Hey guys, uh...yeah.
Welcome back to another episode of TwoSet Violin.
Now you may have seen us do a video a few months back,
where we roasted a violinist who "claimed" to be
the fastest violinist in the world.
*sigh*
Well, of course,
it turns out to be a lot of videos like these on the Internet.
A lot of...
*sigh*
And...
Yeah you're right.
We're talking about...
...the Guinness World Records.
(host) Guiness Primetime! *show music*
So this one is...
...the Guinness World Record of
"the most piano key hits in 1 minute".
*snickers* What...
I guess it's like the fastest piano player, but like...
- Hitting the keys. - Yeah.
Oh God. Okay.
There's an audience!
There's more audience than like a...
...conservatory performance.
There's like a cameraman...
Who goes to these events, by the way?
Have you...it's like,
"Alright mate, what do you wanna do for Saturday?"
"Just watch...the world's fastest piano key hitter."
Is that the warm up?
*laughs* I know right?
What's he doing, is it—
Is it like the tempo...
I don't know, do you see sprinters going...
...before they run, like...
Like...
No, he's hyping it up, because he realises...
...once he actually starts doing it, it's gonna be so musically boring.
- Oh, so as it sound good now. - Yeah.
- At least it sound rhythmic. - Yeah yeah yeah...
*sigh*
*snickers*
The piano...
Piano abuse!
I know. I feel sorry for the piano. *laughs*
That C sharp's actually just getting violated.
*shrieking*
I don't know...if you're a pianist you might know,
there are sometimes keys that don't work.
Yeah.
Sorry but this guy's been practicing on your pian... *snickers*
To people that are trying to break a world record...
when they break a note they go,
"Oh hang on, I need to jump to the next note."
No no no no no no no no no...
- Did you hear that? - Yeah!
I think he played a C natural and a D natural.
I heard 2 different notes, right?
I think this guy should be disqualified, because uh...
There's another note!
"Most piano key hits in..."
What does that even mean? Is it like 1 key?
Yeah, most piano "key", not "keys" hits.
- Yeah— - So he hit more than one key.
Disqualified. *snickers*
There's no "s" there, guys.
Get it!
*sarcastic cheering* *claps*
Yes, you deserve a...
Inspirational!
- History award. - Yeah!
- Historical award. - Thank you.
"I would have never thought that hitting the same note
for a minute could bring so much excitement."
I mean...life must—
You must have a great life. *snickers*
So they had uh, slow-motion footage...
counting every single hit.
That must have taken a long time.
765 notes...a minute!
Wait, how many notes per second is that?
- 12.75 notes a second! - Ohhhhhhhh!!!
- You ain't got nothing on Bumblebee! - That's right, you guys!
Challenge's on!
Some of like the best soloists in the world today,
could easily break these records.
- I think so, for sure. - Like Hilary Hahn can play "Flight of the Bumblebee",
- in like, under...50 seconds probably. - Yeah. Exactly.
But just like, they don't want to!
- Because— - There's no reason to!
I know. Oh, bring so much excitement.
And you can do it even playing with keys.
- Mmm. - Set the rules guys.
Can do it while actually playing music.
Ohhhh!!!! *airhorn*
Ohhhhh!!!!!
But wait.
There's more.
Ohhh!!!!
"The highest vocal note by a male."
Let's—let's watch, shall we?
*laughs*
This's so funny... *laughs*
Why?
Dude, do you see the
- faces of the people in the audience? - You know what he's doing?
You know what he's doing?
Wha...bonus challenge?!
Oh? One more?!
*excited mumble*
Is that like really, a lot of pressure on your
vocal chords or something?
- 'Cause... - I don't know.
It sounds like he's in—
It looks like he's in pain.
It does not sound good.
- I mean I don't know, it does not sound healthy. - It's...it's not normal at all.
It sounds like my kettle.
Oh sorry guys, just boiling some tea, guys!
So apparently, he's trying to break a world record of...
C sharp.
That's the previous one.
- 8... - It's currently stuck on C natural.
- Oh! - Can't get past it.
- Let's see if we can get past C sharp, guys! - Okay, can I just mention one more thing, like...
- Okay... - Yeah yeah...
Why does he have to do this?
*snickers*
Like, does that reduce like...
...amount of body mass or something,
so your pitch can get...
Like do you have to hear the C sharp or something?
Does that work?
*shrieks* Yeah, that doesn't make a difference.
Like you can...
Yeah...! *laughs* *claps*
That's what I mean!
*laughs*
Why is he blocking his ears...? *shrieks*
*laughs*
Dude, that reaction...
"Marry me."
*snickers*
Alright, so this is like, E4.
So...
Just when you think it can't get weirder than that...
It gets worse.
*scoffs*
"Most finger snaps in 1 minute."
