The guys have some fun with det cord-a.k.a detonating cord-as they spell out their names in explosives and blow it all up. Check out The Super Slow Show, Only on CZcams.
And the potential of the Super Slow Show series was fully realized. Visuals were fantastic, but to me the best part was seeing Dan drop the act and look sharp and capable in an area of expertise.
Check out the way he talks through the way an HE fragmentation grenade works in their "HUGE BUILDING EXPLOSION AT 2500 FPS" (or whatever it was actually called) video from 4 years ago, more of the same professional level explanation.
make no mistake, Dan certainly has his...um...moments lol. check out some of the Dan stories over on rooster teeth. priceless. but yeah he’s still a pretty sharp guy. loved watching Gavin actually get dirty a few eps ago. just doesn’t happen enough imo.
I like how Gav is clueless about the explosives and madness and Dan is clueless about the technical stuff but the two combined make one awesome channel.
I think so too because they're finally using a much better Phantom which is capable of achieving much slower slow-mo framerates than the 1000 in literally every other episode.
"It's like water" - This is exactly the reason game and film developers (like myself) use fluid dynamic tools to create "realistic" fire systems. In any given system where an element takes the path of least resistance against a competing dynamic, you'll notice a sort of style to its behavior among the chaos, regardless of the elements used. Which is what we're seeing here in the video. The mass of the elements you use may change, but the rules that govern remain the same. It's quite literally like using math as a universal language, since it's all rooted in the formulas of real world physics 👍
Dan, I am not British, but I just want to thank you for serving your country in the military. I now understand how you can withstand all the torture Gavin puts you through...
British and my dad was in the RAF. I always thank his friends and anyone who's served in the forces, as it's such a selfless act, that I could never do myself.
I was born with several deformities that prevented me from serving like my families' prior 3 generations so I have always felt especially appreciative.
+Sahaal_17 Why would it only be Americans that thank soldiers for their service? Also, I feel that I must point out that they never said "thank you for your service", they said "thank you for serving your country"
Finding out Dan was in the army connects so many unanswered questions. Like legit,i used to be like this normal looking dude is either an undercover extremist or secret agent.
You guys are amazing! When Dan talks about stuff with military connection, he sounds like a expert. When Gav talks about high speed cameras, he sounds like a master engineer. When any of you talk about anything else, you sound like slightly daft toddlers I love you so much :P
The most beautiful piece this far in the series, I think it's fantastic that these guys have made it so far and have managed to show is fun entertaining and stunning pieces of slow motion beauty.
Wow, all this time and I didn't know Dan was in the military. Speaks a lot to why he's so willing to do the things he does. Not to mention his tallent with firearms.
First of all it would be super slow, it would look like a nuke, YOUR MAJESTY, THE COLONY IS IN DANGER! WE ARE GETTING NUCLEAR ATTACKS BY (insert other colony here)
Actually standing 50 or so feet away when it goes off is a crazy cool experience. Im in the Airforce version of Dans military career and we had a test day where they set some off near us
@Siss Derella He's using experience to make a channel interesting and fun for others to watch. What are you an activist?Learn to chill out and have fun, stop making the comment section on what you think is not right. Learn to have fun!
You absolutely blew this one out of the park Gav and Dan. This is top class content, as good as any of your other videos, ever. It's so cool seeing you take Slow Mo Guys to another level even after all this time. I wish I could give you both two-handed high fives!
4:21 there’s a really cool moment underneath the ‘A’ where the shockwaves are meeting up and create a cool spiderweb meeting. I don’t know how else to explain it, it’s JUST COOL
2:08 Is gonna be my lock screen background and 4:18 Will be my desktop wallpaper, both in 1080p HD for my 1920x1080 HP Omen. Layman's terms: Finally found some kickass wallpapers for my kickass laptop
theres a video where they're messing around with bangers and paint, and at the end gavin says about how a fragment of glass was stuck in dans finger, and he had to have it removed while on tour in afghanistan
Play it back from that point at 0.25 speed. You can see the explosion slowly travelling under the water. Looks like a round spot light moving across the pond.
Glad to see Dan drop the act and actually show his intelligence. Probably my favorite video for that reason mostly. But still was a cool idea and a cool video. Good job guys!
I love when they get to blow things up and Dan gets to be the knowledgeable one for once. Plus, this looked awesome af. Who'd ever thought an explosion could be so pretty!
Amazing. The way the detonation gases expand underwater much slower than the speed which the det cord goes kablooey was worth rewatching. I'm glad stuff like this exists so I don't have to risk my life, health or freedom finding out for myself.
I would love to see Slow Mo Guys team up with Taofledermaus and get some weird and wonderful shots of some bizarre custom made shotgun slugs. Dear internet, please make this happen.
i practically grew up watching the slo mo guys, and seeing their new content makes my heart so happy! from humble beginnings to slo mo gods. love you guys!
Hey guys, how about a close up slow mo video of instant/flash freezing water from the nucleation point to see the growing ice crystals. They're not extremely fast but it would be cool in 4k
this was great. i loved watching the little shock wave collision for dan's name just below the A. Also Dan is not someone i would call fat. Certainly a solid lookin' dude but not fat imo.
Quite possibly one of the coolest Slow Mos Gav and Dan have ever done. Does anyone know what the pinkish light is caused by on the last detonation as the chord is detonating around the triangle? Is that just lens flare?
The pink light just above and to the right of the main triangle is lens flare / internal lens reflection. If you watch frame by frame, you can see that it is a reflection of the main image. Flippin' cool.
Blowing stuff up (with permission of course) is fun. Years ago my Dad asked me if I'd remove an old tree stump that was in the garden. Overcooked it a bit. Took out the stump, the greenhouse, half the shed and his favourite flower bed. It did NOT end well 😭.
6:44 That interference pattern is crystal clear. I've never seen that just from refraction due to air pressure before. I think "magnificent" is the word to use there.
I did the maths. With enough det cord, if you laid it across the United States from coast to coast it would only take 4.99 seconds to cover the 2,680 miles (4313.04 km). That is just insane speed.
And the potential of the Super Slow Show series was fully realized. Visuals were fantastic, but to me the best part was seeing Dan drop the act and look sharp and capable in an area of expertise.
RMD Cade I agree, I feel like he could make a full series about the stuff he specialises in.

