Simone Giertz Tests the Makey Makey!

For this week's Show and Tell, Simone brings the Makey Makey invention kit to the office to teach Norm how to turn everyday items into keyboards and game controllers. High fives and furious banana slapping contests ensue. Just another day at the Tested office!

Thanks for watching!

[@rollend5000]

Jesus. In a video about Simone and Norm "beating their bananas" Adam still manages to be the weirdest and funniest part.

[@michawojciak1837]

Hmmmm... Nope. He didn't make it:D

[@yukitora10]

this video is 90% Simone reminding herself to be kid friendly

[@rayquatics23]

Me:” why would Simone have a job at tested? Like I love Simone but Isn’t she a bit too wierd for this?” Adam savage:”smell my fingers” Also me:”oh she’s the sane one”

[@bobfromwork]

bpm = bananas per minute

[@JamesJas85]

Norm = 0 Simone = 1

[@tyranisoar7401]

James Shepherd, Norm at least had what resembled a banana after a minute, so Norm-1 Simone-0

[@Rotsuoy]

"beat our bananas" "smell my fingers" "We're not even at ten seconds and my banana is flaccid" "I beat my banana better" Tested, what are you doing?

[@ChoralAlchemist]

Rotsuoy “I beat the banana better” got me so good.

[@DenisRyan]

"So easy to use..." *is clearly having difficulty opening the box* Hah!

[@tajwatkins5606]

Denis Ryan sissor needed

[@Vexz99]

she needs to make a shitty robot that opens boxes..... next KZbin video

[@MalinOfSweden]

Denis Ryan calm down and slapp a banana :D

[@xavierfinlay4942]

Denis Ryan I agree!!!!!!!!

[@NicolaiSyvertsen]

I hate packaging that is designed to highlight the product in the box. Always a pain to open those instead of the opaque ones where things are just neatly placed inside.

[@ilichiregius2884]

This video should have been titled "So Many Double Entendres".

[@ian-c.01]

it's probably a good thing they weren't using sausages

[@ilichiregius2884]

I'm sure someone on the team thought about it.

[@ironjaw333]

7:27 "I beat the banana better"

[@wolfsworkshop9095]

is not like banana's are lesser penises than sausages

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

SirWheelzAlot84 Simone loves dirty jokes

[@frankenstini]

Norm is faster but Simone gets the job done.

[@streglof]

Not fair, he probably had more practice...

[@Reth_Hard]

Is it just me or this guy always looks just a bit lost?

[@10bit25]

Frank Einstein he's Asian you racist bellend 😂😂😂

[@xxgrimriverxx9845]

A random Adam appears: "Hey smell my fingers" Oh, I ain't falling for that one again. lol

[@supermanboy1255]

xXGrimRiverXx Pikachu use sniff

[@Say-Hello]

Adam: Smell my hand Me: IT'S A TRAP!

[@TheFusselmonster]

People with siblings -.-

[@henningbutz2289]

ofc norm can beat a banana faster than simone thats not a fair test

[@Gassit]

He got married recently so he might be a bit out of practice :)

[@matthewmoss1589]

Dude, spoilers

[@satricon]

if he got married, then he oughta be good again!

[@CharmingNewSociety]

+Matthew Moss Spoilers? Who reads the comments before watching the video?

[@Antenox]

+Jacky Lawrence Anti-SJWs and MRAs. :P

[@BrainSlugs83]

Oh my gods... When Adam stumbles into the scene looking like a mad beggar asking them to smell his hand... I just laughed so hard. XD

[@GeekFurious]

I've slapped my banana pretty vigorously with similar results: a woman laughing herself unconscious.

[@leonelc29]

I came in confused, and leave even more confused.

[@itsnothardev]

everything from 6:00 onwards was pure gold im laughing so hard

[@turgsh01]

My face hurts so much. And I regret watching it a second time cuz it brought back the pain again, lol.

[@rixt135]

Same! I just got my wisdom tooth removed and laughing hurts so much but I just can't help it

[@jtosety]

Rixt van der Valk you should know better than to watch a video with Simone in it if it hurts to laugh

[@rixt135]

haha I know :D It was my own fault

[@tmumandthepips]

It's not often I just sit at the blank screen at the end of a video because I'm still laughing. It took me a good 3 minute before I could do anything else. This was amazing!

[@CDRaff]

She yells "Fuck it" then begins to beat the banana harder and faster. This is not a innuendo this is what actually happened.

