the horror!

someone who can edit should defiantly make that

The slow-mo School of body modification 🤣

Good point! LOL

If they were deviantart users they might find something awakening in them

I saw this so now it's the first thing I expect to see lol.

Did not expect to learn that Stretch Armstrong has a tiny pee hole.

Why? They do things like this all the time. This is nothing new or unexpected.

Looked like he was about to give birth lol 😆

Reading the words "a water logged Stretch Armstrong" was the last thing I expected to read

The injection mold for creating the skin would have a sharp angle where the crotch is, which would make less rubber collect at that point vs cavities like the hands and feet which would collect more rubber. Hence why the hands and feet barely inflate at all and the crotch area is the weakest.

Nah. It has to be something to do with the formation of the item itself. My money is that that's where the injection is for the mold's lower part.

I think it's just where there'd be the most tension on it

Oww... they jam the syringe into his crotch

Why the crotch though

In return of that weakness; peeing

yep

That's a brilliant insight, it definitely explains why this was more than a coincidence. Makes me wonder, what if they got their hands on a stretch that hadn't been filled up, would he have blown up even bigger? Though I'm guessing based on how strong the material is (I honestly didn't expect it to be that strong), probably the new weakest point would be where they cut it for the hose? (Not 100% sure since it kinda boils down to how the zip ties mitigate that, or other stuff like that...)

I bet your mum was not much pleased

I bet your parents were super pleased too 😂

I believe it's corn syrup in there, I can't imagine the cleaning process, and rip your hair at the time.

Sounds like you might of been dreaming and your uncle woke you up.

@@ThatBugBehindYou yes, you’re right. It’s gelled corn syrup.

Hey Kurt! I still remember your collab with Gav :)

They stretched him from the inside bro

Taking a break from traveling to the edge of the world?

Wow I didn't expect to see you here! :D

At 46? Jfc

How did it taste?

🤨

@@matthewnienkirchen8083 You should also buy some of these toys for people who cannot afford utilities. Do something good for once you know?

@@buriedwords Nah, people like that just nag, they never actually do a single good thing in their lives. The people that do the most good in this world, don't act like him.

@@matthewnienkirchen8083 wait a minute, I literally do everything you just said word for word. Wow, what a small world we live in! If you want a recommendation on a soup kitchen let me know. I can hook you up with some good ones that need help. I also run a few of my own :D

SAME! I scrolled down to the comments thinking "surely SOMEBODY else has to have seen this, right?" and there was disappointingly little. But Gav pulled through!

@@LeonardoMastrogiovanni perhaps because it was pointed out in the video, less people felt the need to comment with "I can't believe they didn't notice/talk about..." I was gearing up to make such a comment myself before the cut to the edit suite. It was hilarious.

@@coryman125 lol literally just made a comment about it. Actually made 2 because I replied to my own when I saw that the same exact thing happened on the second burst. Seems like he has a weakpoint right in his crotch. He does a little wee and then he explodes :D Im only just now seeing them comment about it when editing

Hahaha I am so glad 199 of us noticed that and all had the same idea

Yes

Indeeed

Legendary SloMo Guys moment indeed

It's the "ohh" after the leak that got me laughing

Agreed. Hilarious

i had the same thought. i was stunned by the last shot

No one noticed the crotch peeing

Underrated comment

crazy how we can already say something was from "the mid 2010's"

focus seems the easier part, it's nailing the exposure (especially with fire and explosions) that blows my mind. He's able to combine technical expertise with childlike creativity which really is the best combination.

Barely make a dent? Sadly, this video alone will make more than I do in a year on disability.

@@Dan-Simms no, you got that wrong. it's good that it makes him money, nothing sad about it. your income is the sad part, especially if it's small because of a disability. but that is not related to what they make with the video, so it shouldn't be mixed in the same comment.

@@Dan-Simms probably not tho. KZfaq generally pays around $1000 per 1m view so unless this goes very viral I doubt they will outpace disability income

@@Dan-Simms I think he meant it's not costly to make this kind of video. Not much money spent on 4-5 toys to destroy. Compared to some of their grander projects.

The choreography was spot-on in a LOL sort of way.

The glorious music built up even more suspense in an extremely satisfying way.

They still make them in the original 15" size, but mostly, they sell the smaller version. The trunks are all painted on now, though, whereas the original had fabric trunks.

And Dan does all the filming and editing too would be great

One of the "Super Slow Show" episodes came quite close

Dan takes Gav in a military style survival series for two weeks.

But then we'd get terrible footage since Dan doesn't know how to use the camera 😂

That would be amazing

YES!!

Absolutely!

Super clear and slow footage of the test tube rockets Nile did would be amazing! I think I even commented that on his video 😂

I highly recommend this video by thunderfoot about metallic water kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMqqZJuax76bonk.html

Surely he must be approaching National Treasure status 🇬🇧

Definitely not for the likes and subscribers and youtube money.

I think its cool too that he's had that same lab coat thru all of it.

It's for science!

@@Xhopp3r Which he gets from people watching his videos. Because they're entertaining

Multiple of them on a trampoline and Dan below them!

@@christophpoll784 Now you're talking!

How about he gets inside one? 🤣

​@@BasenjiAdventures Oh that would be so good! Cut off the head, empty the insides, and have Dan climb inside of it! Gav! Dan! MAKE IT SO! I mean, it wouldn't make it, it burst open before it reached 1/4th of Dan's size but who cares, it would be so funny!

