You guys probably won’t see this but I’ve been watching this channel for almost 8 years now and this is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while! The editing was perfect and it felt like the older videos which was very nice! I enjoy not having so many fast cuts to where the video feels very quick! This video did that and I think you guys are one of the best TH-cam channels there is! Thank you for being who you are and God bless you all! Continued prayers for you and your families and the entire HR crew!
Insane video, would have been cool to see it against some metals that "self sharpen" or chain mail armour like what Katana's were designed for. Also non-newtonian liquids like custard or fake blood bags.
@@thatrandomlemondude it was either that or being destroyed somewhere else or end up in a trash can. Wtf else do you want from it? At least it gave some entertainment. Its basically a fossil
You guys are the best. Love the videos. Keep em coming. I did a church mission in Perth WA in 1979-1981. And my favorite number is 4. Keep up the good work.
This sword machine is the absolute most awesome contraption you've ever contrapted, hands down, no debate. The way it whistles in the air as you spin it up is terrifying. The way it slices anything imaginable is satisfying. If there is one improvement that could be made, it's to find a stronger way to bind the blades to the contraption. Maybe bigger blades/swords with bigger holes for bigger bolts, maybe something custom made. Maybe something with a crossguard built into the blade, and build something to slot the whole handle and crossguard into (make it fit like a jigsaw puzzle piece) so you don't have to rely on flimsy little bolts as the weakest link.
I started watching back when I randomly came across one of your tower drop videos and I still enjoy watching your vids. Very creative at destroying things and I’m here for it.
Everything was great boys! But its always more fun when there is a little competition. Like.... guessing how many slices you think the swords could get out of each item. You always seem so keen on a little competition and I love it.

I loved the loud metallic sound when the Rexy drop happened, followed by Herron saying "Oh that's a sword."
One of the best things about your videos is they just start. No preamble, graphic-laden intros, etc. Just straight to the fun. Love it.
I kinda miss the old HR intro to be honest.
These katanas.. Yoriichi type -1 be like :
@@nickwodzianek8929 yeah, I miss the days when we would get an actual intro and the little animated graphic to start things off. Oh well…
5:48 standing with your head between rotating blades seems like an OSHA violation

Editor Jack is a champion. All these videos take a remarkable amount of editing. Amounts I've never seen needed. What a hero!

Like a massive duct around it? That would be great! Would also show the insane damage a straying blade could do! Love it!
Some rolled sheet metal could be fun too! Get some plan view footage of the carnage!
Damn it! I just wrote this idea out but as an L bracket with a wall. I don't even care! I'm leaving it haha the cylinder would be better though haha
That's a good I idea , I was thinking g back plate
Best idea I've ever heard on this channel. Brilliant!!!

Since you asked, About the editing: I have missed the banter and remarks between the drops, your last videos have felt a little fast to watch without them. Would like to see more of your reactions (before and after) to the drop, not just the amazing slowees.
Perhaps playing some of the banter instead of, or over, the music, while the slowmo plays? Might work out okay.
Yeah, last vids seemed a bit hurried
this definitely seems like the most dangerous of your guys contraptions. Stay safe out there. Loving every minute
9:32 The gummy bear dodging the blades like James Bond avoiding a villain's death trap killed me 😂