[@MiceAndMinecraft]

who can beat their banana faster..."wait, smell my finger" O.o this is the quality programming we demand. XD

[@2nd3rd1st]

4:44 Thank you, Simone, for that image. My life is now complete.

[@Wolyboly24]

“I beat the banana better.” Best line ever. Someone make a shirt please.

[@DanielSvensson666]

Ok, this video was just too funny, Simone made it even funnier as well as Adams random "Smell my fingers".😂

[@punishedprops]

This might be my favorite Tested video of all time.

[@AngelXjp]

This is by far the best video on TESTED ever!!!!! hahahahahaha I was crying I laughed so hard with you Simone! I LOVE your sense of humor! You always make my day!

[@illustriouschin]

This is gonna sound really weird, but smell my fingers. ...Haha it's your mom!

[@mardirehab]

Gordon Chin lol I scrolled down expecting this... a friend of mine evolved this little old gem of school yard wit by adding this "Now smell my breath", [hah] "And thats ya dad"

[@RobertDurkinJr]

Simone, that is the hardest I have laughed in a long time. Thank you for not only being inspiring, but also hilarious.

[@meh.7539]

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Tested: "Lets count how fast we can slap a banana!"

[@HowlsInTheDistance]

The random Savagery finally convinced me to subscribe.

[@Ghostzaku]

Really liked the flow of this episode a lot

[@EricRosenbaum]

Thanks for the super nice shout out Simone!

[@ryanmarren]

Simone is too pure, we must protect her!

[@robscanlon6568]

2 great conversation starters " smell my hand" and "slap my banana"

[@joshuablake8105]

Simone is so pretty😊 and intelligent. Every morning I watch one of her vids and it never fails to get me up and motivated. Thanks so much Simone!

[@batlin]

5:14 "Let's clap some bananas." ...definitely not a phrase I expected to hear today.

[@jasonsweeney890]

ive never laughed harder than when she went from lightly tapping the banana to literally beating the banana.

[@WesleyTreat]

This is the greatest video Tested has ever produced.

[@occasionalcat4122]

"Now, we can wire up the banana." -Simone Giertz, 2017

[@sluggyyarvin]

Note to self, don't let Simone near my banana.

[@annanotintunerightnow]

"let's slap some bananas" - Simone Giertz quote of the year

[@GeobertQuach]

The Simone's touch, so magical, made my day xD

[@Destructor111]

That got delightfully weird. It was Like Jamie's odd non sequitur set off a weirdness cascade! Wonderful stuff.

[@sambrewer2306]

"Its not how many beats per min, its the quality of the beats"

[@_Nesquick_]

Woah this escalated quickly! :D

[@IntergalacticApeMan]

Come on Adam, "Smell my finger!" can't sound that weird, when you ask the ones about to compete in slapping bananas.

[@zmast333]

I lost it when she smashed the banana :'D

[@craigcorson3036]

I just adore Simone's child-like enthusiasm. It's quite endearing.

[@sebastianpolanco11]

"I beat the banana better" killed me XD

[@Sh27x3m]

Simone is just the best. So hilarious!

[@ChoralAlchemist]

Just a casual day at the office: banana smacking competitions (to which Adam Savage does not bat an eye), all the terrible innuendoes regarding said bananas, and “smell my fingers” as conversation openers. Sounds like a really good place.

[@Rksager]

Banana spanking competition and hand smelling. Best video ever. Yes, that's it Simone. Smush the banana.

[@iMartinvideos]

Is anyone going to link that perfume?

[@huntergurevich3142]

demeterfragrance.com/paperback.html

[@teslacoil20kv55]

the best way to spray your tablet or you ebook machine :P

[@heartajack]

This may be one of the funnier Tested videos I've seen.

[@GregoryWeirauch]

THIS is why I love Simone

[@UkiMalefu]

SIMONE SMASH!

[@colinyoung3685]

Simone should have got Adam to smell her hand after smashing the banana.

[@Mikey8567]

She soooooooo wanted to make a "Related" comment to "Beating the Banana" especially after Norm said "I beat the banana better!" 7:26

[@bluewolf3508]

Mikey8567 she was gonna make a pun but she losed it when he said "I beat the banana better"

[@Link122]

Beating the banana-kit.. I've seen these in another type of store

[@nickeq3819]

thought the same lol

[@McJaews]

That's the most 'Adam' thing I've ever seen. "Yo, guys slapping babanas: Smell this paperback perfume! Okay bye."

[@enormhi]

About damn time we had more Simone in non-premium videos!

