On a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host welcomed two special guests who brought some exciting and explosive Halloween fun to the chat show. Science Bob Pflugfelder, known for his science-themed entertainment, joined forces with comedian Tiffany Haddish to showcase some mind-blowing experiments.
From the start, it was clear that this duo was ready to bring the house down with their scientific prowess. Science Bob explained their mission to turn everyone, especially kids, into engineers, inventors, and innovators. With their collaboration at Crunch Labs, they aimed to make learning entertaining and inspire kids to make their imaginations a reality.
To kick things off, Science Bob and Tiffany demonstrated a simple yet impressive experiment involving sharp knives and newspaper. With caution in mind, both guests held knives with their blades facing the ceiling. Science Bob then placed a loop of newspaper on a wooden dowel and instructed Tiffany to swing the dowel and strike the front of the looped newspaper. The expectation was clear—the sharp blades would tear through the newspaper. However, to everyone’s surprise, the newspaper remained intact while other components broke. It was a thrilling and unexpected result, showcasing the wonders of science.
But the excitement didn’t stop there. Science Bob had concocted an explosive vision for Halloween. He designed a derby filled with balloons attached to wires, except these balloons were not filled with helium—they were filled with hydrogen, a highly flammable gas. Remote-controlled cars armed with flamethrowers were set to race around the derby and pop the balloons. The catch? The flamethrowers’ ammunition were flamethrowing jack-o’-lanterns.
With the introduction of the flamethrowing jack-o’-lanterns, the tension in the room rose. Jimmy, Tiffany, and Science Bob eagerly awaited the battle ahead. Jimmy was assigned to the orange balloons, while Tiffany teamed up with a crew member named Guo to aim for the white balloons. As the countdown began, adrenaline pumped through the room. It was a battle of flaming carnage as the remote-controlled cars raced and flamethrowers blazed. In the end, Guo emerged victorious, popping the most balloons in an explosive display.
As if that weren’t enough, Science Bob had another surprise up his sleeve. He had built a contraption involving a 19-gallon high-pressure air tank, a barrel, and an apple as a projectile. With the air pressure over 100 PSI, the apple would launch at incredible speeds, smashing through a pumpkin with ease. Tiffany, eager to experience the power of Science Bob’s invention, pressed the big red “fire” button. In a split second, the apple shot into the pumpkin at a mind-boggling 400 miles per hour, leaving nothing but destruction in its path.
Jimmy Kimmel Live was transformed into a science laboratory on this memorable Halloween episode. Science Bob and Tiffany Haddish brought a unique blend of entertainment, education, and explosive experiments that left everyone in awe. Their collaboration with Crunch Labs aimed to inspire the next generation of engineers and innovators, showing that science is not only thrilling but also a gateway to creativity.
With flamethrowing jack-o’-lanterns, explosive pumpkin smashings, and mind-blowing scientific demonstrations, this episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live showcased the endless possibilities when it comes to merging entertainment and education. Science Bob and Tiffany Haddish proved that science can be fun, exciting, and a source of endless wonder.
