- [Jamie] When you think about it,
cotton candy is kind of magical.
It's an impossibly light tuft of airy candy
that dissolves in your mouth with a big flavor.
- Also magical?
Unicorns.
Unfortunately, they don't exist.
So we're gonna have to make one
out of cotton candy.
(silly upbeat music)
This is Vat19.
We're known for using our curiously awesome gifts
to make awesomely big videos.
(upbeat happy music)
Each week, our team has to figure out
how to pull off a new idea and try to create the next hit.
This could be awesome.
This week I've challenged the team
to build a life size unicorn made out of cotton candy.
It's gonna be magical.
- So, Jamie wants us to make a unicorn out of cotton candy.
- Yeah.
- Sounds easy enough.
- Uh, this big.
- No, not that big.
I think we need to go horse-sized.
We sell a lot of cotton candy in different flavors, colors.
Pancakes and maple syrup.
- Apple pie.
- Mm, so good.
- Oh my goodness.
- I don't think we can use these
if we wanna make a full size unicorn.
The cost will be too high,
we'll waste a bunch of packaging.
- We'll eat most of it.
- (laughs) So I think we just have rent a cotton candy maker
and make a lot of it.
We have to get it done fast
because cotton candy doesn't do well in humidity.
- All right, we we've got some fresh cotton candy,
nice and fluffy.
This is an aquarium with some water in it.
Now, we got this idea from the King of Random.
Here we go.
- Two, one.
- Oh.
- It's like instant.
- It just disappears.
That is so cool-looking.
If the room is even a little bit humid
where you're making your cotton candy,
it's bad for the cotton candy.
- You will not have cotton candy very long.
So we'll have to maybe get a dehumidifier,
control the climate.
So this is my idea for what we can do
to kind of support all that cotton candy.
We just need to cut out a torso silhouette out of foam.
And then we can take little wooden skewers
and just stick it right to the foam,
and kind of build out our horse.
To the hardware store.
(laid-back happy music)
Do you think this plan's gonna work?
- I don't see why not.
It's gonna be delicious.
- Dehumidifiers are really expensive.
So we're gonna put a little dial in our room
to see how humid it is before we buy one.
- We got a thermometer and humidity gauge.
It should help us see if the room's gonna be good.
(scanner beeping)
- I'm working on setting up
for one of our intros to a video
with a character called Dr. Van Bad Guy.
- [Gray Shirt] We are setting up a domino maze.
Ultimately, it has to not work though,
which should be easy because I don't know how to do this.
(falling dominoes)
- So I'm playing a character,
his name is Dr. Van Bad Guy.
I need to figure out what else I can put together
to make Dr. Van Bad Guy's costume.
I feel like that's a little too iconic.
Kind of still feeling like Darth Vader.
This is weird, this is real weird.
Oh (choking).
I look like a kid wearing his dad's suit (laughs).
Evil, bad things.
Ah, the old shinguard on the arm trick.
(happy upbeat music)
Feels a little bit like one those mechanical
rodeo, or mechanical bulls.
The Martians are mad at the Venutians!
Everything is in its place!
- (laughs)
- Everything is in its place for my plan
to control the galaxy.
The Martians are mad at the Venutians,
who, in turn, hate the Earthlings,
and like dominoes, they will all
fall
down!
Uh?
- Well I made this image of a horse silhouette
on my computer,
and now I'm projecting it
so that I can trace it on this foam,
and then I'll cut it out.
(power tools cutting)
- I am getting our camera ready.
I shoot some more stills with Nina today
for our Instagram.
We got a photo list of a bunch of photos
we need to take.
Yeah, I think that's working.
I think it's workin'.
- (sings) WHAT?
- We were all thinking it was too big
when it was on the projector,
but now it's together, it's looks kinda small.
- Pretty small.
(clopping noise)
- We need some coconuts.
Horse is done.
- (neighs)
- It's not a unicorn until we put the horn on it,
so we're just going to keep calling it a horse for now.
- Whoa!
