OK Go - This Too Shall Pass - Rube Goldberg Machine - Official Video 

Christopher Jin ....now that you mention it

Also they don't even flinch when the canon launches paintballs at their faces. That tells you a lot. Lmao.

You can see all the broken tv's too 2:40

@@ileolai Neither does your mom...

only 8! not bad considering

Good stuff brother 👊

Good luck to you and enjoy!

Same here! This video was a huge inspiration!

Also watched this in 2nd grade. It helped get me into building projects and tinkering back then. Even built a couple Rube Goldberg-esque contraptions with a team of friends several times. Cool to know others were similarly inspired :)

What! That’s super cool. Congrats on getting the bug from this video!

Y E S

Just like the pyramids in Egypt, a testament to the workers that built them,

Also, YES

Shut up, loser.

Searched for this after watching a tiktok with notes on how many takes, 30 people taking an hour to reset, even a NASA engineer

Hell yeah John. You fucking said it.

how many times do you get the builders incorporated into their chain reaction macnines ?? . . almost never . . whitch is another reason this is chain reaction so unique . . . besides being so over the top rudiculous . they realy went all out on this one

Npc

Word.

you're perfectly right john !

If that really happened, that would've been so stressful, imagine how much time that took!

"Reset. Back to one!"

@@chloelang1959 especially wasting that TV

@@baobaomeow Check out the pile of broken-screen TVs at 2:43!

Rip

What's a "tube goldberg"?

Rube* goldberg. It's basically where you have to accomplish a task with a lot of steps.

@@johnayers7935 Yes yes, I know what a Rube Goldberg machine is, an overcomplicated contraption used to complete a simple task or no task.

@@CrazyFoxx2 Do you know what a typo is or do you need someone to explain that to you as well?

@@adrian.m258 typo? I thought those were not real.

For reals! That's what I was thinking too!

It took 85 shots lol, Modern Marvel featured this song/video since it uses a rube goldberg machine

that's what happens when you're not an idiot that uses a cellphone to record everything. use a real camera.

there's a couple of cuts seamlessly sewn throughout the video

He has a bit of a cameo at 2:30. You can see his reflection in the ball.

Yesssss

this was so good to hear getting out of the movie theater, kinda got stuck in my head tho

Watching the end credits again got me emotional. I am honestly gonna miss DCEU actors like Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, as Jame Gunn is rebooting its cinematic universe.

ha just finished watching it like 5 minutes ago and immediately jumped up saying "I love this music video! let's go watch that!" visuals + music really stick to your brain

Came stright here after watching The Flash because they didn’t play the complete song. Needed that fix.

Of course you’re gonna type in lowercase letters.

Used it every time in my kinetic/potential energy chapter.

This in my music class

Twas shown in my highschool physics class... Six years ago.

@@landon7114 aà☺😝😷

Ok-go-to

What's exactly is a Rube Goldberg machine?

@@triciaramgoolam4045 It's a very large and elaborate machine that has a very simple purpose. In this video the purpose would be for the machine to shoot the paint. (Funnily enough I just learned this from one of my teachers using this video today)

@@davelabonte7806 ohh. Thanks.

Wormcake Studios Y E P!

Thats awesome x

That's exactly how it is for me I'm glad I'm not the only one who remember this from childhood

AWWW! My dad showed me too! I was 10.

End of Letterkenny S8E2 for me

Agreed! And as much as I love this video, somehow it comes across even better in the OTHER video they did for this song. Search for “ok go this too shall pass marching band”

I think it might be paraphrased from a Bible verse

tv go booom 🤪

I don't really want to... :±-_-±:

I thought it was when the MOMENT comes

Well I got the flashlight, but I forgot to put the tape in.

They did this 81 times so...

MrSnowmanJoe so not a lot then

:OOOO :O you said 81 times... there are 81 likes on this video.... OMG! No, im not gonna mess it up...

I would like this comment, but it is still at 81

They've topped this (improbably) several times. "Writing's on the Wall", "I Won't Let You Down", and "Upside Down and Inside Out" are just as spectacular, and I know I'm forgetting a few.

I agree, the music creates a good background noise while the amazing Rube Goldeberg machine goes on.

Hey. It's about time you to rediscover this.

I watched this for the 3rd time since middle school! I agree

I watched this more than 5 times in a row

I’m sorry for your loss

I mean, so did the song, as soon as the bass started to get louder and stuff, it would make sense to be correlated to the song

1:02 that’s when it started going crazy

Yeah, but aint organised chaos their trademark.

0:00.

when it got crazy for me was 3:20

I've seen you somewhere else before...

Geometry Dash Nigu Perhaps another OK GO video?

The dominos? Soo, not the piano dropping and breaking, or the broken television or the water system or the bucket pyramid or the paper planes or the marble system or the balloons or like y'know, every other part of the video? The dominos were practically the easiest part to set up

Black science guy you saw at the mall today Well,yes,the piano is expensive and stuff,but if you have to reset the TV you just stack it away and get a "new" one. Whereas with the dominos,you have to take every single one,and delicately put it back on top of say an LP,and if it falls over you've got to start again. Also,the dominos had to be set up again on EVERY take.

they only got to the end like 3 times. they put all the unreliable stuff (and probably more tedious to replace? i dunno) at the beginning.

