Hammer vs atlas
Hello “How Ridiculous” The last video you did a lot of stuff with the giant 🔨 and you lied about the cans. It look liked 146 cans.
Already been playing 😁
Yo
Man.. Remember when the old giant darts were like the ultimate destroyers and hardly anything could survive against those? Unbelievable how far this channel has come and can't wait to see where it's gonna go in the years ahead
I'm just waiting for how ridiculous in space!
They should put a classic giant dart pointing up at the hammer from the smashpad
Just a nuke
Man remember when they just dropped melons
Real ones remember when they dropped bowling balls on trampolines
8:33 Geologist here! Marble is actually limestone which went through some sort of metamorphosis (experienced high pressures and temperatures). Its build up mostly by calcite (CaCO3) and dolomite (CaMg[CO3]2) Crystals.
I said that too but only the first sentence lol
Unless they're wondering about cultured marble (i.e. manufactured countertops), in which case, it's crushed marble (or calcium carbonate), polymer resin and pigments. Of course, with them asking for a geologist, yeah, I'm guessing they mean the real deal
Literally pause and scrolled the comments for this thank you
@@EpicEvilMonster12 glad I wasn’t the only one
very smort
What a quick start to the viddy! Definitely a new strategy! The 44 club will miss the opening shenanigans, but good on the boys for playing the algorithm!
They’re carrying on from the last video, I think the intros will be back to normal after this. It’s just the same day of filming
@@marcusrushton3862 good
@@marcusrushton3862 maybe true, but I wouldn't be surprised if they match a more Mr. Beast-style pace in future videos, since it's proven to be popular. As someone who watches for the boys and not the stunts, I hope you're right, but I understand if they change it up
Everyone taking notes from mr beast lol
Dude that's what I thought too.. I kinda fast forwarded and when it qent to the next object I was like.. was there no intro? Lo and behold.. there wasnt!
This feels like Mythbusters, just without the science 😂
Jokes aside, I love these guys. Really fun!
To quote Jamie, "The only difference between screwing around and science, is writing it down." I don't see any pens, but I do see good fun.
@@picklepaddy but aren't videos a form of writing it down?
@@picklepaddyAdam said that.
@@wesrandecker Oops. Yes he did. 😅😂
Hammer suggestion:
Two large pieces of quartz on top of each other, done at night. This is because quartz emits light (triboluminescence) when its lattice is broken and would be superb to see on the slowie.
ooh
WOAH THERE BUT THATS A MIGHTY FINE BIG WORD THERE, use it responsibly
Ooh, yes, i had sparkrocks as a kid, basically two bits of rough quarts, and as it said on the packet: Bash them together to see them glow!
There's got to be other things that make light when compressed (that aren't just explosives), a whole viddy of night smashes could be made that way!
That would be awesome! They could even do an entire night episode with that, glowsticks, fireworks, or other things that would flash and make light.
@@SymbioteMullet lifesavers do it. They could just crush a bunch of those
Those paint cans were definitely a 10/10! I can't imagine how that could be any cooler
I saw it and then I couldn't understand why you'd say that.... Until the slow motion
If there was glitter mixed into the paint
The slow motion is a 10/10, before was awful
Only if somehow, there were some type of panels surrounding the area, that would collect the paint spray. It would be necessary to figure out how far away to set them to get optimal mix, and to leave a space for the hammer handle. Advanced Jackson Pollock!!
I agree it was awesome!
Glass: World renowned subject of metaphors featuring fragility
HR: “Oh yeah, definitely gonna survive this many ton hammer being dropped on it. Three pieces, max.”
At impact on the glass cube, the cracks spider so fast it looks like a frame is missing.
You may get a more impressive result with a tempered glass cube or sphere.
Dude that was exactly my thought, like they forgot to render two frames or so XD So weird but also so cool!
Or a super high speed camera. I think someome did use one, and the shatter still happened very quickly
@@RennieAsh Gavin Free from The Slow Mo Guys did a video of breaking glass at 800,000 fps, that's probably the one you're thinking of.
HR Crew: "Where's the Glass Cube?!"
Jack, checking the slow-y: "Gone, reduced to atoms."
*slowie
3:05 to 3:25 is probably the most epic slow-mo shot I've seen from you guys.
Yeah, it's already great and then that purple can comes spiralling out and makes it sublime
It’s def up there
I have seen everyone of your vids pick me pls and ill make good jokes
@@howridiculous you guys gotta stop cutting those slow mo scenes Short, let the blasts play out
Hats off to editor jack making this and every vid look amazing!!! Keep up the good work boys!!