Holy cow!
Holy horse!
- You guys just built that in like an hour?
That's insane to me.
- Where's the... where's the corn?
- Should we get Jaime out here to see this?
- [Nina] I want to do a shot of the (muffled speaking).
- [Jaime] Is this the horse I'm supposed to be looking at?
- Yeah, yeah.
Neigh and what not.
- Oh!
I just saw it!
That's a lot better lookin' than...
You know, I knew it was gonna look that good...
- Wait a second Jaime!
Wait a second!
- So we have all of the supplies.
Where are we making the cotton candy?
- Studio A is off-limits.
It's almost 80 percent humidity in there,
which is like rain forest.
We originally wanted to make it in the walk-in fridge,
thinking it's a small space,
and it would be relatively dry.
- But I don't think we'll fit in there
with two cotton candy makers, two people, a dehumidifier.
- But in Studio B right now,
with the air conditioner cranked down to 60,
and the dehumidifier running,
it's about 50 to 55,
so we're not that far off.
- This is our dehumidifier,
and this is the amount of water
we've collected thus far this morning.
So there' a lot of humidity in this air.
I dropped the temperature down a little lower, too,
so it's gonna get colder.
- I am gonna make a really scary looking unicorn
out of spikes, basically,
so we can just stick the cotton candy right on.
- So it's about 50 degrees in here,
and I'm all bundled up like this.
Meanwhile...
- It's nice.
(upbeat music)
(whirring machine)
- Ahhh!
(whirring machine)
- We're making a cactus horse.
- [Jamie] Oh.
- It's not a unicorn at all.
It's a cactus horse.
- [Jamie] Oh, change of plans here.
- We've gotta completely cover this horse
with cotton candy
so we gotta make a whole bunch of it.
We're making it all at once,
we're gonna store it all in this bag,
at the last minute,
we're gonna throw it all on the horse,
and it's gonna be glorious.
- [Girl In Gray ] I feel like Santa
collecting snow for Christmas.
- [Jaime] No, it's for the horse!
- Sorry. For the horse.
- We've discovered if you just kinda open your mouth
the whole room has sugar floating in it,
and you can taste a little bit.
(upbeat music)
- Have you guys started
putting any cotton candy on it yet?
Or are you just...
- [Bear Costume] No, we're gonna do it all at once.
- We probably have less than an hour
before it all kinda starts melting and disintegrating.
- Danny looks like he's eating
more cotton candy than he's making.
- [Bear Costume] Yeah, that sounds about right.
- [Girl] Did you just eat sugar?
- No.
Yes.
(upbeat music)
(machines whirring)
Look, it's arm candy.
- Hey O! Manga! It's so good.
- I'm under attack!
It's in my eye!
- Oh you've got some eye candy!
- [Girl] Ooooh!
- You've got some eye candy!
(upbeat music)
- Sara had this awesome idea
to take the delicious pretzel ice cream cones
and spin up some cotton candy in them
and see how delicious that is.
Oh!
- [Sara] Awww!
- Sara's face is just gone
behind the clouds.
Oooh! Look at that!
- Oh! Pretzel,
cotton candy,
so good!
- [Gray Flannel] The bag seems to still be fluffy.
So...we're doin' good so far.
- I really hope it doesn't melt
before we get it all on the horse.
It's a unicorn now.
It has a horn.
Moving on to colors.
Pink.
(upbeat music)
- Red.
- Orange.
- Okay orange.
- Blue.
- Going green.
(machine whirring)
(upbeat music)
- And now for probably
the best flavor
- [Blue Shirt] No.
- And now for the absolute best flavor...
- [Sara] That's not what you say!
You say, "purple"
- The best purple.
- [Guy In Blue Shirt] Nope.
- [Sara] No.
- It's 3:30.
We've got just under two hours to get this done.
Oh yeah.
This is gonna work guys.
(upbeat music)
- [Jamie] It kinda looks like a sheep, guys.
- It's whimsical (laughs).
What are you doing?
