5 Taiwanese foreign Youtubers attempt to break 5 World Records... Probably one of the most fun videos I've filmed! Join me, Prozzie, Lukas Engstrom, Wes Davies and Francois Devatine in Taichung as we try and set 5 different world records.
If you think you can do better than us in any of the challenges then please feel free to send us a video of your attempt!!
A group of YouTubers in Taichung, Taiwan, attempt to break five different world records in a series of lighthearted street challenges. While they don't officially break the records, they come remarkably close in several attempts, focusing on entertainment and camaraderie rather than professional competition.
Wow, that's loud.
No running!
My heart is actually racing.
Me too.
Why am I so nervous?
She ate 15 M&M's.
That is the most exercise I've done in a good few years.
Okay, yes. Hello everybody and welcome back to My Life in Taiwan.
We are going to have an awesome fun video for you today.
I know I've made a few relatively serious political videos over the past couple of weeks.
As well as a couple of drunken live streams.
But today is all about YouTube fun.
And joining me, I've got four of Taiwan's biggest, most celebrated, most famous, most...
Adjectives please. Adjectives.
Handsome.
Gorgeous. High.
Bullshit.
Let's quickly take a look at who we've got.
What's up? My name is Prasit. You've seen me before on his channel.
I'm a bit of a dick.
Hello everyone. I'm Yan Yan. I'm a foreigner.
Lucas Engström from Sweden.
Wes Davies. I live down in Kaohsiung. Happy to be here in Taichung today.
So yes, as you've already seen in the title, this video is all about breaking world records.
We are going to be breaking or trying to break five different world records out here in the street in Taichung.
We are going to be popping balloons with our ass.
We are going to be eating M&M's with chopsticks.
We are going to be...
Shaving cream.
Oh yes.
Coming at the very end, a video that I saw on Dude Perfect's channel.
Catching ping pong balls on your head using shaving foam.
All coming up. Going to be a load of fun.
Hope you enjoy it. Let's get to it.
Let's get to the first challenge.
Okay, so we are going to start with the first world record, which I found on some random website somewhere.
The most leapfrogs...
I'm a bit of a dick.
The most leapfrogs in 30 seconds.
So, for those of you that don't know what is a leapfrog, I'm going to give you a perfect demonstration from our two competitors today.
Lucas and Francois.
I think I've definitely chosen the right people for this world record.
The most athletic, the most fit, the most healthy.
Yeah, I pity any guy that had to be leapfrogged by me.
We are going to leave it up to timekeeper Wes.
Timekeeper Wes, when you're ready, you can count us down from 3, 2, 1.
And then we're going to see the most athletic display of leapfrogging we've ever seen in Taiwan.
I'm actually super nervous right now. I don't know if I'm alive.
Nervous?
Yes.
First time.
No, I've been nervous lots of times.
3, 2, 1.
Goodness, what a sterling effort. What a sterling effort.
Guys, you have two thirds of a world record.
Yeah, 66% of a world record.
With zero training, being told that they were going to do it about four minutes ago.
We just learned what a frog leap jump was four minutes ago.
How do you feel?
Good. It's quite tiring actually under this weather.
Yeah, it's a pretty intense exercise.
But yeah, I think the final number was 23.
66% of a world record.
Not bad for a couple of YouTubers who learned to leapfrog four minutes ago.
And we're going to get straight into the next world record.
Okay, so a great effort in that first challenge despite a failure.
Good effort by Lucas and Francois.
And we're going to go straight into the next challenge,
which is eating M&M chocolates with chopsticks.
We're going to put our chopstick skills to the test.
And for this one, we're going to see if we can get all four of the other guys to compete
and see who can eat the most in a minute.
Let's get to it.
The secret is don't panic.
Yeah, just stay calm.
I think Wes has got the...
Wes, do you want to explain your technique over the Taiwanese version?
Well, what we realized is if you hold it very close to the bottom,
you have a lot more dexterity and control.
And one of the things is don't panic, just stay calm.
And then it's pretty easy to actually pick them up.
What's your strategy?
My strategy is to just not do it because it's dumb as ----.
So yeah, I'm going to make her do it.
I need to get my...
Do you like chocolate?
If we're predicting winners...