You should start an art museum with all the random squashed objects!
Or donate to a science museum
The engineers you teamed up with to build this thing must bloody love you guys, awesome stuff!
When you look back to when these guys started til now. It's amazing how much effort they put in. None of this tik tok sh1t. Genuine entertainment and leaves you wanting more. Long old week till next Friday to see what crazy stuff they have install for us. Keep it up guys. We love you over here 🏴
I agree, been watching for years and where they are now makes me smile 😃
Wow how ridiculous
This IS TikTok shit but on TH-cam.
Right?? Like in the first 20 seconds of the video something already exploded
Agreed. I eventually get tired of youtubers, but I’ve been following them for years and I’m always exited to see a new vid
Oh man, the pressure waves inside the exercise ball, amazing. You can see how the energy oscillates faster and faster and finally the pressure of that wave ruptures the rubber.
That glass cube was incredible to watch! Just shattered into dust. lol
Still curious how a glass sphere would handle the hammer though. While it may do the same as the cube, the shape could also have a huge impact on its strength. The edges of the cube create weak spots that may be what allowed the force of the impact to shatter it the way it did. The sphere, without those edges, may react more like a Prince Rupert's drop, which can withstand a hammer blow or even a bullet impact without shattering. Either way, it should be a lot of fun to watch.
completely agree!
I was slightly amused when the 2 that said they thought it would crack into 3 pieces, because they clearly don't understand even the basic properties of glass. Glass doesn't deform or break unevenly. It holds until the internal stresses are overcome then it catastrophically fails.
The glass sphere gets my support as well. Lets see if the Coney Joney would still happen.
The linex melon was just so foul 😝
Glass sphere would have similar results. The reason why is because it's being sandwiched between to points and doesn't have any way to reverberate the shock or escape except for out the sides.
Hey, Guys! Got a suggestion for you! You should think about creating some sort of launch system (maybe like a seesaw, which I’m sure would need to either be very sturdy or easily replaceable!) with which you’d use the giant hammer. You could also compete with each other to predict distances of the various objects you’d launch. Thanks for all the entertainment, and Merry Christmas!
Brilliant......
Something like that *would* be cool, but I wonder how you'd effectively harness that hammer's momentum- that's a *HELL* of lot of instant force!
@markrober build/collab?
You guys should put canvases around the paint cans & make art with the Giant Hammer!
that would be EPIC! cheers!
was just getting on to suggest that
Bunch of t-shirts-instant merch
I bet people would buy them!!!!
the way Gaunson says "But it turned to wartahhh" is the funniest thing I've ever or ever will hear in my life
We can all agree that slo mo of the paint cans is one of the best, ever.
O agree
Soda cans were better imo; glass cube was best!
Kinda wish they put t shirts underneath them so we get some cool looking colored shirts or a canvas art xD
@@darknessofcoy you are right
I think a barrel full of oobleck might be interesting. Especially if you make it with a bunch of different colors.
I'd love to see a static timelapse of a shoot like this. I don't think I fully appreciate a) the mess you make and b) the amount of tidying up you do. Loving the hammer. I agree with Jack, pretty close to a 10 on the spray paint [chef's kiss].
Yeh this shoot took about 8 hours so there’s a bit of work going on between the smashes haha
@@howridiculous When I was watching ur vid a rocket league sideswipe ad came nice vids btw 😉👌
"We are not the Slow Mo Guys, but we *are* guys who do good slow mo."
So... are we hinting at a future HR video with Dan and Gav?
highly doubt it. Slow mo guys are more scientific with explonations and everything. this here is just jackass but with objects.
if you can not belive a glassblock shatters in a million pieces when you drop 3 tons on it, you should not be making this kind of videos.
Turns out, yes!
@@SilverPorcupine How'd you like the SMB/HR vid, by the by?
@@MidnyghtSabre twas amazing
That footage of the exercise ball is actually insane, you can see the pressure wave from the contact with the hammer bouncing back and forth on the ball four times, seemingly moving faster with each pass. Super cool!
Sy tidak mengerti bahasa engls..
Looks like its moving faster because it's getting shorter and shorter then pop. So satisfying.
@@Radararakarak gelombang kejut keren
why is nobody calling it the Rexercise Ball?
super, je vous remercie d'avoir rejoint votre chaîne..
I'd love to see how a glass sphere compares to the glass cube. Also, I would love to see what oobleck does with the hammer. But I'm not sure how you would do that. Might have to put it in a giant bowl or something.
