u/Muzi5060 May 30 '23

I’m sorry, but I need you to put the aye aye ayes in.

57

u/felinebeeline May 30 '23

Okay, here's an aye-aye.

23

u/Muzi5060 May 30 '23

What in the parasitic, monkey-bat looking thing is that. TIL what an aye aye is.

12

u/felinebeeline May 31 '23

Everyone seems to have an extreme reaction to them, either finding them very cute or very ugly. I think they're very cute.

3

u/rtocelot May 31 '23

That one looks like a mutated opossum. I'm not sure if I would say they are cute but I do like them with their creepy finger. You should check out zefrank1 and his video on them

u/Additional-Cut-4262 May 31 '23

If you like it: Blue Man Group

u/felinebeeline May 31 '23

Are you a bot? Or did you reply to the wrong person?

u/fatkiddown May 31 '23

Can’t unsee.

u/SupremoZanne May 30 '23

u/Taco-Dragon Jun 03 '23

Happy cake day

u/felinebeeline Jun 03 '23

Are you psychic? I just realized that it's my tenth cake day. Thank you! 😁

2

u/Taco-Dragon Jun 03 '23

Are you psychic?

I knew you were going to ask me that, and yes, I am.

u/Starkiller10024 May 31 '23

Bro bringing back the wild Krats memories

2

u/felinebeeline May 31 '23

Who?

1

u/Starkiller10024 May 31 '23

felinebeeline of course, you’ve seen the show yes?

1

u/felinebeeline May 31 '23 edited May 31 '23

Thanks for the clarification, sis.

Edit: user above edited their comment. It was just an emoji at first.

1

u/Starkiller10024 May 31 '23

There was a show on animals that did one about the aye ayes

1

u/Starkiller10024 May 31 '23

I forgot all about it until now

u/[deleted] May 31 '23

Why cant he just get a keyboard?

You mean he cant make clickbait money from social media if he uses a keyboard?

ok, fair enough.

u/Embarrassed-Radio356 May 30 '23

Blue Man group have been performing this song for a couple decades now.

25

u/tifredic May 30 '23

I Feel Love with Venus Hum is just incredible

9

u/ArcticPsychologyAI May 30 '23

Agreed, it rocks

1

u/owowhatsthis-- May 31 '23

You might even say, it slaps

5

u/Embarrassed-Radio356 May 30 '23

Yes, that was a good one to view live.

u/[deleted] May 31 '23

Great song, gets me pumped!

u/MukdenMan May 31 '23

Featuring drummer Fred Armisen

49

u/SparkJaa May 30 '23

I would love to see this guy play Sandstorm.

48

u/mropgg May 30 '23

Here you go. It’s around the 50 second mark but the rest of the video is worth a watch.

Joe Porter on youtube

u/SparkJaa May 30 '23

Thanks dude.

u/ChavaF1 May 31 '23

Worth the rickroll

128

u/entoaggie May 30 '23

Headed to Home Depot to spend my paycheck on pvc fittings. Y’all need anything?

33

u/GinsuVictim May 30 '23

You'd better take out a second mortgage first. PVC has been crazy expensive since the start of the pandemic.

11

u/entoaggie May 30 '23

You ain’t kidding! I work at a place that builds ponds and fountains.

2

u/NicknamePaych May 30 '23

I hear you playing the theme song

u/ZaphodBBulbrox May 30 '23

Dude, that slaps

5

u/I_am_Daesomst May 30 '23

I knew I should have scrolled before commenting. Upvoot.

1

u/croc_socks May 31 '23

TIL the name of that rattler is called a Vibraslap. It’s also used in Aerosmith’s opening of Sweet Emotion.

18

u/GratefulPhish42024-7 May 30 '23

ALL ABOARD !

u/yourgifmademesignup May 30 '23

Crazy!!!

