Dan handled that gold leaf like a cartoon character handles a souffle.

Hi, British history pedant here. Britain's army isn't royal. We had a civil war where the army sided against the king so it swears loyalty to the king, but is deployed and used by Parliament, thus, British Army rather than Royal army. It has units in it with the designation of 'Royal' such as the Royal Engineers, but the organisation as a whole is not 'Royal.' Its just a title handed out when its felt a unit deserves it
Gav over there with a full computer setup like he's in the matrix, while Dan is making a drying rack for mice clothes.

There is a comedy expression " a slice of fried gold." Cannot recall who spoke the word's. But Gavin and Dan. There humor is somewhat dry and inoffensive and very humorous with deadpan precision. From year's of easy interactions with certain self deprecating stylings... Never mean spirited. 😊

The evolution of this channel is nuts. Like 10 years ago it’s like “let’s throw a toy plane at some legos in slow mo” now you’re “exploding gold in a vacuum.” Love to see it boys

I heard recently that Gavin did the slow-mo in some movie. Like, not "The rise of garboman", a _real_ movie. I forget what it was, but it was a real movie credit because he's a professional Cinematographer and a some hollywood director decided that they needed his professional expertise. And all I could think to myself was "Damn, he's really gone up in the world." Edit: Apparantly he worked on hot-fuzz and the Judge Dredd movie.

"The way the light reflects against the gold... it's brilliant." It always cracks me up when someone uses a word by its actual meaning when it was really just slang
Dan being supremely stressed about the gold leaf is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.
Do ice in a vacuum chamber next. The ice will melt while in the vacuum and refreeze when you repressurize

Man, I just love these guys so much. Thank you Gav and Dan for the happiness you've brought with every episode.
Ooooh excited for the orbital robot usage
2:33 Gav: "Looks like the end of the *Crystal Maze."* Gave, you have no idea how HAPPY I am you made that reference that only 90s kids would understand. The memories came flowing back the moment you mentioned it. Miss those days...
“What did the crisp say to the egg?” 😂 had me laughing pretty hard.
The chemistry between Gav and Dan is......... wait for it............ golden. 😁😁😁🤟
It's so cool when you think about how successful these two have made this channel over the years while living on different continents half the world away!
100% Vintage Slo Mo Guys. FANTASTIC! 🤩 Gorgeous! *I LOVE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!*
You guys know each other way too well. Gav knows exactly how to make Dan laugh at the wrong moment.
2:33 “it looks like the end of the crystal maze” 😭😭😭
Perfect video! No talking for an hour, building expectations, just a quick explanation and jokes during the setup, straight into the experiments. Kudos 👍
Im a simple man I see Slow Mo Guys, I click, I have a great time. Truly one of the best channels on this damn platform
The way the gold looks like burning embers as it disintegrates from the edges is BEAUTIFUL! That was brilliant, well done guys!!
I don't think I've seen anything on this channel quite as pretty as this. Add the friendship dynamic I've been enjoying for years, and it's about the most beautiful thing i've seen on this site. Love you guys, thanks for literal years of absolute joy!
Just like the firecracker underwater inspired a cgi shot in Solo, I can already tell this is going to inspire some cool sci fi special effects shot in a future movie
What I love is that eventhough they have gotten fancier equipment through the years, done more and more amazing and EXPENSIVE stuff, but they have stayed the same through it all. Always.
Love the giant robot arm camera set up makes for very cool shots
Seeing your current setup after watching this channel for over a decade now makes me so happy. The evolution and growth you guys have had over the years is genuinely amazing and will never stop being absolutely incredible ❤
The gold foil getting blown away looks like a liquid. Beautifully captured once again.
This video was absolute slow mo gold pun utterly and unashamefully intended 😂
this video felt so good today, loved hearing all the chitchat about the cameras
Moving high speed shots look incredible! Pretty awesome what you can do with those expensive toys, and the talent to operate them.
2:50 No, Dan, the chamber isn't sucking, the atmosphere is pushing. Physics 101.

