Catapult Launch

Gav and Dan go medieval on some modern day items with the help of a massive catapult. The Super Slow Show, only on KZbin.

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

If no one tells the sound guy, I don't think he's going to notice. The damage is almost undetectable.

[@simontay4851]

Tis but a scratch.

[@carveroberly9434]

Tom Nally He probably wouldnt hear any glass breaking because, after all, he is the sound guy

[@DeathBringer769]

I knew a half-deaf sound guy once, no joke. To be fair though, he wasn't a very good sound guy due to that very reason, lol. He was also half-blind, wish I was joking there too. Honestly, I felt bad for the guy, but when I was in bands and we'd gig at this one place, he'd be their hired sound guy most of the time for some reason... I never could understand it, lol. So yea, if it was THAT sound guy, he definitely wouldn't have heard the glass breaking ;)

[@angrypotato_fz]

Interesting! I also know a sound guy that's deaf for one ear. However, in this case, he is quite a good sound guy (mostly working with choirs and bands), against all the odds :)

[@EIGHTMAG86]

i thought you were talking about the terrible audio int he video lol

[@FergusGriggs]

But can it launch 90kg projectile over 300 metres?

[@rowplatts]

r/TrebuchetMemes is leaking

[@konanhuet623]

IT'S A THING?

[@MrTimelessWinter]

it most sertently cant do that so, they need a more powerfull one :D

[@AngryDutchMann]

@MrTimelessWinter or they should use a trebuchet

[@kokalj777]

You want Dan to do it right?

[@yaelg5015]

Trebuchets are the best siege weapon there is, they didnt use one because it would be way too powerful

[@nimigishakayihura263]

PewDiePie would be happy with this comment

[@josefsieffen18]

*Gunpowder*: "am I a joke to you?"

[@Paveway-chan]

I'd love to see what that'd do to a car

[@markw3215]

I was so worried that when they got this "sponsorship" of sorts, that they'd become all "sold out" in their attitude. But this far into the "Super Slow Show' has definitely not disappointed. I'm so glad you guys got the ability to do something fun, entertaining, and interesting - for a living!

[@SSIKBuLLeT]

Trebuchet is still clearly superior

[@TheSventertainer]

their test range was only 50m. Trebuchet ammo would have landed out of range of the cameras.

[@bandit69420]

the trebuchet will always be the superior medieval siege weapon. This catapult couldn't even launch a 90 kilogram projectile over 300 meters

[@Bornheimmitte]

Without any doubts.

[@pastalarm5391]

Yea

[@Notpoop906]

that literally is a trebuchet... it has a counter weight. catapults use tension.

[@Kirizura]

Trebuchet is still a better siege weapon .

[@mkddpowner]

Kirizer almost disliked for the use of an inferior siege weapon

[@hairynuggs]

Kirizer i can feel the dirty looks from /r/trebuchetmemes

[@cwoassont4385]

90 kg over 300 meters always superior

[@PorkChopForLifeMC]

was looking for this....

[@lexbos4370]

Trebuchets are on top, just above balistas and cannons

[@MattWard89]

That last hit was on the money. Wow!

[@pashok28]

5:11 You can see rocks near wheels suggesting all car placements planed out for every shot.

[@LetsbeHonestOfficial]

0:49 DAMNIT! I was JUST about to send my fridge into space with my homemade trebuchet

[@wouterbaas3138]

Idiot

[@battledwarf4294]

Let's be Honest Official I drive one of those

[@Kneightt]

Can I use that? My space slingshot broke.

[@Donglator]

DAMMIT*

[@aclonymous]

Let's be Honest Official it'sh cleurly nawt a trebyushay, it'sh a katapuwlte

[@Shadic2191]

But can it launch a 95 kilogram stone projectile over 300 meters? Trebuchet is the superior weapon

[@pureslowmotion2918]

It's nifty and trendy

[@thehutch4823]

Hugh Janus cannon is superior still

[@MBitzDE]

Hugh Janus 90kg

[@AndyChamberlainMusic]

you mean s u p e r i o r s i e g e e n g i n e

[@ArmamentAxes]

slow mo off a Trebuchets would be even better !!

