  • - Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.

  • Welcome to "The Super Slow Show"--

  • Dan, we've done mousetraps.

  • - We've done mousetraps. - We've done rat traps.

  • So what's bigger than a mouse and bigger than a rat?

  • - Oh, a bear. - A bear.

  • Right, okay, I see how you've stepped up there.

  • So we've got a bear trap, we've got the spin rig,

  • and we're gonna get the hell over here

  • because this thing terrifies me.

  • Yeah, I don't wanna get annihilated by that arm.

  • - I'm just gonna go way... - I'll follow your lead.

  • Yeah.

  • ( theme music playing )

  • Curious to see how powerful this is

  • against an actual bone,

  • an organically grown bone.

  • So its actual purpose, then, basically,

  • rather than, like, things it's not supposed to be crushing.

  • - Yeah, yeah, okay. - Luckily I have a bone.

  • - Turkey leg. - Yeah, well, a turkey leg.

  • Gav: Imagine, if you will,

  • am entire turkey leg.

  • Ignore this part.

  • This is a turkey.

  • Who strayed into the forest.

  • For some reason, it's already been marinated.

  • - Barbecue. - All right, go for it.

  • Oh! Jeez, that is quick.

  • Good night, it's dripping.

  • Oh, it's juicy.

  • Let me just try to get my leg out.

  • ( grunting )

  • You can hear it. The meat is squealing.

  • - That is-- - No, it's just not gonna happen.

  • That is-- That you're not getting out of that.

  • I think we've demonstrated successfully

  • the power of this bear trap.

  • Yeah, for sure.

  • You know, I got the dream of drams.

  • Put these on.

  • Doubt they're gonna help you, but all right.

  • Well, you know.

  • - Let's start the spinner. - Spinner up.

  • ( whirring )

  • What if you were hit by that thing?

  • - Like being hit by a car. - God.

  • Orange soda-- all ready to go. Loaded up.

  • That thing is hauling now.

  • - Dan: Ready? - Cameras on.

  • I'm gonna have to time it. And... now.

  • - Ooh. - Nailed it.

  • - Oooh, flip. - Lovely little puff.

  • Gav: Poor thing doesn't know what's about to happen to it.

  • Dan: Here we go. Here's impact.

  • Ready...

  • - Dan: Ooh. - Gav: That looks lovely.

  • Looks like bullet-time orange soda.

  • - Very hypnotizing. - Dan: Yeah.

  • Dan: It reaches the apex, and then it's just floating.

  • Just got balls floating.

  • They are so weird. And then you've got the air

  • sort of coming up under some of these globules.

  • - Oh, look at that. - The globs are really far apart.

  • You can really tell the spin.

  • That's amazing. I like it when there's--

  • Oh, there's us.

  • Oh, I didn't wave. I meant to wave.

  • You had a lot to think about.

  • I did, yeah.

  • Let's go for a reset.

  • So I've only ever seen these bear traps in cartoons,

  • where they, like, get a stick and they test it or whatever.

  • It just looks so terrifying.

  • It just looks like something nobody should be near.

  • Well, I'm used to setting mousetraps, right?

  • So this is definitely--

  • I'm even sure I can watch it.

  • Are you sure you're doing it right?

  • 'Cause it looks brutal.

  • - It is. - Like, I'm already picturing a gruesome...

  • Right, so this gets lifted.

  • - Okay. - All right, good.

  • - And now it's set. - All right...

  • - Now we can-- - Don't put your head in it.

  • That's got about 6 to 900 pounds of pressure,

  • which is about the same as a bear's jaw.

  • Do you get the irony of it?

  • Yeah. The tension on that is beefy.

  • - Yeah. - Which is pretty cool.

  • And the tension between us...

  • I bet a bear trap would eat two cans of paint.

  • - Yeah? - Eat 'em right up.

  • - For breakfast? - Right.

  • - Well, let's find out. You ready? - Yeah.

  • Three, two, one...

  • ( hissing )

  • - Oh. - Ooh.

  • I got orange, right?

  • Purple was the other one.

  • Yep, purple and orange.

  • It was a Rimmy Tim.

  • Just sort of chewed it open. Didn't it?

  • Just floating-- paint cans.

  • Gav: It's so surreal, this footage.

  • - Dan: Oh... - Gav: Man.

  • Dan: Just gets eaten...

  • Gav: It's cool how you see a thick paint

  • in the middle and it's misting at the side of it.

  • On to the next thing?

  • Why don't we do something solid, something that will shatter?

  • Ooh.

  • I've got a mirror loaded,

  • one by one foot.

  • Camera's hauling ass.

  • - Is... pretty-- - Okay, I'm gonna drop.

  • Now!

  • Now.

  • Now.

  • ( together ) Oh!

  • - Success. - Devastating mess.

  • What I'm glad about is that it shattered

  • into loads of pieces, rather than just, like, four pieces.

  • That's just what I was after.

  • Oh, there's us.

  • Here it comes. Here it comes.

  • Oh...

  • ( both imitate shattering )

  • Gav: Lovely.

  • That's cool.

  • Pretty good, eh?

  • Spitting bits of glass going everywhere.

  • Lovely glittering mess.

  • Dan: Look at that.

  • Good variety of things been chomped there.

  • Yeah, I think one of the scariest moments

  • from anything we've ever filmed

  • was watching you put your hand in a bear trap.

  • I know you were just setting it, but--

  • Do you know what I did? I enjoyed having my hand in there

  • and watching your face just be like ( groans ).

  • I'm glad. I'm glad you got--

  • And you get enjoyment from me worrying about you.

  • That's the last time I'm worrying about you from now on.

  • Oh, come on.

  • Well, this is what it would've done to my arm anyway.

  • Look at the state of this?

  • Would've made a mess of a leg.

  • That's one of the teeth from the bear trap, just chomping in there.

  • One of my favorite things we chucked in there was the mirror.

  • - Oh, yeah. - Just all the smashed glass

  • 'cause the tiny pieces kept reflecting stuff.

  • It was like a deconstructed disco ball

  • spinning around.

  • - Well done. Good, good, yeah. - Thank you.

  • Well, I hope you enjoyed that,

  • and we'll see you in the next video.

  • - There was sumo wrestling. - The magnet smash.

  • - The ice sculpture explosion. - Three-stone smash.

  • Yeah, that was really messy.

  • I wonder. What's your favorite?

- Hello, I'm Gav. - I'm Dan.
