Rube Goldberg, Anyone?
January 12th, 2008 by Erich ViethI really do enjoy these displays of gadgetry. Quite clever. I just wish I could read the little notes at the end of each episode–I assume I’m missing a good joke.

Marvellous example of Goldbergery. Like the 2002 Honda Ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2VCfOC69jc
Made entirely from parts of the featured vehicle and shot in a single take.

Rube Goldberg contraptions aren’t my favorite entertainment, but this one did have some imaginative mechanisms. Really though, this guy needs a girlfriend.

Come to think of it, maybe that is what the message is. “Slightly obsessive guy seeks easily amused woman.”

But Marlon, maybe a WOMAN built all of these cool devices, making her the perfect catch for gadget-obsessed guys.
And no, I’m not willing to take any bets that a woman actually built these devices, but it’s possible . . .

They also made this funny little bit:
