- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.
Welcome to "The Super Slow Show."
Dan, how many times since we started working together
have you wanted to see me blow up?
Yeah, several for sure.
I'm not talking about throwing a hissy fit,
I mean literally exploding.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah.
Although, I suppose
you'd have to come back into one piece afterwards.
'Cause you need me to film the next video?
Unfortunately, yeah.
Luckily for you, Dan,
we've got a full-sized
- ice sculpture. - Oh, yes!
( theme music playing )
'Cause I don't like to be lonely,
you're up there with me too.
'Cause we're all about equality
- on "Super Slow Show." - Well, I'm always the one
getting hurt and being blown up usually,
so how is that equal?
I'd say it's equal.
- Right, okay. - Yeah.
Anyway, we've rigged them all with det cord.
I even got a trigger,
I'm gonna blow them up
when the spin rig is up to speed.
We're shooting at 1,000 frames a second,
as the camera is whipping around them,
hopefully getting some ice and chunks
floating right by the camera.
It should look top.
But we're dripping pretty heavily,
so let's get behind the blast shield
and say goodbye to ourselves.
I mean, you've always been a bit of a drip,
so not much of a change there.
Gav: Harsh, harsh words.
- Okay. - And my heart's beating fast
- you could say. - This is pretty cool.
Sorry, sorry.
Got a detonator in my pocket, luckily.
All right, let's get that spin rig spinning.
( whirring )
Gav: We look nervous.
- Dan: We do. - Gav: I can see it in our icy faces.
That thing is picking up some heft.
Three, two, one!
- Whoa! - God!
- Oh! - Jeez!
- Wait! - I think a bit of your head
- hit the blast screen. - How did you survive?
No, no, I think that's me that went.
- Typical! - I survived!
It's not fair. Every time.
You know, I wish I could say that I rigged that on purpose
- You-- right? - so that only you blew up.
You-- you're just like this.
Just like that. "Yeah, whatever."
I would like to think that's what would happen in real life
if you just exploded next to me, I'd be like, "Oh, this..."
Yeah.
Gav:
Just chilling, literally.
-
- Gav:
Gav:
and you can no longer see through it.
It's like you just turned to snow.
Dan:
Gav:
That looks wicked.
Dan:
as in, like, from ice to...
-
It looks like you're in a snow globe
that, like, was me.
Gav:
and you became weather.
-
- Just gonna grab your leg. - Look at that slush!
Oh! Just sweeping myself away.
( laughs )
All right, okay.
One thing I love about this spinner rig
is that... once all the ice has come out
and it's the just falling, the camera's actually moving faster
than the subject, which is something we've rarely done
on this channel.
Usually the camera's just sat on a tripod,
but when it's really hauling ass past the subject,
it looks pretty top.
Okay, let's blow you up this time, shall we?
Second time's a charm.
Okay.
Gav:
- Dan:
Everything just looks so much better with it.
Ready? Three, two, go!
- Gav: Goodbye, me. - ( Dan grunts )
- Dan: Oh! - ( Gav laughs )
Damn!
- ( exhales ) - Would you look at that.
How come there's more of you left than there is of me?
I'm taller.
( laughs ) For once in your life.
( music playing )
- Dan:
Gav:
just annihilating my spine.
Dan:
Gav:
You were more of a misting and I was lumpy.
It's true.
Wonder why.
Dan:
Gav:
just loaded you up with way more.
Dan:
"Blow him up first as well."
All right.
Let's try for a double.
Right, the second set. ( grunts )
I feel like this time they need to look more the part.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
( grunts, exhales )
Okay.
- ( grunts ) - Do a little bit of dressing here.
- Okay. - Literal dressing.
Thank you very much.
Let's go!
Okay, hang on.
Okay.
( grunts )
( Gav laughs )
Gav: It looks so stupid.
I'm ready to det.
Hopefully we both go.
Three, two, one!
Both: Oh!
- Jeez! - God!
Flip an egg.
- Look, the lab coat is ripped to shreds. - Wait!
Is that one of our heads?
Just rolled on the floor there.
Hold on, did you see that?
( music playing )
- Gav:
( Gav laughs )
- Dan:
Dan:
I'm pretty sure your head just fell off.
Mine was destroyed.
Gav:
Dan:
with the hat there. Look, there's your head
floating in midair for no reason.
The shrapnel, the bits of cloth and lab coat and hat.
- That's the hat? - They're flying.
That's my shredded hat.
Dan:
Gav:
and the rig was just like, "I got this."
- Bang. - And just hit it for six.
- Oh, no! - B, B, my lab coat.
Oh, no!
Look at your hat!
( laughing ) Look at this.
My lab coat, look.
Oh, this is yours!
- That's mine? - That's yours.
That might be the most ruined my lab coat has ever got.
- What's left of Dan's hat. - Oh, okay, yeah, right, brilliant.
At least yours is still a lab coat,
look at this.
This is literally all that's left of mine.
You just got-- it just turned to rags.
- Oh... - Where's the rest of it?
Hang on, "Welcome to the Super Shh."
That's all that we've got left.
- Gav: "Supe Shh." - Dan: Oh, man.
Yeah?
Well, that was super cool.
I agree.
- Not a good pun, but I definitely agree. - Sorry, sorry.
Thank you very for much for watching the episode
of "The Super Slow Show,"
and we will see you right back here pretty soon
for another one, how 'bout that, Dan?
Hopefully I'll have a better lab coat,
or at least...
I'm sure we can afford it.
Okay, all right, good.
Ugh.