[@kederaji]

They didn't need a trebuchet, a fridge doesn't weigh 90kg

[@maniacalcoyote6087]

Technically, it is a trebuchet, as there's a counterweight providing the torque.

[@newtonjames1620]

"I can't get into rootbeer it tastes like medicine." clearly I need to start getting my meds from the UK...

[@deathab0ve]

See I don't mind this. Slow motion barley helped this video. It was honestly jump fun to see a catapult throw things at something. Making games out of this slow motion stuff seems like the best approach imo.

[@rockah12]

slow motion barley? the slowest field ever seen

[@rockah12]

I know. But the word he meant to say was "Barely". Barley is a type of grain.

[@Wolvenworks]

a slow mo game? you guys ever heard of SUPERHOT?

[@letsart6434]

It's their channel and their concept. If they want to try new and different and bigger things, more power to them. It's important that they like what they do, while still entertaining the audience. Not everyone will like what they do. They shouldn't pander to any particular portion of the audience. I think everything they do is pretty cool because I like their style and slow mo looks awesome! They shouldn't be constricted to only doing just for good ol fun silly nonsense. They discover some cool stuff with their new sets and equipment and locations and crew. I'm happy for them.

[@ivovantoor5368]

trebuchet>catapult

[@BenRajan]

a trebuchet is a catapult

[@conforming375]

Ahem. Catapults are any device that throws an object, although it commonly refers to the medieval siege weapon. -Trebuchets are a TYPE of catapult, using gravity (with a counterweight) or traction (men pulling down), to propel the arm and often employing a sling at the end of the arm for greater distance.

[@jeremymercier9477]

esoom ackchyually!

[@BoopyTheFox]

Trebuchet is CLEARLY SUPERIOR

[@kevman5]

Team #Trebuchet checking in.

[@matsthijssen3383]

I saw the title and thumbnail and somehow thought they would launch Dan from this catapult in this episode

[@STUCASHX]

Now if Gavin had dressed up as Indiana Jones and pretended to crawl out of the fridge after it landed I'd have given this video TWO thumbs up. ;)

[@michal5642]

trebuchet is clearly the superior machine

[@WinglessWallaby]

next episode better be a trebuchet

[@OliveRC-Addict]

throw the car !!!

[@angiebeattie4113]

OLIVE RC to heavy

[@xytanvadumee4795]

+OLIVE RC too heavy even for a 'proper' catapult of a similar design...considering they were used against people not buildings...with different siege engines being against walls.

[@syntaxusdogmata3333]

I'd upvote this comment twice, if I could.

[@misterzod]

Angie Beattie thru just need a trebuchet

[@gabrielebursi5509]

Throw the sound guy!

[@MsTwissy]

I love when they do bits like the sound guys car and when Dan pretended to be inside the rv showering when they mega balled it.

[@MrKrissi70]

A trebuchet is the superior siege weapon

[@goodbeans]

Trebuchets > catapults

[@MysterySteve]

When the sound guy bopped him on the head was just the perfect touch. XD

[@sqidl1290]

TREBUCHET IS SUPERIOR

[@frankread4522]

The trebuchet is the superior siege weapon

[@overtone55]

its no trebuchet, probably cant even launch a 90 kilogram projectile over 300 metres smh

[@InsanePigeon]

you are correct, it isn't a trebuchet.

[@pureslowmotion2918]

_whoosh_

[@MasterPig11]

Is this a meme? What is this?

[@pureslowmotion2918]

Yeah

[@abz6]

Nick a Reddit thing. r/trebuchetmemes

[@trevorng2786]

"I don't think he will mind" says Dan as the sound dude bonks him on the head.

