    That entire opening sequence of Pee Wee's Big Adventure was hilarious: The retractable bed sheets, the bunny slippers sniffing the toy carrot, Pee Wee lifting 3lb weights like its 50lbs. and the whole morning breakfast Goldberg machine leading to Pee Wee eating one bite of food and feeling full!! HEE-LAR-EE US!!!! LOL

  • @MrThepatrickshow
    @MrThepatrickshow Před 8 lety +67

    Why so many breakfast machines? I'm guessing it's because so many screenplay writers want to start the first scene with the main character waking up in the morning. So, if that character is either a nutty inventor, or a general screwball... gotta have the breakfast machine... no matter how cliche' it's become.

    • @prettzsama
      @prettzsama Před 8 lety +10

      +Patrick Melody Because no one wants to do anything when right after waking up.

    • @jefferson6994

      +Patrick Melody I think they are trying to one up eachother

    • @RDeathmark
      @RDeathmark Před 8 lety +4

      +Patrick Melody i think it's got more to do with the inherent desire to make the morning routine as easy as possible, if you had a machine that would cook breakfast for you each morning it'd be great wouldn't it? of course,...what they don't show is them having to reset a lot of those things each night before bed lol

    • @Igorcastrochucre
      @Igorcastrochucre Před 8 lety

      +Patrick Melody I don't think a breakfast machine is a cliché, like most Rube Goldberg machines, they're fun to look at. However, look at the opening credits from 4:52 until 5:13. That's a way to hammer in the main character is intelligent and depending of your knowledge on math, that text is cringe-worthy.

      +Tardisius That awesome ride on the moving chair. I want one for myself.
      I think Casper called it "The up and atom machine"

    • @MCBigman
      @MCBigman Před 8 lety +2

      +Tardisius I thought about that one too. The only thing preventing it from being a TRUE Goldberg machine is chain reaction.

  • @CaptEoNinja83
    @CaptEoNinja83 Před 4 lety +2

    I'm not entirely sure if CGI or animated sequences should count in this list, but that's just me.
    But I'm seriously stoked you included "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"! I was just thinking as I was starting this video that that machine in C.C.B.B. better be in the list and TADA! LOL, I CALLED IT!
    And hooray that Great Mouse Detective is number one!

  • @robin888official
    @robin888official Před 8 lety +22

    I obviously misunderstood the term "Rube-Goldberg-machine". Only the first 3 places are actual chain-reactions.

      Rube Goldberg machine, is a machine intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way

  • @DKQuagmire
    @DKQuagmire Před 8 lety +3

    I know its not a movie but there was a sketch on Family guy with a Rube Goldberg Machine, that supposedly makes breakfast, but ends in a gun being fired at Peter Griffin. I do believe he was using the same machine as Peewee's.

    I'm glad Ernest's house at least got an honorable mention.
    But Pee-Wee's whole house is amazing. I recently watched that opening and I suddenly remembered how much I loved the movie as a kid. That whole house is a child's dream if silly fun an insane mechanics in action.
