- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.
We're the Slow Mo Guys,
and welcome to the loudest week of "The Super Slow Show."
Looking forward to this!
- Dan's cup of tea. - Love blowing stuff up.
Using explosives or should I say exslowsives.
- There it is. - Yeah.
We're gonna be blowing up a sandcastle,
annihilating a house, exploding some fruit.
Whoa!
That was a shock wave.
That was-- nailed it.
- That was quite good. - Well done.
( music playing )
Welcome to "The Super Slow Show."
And you've joined us in our ongoing war against fruit.
Yeah, particular favorite watermelon,
but I do like blowing fruit up for sure.
It just fragments so nicely.
Like the one we did on the table.
- Yeah. - That hit you in the face.
Not gonna stand next to it this time.
Today we've got it on the spin rig.
We'll get the camera moving rapidly around it,
a thousand frames a second.
And then maybe we'll throw some more fruit in.
Dan:
Upscale the fruit, upscale the bang.
Let's get to safety.
Quick.
- Okay, here we go. - Good-bye, melon.
Three, two, one, bang!
- Oh, that's good! - Whoa!
- Yeah, look at that. - There!
And it finally landed. That was ages.
I like it even though I've seen the melon blow up countless times.
I'm always excited to watch it.
Always have to go and find a piece to eat as well.
I don't think there's much left of that one.
- Yeah. - We sort of misted the inside.
- Got eviscerated. - Now we go and watch it.
Yeah.
Gav:
It just doesn't know what's about to happen to it.
Dan:
probably gonna be chewed up and eaten and all that.
Maybe like a family of, you know, nice husband and wife,
- three kids. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- They'll tuck into the-- - Wait a second.
( both laugh )
Dan:
Gav:
-
Dan:
Gav:
Dan:
that can't be that small amount of watermelon.
As in it just completely misted it.
-
- Dan:
Cool particles, though.
I feel like that amount
of explosives could blow a hole in a lot of fruit.
What do you think next, 'nanas?
- For sure. Yeah. - Bananas?
- Dan:
I'm hoping there's enough of a chunk
- that I can eat some. - I'm gonna blow 'em up.
So here you go. All right, ready?
- Yeah. - Three, two, one.
Dan:
Instant banana split.
Gav:
I'd have a cup or something.
Dan:
Oh, there some banana hit the screen there.
Yeah, look at that.
Oh, that does look rather unappealing.
-
Dan:
How much to eat this?
I bet this little bit here is sort of edible.
It has a bit sand in it.
( laughs ) Oh, man!
- Well? - It's fine.
- Just tastes like a 'nana. - Oh yeah?
- Yeah. - How 'bout this piece?
- Might give that one a miss. - Yeah?
All right, let's have a look at the rest of it, shall we?
So what I've noticed is that
it's landed pretty evenly everywhere.
I'm thinking we load it up with all the fruit we can get
and then you and I both take a bowl,
place them strategically,
and whoever catches the most fruit wins.
- Think that's a good idea. Yeah. - Yeah?
So we just need an absolute pyramid of fruit here.
- Yeah. All the fruit we can get. - All right.
For sure.
Is it weird that this is one of the bowls
it just reminds me of one of the ones
you used to puke in as a kid when you're ill.
- I never puked in one of these. - No?
- No. Weirdo. - I did.
- All right. - All right, time for the final piece of fruit.
- This apple is massive, by the way. - It's huge.
Yeah, it's like a genetically modified apple.
- Careful. - Careful.
- Careful. - Perfect.
- Quite a place. - I'm feeling good about...
right here.
- Yeah, I'll go here. - All right.
- Here's good. - Interesting choice.
Do you think any fruit will be left on there?
No. I can't--
Do you think this is the most exciting fruit salad ever?
It looks so delicious.
Can't wait to blow it up.
Ready?
Three, two, one, boom!
Both: Oh!
Yes!
I'm not being funny, I saw some of that disappear
- into the distance like in the mountains. - Man!
Maybe someone hiking down there just like... boop.
Just walking along, just like...
Yeah, thanks for that.
Oh, that smell. Can you smell that?
( sniffs )
( laughs )
I'm not gonna look in my bowl yet. You go stand by yours.
- Okay. - All right.
( laughs )
How much you got?
I just got some seeds.
( both laugh )
- I think I might have one. - Laughable.
I think I might have one.
- Brown smear. - I've got at least a small piece
of banana.
Check it out. There's actually a tiny piece there.
Oh, he wins!
He's got like a piece of apple or something.
Look at that.
You've got some sort of like slime.
- Wouldn't eat either of them to be honest. - Uh, not-- no.
Gav:
-
Dan:
-
just got turned to dust, just mush
and then a whole pineapple flying though.
-
Caked the lens with fruit.
I wonder what the top down looked like.
'Cause-- oh, yeah that's wicked.
- Yeah, let's have a look at the top down. - Yeah.
-
Gav:
Dan:
-
( sighs )
We just did the experiment again off camera
and this is all the fruit we caught this time.
Look, there's fruit that wasn't even in the pile.
Yeah.
- We're very convincing. - Yeah.
Well, I thought those shots looked amazing.
It's always nice to send pieces of fruit to the moon.
If you happen to live on the moon, you can just keep it.
We don't want it back.
Thank you very much for watching that video
and we will see you next time on "The Super Slow Show."
All I just did there was eat fruit while you did the outro.
- A bit one-sided, that was. - Yeah.
( music playing )
Hello, again! We're gonna break stuff.
- A lot of stuff. - Maybe even a limb or two.
Why did it have to be my limb?
Unfortunate. It's unfortunate.
