1:39 when the two of them both showed their false teeth was cute

"I quit everything I ever tried"

LOL

One of them said "normally you don't talk with strangers in ballpits". Well that's the thing. Children do. Some of the best friendships are with strangers in a playground for a few hours until your mom takes you and you never see the person you just played with ever again. And yet when we grow up we do not do that anymore. We do not connect with other people, not even for a short while. We forget that everybody has a story to tell and we forget how to listen. That is sad.

This was amazing! Sometimes we all need to just get off of our phones and make a friend, go make someone smile, serve others or just do something that will benefit others whether you know them or not because you don't know who they are or might be. You could maybe change their life just by being their friend! I challenge all of you to go out sometime this week and make a

The whole world needs a giant ball pit to sit in...

[YasiaAliyah]

I wonder if the teeth people got to see each other again (:

[crazedchinchila]

The woman that said Martin Luther king gave me chills. Because you don't even see them as different. It's just two people and skin colour doesn't even come to mind. Love this video!

[ThatTinyHuman]

my teacher showed the class this video today and now we are doing it with other students we don't know, it's entertaining for me.

[RonAnecdotes]

I bet if I had sat in there I would've been alone for two hours looking really pathetic... and lonely...

[Knailz]

I'm sure most of you people who are thinking this is so amazing & awesome have had someone approach you at some point in your life to try to get to know you in some way, but you rejected their initiation of conversation. Don't deny it. You know you have. Myself included.

[StephanieManley]

Oh, this is lovely, charming, and this will put a smile on your face.   #aww  

[ssgearmyveteranforever]

This video brought tears to my eyes. I love it! If more people took time to connect with strangers the world would be a much better place.

Now, here's the twist: YOU DON'T NEED THE BALL PIT!
Insane right?! Go try it out!

[TheRookie]

This is pretty cool experiment. There should be more ballpits in the world. Where people could meet different people and see the other persons point of view.

[Rahmspinatkeks]

I love how all the people who are open enough to get into that ball pit have a great time while the others miss out on it...it perfectly shows how life goes...if you don't try things you will walk by and see the others having fun instead of having fun yourself...also I love the stories of those people who have all been through some moment in life where they changed their perspective so that they now know being open to get in that ball pit is great :)

[brianacherry]

That really touched spot on my blood pumper.

[peterm]

I gotta admit, this is one of my FAVOURITE youtube videos of all time, seeing two people who barely know eachother forming a bond together setting a side their differences and celebrating their common things really touched me, this was a good thing they did. OMG MAKE A SECOND ONE!!! :D

[diariesofapossessedboy]

okay but the blonde drummer is really hot... just me? ok...

[skyew]

This is great. We forget that the people we pass by on the street, in traffic, at the mall, wherever - they're PEOPLE. Each one has a complex and intricate life just like yourself, with a past, secrets, regrets, people they love, things they'd like to do.... when you start to notice that, develop an awareness of it and start to see more than just another face going by... that's where compassion is born.

[lovedathi]

When you sit in the ball pit and nobody joins you... What do you do?
