Vsauce is one of those youtubers whose video style never really changes and I love it.
Fr😭
I cannot stress enough how great this channel was and is. These trains of thought are so thoroughly explored and so well researched that the usual ten-minute runtime provides a deep pool of research. Thank you, Michael, and everyone involved in these studies. Your work will be remembered and cherished by many!
Title: "Is The 5-Second Rule True?"
5 seconds in: "Bananas are radioactive."
Wait people watch it? I just stopped after he asked the question...'its always too long ' so i go for the comments..its a lot more enjoyable.
Isn't it why people watch him? That's at least my reason for that, i watch Vsauce for radioactive bananas. Yes i just said that.

I’ve discovered you recently but I have to admit that every video you’ve done it’s absolutely entertaining 🎉❤
"If nobody saw it, eat it rule"
The best rule
For me its brush it off rule
😂😂
😂😂
My rule lmao
Vsauce was VERY ahead of his time. His old videos would still be amazing even if they were made today.
Bananas are fantastic
It was only 8 years ago. Relax.
V
its more like the videos are timeless, the information is very well articulated and laid out, it's always entertaining to come back and watch, the production quality itself (editing, animation, presentation, etc.) is REALLY good too, and at least for me I seem to always learn something new, or come to a newer understanding of stuff he talked about when I didn't understand it too well the first time or I just forgot. It all makes it worth rewatching in the future
Dude true
3:35 so no officer, I did not body slam that kid
5:09 I remember having always wondered why and finding out on this show and commenting on it on my now deleted youtube channel 4 years ago :(
i can't believe this is from 8 years ago, this man seems so fluent and catchy even today
That’s Vsauce for you Almost all of his videos are Very entertaining And Informative
Especially since only 2 years before this he created the "masterpiece" super fart bros
Well it’s seems like his camera equipment and the way he talks is from the time your watching it at, crazy

I'm waiting for the day bleach jokes die.
Mr Teepawt impossible. If you frink bleach your entire stomache will start to bleed and eventually you either die or get medical help, where your entire stomache will be removed and your intestine will be connected to your mouth. Since you will not have your stomache who could break the food into super small portions, you need to blend every type of food into a liquid to go through your intestine

Lol funny thing, I was an anti Vax kid and I haven't been sick since I got mercury poisoning when I was 2 from a vaccine ✌️
I have an evaluation process for whether or not to eat food off the ground.
1. How dirty does the floor look?
2. Was it picked up reasonably quickly?
3. Did it leave any residue on the ground?
4. Did it visibly pick up anything from the ground?
5. Did it land somewhere that dirt accumulates like in a corner or under a table?
6. How often is the area directly covered by foot traffic?
If the answer to all of these are satisfactory, then I’ll probably still throw it away because I’ve watched this video all the way through.
