How to Make a Butane Bottle Rocket (Water Bottle & Lighter)



The Butane Bottle Rocket Experiment!!!
I tried this about 6 times before I got it right - hahaha...saw some dude on Youtube do it and I knew I had to try it out...A couple things to note: one, don't have any water residue in the bottle, completely dry it out...two, allow the butane to leak out when you pull the lighter out...three, don't worry about the angle of the bottle when shooting it off...four, re-lighting the bottle a second time can be dangerous! Hahaha...

The legit directions: melt the top of a water bottle cap so it's soft - poke a hole through it with a pencil, letter opener, etc. - fill the water bottle with 30 seconds of butane from a lighter...place the top back on and angle however you want - then light the lighter near the end of the bottle cap opening & BAM!

Disclosure: I am not responsible for any danger and injury caused by this concept! I do not support you in attempting this concept! Try at your own risk!

The Bread Challenge



The 30 Second Bread Challenge!!!
"I pound 14 grain bread - cause that's just how I roll..."

Bah! It's been a long flippin time! Woah since February! Ahhhh and now it's April something...Yikes! So anyway, we hit two goals this past week or so - one being 10,000 views for one single video! Yay! Hahaha yea anyway - for some reason - not sure why - obviously the key words - but anywho it was the Tennis Ball Video...here's the link...

Tennis Ball Unlocks Car Door

The second goal met was 500 subscribers! Bacawwww!!! What upppppppp?!? Yea man wanted this goal met in February but it being hit by March was definitely fine by me! Super pumped peoples!

The Bread Challenge - so I saw this somewhere on youtube and thought I'd give it a shot. Basically you have to eat one piece of bread in 30 seconds. I used Stop N Shop's 12 grain bread, which was quite thick and extremely difficult to get down...I blame it on 11 of the grains...The 12th grain was soft and easy to get down but the other 11 grains were dried up rocks...Not funny? Worth a shot...

We have the Blended Wendy's Challenge coming up next! Not sure if I should chug it or try to drink it slowly...any thoughts??? Leave a comment! Thanks!

Saltine Cracker Challenge



The Saltine Cracker Challenge. It happened. Yes. This challenge might be one of the "boringest" but whatevs - still fun to see if you can accomplish the task. Nothing really humorous - no throwing up, no choking, no winning, ummm, yea....Hahaha - that's probably why this has ZERO views. Anyway the cracker challenge is fun - try it! It takes 60 seconds to see if you can eat 6 crackers! hahaha

Hopefully things will get more interesting...The animation was easy to make and seriously - I thought that was the best part of this video hahaha although it went on too long...should have done a quick 25 seconds and then throw in something funny for me to eat, like a wrench or a banana or a nut and im allergic, yea, next time ill plan out the video before making it. I have a bad tendency to do that - just start making crap and it becomes crap. If i actually planned a video - i think it could be good. Maybe ill just do that! Hahahah...anyway, this is it - enjoy! And please, leave comments, content - editing - etc. needs to get better. I feel like it kind of does every video - but maybe im wrong - maybe its getting worse...hahaha i dont know - let us know! Let us know if we suck - if i suck - if we are "okay" - how we can be more entertaining - maybe we are just boring people hahaha, true, very true actually...well on film at least...we are characters in real life...behind the lense, things get scary hahaha and boring...i'll work on that...fasting cuts back and forth in editing usually keep the audience attention...ill try to be better at production and editing...id love to have an HD camera - seems like no one watches your vids unless its HD - seriously...oh well...

Hey by the way check out this website - its awesome! I took down myspace and replaced it with Quirky. IT's gnarly - you can invent crap and you can also buy cool stuff! Here's the link:

QUIRKY

Umm, what else what else - oh yea if you come across any of my work - make sure you vote for me! and rate me high! hahah and comment! yay! haha -im under "Doug" - yea...right now i entered for a bed, bath and beyond college product - i will let you know what my product is when it gets posted...maybe ill be in the runnings! Tough though - tons of talent on Quirky...anywho...im rambling, always do...thats why i have no audience! ahhh i need to stop rambling and fill my sentences with GOLD NUGGETS!
PEACE!

Death By Tickling



Death by tickling - (college tickling): ahhh yes, those were the days...Hahahaha - so my buddy filmed this about 3 years ago-ish? And he has it on his youtube page and it cracks me up everytime I watch the video. A lot of people seemed to enjoy it too - so I decided to throw it up on our channel. In addition, I came across this gnarly putt-putt video - just recently posted; I loved it - and knew I had to combine the two videos, hahaha...