Kiddie pool full of obleck
@@joermnyc yup
I think the shape has something to do with the glass as well
I love the fact there's no mucking about, just straight into hammer annihilation.
For real! Mr Beast or like dude perfect will have 30 minutes of footage and only 60 seconds of anything worthwhile
Eh sometimes it is fun just watching them mess around, but I will say 3/4 video should at least be actual content, so this was amazing lol.
I love it! These guys get it
I think I just understood exactly why these guys take cover while the hammer comes down. That shard of beer keg looked deadly.
that slowey of the paint cans was beautiful! you guys should take a still pic of the carnage mid explosion and screen print it onto a shirt. it was that cool looking in my opinion! i’d buy one of those!
Or so we can download it and have it as a wallpaper!!
Congrats! You unlocked that padlock faster than the Lock Picking Lawyer.
Could have been a fluke.
@@palleppalsson Guess they’ll have to try it again to make sure.
I think you should attach the giant axe head to this and try to split some epic stuff! Good viddy fellas as always
marble is a metamorphic rock. It forms when limestone or dolostone undergoes metamorphism, typically due to heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids. This process recrystallizes the carbonate minerals (primarily calcite or dolomite) in the original rock, resulting in the characteristic crystalline texture of marble.
2:46 When Jack said "it's pretty close to a 10" I knew it would be some amazing footage!
Big slow clap for jack👏
bruh, howd you get the user name of just michael
@@michaelip5067 anyone can have it?
@@michaelip5067 multiple people can have the same username on TH-cam
@@fenrix155 oh.......well now i feel dumb
Loves jacks appearances, Ricky is a close second. We need a safe test
You guys should see if you can bust open a safe with the Giant Hammer 🔨
Ye
My son, Caleb, really wants to play Rocket League Sideswipe with you guys! He's a huge fan and even started his own youtube channel with trick shots and often features our Rexy! Thank you!!!
Hammer vs atlasstone would be very interesting and awesome! 🔨
You guys are so amazing!
I love the new stuff you guys try, but dropping things off the tower will always be your bread and butter imo
I'd like to see a giant spring go against the hammer.
3:17
Make this into a painting and it’s now a million dollar painting
Yo do u know what song that is
It's crazy the effort that these guys put into their content, especially compared to other youtubers
They go to a lot of behind the scenes work so they can go out and live out my adolescent destructive desires!
Yeah after every smash they have to pick up all the trash around
When another vid like this (with things likely to shrapnel out a lot), you should see if you can get some ballistics gel dummies (probably attached to some plywood of some kind to keep propped up) so you can show just how bad of an idea it would be to stand outside the bunker :D
And for the glass sphere vs. cube, I'm fairly certain it comes down to each point on the surface of the sphere having an equal distance across for the whole of the object, while the cube has more "fracturable" locations (corners, edges).
That being said, a glass sphere would also get obliterated by the hammer in possibly a more dangerous fashion than the cube (perfect for that ballistics-gel dummy idea :D)
yes this!
Decreasing the aperture while putting a spotlight on the impact zone to get the exposure right was a brilliant move on your guys part. The slow mo looks gavin free quality now! Cheers!
I’m a British geologist, marble is generally formed from metamorphosis of calcium carbonate rich rocks, such as limestones.
Scuba tank & Propane cylinder please!
I would love to see a collab with Gavin/Dan, since HR knows Slo Mo Guys exists it would be just incredible
Propane cylinder is probably a bit dangerous. Would be amazing though.
Well you did four of my suggestions from last week, paint cans, fridge, TV, and the porcelain toilet. Plus the car springs are ready for action which makes five.
More for next week-
A personal item from each HR member, rock paper scissors decides what get hammered and what doesn't 😄.
A big block of ice.
An arm chair with a mannequin sitting in it.
A bathtub full of grapes (lets make wine!).
A bucket of golf balls.
A pile of old printers, copiers, and computers (they deserve what they get).
A filing cabinet (how flat will it be?).
A motor cycle or scooter.
Plastic water jugs full of water.
A lawn mower.
And 44 eggs, "lets give it the raw egg test" as they say on those TV add)
This guy right here needs to be working for them just telling them what to smash, that's a killer list
Damm every single 1 of those suggestions u just DROPPED lol no pun in tended ) would b Phenomenal 2 C in the future great comment man take care 😎..
This channel should change name to "How Excellent". Really. Content is amazing, this is one of my favorite channels.
Nah cos it ridiculous how they think of these things!