I'm a bit of a dick.
I feel like a real YouTuber.
My heart is actually racing.
Me too.
Why am I so nervous for these challenges?
Okay, are we ready?
I'm going to count you in.
Okay.
Three, two, one, go.
Let's take a look exactly at what the numbers are.
Francois, how many left?
36 left.
So Francois ate 32 in one minute.
I ate 30.
30.
Oh, 30, yeah, of course.
Okay, Wes?
I have 34 left.
Which means I ate 32.
Which means you ate 32.
Angel, how many did Prozzie eat vicariously through you?
51.
Left.
That's it, Angel.
She ate 15 M&M's.
I feel like you should apologize to the people of your country for letting them down with
your national utensil.
And Lucas, how many do you have left?
I've already left, so I ate 26.
You ate 26.
So we have 50% of a world record from Wes.
Okay, so maybe no success in the second world record, but definitely lots of fun.
On to the third record, which is going to be bursting balloons with your ass.
Let's see how many you can burst in a minute.
Okay, so right behind me we have about 50 or 60 balloons.
The original plan for this challenge was to have two teams operating against each other
with 50 balloons each, but whilst blowing up the balloons...
Whoa!
Perfect timing.
We lost several balloons in the process, so it's going to be just one team.
I, myself, am going to be bursting the balloons with my ass, and I'm going to get the others
to help me work together to make sure they're underneath me.
45 balloons in one minute is the record, so we're going to try and go for 46.
Should be fun, should be tiring, but at least I've got my beer here once it's finished.
Let's do it.
Right, so here we go with the balloon challenge.
I'm going to be the balloon popper.
I'm going to have two feeders behind me.
So, when we're ready, let's get to it.
I'm going to burst there.
And there.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
You're going to do a little swivel.
Yeah, so they're ready.
Timer coming in.
You're ready.
Yeah, 60 seconds exercise coming up for me.
On your mark.
****!
Did anyone count it?
Wait, let's go.
Holy ----!
Where's my beer?
I'm just checking I pressed record.
That is the most exercise I've done in a good few years.
Oh my goodness.
I'm still a little bit out of breath.
And we just watched it back on Prozzy's cell phone, Prozzy's phone video.
And I think it was only 42.
I think that's a fail.
I think, we think.
We'll check back in editing, but pretty damn close to a world record.
It wasn't 95%.
Yeah, but what's 42 over 45?
96.2.
Yeah, 96.7% of a world record, but so much fun.
On to the next one.
Fourth and penultimate world record attempt for this one.
Everyone is going to be getting involved.
We are going to be seeing if we can break the world record
for the tallest stacked tower of marshmallows using chopsticks.
So we're going to set a time limit of two minutes
because there's no actual time limit on this world record.
We're not going to sit here all night and try.
But here are five YouTubers from Taiwan
using their chopsticks dexterity to stack marshmallows on top of each other.
There we go, there's four.
There's four already.
This is a world record!
So there's five, so that's a world record.
And it's windy.
Right?
Right.
Ah!
There's five.
Ah!
Five, four, three, two.
I think we're going to check that on the camera.
Ta-da!
Five, four, three, two.
I've come to talk with you again.
Prozzie! No Prozzie!
I'm a bit of a dick.
That's my beer.
On to the reason that I actually wanted to make this video.
I saw a cool Dude Perfect video of a shaving foam Marge Simpson style hat
that I really wanted to try.
So let's get to it.
Shaving foam, ping pong balls.
Do I need to say more?
A two.
One.
Go!
Count how many are in there.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, twenty-four.
Five.
That's a world record!
Yeah!
Done!
I'm a bit of a dick.
Oh!
How are we going to clean that?
Yeah.
Just wash off like soap, right?
At least you're going to smell fine.
Okay, so I am absolutely covered in shaving foam as expected.
Absolutely no idea if I made a world record or not.
Prozzie broke the rules a bit at the end with a few balls thrown at the same time.
I've got shaving foam on my face.
I've got to go home, wash this off.
But I think that's the end of this video for now.
Thanks to all of these guys for their help.
Thanks to Lucas.
Thanks to Wes.
Thanks to Francois.
And thanks to Prozzie's representative on earth, Angel.
Time for me to say goodbye.
