…a rube! If you have 13 minutes to kill, why not enjoy these wacky little Rube Goldberg machines built — where else? — in Japan. A few are really impressive, others are so-so. But how long can you last before that little song drives you insane?
If you only have two minutes to kill (speaking of Rube Goldberg machines), I’d recommend that famous 2003 “Cog” commercial from Honda, if you haven’t seen it. That’s truly impressive (or insane). The new Honda ad with the choir making car sounds is fun, but I prefer Cog.
Incidentally, Swiss “kinetic installation” artists Fischli and Weiss were upset about the Honda commercial, claiming it was too similar to their work in The Way Things Go. Here’s another of their works.
Mucho fun! I had more than a few minutes so I thought I’d peruse.
