Daily Drop: Television

[The Lugz]

these guys don't seem to get that curved glass is about 600x stronger than flat glass.. they did the same with the micro light-bulb

in fairness, these tv's are designed to be hit with a hammer.
( yes really, its the first test they get in the factory, go google it! tv production is wieeeeeerd as movie-bob would put it. )

you guys really need a wreaking-ball, just get a chain and dunk it in a vat of cement for a few weeks
use that to mash things that are too stubborn!

'Edit'
OR better yet, get two steel balls and a chain, and declare 'BALLS OF STEEL'
then watch all the nuke'm fans explode! do it do it do it!!!!!!

HEALTH WARNING:
LLR Crew,
Old TVs like the one you used in the daily drop have a cathode-ray tube filled with poisonous gasses. As a result companies made it very difficult to break the glass so nothing would leak out. I think the hissing sound we heard was some gasses escaping. We don't want your videos to come at the cost of your health!

nukes can, indeed fail people forget this!
I vote a nice long radio and gamma radiation exposure followed by a lithium / thermite fire as a backup to nuke.. it's nearly as destructive, and available on a far smaller budget!

 

[Danoloto]

Television will never die. At least this one won't at any rate.
Laughed at the crowbar shrug. Very well done. Drop 150 already? that's about 300 minutes of daily drop, and I watched almost all of them. What have I done with my life?!
Oh well, good fun at any rate

 

[Croaker42]

Had a TV like that.
Got it on the second try with a 4ft 1/2in lead pipe....... My tool of choice.

Good drop but I am a little disappointed. When a tube TV goes its a beautiful thing that should not be denied the escapist fans of Daily Drop.

 

[MasterSplinter]

Peter Gabriel is asking for it!

 

[copycatalyst]

They don't make 'em like they used to. Just ask anyone who's let their Wiimote get out of hand.

 

[loc978]

Wow.
CRT TV-4
Daily Drop crew-0

Should have brought out a splitting maul.

 

[The Random One]

TV SCREEN... OF THE GODS

This episode should've been prefaced with 'Let's get Dangerous.'

 

[WouldYouKindly]

Ever consider a sledge hammer? Or a splitting(relatively blunt) axe? Dammit, now I wanna break something, where's that old printer?

 

[mikespoff]

Wow, that is a tough TV.

Bring on the sledgehammer! The crowbar might not cut it, but a 14-pounder will do the job...

 

[Elementlmage]

Woah Woah! There is a plan B should the crowbar fail?

Regardless *clap* Not only was that the largest and heaviest thing you drop but once again it shows just how tough the retro products were unlikethe nice but fragile flat screen TV.
So bravo to the old stuff for I salute you!

You've never taken a sledge hammer to a plasma screen have you?

 

[Tetranitrophenol]

TV wins!, flawless victory

 

[Adimos]

I think that last drop did more damage to the cinder block than too the TV in question...

Damn...

 

[sneeky033]

GOOD LORD, MAN! IS YOUR TV MADE OF ADAMANTIUM?!

 

[NezumiiroKitsune]

What the shitting dick nipples, to quote Cr1TiKaL. How in the name of Cthulu did that just occur?! I get it surving the short drop from the ladders, but the crowbar hit it point (I know not the technical term for the end of a crowbar) first twice! Here are my emotions about this depicted in interpretive punctuation: !'?!"',!?!

 

[dex-dex]

damn! they made televisions so hard core.
also no chainsaw?

i was thinking more along the lines of sledgehammer, but a chainsaw would do nicely

actually theres a thought, the daily chainsaw massacre.

I am more interested seeing it in slow motion.
and sledge hammer? why did I not think of that?

 

[lacktheknack]

Come on, guys! You didn't take a bazooka to it yet!

 

[CrystalShadow]

Wow... I didn't think Vacuum tubes were quite that sturdy...

And so many things about that were epic.

Firstly, the editing mess which conclusively show that the crowbar swing footage is 'stock' footage, because the actual crowbar impacts were at completely the wrong angle, and the crowbar at the wrong orientation for the leadup swing to be at all related...

Secondly, the crowbar failure shrug was one of the most hilarious things ever.

And the sheer unexpectedness of a cinder block... And the fact that it STILL failed...

(First time ever there's been a second escalation of tools used to destroy something.)

Well, that was definitely full of surprises.