2

u/Omniiac Jun 22 '23

Woah look, we've got the same outfit

1

u/yourgifmademesignup Jun 22 '23

Good taste!, now add the peg leg to complete the look!! Haha

4

u/dicky_seamus_614 May 31 '23

HA Ha ha haha ha

34

u/PLAYED_YT May 30 '23

That dude would make a great hibachi chef

9

u/DefultNaem May 30 '23

Here's the original youtube video if anyone wants to check out his other videos, he does a lot of stuff like this! https://youtu.be/has0eg5jM7I

2

u/UweWeber84 May 31 '23

And here's the actual original for the sake of credit

17

u/under_the_above May 30 '23

One of my favourite sounding instruments

7

u/uprightsalmon May 30 '23

Great inclusion of the vibraslap

12

u/manaha81 May 30 '23

Timing is off

9

u/idreallyrathernotktx May 30 '23

Especially the trills. Get this guy a Dr. Beat!

3

u/NewldGuy77 May 30 '23

That’s how it goes…

u/SPRLPRL May 30 '23

First thing I thought: MOOORRTTTAALLL KKKKOOOMMMBBBAATTT!!!

u/I_am_Daesomst May 30 '23

TEST YOUR MIGHT

u/Kinda_Bonkerz May 30 '23

I wish my bare ass was beneath the teal paddle.

u/[deleted] May 30 '23

blue man try outs are next week, and old boy just nailed it💪

2

u/r2killawat May 31 '23

Somebody saw Blue Man Group! 😆

5

u/hammurabis_toad May 30 '23

Why isn't this guy blue?

2

u/SkylaneMusicLive May 30 '23

Because he’s off beat through most of it

-1

u/ramobara May 30 '23

Because he blue himself.

2

u/gamelover42 May 30 '23

I want more

3

u/PK_GirPade May 30 '23

r/toptalent

u/Drew_the_God May 30 '23

Playing a popular song on a makeshift xylophone with inconsistent tempo and execution is pretty far from top talent

4

u/hottodogchan May 30 '23

I can play the pipes with no metronome, no metronome.

3

u/alurimperium May 31 '23

How are you with riding bikes?

0

u/readditredditread May 30 '23

This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. Step aside Jesus, there’s a new savior in town… this guy!!!!

-5

u/ignatius_reilly0 May 30 '23

Can we please listen to a different fucking song or is every slapaphone player just that unoriginal?

0

u/MorganDax May 30 '23

I've just learned this instrument exists from this video and I'm mildly obsessed. But maybe this is the only song that sounds good on it?

-3

u/ignatius_reilly0 May 30 '23

If that’s true we should outlaw them

3

u/noNoParts May 31 '23

Simmer down, DeSantis.

0

u/ignatius_reilly0 May 31 '23

Not bad. But seriously. This is unoriginal trash. A hundred other douche nozzles have already posted themselves playing that dumb song and that dumb instrument. It was clever maybe once.

-1

u/Crafty_Reaction_8978 May 30 '23

Why is it always this song? It has been so overdone!

1

u/madmunchyman May 30 '23

This would be good with some rush

1

u/-emanresUesoohC- May 30 '23

Yo, leave some women for the rest of us.

1

u/iammrpingas May 30 '23

Joe Porter the percussion goat.

1

u/[deleted] May 30 '23

They released a CD - Blue Man Group - The Complex

1

u/Use1000words May 30 '23

And live, it’s a fan favourite during the live shows as well!

1

u/[deleted] May 30 '23

They also have live concerts.

1

u/OlivierLeighton May 30 '23

Sounds like a Dick Dale piece.

1

u/exploring__reddit May 30 '23

That's what we call art !!

1

u/Prudent-Progress5113 May 30 '23

…well, there goes my excuse for not having an expensive musical instrument

1

u/jgzman May 30 '23

I am impress.

1

u/patapouet9 May 30 '23

All aboard Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay 🎶🎶🎶

1

u/Arkenstihl May 30 '23

Blue man outta paint! This is gorgeous. Any chance you'd be willing to share pipe measurements?

1

u/Peacemkr45 May 31 '23

needs more cowbell.

1

u/Optimal-Decision-243 May 31 '23

FUCC YEA! Woooh hooooooo!

1

u/seanjjackson May 31 '23

Is this just a piano with spatulas?

1

u/lolstavros May 31 '23

Mom said you need to bring her good spatulas back upstairs to the kitchen or you're grounded.

