   Ahh, there's noting better than watching a Rube Goldberg device do it's thing...

5. 5 Anonymous on Sep 29th, 2006 said:

   John, the point of Rube Goldberg devices is to do something simple with a really complicated machine. This isn't the best one i've seen, but it's pretty good.

   John's an idiot... this thing took more brain power to build than he can comprehend... very nice

   Im really impressed. i really like how it was done with very common household objects, you usually see these done with preset boards, domino's, and specific weights, but im pretty sure most of what was used could be found in the average home. Very well executed.

    everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but when people like john make their's known it's always so pathetic--the lack of grammatical skill and atrocious spelling made me cringe. anyway, this was awesome--so much time and effort was obviously involved, but i bet it was all worth it the first time it worked.

16. 16 tenbux79 on Sep 30th, 2006 said:

    it was wonderful to see someone use time in a fun thoughtful way as to make a rube goldburg machine the only thing he should have had was water in that glass...wouldn't that had made it interasting..? maybe he did...anyways I can't wait to see if this guy makes anymore..P.S. John you are a stupid fucking bastard asshole and need to get a better education Thanx

17. 17 Rural01 on Oct 1st, 2006 said:

    Wow, this dude knows how to have fun.

18. 18 Legendary on Oct 1st, 2006 said:

    Way to go, guys! I'm fascinated with Rube Goldberg machines and enjoy seeing different ideas and complexities - yours is awesome
    And now, a note to the ever-hateful-and-stupid John: John, why is there always someone like you who exists just to be an asshole? Why can't you see the positive and fun side of life? No, of course Rube Goldberg machines serve no real purpose other than to amuse, so why can't you just be amused? Are you that unhappy with your pathetic life that you need to bring others down to your putrid level? Tsk ... that's too bad for you. Sucks to be you! haha ... See, everyone else is happy so you should just go away and learn to read, write, spell, and understand.

19. 19 John's a dumbass on Oct 2nd, 2006 said:

    A fantastic effect! I love how some pieces do their thing and then move to provide an alternate function!

    P.S. John is a freaking retard; obviously he doesn't know that it is the POINT of a Rube Goldberg maching (he's probably clueless as to the name's relevance). Even if this WAS a waste of time (as opposed to the art it is) then the only bigger waste of time would be to comment JUST bitch about it... Learn to think and spell; you showed who the REAL loser is...

20. 20 Rich on Oct 2nd, 2006 said:

    I loved it! I've seen the rolling sellotape ramp used on a silimar Japanese part, but you've kept the main part of the machine in a very tidy package and the glass was a stroke of genius! Is there anyway of moving the scond part closer so that the guy who recieves the teabag is also able to reach over and put the ball at the beginning in the first place?

21. 21 LilLady on Oct 2nd, 2006 said:

    I'm not sure which I enjoyed more- the device or the commentary on John's ignorance! Thank you to all who saved me the dissertation in proper grammar!!

22. 22 Ben on Oct 3rd, 2006 said:

    Good effort on the machine mate!! Made me laugh out loud!! Must've taken a while!!

23. 23 roo on Oct 3rd, 2006 said:

    AWSOMe, not only functional, entertaining! made me giggle\

24. 24 Jaye on Oct 3rd, 2006 said:

    Ha. I love the trick with the dumbbell--class of its own, that was. Also, am I the last human on the planet to find Stumble? Where have I been?

25. 25 Edward on Oct 3rd, 2006 said:

    I think we've had just about enough bashing of john. yes his comentary was not needed, but isn't the point of this feedback to give feedback to the creators of this device? that aside... LOL!!!!!!!!! i' must've watched this video a hundred times! this is the best thing ive seen for a VERY long time!!!! awesome job guys!!!

26. 26 Grow A Pair on Oct 3rd, 2006 said:

    I find it interesting how so many people are commenting on how John wasted his time bitching here. Those same people write a full paragraph just trying to deamen him. Hmm.. the wonderful world of hypocrites. I'm sure John hasn't read any of these posts anyway.