JadenJFilms Rude Goldberg then

Rude goldberg he was very rude

Danish Qureshi | lol

Sadly there's no Nobel Prize in Logistics

JadenJFilms Brett doar

no. the toy truck is.

No he fucked up at the end

PABLO ARVELO agreed

it seemed like a belt that it was put on to get all those angles

Camera team were real stars

you obviously fell asleep in english class

Accurate

2013? Try 2010 in middle school 😂

@@justanotheryoutuber1997 to each there own

@@chandy518 hehe

ah!! me too!!

HUMANS HUMAN-ING IN HARMONY

Have you seen the other version of this song they did, with the marching band? If not, watch it. And then check out That One Moment. It transcends music video and goes into real art. I found it jaw-dropping.

i'm the same. it makes me happy people still appreciate their stuff years later.

congrats. now go listen to upside down and inside out, their new music video

wow!!!

I know how that feels, it's like the glory 👏

OMG me 2

+Maryam Mafuri Literally did a 5 second google search for "warehouse course video british rock." Was the third entry.

Lily Peelor what

@@Rat_piss r u ok

Yes im fine

@The Impostor ha

yes it was what els wuld it be

Yup! JUST WOW

This was made 6 years ago? wow, i could've never been able to tell

7 :d

Peter Konrad Konneker now 7

Agree!

Same but its a folder full of chemistry experiments and this video also

@@mariestidola3573 kindred spirits!

Teared up quite a bit, since my Dad just passed away a few months ago. I'm so glad you have such a sweet memory with your Dad. Keep building your memories with him.

wow same story here!

Dear god this is so sweet

12 years later and my phone still doesn't have as much storage space as the iPod at the start of the video.

Apologies, Emma B but the best thing ever is sliced bread 🤣😂😅

I still remember watching this in 6th grade. That was 10 years ago. Good lord and this video has only aged like fine wine.

I always wondered how long it took to make this video. It probably took about 100 tries to get it right. Kind of like that Honda Accord commercial.

@@okjeffy6581 In an interview they say it took over a hundred takes, and getting certain parts to work with the music was the hardest part. There was one segment that only worked once and it represents the only edit in the video.

at the very end during the part with the paint cannon, one of them just barely puts his goggles on in time

I like how Tim flinches as the bowling ball goes past him down the spiral track at 3:10 - makes you wonder if it came off in another take.

+randman They did over 80 tries before they got it all right.

fun fact: if you look at the behind the scenes they had to do 80+ takes.

+randman I would have been asking: what would have happened if the camera operator tripped over something and the other contraptions started with a 5 second gap between them!

i love you thank you

Sounds like someone's been doing their homework.

Me looking at this while in summer break: hmm, interesting

Thank you so much :D

You just saved a life bud

Nah. That's the State Farm Ins marketing dept.

Yes! Also, the paint already on the guys...

ahhhhhhh yes

Too bad they're broken. There are some I would have taken!

That must’ve been a pain to put up again

looks like that was about the 8th take and they could've tried twice more.

agreed

Except they aren't different. They have only one thing in common. They all blow your mind. XD

like driving a giant guitar playing chevy

Funny thing they didn't make it. They got a person.

They never skimp out on the music, either. It's awesome.

Hunter Huang | squared

how many times did they fail before getting to the tv part though, thats the real question

Hunter Huang it's amazing that how thay try it so many time.

Doesn't sound like much on the surface, but think about it, that would be awful. Yuck.

Hunter Huang and the amount of paint already on them

Chau Jack same, but more like 2nd or 3rd grade lol

ReynaPixyRosa Chihuahua literally same!! are we long lost classmate? lol

lol

海鷗 whaaaaaaaaaat

Seriously, who invented lens cap??

Aaaaaand we broke another TV

I've been going through a very rough patch at my work and this was a lifesaver for me last night.

It is a good message about what to do in social distancing and stuff, except for the fact that this was made in 2010.

@@psychedelictembo8662 Shut the fuck up

@@otis1216 ok 13 year old. Keep on playing fortnight.

Unless it doesn't. In which case good luck to you good sir.

This song makes me feel better about everything. I'm scared about how long the pandemic will last and I keep forgetting that however long it is, it won't be forever.

Yeah (from Brazil)

Not yet... It's been 4 months goddammitt

Sooo, this virus will never be extinct, it will mutate out of vaccines reach ever so often, and vaccines are generally too expencive for alarmingly many. All countries will do what it takes so not more than a set percentage of important workforce are infected at once, just like now. The ways they keep this under control will change as time goes on, most likely eased up but never back to normal. So no, this pandemic will not pass.

Oh god that would be terrible DX

Not 2 be a pooper or anything but remember he started recording before the guy pushed the truck so nothing would have happened, the worst was that a couple of dominos fell down ;-)

Yup...and stuff like that happens all the time unfortunately. But especially would suck for this. I can't even imagine

Marc Weiner no way

CheesyTaco21 I'm pretty sure they filmed this at least eight times before getting it right. Look at the pile of TVs in the corner. It wouldn't make sense to use a new one each time for practice runs. I can't even wrap my mind around how much work this must have been.

ericx2151 stfu

ericx2151 wtf

Harrie Loll Well now I’m inspired to check out more of their stuff.

watch all the music videos from this band. every single one of them is wonderful and surprising on different ways

I wonder how the song would go without music.