I think these are the coolest images they've had in the super slow show so far
i totally agree
Agree
Agree 100 %
Let's be Honest Official agreed the water exploding was something they surprisingly didn't realy in the past and I find it very beautiful
the flamethrower was really good
I like how Gav is clueless about the explosives and madness and Dan is clueless about the technical stuff but the two combined make one awesome channel.
Two halves of one whole chaotic genius
LMAO agreed with both of you!!
2 chaotic halves of geniusness
So true bro
I love Dan’s reaction compared to Gav’s because Gav Covers his ears and tenses up and Dan just casually stands there watching it
HAND down the best one theyve done yet on this new series!!!!
Poor guy only has one hand...
HAHAHAHAHA
To be fair that wasn't hard to do (and yes I see the pun as well)
I remember when these guys were filming in their back yard.
#remeberthebackyard
never forget.
The Dhestroyer lest we forget... they will not grow old
They still do, just in a different backyard
Oke
it'll never get old seeing Dan change from the goofy one to the serious one
Imagine someone a couple of miles away thinking WWIII has started.
they're in a quarry i'm sure it's normal to hear explosions if you live nearby
I love the fact that Dan was basically the guest expert for this episode.
Who else thinks FPS vs FPS is the best episode of the super slow show
I think so too because they're finally using a much better Phantom which is capable of achieving much slower slow-mo framerates than the 1000 in literally every other episode.
Yeah!

finally a proper slow mo guys video, with fat framerates and time to actually see what happens. nice
Manuel Rego ik couldn't agree more
These were filmed while ago all at once.