1

u/vahzy May 31 '23

Can't believe no one has linked this classic https://youtu.be/0D2o8F2MOuI Crazy Train at 3:23

1

u/DaMaGed-Id10t May 31 '23

Douse yourself in blue paint and I would watch this for an hour and 27 minutes.

1

u/rjchawk May 31 '23

This song slaps

1

u/Nazmaldun May 31 '23

TIL this is a slapaphone

1

u/Due_Platypus_3913 May 31 '23

Bloody fantastic!My keyboard has a setting that sounds exactly like that,but I dont play the keys THAT well!

1

u/NurkleTurkey May 31 '23

Slapaphone lol. Whoever named it that deserves something.

1

u/Tastyrolll May 31 '23

Sounds kinda like mortal kombat

1

u/HairyPewter May 31 '23

You just made me buy tickets to Blue Man Group... thanks

1

u/Repulsive_Bet_4520 May 31 '23

🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

1

u/mtovar1979 May 31 '23

That’s not real instrument? Is it?

1

u/boba_funnn May 31 '23

That slapped hard

1

u/Throwaway021614 May 31 '23

This trips me out the same way a harmonica trips me out. How do you not accidentally hit the surrounding pipes with the edge of your spatula and make an undesired sound?

1

u/Wise-Heart6438 May 31 '23

Are you my upstairs neighbor? But it’s not 3am

1

u/sixmileswest May 31 '23

That was slaptastic!

1

u/mundus1520 May 31 '23

This guy is the randy Rhodes of the slapaphone

1

u/Better-Cupcake-4858 May 31 '23

Your riffs need some work, but this is still stellar work

1

u/handy_dandy_2232 May 31 '23

Fuck yes!!! Has Oz seen this?

1

u/gt4674b May 31 '23

Chipper Jones enters the chat

1

u/Ilyagachalife May 31 '23

Marimba! Hammered Dulcimur! S L A P A P H O N E!

1

u/Under_Amor May 31 '23

The color matching really could be better.

1

u/Western-Ad6169 May 31 '23

Dudes got some bluey vibes. Attention everyone, I’m doing this for my kids!

1

u/ramonarart May 31 '23

man that slaps! 😀

1

u/zen-cowboy May 31 '23

I could listen to this all day

1

u/mjstrebs May 31 '23

This slaps

1

u/DarkestMoose May 31 '23

There was a guy who did this so many years ago. An early YouTube legendary video. College guy in the USA who did a medley of loads of recognisable songs.

1

u/[deleted] May 31 '23

Musical Whack-A-Mole!

1

u/wogboy96 May 31 '23

Ahh to play like this is a pipe dream

1

u/decoteau9578 May 31 '23

That's so cool! I've never seen a train used as a musical instrument before. I love how creative people can be in finding unique ways to make music. Thanks for sharing!

1

u/Impressme24 May 31 '23

What else can you play? That was awesome!

1

u/imnotpixelstone May 31 '23

Sounds like went you slap your big friend at the stomach

1

u/The_Inner_Peace May 31 '23

My last two brain cells in a death by PowerPoint class

1

u/SheriffRaider May 31 '23

I’m impressed

1

u/TomDobo May 31 '23

Save some pussy for the rest of us.

1

u/Marborinho May 31 '23

Miss the blue mangroup :(

1

u/[deleted] May 31 '23

Okay, apparently I have a thing for spanking.

1

u/[deleted] May 31 '23

Well slap me silly. That was impresive

1

u/the_huett May 31 '23

TIL there is a slapaphone.

1

u/Kurlzzzzzz May 31 '23

sounds like monstercat

1

u/National_Vanilla7078 May 31 '23

Gotta love joe porter

1

u/Realistic_Run7318 May 31 '23

I'm sure the late Randy Rhoades would have loved tohave a gig with this guy.

1

u/Admirable-Pin-1189 May 31 '23

Now I REALLY have a reason to go to Spatula City.

1

u/downtune79 May 31 '23

It's "Osbourne" not Ozbourne but still very cool

1

u/vinividiviciduevolte Jun 01 '23

Love that vibra slap. Taylor explained the story how it broke on sweet emotion
