I think that these are probably special effects.

1. There are two different toothbrushes.

But we don't ever see the toothbrush put in the pocket. It's possible it appeared there spontaneously. Please make the appropriate corrections as needed.

The pathos of toothbrush is undeniable.

Sausage falling over is my undeniable favourite. No idea why, but it actually made me laugh out loud.

Thanks for the post, codacorolla, really needed this today.

For some reason, I was expecting these to be videos of a monkey doing odd things with a toothbrush.

I am disappointed.

Toothbrush tapping mug gets really boring about 25 minutes in.

He cheats during some of the "objects falling over" ones. He blows them over. It's not called "guy blows sausage over," it's called "sausage falling over." This ruined my whole day.

It's not called "guy blows sausage over," it's called "sausage falling over."

This is just the point. It's a meditation on agency and how agency is shorthanded in linguistics. A sausage cannot fall over on its own, yet this is what we say--as for the blower, is he really the actor, or just a proximate cause? The sausage succumbs to gravity: like everything else, it is ultimately the passive subject of a force that it cannot see, cannot negotiate with, a force that will ultimately destroy it. This is about death, and the universal feeling of falling forever. It is consistent with Schnöölehelettelettö's other early work

I do not believe that owl is real.

I want a real owl.

I recommend enjoying the title of the video "Oxygen and potassium went on a date. It was OK". I do not recommend the video itself.

I can only give the toothbrush hitting mug video 3 stars. He never changed sides of the mug. He did move it up and down the one side so the tone did change a little. I also thought the mug could have shown more emotion.

Lately I have been watching a lot of "dumptruck FAIL" videos. I highly recommend the "crane FAIL" videos as well.

Nevin: Tried watching the 'crane fail' videos - at first pretty funny. Then I realized that I didn't know if people were getting hurt/dying in those videos. There are some pretty scary ones out there.

The whole "FAIL" youtube genre has been splintering for a few years now... Dumptruck and Crane fails are the newest rage. Me? All I need is a good FAILBOAT.

I am enjoying this title from here.
