Default Rube Goldberg’s Blue Balls

Those old enough to remember Tom & Jerry cartoons are probably familiar with Rube Goldberg machines.

For those of the younger persuasion -

“A Rube Goldberg contraption is a complex, deliberately over-engineered machine designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and convoluted way. Named after the American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, whose illustrations depicted such whimsical machines, these contraptions typically involve a series of chain reactions, where one action triggers the next in a long sequence. The result is often humorous and demonstrates the principle of doing something in the most complicated way possible.”

And this brings us to the new safety video that follows blue balls through a UA branded Rube Goldberg machine. I’m so proud to be part of a team that suggests “we’ll get you from paint A to point B in the most complicated way possible.”

I’m sure you would have found a way to complain about it regardless of the content.

Hmmm...🤔

This thread has much less of a sexual element to it than the title suggested.

Just fly the plane and cash your check. I don’t give a crap about the safety video. People don’t pay attention to it anyway.

I found it on the Youstube. I like it. I was desperately waiting for them to update the safety video, which has been the same for like 10 years. I love the mass of dominos at the exit lighting part.

Airline safety videos can be crigne in general. This was pretty good. The new uniforms look great.

They had several variations but the one with the car was amazing.
