This guy explains things more clearly than my teacher...

thats why my teacher is using his videos to teach us

yeah

@normal guy lol c

well is your teacher a nasa engineer

Cause it’s a script

At the PNE in Vancouver, I won one of the huge prizes at one of their "impossible" games. They had a weighted baseball that flew like a knuckleball, and you had to break plexiglass bottles. I didn't tell them before hand I was a pitcher who threw an amazing knuckleball. Needless to say after I missed my first throw and realized the pattern, things didn't go the way the carnie expected. I still have my 6 foot tall penguin to this day.

@Patrick Jones Well, if you take his, you won't exactly own it...

Is "penguin" a euphemism?

I went to the PNE at vancouver and they just took all my money like that 😢

Oooooo, you beat a carnie------your claim to fame in life 🙄

Love that for you.

Lol your wife’s reaction was great! Thanks for explaining this so thoroughly. I knew they were scams but this tells exactly why.

yes

I do laugh out loud a lot and her response made me laugh for like 10 mins 😂😂😂

Very seldom do I *really* laugh out loud, but that was one of them!

This guy explains things better than a "trained" teacher in less than 10 minutes. Some of my teachers don't even get to explain something like that in a 1 hour lesson.

@Z7Games This guy is probably smarter than most, if not all of your teachers until college, and then at least a couple of those, too.

@Z7Games Some do

Being likeable and charismatic helps. We all had to try to learn things from people who had neither of these qualities.

He was a NASA Engineer for 7 years...

This is all about psychology. He explains something people are interested in and doesn't need foundation or practice to grasp the concept

Another thing I noticed that you didn’t see/mention: the standard three point shot that most people are used to is a high school distance. That is measured at 19 ft 9 inches. The NBA three point is 23 ft 9 inches. So having a carnival shot at 28 ft is approaching half court. It’s VERY difficult for most people to make. Just something I noticed. Great vid!

Having the speed gun under clocked isn't "borderline fraudulent". It's straight up fraudulent and hopefully they get sued over it

@Matthew Miller Speed guns come with a set of tuning forks to calibrate, they do not need to be sent anywhere for the process to be completed.

@Lonks Lonkolious The rides are always the best part! I don't know if they over charge those but if they do it's well worth it anyways. I used to brag all the time when I was little about riding all the rides in one day, there was a surprising amount and most kids my age were scared to death of riding them.

People tried and court rule in favor of the carnival so it's not illegal as long as you make money

@M Patrick lmao you're just mad that younger people don't want to feel scammed

Yeah That one was just straight up fraud and someone that regulates such things should be investigating that booth and fining someone.

It's heartbreaking to know that most things you enjoyed as a kid were meant to trick you and manipulate you

Preparation for adult life.

@Lesko Brandon unfortunately yes, I must have missed the memo

Welcome to life. You must be new here.

What like Santa, The Tooth Fairy & The Easter Bunny?

Mark, you are hilarious, full of science, a great entertainer, and maybe the best science YouTuber around. Except maybe Physics Girl. She's not hilarious but she does Great Physics! Thank you, Mark. Bring back the squirrels!

You're wife's reaction was priceless! Make sure you keep that clip available the next time the carnival comes to town. 😉

Theres a great affair that you can share- when the Fair comes to YOUR TOWN!!

*your

Important to keep in mind the reason the prizes are so cheap for them is cause they buy in large volumes. If you were to just buy one it would cost you a lot more.

This guy should straight up teach physics for all the poor hs kids who are stuck at home getting a terrible online education rn. He’s definitely better than the physics teacher I had

Didnt understand physics at all and watching him im just like woah didnt know that

He did dat

He actually was coming out with videos titled science class during this COVID

cl2239 your right

ya I can imagine the great lessons I'd come up with if I produced one 11 min lesson a month and had proper funding

mark rober is one of those people who if they were asked, "whats 1 + 1", he would explain the whole standard mathamatical system. Dont take this as an insult, love ur vids

The key to ring toss is to throw two rings stacked on one another. The first ring hits the bottle and then hits the second ring stacked on top and the first ring will stay on the bottle. This is why the rules state "you can only throw one ring at a time"

Don't you think if you had some major spin on your ring that it would be more likely to stay on? Because physix? Just a theory. Greater friction and maybe some kind of torque.

I enjoy how you explain things so clearly and intelligently. Thank you.

i did the rope ladder with ease, not because i kept stable all throughout it, i just held on when i flipped and climbed to the top being upside down

@BubblesAndFishing so true

@Strawberri •.• rules differ at each one but in general it's not allowed

@Strawberri •.• not on this one though

Thats what i thought lol why can u just climb upside down

@Robert Gordon if its illegal but you dont get caught its not illegal

I worked at an amusement park. One day there was a terrible earthquake. The entire park was leveled to the ground. The only thing left standing were those milk bottles.

@James B 15k

Bruh

I heard that in some carnivals they are a bit glued on to the table

gorl-

that’s tragically hilarious

I’ve seen a guy walk up the ladder standing on two legs (we thought he was David Blaine) so what this guy says about thinking of it as a tightrope really checks out.