*laughs*
3, 2, 1, go!
- I'll just pause it. Why's... - Why is he... *snickering*
Why is he squatting...? *snickers*
You just spat on me...! Yuck... *laughs*
So disgusting...! *laughs*
Sorry...
But why is he squatting...?! *laughs*
Bro.
- *laughs*Like the...the velocity... - Velocity, man!
Gravity, like... *laughs*
It's all in the motion of the body!
Dude, I'm gonna get like...
- The wrist like...injury. Tendonitis. - RSI...I know.
- Straight away, man. - Oh...he would have calluses on his fingers, as well.
Like... *scoffs*
*laughs* He's moving the other way...!
*laughing*
It's going this way, man.
*laughs*
Dude, 296 clicks in 1 minute.
Wow.
You know, I take this back.
This is a very relevant and meaningful achievement.
Very artistic, very uh...
I don't know, just...
I think humanity needs such achievements.
We do need things like this to keep our life interesting sometimes.
- So...thank you. - Thank you.
"Just imagine if this guy got his hands on
the Infinity Gauntlet instead..." *snickers*
*laughs* Thanos!
- Dude... *laughs* - Dude, he'll kill the whole...
No one will be alive...!
*laughs*
*excited mumble*
- Population goes from 7 billion, 4 billion, 1 billion... - What if you go from 7 billion minus 256 clicks?
What's the mathematics on that?
Wait...I know how to do it.
Alright. So you need to divide...
1 by 256, and then...
1 ÷ 256 = 0.0039, alright?
There'll be one person left!
That's Thanos! Himself!
Thanos himself will be alive if he do 256 clicks in a minute!
256 clicks will actually go from exactly 7 billion population to 1!
*hums illuminati music*
- Dude that guy will...do not... *laughs* - Eradicate humanity.
Just get this guy, quick, quick, go, go!
Pow pow pow pow!
The weirdest thing is like...
Who gets to decide these like, categories?
Because he actually broke...
...the previous guy's world record.
- You know? - Yeah.
So like...
How are these categories decided?
I know, and then how...
Who has that much time in figuring out the category like this?
Like...like what can be a category?
Like smashing the most amount of toilet seats
over your head in a minute?
Go!
What about...
Putting on as many wet t-shirts in under 1 minute?
*sigh*
Actually how about we go on their website
and see how it all works?
'Cause like—do they have rules on...like...
What can be a category and what can't? Let's see.
Standard application.
Okay. So from the looks of the website,
if you want a new record title,
like a new suggestion of a category, you have to pay $5.
If you want priority...
...you have to pay $800.
But here's the most messed up bit.
None of these services...
...alright? I looked this up yesterday,
are what we saw.
Because these ones are...
You literally just mail in the evidence,
- and they review it. You don't get any TV coverage. - Yeah.
- It says, - Yeah.
"Not suitable for promotion."
And the ones that we see,
are what's called the "Account Managed Services",
which is...literally it says,
"We consult you on the perfect record-breaking campaign."
"Want to find a title to suit your company or organization objective..."
Like it's literally...
...like publicity stunts for corporations.
- Oh my God. - They're making a business out of it. And, it says,
"Price upon request."
Which means it's probably a lot more than $800
to even appear...get a chance to appear on the TV show.
Yeah.
Because, they will "consult" you...
- Yeah - And then they...
They turn this idea of world record from like...
...great human achievement, to like...
...a business for publicity stunts and corporate promotion,
which is...which [is] why a lot of them are so ridiculous,
because the more weird, the more clicks.
It's clickbait.
But with like..."human achievement". *groans*
Wow, great way to steer humanity in this...
...fantastic and useful direction.
Should we apply?
Oh, hello there.
Hi, I'm a...musician,
and I want to be a professional that
makes a living as a musician, playing music.
Musician, huh.
Well what do you have? What do you got?
Well, I can play some...you know, Tchaikovsky.
*tsk*
No... it's beautiful but...
Too many people can play Tchaikovsky.
You need something different.
Give me something different.
Something...different...
Yeah, something useless and different, you know?
Useless...
- Useless and different... - Yeah.
*sigh* That only I can do?
Yeah, only you can do,
and no one else in the world can do.
What about...
Most number of string pizzicatos in 1 minute?
Woah.
That's definitely a record to break!
Let's do it!
10...
9...
8...
7...
6...
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and go! *whistle blows*
Quick!
Keep going!
10 seconds!
Time's up!
[Japanese] Ohhh Sugoi desu ne! (How amazing!)
*grunts in approval*
There's a new record!
9999 pizzicatos in a minute!
Mmm!!!
The previous world record was...0!
Whoa...!
- Yes!!! Yes!!! - Woah!!!
I made it! Yes!!! *applause*
Thanks for watching, see you guys next time!
