Because as stated in a previous comment, everything outside of his house was staged. He definitely did a number on the house's sewer system, but the city/municiple system was not affected by his shenanigans.

Man I thought I had messed up when I somehow managed to flush an entire dang stick of deodorant as a lil lad, I'm glad I didn't have orbeez at my disposal as a child lol.
2:09 let's do some biology here, there is another way to make them small. Osmosis, try to draw the water out of them. How? Simply, add some water with very high concentration of any soluble salt, so water from the balls will be drawn outside them to the salty water.
Sounds like the average water softener tank operation. Plastic beads that absorb stuff from the water like iron and such, salt bath makes it release and wash away. But not the water itself so I don’t know how that would work.
@@michaelszczys8316 in our body i believe that if you have to much excess water they use salt to extract it i think in the blood cells there is a tiny bit of salt i think and the salt atracts the excess water from the body and this could cause a major problem like dying. Thats why the doctors will use salt the same way the salt from the cells attracts the water in hopes the water will follow the salt and go back down go the urinary system in hopes that it exits.
Ok but wouldn't the orbeez fill back up once fresh water rinsed past them again? Getting them out of the drain is still a problem if they can reabsorb water.
Ppl just don’t think about how things can afffect other things when you “flush” or empty the drain.... Worst things I’ve seen, an apartment complex was clocked from sanitary pads from some ppl flushing them😉 Hope never have to see these, & wonder if the salt “does” work🤷🏼♂️ Cheers✌🏼
I've had to pull dozens of 'flushable' wipes out of a pub's sewer pipes before they hit the main drains, they're not designed for cotton wipes here, jeez the smell still haunts me.
I was working with a guy in a country jail drunk tank, the drain in the floor was busted so we had to cut out the bad section and oh jeez when we cut that pipe this black goop came shooting out covering everything. I will NEVER forget that smell.
@@niogel it was the out waste for a small B&B guest house, and it's charged at £30 to £40 a night so super cheap for like, say, handymen, cowboys, and asshole level contractors. It was stopped FULL for about 2m of raw sewer line purely dedicated to "flushable" wipes.

I remember when my sister got a big old 1/2 gallon container of these at a goodwill... She filled an inflatable raft with them and "swam around in them". after a week it smelled like sewage as the water started to become stagnant. Someone dumped them out on the grass and they dried back up. For the next few months the orbs would grow back whenever it rained...

I don't know about Orbees, but when I worked for Roto-Rooter (this was late 1980's) we got called to Santa Clara County jail where inmates dumped rice down the drain. The rice swelled and came up the toilet, floor drains and sinks in the bathrooms near the culinary area. We used shovels to remove the rice from toilets, wet vac to clear what we could from floor drains. We used cable machines with hose attachment to clear the rice. I can't remember how many hours we spent clearing those drains. The point is, if it swells when wet, don't put it down the drain! Love your channel!
I came to this channel so I could take a nap (first video was testing 5 min crafts) but man. I love this dude, such a real seeming person. Like you can sit down and have a beer with him. He's got my subscription

When I was working landscaping, we'd use this substance known as "swell gel" (or P4), which was basically silica particles that you'd add water to. What we would do is mix this with the soil when planting anywhere that wasn't irrigated, then the silica would hold water and the roots could tap into it.
@@TeDynef it helps to retain water for longer periods of time, so instead of watering a lawn every other day, it has a slow release mechanism so that you'd water it once a week instead.
Hey Roger! Saw this Vid, I sent it to my coworker for the Shock. Next day we got a work order for a “disposal” issue. Pulled her PTrap and sure enough a relative situation! This woman poured psyllium husk down her drain!!! It Absorbed all the water and created a gel like seal throughout the drain, completed compacted the drain. Luckily she was in the first floor, not effecting the top floors. Solution-5Gal Hot Water, pour down affected drain (WITH PTRAP PROPERLY ASSEMBLED) let water stand till finally passes-after I filled the PTrap with baking soda and poured vinegar down drain, little by little DONT just empty a bottle in sink or they’ll be more issues. It cleared up pretty. (Apartment Maintance Tech-Austin Tx)
It’s a polymer of sodium polyacrylate, salt doesn’t dissolve them, it just draws the water out. Hopefully they get to a bigger line before they expand again
Treatment plant operator here: I’ve seen a tsunami of plastic tampon applicators in a bar screen, but never Orbeez. If I did, I’d probably scream in terror for about a minute or two because that’d probably occlude the heck out of a bar screen. If it even got that far and didn’t clog a pump or several on the way there!