[@dragonfruit3588]

I am LOVING this series. It is SO awesome to see both of you guys get to do the wildest things that you never could on a backyard setup, and get to see them in slow-mo. AWESOME!!

[@sethmorrison1403]

The trebuchet is the superior siege engine

[@SingleMaltIdiot]

That boom bonking Dan on the head tickled me a lot more than it had any right to

[@xboxinmyveins3821]

Loving all this content lately

[@dansegal4644]

Just stopped by to tell you, trebuchets are waay cooler.

[@TerronHD]

Dude why did you pick a siege engine that can't even launch a 90 kg projectile over 300 meters. DISGUSTING

[@crazyteapot8940]

TerronHD r/iamverysmart

[@ryzony]

Crazy Tea Pot wow you are very cool for using a subreddit outside of the platform

[@mshane86]

I want "life is better in slow mo" shirts.

[@SlowMoKez]

mshane86 OMG 😮 me too 👌🏼

[@SlowMoKez]

Just love anything in slow motion 🐢🎥🐢🎥👌🏼

[@marlinmuller2725]

Why no trebuchet? It's far superior!!!

[@tylersutton1863]

Come on, guys. Everyone knows the trebuchet is the superior siege weapon.

[@Juggling_necromancer]

they cant even lob a 90kg projectile over 300m smh

[@CreightonMiller]

Best episode of this whole series! You've got your groove back!

[@seangreen6658]

I don't know why but I always come to the slow mo guys when I can't sleep.. They just relax me xD

[@gameAR88over]

we demand a trebuchet

[@theneash2965]

Next do a trebuchet that can launch a 90kg projectile 300km! Far superior than the plebian catapult

[@jordanwiley4582]

4:19 I mean, you gotta give Gav credit. A Chevy Cavalier is no '69 Charger.

[@gendoll5006]

I love the little comedy they put in. The sound guys mic coming down and hitting him in the head is hilarious lol.

[@special-delivery]

I watched this video about a catapult. But now I have a PhD on trebuchet, thanks to all the comments.

[@nilsvids]

But can it launch 90kg projectiles over 300m? I don't think so.

[@SilverGummiShark]

I would not mind seeing y'all throw more stuff with this.

[@OgotuMusic]

This was definitely the most entertaining Super Slow Show episode

[@SkylerPC]

Needed to be a trebuchet. They can launch a 90 kg object over 300 yards.

[@cameronperry2235]

Skyler P.C. Why would you use metric and standard units? smh lol

[@sebastiaankruis3006]

Cameron Perry Use an object. They can launch a 300 feet trebuchet under 90 watermelons.

[@robertpoole9707]

not a trebuchet smh

[@stocchinet]

It's powered by a counterweight tho, it's a catapult/trebuchet abomination.

[@kylitosan]

What an awesome episode!

[@MercTelmos]

That car is(was) pretty similar to mine. So seeing this was terrifying and satisfying at the same time.

[@am2345M.]

NOW, that looks like fun.... awesome.

[@shayan_ecksdee]

You mean now THAT looks like fun

[@am2345M.]

Shayan ⁢ SURE.

[@oliverwarlow]

I'm really sorry to have to ruin this for you guys. But the Trebuchet is the superior siege engine.

[@einstein0808]

That last shot, you can see the '100' on the window still in tact on the broken glass while it's falling down. Nice to see!

[@ErikCPianoman]

I guess you could say it was a ‘one in a million’ shot.

[@matthiasolesko16]

trebutches please

[@Matthew-cw5fe]

You guys should get in touch with the How Ridiculous guys and get some sweet high speed footage of them dropping stuff from their tower!

[@SlowMoKez]

Steve Jobs 👌🏼

[@TangibleTania]

This should become a reoccurring theme....please catapult more! Great video!

[@mike-rayner-videos]

no expense spared on this one guys :).. great fun .. loved it ♥

[@Drewziggz]

the audio tho...

[@ranarencerielt.3385]

That mic tho on 2:00 Hahahahaha

[@reu69]

What?

