"Do not try this at home" ..... "This is what you'll need"

[@maxbockelman8723]

How how to build it 😂

[@fishstix4209]

Right....

[@fishstix4209]

0:37 "here's everything you'll need, I'll put a list in the description"......

[@fishstix4209]

Ps I screenshot the comment that got censored.... you are going to get someone hurt. Screenshots on this as well.

[@beagle3247]

​@@fishstix4209I made rocket fuel from Walmart it'll be fine

[@anthonyraye5831]

I think it’s the manic laughter after each shot that makes the video….

[@jupitersailing6911]

Hes like a mad scientist haha

[@TheKingofRandom]

Some days, I totally feel that way! I was just telling Janae that being the King of Random is a pile of work beating my head against the wall, followed by a day or two of ridiculous fun, then I start over. It’s actually a pretty great gig! -Jarom

[@QuietStorm44777]

And you are doing well Jarom! 🤟😎👏👏

[@rickc7433]

Like many others, I’m so glad the channel went back to its roots… Thanks for bringing the fun back!

[@handerson9020]

TKOR has been some of the best KZbin content of 2024 this far. Can’t wait for more.

[@jb2584]

It was the best content in 2019-2021

[@westb.686]

Sunday is gonna be lit!!! The King Of Random is back!!!

[@lunakitraszenko701]

This particular video and your laughter after each shot convinces me that your collab with KentackyBallistic would be so much laught and fun 😁

[@MrTropicalFusion]

You remind me of what got me into this channel when Grant was around. I love the mylar seals, great idea. Looking forward to more!

[@TheKingofRandom]

I’m looking forward to bringing you more!! -Jarom

[@corrpendragon]

Jarom, you're killing it! It would increase the danger quite a bit, but imagine putting a pressure chamber behind the ping pong ball too! Keep it up, this was such a fun video!

[@TheKingofRandom]

I love this idea… -Jarom

[@krazykage9210]

The pure joy and fun your having after each shot is what makes the video. Love it!

[@mra2878]

Found this channel after idk after how many years....I used to watch this from the time of Grant....I miss the OG 'The King of Random'....RIP Grant....

[@noahjackson8174]

the laugh is great, almost like jamie's laugh. nice to see the ping pong launcher improved upon.

[@nominalvelocity]

The ants near the shop approve of this content

[@d-kay6668]

Man, it's been a long time since I was looking forward to another TKOR video. Jarom, you're smashing it, and not just the fruit.

[@reubenrosenberg7715]

Excellent!! Thanks for keeping Grant's legacy alive! If you were to fill a ping pong ball with gallium and then chill it, might have even more penetrative power? Or would the gallium deform before causing any damage? Keep up the great work!

[@TheKingofRandom]

I should really try this! -Jarom

[@mikeyb430]

That’s sick the Tshirt also looks amazing

[@user-bv1ul6lz9f]

This is the content I remember and love!

[@mylennyuym]

Sweet vid showing the awesome power of King Pong!!! Thanx, Sam

[@Sirtigereg]

Thank you for the great content you are the new king of random thank you❤ 🇨🇦

[@Frie_Jemi]

Holy Shirt Batman, that's a cool pattern, and s good idea using JB Weld in a ping pong ball! PRICELESS!!!!

[@reesewawarosky1058]

It's nice to see that you are following in your Dad's footsteps. I would like to see how far out it would have destroyed an item.

[@TheKingofRandom]

Grant was my friend. I’m only two years younger than him. -Jarom

[@Puzzle391]

There is so much CHAOS in this video... PERFECT!!!

[@TheKingofRandom]

So glad you enjoyed it! -Jarom

[@FB13]

Teaching people how to make unpractical guns😂 classic TKOR

[@ElicBehexan]

I doubt the shirt would fit, but this was really fun!

[@mattpayne3807]

That was an awesome video. My boys and I loved watching. I wonder how the ping pong balls would do with mercury or gallium inside....

[@ragnar1893]

Love the new stuff you’re putting out lately, I bet if you filler the ping pong ball with gallium it will go all the way through.

[@krishverma36]

Whoa, a supersonic ping pong ball launcher?! 🚀 That's incredibly creative and impressive! Your video was so entertaining and well-made. Can't wait to see what other awesome projects you come up with! 👏

[@terpcj]

Blasting those tomatoes made me think I was watching Integza for a second.

[@TheRattleSnake3145]

Remember, tomatoes are disgusting !

[@Drakonaut]

That's an epic t-shirt, can't show my brother this- his guard unit might actually try to make it! (They're Artillery)

[@WICKEDHALFPUBGMOBILE]

Loving the new vibes on the videos.

[@davidhealdjr.513]

I think Galium would work great.

[@charlessmith3205]

The KING is back!!

[@aquarhythm2999]

Your laugh is contagious!

[@averyelizabeth1070]

man… i use to watch tkor every single day when i was in the 5th grade. saw some tiktok that sparked my memory… and you guys are still at it. this is great.

[@TheKingofRandom]

Guess what?! You won the shirt! Email me at [e-mail]

[@michaelneedham5697]

that t-shirt should be your new logo

[@Charlie-dx6bv]

Thats awesome lol (Those are some beautiful mountains in the background)

[@imhigh0013]

Jack Black does King of Random.

[@StineWins]

Make some attachments for the water to fuel converter, maybe a solar panel, and burner?

