this video caused a LOT of drama on some of the steampunk creations forums out there. Not so much that he was making fun of them as much as a lot of people are touting this video as legit and not a joke.

Is it bad if I can't figure out how that's supposed to work?

@cyborgtroy: Agreed, how on earth does that thing work?

it's called "a joke"

That's a joke, son. You're built too low. The fast ones go over your head.

It's a Steampump... for yer weiner

New TV Show...You've been SteamPunked!

I didn't find that particularly funny. It's obviously a french coffee press just from the screenshot displayed... We get it, Merlin, you don't like steampunk

The toughest part about making one of these is telling your Dad your Gay.

@cyborgtroy:
@ab3:
you'll understand when you're older

[comment option number 2]

Go ask your father.

@nutbastard: hah.. option 3:
go ask your mother

@AqueousBeef:
the screen mesh is WAY too large to be a coffee press.

@AqueousBeef:
hey as long as you're here, WTF is up with saying im five foot seven?

The lower level of Macy's are full of guys like this...

haha wow "Leonardo Da'Vinci" of jerking off lol

I believe I just heard the term "masturbatory sketchbook" for the first time.

Does this guy watch his own videos at all? I stopped watching after one minute because of the over-usage of "uhs" in his speech, and because of how fast he was speaking. Parody or not, I find it unwatchable.

you know... some Saskatchewan seal skin binding would really help in attaching that thing to your body

That just made me horny for a nice French Roast....

@nutbastard: I asked my grandfather, figuring he is the best source cause he actually made this long before Merlin did.

fuckin' gold

@outsdr: It's not a Toastmaster's meeting, for cryin' out loud. It's a comedy sketch.

Come to think of it, I need a speech for next week's Toastmaster's meeting... this could come in handy (no pun intended).

@outsdr: Yeah, Merlin isn't the best at public speaking. Listening to some of his "43 Folders" podcasts can be a bit distracting at times.

@outsdr: But, he does know his stuff, and is still funny...

@ps61318: I just looked at the Toastmasters International website, pretty cool.

@ps61318: (sorry if this is a double post) I just checked out the Toastmasters International website... really cool.

@tamoko: Awesome organization, lots of fun, good people, and mad public speechifying skillz development. What more could one ask for?

Been involved to one degree or another for a LONG time, and I still learn things.

@nutbastard: lol, you looked a good 5-7 inches shorter than me, at least with all your baggy clothes on. I'm around 6' 1". Maybe it was just the clothes?

there's a reason he's the mann... simply golden...

Great! Now I have a way to masturbate my wooden-brass penis.
May I add the ladies love the steam action.

Uh...did I miss something? I thought this was supposed to be funny, not someone desperately trying to be funny.

Why is it that masturbation seems to allways be linked to males? cum on where is the equality..

Anyway I would like to point out that there was a real cool victorian masturbation device for females back in the steam era called a hysteria machine.

I finally got the Art Is Anal joke.

ROFL

Amazing how some people are impervious to satire: "Is this real?"

And I'll say it again: Enough with the damn steampunk already.

that looks more like a tea maker.

I don't see how this would work for masturbation, the construction doesn't make sense in that purpouse.

The sad fuckers who didn't realize this was a spoof the minute he said his glasses were made from Jules Verne's desk annoy me more than this video. Do you guys even know who Jules Verne is?
Also, this wasn't amusing in the slightest. This man is not funny. The video is not funny and the subject is not funny.

Watched it all the way through. (Which, with my internet-devastated attention span, is a high compliment.)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to kill a whale.

Sometimes it's a hoot to be an old man here. (like 50 is old these days.)

That's a friggen MAYONAISE MAKER. I saw the pic and said to myself "what's he holding a mayonaise maker up for"?

My mom gave me one a few years ago to try and sell on Ebay. It'has the instructions right on the side of it, like a Bell jar, those ripples you can see in the side are them.

Anybody want to by a bridge, or some WW2 jeeps found on a remote Pacific Island? How about an ZAP automobile? ;D

@DJrock3k: Now its been modified to be a "Man Mayo Maker".

"Is it bad if I can't figure out how that's supposed to work?"

Yes, it means you have scruples. You should see a doctor immediately.

What no demo of this thing?!?!

WTF?

@misterwho, cyborgtroy
"Yes, it means you have scruples. You should see a doctor immediately."

Alternatively join the rest of us corporate drones - where a ethicotomoty is part of the initial entrance interview. Quick easy and painless, no doctor required :)

What the hell is Teamspunk? errr Steampunk? ;)

@Curves: Yeah, that hit me also just after I pressed "submit"
Cheers!
