Backyard Squirrel Maze 1.0- Ninja Warrior Course

Mark Rober - 2020-05-24

Squirrels were stealing my bird seed so I solved the problem with mechanical engineering :)

Here is an explanation of the illusion dish thing!- https://demos.smu.ca/index.php/demos/optics/69-mirage-mirror

Here is a link to the illusion dish (not sponsored :) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0718XCG7F/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_D9PYEbC85X14F

I started a company called CrunchLabs where we build a toy together and then I teach you all the juicy physics for how it works. So if you want to learn to think like an engineer and have really fun time doing it, check out the current promotion where you get 2 FREE boxes at https://crunchlabs.com

You should also go subscribe to the CrunchLabs YouTube channel cause we’ve got some bangers in the pipeline- https://www.youtube.com/crunchlabs

Thanks to these folks for providing some of the music in the video:

Phantastic Gus is my spirit animal.

I love your channel so much!

Ghfg - 2020-05-24

showtimetroy3356 - 2020-05-24

Wait.. How did you comment this 1 hour ago when the video came out 1 minute ago?!!??

Rakesh - 2020-05-24

good job mark

Oblivion Union - 2020-05-24

lets be honest, when we clicked on this video we never thought it would be this good.

Peter - 2020-05-24

i was worried he would hurt the squirrrels, nice video

Orane Isaacs - 2020-05-24

Honestly 😂😂😂

Experienced_Noob 42 - 2020-05-24

Its Mark Rober. Of course it would be

0 X - 2020-05-24

Those squirrels exceeded my expectations along with the video.

Glad - 2020-05-24

Ive been subbed for a long time ik what im getting into

This is my 2nd time watching already

JollyBee - 2023-04-30

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Phat Gus ( the pregnant female? ) Despite being pregnant, that squirrel is still jumping and running around all over the place like it’s nothing. That’s truly incredible.

Bob Johnson - 2023-05-22

Apparently there's no maternity leave for squirrels!

renee - 2023-05-25

Maternity 😂 leave

Devolutionone - 2023-06-01

That's why she always rest flat, she's saving energy, so cute and smart.

Craig Davies - 2023-07-10

phanta gus

Adam Plona - 2022-12-10

A whole season of squirrel ninja warrior would totally be watched. Thank you for everything so far.

Dwane - 2022-12-18

Cool

James Voth - 2023-03-13

yes

Purl - 2023-03-23

Glad there’s still a couple people watching this in 2023

Ivan - 2023-03-26

The squirrels are so pretty funny 😂

Cynthia Carr - 2022-12-21

This is probably one of the best YouTube videos I've ever seen. Great job

GamingBren - 2022-12-31

I totally agree

D Stain - 2023-01-17

Yh this is so amazing and impressive

immie - 2023-02-01

;)

Alex B - 2023-02-18

Naw this is not "one of the best"......this IS THE BEST.

InfxnxteDyliqht - 2023-04-06

@Alex B absolotely

Newday24 - 2022-09-11

This is far better than a documentary you’d see on the discovery channel

miinyoo - 2022-10-27

Yeah. It has a soul.

Sunnier Day - 2022-12-11

The squirrel picnic table is awesome, so cute! 😁

Maurice Bijleveld - 2020-05-28

Neighbor: The squirrels are really becoming a problem.
Mark: Yeah, I've been training them with a special obstacle course.

TheOnlyWoda - 2020-05-28

Hahahaaa

lax - 2020-05-28

LMAO i also loved how he said paint me like one of your french squirrels

Thomas Buddingh - 2020-05-28

Neighbor: The WHAT

ToreDL87 - 2020-05-28

Another Youtuber whose area is flooded with squirrels solves that problem by using air rifles on the critters, incredibly effective.
But I have a feeling that won't come across very well on this channel! xD xD

Prill - 2020-05-28

Astrid Explorer - 2023-01-04

After watching all three parts, Animal Planet or Nat Geo Kids should ABSOLUTELY hire Mark to create a show like this. It is brilliant, hilarious and heartwarming, plus encourages engineering/STEM. Kudos to you. Mark!

