- Gav and Dan forgot to bring a knife to the picnic. Thankfully they brought 500 elastic bands. Shot at 1600fps with a Phantom Flex

Dan and Gav sitting at a table together. Watermelon instinctively knows to throw guts at Dan's lab coat instead of Gav's

Nathan Stevenson and the rubber band ball
1:17 is a great insight into just how slow the human reaction is to danger. By the time they started moving back parts of melon were already hitting them. Drive safe!
On the other hand, notice how quick our natural reaction is to protect our eyes though. In that same shot, you can see they both close their eyes in time to avoid any bits, juice, seeds, etc., even considering how fast the explosion was. It's also crazy how quick instinctive reactions are.

The Fast-Mo Guys
More like " The Timelapse Guys "
RassilonTDavros thanks 🙏🏼
Anyone else rewatching these old videos find them super relaxing
The peak years of UA-cam
Yup 2020
Peak youtube was 2006-2010
Now it’s just 30 second long shorts. ☹️
Gavin looks like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo
I was thinking that omg
I was thinking that too!
I will never see Gav in the same way again
I hadn't thought of that before but you're totally right. holy crap.
Like let’s get out of here Danny boy!
The secret way of making rubber band balls
Rubbermelon balls
+Eva M. Good one
I was just about to comment that #LifeHack
That's what I thought
#LifeHack So true,,
Anyone else think at 3:44 the rubber band ball was gonna smack him in the face? That would've been so awesome, dude.
lol
+Rimfeldt lol your demented
+Mandee Keith ا.عفهههننززنهذ تهه
Yeh am glad its free
just using it not
I love how when it explodes, Dan just sits there for a moment in shock, where as Gavin just immediately gets up to the camera.
In case you don’t know, the Phantoms only keep a few real time seconds worth of footage so as not to waste literal petabytes of space if the Phantom ends up recording for hours on end until it’s triggered. Hope that made sense
And that is how to make a rubber band ball!
Rubber band time bomb.

+Juvenile Beast not exactly
OK then...
These guy's seem like some genuinely awesome and down to earth people to hang out with.
*guys
but yeah, I'd really love to have friends like these. Luckily, some seem to be similar. (:
0:35 the fast-mo guys
just about to say that
Try dat
A decade or so ago, these guys would have been a regular segment on some Saturday morning show.
This video was a decade ago
I could only imagine a torture device made like this in the mid-evil times. except a melon, your head
+Cinemaniac Jean Tell that to the creator of all the SAWS & every other horror movie; stop being sensitive. The guy is pointing out something that (hopefully never done) could happen.
+Oderus Urungus Whoever said nobody did this before? >:)
+Casey Fraz Animation dont give ryan ideas
plz dont ;-;
you know what shia labeouf would say
It's a win-win because you get water melon and a rubber band ball
I've been binge watching these episodes and this is truly best friends goals!
HAHAHAHAHAHA! To think the internet was designed to control nuclear weapon launches back in the 60's - 70's now were watching cats and exploding water melons!
Um... And porn.
+Atom Blast ...so much porn.
Well,Us squid kids could use that.
Sorry to say Paul, but the internet wasn't designed to do that. Do your research. Jk Jk :) ( don't take this the wrong way)
Lol
I find it pretty damn adorable how Gavin RUNS for the camera as soon as they're done. He's like an excited little scientist.
And in the end, you get a free rubber band ball!
Yayz!
OMG YAY!!!!!!
yeah i noticed that XD i was like "omg rubber ball :D! "
But it's full of watermelon!
M CP that's how everyone got disqualified from the rubber ball contest or at least the best way
Goggles wouldn't have been the worst idea. Just sayin'
I show this video to doctors when trying to explain my chronic pain. I feel just like that watermelon sometimes.
congrats, youve just developed a new torture technique
gotha fkin try this lol
I think he was joking. :)
Oh god Gavin why would you think of doing that to a human head.... That sounds like a legit and absolute horrific way to torture someone.....
i want to try that now
might get a few migraines from that.
maybe but what if its not me
alex bowden whoever its to might get a few migraines from that maybe even a strand of white hair from the overdose of pain...
Advice: Don't watch Game of Thrones, dude.
One of your best videos yet! I LOVE IT!
2:53 Xenomorph egg hatching.
Thought the same thing.