I remember hearing about this. The first part of the video did happen. The part that you see outside and the letter from the city were faked. He did however get into trouble for faking the letter.
That is so crazy!! My kids play with orbeez outside in the kiddy pool! I actually use them to keep my plants watered during the hot days of summer and they work so well!
When i was a kid i used to light firecrackers and throw them into a toilet. I'm so damn lucky that it didn't blow up to pieces. I even flushed a few. It just seemed so fascinating to me that the fuse would still be burning underwater.
So Mark Rober did a video of him filling a swimming pool with orbez but he also used a tarp so it did not mess up the plumbing. Super satisfying to watch someone jumping into a pool of these things

A city official won't tell you that you have to file a complaint, they can do it themselves.
Third, he says he received that letter in his mailbox right after walking his dog. If he went to walk his dog in the same day, that's extremely fishy. French bureaucracy isn't that fast, you don't receive a letter ~1 hour after it's happened. He'd have received it the day after, at the very least.
Cool but it would be better if it did happen to him
@@cndvdxyhjblbilg why? if it was real he wouldn’t be the only one affected.
He said it was fake and a prank on his viewers, no damage to other neighbors, but his own pipes were damaged.
J'étais chaud pour traduire t'abuse XD
@Mikayla W it was on his viewers, so not really.
Interestingly enough, nobody could find an actual news story or police report as far as I know.
Because as stated in a previous comment, everything outside of his house was staged. He definitely did a number on the house's sewer system, but the city/municiple system was not affected by his shenanigans.
@@Wyrmvonsturm yeah, the neighbours participated in the joke, but the plumbing of his house was truly fucked
When a man with a mustache see's Roger Wakefield's mustache their mustache falls off as it is worthless now
6:15 he got a citation from the city hall, saying that someone went to the gendarmerie or the local police department and filed a complaint against him or the person responsible for "polluting the drainage with balls of various sizes, bla bla bla violating some penal code" so he pretty much gonna pay his entire life for the costs of unplugging the sewers of the city ....
I can already hear Drain Addict saying: "Don't even think the double-barrel will fix it this time..."
& ratty saying where’s the 🌽 corn👍
The audio of the original video is priceless. It's in French but definitely worth listening to.
What’s the link
@@goldenmuffinz2892 Just search " French guy orbeez"
Bruh i remember when this happened
Everyone in France knew the guy after that lmaoooo
Any idea what ammount did he have to pay off for damage he caused?
@@fingerstyleguitas9046 it was fake.
@@fingerstyleguitas9046 Nothing cause it was fake
I was literally laughing so hard when the police was talking to him
The neighbors: “Hunny!”.....”There are orbeezs coming out of the sink!”
Man I thought I had messed up when I somehow managed to flush an entire dang stick of deodorant as a lil lad, I'm glad I didn't have orbeez at my disposal as a child lol.
2:09 let's do some biology here, there is another way to make them small. Osmosis, try to draw the water out of them. How? Simply, add some water with very high concentration of any soluble salt, so water from the balls will be drawn outside them to the salty water.
Yes this is very true if the human body feels up with water the doctors will use salt to extract the excess water from the body
@@timmiepigeonlover8960 Yup this principal is used to treat some conditions like cerebral edema
Sounds like the average water softener tank operation. Plastic beads that absorb stuff from the water like iron and such, salt bath makes it release and wash away. But not the water itself so I don’t know how that would work.
@@michaelszczys8316 in our body i believe that if you have to much excess water they use salt to extract it i think in the blood cells there is a tiny bit of salt i think and the salt atracts the excess water from the body and this could cause a major problem like dying. Thats why the doctors will use salt the same way the salt from the cells attracts the water in hopes the water will follow the salt and go back down go the urinary system in hopes that it exits.
Ok but wouldn't the orbeez fill back up once fresh water rinsed past them again? Getting them out of the drain is still a problem if they can reabsorb water.
*Never thought i would enjoy this channel, ty algorithm*
lmao my parents had that same dry vacuum for over 20 years. It worked great until my sister tried to vacuum the aquarium.
That quick transition from normal conversation to just...
*”ohmegawd”*
The fact that you could tell the water level through those gooey orbs tells me you are a master of this craft sir.
Ppl just don’t think about how things can afffect other things when you “flush” or empty the drain....