[@borisn1426]

OmegaReu he taking bout the sound guy accidentally dropping the boom mic on his head for taking his car lol

[@reu69]

Neo Galaxy i know lol but i thought this guy might have thought it was on accident

[@NanoMine]

TIL about a new meme because of the comment section of this video.

[@mystifiedcube9657]

This was actually so dope

[@petewilder1303]

Been a fan of these guys for a few years now. Not one of these high budget videos are as compelling as what they did before this big budget show. They weren't all winners - but the good one's were stunningly brilliant (like the colored lamp flames) or hilarious like the large balloon stuff or the mousetraps on a trampoline. Reminds me of what Little Richard once said "He got what he wanted, but lost what he had!" I only hope they can take a step back and get back to what they had without giving up the budget and crew..

[@SlowMoKez]

Pete Wilder well said 👌🏼

[@wideeyedjanitor4651]

Great, now try it with a trebuchet against a brick wall at 300 metres and marvel at the improvement.

[@stomkas]

bet can it launch 90kg projectile at 300m distance?

[@williamgrimm2452]

Watching globs of fizz/soda raining down in slow motion... how is this so beautiful?

[@CAPSLOCKPUNDIT]

Gav rolled over the competition this time. He stepped up to the challenge and crushed it!

[@user-vv4um5zq3l]

Do a slow mo video for various baseball pitches at their release points! I want to see all of the spins come into affect.

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Should've done fridge thing again, but put a dummy inside. That way, we can see how messed up the dummy would like.

[@SlowMoKez]

MoonSpirit good idea 👌🏼

[@GrappleHammer]

So crystal skull it

[@KiemPlant]

GrappleHammer haha +1 😂👌

[@SwegMastah]

should be an Indiana Jones kingdom of the crystal skull real life test, survive a nuke in a fridge

[@MoonSpiritChannel]

Yup, that's pretty much it.

[@Beppojoe]

congratz on 10 mil

[@danielperkins2485]

Great video! Love it!

[@tylerwahl6619]

Isn’t that the sound guys car?- OWWW

[@SciencewithKatie]

This was so awesome, I'm so jealous that you guys get to do this every day!

[@pureslowmotion2918]

Hoq do gain sub so quick, like yesterday u had like 100 less

[@pureslowmotion2918]

Lol u always get so many likes 😂

[@johanvanheerden9352]

Hello Dan & Gav I love your videos guys 😀😀😀

[@linecraftman3907]

naahh , it probably took them months to film and prepare for that, no way they do shoots every day

[@-danR]

But but... what happened to Dan's cast?

[@ParisFletcher]

"It's a respectable score" That's totally something you should say when you're catapulting bowling balls at cars.

[@makaveli2363]

Actually never knew your channel could get even better than it was, constant videos now aswell more greater ideas

[@leyley23004]

1:30 looks like eggs flying around

[@dgrant5968]

Why Not that what I thought

[@KN11F3D]

I was only hoping that in true Slow-Mo fashion that they would be launching Dan out of that catapult xD

[@SlowMoKez]

KN11F3D lol 😂

[@MrMatttL]

I hope these never stop!

[@ifhoom8764]

Matt sub me pls

[@stahliboi6249]

These are amazing

[@penguii1242]

Should have been a trebuchet... catapult sux.

[@Juggling_necromancer]

catapult cant even launch a 90 kg projectile 300 m smh

[@haloplayer1172]

4:35 Some guy dabbed 😂

[@armanigarza3859]

Slaydor I barely noticed 😂

[@bassfight2936]

Sound guy holding up the boom.

[@picketfence2028]

Yay! I love the Slow mo guys! Gav Dan ❤️

[@MysteryJack]

Something something, trebuchet. My comment is hilarious now.

[@scouz280]

MysteryJack it deserves it's 6 likes

[@Dhanes71]

That last shot though! OMG

[@BradfordGuy]

When you build a trebuchet that will and does sling an entire car in slow motion - I WILL BE impressed! Great video guys!

