OMG thanks for all the lovely comments - I just noticed by chance that the numbers were rising on this video
Its an honor
Man, you rocks!
You are legend
This was by far the most amazing act I have ever seen on CZcams or anywhere else for that matter. The sheer control on the body and movements and the precision is just amazing~! Would definitely love to see more. :) Just curious, why is this not on your channel ?
was it you who performed, that!! was absolutely amazing act, brilliant performance, God bless :)
This man managed to make me wholeheartedly believe that a yellow balloon had a mind of its own and defied the laws of physics for 2 and a half minutes
Ye
Same I love this so much. XD
It's all in the body language and expression of the actor to convey the "personality" of the balloon.
@@jesusislord6545 shhhhhh

You’re living the dream my friend.
Holding a balloon… wow, that’s something I just can’t even imagine in my wildest fantasy.
@@mosquitopyjamas9048Half truth, helium is not going away(it is the second most abundant element in the universe), it’s just the easily extracted kind is becoming less abundant.
Brodie actually has more talent than like 90% of AGT contestants today
98%
Pantomime is a long rich art form bro that goes back 1000s of years
It’s like saying Jeff Coon is better than 90% of the people on AGT
Also 90% of AGT contestants back in the days
the only way anyone makes it on AGT is if they have a sad sappy story, that's what sells these days, not raw talent as displayed above.
@@JT-yo I mean, being sped also helps but yeah ur right. To some extent tho, you should have a talent that’s at least worth being on one of the biggest tv shows AND is at least entertaining to watch, which people these days don’t have much of
amazing moves, and body control
😁
Balloon control
Thats mime school for ya!

Okay, thanks for such a good analysis. We really needed that. And so does he.
Imagine the countless hours of practice…
2 hours at least

@@domr1660 it's a joke. "At least 2 hours" which could be true and if it was 9000+ hour it'd still be at least 2 hours.
Yeah that balloon must have a lot of spare time to practice like that
oh you mean the guy
Outstanding performance. Never seen as much body control as that, and the moon walk was a nice touch to it.
the audience could not be bothered to give this man a standing ovation. what a shame. this was bloody brilliant.
Wow that’s was really deep 😊. Absolutely! There's something truly captivating about watching classically trained TV entertainers perform. Their skill, grace, and dedication shine through in every move, making it a delightful experience for the audience. It was really a shame that the audience couldn’t appreciate his performance with a standing ovation.

I cannot think of a better way to spend two minutes and twenty four seconds of a finite and rapidly passing lifetime. Dude is brilliant.
The key to this is not only his talent, but he does not let one gag go on for too long, which creates the timing, to its crescendo.

@@yeahok9165 *Crescendo*
Yeah, I was worried he'd stick with the same thing for too long and right after I start thinking that he pulls out another trick
This is the sort of things animators always try to accomplish too. Make objects feel like they have real weight and make anything the character does seem believable. And this guy did it with his actual body and a real balloon!
You watched it too?
It's almost like miming is an art form and not just a punchline?
I agree I've dipped my toes into 3d animation and it's not hard to make an animation but it's hard to make it look right and interact with the environment in a realistic way
The “physics” in the classic Warner Bros and Tex Avery cartoons are phenomenal. As is the comedic timing.
U have this account for14yes whatt
The body control and gestures on this one are amazing.
The way he controls the balloon to keep on its spot must have hours of practice behind
Wow. Just wow.
Amazing! Beautiful!

@DON'T CLICK THIS VIDEO DONT CLICK!!
@DON'T CLICK THIS VIDEO Ok I won’t 👌
Like mimes?
+ adult comedy
agree
This blew my mind. The whole time I was thinking the balloon likely had some gas like hydrogen that was making it fly upwards extremely quickly, but then at the end when he drops it its revealed that the Balloon wasn't floating at all, and that threw me for a loop. Loved this.
I love the nervous smiles at the first. Like oh crap this balloon isn't moving
Womp womp (the people in my replies are insane)
Twice
I saw a grown man fight against a balloon, and lose
neither do i
This got me dead
This man fought against something that falls to the ground after a couple days, and didn't wait for it to
He's extremely good at acting like the balloon is heavy, and he can hold it still perfectly. I wonder how many hours of practice went into this

@@imnexup3577 if it's so easy then why aren't hundreds of people making money with the same act? anyone could try to do this as well as he did, but I doubt it.
@@imnexup3577 that clearly is more than 1 hour...
@@thebacteriawasbeatentodeath Maybe because most people have higher goals in life than playing with a balloon? give me a whole hour and i'll be better than him.
@@imnexup3577 bro wdym higher life goals? I could say the same about you; most people have higher life goals than putting down a performer in the youtube comments section. Plus, this isn't the only thing he does. He's a talented performer that comes up with the ideas for multiple creative skits and then puts the time and effort into perfecting them.
Since you're so cocky, I would legit like to see you try to replicate this. All it takes is an hour, right? You clearly have too much free time on your hands if you're picking fights in the yt comments section.
I think you should record yourself doing this exact balloon performance/trick. You don't need to show your face or talk or anything - just show me the result of an hour of practice. This should be easy, right? If it looks good then I'll legit believe you
The beauty of this act is that it could work just as well in literally any age, across any language. It's utterly timeless.

Moonwalking isn't really that hard, I learned in a few hours from the memory of some tutorial I watched years ago, it might not be as refined as his, but I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard. 1:15 though is very impressive, as well as 1:35

When he throws in the Moonwalk, you can see how physically agile he really is.
Maybe in the old days this would be entertaining
@@jimbohalsey8374 No it's entertaining to people who are inquisitive and interested in how he recreates the physical appearance of weight and solidity that isn't there with his movement. The Moonwalk is a key to his actual physical ability.

Great talent. Where is your sad story.
Hey im ur subscriber
Geez! So gorgeous. The control of movement is stunning.
I now have the sudden urge to spend the next 10 years mastering what he did
It would have been the perfect ending to have it be a neutrally weighted mixture of air and helium, so that when it was let go, it would hover where it was left.
That would be a little bit hard to get perfectly right. It's a very delicate balance and just the squeezing he does throughout this short performance would release some of the contents of the balloon, meaning the mixture wouldn't be the same from beginning to end.
@@anonymousaccordionist3326 it's also possible to do it this way czcams.com/users/shortsbcNhg5BFX70?feature=share which is easier but theres a string, and it would behave in a weighted way.
It would be finicky but eith the correct calculations you'd be able to make one with just gases, it'd only have to work for half an hour or so.
Good idea
@@asmolbean9300 Good clip, another issue I think would occur is how much interaction he has with the balloon before hand - it undoubtedly warms the balloon and the air inside. The warmer helium will make the balloon more buoyant than a colder one.
I thought it would have been awesome if the balloon lifted him up into the air and he had to pop it to get down.
The fact that the balloon is filled with air and not helium, so it doesn't push up makes this even greater
They used hydrogen those days