Lori Rios - 2023-07-01

Five stars Fantastic job in your filming, narrator, layout, execution, & ...your film shows all the many talents it takes to create such entertainment, really fun to watch Thank you

Niki - 2022-12-03

i love how you put so much love and effort on every video you make, kudos mark!

TheGtagtr - 2022-12-24

Yup his videos are awesome, if you like pug dogs, there's a video on my channel of a pug screaming very loud!!

Vanessa Handa - 2023-02-21

I’m going to prank my mom with those pug sounds

Micetticat - 2022-09-19

I rewatch this video once in a while. It always brings me so much joy!

Marion - 2022-11-07

So do I! It's just a positive, interesting watch.

Drachen Heiser - 2023-03-26

Same

kreiseltower - 2023-04-29

I had a bad day and I'm here now for my 3rd time. Its getting better now.

Cynthia C - 2023-03-05

This was sooooo wicked!!!!! I loved the squirrel course, I loved the picture booth and like a cherry on top, I absolutely loved the mini picnic table!!!! Everything was off tha hook Mark!!!

Samantha Valdes - 2020-05-26

I would literally watch a whole season of Squirrel Wipeout.

gung - 2020-05-26

Your on to something here

Brian Cows - 2020-05-26

Woah woah wash he’s gotta point there

Olivia Walsh - 2020-05-26

I'd watch that on discovery channel fo sho

Definitely NOT a Genocider - 2020-05-26

Oooohhh... Interesting

Vasudev Raghav - 2020-05-26

What we need :
1.Squirrels
2.Miniature Ninja Warrior sets
3.Some cameras
4.Walnuts......lot of them

Doug Ching - 2023-03-09

This has to be my third time around watching this video; it is just so amazing to watch these four legged critters go thru your " amusement park." They probably had more fun doing this than jumping through their trees since it was so new to them.

Partyboy Danny - 2023-06-23

This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever watched! Thank you!

Squirrel Theater - 2022-12-07

Awesome concept, implementation and execution. You’ve gotta love the little goofballs! 🐿

Veronica Yepes Moreno - 2022-11-03

That picnic table 😍 I’m totally building one for my squirrel friends. I also have 4 fellas, including a baby one, feasting on my garden. And a patrol dog to keep them in line 😅 Thanks for such a cool video!

kayla2cool4u - 2022-12-16

I watched 2.0 in science for fun and now I’m obsessed!

GamingBren - 2023-01-06

I watched 3.0 first, just after I heard about this channel.

Azer Draco - 2020-05-29

Moral of the video:

Squirrels are smarter than the average package thief.

Planet - 2020-05-29

yes

Plazma - 2020-05-29

I don't think those things qualify as smart.



Edit: (I meant Package thieves)

8 Ball - 2020-05-29

Spence C. They’re definitely clever

Movies Hub 4K 60fps - 2020-05-29

s4nd_m4n_ - 2020-05-29

@Plazma You're right... theyre genius.

karen - 2022-09-10

Loved this so much. What a genius putting this all together. Thank you.

dan sloan - 2023-07-17

Dude you're a genius! I've seen so many of your videos, but this is probably my favorite!!! Thanks for making me laugh!

Loretta DeBourbon - 2023-07-09

This absolutely awesome! Somehow I lived vicariously through you in these moments!
Squirrels are amazing, glad you appreciate & interact w/ them. Thanks for sharing their unique talents & superpowers. Also, very cool of you to design this awesome course! Best Wishes to you & the family 🌰🐿 ☺

Kathleen Mann - 2022-12-17

You have a great imagination. Love your videos. Squirrels 🐿 are pretty smart. 😸😹

Emiliya Renegar - 2023-01-13

This video is absolutely hilarious! I never had so much fun and was laughing so hard while I was watching it. Mark, you are probably working somewhere as an engineer. If not, you definitely have to find the position that suits your abilities and creativity. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Phillip2423A - 2020-05-25

A squirrel sitting at a tiny picnic table is the cutest thing I've seen.

Tatiana Lily - 2020-05-25

Not when they push your friend's birthday cupcakes off the picnic table and on the dirt floor. Lol but they are cute not doing anything.

