- Squirrels were stealing my bird seed so I solved the problem with mechanical engineering :)
Here is an explanation of the illusion dish thing!- demos.smu.ca/index.php/demos/...
Here is a link to the illusion dish (not sponsored :) www.amazon.com/dp/B0718XCG7F/...
I started a company called CrunchLabs where we build a toy together and then I teach you all the juicy physics for how it works. So if you want to learn to think like an engineer and have really fun time doing it, check out the current promotion where you get 2 FREE boxes at crunchlabs.com
You should also go subscribe to the CrunchLabs CZcams channel cause we’ve got some bangers in the pipeline- / crunchlabs

Phantastic Gus is my spirit animal.
I love your channel so much!
yay
i love you sooo much, and i want to work at nasa when i grow up, like you did! you rock!
Wait.. How did you comment this 1 hour ago when the video came out 1 minute ago?!!??
good job mark
Neighbor: The squirrels are really becoming a problem.
Mark: Yeah, I've been training them with a special obstacle course.
Hahahaaa
LMAO i also loved how he said paint me like one of your french squirrels
Neighbor: The WHAT
Another CZcamsr whose area is flooded with squirrels solves that problem by using air rifles on the critters, incredibly effective.
But I have a feeling that won't come across very well on this channel! xD xD

Meanwhile ... 17 squirrels learned to raid Mark's fridge between 6am and 10am while he was being distracted by 4 of their mates.
It's like a heist movie, showing only the four distracting squirrels until the end where there is a big squirrel reveal on how the real heist was actually the fridge and a montage of how they pulled it off
over the hedge anyone?

This isn’t ratatouille
Omg that is so funny
This was both educational and entertaining. Watching the brilliance of these squirrels was more than what I expected. Thank you for being so curious yourself!
Ofc they are smarter than me.
Your skills as a story teller, educator, engineer and naturalist are brought together so beautifully. Thank you for this video
Moral of the video:
Squirrels are smarter than the average package thief.
yes
I don't think those things qualify as smart.
Edit: (I meant Package thieves)
Spence C. They’re definitely clever
there big brain

Mark…. I am blown away. This might be the best online video I have ever seen. On the negative side, its not Google, FB, Tw etc rolling dopamine addiction - I realized around the 4-6 minute part you TOTALLY HAD ME and there was nothing that would prevent me from seeing it in its totality. I nominate this for the CZcams Emmys or Oscars.
Probably the best video I've ever seen. Agree ❤ I too am blown away.
Do they actually do youtube awards? If so, I nominate this video. hands down best video I've seen in a looonnng time
This has been the most enjoyable 20 min's I've ever spent on CZcams, ever. Hats off to the fun! And I'm a squirrel lover too! Thank you so much for your video!!!
I'm changed forever toward squirrels.
That shot of gus chillin on the picnic table was probably the best thing ive seen in my life
Aka my brother at 5:00 am
The shot of the squirrel’s butt is hilarious and I thought he was doing it on purpose.
yes
Same haha I was actually laughing out loud at every joke mark made of gus
Mood
This is the closest we'll get to the Olympics this year
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂🤣🤣😭😭
This deserves number one comment 😂
😂😂 true
lmaoooo
this video is absolutely fantastic. the perfect combination of science, animal, action, humour and fun! thank you for putting in the time and effort to produce this!
I am telling u even tho it was 3 years ago I still love it I watched it when it came out
cant believe i came accross this video, 3 years later. That is realy something,!!! love the ending of, when you mentioned the deeper effect of this adventure : connecting with nature. Amazing hats off.
ñ🤓
I just got emotionally attached to 4 squirrels in 20 minutes.
Haha...me too!!! And they're co cute, right
hahaha TRUE THAT !!
Phat Gus
Is love
Nice
Nice
This, this is the video that CZcams was invented for.
Yes, thank you!
😄😄😄😄😄
Most definitely!
Fax
Yes!
You’re basically training your squirrels to problem solve. Soon they will take over the world.
Mini micro squirrel computer.
Yes they evolve and learn fast.
We can hope...probably too late for this election though 😩
It’s like that one episode of Rick and Morty.
This is one of my favourite videos on CZcams. Since my first time watching this video, I have moved to another country and started bird watching & bird feeding in the backyard. Since then the battle has been real - at least 2 bird feeders were destroyed, and much suet and seeds went to these indomitable, genius creatures. I now fully believe that squirrels can take over the world if they really wanted to.
Imagine someone breaks into the house from the back and sees squirrels doing parkour
Robber: Ooooookayyy then imma just leave now
Gus: Broooooooo, can you bring me some walnutsssss
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would be like “oh... OH THEY TRAINING SPY SQUIRRELS!”
Cause we all break into houses to go outside...
DarthRaichu I think they meant they tried to break in from the back or something
Now i feel like i know these squirrels personally,
Yeah I'm gonna miss em
Now I'm thinking in getting a squirrel
these squirrels are smarter than me
M 2
I want a pet squirrel after this video and I want Mark to build a squirrel playground for them
Squirrels are my favourite. The are so nimble and beautiful i use to watch them all the time in front of my house on the boundary walls of the park. This video is always a delight to watch as i am often away from my home due to work this refreshes the lazy mornings i have when i am at home.
No words. Beyond excellent. Thank you. Filled with hope that at least one person in America still has a functioning brain.
Moral of the story:
Squirrels are smarter than porch pirates
Like that's a hard thing to be.
And wayyyy more atheletic
Lol
Your very true about that
Squirrels are smarter than me 😂
lets be honest, when we clicked on this video we never thought it would be this good.
i was worried he would hurt the squirrrels, nice video
Honestly 😂😂😂
Its Mark Rober. Of course it would be
Those squirrels exceeded my expectations along with the video.
Ive been subbed for a long time ik what im getting into
This is my 2nd time watching already
Благодарность автору от мамы болеющих детей, которым необходимо спокойно сидеть во время ингаляций небулайзером. Ваши видео - просто находка! Даже я с удовольствием их смотрю, хотя планировала заниматься бытом С увпжением, Мария
Mark Rober, 20 :20 min. of pure fun with these marvelous squirrels, with no doubt, we learn something new every day, thank you so much. greetings from Lima, Perú.
Who would win?
- An engineer who spent 9 years at NASA
-Three fluffy bois and girl

