In like 5+ years from now, someone is going to post on Reddit that they found a handmade minecraft sheep in a warehouse somewhere

[@pavanbiliyar]

Or thr full-sized sheep house filled with dynamite.

[@jwalster9412]

And everyone in the comments is going to be going mental, trying to find it's origin. It will end up on KZbin at some point and they still won't know because it's reddit and everything will claim it as their own thinking it's cool.

[@swordsmancs]

The little ‘pixels’ just bursting out in a cloud of blocky debris is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen in so long. Like a creeper exploding into little cubic bits just feels so perfectly right, like of _course_ it exploded into pixels, what else would it do? Phenomenal

[@spacejump_]

4:27 I appreciate Gav for making sure the charged creeper effect goes out of focus as well! Nice attention to detail!

[@foxnight2312]

He did make that effect slow down in slow-mo too! So much attention for detail, I love slow-mo guys

[@michaelwesten4624]

why?

[@Hackanhacker]

@michaelwesten4624 ? ... Because its a channel about filming stuff clearly ... we want to see the explosion without effect over it how can you not think about that xD WE Love explosion and are here to see it !!! It was in fact good editing i got th same reaction as him(main comment) :P

[@inutaisho7996]

My favorite part of this video is that at some point in the future, some unclaimed luggage store will have a beautiful Minecraft sheep for sale.

[@sane_scientist]

"Sir there's a piece of unclaimed ..uh ... luggage in the shipment" "Bugger, ok what is it?" "Sheep"

[@SeanBidwell]

So a whole 3 then? right next to the note from his mom.

[@ColtonWalker073]

​@@SeanBidwellDon't forget the buckets of tears.

[@Nitrinoxus]

Gav's reaction to the Creeper is pretty much the _exact_ reaction that most _Minecraft_ players have when one of those kamikaze shrubs sneaks up on them.

[@dracul1986]

And all because an error in coding that made a pig do weird things.

[@Crawfishness]

Kamikaze shrub... That's a new one.

[@Nitrinoxus]

@@Crawfishness It's a nickname that's stuck with me because, when I first encountered a Creeper, I almost didn't see it among the leaves of the low trees it spawned in.

[@knightshousegames]

I love how much this channel has retained it's character over the years. It's much more complex production, but at the end of the day it's still just 2 dudes screwing around with ideas they think are funny with a really expensive camera I still remember when they did the video with the stump soaked in gasoline with the firesteel as a minecraft reference in their backyard. And now there are kids who play minecraft who are younger than that video

[@Viniter]

5:00 One of the rare times where the regular speed footage makes for one of the best shots in the video. The way the top flies up and one of the cubes bounces toward the camera - you can't plan this stuff!

[@Starfloofle]

I honest to god just burst out laughing at that, it's so absolutely cartoonish how high it goes and how long it stays in the air They say art imitates life, I didn't think they meant it *that* much LOL

[@tommybradly3735]

Gav talking about Creepers, Lets Plays and Tower of Pimps was serious nostalgia

[@jessemorris744]

Gav bringing his relatives on the show is always a treat

[@privatelast8724]

Took me a second to get that. Must be a cousin.

[@bryanchiaramonte4061]

Always a good sound hearing Gav say he won the LetsPlay

I hope you don't go down with the ship but if you do please film it in slow mo

[@BipolarGremlin]

The fact there's a Minecraft sheep lost in the airline is actually hilarious. Imagine being the one that finds it, or having it show up in one of those unclaimed baggage shops lol

[@beavinator]

I appreciate how Gav slowed down the super-creeper visual effect when the slow-mo footage started. Nice touch 😁

[@SandmanDP]

4:22 IT FINALLY HAPPENED! GAV WON MONOPOLY!

[@PhilHubbs02]

My 6 year old daughter loves the slow mo guys and calls Gav “my guy”. Since we live in Colorado she always yells at me for not having their number so we can meet them when they come to Mines to blow crap up 😂

[@darthkarl99]

Awww, she sounds incredibly sweet

[@Zachmman1997]

Hey Gav and Dan. This idea would be very hard to film but there's a strange effect when you shoot a frozen pond with a 9MM FMJ. The ice will cancel forward momentum but keep the spin. The 9mm round will spin across the ice like a top. I posted a KZbin short on my page showing this effect but seeing it in slow mo would be a world first. I can offer my property for you guys to use, It just has to be winter!

[@CrispOffTheBlock]

the creeper is made of little individual blocks like pixels... good gods just the silly little details is why i love this channel so much. (that, and about a billion other reasons)

[@TheMrAlex288]

Hearing Gav say “Tower of Pimps” made me smile so much.

[@Getpojke]

The undamaged blocks of wood show how great timber is at resisting compression force. I had a discussion with a guy a while back about why the still make wooden pallets. He thought they should make them out of something more "hi-tech". But not only is wood inexpensive & easily worked - it can withstand crazy amounts of compression force. Look at all those film clips of massive steel ships being constructed, many thousands of tons; the ships are & still do rest on wooden blocks. would be interesting to do concussive tests on different woods sometimes. Awesome video BTW, really enjoyed it as always.

[@JarieSuicune]

Reminds me of an assignment in shop class when I was in middle school... we had to use only three pieces of paper to make a platform that would withstand as much pressure as possible. We took one sheet, cut it into strips and rolled them as tightly as possible then taped the rolls vertically between the other two pieces of paper. Our platform didn't give at all and the pressure device reached maximum force for what it was allowed. None of the others did that well. Sure, it wasn't a pretty platform, but it was solid. Trees are epic.

[@entropic-decay]

random fun fact about charged creepers in-game: the way the overlay is added to show they're charged is technically a piece of armor. this is also used for the wither when it hits half-health and becomes impervious to projectiles

[@carbonphantom1]

Please god. If I get one thing this year. Let it be another slow mo guys video.

[@simaknaveedakther8755]

I love how gav and dan made the creeper as intense as it could just like in the game

[@evankinsler4569]

I’m honestly super glad that Gavin is still doing so good after so long.

[@ChellSky]

4:55 that one block sitting on a brick just not budging an inch is hilarious

[@moos5221]

I've praised you for your video a lot, but we should also acknowledge how awesome the people from the Colorado School of Mines must be, to host you there over and over, even though you're probably known to cause a mess in that place. Shoutout to the people there, you're awesome!

The School of Mines has become to the Slowmo Guys as Alameda Runway was to the Mythbusters.

U know what i would rly love to see? At the end of every year a compilation of bloopers u two guys where u burst out in laughter, fail to say a word corrwect, things that absolutely did not work etc That would be so wholesome

[@asktoseducemiss434]

It was really clever to use the creeper's squares as a 3D overlay anchor, by the way. That boost in power was incredibly well-attached.

[@Rcade365]

This shot at 5:00 was so good!! Love the perspective, creeper head, and block flying past the camera

[@sampeters8010]

Absolutely love the content !As a keen snooker player it would be super interesting to see a video of a snooker/Pool cue tip contacting a cue ball. With a variety of cue tip hardnesses available from super soft to extremely hard, it would be interesting to study the different cue tip hardnesses and how they behave observing the cue tip contact time (depending on hardnesses), compression, the deformation of each particular tip, as well as cue shaft flex and chalk to tip adhesion/dispersion