Worst things I’ve seen, an apartment complex was clocked from sanitary pads from some ppl flushing them😉
Hope never have to see these, & wonder if the salt “does” work🤷🏼♂️
Cheers✌🏼
My neighbors were flushing diapers and fabric down the toilet... in addition to sanitary pads and tampons.
the salt does indeed work
@@Dean..... what idiots
Tampons, army men and goldfish parts clogged up the complex I was at. We were scooping most of it out at the clean out!
Sulfuric acid*
I've had to pull dozens of 'flushable' wipes out of a pub's sewer pipes before they hit the main drains, they're not designed for cotton wipes here, jeez the smell still haunts me.
oh no
I was working with a guy in a country jail drunk tank, the drain in the floor was busted so we had to cut out the bad section and oh jeez when we cut that pipe this black goop came shooting out covering everything. I will NEVER forget that smell.
Bar and restaurant drains are the absolute worst! I feel ya. Its haunting!
@@niogel it was the out waste for a small B&B guest house, and it's charged at £30 to £40 a night so super cheap for like, say, handymen, cowboys, and asshole level contractors. It was stopped FULL for about 2m of raw sewer line purely dedicated to "flushable" wipes.
I was always told by plumber friends & relatives of mine never to flush wipes even if they're marketed as "flushable."
His facial expression when the toilet lid opens up is priceless.
1:37. Your explanation alone helped more than you could ever know
nearly lost my lung laughing my soul out when i saw this live on twitter in his latrine/wash/rest-room, then i saw that storm drain and the engineer in me flopped harder than Pluto's planet status
I remember when my sister got a big old 1/2 gallon container of these at a goodwill...
She filled an inflatable raft with them and "swam around in them". after a week it smelled like sewage as the water started to become stagnant. Someone dumped them out on the grass and they dried back up. For the next few months the orbs would grow back whenever it rained...
Omg this is iconic xD
Your mustache reminded me of a Clash of Clans character
The barbarian
Your moustache reminded me of the barbarian from clash of clans *
The fact that the orbee guy is french makes it even funnier.
"Oh non! Il y a trop d'orbeeez! (:("
Mon Dieu!
He's a german who lives in france.
He has a very strong accent when he speaks
I like this channel !
I'm learning things !
Ah, also, the text at 3:28 is:
"Omg it's the neighbor, listen!"
"I'm in trouble"
The text at 6:47 says:
"Omg listen!"
"I'm in big trouble!!"
I would imagine this could be a dangerous stunt. Probably costed millions.
McBean 56545 his house his choice 😂
@@mxsochist its not his entire sewage system,nobody would have cared if it was just his house
Pata Pajak it’s his plumbing that HE pays for, if he destroys his entire cities plumbing by just destroying his then it’s the cities fault for having garbage systems
Not even close to millions.
@@mxsochist Sewage systems are designed for poo,pee,and toilet paper,not thousands of orbeez
This is like that Curious George episode where after he's done taking a bath, his bath toys go down the drain and screws up his pluming.
ah, another man of culture i see
Oh yeah
"Boxes of these to the swimming pool"
😂😂😂
I don't know about Orbees, but when I worked for Roto-Rooter (this was late 1980's) we got called to Santa Clara County jail where inmates dumped rice down the drain. The rice swelled and came up the toilet, floor drains and sinks in the bathrooms near the culinary area. We used shovels to remove the rice from toilets, wet vac to clear what we could from floor drains. We used cable machines with hose attachment to clear the rice. I can't remember how many hours we spent clearing those drains. The point is, if it swells when wet, don't put it down the drain!
Love your channel!
I came to this channel so I could take a nap (first video was testing 5 min crafts) but man. I love this dude, such a real seeming person. Like you can sit down and have a beer with him. He's got my subscription
This is INSANE, I've been a fan for a little bit now but nice mustache
"So what did you do" him: " I got orby's in my bathtub and the orby's flooded the whole city"
Been up all night, currently 6am and I am watching a plumber... Somehow some of the most interesting content i've seen in a while and I am now subscribed to the channel, keep up the good work!
2 years later and I find this comment weirdly relatable 😂
Lol he said that puppy already smoking 😂😂😅
Thank you so much for the analysis
No problem!
I remember that he stated on his twitter that, like most of his joke videos, this was fake and made for people to laugh at him.
There are some Orbeez that can increase to the size of golf balls or soccer/basketballs.
Yeah this video/series was actually a stunt, hate to break it to ya'll.