LUCAS BLZ - 2020-05-25

@Tatiana Lily who hurt you

Was it the squirrel

frnz klmmr ll - 2020-05-25

DC has dem super rare hairless tail squirrels

teja.redden - 2020-05-25

Tatiana Saravia I mean ur not wrong but jeez who did hurt u 😂

haHARROOP - 2020-05-25

Phillip2423A until fantastic guss comes along

Music Matters - 2022-10-06

Mark Rober, you are brilliant! This was so entertaining and I must thank you for filming this. Now I have a greater appreciation for the squirrels that jump from our tree onto our roof. It used to irritate me, but now I love these critters.

Gidgemo - 2022-09-22

Mark’s kid is so lucky. Coolest dad ever!

Nate Williams - 2023-07-13

The gold digger plush and the mini squirrel table at the end had me dying laughing lol

L P - 2022-10-25

This series has to be some of my absolute favorite stuff on the web hands down!!! GO PHAT GUS!!!!

sandeep saurav - 2022-12-19

Rad - 2020-05-24

Now i feel like i know these squirrels personally,

speediskey - 2020-05-24

Yeah I'm gonna miss em

Marcos Amparo - 2020-05-24

Ekselent - 2020-05-24

I want a pet squirrel after this video and I want Mark to build a squirrel playground for them

Sheree Modica - 2023-06-02

This is the best video ever. Round of applause for not only your ingenious obstacle course skills, but your love of the animal. Great narration. Again. The best video ever.

Nicole Laliberte - 2022-10-29

This was an absolute delight to watch

Roaring Mouse - 2022-12-02

You are a beautiful narrator, story teller, human being.

Kali S - 2022-12-22

Yes, yes, yes..numero uno on my all-time favorite squirrel video..my daughter immediately sent it to me. I wish we had an update on the new squirrel babies. They should've been born in your backyard..what better place to be?!🥰😘

Cahangir - 2023-03-21

This is my personal favorite on this channel, thank you a lot for putting this much effort into this video. Entertainment at its best!

Air Command Rockets - 2020-05-25

Meanwhile ... 17 squirrels learned to raid Mark's fridge between 6am and 10am while he was being distracted by 4 of their mates.

FloatingOer - 2020-05-25

It's like a heist movie, showing only the four distracting squirrels until the end where there is a big squirrel reveal on how the real heist was actually the fridge and a montage of how they pulled it off

Spydie - 2020-05-25

over the hedge anyone?

Sohail 604 - 2020-05-25

600th like

exploitpatrol - 2020-05-25

Omg that is so funny

Lucas Vitullo - 2023-01-01

Paige Edgley - 2023-05-15

You're a beautiful soul looking after your birds. Seems like your squirrels are extremely clever!! and agile, they're gorgeous, wish we had them here. 🐿️

Scorpius - 2023-06-09

That was one of the cutest videos I have watched in a long time! I like squirrels ! They are incredibly smart and athletic, some of those jumps were amazing! They are fun to watch!
Thanks for the video! 🦂🥂🐿🐿

Gold Thumb - 2022-09-24

That was a great video thank you for the time you put into it.

paj gard - 2022-11-07

Best squirrel video ever! Your cleverness knows no bounds.

Sammas - 2020-05-24

Imagine Mark's son in the future asking him for ideas for the science fair

Melissa Peterson - 2020-05-24

Marks son or daughter will win EVERY science fair.... EVER

Isaac Akhigbe - 2020-05-24

Underrated comment😂

He already has a whole video on science fair ideas

super guy man - 2022-10-03

I first saw this when it first came out then became a fan and started to create stuff and this video started my passion for engineering thank you mark rober you are the best.

Disha Brahmbhatt - 2022-12-17

Was the best video I watched all day !! Really made me happy ❤!! I discovered a new side of squirrels

Danielle Perry - 2023-06-20

You are a genius, this was so creative, entertaining and hilarious 😂

Chuck_Duck - 2020-08-10

I like how he talks about the squirrels like they’re speedrunners.
“A solid run”
“A time under 40 seconds”
“A near perfect run by Frank”
