one time my friend and i started slow clapping in a crowd for no reason and other people started joining in not knowing what they were clapping for and we kept getting faster and faster and people were cheering and we got to the point where we were just clapping as fast as we could and then everyone stopped expecting something to happen but there was just silence

"A spilling over of feeling, unfiltered by language" - v sauce I worked at a kindergarten and on the rare occasion you'd show the class something they truly found amazing they'd all clap hysterically. The quote above is apt because no one taught these kids to clap yet they all did it in synchronicity and with pure unfiltered joy. Definitely something hard wired I our brains. Those moments are awesome
I remember feeling great anxiety being in crowds watching a play that I didn't like or what ever and LOVED it when we were expected to clap because it allowed me to burn off that negative bored and anxious energy. Not to mention that my hands were all cold and it helped bring the circulation back, that's what happens when I get anxious my hands get cold.
Being a pilot is much more difficult than serving a fucking Big Mac, by that logic a piano performer shouldn’t be applauded because it’s his JOB to play well
He was at VidCon and told them that he wants to do a bit for a video he's working on and gonna have them all in it, so they made that setup like "after I ask this question someone answer with "amazing question" then go wild and all clap together".
I was wondering why we clap the other day. Thanks for the knowledge! you should do a video about the process of singing. How the ears, brain, and vocal cords work together to make sound.
I think the reason why clapping has become popular as a way of expressing approval and enthusiasm for a performance is because it doesn't interfere with itself and doesn't carry any secondary messages, and also doesn't hurt as much to do to excess. If people chant, they need to carefully focus on staying in tune while simultaneously keeping up the volume, and if a moderate amount of background noise is present or the message isn't coordinated the words become garbled. Clapping on the other hand just becomes louder the more people do it and the more enthusiasm they do it with, no matter how uncoordinated the group is. Similarly, if 10,000 people like a video, it is clearly being shown more approval than a smaller number, even if none of the individual likers coordinate in any way. More likes is just a louder clap, and to extend the analogy further comments can be viewed like the excited hoots and fanmade signs (and occasional boos), distinct from the clapping but still adding to the applause. Of course, comments are even better because they can actually share ideas on the subject, and because of the separating power of computers the individual voices can be heard separately and understood rather than being muddled or lost in the noise.
Why do we clap? Why do we snap? Why do we crack our fingers? Why do we crack our back? Why do we stretch? Why do we talk? Why do we have words? Why do we use pieces of metal and paper to buy stuff? Why do we buy? Why do we like to stare at a screen and watch someones action? Why do we laugh? Why do we play games? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?!?!?!
This reminds me of one time when I was at lunch in middle school, a group of kids started clapping for no reason (I think as a social experiment) and everyone in the cafeteria started clapping. I was on the other side of the cafeteria so no one at my table knew what was going on but everyone around us was looking around confused and clapping so we did the same thing. It was really funny lol. Idk of it was because we where all 12-14 and really wanted to fit in or if it was part of that group mentality, but it was probably that latter because adults where also doing it.
About cocooning: I actually love going to the cinema, especially on the release date of a marvel movie because I often had theater experiences as everyone would clap, laugh, cry, or gasp at the same time. I don’t know if that’s a common trend or if that’s just a “quirk” of this specific marvel-audience. I also noticed I sometimes get the urge to clap out of excitement when watching a really good movie scene even if I’m by myself 😅
Except for special circumstances, people don't clap at the end of a film at the cinema (despite being in a group). In general, people clap only for live presentations.
“Clapping is the most common human noise others are meant to hear that doesn’t involve the vocal chords” What about voiceless consonants, e.g. [t], [p], [k], [f] [s] ?
Man I love Vsauce! The videos are so interesting and educational, and watching them actually got me through some rough times a while back. I wasn't feeling great but instead of moping or, say, cutting myself, I watched Michael's videos! Hooray!
the first instinctive reason for clapping makes a lot of sense actually, I feel awkward clapping in a crowd, but if I watch/see/hear something really funny and well executed I laugh of course, but I just clap at it too... the tendency to 'clap like a retarded seal' when laughing beyond vocalization also fits
Then again, that's probably just a natural response based on what you're used to. You're whole life your brain has been wired to clap when you think something is good, or even just when something is over. It's become natural
Okay, well, it still applies. You've been trained to clap when you think something is good, Pavlovian style. I don't know, I'm usually a nurture over nature guy, but he brings up some pretty good points in the video, and someone had to be the first to clap.
Clapping fits quite well for its purpose, its something easy to do and non straining, it doesn't draw attention to any one person locally and when everyone does it it makes a cool sound
We crap because a: there is leftover waste from our digestive system. Also b: it's one of our body's ways of getting rid of harmful bacteria. A large portion of crap is actually harmful bacteria. And while we do have more secure ways in our body of getting rid of germs, crapping is the best way of getting rid of as many as possible all once. Expelling toxins and harmful microorganisms can happen through our skin and urine as well, and they do so pretty good, but neither of these methods can do it with the same efficiency. And waste is inevitable from our digestive tract, until we switch to eating only pure nutrient tablets and getting rid of all potential harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, crapping will always be a big part of our lives.
IDontBelieveInPenises Waste literally means non useful stuff, so no point in burdening ourselves to say "non-useful waste". Also, Every food does has some waste. Read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomagnification And, Hypothetically, if you did eat pure nutrients with zero harmful bacteria and stuff, no, you would not shit. Just try eating only fruits for a week, you will notice how considerably less often you shit by the end.