Great opener, you got a new subscriber in those 3 seconds
Welcome aboard! So
3:00 it reads “omg it’s my neighbour, listen. I’m in trouble”
They need to cancel those little orbs! LOL...
When I was working landscaping, we'd use this substance known as "swell gel" (or P4), which was basically silica particles that you'd add water to. What we would do is mix this with the soil when planting anywhere that wasn't irrigated, then the silica would hold water and the roots could tap into it.
Like dirt and earth does? Omg.... just why
@@TeDynef it helps to retain water for longer periods of time, so instead of watering a lawn every other day, it has a slow release mechanism so that you'd water it once a week instead.
Just so you're aware, the original videos were staged, he didn't actually clog all his city's drains with orbeez or get an order from the gendarmerie.
1:08 : thinking outside of the tub 🛁 😂 I feel funny
Hey Roger!
Saw this Vid, I sent it to my coworker for the Shock. Next day we got a work order for a “disposal” issue. Pulled her PTrap and sure enough a relative situation! This woman poured psyllium husk down her drain!!! It Absorbed all the water and created a gel like seal throughout the drain, completed compacted the drain. Luckily she was in the first floor, not effecting the top floors. Solution-5Gal Hot Water, pour down affected drain (WITH PTRAP PROPERLY ASSEMBLED) let water stand till finally passes-after I filled the PTrap with baking soda and poured vinegar down drain, little by little DONT just empty a bottle in sink or they’ll be more issues. It cleared up pretty. (Apartment Maintance Tech-Austin Tx)
Havent heard of orbeez's
But I'm also not a freaking idiot to do this
It’s a polymer of sodium polyacrylate, salt doesn’t dissolve them, it just draws the water out. Hopefully they get to a bigger line before they expand again
wont expand again, the video is fake..
guy: opens toilet seat
toilet:creepy minecraft cave noises
Aye shout out to the Wisconsin fitting. Ppl look at me crazy and I’m in TX LOL
0:15 ‘orbeez are a little ball’ really tickled me 😂
“This is gonna create problems”
Yeah I though so lmfao
The fact he thought it was wise to think these would go down the drain is mind blowing. 🤣😂🤯
Edit: Your toothbrush comment was golden!
I'm surprised that Orbeez hasn't been banned on the market.
Treatment plant operator here: I’ve seen a tsunami of plastic tampon applicators in a bar screen, but never Orbeez. If I did, I’d probably scream in terror for about a minute or two because that’d probably occlude the heck out of a bar screen. If it even got that far and didn’t clog a pump or several on the way there!
what are like the worst things that you could see that would make you super worried?
Was studying videos while I’m still in an apprenticeship and seen this 😂
that “oh my god” when he opened the toilet lid made me cHOKE
great video keep these coming!!!
I remember hearing about this. The first part of the video did happen. The part that you see outside and the letter from the city were faked. He did however get into trouble for faking the letter.
wow thats crazy
That is so crazy!! My kids play with orbeez outside in the kiddy pool! I actually use them to keep my plants watered during the hot days of summer and they work so well!
Old school boomer stuff like this is why i subscribed. A plumber who knows what he's doing, giving me loads of free information
I put 10 orbess on my house toilet then i flushed it the water rised a bit and 7 year old me was like "Oh sht"
I've had that feeling before
"these arent something i'd play with"
Roger a week later:
When i was a kid i used to light firecrackers and throw them into a toilet. I'm so damn lucky that it didn't blow up to pieces. I even flushed a few.
It just seemed so fascinating to me that the fuse would still be burning underwater.
Feces flying around to the bathroom
wtf the fuse stays lit underwater?
So Mark Rober did a video of him filling a swimming pool with orbez but he also used a tarp so it did not mess up the plumbing. Super satisfying to watch someone jumping into a pool of these things
Dude,your such a Wholesome guy...we love you man
This man has the most perfect moostache
When did Dave Ramsey pivot from finance to plumbing? Covid must've sent the financial markets to the shitter.
Roger, your videos are informative and your delivery style is always spot on. That said, I worry about putting this information forward as there are many crazies out there who are now educated on how to cause havoc to public or private plumbing. This aside, thanks for your work and making it available to all. Have a good weekend.
Oh, don't worry, it would eventually occur to some moron. At least Roger has tried to warn others who might be tempted.
too bad he wasn't smart enough to realize this was all 100% faked!! I knew it the first time i saw it.
Roger: I wouldn't play with these.
Also Roger: I want to take a box and empty it into a pool
:D
@1:22 your reaction was priceless 😂😂