I've seen the same thing. A friend's dad who was a Marine. It was like he was merely walking up a flight of stairs.

An interesting different take on scams. I've always wondered why these games were so difficult.

@Daniel Combs ???

I suppose you would like a participation trophy. 😆

You are amazing at explaining things. Even words I didn’t know I felt like with your sentence structure I didn’t have to rewind to understand something. 👌

As someone who goes to boardwalk regularly, it was nice knowing I’ve been to the same places as mark.

He taught me more in 11 minutes than my science teacher did in 10 months

@Desiree Chavez well aren’t you lucky

Gary Oak you must not understand how a joke works

BigboyChungus true

So really we have a whole bunch of people who can't understand when a person is being sarcastic. One more time everyone Bigboy Chungus was making a joke here!!!!!

@Amitaliri adsense?

I took a ridiculous amount of vicarious pleasure in watching him absolutely CRUSH those throwing games. ⚾💖

I have literally learned more than what I have learned in school(7 years) and I've only been watching you for 2 years lol

I love these videos of yours, and this ending was hilarious 🤣❤️

One line from that article about the guy who lost all his money on games stood out to me, considering the serious tone of the article: "Gribbohm, who managed to win a stuffed banana with dreadlocks before dropping $2,600....."

I have learned more science from mark in this one video than my whole school career

School shoud be ban

My science teacher uses his videos

Same

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Same

Idk how many times I've watched this but this video managed to entertain me every single time

i literally learned how center of mass works while watching this when it came out this man’s explanations are so simple

I understood more physics concepts from this video than I did 4 years in college

I actually won the basketball one in my third shot and first try! I was so happy and bragged a bit just because i already knew most of these are just scams 🤣

Mark rober: Any professional athlete that's amazing in one sport is really good at any other sport Me: laughs in chess

@Alexander Hoffman I dare you to say that in Klingon!

@ianboekwegLIVE That wasn't the joke, though. You wrote "athlete", and chess players aren't athletes.

That's not a professional sport...

That awkward moment when you wanna fit in with the nerds but all your chess stories happened in jail... :/

@Jack Norton So is synchronized swimming.

It's so weird for me calling that a relatively small park when that's the size of the largest amusement park in my country 😐

This has taught me a lot not just about the carnival but about myself 😂

Awesome! I always knew they could rip you off. You should do a video about claw machines and arcades. Im pretty lucky with those but it would be cool to see.

9:41 that kid's expression was priceless! 😂

Your videos are awesome and so thorough!

the idea of going to a carnival with literally an MLB pitcher is just priceless.

When I was like 5, my brother was trying as hard as he could to win the ring toss. He spent like 10 dollars and one nothing. Then I asked my parents if could try threw one ring and won the big pride which was a full sized blue guitar

Classic brother move

Interestingly, out of the 3 near impossible games, I've either been really lucky or know a secret to the ring bottle toss that allows me to win every time in less than 30 tries: Most people throw the rings like a frisbee which allow the gyroscopic effect needed to keep the ring level and flat to maintain the area needed to fit around the top of the bottle. But, in order to maintain the accuracy needed to make it fall around the top of the bottle, one needs a toss that combines the gyroscopic effect while taking advantage of the angle of approach in order to maximize their probability. This requires a toss where the focus of momentum is not geared towards the forward motion needed to reach the bottle, but rather one centered on moving upwards at a higher angle so that the predictability of where it falls is how you aim rather than trying to throw it forward and aiming where it lands in relation to the bottle top.

Mark: The ladder climb is near impossible Phat Gus: ...hold my walnut

@mollie it changes back in the second one

@Alexander Craig she was renamed back to phat gus! :D

@mollie Nah, they Totally “Consented” to being called Phat Gus again 😆

to be fair he basically flew across the ladder

our local carnival has ellipsoid basketball hoops, impossible to tell from the usual throwing spot. They’re so narrow in that dimension that you basically have to hit the hoop perfectly from directly above, so a very high throw!

Mark has been under police protection since the release of this video, and has had to file a restraining order against 10 different clowns.

A great video supported by an amazing hilarious ending!!! "Why?" 😂 Priceless. 😀

As a winning strategy for that rope bridge, I'd say hug the bridge while trying your best to keep your center of balance in that line and if you fail, just make sure your legs are also holoding on to the steps I'd say.

The ladder climb is one of the only carnival games I ever won when it flipped near the end I just hung on and crawled upside down without touching the ground

So true! Why do people even fall just hold on!

I was thinking about that xd

Atta boy

i cant

I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to do that

I love how your friend matt cleaned out the games :)

The last scene is amazing! Great job!

I love this channel , great videos keep up the great work...

For the ladder you, can spin but not fall. Basically you have to climb up it upside down 😂

At a Carnival I once saw an old man in a wheelchair at a shooting booth where you shoot with BBs. He somehow had problems to reload and handle the rifle but he had perfect aim. Ten shots and ten hits. Even the booth owner was a bit surprised. And so this guy rolled away with a teddy bear. I imagine him as a retired sniper and he just wasnt used to BB guns.