“Isn’t blowing stuff up fun?”
- Dan’s Quote of the year
Dan, I am not British, but I just want to thank you for serving your country in the military. I now understand how you can withstand all the torture Gavin puts you through...
+MICHELLE ROSS Could already tell you're not british by the fact that you said 'thank you for your service'.
As far as I know only americans say that.
British and my dad was in the RAF. I always thank his friends and anyone who's served in the forces, as it's such a selfless act, that I could never do myself.
I was born with several deformities that prevented me from serving like my families' prior 3 generations so I have always felt especially appreciative.
+Sahaal_17 Why would it only be Americans that thank soldiers for their service? Also, I feel that I must point out that they never said "thank you for your service", they said "thank you for serving your country"
Sir.Bantalot It's just sort of a very American thing to say.
Finding out Dan was in the army connects so many unanswered questions.
Like legit,i used to be like this normal looking dude is either an undercover extremist or secret agent.
they have said many times in previous videos that he was in the army XP
"The hills are alive with the sound of... detonations!"
*This comment fills you with determination.*
That explosion at the end was seriously one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Slow-mo is so incredible!
You guys are amazing!
When Dan talks about stuff with military connection, he sounds like a expert.
When Gav talks about high speed cameras, he sounds like a master engineer.
When any of you talk about anything else, you sound like slightly daft toddlers
I love you so much :P
That's what I get for commenting before seeing the part where Gav said:
"Or! The camera blinked"
That’s so much cooler than having your name in lights 🔥
ikr!
Science with Katie Hi again Katie 😂
Ollie Johnson Haha hi! We need more channels, I always watch the same stuff everyday 😂
Doesn't last as long though
I now aspire to have my name written in explosion.
“So we’re gonna try and write our names, in det cord”
This is quite possibly the best sentence I’ve ever heard.
I was always a little curious about Dan's Military service. Good to finally know a little bit.
So *that's* why Dan is up to do pretty much anything
The most beautiful piece this far in the series, I think it's fantastic that these guys have made it so far and have managed to show is fun entertaining and stunning pieces of slow motion beauty.
Wow, all this time and I didn't know Dan was in the military. Speaks a lot to why he's so willing to do the things he does. Not to mention his tallent with firearms.
By far one of the most visually satisfying things they've done
Best show on CZcams right now, hands down
24pazman it really is , been watching them for years and it's so awesome to see them get a mini series on CZcams!
That rumble is the wibblement across the mountains 😉
Imagine being an ant in an ant hill right next to the explosion
no
First of all it would be super slow, it would look like a nuke, YOUR MAJESTY, THE COLONY IS IN DANGER! WE ARE GETTING NUCLEAR ATTACKS BY (insert other colony here)
Fire elimental THE FLYS
They would all be instantly killed by the shockwave
Hiroshima all over again
That visual ripple in the air from the shockwave was amazing!
That shockwave... I ACTUALLY SAW IT! It was like the Matrix! Super cool.
FastLikeUNO i thought it is impossible to see it
watch mythbusters (the original series) you see it alot
Actually standing 50 or so feet away when it goes off is a crazy cool experience. Im in the Airforce version of Dans military career and we had a test day where they set some off near us
What? A shockwave compresses air. The compressed air refracts light differently than still air. That's the bubble expanding around explosions.
Seriously, age of the internet and people still can't be bothered to open a new tab.
2:07 that looks soo awesome
6:41 is my favourite part.
WAL33D Meh, 2:11 is much nicer
WAL33D MAS I
WAL33D MAS i
4:16 is better
I think it’s really cool that Dan served in the military
I agree

4:12 never seen my own name being so beautiful
*Today's a good day to be named Dan*
Was gonna like this comment but then i saw your name
I’ve got a brand new display picture forever.
Was a good day to have a 3 letter name in general I guess
never a good day to be a despacito fan though
All dans concur.
You absolutely blew this one out of the park Gav and Dan. This is top class content, as good as any of your other videos, ever.
It's so cool seeing you take Slow Mo Guys to another level even after all this time. I wish I could give you both two-handed high fives!
But you can't because Dan's arm
I love how they consistently produce solid content so easily.
By far one of my favorite youtubers.
4:21 there’s a really cool moment underneath the ‘A’ where the shockwaves are meeting up and create a cool spiderweb meeting. I don’t know how else to explain it, it’s JUST COOL
“I think that might be the coolest my name has ever looked.” -Gavin No, I think it was the coolest on skyfactory.

Yeah in room / quake style
talkin about layman's terms while using 1080p as a description for resolution of a still image lel
While Dan's segment wasn't even shot in 1080p as they compromised resolution to get the higher framerate