[@r3ddirt962]

It was going so well... then somewhere around "smell my fingers" it just went off the rails! Hilarious!

[@fralach]

"I beat the banana better"... doesn't get any better than this :)

[@Film21Productions]

6:04 Them Foot Steps were added in. Illuminati confirmed!

[@aznracer2003]

Of course Norm would win, he's been beating his banana since he was a teen.

[@Adnegoo]

Bring Simone to a video = Instant laughters and likes.

[@BigZ7337]

That was great, and so incredibly random

[@GreyDevil]

The moment the video reveals itself to be an excuse to slap bananas = greatness

[@themurph7780]

Today on Tested. We beat our bananas, FOR SCIENCE!

[@WouterWeggelaar]

this is epic...laughed out loud, and a very nice plug for makey makey Smell my hand :P and then the banana slapping contest. A+ content right here!

[@nik4790]

This is cool and all but the best part is when Adam came in and had them smell his fingers. He's so awesome.

[@Velisatra]

I think that *technically* Simone *beat* the banana better. Look at how smashed and gooey hers is.

[@ABH-82]

I cry tears of joy

[@eponymousmann5088]

Simone melting down and unable to continue: Classic. Norm soldiering on to keep the video together: Also, Classic! I love it!

[@booogs]

i love how adam just runs out of frame giggling like a little kid

[@rockmandashzero]

After they took all the time to unwrap all the stuff inside the box, found the manual booklet and eventually came to ask "Ok, how do we do this?", and Norm reads "Step 1: Connect yourself to Earth" I just exploded laughing.

[@MCFishNuggets]

Thank you, Adam, for that relevant and needed intervention

[@steve42lawson]

7:10 and we witness the violent phase of Simone's banana beater cycle.

[@setphaser]

simone is the best, she just makes me wanna take part and be silly and have fun and MAKE STUFF!

[@NilsnVan]

haha adam savage is savage "smell my hand" XD

[@tdotholmes]

Norm and Simone are perfect hosts together

[@jvebarnes]

Well lets see I think that Simone won the "who can smash a banana and make people laugh as she loses it" contest. You rock Simone YaY banana smoothy made by Simone's hand. :)

[@JosephParker_Nottheboxer]

I just love how Simone looses the plot completely and can't do anything but giggle on the floor after totally mashing her banana. Could almost be said "this is not the correct tool for the job" but Norm clearly makes it work.

[@penrar]

Banana going splat had me in pieces. Only Simone!

[@VadimBanev]

Good lord, I'm three years late to this party but... how is it a coincidence that Simone says "We're gonna put it to the test!" and sort of 'summons' Adam out of the nowhere :D ...

[@strati5phere]

She yelled "fuck it" and proceeded to smash her banana. LMAO!

[@DracoOmnia]

"Beat our bananas".... not a phrase I had ever heard before today... well done Norm, although Simone gets style points for vigor.

[@MercurialCorsair]

A few key bindings and you're playing snes on a banana, that's living the dream

[@dcpunk4]

When you're part of the Tested crew, and Adam comes up to you demanding you smell his fingers... are you obligated to do it? This episode was hilarious!

[@ashhillmodels3801]

Random Adam coming in... smell my fingers!... couldnt stop laughing

[@subwarpspeed]

And then Simone went to Adam and said - smell my fingers. He smells them and asks: - "Are that smashed banana?!?", Simone: -"Yes!" (still chucking).

[@judman13]

Best Tested video YET!!!!! Holy Crap we need more content like this! Love it!

[@justwatching5666]

A day at the Tested office: Simone and Norm beating bananas and Adam trying to make himself smell like paperback books.

[@StubbornProgrammer]

Simone is such a great addition to Tested.

[@debdottir]

"I beat the banana better." Words that will live in infamy. That was hilarious! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@jc1982discovery]

Slap the banana that's a new term for it..... then smell my fingers.... have you listened to this without video it is hilarious

[@tatooweeny]

I'm not letting Simone near my banana! Friggin pounded it into mush! That's nightmare fuel right there!

[@snowhunter819]

"Smell my Fingers" Really?

[@mazeura001]

damn, Simone got rough with it!😂

[@M7352169]

Funniest Tested video ever! (I love the Laura Kampf sticker = great maker)

[@Nomad0036]

I normally don'y laugh at the videos on this channel. But this was great. Adam coming in and her at the end.

[@fondajames]

best tested video of the year so far!

[@almagill]

So many double entendres.. and then Adam is all "Sniff my fingers"... *dying here*
