I Recreated That Viral Ceiling Fan Video

I think I made a cursed object. 😬 I'm so over the video of the fan with the spinning light kit, it's been posted everywhere on the internet a dozen times. Yes, it has gotten old for me. So clearly I should make a new video of the same thing. 😅 This IS a video that I've wanted to make for a long time, because people have genuinely asked what's going on in that original video. It started out as being a pretty factual concept, but as I got into the end demonstrations it started becoming clear how ridiculously dumb this entire thing was after spending a whole afternoon creating such premium content. 👌 That being said, I feel like this is the content we NEED right now. It's stupid, and I hope it provides some entertainment value. Also I've now seen the original video like 100 more times after filming and editing this so can the internet stop reposting it everywhere now? Thx. 😂 If I see it on the electrical hacks Facebook page for the 87th time I might lose it. 😣😄🚨
I'm still not sure what exactly happened for that original video to be possible, whether the shaft broke at the threads or if it's simply unscrewed. Thinking further about it after filming, I looked at a bunch of my Hunter fans, and the specific housing contours and dimensions do really determine whether or not the full length of the shaft could possibly be contained inside if unscrewed from the adapter. Those with a deeper lip around the motor opening could realistically allow the motor to sit slightly lower. While I took about 1/2" of the shaft off, it was more than necessary and it's truly only about 1/4" of actual difference for the fan I used; a dimensional variation that could be plausible based purely on the housing design.

I think this falls under the "anything is a smoke machine if you operate it wrong enough" category.

Yea totally lol.

THIS is the kind of content I want to see more. I hope this isn’t just a one time thing!!!

[@vfandm]

Only premium content. 👌 IDK, what bad business do you guys want to get into next? 😂

[@apfanco]

See that’s the thing, I have no idea. I don’t think anything similar has really come across in the fan community as that old meme has. But I really appreciate the more causal style of the video

[@Alexander-in9mc]

I like the fan but why is the fan blades not moving?

[@willpower3544]

@@apfanco lol next itl be those pointless stpupid videos of fans falling

[@willpower3544]

I lost it at ''I am questioning all of my life choices right now'' and ''I don't know what is going on here'' HAHAHA. in seriousness, I love hearing peoples train of thought during the filming of a youtube video, defs wanna see more of these casual videos or in the shop vlogs. love it cole :)

[@BAFVintage]

Send this to Hunter. They need to make this a thing.

[@rmbumc]

cole is really embracing his inner michael reeves with both the stupidity and comedy of this project, as well as the editing and lofi music

[@EPSILON120]

Now this is genuine art right here, loved how you went really in-depth with this. And just the irony of you questioning everything throughout the video makes it even better haha.

I was today years old when I learned there was a ceiling fan community.

my son is 11, high functioning autistic and ceiling fans are one of his special interests … and yes. there is a community ❤️

This isn’t the type of video in the fan community that you’d see everyday

These days we're not experiencing "everyday" as usual!

[@AmGona]

@@vfandm Hahaha! Now you just gotta make the blades glow on a fan.

[@vfandm]

Oh shoot! Glow sticks on the blades, that's another viral ceiling fan thing. But that's not much of a video. I should've led off with that and followed up with this. 🧐😒😭

Oh boy, this gives me so many laughs when I ever see this.

i watch these videos along side my son who is obsessed with ceiling fans. out of all the ceiling fan video creators, i love your tone of voice so much, the little wise cracks in this video brought me joy. happy new year.

[@mattstbe6452]

Been watching you for years now. Didn't expect this kind of humorous video. Hopefully this isn't a one time thing. Got a lot of giggles out of it 😁😅

[@Emanfan96]

Next up on vintage fans and more, we see cole recreating various videos of people jumping into ceiling fans 😂

Oh no. That is the natural progression here, isn't it? Does anybody have a mini-trampoline I can borrow? 😅

Cole...... you can smile??????

[@ClannahHeroGames]

What a pretty ironic and entertaining video to watch right here to see the light-kit spinning, lol. 😅😂

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

So THAT'S how it can be done! Can the next one be BOTH the blades and the light kit spinning, but in opposite direction? Just make sure downrod-to-motor coupler is loose from the motor shaft, and run the fan on high updraft, and if the motor falls down, the motor housing would catch it from going all the way to the ground.

[@vfandm]

That's a great idea. I had tunnel vision on this one trying to get to the original, there were opportunities missed.

[@SRCVintageElectronics]

We all need laughter during this time. Great video.

[@Newussd227]

The Westminster is from the 25th of 2007 I see. That’s a childhood fan of mine

[@ZappingHero]

I think I've been watching this whole video around like almost 5 times, lol. Possibly because of the thumbnail (lol).

[@tots16]

Great video! What would’ve been a cool touch would’ve been putting a different colored bulb in each socket.

[@mechanicaldude8038]

If you ever do this again make sure make sure you put color bulbs in in the fan

[@zappinghero4690]

Golly, I can't stop watching this video, lol. xD

[@jessemireault-wyllie8892]

Oohhh you sassy! ”what is that? *turns to the camera* An Augusta 5minute fan?” 😂

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

I have a Hunter Low Profile V that I believe had the switch housing spin like this. It was installed at my local train station, and when someone failed twice to fix it, the motor ended up sitting on the housing, and they did apparently try to turn it on and they said "it wanted to spin" but it was stuck. Wires in the switch housing look kinda messed up, and bottom of the motor have circular scratch on it including all four screws on it, but the fan works perfectly.

[@baul104]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You really did put on a light show, huh?👍🏾

[@parkeringersoll973]

This was excellent!

I like the Hunter Westminster because it’s an ornate fan and ornate is my favorite ceiling fan style of all time. But I won’t try this at home.

[@MattsFans]

this comment just described my life

[@ClannahHeroGames]

At 13:27 - 13:32 (where you slowed down a part of a video clip), that's pretty similar to what I've been obsessed of doing to upload on my channel these days (where I slow down any parts of a any video I upload on there), lol.

I don't have an over-the-top personality, and I can't put on a fake one, so I do find it hard to inject personality into my videos which tend to lean more polished and professional. My vlogs admittedly aren't personality-based either. This was fun to just do something different and fully stupid, it was easier to let loose both for myself and with the editing.