These videos are actually a good way to see how the human body reacts in situations. At speeds like these it is all instinct.
Ferb.... I KNOW what we're gonna do today!!!!
hehe *gonna do today* XD
:)
I love that not only do their videos show things in slow motion, but it also reveals how slow human reaction time really is
Dan said ''hello internet''
Who else says hello internet?
Dan Howell.
And MatPat from game theory.
Hello internet! Welcome to GAME THEORY! 😂😂
I was just thinking that. All Internet Dans the same?
You are the bomb :)
PROTIP
Gavin's got the best job. Play video games daily, then do some cool shit in slow mo on the other hand. Oh the jealousy -.-
I'm like peanut butter jealous
Phenom Magnus Frederiksen Yeah, and don't forget his MAIN job, which is working on movies. That's why he has such an expensive camera.
2:53 looks like something was about to be born out of that watermelon 😂😄
And out of the top of this watermelon arised a god.
siêu nhan
0:36 never thought the slow mo guys would ever do a fast forward
4:17 officially confirms that Dan and Gav are the creators of ASMR
*quietly chomp chomp
Bob Ross.
1:27
See! That wasn't to cut a watermelon!
That's the secret to instant rubber band balls!
YAASSS
This made millions of black people cry.
*****
No, he meant black people, you fucking racist.
What If They Did It On Chicken Though
They'd Get furious.
***** Not yours when you copied off someone else in the first place. Let alone that these black jokes are unoriginal. Anyways, keep on filling the void with your pathetic internet life. Troll.
Rewording popular comments? Really?
This is the coolest way to make a rubber band ball! And Dan's slomo Stalone smile, haha so funny. Your videos are great. Cheers!
I love how the second time it comes apart by pieces at a time, it's really interesting
And that kids, is how you make your own rubber band ball.
I love this...
Watermelon is love, Watermelon is life.
Waffle C ITS WATERMELOONE
Narwhal Cake did you get that form jerry, max and all the others?
1:38 SHAGGY IS THAT YOU?!?!?!
So that's how they make rubber band balls...
I think so
Plot Twist
The Slo Mo Guys speed up time
like some perverse game of Jenga. you have no idea which band will be the BAND OF DESTRUCTION!
This needs a 4k repeat... this is genius
Honestly, one of the coolest things about this is watching how quick the human body reacts to protect the important parts. You will notice on the slow-mo part that, even though the watermelon is completely gone before they can even move their hands, their eyes blink shut before a single drop reaches the face. Wild.
1:17 lol that fly is like "sup dudes, dont wanna miss the yummy melons
Lol
epic james flies see in slow motion so they would've seen that anyway :D
Some Guys, Some Games ACTUALLY, They don't see in slow motion, they just process images faster.
Dan Knoblauch well seeing in slow motion is the best way we can understand it (relate to it as humans)
I love how the rubber bands turned into a ball after explosion. *sick*
we need this again guys
I never thought I'd see the day! Fast motion in a slow mo guys video!
Kids in Africa could have eaten those rubber bands
Lol
Yes only the rubber bands not the watermelon only the rubber bands
TheNerdEdward old joke mate
Techommentary no,we all know Africans love watermelon
now i want watermelon...
You guyz are awesome dude... I love your videos and watch regularly how did u get so much crazy ideas... All the very best for your upcoming projects respect and love from Pakistan....
i like the formation of the rubber band ball
every flick of a rubberband in the beginning made me blink
I love how the Slow Mo Guys had to speed the video up.
What never ceases to amaze me is how little amount of stuff ever hits them...
IT'S FANTASTIC!
BIG UP SLOW MO GUYS!
So I did this to the people locked in my basement. It takes 685 rubber bands on average to smash someones head like this.
USFighter Which brand? What thickness? What was the air quality like? Bone structure and stiffness? Did you drug them first? Did you kill them first? I NEED TO KNOW.
***** Office Depot, 3" x 1/8", air quality was wet and damp, bone structure varied from grown man about 6' tall to middle aged man about 5'8. I did not drug them while putting the bands on but to get them tied up and stabilized I did use a special concoction of drugs. They were very much alive before band 685.
USFighter Duly noted. Will be attempting soon but with a different set of variables. I want to see what affect they have on the number of rubber bands. I need some victims I mean volunteers though.
Wut. Da fuq.
