What is Rick Lax doing?

Rick stopped doing Math and started doing meth

pov: you're amanda and you're watching your husband slowly lose his grip on reality in the comfort of your own kitchen

My mom actually came up to me and showed me the flexible hammer video, and then proceeded to rant about how harmful the chemicals in Redbull are. That was the first time I seriously questioned my moms intelligence.

I used to wonder why my college required us to take a media literacy course, but everytime I see the responses to Rick Lax's videos, it suddenly makes sense.

Drew Gooden and John Mulaney: they both don't seem to know what tf they're doing and they're surprised they got married 98% of the time

Everyone gangsta until Rick lax breaks into your house pours redbull on you and then folds you

Technically, bread IS portable, but NOT teleportable. I mean, you can teleport bread, but it's highly disadvised.

Fun fact: Rick Lax was the first manager of Michigan fan favorite rock band Tally Hall, the band that introduced us to Rob Cantor of Actual Cannibal Shia Labeouf fame. Iirc, while Rick Lax wasn't the one who inspired cannibal, he was most likely there as they were helping their friend move when their other friend Andrew started whispering "Shia Labeouf" which inspired the song

The word "stinky" being said by a grown, married man in his own kitchen after spilling Red Bull and vinegar all over a hammer is the funniest thing I'll see in a while

My dad saw me drinking an energy drink and lectured me about how it can make a hammer bendy so it’s ruining my insides. Now I know what he was talking about but I’m disappointed that he thought it was real

I love how no one on Facebook ever stopped to think, "why the fuck would this ever work?" Especially the hammer one.

The fun of magic tricks is that everyone knows that it isn't real. When you know that somebody did this using skills that basically anyone can develop, that as magical as it looks it's really being done, it creates a sense of appreciation of what's being done. Magicians lie to you for the performance, sure, but they shouldn't really try to convince you that what they're doing is really what it looks like. The key word in "magic tricks" isn't magic, it's tricks. The problem with these videos is that the audience isn't aware of it being fake. They aren't watching this as a magic trick, they're watching it as a real demonstration. They can't engage it as a performance because they're being deceived. It just seems like it's calling the viewer stupid, assuming that they don't know that it's fake, as opposed to magic tricks which are so honest about being fake that they push the audience to be smarter, to stay alert and think and they just might figure out how it's done. These magic tricks feel like they're being done by someone who understands how you do them but not why you do them. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe they just expected people to understand and didn't think about it. But it doesn't seem like they've ever clarified that, so I can only assume that they know exactly what they're doing.

"facebook magician" is the worst word combination ever

The balloon didn't inflate because it wasn't red. Every chemist with a Phd degree knows this!

10:46 'wet baguette' is a masterpiece of a rhyme.

I said this once, I'll say it again: This dude actually fooled Penn and Teller, which means he can be a good magician, he just chooses to do this crap, which is even sadder.

“eye-opening Facebook and now I closing Facebook” made me laugh way more than it should have

"The hammer is wet, the kitchen is stinky, time to see if the hammer is rubber" -Drew Gooden's new merch

Me picturing Drew alone in the kitchen talking to a camera dumping redbull on bread before his mother inlaw comes over is iconic.
