Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? I look forward to a thoughtful and considerate discussion jk DIE HARD IS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE! "Why", you ask?
1.) Christmas music
2.) Takes place during and/or around Christmas
3.) At the end of the day it is about the importance of family and being together. And murdering lots of people.


HAPPY HOLIDAYS my little casseroles of joy! Only one more episode of CYSTM remains. Check back Monday the 30th to see it FREE!

I just like the fact that they mocked YouTube, in YouTube original.

[stayinawesum]

Imagine if in the real movie the characters started spitting out random twinkie facts.

And they said Infinity War was the biggest crossover of the decade...

It's really annoying how these videos never show up and you have to go hunting for them

A wise man has said before:

"Attention, test prisoners attempting to escape through the air ducts. I don't know what nonsense you learned on TV, but in real life, air ducts just go to the air conditioning unit. It's also pretty dusty, so if you've got asthma, chances are you're gonna die up there. And we'll be smelling it for weeks because, again, the air ducts aren't a secret escape hatch, they're how we ventilate the facility."

Fun fact: The late great Alan Rickman had a look of genuine shock when he was dropped at the end, because he was told he'll be dropped at the count of 3, but they dropped him early.

I love how whenever a destructive experiment is shown with slow motion they always put some calming classical music in the background. Also Derek makes such a good villain.

It's hard being a badass in real life cus physics ruin it

Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie... it’s actually a Christmas _Eve_ movie.

[MrStraponJr]

This entire series seems to skip my sub feed, just came across it randomly as a suggested video. Gee thanks YouTube for hiding the single best channel in this joint

**Derek falling to his death**
Jake: *why're you falling so slowly?

[shanthishourya]

Could you survive die hard?
Me: Yeah, I watched all five of them and i'm still alive.

[dentjoener]

A Jake who loves Die Hard, sounds familiar...

[badreality]

This is Mythbusters, but with a plot, and each scenario condensed.

[MusicDecomposer]

Missed opportunity to have Ian eat a pink frosted sprinkled donut.

[SocuteRaptor]

So... Is Derek OK? Will he release any video on Veritasium later?

[brodieknight]

Oh boy, if I have said it once I've said it a million times. Ballistics gel does not represent flesh very well at all for anything but ballistics. Spine broken, neck broken. Not ripped in half. Skin is very strong.

“Bet he wishes he were a Twinkie”
*That’s a big Twinkie*

[themexologist]

John used his arms to absorb some of that energy. Also he didn't drop straight down, he jumped outwards causing a slight swing.