Anyway, I have been tickle-tortured my entire life...Anyone that finds out my weakness (tickle - me - elmo) - loves to attack. Tickling is fun and games - most times...But other times, golly...Tickling gets me so out of breath - about to pass out - about to throw up - about to shrivel into a rolly-poley...This video was an intense time. None of my self-defense mechanisms worked. When there are 3-4 people in a small room, corning you, ready to savage-attack you...tickle fest to the max, well, it's kind of scary...that's a moment you have to unleash the inner fetus strength and slay all opponents. If you guys want to see more "college" moments other than tickling, then let me know. I will try and uncover some crazy footage...

Until next week.....BACAWWWW! You crazy cannibals of mandibles!

Challenge: CHUBBY BUNNY



Challenge #2: CHUBBY BUNNY

Everyone's seen this challenge before...seriously. Probably way over played just like the cinnamon challenge, saltine cracker challenge and milk challenge. All of those are the really-famous ones. Nonetheless, it had to be done...

I'm not sure what the average amount of marshmallows is but I think I beat it...I hit "x" marshmallows before giving up (watch the video to find out how many, harr harr harr). It was seriously tough. You sincerely have to breath completely through your nose. There's no way around that - and you begin mumbling because it's impossible to get any vocals through all those marshies...

A common and funny issue that arises is "marshmallow snot" - that junk clumps up and starts dripping down your chinny chin chin. It's straight nasty folks. Straight nasty. Anyway, I hope these challenges get more funny and entertaining...The Blended Wendy's Challenge should be epic and unique*

LEAVE COMMENTS BELOW FOR NEW-HILARIOUS IDEAS!

"Jello-Pudding Challenge"



Challenges: ahh, yes! The challenges begin! Okay. This specific video was from hitting 100 subscribers. The goals are actually on the right hand side of this blog; check em out... Presently, there are (16) subscriber goals and (8) view goals. If you have any ideas, then please comment and tell us what else we should do! We are down for almost* anything, hahaha...We still need to build a list of goals fore total views*, which is different from "views."

The idea is to build the channel from the ground up. We are determined to meet these goals and essentially, continuously grow better and better. Hopefully, the video quality (lighting, production, post-production, audio, color, props, etc.) and content will become animalbalistic.

THE STORY: Literally, on November 06, 2010 - I became a youtube member. On this day, I began learning Adobe After Effects, Audacity, Youtube, and more. I started off small, doing simple concepts, beginning to understand After Effects and testing ideas. After researching all over the internet and talking to certain people, I have begun to dive into a deeper realm of quality. If we become youtube partners, then the first thing we will purchase is an HD camera. Nowadays, I believe this is essential. We have a crappy shotgun microphone, outside lighting equipment from Home Depot, a digital camera and a video camera; alongwith computer software. We have yet to use the shotgun mic and video camera. I plan to step it up a notch and switch over...It's just so easy to upload videos from a digital camera compared to a DV video camera. The upload process is extremely slow compared to the digital camera. Nonetheless, it would be awesome to have manual focus, 3 CCD pixel quality, and better shutter speed, etc. functions. Also, I think the shotgun mic will be epic. I need to rig a tripod for that beast, or something...In addition, I'd love to build some random things like a dolly with tracks, upside down dolly, crane, car mount, bike mount, circle rig, shoulder mount, etc. - it would be super cool to incorporate these items into regular filming...The quality would increase ten fold.



Anyway, hope you enjoyed the short version of our story...If you want to know more, then please comment beloooow...Oh yea, and be excited - more challenges to come! Next up = the Chubby Bunny Challenge...We already filmed that one and the 6 Saltine 1 Minute Challenge!

"I Want My Husband Back"



Alright, I hope you laughed in this video. My wife is awesome. I love her with all my heart. She thought she'd be cute and make a webcam video at a random hour at night. And it was. Cute. And she is. Beautfiul. And Funny. And Smart. And Everything Awesome. Hahaha oh man, she supports me in everything I do. Seriously. It doesn't matter if it's the dumbest thing in the world - or the coolest thing in the world - she's got my back. She is the most supportive person I've ever met. She doesn't have a negative bone in her body.

Peoples of the world, listen up, it is insanely important in life to find someone that will fully support you, respect you, and up-lift you with positive words and feedback. That type of person will fulfill your weaknesses, push you through heartache and impatient times and allow you to be yourself and blossom into the person you are from the inside out. You will instantly discover yourself achieving life goals, gaining experience in ways you never thought, growing in character exponentially, and in turn doing the same for that special someone and other people, in general. Find that person, it's so worth the journey...

Take it easy peeps. Take it easy...