watching all his videos to find the best intros
i always keep revisiting vsauce videos because how entertaining they remain every single time i watch them again
the first instinctive reason for clapping makes a lot of sense actually, I feel awkward clapping in a crowd, but if I watch/see/hear something really funny and well executed I laugh of course, but I just clap at it too... the tendency to 'clap like a retarded seal' when laughing beyond vocalization also fits
Then again, that's probably just a natural response based on what you're used to. You're whole life your brain has been wired to clap when you think something is good, or even just when something is over. It's become natural
***** I don't do it when it's finished, the funny/surprising moment can happen anywhere in it, and I'll clap and laugh to it then, not at the end.
Okay, well, it still applies. You've been trained to clap when you think something is good, Pavlovian style. I don't know, I'm usually a nurture over nature guy, but he brings up some pretty good points in the video, and someone had to be the first to clap.
Wow... I didn't know "ersatz" was a valid English word.
Yeah didn't you ever read a series of unfortunate events?
Ersatz wtf
NFSHeld, it’s like fake or a counterfeit.
Wtf is ersatz?
@@mentalerror69 thats the german word for "replacement" or "spare"
I remember, when I was a little kid, I used to read the "applause" sign as "applesauce" instead. >.
Mine's vice versa ._.
Vsauce : Clapping shows enthusiasm, admiration, etc.
Me : Clapping to cut short someone's lecture
How these videos start "why do we breath?" How they always end "because, you're alone inside your own head".
Lol true
part 2 - why do we fap :)
***** You slap because you got a degree in the subject of slapping.
***** lol
I actually believe we fap because we want new and healthy sperm, so our kids will be healthy and stuff.
Alex Skulte part 5, why do we crap?
Part 6 why do we wear caps
I want to thank Michael and Vsauce for inspiring the first ever UA-cam channel dedicated to music scholarship - Ethnomusicology Explained!
Clapping fits quite well for its purpose, its something easy to do and non straining, it doesn't draw attention to any one person locally and when everyone does it it makes a cool sound
Dammit. I clicked on this thinking it was "Why Do We Crap?".
The search for answers continues.
We crap because a: there is leftover waste from our digestive system. Also b: it's one of our body's ways of getting rid of harmful bacteria.
A large portion of crap is actually harmful bacteria. And while we do have more secure ways in our body of getting rid of germs, crapping is the best way of getting rid of as many as possible all once. Expelling toxins and harmful microorganisms can happen through our skin and urine as well, and they do so pretty good, but neither of these methods can do it with the same efficiency. And waste is inevitable from our digestive tract, until we switch to eating only pure nutrient tablets and getting rid of all potential harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, crapping will always be a big part of our lives.
Holden Roberts, and we clap because we're happy or because we're supposed to. See how the answer alone is different from a vsauce video?
IDontBelieveInPenises Waste literally means non useful stuff, so no point in burdening ourselves to say "non-useful waste".
Also, Every food does has some waste. Read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomagnification
And, Hypothetically, if you did eat pure nutrients with zero harmful bacteria and stuff, no, you would not shit.
Just try eating only fruits for a week, you will notice how considerably less often you shit by the end.
aryaj singh Oh, so you are waste? (Sorry I had to) LOL JK Nah you cool.
BottomRightRitchie lol

Other stuff: 80%
Turns out clapping really isn't that interesting
This is inaccurate
4:20 I love how you're not being one of those people that expects everyone to be able to snap their fingers
I live for the reblogs, reblogs, reblogs. I live for the reblog-blogs, I live for the reblog-blogs.
I live for the: way that you share and like my selfie.
The reblogs, reblogs, reblogs.

Dylan Lategan I remember I once friend requested you, and I thought about telling you that you grotesquely under-use your account.
Sad to think these classics are coming up on 10 years old