How Ridiculous fits better
Shut up 😂😂 you should change your channel name, cause what thay do is ridiculous, not excellent, take your own advice 😂 change your channels goofy name 💯
@@benradcliffe2717 yea
I'd like to see them have a dummy next to the hammer with the shock patches to see what kinda forces and damage would happen to a human body from the shrapnel and sheer explosive force. That'd be neat.
First of all, watching your stuff is always a nice way for me to de-stress after a long day, so thank you for all the great content! Second, I have only ever played Rocket League on PC, and I have a feeling even Rexy would beat me in the mobile version, but I'd still love to give it a try with you guys.
"Never walk under a suspended load" First rule when operating an overhead crane or work near one, no matter if the straps are rated for 10x the weight and you have done the task daily for three decades.
5:50 Please don't get yourselves killed
The toilet wasn’t in position yet. The only time we go into the hit zone is when the hammer is at the top, the safety pin is in and we have a spotter watching at all times ☺️ safety first!!
Someone needs to make a high pressure blob, that has enough room in it so that when the hammer is fully down and on it the air is trapped in one side and it doesn’t burst. And then launch things!
I second this.
OMG the slowy of the spray paint cans was awsome, love how you can see the individual colors right through till the end fantastic..
I appreciate that this video actually started at the beginning of the video. Straight into the action, no boring intro
Yea I started fast forwarding right away and realized I missed stuff.
JHON :)
Try placing a leaf blower so it's pushing air past the front of one of the cameras, but a short distance away to see how much debris it can deflect away from the lens.
If it works that would be great for the messy smashes where liquids get sprayed everywhere.
Many years ago when watching a Formula 1 race taking place in the rain, I spotted how they kept the tv camera lenses on the cars from getting raindrops on & spoiling things for the viewers - there was a fast spinning clear plastic disc in front of the lens, any water landing on it would be immediately spun off, so the camera could still see perfectly well.
Another idea to keep in mind?
Editor jack throwing in that explosion when he slapped the glass cube, genius 😂😵
To answer your question: marble is made of...marble. It's a type of rock lol.
But if you wanna get technical: Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Marble is typically not foliated, although there are exceptions. In geology, the term marble refers to metamorphosed limestone, but its use in stonemasonry more broadly encompasses unmetamorphosed limestone.
another epic viddy boys! anyone else see the ghostly face in the mirror @4:02??
Was about to post this. 😄
It looks like scream
Pensei que apenas eu havia percebido.
11:51 I love that slow mo of the hammer hitting the glass cube and seeing the entire thing shatter in a millisecond
It shatters way faster than a millisecond
@@thebeanmeister6046 both of you guys are wrong because I think he said it shattered in .201 milliseconds and if you round it, it is about 2 milliseconds
@@cesarpena8609 wait, how would .201 round to 2? Wouldn't it round to .2?
@@LincolnDWard isn’t that what I said
@@LincolnDWard oh shoot, your right.
I did say 2 and not .2!
Whoops 😬
The thing about glass is that it has a very high compressive strength, meaning that you have to press down on it very hard to shatter it, but very low shear strength, meaning you can snap a pane of glass in half quite easily.
This is what created the coney-joneys; the impact point was able to support the weight of everything that pushed down on it (everything within a certain angle above it). But everything that was outside that cone was not supported, had to be pulled up by the glass above it which is much weaker and thus snapped off.
With the cube you have a lot of corners that can snap off (especially because the hammer hits the cube at a very slight angle) which allows the hammer to weaken the cube until it eventually breaks catastrophically along millions upon millions of internal fractures.
That being said, I doubt a sphere would hold up much better. 2 tons dropping 7 meters still contains a lot more energy than 100 kilos dropping 45 meters.
This is what I thought. The structural integrity of a cube is way less than that of a sphere. Well put sir!
Huh, you learn something new every day! Thank you for bestowing this knowledge upon me, good sir! (Or madam)
If you guys revisit this video idea, you have to do this with a glass sphere. The shape is significantly stronger than a glass cube.
You guys need to add the “well that’s not in one piece anymore” clip into every video from now on. It such a classic clip and will always be hilarious
Absolutely a 10/10! And I have to say that Jack is really just crushing it with the whole video!
jack is the perpetual MVP (imo). he is really good with a camera.
I get it. He’s “crushing it” LOL
This is getting a bit….
Ridiculous
I feel this has been done many, many times before. 😂
It never gets old though
Just for that your hat should be the next thing the giant hammer gets dropped on.
Of course it is! But the real question is, just...how ridiculous?
