Rube Goldberg Videos
A Rube Goldberg machine or device is any exceedingly complex apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very indirect and convoluted way. It first appeared in Webster’s Third New International Dictionary with the definition, “accomplishing by extremely complex roundabout means what actually or seemingly could be done simply.” The expression has been dated as originating in the US around 1930 to describe Goldberg’s illustrations of “absurdly-connected machines”. Since then, the expression’s meaning has expanded to denote any form of overly confusing or complicated system.

Thanks for the in-depth list of Rube Goldberg videos. I’ve watched a few of them but have bookmarked this link to watch the remaining. I’ve seen the fire contraption and Honda commercial videos. The Honda commercial video is just awesome, and I watch it on repeat.
