Imagine making a "yo momma so fat" joke to Michael, then he goes on for 15 minutes explaining how yo momma is larger than the observable universe.

12:34
“It keeps going and through outer space.”
“Which of course brings us to Australia”
WHAT

[mememammoth]

Starts on height
Ends on photons and immortality

[fishgarage]

these videos are timeless, so fun to watch even after almost 10 years. so much respect for you michael, youve been a big part of my childhood

[ruairimurphy]

1 minute this guy could be talking about kangaroos the next minute he would be talking about how much centipedes eat

[markfindley]

I like how he says blue whales “like” swimming in the water as if they had a choice

Me: "How tall can a person get?"
Michael: *"In space, no one can hear you scream"*

[pinkietastic]

"Your light - your personal glow - isn't really bounded... by anything."

Thanks Michael. I don't know how you always turn scientific topics into inspirational messages but it gets me every time.

_sniff sniff_ "Do you smell that? It might be… you."

“Girl you are glowing, literally.” Can’t wait until I use this one in a bar and then explain this whole thing to a poor girl while drunk.

[yes-egib]

Came for the height limit of a human, left with an existential crisis

[zora]

At 7:30 When he said no one will hear you scream, the music disappears.

2:10 - "We are likely to hit a ceiling"
Literally the best pun ever.

[IsaacRoyer]

"The tallest man alive was 8 feet tall-"
Ten minutes later
"Frogs can see individual photons" okay Michael

[kadevanry]

Me: How tall can someone actually be?
Michael: Frogs can see you glow from the edges of the universe.
Me: Oh, okay, so tall

[lDontExist]

“We are likely to hit a ceiling”
-vsauce, master of accidental puns.

[yaklin]

"so how tall are you?"
"eh, about 26 light years"
"???"

[squidud]

How to record a vsauce video:
Step 1: get super high and write down every question you think of while high
Step 2: sober up and do all the research

Title: How Big Can A Person Get?
"Hey, Vsauce! Michael here! 10cm"

well that's all the info I need

[NickAndriadze]

Can't be a Vsauce video without a very interesting question, a proper but slightly generic answer, and then expanding upon the question beyond comprehension with a few topic diversions and then an extremely inspirational message in the end. Seriously, that's kinda the general layout of most if not all of Michael's older videos, and I'm all for it.
