The Egg Drop with LoadingReadyRun 

Serge & Wheeler's technique is how space agencies land manned spacecraft. Beej and Ian's technique is how they land _unmanned_ spacecraft.

There goes the tarp budget

Beef in a portable case with a handle - it's no longer a briefcase, it's a *BEEFCASE.*

I did not expect Ian & Beej's egg to survive even the first round.

Kathleen's reaction to the balloons is such a mom thing. "Yes my previous child, you are doing very well."

The way Ian says “Interior, uh, shock-absorbing material” and the sound of the meat hitting the table right after makes me laugh so hard 😂😂😂

If you remove the bones from meat you get *softer hands*

6:10 the moment when the two teams encounter each other at the dollar store gets me every time

Serge and wheeler actually trying to take part in the competition, Beej and Ian just trying to invent a new recipe.

Ben Wheeler is fire on camera. I Hope to see him in More LRR content such as TTC and as Judge on PPRs.

Graham in the car with the balloons was just gold.

Uploading pre-recorded LRL segments separately to this channel works really well.

This is, by far, my top favorite LRL segment you guys have ever done and edited together, just pure comedy beginning to end.

Making the fall slower is such a simple idea that never crossed my mind. It almost feels like cheating.

Wheeler is a delight to watch, I hope we see more of him.

The hard stop on any music, whenever the lunch box *hits* just really sells the bit

So beej and Ian’s Plan is to make a scotch egg? Edit: oh god never mind

My God... An open Toys R Us. So beautiful...

This has become my favorite comfort video. If I’m ever feeling down or just need some sense of nice familiarity, I always come back to this one. Y’all are fantastic 💙

Serge: "IS THAT RAW MEAT??" lmao

I would love to see a sequel to this! More drops, more "science", more LRRsmen PLEASE.

The egg in mince in a lunchbox, sounds like disaster. Ben and Serj are just like, gentle egg baby, fall softly. Beej and Ian are like, we drop metal box, thunk! Can we get more teams to do this? This was fun!

The spirit of Scrapheap Challenge is alive and well here. This concept must not stop at one episode.

I really didnt expect the beef box to survive a single drop, although my lack of faith were in the box-size looking too large for the amount of packing material (err, I mean meat). Looked to me like it would jostle too much and have too much empty space alowing for the meat to move out of the way when the egg tries to hit the box. Did however not expect the main point of failure be the structural integrity, but in hindsight I figure that is somewhat obvious it would fall apart.

I really wish we could have "If we take the bones out of meat we get softer hands" on a shirt.

I wanted to see a bale of straw. but I will admit a lunchbox full of meat made for good television.

With Ben's proficiency at breaking eggs for the win, I'm amazed they did so well.

this is the first LRR video i'd ever seen so i'd like to thank the youtube algorithm for giving me hours of good content

Loving this IRL stuff (axe throwing, deck challenge, etc) I really hope it keeps coming this is good content

I can't believe it took me this long to get it but Ian is the mad scientist of the group isn't he?

I went with gelatin in grade-school. It did not go well. Weight matters, amazingly.

Haha, oh god, I love how instantly horrified *everyone* else is by Serge and Wheeler's plan

"I am so horrified that it continues to work." Ah, the feeling of most database managers.

This is so beyond amazing. Love it - thanks for the incredible laughs, guys!

Love these videos - you guys are truly eggsperts at your craft.

This immediately shot up to become one of my all time favorite Live bits you've ever done.

Please do stuff like this more, very entertaining

Omg. How do yall make an egg drop so wholesome and so entertaining at the same time. Yall are adorable. And I remember my egg drop. I put an egg and taped it to inside a box. It shouldn't have survived but it did and shocked everyone including me.

Plastic drinking straws, make a tetrahedron that encases with them but has the ends too long, in a manner where there's three straws sticking out of each vertex. It sends the motion tangent to the the egg. Boom, plastic straws are free at fast food places.

I love how wheeler and surge are just trying to figure out how to exploit the rules of the challenge as fast as possible

This is great, I'd love to see another iteration of it with other LRR members

It think my favourite comedic touch is the hard music cut when impact happens, it sells the pratfall aspect super hard. Amazing job on the editing, whoever made that call, and great creativity for the contestants.

dont have time right now to keep up on lrl, so i wouldnt have seen it otherwise. Thanks for uploading! That was some really good stuff!

I would love to see more content like this. This video was fantastic.

"The spirit of the challenge is to win. Hello yes I am Wheeler"

This remains one of my all-time favorite LoadingReadyRun bits.

