This is my second favorite gas, first one is Oxygen.

[@Imthe_womanizer]

Omg not a single comment?

[@andrewm3210]

Fun fact: your body's favourite gas is carbon monoxide because it absorbs into your blood far more readily than oxygen. Unfortunately it is also quite deadly which goes to show that we sometimes don't know what's best for us 😕

I was thinking about my farts that's my fav ..🤣🤣jk

Just breathe this and then go talk casually to a stranger. He'll think he's going mad.

I imagine Louis Armstrong breathing this.

[@MarkkTheSharkk]

I love it when adults can have fun for a change

[@smashbrolink]

I'm disappointed that no one did the Kool-Aid Man's voice....

[@KR7PT]

It has awesome scientific properties, such as floating objects and stopping tazers from working. But the coolest part is that it makes your voice sound funny.

[@PrestigeClips]

Okay I understand people want Tay Zonday to try this stuff, but seriously this REALLY NEEDS TO HAPPEN! SOMEONE TWEET HIM OR SOMETHING I'M SO CURIOUS I CAN'T SLEEP NOT KNOWING WHETHER HIS VOICE CAN GO LOWER!!!!111

2:03 uHUUUH HUUUUH

[@FlyntofRWBY]

Just so everybody knows... Try not to inhale too much because sulfur hexaflouride is toxic. You will also notice that your voice will stay deep for a long time with just one inhalation. The reason is that it is 6 times denser than air, making it sink to the bottom of your lungs. Just exhale until there is no more air in your lungs and you will be back to normal!

[@abelfonseca]

Its not toxic.

[@metsubo]

Wow the guy who runs their mixing board is terrible at his job.

[@MrMusiclover558]

I love how at first they were edgy about it and then when Steve said alright lets do it again they all went in for it.

[@judemacasinag]

Did you know that Darth Vader didnt say "Luke, I am your father?" He actually said "No. I am your father." :)

[@iTzAndybrahhhhh]

this is the most excitement theyve ever had in their adult lives

[@getpumped87]

My video quality was poor in the beginning, thought the guy in the middle was Kelsey Grammer and was pretty excited to see how deep his voice would go

[@JeraWolfe]

This was awesome.

[@Osiriscat97]

really cool. makes you wonder if there are other gasses that are also inert and that you can breathe to make your voice deeper.

[@TheWizardofLimes]

In the decade following this comment, a video was produced by Cody's Lab in which he enhales perfluorobutane, which as you said, is another non toxic heavy gas.

[@Katieeirene]

"Hi there sexy"

[@udlrfbak]

this gas has the same effects as laughing gas getting high on tv love it

[@gulllars]

Whenever doing this, someone always need to yell: "Get to da choppa! NAO!" or "Put dat cookie daun, NAO!"

Amazing for news anchor

I have a really deep voice and I remember I did a fog horn once for fun, I scared myself.

[@Cosmickey86]

"Yeahyeah breathe in like this... then breathe out so you don't die." !!!

[@jocax188723]

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch...

[@giraffeorganic]

does iggy get high on this gas every time she sings?

[@jamieb2563]

SF6 is probably the strongest green-house gas but luckily is too heavy to reach the atmosphere.

[@IntenseDarknessable]

People who get the great idea of inhaling Sulfur Hexafluoride to get that deep funny voice, be careful with it... specially when giving it to your kids. The gas is much, much heavier than air and you won't be able to get it all out of your lungs unless you stand on your hands head down. I'm not trolling, I'm saying this cause some people might get hurt if they don't do their research properly. :)

[@07logiebear]

The turbulence experienced by elements of fluid in your lungs mixes gas of variable density and the heavy gas would be expelled by entrainment :) I'm studying chem eng and this is how we ensure effective mixing of emulsions consisting of different density liquids and design 2 phase reactors

[@kingzach74]

It's actually been proven safer to inhale than helium.

[@KMT15]

100% correct!

[@BenHallert]

Looks like Frasier finally picked up that TV new gig. Good for him.

[@German_R335istance]

They look like they’re having so much fun

[@halestoorm511]

its all ogre now..

[@MarsFireProduction]

2:12 - 2:14 - "Luke, i am your father!"

[@nydrastos]

Just asking, ain't SF6 a poisonous gas?

[@ippusor]

Imagine a church choir on this

[@halmm44]

The burning sensation goes away in about a week.

[@HDadvocate85]

West coast news anchors..

[@maxiemo55]

I was JUST thinking about that watching this video!

[@jonahpona]

Yeah it's all fun and giggles but the important thing that he forgets to mention is that, unless you don't stand upside down for a few seconds, the gas will remain in your lungs forever do to it being heavier then air so it will never come out the normal way AND you lungs will take less oxiden in..

[@dougscott8136]

I think that all you really need to do it take a few fast deep breaths of air to swirl the gas around in your lungs, and it will expel the heavier than air gas as long as you exhale fast as well with little to no delay between inhale and exhale. The less gas there is, the easier it is to get it moving around on a fast inhale. Point is while you are correct in initial logic, standing on your head is not the only solution.

[@DeezFamily]

2:18 "Breathe out so you don't die"...yeah totally safe :)

[@nintendo1889x]

That's BS. You don't have to stand upside down and it doesn't stay in your lungs forever, Einstein.

[@Troop3r666]

dennis nguyen ya...how was no-one alarmed by that, they all took in stride lol

They just huffing gas on television lmao. "And in other news, you now have to be 18+ and show ID when buying white out."

[@nathanlee103163]

So cool

[@erutuon]

I wanted them to put the aluminum boat in again to see how low the gas had gotten after they all breathed it.

[@G1NZOU]

Only if you keep breathing it in, you can be fine with a lower level of oxygen for a minute or two, as long as you breath out an in again once you've done your voice to fill your lungs with oxygen again. It's inert like Helium and Nitrogen, so it's not really the gas that's dangerous rather the lack of oxygen.

[@kestill]

That would be a fun newscast if they talked that way through the whole broadcast haha how fun would the news be?

[@magefactory]

My grandpa was his 8th grade science teacher. :3

[@TheEvolNemesis]

True Fact: Sulfur Hexaflouride is used in the process of Uranium enrichment for nuclear power plants.

[@yoised]

"burning sensation will go away in about a week" no big deal

[@Hankvdb]

This gas is kinda dangerous though... Since it's heavier than air, it can be left behind in your lungs when you breath it in. If this happens, your lungs will be able to take less and less oxygen in untill... You might aphyxiate.

[@LeroyPeterson]

These people single handedly caused global warming releasing that much SF6
