Another great video, but corks? Hmm... do you think it's possible to run out of ideas?
It's possible, but we haven't.
We've shot 150 of these, and we're showing them in random order, so there's plenty of great stuff to look forward to.

150 of them? Very nice. It's good you guys have a queue. I suppose it's not that difficult, since you just have to clean up after each one. I think the eggs are the hardest.

That was fun. Great mix of cork and rubber/silicon corks.

Given that black coming straight for the camera, how many times did you guys freak out that something was about to hit and damage that very expensive camera you rented?

You know, you should have soaked them in gasoline and lit them on fire first. That would have been really cool.

the corks were better than I expected and I expect tomorrows to be pretty great too, but I suspect I will feel bad for whatever intern or lesser member of the team that is required to clean it up

Damn!! Lucky for you, the Halloween themed ones matched up perfectly...

OT: I was doubtful of this one to begin with but found myself cheering on the corks. Such as the black one that attacked out of nowhere.

"Oh, hey little guy! C'mon, c'mon. You can do it."

Then there was the guy that was late to the party. Loved that one.

Why is the second song not in the music section? (I found it on Last.fm in case anyone else wants it, as it's a free download there)

This may sound strange, but what about a cat? I've seen cats fall from higher with ease, but never in slow motion.
Animal Rights people would complain. And you can see their point, no matter how interesting it would be for thousands of people to see that, it just takes one idiot who just has to try everything out for himself and one cat, and then splat. Idiot says he was inspired by the Escapist, people at the Escapist feel guilty and sad, Escapist viewers feel sad. Paul can't walk the streets anymore without getting spat on (by cats)... you just don't want to do there.

Great! I picked one cork to look at and it its multiple collisions were somehow funny. Too bad I'm too lazy to youtube a version with that little buddy highlighted.

Ha, I was wondering whether you had done a huge number of them already since they don't take nearly as much time as your other stuff.

You know, I really liked that kickass music in the background. That is now officially the "corks being dropped from a height" theme song.

...is there somewhere I can get it?

More entertaining than expected. I loved the nearly chaotic physics involved, with all the collisions, rotational momentum, etc. I liked the bounciest ones coming down on the second fall to collide with the last of the original batch still bouncing upward. And then, there was the really bouncy one at the end, just when everything was kind of settled, here comes that one out of nowhere.

Click the "Music" link below the video, then click the "Younnat" link on the page you get to.

Touché.
Okay, I should have said they are not airing in production order.

I think Paul might have a drinking problem
Kathleen strikes me as a more likely culprit for that wine consumption ... not for any specific reason. I just find it easy to picture her relaxing with a glass of wine after a hard day filming.
