[Jory:] It's a VHS tape
Why the hell would you want to microwave it?
I don't know, I don't ask questions
But if you were to stick a VHS tape in a microwave
what would happen?
Let's find out on, 'Is That a Good Idea to Microwave?'
(♪) Are you ready for this?
Let's do it
I wonder how long it takes to microwave this
Two minutes
Ventilation is key
Oh, gee
Safety is our number one concern
Yeah, I think we're on fire
No one likes fried junk
Bad idea? Possibly
Stopping! Stopping!
Is it a good idea to microwave this? (♪)
Here in the Jory Caron Laboratory
security is the number one concern
That's why we hide behind a tinfoil barricade
'cause we don't want to fry our nuts
[Laughter]
No one likes roasted nuts
Okay
We also have a ventilation system so we don't die
We'll open the microwave
and we'll stick in the VHS tape
Okay, there we go
I wonder how long we should put it in there for
[Zach:] A minute
[Jory:] A minute?
Sounds like a good idea
It probably won't be later though
This is a bad idea
[Jon:] I'm not sure anything is going to happen
[Zach:] It could take like 3 minutes
[Jon:] Or we could all die in one
[Zach:] It just explodes
How great would that—
[Jon:] The light bulb scared the *** out of us
[Laughter]
[Zach:] When it popped
[Jon:] Yeah
[Zach:] I just see us all flying back
This foil being ripped to shreds
I don't think it's doing anything there, Jory
[Jory:] No
[Zach:] You're not a very good scientist
Maybe it's melting though
[Microwave beeps]
[Jory:] I guess we should open up the microwave to find out what happened
It's smoking and it smells funny
Let's get the *** out of here
We should close the door and let the room air out for a day
[Laughter]
[Jory:] Well now that we have given this a sufficient amount of time to air out
we'll see what happened to the tape
It doesn't smell bad anymore
That's great
The tape has melted through
I'm sure that's what was smoking
There is no reason you should ever microwave a tape
because it's not a good idea
So, is it safe to microwave a tape?
No, it's not safe to microwave a tape
Don't microwave a tape
Well that's it
See you next time