Woah I didnt know Dan served in the army for 7 years! Thank you for your service. :)
7 years. He went one better.
David Sanders thats why Dan does the guns
Ah, Sorry, I by mistake wrote 6. I edited the comment to 7.
theres a video where they're messing around with bangers and paint, and at the end gavin says about how a fragment of glass was stuck in dans finger, and he had to have it removed while on tour in afghanistan
British army I might add
7:20 all the 4 elements captured at the same time, that's majestic....
Water...
Earth...
Fire...
Air...
Long ago, four nations lived together in harmony. But that all changed when the Slo-Mo nation attacked...
I love how the dissipating energy from the shockwave makes a copy of the horizontal line in the "A" out of dust.
6:38 the best footage :)
No doubt!
Play it back from that point at 0.25 speed. You can see the explosion slowly travelling under the water. Looks like a round spot light moving across the pond.
the lens flare just made it look way cooler!! WAW
That was badass you could literally see the shockwaves
Hey, you could've written your CZcams logo using this det cord and made yourself a new intro!
EDIT: 600 likes?!?! Now you two really should do that!
"today's special guest is... dan"
Glad to see Dan drop the act and actually show his intelligence. Probably my favorite video for that reason mostly. But still was a cool idea and a cool video. Good job guys!
3:40 "Fa'er Framerate, fa'er le'ers" Is one of my Favorite british sentences I've ever heard
6:38 - One of the best slow mo I have ever seen!
I love when they get to blow things up and Dan gets to be the knowledgeable one for once. Plus, this looked awesome af. Who'd ever thought an explosion could be so pretty!
Oh my god. One of your best guys. The visuals were fantastic.
That ooh at the end was hilarious! That may be my favorite part of the episode.😆😆😆

Anyone else think of lieutenant Dan when they talk about his army career
Now THAT is what I am here for, those images were absolutely mesmerizing and seeing the shockwaves travel and interact was super fun!
I blinked when that happened then, I went back, then I blinked again.
Gav's just nervous around guns and explosives, Dan's just chill af lol.
Gav asking about the physics of the det cord under water and Dan just sighs and goes "it's gonna be an explosion under water" 😂
Detcord wired to a dead tree. Every branch.
merickful That's even better than lightning striking a dead tree, it would explode bigger. Lol, I don't want to English.
*boom* What tree?
Hey guys, how about a close up slow mo video of instant/flash freezing water from the nucleation point to see the growing ice crystals. They're not extremely fast but it would be cool in 4k
6:40 on .25 playback sounds like two stoners having a great time, love it
Last explosion was so relaxing and satisfying.
6:43 New ad for CZcams??
That would be dope!!
that will be on the end of the year compilation for sure
this was great. i loved watching the little shock wave collision for dan's name just below the A. Also Dan is not someone i would call fat. Certainly a solid lookin' dude but not fat imo.
Shockwaves are so awesome to watch in slow mo, please more of it :)
That was *M E N T A L*
👌👌👌
Quite possibly one of the coolest Slow Mos Gav and Dan have ever done. Does anyone know what the pinkish light is caused by on the last detonation as the chord is detonating around the triangle? Is that just lens flare?
Shane Tapp I don’t know, but it looks cool
Yea it is I think
It isn't a lens flare, it's the air making lightwaves behave differently because of the big pressure, transmitting light differently
The pink light just above and to the right of the main triangle is lens flare / internal lens reflection. If you watch frame by frame, you can see that it is a reflection of the main image. Flippin' cool.
It might be the high pressure from the explosion changing the optical density of the air
I think that will be on CZcams rewind.
Ruben Bernhard I commented saying they should use this to make a new intro for their videos
Bro fatally right
I love how the pressure waves make it look like creases in the air. Det chord is super cool.
I LOVED this episode. great job guys! (And thank you,Dan, for your service!)
I am just realizing that they need to be the new Mythbuster's now. :P
Except they don't bust myths at all...
Those are some of the most beautifully captured shock waves I've seen (and I've seen my fair share). Great job!
Watching at .25 speed makes them sound so drunk and high and I love it😁😁😁
I love how Gav calls the Phantoms "the big guns".
As a content creator, I must say, Slow Mo Guys set the bar pretty high.
they don't do much their content is just their expensive camera
They;re not even good they're so awkward
Cool vids dude
Leafyisheresucks I mean Dan served in the army. I don't see how they're that awkward.

THIS CAHNNEL IS THE DEFINITION OF EYE CANDY
I did the maths. With enough det cord, if you laid it across the United States from coast to coast it would only take 4.99 seconds to cover the 2,680 miles (4313.04 km). That is just insane speed.
Now we just need a strong camera in the ISS for the ultimate tracking shot. Although that stunt is basically impossible. But i want it to be real!
it would take about thirteen minutes at 6km/s
