jimmy fallon is so carefully inoffensive and wacky that his entire character might as well have been created by committee
he's like if anne geddes were a talk show host
He probably wouldn't be quite so bad if he didn't do his weird little milquetoast laugh at every single one of his fucking jokes
meanwhile
EXEC #2: Hey, I love a clever parody as much as the next knucklehead, but will the children even understand a majority of these jokes?
THE ANIMATOR: No, they will not.
[…]
THE ANIMATOR: Animaniacs will not make sense to them now. It will make the world make sense to them later.
[Silence, but for EXEC #1’s barely-breathed ‘narf’]
THE ANIMATOR: In the past there were no divisions between children’s and adult entertainment. Everyone sat ’round the kerosene lamp reading The Leatherstocking Tales and everyone at the trading post made the same puns. But in our PG-13 age, who’s going to introduce your daughter to essential Americana, if not the Godpidgeon?
EXEC #2: I mean, maybe she doesn’t need to know about organized crime just yet?
THE ANIMATOR: Cultural literacy is an Always food, my friend.
EXEC #2: You’re saying that ten years from now, a young person will watch The Godfather or read Freud for the first time and realize that the Viennese shrink archetype in their minds was actually from Animaniacs all along? And the mumbling mafia don and the plot of Les Miserables and the fall of the Tsars? That the show will act as a sort of contextual membrane through which kids absorb quintessential images that will one day render direct source material more accessible, and that the cultural déjà vu they experience when they encounter said material will recur throughout their adult lives?
THE ANIMATOR: Quite. Research indicates that 90 percent of this generation’s cultural associations will have been shaped by Animaniacs.
You guys are being way to harsh. Jimmy Fallon is fine. Not great, but hes fine. And so is Chris Hardwick. Actually I like Chris Hardwick.
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.
That doesn't look like something one should be touching with bare hands.
"If complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards'."
Skin is a poor conductor of heat. You can touch super hot and super cold materials for a second or two before it damages you. Plus the moisture on your skin in and around your skin and the item will protect you briefly.

That makes total sense to me from the heat side of things, as I'm constantly barehanding stuff in the pizza oven. I guess I was thinking more from a "tongue stuck to the flag poll" perspective. Learn something new everyday.

I was waiting for them to mistime their boost bounce and the kid to just collapse.

from the kid's tuck position and the fact that he lands basically exactly where he took off, I get the feeling he does gymnastics or diving or even trampoline.

Yeah, the kid knows what he's doing for sure. From his takeoff I would bet gym and not tramp specifically. Of course you pretty much have to force the rotation like that on a garden trampoline even with help, but the way he's leaning back on takeoff is absolutely not how you're trained to do it in proper trampolining. I'm amazed he managed not to just travel off the edge of the bed.
The timing is what's really impressive; it is really easy to fuck up a trampoline boost bounce and completely kill the momentum of whoever is jumping. Unassisted double back flips aren't that difficult, and multi-backflips are actually easier and safer to land than front flips since it isn't a blind landing. He does a good job of maintaining upwards trajectory and not throwing himself backwards into the flips, which leaves him with plenty of time to fully complete the rotations. His form is pretty good throughout, though ideally the legs should be closer together with the hands on top of the knees, instead of the spread squat position with the arms "pulling" the back of the knees, but that's a common issue when going for a triple so whatever. Nice controlled landing too; he would have probably stuck that if it wasn't, you know, a trampoline.

And yeah, it's 3. Watch the number of times the head returns to the top of the screen.

This seems like the kind of thing you'd trust in a little too much and really burn the shit out of yourself.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

I can't tell if it's three flips or four.

It's definitely three. I thought four at first, but watched it a ton of times and I'm pretty positive it's just three.
Which is still insane and rad as heck.

This was my favorite thing to do. It was hilarious to see a beautiful jump get ruined when the trampoline came back up to meet them on their descent.
It is four.