Are you eating it?
- No!
I'm totally sticking it on the horse.
(upbeat music)
- Looking really good.
- We need more candy.
(cheerful sound)
Thank you.
- I think we should name her Morning Glory, guys.
- I'd like to name her Mystique
because she's mysterious.
- I wanna name her Unicorn of the Seabiscuit.
I want to name her Rhonda.
(upbeat music)
- My daughter's gonna think I'm the coolest dad ever.
Even more than she already does.
Every second counts.
We're trying to go as fast as we can.
The cotton candy is already starting to dissolve.
- It's time for the big reveal.
(tense music)
(sparkly noises)
- [Narrator] With batch after batch
of exotically fantastic flavors,
our line of cotton candy is
too sweet to sample only at carnival.
Savor the sweetness of dozens of delicious tastes
like virgin cocktails,
decadent desserts,
and savory favorites re-imagined
in tufts of airy awesomeness.
Take a look as we dig into the magic.
(silly music)
- What is going on?
- What is happening?
- Oh my God, what is this?
- I can just pick one?
- You gonna tell me which one to go for?
No?
- [Male Office Worker] So we're not talking any more
is what's going on here?
We're not communicating.
We just have a dancing unicorn.
Try one.
Okay, I will.
- Oh, this one's spicy.
- I'm goin' with jalapeno.
- Orange Dreamsicle.
(claps)
- The cinnamon one, yes!
- I really want that cinnamon bun.
- Oooh, very jalapeno-y.
- Oooh! That's good.
It's got a little bit of a kick.
- That's some good stuff.
- I don't know how they get the bun in there.
How do they get they bun in there?
They got the bun
and the cinnamon
and the frosting.
(hands slapping)
- Thanks.
(laughs)
- Well thanks weird unicorn dancing man.
(hands slapping)
- Orange
dreamsicle
orange
dreamsicle.
- This random scary looking priest unicorn over here.
- [Narrator] And, unlike a unicorn,
these cotton candies are easy to find
at Vat19.com along with hundreds more gifts.
- All right!
- I'm excited to go faster.
- It smells amazing.
- Open 'em.
- Open 'em?
- [Together] WOAH!
- Whoa!
- [Blue Shirt] That's huge!
- That's awesome.
That's way bigger than I thought it was going to be.
DANNNG!
I don't even wanna touch it.
- I wanna eat it.
- [Jamie] I do wanna eat it, though.
- The five-year-old me would've like died over this.
- [Jamie] Let's chow down.
- [Gray Flannel] Let's do it!
Pina colada.
- [Jamie] Let me get a little unicorn nose.
- Have some of the rainbow.
- You hoofin' bro?
- Yeah, man.
- It would behoove you to have some of that.
- Of course a unicorn tastes like cotton candy, right?
It's magical.
- Mmmm
- You'd think I'd have enough, but no.
- So hungry I could eat a ...
Yeah.
- Mmmm.
- [Sara] Sad little tail.
He's so sad now.
- We've been out here like five minutes,
and look at this,
it's already melting.
Ugggh, it does not last long.
- [Gray Flannel] Eat it!
- [Sara] Uh, it's chewy when you do that.
- That was good like that.
- So much sugar!
- This is so amazing.
- Maaaaaaaagic.
- Are we gonna eat all of it, or what?
Like how are we gonna get rid of this now?
- Well obviously cotton candy
doesn't do well in water, so...
(tense music)
- Here we go!
(water spraying)
- [Jamie] Unicorn shower.
(water spraying)
(mournful music)
(loud bang)
- [Jamie] Well, we got it.
- I don't know what's real anymore.
- It looks like challenge is completed.
The guys did a great job as always.
I'm so proud of what they were able to pull off this week.
We'll see you next time.
Bye.
- Here at Vat19 we've received
so many cool art pieces from you guys
that we've actually filled our hallways with it.
If you want an art piece
shown in a Vat19 video
send it to us.
We'd love to feature it.
Speaking of which,
let me show you what we got today.