"I learnt that from N'am"

@Qazi Sayeb the decriptions match up with him and how would he know that im his randson i was just standing next to him playing on another booth

@Afrojox Forrest Gump?

@Qazi Sayeb how would he know im his grandson

@Qazi Sayeb dude i litterally came with him i was playing it to

Can we just appreciate how Genius is Mark Rober.

I always manage to get up on those ladders, I just lay down on them and drag myself up. Works every time

I laughed so hard at the end when he bought her a stuffed animal and she asked... "why?"

I went to Santa Cruz a few weeks ago, and my sister actually did the ladder climb! I asked her how, and she said she watched your channel 🥹

Mark: This is a relatively small theme park Me: That's bigger than any theme park I've seen.

We don't even have a theme park T-T

Its the boardwalk in Santa Cruz if you wanted to know :)

Tivian Engel nice

In the Netherlands we have the cheapest carnival €0.50 for one ride

Bigger than any theme park around me...there's none where I live haha

I've worked at a swimming pool that had one of those rope ladders crossing the water with two mounting points fire the ladder. I crossed by keeping my entire body on the ladder, keeping my center of mass low and moving slowly. It wasn't easy, but I did it. A year prior, I learned from someone how to cross a single rope by keeping center of mass below the rope (rope from collarbone to groin to ankle with knees and elbows below the rope).

It’d be great if Andrew Applepie put out a full version of his ‘carnival song’!

last 5 seconds is comedy gold. so funny reaction of your wife with great setup ofc.

Even though they are scams. Its just the fun you are paying for x) love it

Like the casino

I never thought anybody could explain science to me and that I’d understand perfectly.

That's true . He makes science so fun .

Teachers make sure of that. Lol!

ye

Ikr

XD

Winning carnival games is less about you getting stuff and more about an achievement. Being able to say, "I did that".

I shot out the star, slowly cutting out a circle. After 3 guys inspected my paper one yelled "we got a Rambo here!" and all the men lined up to try their hand at it. Got a giant stuffed Vulture holding a heart. It was a massive victory!

I completed the "impossible" ladder thing at skyzone Also I hope you got permission to do this

Mark always has the coolest music for the job

My son was actually able to get up that ladder when he was 5 and he still has the huge bear that he won for it and still sleeps with it (he’s 7 now).

Aww~

wooooow!

@Ciantrex mhm

Here take 👑 for your son he is a king

Lucky

He explained that in 10 minutes that a trained perfesional teacher wouldn’t have done it in a year

I wonder how he teaches me more than teachers in my whole life

She replies: Why? 🤣 Well Mark I bought my sweetie her first ever teddy bear well my sweetie only stands 5 ft I bought her the biggest white teddy bear I could find just happened to be also 5 foot, she walked around with it teary-eyed for days.🥰 I still get random photos with her sitting with this bear in her lap with big hugs 🤗

Imagine being Matt's girlfriend/wife and getting loaded with prizes every time you went to a carnival together.

i won the “tight rope” game at great America and they had to take a picture of me so I couldn’t win until a month later lol

@Joe's Mama They already do 😉

RIP Cali’s Great America

Yea it’s actually not to hard if you have the chance to practice on the same thing elsewhere, in my case there is one of these at a park I like to go to and when I saw it and attempted it there I won first try

Lmao

Gotta get the team rocket disguises.

Mark getting a professional baseball pitcher to win carnival games (related to throwing) is the definition of overkill.

The ladder one, I actually won it, not because I kept my centre of balance perfectly in a line becauseI clung on very hard onto the rope in a clutch grab when I fell. I won a Lucario plushie and I am a huge Pokémon fan. I can only be insane at things if I’m motivated.

Thank you for the reality check 🥰

Your lady's reaction is the best part of the video!

Mark Rober: Literally teaching us science My school district: *Inappropriate content.*

*Wait- that’s illegal*

The class next door of mine watches mark Rober

My school is even allowing students to see yt vids even if they are educational they make us watch 2-5 year old kinda stuff for those age groups. plus one person is REALLY not smart the person needs to be put in the special special needs, Plus they're the same age as me. Who acts like a 5 year old but is a 12 year old. Its basicly like a 5 year olds soul trapped inside a 12 year old kids body.

I had the same thing happen with an art tutorials. Lol the only ones left where foreign small channels. Nice on schools.

As someone who goes to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk (same park in this video) this gives me more depth about these games.

He would be the perfect science teacher

If this guy was my teacher I'd be passing his class.

That Matt dude had insane aim and accuracy and power in his throws. Wow wow.

So refreshing to find a channel that is dedicated, hard working, and well put together. Not just screaming into a lense.

Are you the mother plugging the son in hopes he makes it big ànd moves out on his own soon ? Lmfao

This channel is really relaxing too. Not just complete intensity.

*Cough* Logan Paul *Cough*

Cough cough jake paul