Liam Armstrong fixed it
And the girl

@Can We get to 2,000 subscribers without videos ? When the op made the comment originally it didn’t include phantastic Gus, so they edited it, but only after someone replied
I would literally watch a whole season of Squirrel Wipeout.
Your on to something here
Woah woah wash he’s gotta point there
I'd watch that on discovery channel fo sho
Oooohhh... Interesting
What we need :
1.Squirrels

Очень смешно. Спасибо. А белки - чудо!!! ❤❤❤😂😂😂
The effort, time and commentary Broooh!!! Always appreciate your videos. Funny and informative 📌
like for a petition so that he has a day every year where he brings back the course to check up on the squirrels
Yes
@@masonelliott7674 that's kinda mean but ok.

Well said.
Yeah you should see Micheal Reeves...
@@coledatbom6749 the squirrel would have gotten just taszed do death :)
👏👏👏
The fact this video is 20 minutes and 20 seconds long and was released in 2020 is just perfect.
This is a special video you’ve done here. I was in awe watching it and enjoying the narration like a happy story about life
I cant believe it worked so well, this was probably one of the most entertaining things I've ever watched.
Yup
you need to get a life then
Danes, if this didn't entertain you immensely you are a sad sad individual.

He’s?
How many late night dip's did Prego take in the neighbor's pool. (accidental of course) little to slow to get off the trigger😲🤬🤯N flying 🐿️'S but I didn't know that they could swim.😜
The squirrels sitting on the picnic bench is so cute lol
Phat Gus was hilarious 😂
Phat Gus the superstar
Everyone: Keemstar vs Ethan Klein
Mark Robert: calm down and watch squirrels get yeeted
until you see phantastic gus laying on the table doing the starfish
Right?!
This obstacle course was single-handedly responsible for the evolution of flying squirrels.
I like how in these videos, the squirrels are showing off the cuteness by the same time, getting tiery exercise out
I didn’t think I needed squirrels sitting on a picnic table in my life, but I really did.
something you didn't know you needed but now know you needed
Same lolol
Lmao it’s amazing
He looked so comfortable
I think you don't
Imagine having squirrels in your backyard waiting on a picnic table for some walnuts
I would just sit with them and bring nuts
We shall now open a squirrel restaurant
We don't have squirrels in my place ¯\_༼ᴼل͜ᴼ༽_/¯
I'm the 666th like, you're welcome.
*Me, who’s allergic to walnuts:*
👁 🐽 👁

Amazing work😂👏 I love squirrel too❤
I've moved from Russia to USA, and I'm so happy that I can touch nature. I'm give to squirrel nuts, some foods, they are so cute 😊
Absolutely loved this video! So cute and fascinating! Thank you!
A squirrel sitting at a tiny picnic table is the cutest thing I've seen.
Not when they push your friend's birthday cupcakes off the picnic table and on the dirt floor. Lol but they are cute not doing anything.
@@dduelion who hurt you
Was it the squirrel
DC has dem super rare hairless tail squirrels
Tatiana Saravia I mean ur not wrong but jeez who did hurt u 😂

yeah lol
I just shoot them
@@michiworkz4560 Ahh yes the American way
also eat your cereal
Its a tradition to watch this every once in a while
The fact my science teacher showed this video to us last last week is crazy i cant-✋️
But I LOVE THE VIDEO!! :O
I hope he realizes that he is only training the squirrels to become stronger.

