Head-first through 6ft Giant Water Balloon - The Slow Mo Guys
Ойын-сауық
It's Giant Balloon June! Gav shoves the slow camera inside a giant 6ft water balloon. Dan is on the outside. Can he make it in using only his head? Yes. Yes he can.

Giant balloon, Gavin laughing hysterically at "the funniest thing I've ever seen in my entire life," and Dan's package on full display. Yeah, it's June.
The image of Dan's face appearing in the frame fully airborne absolutely sent me, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time

11:12 That whole water sequence is one of the coolest shots I've seen!
That first attempt had me full on belly laughing to the point that i was shedding tears. Like Gav said even after all these years its still hilarious
The shot at 5:55 marries dumb and epic in a way I could never have imagined and it is now my favorite thing ever.
The sequence of setting up the camera, with Gav’s protective wardrobe, then Dan’s first, truly all-in attempt. Cinematic masterpiece.
Gav: "Oh am I in?" Dan: "Yeah you're in." Gav: "OH! I am in." - Dan: "I need four hands." Gav: "I can hold... I can give you one hand here." Dan: "Hold on." Gav: " I had to do this on my own last time." All accompanied by the sounds of liquid and exertion. 😂

I had to pause at 4:45, laugh for like 5 minutes, replay it, watch it frame by frame, and watch it a few more times. I haven't laughed that hard in so long. Scorpion is right! I hope Dan didn't hurt himself too bad. Don't forget you two are getting older, you could end up with a sore spot that lasts! Thank you for your commitment, though, Dan. Maybe it's payback for laughing at that old guy.
I love how in the first shot, Dan just absolutely did not need to run at it. He could have just started out on all fours and slammed his head down, but he chose to run at it and dive headfirst.
Dan is a LEGEND at the six minute mark. Just total commitment. Serene excellence. Art should be made to capture that moment.
Applause for Dan. There is nobody more dedicated to diving head first into stuff than him. The absolute dream team is at it again.
The warbled, panicked “Am I in?” “Hang on I’ll help you.” “Oooh I AM in.” … absolutely scandalous.
Dan enters the frame like a giant hairy salmon. Complete legend

That little "reveal" at the end when Dan is standing up is the perfect icing on the cake for this
8:38 synchronized hair tousle for some reason is so damn precious to me
Next year, similar idea, but instead of a Danicorn, you just place the balloon at the end of a slip n slide. This will enable Dan to pick up enough speed to blast through it AND have reduced chance (probably) of spinal injury!
That shot at 11:05 is INSANE

Gotta love a slow mo water balloon shot. It never gets old.
honestly impressive how incredible these shots were!! seeing the “ceiling” of water in the second shot and then the collapse of the spheroid into a flurry of droplets - seriously magical. wouldn’t be surprised to see this as practical reference in a movie.
i've seen every single one of these videos - i'm _pretty sure_ Dan slamming into the balloon like an ICBM might be one of the finest and most artistic shots in Slo Mo Guys history.
"Am I in?" "Yeah you're in" "Oh god I am in" This video is absolute gold 😂

You know, it occurred to me recently that Dan might be the single most photographed human in existance.

I think Gavin said something about that very thing in the past. Might be on the 2nd channel, maybe?
I think the coolest thing is at 11:36, while Dan is encased in water, if you look at the right side of the screen there are droplets hitting his "water skin" leaving ripples like a raindrop in a pool despite the fact that everything going on with every aspect of those moments is moving. His shoulder and the water encased around him have near the same velocity/direction, so the ripples spread around the curvature of his shoulder in near perfect circles like nothing at all was moving.
The fact that he came in from the top of the frame in the failed attempt is sending me. I wasn't expecting that level of commitment to the bit.
0:59 I love this bit where you use the slowmo shot of water through the hose as a transition.
It’s that time of year again, nice to have your videos as an escape from the world. Already looking forward to next years water balloon video
There is the thing that I would love to see you two film. I want to see hair stand up on someone's arm when they get goose bumps in slow mo!

I was already laughing from the dive but hearing Gav folding up with laughter in the background had me in tears, you made my day.
The level of commitment Dan puts into getting the perfect shot for these videos regardless of bodily injury is commendable!