27. 27 g0eth on Oct 4th, 2006 said:

    well this thing is completely useless, but man it's really amazing \o/
    I think I'll make one that pours coffee in my mug and brings it to me while in bed : )

28. 28 Burt on Oct 5th, 2006 said:

    I've seen a few RG's in my time, but this by far trumps them all. Suave

29. 29 Ian on Oct 5th, 2006 said:

    lol @ John. Way to completely miss the point!

    That said, I wonder how long it did take. I bet they didn't do it in one take.

30. 30 A on Oct 6th, 2006 said:

    -mazing

31. 31 zbzipper on Oct 6th, 2006 said:

    Cool man,even though a waste of time.The end made me laugh.Rolling between the glass was the best part

33. 33 tiny little freak on Oct 6th, 2006 said:

    Did any of you ever stop to think that John be in fact, retarded.
    maybe a little slow?
    what I'm saying is most of you don't know the difference between a stalagtite and a stalagmite,right?
    sure you can google it
    do it in fact if you don't know
    escape ignorance
    being ignorant can't be helped
    but being informed thats all together different story
    I have just informed you that you all attacked
    a person for being small
    fuck you all
    if you cant dust each other off and be friendly
    i am smarter than average
    not a genius
    but smart enough
    to know that I know the difference between stalagtite and stalagmite
    but i didnt know wtf a rube goldberg machine was?
    now i do im less ignorant and after looking up if it hangs or pokes up
    you will be too

34. 34 Tastypoo on Oct 8th, 2006 said:

    Wow, awesome man. That thing is sweet.

35. 35 Astrobunny on Oct 8th, 2006 said:

    Now THAT, was ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY AMAZING!!! Gotta love those things! Great work! n.n

36. 36 alan on Oct 8th, 2006 said:

    Good job now make something useful!

37. 37 anonymous (mediator) on Oct 8th, 2006 said:

    >> to tiny little freak.
    I just felt like I had to have my say: People like John should first of all think twice before bitching a comment like that. I'm just saying what gives him the right to talk like that, he's simply criticizing anothers person's diversity, THAT is why everybody is attacking John. So don't come up with the lame excuse "retarded,little slow..". The guy is just being childish, and deserves a little scolding, 'cause there are too many out there who do the same.
    Peace

    Damn, that absolutely genius. I really Like it. Hope that Rube Goldberg will have another new device. Way to go Rube Goldberg.

41. 41 Ben on Oct 10th, 2006 said:

    Excellent. Well done mate.

42. 42 Sandra on Oct 10th, 2006 said:

45. 45 Amsdizz on Oct 14th, 2006 said:

    That machine is sick as fuck!!! i just keep watching it over and over again and its bad ass!!whoever thought of this shit is definately a stoner!! lol YEAH

46. 46 Jomichka on Oct 16th, 2006 said:

    That roxxorz!!!

    Ahem.

    Very nicely done with visual effect and fun factor. In addition to being unbelievably more complex than needed. It takes some good imagination to make something so simple so complex.

47. 47 Just to be Accurate on Oct 21st, 2006 said:

    I would rather it called a Heath Robinson contraption. It appears he was a major influence on Rude Goldberg. I therefore think naming writes for these contraptions should be his. Who or what was Heath Robinson's influences is another story. Contraption is also a far more accurate description than machine in my opinion. Americans always have to think they came up with everything! Just a thought.

48. 48 HappyHorse on Oct 24th, 2006 said:

    ...just when you thought you where bored enough to do the dishes, you reach down under the sink and the only thing you find is some nasty old-looking tea bag. You throw it over your shoulder just in time for your house mate to see it land in a cup and... well you know the rest...
    Seems like a lot of work for such a short amount of film. Gives me new appreciation for movie production. Would have been fun putting it all together. Nice work.
