When I saw the thumbnail I was expecting this to be at least 15 years old. The fact that it is only 2 years old brings me such joy. That dispite it all people are still having fun making silly videos and putting them on the internet
They make different sizes for a reason. Some men have to buy condoms online from foreign countries because the US doesn't have condoms big enough. If your a male and average sized, try using the smallest size condom you can and see how well it works
I'm familiar with this feeling, but I do the inverse, I usually try to remove all the air from a soda bottle when I am done with it, and it's hard towards the end, as you gotta fight the air from going through your nose, it feels real weird
Asked my dad if he wanted to see a guy play the Mario Brother's theme song on a trumpet into a condom. He saw it and said "wow, dunno what I expected."
Sure, we’re all admiring the strength of the condom, but let’s admire the strength of this guys lungs, still not only holding, but also playing the theme coherently
@@CRHDOMediaNetworkI’m not sure whether to make accommodations and cut you some slack for your sheer stupidity or just laugh at you for the entire rest of my day
The notes slowly becoming worse just adds to the comedy of the condom getting bigger. As a trombone player, I know the struggle of playing with something blocking the horn, and could only imagine it being a condom
@@redneck826 I’m truly sorry. For as much as I wish to fulfill the prophecy, I have no idea where I would get a condom from. But I will assure you this; one day. One day I will buy a condom, stretch it over my trombone, and have the bone blow into the condom. I will hold this promise to my grave.
@@dave2.077 well I don't know about that, man, I remember the commercials in my country back in the 2000s, and they used to be just like that. It would've fit right in. A guy playing a trombone with a rubber on for 2:30 minutes and the company logo just appearing at the very end would be very memorable and memeable, which is the goal of a commercial.
this video is perfect - the random idea behind this experiment, the fact that the notes are not even correct and it getting progressively more and more wrong - love it
i don’t care if the notes are wrong. i care that i now know that this is possible. edit: i’m aware that he’s in a different key, i just noticed how some notes were missed probably due to the lack of air flow through the trumpet. then again it doesn’t matter that they’re wrong. this is a masterpiece.
@@pseudonymos_ 😂 that’d be why it was so airy I thought it was a Cornett when I first saw it my bad, but definitely would agree it’s much softer like if you listen to hypnotic brass the flugelhorn is the perfect instrument for the intro of war, a trumpet would’ve been overpowering
Hey, I'm indeed self taught, and I started with the tuba about a two year before this video was taken. This was more or less my first hands on a flugelhorn/trumpet 😅
Yeah, I thought this was gonna be totally stupid but when we got about half-way through and I could see and hear that struggle but he kept going anyways, I began to respect 👍
I'm a little bit surprised the condom gave up so easily - here's a tip from your Uncle Stickie: Condoms get a lot more stretchy if you soak them in a pan of (kinda) hot water for about fifteen minutes beforehand. My buddies and I got one over a public *_phone box_* once.
Watching this guy show off unnecessarily has kept my respect for trumpet players right where it was. Impressive? Yes. Hilarious? Definitely. Exactly the sort of pointless nonsense I would expect from a trumpet player? Also yes.
Trojan should sponsor him. “No matter how hard you blow, they won’t break.” Edit: it always amazes me how I forget about some of my comments, and then come back to them a month(s) later to see that a few people share my sense of humor.
not true. there’s a reason people were banned from going in practice rooms as couples during the school day back when i was in high school. they weren’t just practicing music, or only blowing on instruments, if you catch my drift.
Do y'all remember the post about the Fuck Couch in that one band room? That had to be THROWN AWAY because of their band kids being NASTY??? BECAUSE I REMEMBER.
This is an actual exercise that advanced trumpeteers must learn how to master. It hones their most important skills such as breath control and embouchure strength.
@Placeholdier As the.....ahem...balloon...gets more pressure, it pushes air back into you. You have to fight more to get air and sound out. The increased pressure would presumably strain your lips, and it would be harder to maintain the correct lip tension for the correct notes. You can play different notes on brass instruments depending on how tight the lips are. A tighter lip creates a smaller hole and a higher pitched note.
honestly not enough people are talking about the amount of high notes that came out supper clean edit: i will not be changing to typo because i’m petty
I don't think enough folks are appreciating the fact that there's nothing preventing the air from going back through the trumpet, so the fact that it didn't deflate means he kept up a positive pressure on his end the entire time. He never took the trumpet off of his mouth to breathe (using 'circular breathing'), and as he went on there was increasing back pressure which he had to overcome. Kudos.
It's not circular breathing, I just breathed through my nose while holding the air with my mouth. But indeed the air kept pushing, and this was easily the fourth or fifth take, all the previous ones ended up by me getting blown by my trumpet.
@@Vanished_but Congratulations. You just found the only way to make sentence “Super Mario Bros. Condom Trumpet” any weirder. “Super Mario Bros. Condom Flugelhorn”.
I've always heard something like "if people can stretch condoms over their head, you got no excuse because the head you are putting it on is nowhere near as big as the head they putting it on." (And most women I've had tell me the guy used that excuse said the guys would also say magnums were also so tight they were uncomfortable. Then when they found out the guys true size he was alnost always about average size and the magnum would have been so loose it would have slid off him and he was just lying and hoping the woman blindly agreed not to use a condom.)
That must be some workout on the lungs, but the best moment is definitely when he laughs as it pops off. I could not avoid spontaneously applauding for his awesome entertainment and joy!
Lot of people don't realise how damn hard it is to play high notes on the trumpet. With all the back pressure he would have been pushing against I'm very impressed
Backpressure can be helpful with playing up high. This is why a shallower mouthpiece with a tighter backbore is useful for playing up high. But yeah, playing against the backpressure from that condom was definitely not easy.
you are correct about the lungs tho. hes doing pretty decent for how hard it must be to overinflate a balloon with a brass instrument bug god his hands
The progression of him leaning further back, condom getting bigger, and intonation getting worse as the pressure built up had me laughing way more than I expected to.
"I need a pack of XXL" "She's happy..." "It's for my trumpet" "I... don't know what combination you have in mind but I hope it's not the same as my mind"
I got say this is mad impressive. I've played trumpet for 7 years and it makes a huge difference in having the back pressure from that. Everyone's laughing how comedic it is how the notes get worse the further along this goes but it's because the trumpet is becoming harder to play as air wants to go backwards back through the trumpet! Huge props!
Yeah, I felt like I was lacking oxygen the more that condom was inflated, he has to make the effort to maintain the air that he already blew in while trying to get more from his nose without separating his mouth from the trumpet 😰
@@bc4065 it's not really dangerous, just that if the air were to go backwards through the trumpet it smells and tastes disgusting. Don't ask how I know... But yes it takes a lot of diaphragm strength.
Suenan mal porque el condon esta haciendo que el aire presione la trompeta en sentido contrario, el tipo de la trompeta tiene que hacer cada vez mas fuerza para soplar, lo que hace que obviamente las notas se desafinen.