[@StineWins]

I notice there is already a video connecting solar panels to the fuel converter.

[@WeiChei]

The ping pong balls with the paint look like eggs lol especially the one with yellow paint. It would have been funny if you tried to launch eggs in it.

[@blindshot86]

Hope there hasn't been a winner yet, I had family over and just got done watching, lol (We be Irish folks). Regardless, this is an awesome build! I'm curious if you could do a arm/hand cannon like this, but maybe with CO2 cartridges? A mobile version of this would be insane. Keep staying random

[@michaellakous311]

Very cool. I'm sure I'd get myself in trouble with that!

[@TheKingofRandom]

You and me both! -Jarom

[@richardtodd6843]

Finally a good use for ping pong balls. Now the stores will run out.

[@KerfusVoTV]

5:51 Integza liked that. 6:26 Integza loved that.

[@PhDakota]

Fun fact, the shockwave from bursting Mylar like this is used to induce traumatic brain injury in mice, for studying diseases and possible therapeutics.

[@xju303]

the king of random is back to being the king of random?

[@scottkitchell6134]

Totally Awesome!

[@RicoOCHO85]

My man is going to get hired by the Federal Government and he is going to fix the railguns they tested a few years ago..

[@fredlllll]

aw yes mythbuster vibes!

[@montehoskey17]

Funny. Don’t try this at home. Proceeds to give a detailed list of supplies and detailed instructions 😂

[@TheKingofRandom]

🤫 😂 -Jarom

[@thulin_fam]

This would be a fun project!

[@kentuckylover13]

Seriously loving these videos

[@rocketman221projects]

Let's see some chronograph tests. There's no way those filled ping pong balls are actually supersonic.

[@TheKingofRandom]

Oh, they weren’t, but they sure caused a lot of damage! -Jarom

[@marilynbruno-seitz799]

My son would love that shirt! SO cool.

[@gracefultim]

Another awesome episode.

[@andygman4081]

That’s awesome! It sucks rather than blows!

[@chaz-mi1ch]

Now I gotta build one so I can make a few of those shirts!

[@vinylexperience77]

Glad to see the classic stile of the TKOR is back. Please never make candy! PS I subscribed again.

[@ukko1998]

At the begining of the video I was thinking that is there any way to use vacuum to launch ping pong balls and to my surprise this video was about using vacuum to launch it :DD Awesome!

[@Capt.Marco-Hawk-L.L.A.P]

you missed me lol, and now for something even more powerful

[@jeffklepzig1107]

Golf ball next

[@TheRealRomansThirteen]

Dude he just made a riot gun can you do this again but fill it with cayenne pepper and olive oil from the microwave? New contact Creator just got mad props. Heavy is the crown bro 👑.

[@stevemallot721]

Would have loved to know the speeds! Otherwise cool video. And props to calling out Mythbusters.

[@greatestone4eva]

absolute dopeness

[@Re-Vamped-2]

I almost feel sorry for the watermelon!

[@steal4526]

TKOR for life.

[@jasonbrohipower4157]

That was pretty cool!

[@williamcogburn]

Nice this was neat😊

[@hillbillygaragecs2921]

GRATE job

[@legoturtle92]

Pretty cool, I wonder how strong you can shoot a nerf dart with it.

[@theproudcanadian319]

That shirt looks great.

[@tseckwr3783]

use trig to find the distance

[@chrisburgdorf7469]

Love it.

[@Lotus_1776]

A golf ball would work well too 8:07

[@williamwellisch960]

Need more SUPER SLOW MOTION!!! great vid.

[@chrisdavee9556]

Pretty cool

[@jarrodsmith8260]

That was cool!!!

[@thebyzarkandian]

interesting way to do that

[@tomnielsen3661]

I do not need the t-shirt but great job!

[@wanderingspider8988]

Brings me back to my potato launcher days.

[@gwsquirel]

I remember when that was just a 2 lane high way, both ways. Ahh memories. Thank you for all your hard work! Which feels like another great chapter for TKOR! The King is for sure smiling.

[@nazmaldun]

DOPE!

[@Adamisgood24]

The shirt is great!

[@normanmauldin3900]

I like it.

[@1karangoyal]

Amazing video

[@Exterior47]

Hey can you show a tutorial to make airgun

[@Belgarion1971]

If I get that shirt, my kid will probably fight me for it 😆 Too bad he doesn't stand a chance.

[@TheKingofRandom]

Gotta show those kids who’s boss! -Jarom

[@eyelikeonlyifilike]

R.I.P (Rest In Pieces) Watermelon!

[@TheKingofRandom]

[@KaynesHerping]

If Teflon tape joke in there somewhere

[@PacManSavvy]

LOVE!!

[@troyareinhartjr978]

That was cool

[@royrush288]

That t-shirt has a lot of paint on it.

[@TheKingofRandom]

I cannot guarantee that it will survive being washed… -Jarom

[@ajvYT]

I think it’s funny, the don’t try this at home messages and then the supplies list soon after

[@TheKingofRandom]

Shh 🤫

[@ajvYT]

@@TheKingofRandom 😁

[@Cinnamon_Shaey]

i do not wanna be the one who cleans all this up! xD

[@TheKingofRandom]

It took me HOURS!! And I didn’t even try to clean the ceiling… -Jarom

[@kufijako]

Cool!

[@BugsleyClown]

Golf Ball?