[@onedeadsaint]

I wanna know if that last shot was planned out and if so how long it took to set up. if that was just luck then, wow!

[@michaelfowler2264]

It was legit!

[@theodoreferro4090]

You guys need to do a video with the King of Random

[@opalescence5544]

R.I.P Grant

[@o.t2001]

Brilliant video guys

[@tompw3141]

It's nice to know modern cars can withstand an anvil to the roof

[@blackspencer1234]

lol that intro. They're trying to convince fans that the change to being a bought and paid for channel is better than the good old backyard videos.

[@GuessTechSports]

Gavin explained in the first of this 'month long series' of videos that these were essentially sponsored videos and were only for a limited time. I don't get so many people complaining because a video has been released every single day instead of once every ~30 days . Out of the videos they shot over a short period of time obviously for this.. some have been quite good. Some mediocre.. and some, like this one,.. fairly poor (to their standards.. even their poor content is better than most channels regular content). I think people are bothered because they don't understand this is temporary and things will resume per normal (with maybe a higher budget.. but if you know Gav from RT .. you know he's CHEAP lol.. so probably not.) soon. Others probably perceive this as 'selling out' or some such -- which I suppose technically it kind of is.. but given the general details of what this is.. anyone would be a fool to turn down the premiere set of sponsors aligned with youtube with this kind of budget and even "talent" in some cases for probably a week of actual filming.

[@benmccoy1766]

What’s the deal with all this “trebuchet is the superior siege engine/launching a 90lb stone 300 meters? I’m genuinely curious if someone would like to explain it to me that would be much appreciated.

[@dookie_12]

Age of Empires 2. The trebuchet is better than catapult.

[@agerken]

Trebuchets are superior, everybody knows it... It's not about some age of empires but just general! Have you ever seen a katapult launching a 90kg projectile over 300m?

[@camdenmccombs3947]

Go to Reddit and look up r/Trebuchetmemes

[@Juggling_necromancer]

darude sandstorm

[@MmeHyraelle]

Trebuchets are kind of efficient to transfer potential energy into kinetic energy compared to catapults.

[@msalis1]

I really wanted to see a couch, chair, coffee table, bookcase, and fruit all included in the catapult launch games.

[@davidkircher6567]

This channel always puts a smile on my face

[@OFFFishing]

Nailed it👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@michcode4870]

Not really they didn’t use a trebuchet

[@Larteni]

*The Slow Mo Guys, you best ever! It's amazing :)*

[@timmyteaches7663]

Larteni they best ever? Wow amazing. That cool

[@STAG162]

former Top Gear presenters Jeremy, James and Hamster used a treb on The Grand Tour recently, and then proceeded to get utterly confused by it. short distance smaller projectiles (clay pots with oil on fire).. use a catapult long distance with significantly heavier objects.. use a treb.

[@itmchronic411]

“I’m gav and I’m dan and we’ve spent too much money”

[@digantasanyal7745]

Dope!!!

[@pureslowmotion2918]

you haven't watched it yet

[@pureslowmotion2918]

Sorry why are you being rude to me, you have no idea what I have done, I've known about highspeed filming long before slow mo guys even had a channel, and for your information I genuinely have watched all of their videos (actually the only channel I done that for)

[@pureslowmotion2918]

Also you couldn't have watched from the beginning because they started in 2010 which was *8* years ago

[@pureslowmotion2918]

Lmao ik, it just really annoys me when people are all like ''I know so much about a channel that I've only started watching like 2 seconds ago" I genuinely do have knowledge and experience with highspeed filming but for some reason people think I'm like 14 lmao

[@HerSilkScarfGagsMe]

you could still watch from the first video till now and be 8 y/o because they don't have a solid 8 years of video. you can watch them all in a few days casually and enjoy yourself. I've been watching from maybe 2011 or 2012 but have seen everything they've done. Almost everything RT has done too :P
