A new NatGeoTV show I found.
Hilarious and painful to watch at the same
time. “What went wrong and why.” And “Don’t try any of this…” There is
always a disclaimer at the very beginning and throughout the entire
show.
Seth Herzog is funny to begin with and then he improves
for each clip-the outtakes are included during the ending credits. These
are just as entertaining as his intro's as there isn't always context.
This show is a
compilation of YouTube videos of epic fails from around the world and the scientific
explanation of why it failed, what law they weren't following (such as
Newton's laws of motion) and an example of how it should have worked, as
completed by a professional.
Not bad for 30 minutes of “
oooooooo, nooooooo, that looks like something is broken” and “wow, how
stupid can you get?" and "why would you record that AND THEN put it on
the internet?"
Sigh and laugh, it really is funny and educational.
Here is the description from the NatGeo website: "On the Science of Stupid, some self-selecting, amateur scientists go
head-to-head for the crowned title of most ill-informed as they test
scientific principles like torque, gravity, and Newton's laws. As our
amateur scientists have learned the hard way: try and break the laws of
science, and the laws will break you. It's the science of stupid." (http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/shows/)
