The Tube || Crapshots Ep697

Product development is rigorous.

[brossjackson]

I was going to suggest that even though we are open tubes, we do wear something to cover up one of the ends, and maybe a diaper of some kind might help the tube. But then I realized that Gregory is 100% Donald Ducking it below camera range.

Alternate ending: "So you're saying we should add a sphincter?"

[Bushipunk]

This reminds me of my favourite story from the Talmud:

A council of rabbis is gathered to determine whether a new type of oven, the halakha, is acceptable to prepare kosher food. One, Rabbi Eliezer, insists that the oven is ritually pure, the others disagree. Rabbi Joshua says, "That's one vote for, and twenty-two against, so the oven is impure." Rabbi Eliezer cannot accept this, and says, "If I am right, this carob tree will prove it!" and points to a shrub growing nearby, which prompting jumps out of the ground and runs away on its roots. The other rabbis are duly impressed, but point out that, while miraculous, this is not relevant to a question of law. Rabbi Eliezer replies, "If I am right, this stream will prove it!" and points to a stream, which begins to flow backwards. Again, the other rabbis are amazed by this miracle, but not convinced it means anything about the new oven.

Rabbi Eliezer stands and cries out, "If I am right, HEAVEN will prove it!" and sure enough, the clouds part, a beam of heavenly light illuminates the council, and the voice of God thunders forth, "Yeah, he's totally right, the oven is cool."

The gathered rabbis pick themselves up from the ground and dust themselves off, and Rabbi Joshua says, "Alright. That's two votes for, and twenty-two against, so..."

Anyway, Team Thick Yogurt, all day every day.

OMG WE ARE tubes unsealed in both ends. BEEJ IS RIGHT, PRAISE BEEJ!!!

[SephSays]

Whilst I am a tube open at both ends, I would like to point out that most of my important things are not in the tube-hole, but sealed in the tube-flesh. I propose pumping the plastic itself full of yogurt and leave the tube an empty void, screaming to be filled, as god intended.

[yumaikas]

Yay, new crapshot!

(Also, love seeing Beej lean fully into an unhinged character like this)

[ladambell]

I hadn’t realized until just now how much Beej reminds me of Denethor as played by John Noble.

[octochan]

Just throwing yogurt at the wall to see what sticks

[RaydenSavage]

We are very much self sealing on both ends of our tube bodies.

[Ahrpigi]

We are tubes unsealed at both ends... dear gods, we are literally You Tubes! Both are filled with questionable things.

[Glenport]

I'm so so so grateful to be seeing new crapshots. I've needed them so badly. Also, this is the first time I've seen Paul with my eyes in a very long time. He's been a disembodied voice in all my LRR content in recent months.

[irongears]

This was amazing. I love how something as simple a red light and beej's full send commitment to whatever bit he's doing can carry a sketch singlehanded.

I also love that they managed to get dripping yogurt in every shot.

[wolfpell]

I think the funniest part about this isn’t the whole Beej speech, but instead that this company tried to make a YOGURT TUBE

[ruke]

the solution is clear: give the gogurt a sphincter.

[agentofwheeled]

Was not ready for Beej to go full send, but not surprised that he did - and glad too!

[RabbitsFuhr]

Loved the phase "anyone else for long bag?" ... but also "tubes unsealed at both ends"

[raincoast_bear]

This is the role Beej was growing out his hair for.

[Straddock]

Holy shit, I haven't watched LRR for months. Last time I watched, Beej had a mullet. Now he's just embraced the wildman prophet.

[ASpaceOstrich]

Clearly the tube needs a sphincter at one end and I guess some kind of esophageal flap at the other.

Also, I see the tarp budget has been expanded.

[EngineeringVignettes]

We may be a long tube... but at least, at one end, the hole is smaller than at the other.
So that helps.