It could also be where the goop is inserted during production

@@gbyt034 If it's still made as it was in the 70's (I had two then Stretch Armstrong and Stretch Monster) the fill point is in the neck, hidden by the plastic head.

Repeated Crotch Devastation- Metal Band from the 80s?

or they pricked it with a pin, explaining the streaming leak

I think it has something to do with the inconsistencies of the coloration of his bottoms. When it gets inflated you can see that there are spots that are darker and I think that they impregnate the silicone skin with a blue color and that makes microholes.

"leaking hole" being the key phrase here, naturally

I’m glad someone else noticed it before they brought it up

@USCG veteran Christian gamer 1977 If you can't see the subtle hints of body horror that's implied and/or the visual similarities to actual real-life physical deformities, then you have an extremely limited, vanilla sense of humor and no f---ing imagination to speak of. And, btw, I had an amazing childhood. I not only had a Stretch Armstrong, but I had and played with, the kind of toys that have long since been considered way, way too dangerous to be sold for kids today. You have no f---ing idea.

@USCG veteran Christian gamer 1977 Huh? The imagery is clearly slightly disturbing (yet absolutely hilarious). That doesn't mean their childhood was bad lol wtf are you on about.

@@thespankmyfrank Thank you.🍻

What was disturbing about what happened in this video?

@@thespankmyfrank what was disturbing about the imagery?

The nostalgia was palpable in this one for sure

I liked how the water maintained its shape!

It probably looks like chunks of metal disintegrating.

if you must know, it's just REALLY REALLY small parts of metal being shaved off, like i'm talking tens of thousandths of an inch. They don't explode in mid air, they just rapidly cool and thus seem to "disappear"

Each metal has a different spark feature(they have to be ferrous to spark) so copper brass aluminum will not .

@@ScrapFatherScrapSon but titanium will

Unfortunately it would be a lot like the glitter video. The compression on KZfaq wouldn't let you see to much.

Wasn't there another toy similar to Stretch Armstrong where you could connect a pump to him and he would get super stiff like sand but without the pump he was rubbery.

@@chamoo232 Yeah, that was Stretch Armstrong's nemesis Vacman. He came with a bike pump that made him stiff and stretchy.

Well they started selling stretch armstrong toys again, probably just grabbed some of those?

@@Primucron weren't the originals made with some metal in it?

@@brandonlatzig No clue, they're before my time

@@brandonlatzig no metal in them afaik

It's because the rubber/latex perishes in time, especially under UV light. This leaves the corn syrup to fester on surfaces, stinking and ruining them.

I don’t get it

@@razorwolf2758 Stretch Armstrong became an League Of Legends player, and you know how they show them as obese people

@@YourNormalProgram dont give me flashbacks from that, those were the days before i directly hooked my pc up to the wifi router to stop rubber banding

yeah, I reckon it's a pressure release point.

Or maybe part of the manufacturing process? Quirk of the mold or something.

@@BensBrickDesigns That's my first thought on this actually. Wouldn't be surprised if that's the point where the material gets injected into the mold.

a safety feature makes no sense, you aren't supposed to pressurize them like that, so no safety needed.

@@moos5221 i was thinking the gel may become a gas at high temperatures. Just speculation though.

That was my first thought and it seems hilarious that they fill him up from there lol

Yeah, I saw the same thing. Broke at a small needle hole.

Such a miniscule hole and such a viscous fluid would mean, that it would take ages or immnese pressure to fill, which doesn't make sense as it could be very easily filled from the head since it is not one piece. But I can imagine that the filling is some sort of polymer gel that is filled unpolymerized through the head then the head is fixed and then the polymerization is done inside the body so that the gel takes on that shape and "wants to stay that shape" and the tiny hole is where they injected, fittingly placed, the small amount of polymerization starter needed for that. That's at least my guess.

I think they must fill him from the head. That hole would be too small. But, I bet they have a small hole there to let air escape as they fill him from the head.

@@justfortheoption Apparently it's filled with a "proprietary gelled substance similar to corn syrup" so I doubt it uses polymerisation. It's likely just filled from the head, and perhaps the tiny pinhole is used to extract trapped air from the toy, or some other similar purpose? It could also be a defect as a result of how the latex rubber skin is manufactured.

this is so funny

It's the Stretch Armstrong Mafia edition 😄

@@gregwright6281 "That's a nice set of limbs ya got there. It'd be a shame if anything happened to them."

sad to see such an amazing channel fall off so terribly

rip grant :(

I miss Grant. He a was a hero to the community. Forever in youtubes hearts.

Has it come to pandering for attention in the comments of popular YT'ers?! TKOR is dead. Karma for Callie and Nate.

This channel needs its verified status removed

Watch to the end

you'd think it would be inserted through the neck before the head was put on, but your theory sounds the most logical

The diameter of the needle would have to be tiny to only show at maximum inflation. In turn you would need an extortionate amount of pressure to push a viscous fluid through said needle. More likely to do with the construction of the body itself.

@@W1gglePuppy you make a solid point.

@@LuvLikeTruck I was wondering if it's say the location of the input nozzle in the injection moulding process. Then I thought its probably blow moulded. Maybe there's just a slight defect in the mould, tiny bur or bump that creates a natural weak spot.

@@W1gglePuppy A tiny needle might be adequate to remove air/bubbles after inserting the filling via the neck hole, however....though I don't imagine air bubbles in there would even matter very much.