Yep, after hearing the annoying flat earth arguments about space not “sucking the atmosphere off”, it was a bit silly to hear that. gavin was right in the first place.
Dan: trying to defuse a bomb Gav: trying to make Dan laugh
Gives a chilling visual of what would have occurred to the occupants of the Titan submersible. Quick and painless.
You guys have been my favorite ever since I discovered KZread! Thanks for always making top of the line content and being your true selves!
This is one of your most beautiful videos yet. Hauntingly beautiful, in a weird way. The gold ripples in the middle that tore through the sheet as it turned into dust while looking as something somewhere in between a liquid and a solid... Gorgeous visuals! And I laughed out loud at the "Shut UP!" from Dan. He looked like an ever so slightly mad scientist with his golden leaves. This was a short, but very sweet episode! Thanks guys!
This one of the most beautiful slow motion videos ever
Having worked in a school science lab, I have deep sympathy for Dan working with Gold leaf. Such a pain.
Aside from being impressed by the slow mo video, I always find it equally impressive listening to the sound effect during the slow mo The tearing sound fits just right in
One of the more beautiful ones you've done, just loved the whole vibe of this one. ✨💖
1:10 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "I'm laundering my gold" 🤣🤣🤣
This might be my new favourite since the slo mo glitter. Just beautiful.
Good to see Slow mo guys still uploading.
The foley was just as brilliant as the visuals. Nicely done -- this was beautiful and amazing!
The first time I saw one of these videos of these gentlemen, was like 2011. And have never stopped watching 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This setup is by far the most mad scientist they’ve looked
It seems like handling gold makes Dan more nervous than handling explosives....interesting.
This is very neat (and pretty)! Thanks for sharing! Also that moving robot arm is freakin' amazing!
7:19 It's like the gold is actually on fire, the way it's reflecting as it disintegrates, and it looks amazing!
never thought I'd be surprised by a SlowMo guys title again, and especially not those final frames, freakin' works of art!
I need some of these shots as a laptop moving background. This is so cool.
Thx to the Slo Mo guys for giving youtube some entertaining yet educational information for all to see . you guys never cease to bring up new ideas to stimulate the BRAIN .
That last long bit with all the gold going everywhere is what you'd expect as a demo loop for large screen TVs in shops.
Thank you, Slo Mo Guys, and The Action Lab too! Beautiful to see guys so enthusiastic about natural phenomena.
You guys are a great. The visuals had such a mesmerising and beautiful aesthetic it's unlike anything I've ever seen before. Gold leaf in a vacuum in slomo is a visual treat!!
This is some of the most beautiful footage you ever created! ❤️

I strongly disagree.
"What did the crisps say to the egg?" and then no punchline. That was fantastic!
With all genuine honesty - i hope that holywood contacts you as consultants for CGI effects because these footages are absolutely unique. The stuff you see when you look so upclose at some materials in stress like this only to discover some unexpected ways how they actually behave is just mindblowing and they deserve to be replicated by best CGI models in the context of a movie
That is somehow the perfect Slow Mo Guys video title… I have so many questions and can’t wait to find out the answers.
Amazing! It looks like a downdraft from a thunderstorm cloud but in an extreme fashion.
Years and years later and I’m still so excited to see a new slow mo guys video, without fail hehe
the humour between you two after all these years and I've been watching since the very start is fantastic. I don't know about anyone else but the lack of punchline on the crisp and egg joke broke me. must be because I'm also British......And a dad :D as always love the videos and will forever look forward to the next one
This is gorgeous footage. Would love some of it as a screensaver or something. Stunning with all the different layers.

"It's sucking the air in" Actually it's not, Dan is far more correct at 3:05, saying it's like the entire atmosphere is the chamber for an air cannon.
If you guys posted a video every day, I would watch all of them 😊 I wouldn’t care what you shot in slow mo, you would make it amazing
Yayyy I can't wait for you to do lots of vacuum chamber videos now!!
The Slow Mo Guys and The Action Lab collaboration would be totally awesome!
I love how the best part of these video's isn't even the slomo. It's everything in between.
Gavin has so many punch lines in FFace but not for Dan
That was actually really interesting. Please do come up with more vacuum related ideas 😀
"It looks like the end of the crystal maze" is the most out-of date pop-culture reference I've heard in a very long time. :D
Dan and Gav, you should put a small fan in the vacuum chamber with the foil - I love the way the gold leaf flutters as the air is evacuated from the chamber and then freezes once it achieves vacuum. 4:56
I remember when these guys started with a "slow motion" camera back in the day that barely even qualified as slow motion, and now look at them! The best cameras AND robot arms, and also quickly approaching 15 MILLION subscribers! 😂
Love the slow mo guys
I love this channel man , the slow motion shows how beautiful the lil things in life are , an how fast they go by
"Laundering my gold," that was BRILLIANT
The chamber isn't sucking the air in. You were right Dan, the atmosphere literally is the pressure chamber for the air cannon.
Just came from the original balloon video again. I can't believe sometimes how far these guys have come the last 12 plus years. I'm happy to say I found them early, and it has been wonderful watching through the years. Much love from America guys!
