Chiropractor: I’m just gonna make a small adjustment. turns 90 degrees *accidentally duplicates spine *
-
Michael could go clinically insane and no one would notice a difference.
-
Been watching this repeatedly for 8 years now and it never fails to blow me away. Peak YouTube and peak Sauce content.
-
Most YouTube videos are one time consumptions. Vsauce is that rare gem with rewatchability value.
-
Teacher: the test wasn’t that hard The test:
-
Feels like I've learned everything but nothing at the same time
-
the hyperwebster introduction made it all click. absolutely mindblowing.
-
"you cannot cut up a chocolate bar and finish with more than you started with.. or can you?" I immediately grabbed a chocolate bar because I know Michael's got me
-
Gave 1 star to Hilbert's hotel on Trivago. They kept shifting our room.
-
“countable means you can count them” is the only part i understood
-
This video is so nostalgic to me. May very well be my favorite on all of YouTube
-
Bro getting frustrated by 0's at 4:20 is HILLARIOUS
-
This, is just simply how a cobblestone generator works.
-
Cop: You’re under arrest. Micheal: Or am I?
-
Michael's mom: Micheal its bed time Micheal: Or is it?
-
I can't think of anyone who produces content that is more worth it to watch than Michael's. So much effort and passion are put into those videos that it's a crime not to watch them. Thank you VSause for making these.
-
Every time Micheal says “or can you” the universe reluctantly has to rewrites the laws of physics.
-
"Countable means you can count them" michael you are so wise
-
I will come back and change my comment in 10 years
-
I could watch any Vsauce video 20 times in a row and still learn something new every time.
