Man this show is so underrated, i think it's the show that made fun to learn UA-cam channels , i am very happy that it didn't lost in time , and next generations can watch it and feel the same enjoy in learning ❤
@@app_manifestation My point is that we don't need a parade down the street because something is amazing which everybody seems to think is appropriate these days lol I understand for people that have growing up in this century you wouldn't have seen quality television so this would seem amazing but we don't need to be screaming from the tops of buildings every time we like something. I'm just glad you've got to see what we grew up with quality television
I remember seeing this years ago on T.V. So i went to school to amaze my friends but, they too had seen this and we spent lunchtime making these and throwing them around. A good time was had by all. Until the teachers stepped in. Haha love this show. Thanks for sharing Cheers MM :)
You know, part of the ongoing success of _Curiosity Show_ is that both Rob and Deane are so pleasant to listen to, in their voices, their accents, their rhythm and cadence and tone and volume and clear pronunciation. So many people nowadays on television and in online videos talk in ways that are hard for me to tolerate.
@@CuriosityShow, nice to see your reply, Rob. I read a while back, in one of your replies to someone else's comment on another video, that Deane was dealing with Parkinson's. I hope he's doing as well as he can be doing, and that you're getting plenty of good time with him. My aunt has Parkinson's, and it takes its toll.
You really got me with this segment as a kid. I was making those paper water bombs for years at school, and eventually taught my own kids how to make them.
Im so glad I grew up with those two lads. Rob and Deanne were so awesome to me as a kid. They inspired my curiosity in almost everything when we only had books to research anything. These were the carefree times that I still cherish. Really big shame that those days are gone and almost forgotten.
My brother and I made so many of these as kids. We had no problem throwing them at each other, none of this dropping rubbish :) I found the instructions in a book and had forgotten how to make them so thank you for the reminder.

I was such a big fan of folding cubes in my childhood. I once set out to fold a cube for everyone in my class in primary school. They als worl great as emergency dice. Didnt know they worked as water bombs though!
He should have said that it also works throwing it with force to the face. Actually he was smarter not to mention NOT to do that, because the kids would end up doing it, and if you dont mention it, most of them wouldnt think about doing that.
I made these for many years. The last, memorable one was when I worked. in a 2nd floor office. Staff from an adjacent building were having a group photo taken outside, below our window and I launched a bomb which fell just in front of them and splashed out causing several shrieks 🤪
As I recall from 1972, if the target is expected to arrive soon and the paper not soaked, then the last tuck (1:21) can make the water bomb too secure -- it won't burst completely on the target. In this scenario, fold up the 'points' from the edge but don't tuck them in, to make the weapon explode readily. As in real warfare, you have to make a choice -- maximum range or maximum impact. 🤪
There’s a reason military organisations don’t like their personnel doing paintball. The reason is, even with all their training they still get shot. Learning that there tend to be no clear winners when you enter a conflict is a valuable lesson. I’d much rather learn that with water bombs and rubber bands than with mortars and bullets.
@@sean---the-other-one I don't know where you got that from, where I've served we often trained with a computerized laser system attached to our rifles that knows if you hit your target and when you got shot, that's a common practice in Western armies as well as other similar systems, the main reasons why paintball isn't used are cost and inferior ability to research what happened in the exercise compared to the computerized systems, I also assume the range and shooting style of a paintball gun is drastically different so I assume the military don't want soldiers to get used to shoot in a way they won't shoot in actual combat.
@@E_y_a_l I got it from my imagination. Not everything has to be true, you know. But here comes the guy who trained to kill people just ruining things for everyone again.
Deane continues his long-standing feud with Deane.
Haha yes
Told my wife if she ever met someone just like her she’s hate them. She admitted I was right after a bank visit… years later.
:p
Long standing and high-on-a-ladder standing.
Feudiful

I find it funny that people keep using the term underrated . Everybody knew about the curiosity show in many countries lol
@@James-kv6kbunderrated on UA-cam, should have more followers and views.
Underrated in the newest 2 generations

If these had of been used in WWII instead of metal bombs, imagine how many lives could have been saved.

Try it on your...self?
Only if you are good friends with yourself, and only on warm days

This just gave me a weird burst of nostalgia watching this as a kid on German TV in the late 80s.
We used to make these in school back in the ‘60s.
Back in the day, people had more creative ways of getting entertained. Paper planes, origami, paper helicopter, spinning tops, yoyos.

@@majortom4543
Computer games aren’t creative?

@majortom4543 lol now people just use fidget spinners, and poppers that cost more than a yo yo ever did and require no practice or talent to master
I remember making these as a kid. classic.

I remember learning this from watching the show. My family were unimpressed with me dropping water bombs on them.
I made these as a kid, but i cant remember if i saw them first on the Curiosity Show, or in a paper folding book, which i had a few of.
I can't do this on account of the fact that I'm my own worst enemy.
that cheeky wink at the end
Oh yeah, used to make these in class back in grade school.
Every video watched does not disappoint 👍
I remember making these.

Dean has a twin?!
I made so many of these when I was a kid
i remember the paper-folding-things. never succeded. only folded some very impressive paper-ufos with some semi-working aerodynamics ;)
Then suddenly... second Deane.
On The Honeymooners, at their Raccoon Lodge convention, they used brown paper bags.
I totally forgot about making these as a young lad!
I guess Rob isn't a good friend then

How dare you treat your twin brother that way. Disgusting!
Teaching any kind of bomb making to children is never a good idea.
Sounds like you have already been water bombed by your own grandchildren. XDD
I agree (no I don't) this is considered a Weapon Of Mass Destruction.
