Watching Jell-O Getting Hit By A Tennis Racquet Is Oddly Satisfying

What is it about Jell-O that is still so endearing to us? Is it its assortment of colors? Its gigglyness? Its ability to help us suspend other food items within it?

Or, perhaps we’ve kept the gelatin dessert around so long, just to see it getting smashed with a tennis racquet in slo-mo? I go with that last one.

The Slo-Mo Guys are here to do just that. After making a few gelatinous blobs, the Brits play a little Jelly Tennis. The results are beyond our expectations, as the jelly is slowly obliterated as it passes through the strings of the racquet.

This also becomes the only time that we wish there was stuff in our Jell-O. Please watch this…

Watch An Orange Explode at 62,000 FPS

For no reason whatsoever, you can now watch an orange explode at a frame rate that truly captures all of the pulpy chaos.

Brought to us by Slo Mo Lab, the orange is loaded with a small firework, and the explosion is filmed at 62,000 FPS. For those who have no idea what that means, it’s OK.

Just know that the camera used to do this is very expensive, and the filmmaker protected it from the explosion with a plastic Wal-Mart bag. Please enjoy.
