Giant 6ft Water Balloon - The Slow Mo Guys

Watch this one in HD! The slow mo guys are well aware that water balloons are always good in slow motion. In this video, Gav and crew try (and fail many times) to pop a 6ft giant red balloon.
Slow motion is between 2500fps and 1000fps.

This is without a doubt one of the most classic videos on YouTube.

Amazing that they had already found *the* perfect slow motion sound at this point, and they still use it 11 years later

2:10 The way his shadow *faded away* to provide the cleanest transition - these guys are the best to ever do it

Dude I was 13 when this came out...and I still remember all the one-liners...all the lil giggles. The methods, the freeze frames, the cuts...it all comes back to me in real time every time I watch it. I miss the simpler era of the internet where we all just wanted to ask "what if" questions and laugh about stupid things.

I was 11 when I first watched this. I am currently 21 and I can’t believe how much nostalgia this gives me!

2011: Exploding a balloon in slow motion

2019: Watching light travel at 10 trillion FPS

Rewatching this in 2021, I wonder how Gav’s brother is doing these days.

[Haiburidu]

watching this in 2022. Watching Gavin come all this way is awesome. Much love to this dude, to Dan and all the people that helped him get there

[Averna]

Two things I forgot:
How skinny Dan was
Gav used to take part in the shenanigans

[HuntMeDown]

The fact that Gav kept his socks on at the end still haunts me almost 10 years later

[retrohipster]

The consistency over the years is really something. 😂 The only difference is the quality of the camera and how young and adorable they both are in this. LOL

[ffl]

This one video accounts for nearly 10% of this channels views. Amazing considering how prolific these guys are and the quality of some of the other content in this channel.

[moxis]

When this turns ten years old, do this again. Bring Gav's brother to the states and do it all again.

[ChRickenbacker]

The fact that Gavin did this all in his socks just shows he's from a different planet.

[HelloWorld]

Who is here after the new balloon splash video?

[jadodavo]

I remember watching this in the womb. I’m now retired after living a long life. Brings back the nostalgia

[Daijyii]

*That nostalgic 2011 intro where only cool people had it.*

[theslowmoguys]

Thanks so much to everyone who helped get this video to 100, 000, 000 views. If we keep this up we'll be at a billion by 2051! <3

2:30 After watching this whole video for probably the 10th time, I've only now realised how close Gavin's foot came to slamming into the ground.

[Hacktheplanet_]

I remember watching this before the i joined the Mongolian conquest and avenged my family's honour. Brings back the memories it really does