Well we meet again
Hey
I haven't laughed so much for ages. Out loud too. Wonderful video. Who'd have thought of the squirrels' mental agility eh?
This was amazing I honestly thought this would be partially boring but this is amazing and so sweet!
What I expected: Some boring carpentry
What I got: A comprehensive slow motion analysis of a squirrel being launched
This is better then any carpentery video anyone could imagine
Funny, how he can entertain both squirrels and humans at the same time.

“what did you learn during quarantine” I learned the angular momentum of a squirrel”
What is the angular momentum of an unladen squirrel?
Haravata Johann dont you know
Nope you only learned that angular momentum is responsible for them righting themselves. I gave done work highly involved in momentum especially angular momentum for about 27 years.
@@quijybojanklebits8750 neat
“what did you learn during quarantine” - I learned that i need to move to a house so i can build my own course for squirrels. :P
Imagine Mark's son in the future asking him for ideas for the science fair
Marks son or daughter will win EVERY science fair.... EVER
Underrated comment😂
@@melissapeterson1298 Already has a son
Ya heard of a Nuclear Reactors?
He already has a whole video on science fair ideas
This was a fantastic video. After loosing 3 baby flying squirrels, I needed this.
This was genius! Well constructed. And amazing to see what amazing skills squirrels has!
Imagine waking up one morning and seeing four squirrels having a picnic in your neighbour's backyard
Scare them away
"honey.... he's having s playdate with the squirrel is again...."
Back to sleep 😂
Epic

I like how he talks about the squirrels like they’re speedrunners.
“A solid run”
“A time under 40 seconds”
“A near perfect run by Frank”

Such a great film- Love your narration, too. Very funny. And congrats on building such a great course.
"Well turns out Phat Gus is not a dude.........and *he's* pregnant." 😂😂I'm sorry
Wow xd
omg
Phat Gus, is a male. Some male squarels have nipples.
Lol
I demand a controlled study where you get squirrels from other communities and try to replicate these results. I suspect that the squirrels in Mark's backyard are more intelligent than average squirrels as they are probably master engineers from watching all of his science projects.
Perhaps we should send these squirrels to Japan...
I agree
they're getting too smart...
(words from mark rober himself)
*Sneak 100*
Wonderful to find on a Saturday morning while studying for an exam :) Thank you!
Phat gus can smell those wallnuts miles away before you even opened the package, he knew how to get to the end before you even built the platform
This is the type of person I aspire to be, someone who makes intense “useless” contraptions because of boredom...
but first we need to be an ex-Nasa engineer😥
normal bored people: scrolling trough their phone

This is my favorite video too, I'm soo glad that I didn't skip this one...
Yeah
Me too and I have a cat named Gus and he's just like fantastic Gus
Agree
Well you just said it, it's a bunch of squirrels doing a ninja course!
I just LOVE watching Mark's videos! They really entertain me!!
A Mark Rober vs Nature classic. Well worth the revisit on this New Year's Eve. 🎉
Mark: builds the best squirrel proof bird feeder
Everyone at NASA: who the f let this man quit his job?
Except it wasn't squirrel-proof at all, was it?
@@swrennie better than the other ones... and i think the one with the spring could have worked with the spring soldered in place and you could secure the top with some screws to make it really squirrelpproof
I feel you all miss the fact that he DID make a squirrel proof feeder. He made the poles slippery 😁 He won, but showed how ingenious and determined squirrels really are.
I got an idea bring a gun and a squirrel trap
I forgot about that, i kind of glad he stopped working at nasa, if he didn’t we might not have gotten these videos
This is the most entertaining video about squirrels in existence
Have you heard about Saving the squirrles initiative?
Someone doesn't watch idubbbz
Innit
Yup!
Just casually scalping Barbie like we wouldn't notice.

Sure, this is really, really entertaining (I'm supposed to be working...), and obviously super-smart. But, from a professional's perspective, he is a tremendous filmmaker. It's not the gear, obviously. He's just an extremely effective story-teller. Kudos, no kidding ....