They probably would have died due to the blood circulation being cut off
get somebody to love you like gav does his slow mo footage
3:41
These guys are my new favorite UA-camrs
this was the coolest one by far!
it should have been how to intently make watermelon juice.. with rubber bands
Gavino Free and Dan the Man have yet another viral video... suck it Ryan!
I love the compliments they give each other
"Good noise there. Good noise."
These were the best days of the internet.
Why does gavin always rush to his camera when they've done whatever they were doing?
Because recording at high frame rates creates massive file sizes, and I assume they want to get as many takes in as possible.
Lol, no problem dude. Gotta be the good guy sometimes. ^_^
From what I remember from a podcast explanation, the phantom camera he uses has the ability to record a certain amount of seconds (let's say 4, for the sake of it, I think it's more.) after hitting the button, that same amount before, or an exact hybrid (2 before, 2 after.)
The high speed camera records backwards in time watch their FAQ
It's an expensive camera I would rush to it too
and that kids is how you make a rubber band ball
they arent the slo mo guys anymore, but thank you for sparing us from the boredom
This is the quality content I signed up for
their faces are so funny
Especially Gav's.
Thats why I watch these, its the hilarious slow-mo faces
xD
Would love to see this again at a higher speed in 4k!
Re watching this I remember how it was the first if your videos I watched. I laughed so hard when the watermelon split and watching it again, I laughed just as hard
This is the most soothing vid I've seen
I wonder what would happen if you did that to someone's head.
If someone did it on my head. By then I had become a big head. I'm allergic to rubber. :P
Well Then!
***** I watch too many serial killer documentaries 😅
+Baudshah Suleymon When I went for you :)
isweartogodifyoutookitseriosly
2:52 looked like an alien egg opening!
What was even more incredible was there faces
You guys are beyond creative
0:34 Hey this is the slow mo guys not the sped up guys
so majestic... :' )
I'm more impressed that our brain can process even quicker than 1600fps and shut the eyes very fast enough when the melon debris were only half way before they reach the eyes
The fun part about these videos, at least to me, is seeing just how slow human reaction time actually is.
And this is why corsets are bad.
yeah i heard they're uncormfortable
Lol actually pregnancy causes more displacement than corsets do and corsets give more support than a unborn baby does lol
Corsets aren’t bad, just don’t use one not suited to your body and don’t decide that suddenly you want a tiny waist by shocking it into a really tight corset when you’ve never corset trained in your life! Kinda like wanting to run a 24 hr marathon when you’ve only run 5 mins as a max before. Lol
They can be bad if you wear it wrong, or for too long. But most corsets are fine.
Most corsets are harmless as long as they're made for your body
Does any one else think this should be a mortal kombat fatality
Jerry Purpdrank would do it LOL
How fast our eyes can react. That's amazing to see too.
Buzzfeed thinks they came up with this smh
Gavin looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo
And that my friends is how to make a rubber band ball.
I cannot believe this was nearly ten years ago. Gav and Dan look so young.
This is the easist way to make rubberband balls and cut water melons in half
That's so goddamn beautiful.
It's so weird how it cracks at the top and once when the crack hits the middle the bottom just explodes and the melon gets cut in half
once the cracks get to the middle, the watermelon can't handle the pressure and go boom. pretty neat huh? ;p
Hubert Cumberdale science.
Hubert Cumberdale lol, go *boom*
This is madness... Fast-forwarding in a Slow-mo channel
EPIC EXPLOSION!!!
And that's how you make a watermelon filled rubber band ball!
Dorks + $15,000 Slow Motion Camera =12.88 million views.
Still more views then you tho
saquist It's a $150,000 camera.
TomTommyThomas
So be it.
Ya mad?
serene...almost melancholy.
Can you believe it. There was a time-lapse in a slow mo guys video
People in 1960's: There'll be flying cars in the year 2000
Gavin and Dan in 2012: Cutting watermelons in half with rubber bands
Well, there goes a fatality idea for the next Mortal Kombat game.
look up Kotal Kahn's fatality in MKX he gives you a bearhug so hard ur head pops off and ur innards flow out
+Jonah Bublitz. LmAO
3:49 I thought the rubber band ball was going to hit gav XD
So did I
For the first time, a time lapse in a slow mo video!
omg the slow mo guys fast forward... what is life