Y’all should try to break into a safe with the hammer👍🏽
That slowie of the paint explosion was just insane! Awesome work guys, thanks for the great video! 🧡💜💙
That slowmo with the spray cans is formidable!! 👏🏼🔥
Perfect start to your videos. No wasted time, straight into the action. Ppl click on the video to see a giant hammer smash stuff! Nice not having to wait 5 minutes to see it. Way to go boys
If you can ever get the Slow Mo Guys and the Hammer in the same place at the same time, you HAVE TO do that glass cube again + a big glass ball!
You should measure the speed for the hammer drop without hitting anything and compare it to the speed when it hits an object, just to see how much it slows down or how much resistance each item makes.
You guys might want to bring Richard back and hit some safes with the hammer
I was sooo looking forward to the springs getting hammered! The fire extinguishers gave me an idea. Will the hammer put out a bonfire? Test it for us guys! Build one in a steel barrel and see if the hammer will put it out. 💥
Should nail 2 barrels with devils toothpaste ingredients at the same time, would combine in mid-air as it shoots out at sonic speeds in every direction and probably create one of the coolest effects ever, would probably look like a massive colorful slime wave would just materialize in a huge radius
An HR vid and sideswipe, can’t get any better! Hope I get picked! Love your stuff!
1:36 Rexy's jaw dropped at that one!
You should have had some different colored lasers focused on that glass cube when it was crushed. That might have been even more epic! Great video!
Great idea!
This is like something a Bond villain would use to kill one of their incompetent underlings.
I'd like to see this thing obliterate the biggest, tube TV you can find! The implosions on those things are epic!
Also, how thick of a Line-X layer does it take for a watermelon to survive that?
Also, also, you should get another, thick, steel plate and place it on top of some stuff to see the hammer squash stuff between plates.
Yes. A watermelon with 8 coats of Line X should be fine
Can you guys make a giant nail/spike and hammer it through a massive stump, please??? Love ya guys
hey mates, first of all- I´d like to thank you guys for giving me a huge smile every saturday while watching your videos back here in good old germany. i´ve watched every single one of them and enjoyed them as much as you would want anyone to enjoy your videos! Huge thank you!! and the reason why I wanna play against you and have that litte "Q&A session" is, that i am planing a long trip to australia for when the corona virus is not as present as it it currently on our planet and as a german guy i dont know (m)any australian dudes who could give me some good locations and advices for my journey. I would really appreciate it if you would choose me, but if not, it would be okay too. Keep on going as you are and also stay as you are!! Greetings from Germany! Philipp
Rocket league is awesome and i really like playing it!! You all are even more awesome and i love all your vids!! Combine the 2 and thats just super cool!
I do like it when they get editor jack more involved.. Hes such a big part of the team
You guys keep pumping out great content every week. Keep up the great work guys! Can't wait to see what this thing does vs a bank safe.
You guys are close to putting the Slow-mo Guys out of a job, loved that spray paint shot
360 canvases to capture spray paint explosion would have been rad. Explosive Art.
Been watching your content for quite a while and would be awesome to play with you guys. I have over 4 thousand hours in rocket league and have managed to get into the top 0.1% of players, however, I’ve never touched sideswipe. Would be great to try it for the first time and likely fail miserably. Keep up the great entertainment!
Lets find out

I would love to see a 100% line-x cube or sphere. I think that would beat the hammer!
Its hard to make that. But a ball off Line x maybe?
This video was smashing
I love how they always do their absolute best just to make our days better.
Giant hammer vs glass ball!
And this is why we should play Rocket League Sideswipe together.
Thank you guys for making our days better with your videos! 🙏🏻
Thank you for another awesome video. Love the new content! Keep it up love you guys.
Suggestion...I'm sure you've heard of the hydraulic press channel and if so you have most likely seen paper being crushed. It'd be interesting to see if this hammer can do the same thing
Y’all should do giant hammer versus hulk fist
I recently had a job delivering those kegs to ancient pubs in the south east of England... Should try a 22gal fosters keg 😂😂 I love dropping those things down cellars
@@MADROXonTV yeah I dunno why they did it laying down
I've been to a pub in Ireland that was quite a bit older than the United States ( I'm American ) . I tripped out that I had to almost duck down to walk through a few of the doorways. The reason it was so weird, is because I'm not very tall, like 5'10 . Anyway yeah, that's my old pub story 😁

@@righty-o3585 they are the best ones. It's nice to deliver to modern ones but the oldest pubs have the appeal.

Love you guys!!! Keep it up
ye
I think it would be fun to see a giant ball swing into objects similar to how wrecking balls work. Itll be an interesting change from downward smashing.
Anything that explodes with these guys is so good on the slowy