I need more of this. This kind of video was amazing and i want more

This is it! You did it, boys! The best content on youtube.

this is the quality material i subscribe for

The power of boneless hands.

The world need more videos/tests like that (from you) ! :D

I was really kind of hoping that eventually we would just see Wheeler and Serge's egg just fly away, off into the ether.

Please do more wacky stuff like this, this was a pleasure to watch

This was brilliant. Well done.

I can not stop laughing. Serge/Ben's one will land slowly and then just THUNK

Yeah, Serge and Wheeler picked the best strategy of limiting the egg's terminal velocity to a non-lethal amount. Beej and Ian's idea of cushioning the fall is not alltogether bad, but it's way harder to find a material that has the right k constant to slow down the egg enough that it doesn't impact the floor that hard while not being so rigid that it itself shatters the egg

This was so much better than I anticipated

This is exactly the task for wheeler the egg lord

MEAT MEAT MEAT MEAT

I just used scotch tape for mine. Laid tape out with balls of tape on it every few inches and wrapped that around the egg till it was roughly the size of a soccer ball, then made a 3ft by 3ft basket weave of scotch tape and scotch taped that to the ball. Worked like a dream.

This could stand to be an annual event honestly, I'm curious to see how Team Seeler would fare against teams with a few years more experience.

Dollar store scrapheap challenge? This is a format I hope to see more of.

The driving montage reminds me of Road Quest. Come soon, friend. We’re waiting patiently.

I fail to see why just using obscene amounts of bubble wrap is not the solution here

You should've had more than one lunch tin. Even the best vessels have a useful lifespan.

gotta do more of these, really fun and new

"The spirit of the challenge is to win" Wheeler in a nutshell

Ian is such a special person.

Carried by the power of whimsy! Flawless design

Eggcellent indeed. This was so funny! Thank you.

This was absolutely golden omg

I need more LRR Mad Science in my life.

I love such goofy of the wall stuff like this or axe throwing.

watching beej and ian throw meat and eggs in a colourful lunchbox off a building is something i would never have thought to want but made me laugh so hard my throat and stomach hurt

This was an eggscellent episode, I lost it at the end when the egg almost hit the bedding. I could make more puns but I will let someone else take a CRACK at it :D

Ian's plan for using meat to cushion the egg was part insanity and part genius.

Over a year later still funny!

I like this new daily drop.

That was insanely entertaining!

I kind of wanted egg jello to be a contender.

Meat AND Eggs. WE EAT!

This was so delightfully stupid. I loved it. Please do more of these! Egg drop 2020?

this was just great!

I'm surprised Paul wasn't in on this...or would he be too OP?

So what I'm seeing is that Ian and Beej are trying to breed a superstrain of salmonella.

Needs more William Osman.

I am confident that you could drop Sergheelers egg defending solution from almost any height and it would survive.

This is amazing content

Interesting challenge. I remember someone did a documentary about something to do with technologies related to g-forces, and they dropped a lightbulb from a high altitude balloon in a container. The bulb survived in working condition. Apparently the container was inspired by the bone structure of a woodpecker's skull, which has to cushion it's brain against ramming it's beak into trees at high speed. The solution was something akin to getting a moderadely soft outer layer (something akin to a dense rubber), a hard middle layer, then filling the interior with soft loose fill padding. (something like cotton wool.) I'm sure the exact design that allowed a lightbulb to survive a drop from 100,000 feet or so was a little more carefully designed than that, but this was roughly the model. It certainly made me think about how you'd construct a drop-proof container... It's a hard but flexible layer, soft padding, a hard layer and some soft filling material. Yeah, here it is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XZlp3SVEMDg.html XD quite something huh. Lightbulb from 100,000 feet, and it survives. Also Ian and Beej's idea is along similar lines... So, there is that. (though it doesn't go all the way with it so likely doesn't work quite as well.)

An egg-cellent video. ... I'll get my coat.

Imagine if we combine the two technologies?

Anyone else disappointed Kathleen didn't say something like "you guys remembered my birthday!" when she noticed the balloons?

serge is such an adorable child

In middle school we did this and I just put the egg in a jar of peanut butter, and it survived.

Honestly, once I saw how crinkled the lunchbox became after first landing I started to genuinely believe in beej and ian's technique

I was worried at one point the two teams would end up with similar solutions. I underestimated them!

So can we get an Ian & Beej Mythbusters series they do remind me of Jaime and Adam. I think it would be great.

THE STRONGEST BEEF

Ben and surge are a great team

I laughed so hard I almost puked. A+ content.
