This Is What The Internet’s For
I wonder if, when Bobby Internet invented the internet, he imagined it would be used for videos like this. There’s something so fun about watching people crack up at work. See also SNL actors breaking. They also have fun accents, which I maybe shouldn’t say because kottke.org is worldwide and if you live in Australia, you probably just think the videos are funny without any special notice of the accent.
Anyway, I was watching this and my eight year old saw it over my shoulder and said excitedly, “I’ve seen that!” I thought he was watching mostly Bluey so I asked him what he searched to find this and he said, “Balloon popping videos,” matter of factly, so I guess we’re kind of the same and that’s a perfectly understandable thing for an 8-year-old to be searching for on YouTube. Then we watched a video of these guys throwing things off a Swiss dam.

Guys... underhand.
Yeah, I wonder how that would have helped with the screws or the forks. Now they need to do a new video of just underhand.
All the popping is great, but I just love it when the lettuce get rejected by the balloon.
Ha, I saved this to show my nine-year-old. Her response? "Yeah, I've seen that before." Now I guess we know what grade schoolers watch on YouTube!
