Phantastic Gus is my spirit animal.

I love your channel so much!

yay

i love you sooo much, and i want to work at nasa when i grow up, like you did! you rock!

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

good job mark

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

i was worried he would hurt the squirrrels, nice video

Honestly 😂😂😂

Its Mark Rober. Of course it would be

Those squirrels exceeded my expectations along with the video.

Ive been subbed for a long time ik what im getting into This is my 2nd time watching already

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.

Apparently there's no maternity leave for squirrels!

Maternity 😂 leave

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

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

Cool

yes

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

The squirrels are so pretty funny 😂

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

I totally agree

Yh this is so amazing and impressive

;)

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

@Alex B absolotely

Every guy needs a friend like John. "Yo John. Wanna build a squirrel maze?" "Yes."

Fr

not sure any guy would say no to this, however i am extremely tempted to do this with my squirrels now... just kinda crappier, because i cant build things

@DARKTIMES Dude, I'm pretty much in the same boat. I've learned a bit of carpentry from my job, but my engineering is lacking severely. I can frame up a small shack but you ask me to do any sort of wiring and I'll be completely lost

@DARKTIMES same bro

Totally Agree!! What a great pick me up 😊💗👍

The squirrel picnic table is awesome, so cute! 😁

I would literally watch a whole season of Squirrel Wipeout.

Your on to something here

Woah woah wash he’s gotta point there

I'd watch that on discovery channel fo sho

Oooohhh... Interesting

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

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

Yeah. It has a soul.

We watched this in science class today and we were all dying up laughing at the part when they tried getting over the swingy bridge and the part when they’d launch on the pad

no way you watched this in science class whatttt

You are lucky. It sounds like you teacher wants you to love learning...not just learn something.

Hi lm bra

Hi lm Braxden

yooo my science class watched this too

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

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

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

Honestly this is a piece of art, one of the best things I ever seen on YouTube. Mad respect, Mark! I love your squirrels. This really made my day and I'm sure I'll come back here often 👏🏽

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!

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

Hahahaaa

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

Neighbor: The WHAT

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

Best comment

Thank you for all your time making high quality content. We’re with you!

But who designed the squirrel? JEHOVAH !

Wow

Cool

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

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

Same

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

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

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

This is seriously phenomenal artistry and filmmaking and you are a brilliant engineer and designer! Thank you for this... I was having a really rough day and this really helped :)

the best antisquarell bird feeder is having a separate pile of seeds for the freaking rodents next to the bird feeder, they always go for the easier food. works every time

Moral of the video: Squirrels are smarter than the average package thief.

yes

I don't think those things qualify as smart. Edit: (I meant Package thieves)

Spence C. They’re definitely clever

there big brain

@Spence C. You're right... theyre genius.

This is one of the best most creative videos I've seen. Never thought squirrels would do that

So cute. The four squirrels surely will remember the adventure forever.

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!

Excellent video! What an incredible combination of engineering, animal behavior, filming, commentary, education and humor. Loved every minute 😁

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!!!

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

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

over the hedge anyone?

Omg that is so funny

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

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

I’ve watched this amazing video 3 times now, it’s incredible Mark, we’ve laughed so much 😅 …..I’m off to watch your other 2 squirrel mazes 😊 …..fantastic channel by the way xxxx

This is my daughter's favorite video! She just decided to start her own channel. Very proud of her.

I always thoroughly enjoy your videos, courses and hard lessons! Don't stop,..it's very entertaining! Thank you!

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”

Mark robers obstacle course any%

(No major glitches) Spliced

funny

@Manurung it is thank you

they cheat they do TAS speedrun

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.

Truly remarkable. Both the ingenuity of the course, and skill of the squirrels.

these squirrels are purely just too cute

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.

So.. And that's the way, how bird watchers forget about birds and become squirrel lovers. Great job with that obstacle course...😊

Funny, how he can entertain both squirrels and humans at the same time.

Impressive, i would say

Never thought I’d love and laugh as much as I did when I clicked on this video 😂😂. Loved it. Gonna go watch the other two now

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

Absolutely loved your video.. So ingenious!!! Squirrels are adorable. Thank you for making me spend 20 minutes of pure joy 👏🏻

That was really enjoyable to watch. Well and truly entertained.

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

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

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.

@Tatiana Lily who hurt you Was it the squirrel

DC has dem super rare hairless tail squirrels

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

Phillip2423A until fantastic guss comes along

This was an absolute delight to watch

Best squirrel video ever! Your cleverness knows no bounds.

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?!🥰😘

2 minutes in and I’m hooked and cracking up!!! Smart little buggers! With great core muscles 😂

Cute. Funny. So entertaining. Great job.

Now i feel like i know these squirrels personally,

Yeah I'm gonna miss em

Now I'm thinking in getting a squirrel

these squirrels are smarter than me

M 2

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

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

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

normally i would click off a video like this immediately, but for some reason i was hooked the second i started watching! absolutely fantastic video! we all love our backyard friends❤

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.

The one thing you missed in the flight physics of the squirrels is the use of their tail, which serves as a stabilizing air brake of sorts, but also conserves angular momentum using centrifugal force. That's using aerodynamics and centrifugal force for making course corrections while maintaining a direction of motion. I love my little back yard ninjas.

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

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

Underrated comment😂

@Melissa Peterson Already has a son

Ya heard of a Nuclear Reactors?

He already has a whole video on science fair ideas

INCREDIBLE!!!! Thank you for making me laugh and for the utter enjoyment. This video is so creative and so well put together. You made my day.

Literally I need more dog this series. This is best thing to watch

Mark you never cease to inspire me.

Mind blown. Thank you for your experiments and for sharing your experiences

Beautiful demonstration of trial and error – both from Mark and the squirrels

This is the most entertaining video about squirrels in existence

Have you heard about Saving the squirrles initiative?

Someone doesn't watch idubbbz

Innit

Yup!

Just casually scalping Barbie like we wouldn't notice.

Woke up to this after a nap. Why can't every day be like this? I LOVE IT

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. 🐿️

Episode 3 just came out today so I am rewatching the first two episodes this is my favorite series

Same

Crazy it's been 2 years already

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

"Doctors trying to find a way to cure the virus" Mark Rober:"trying to find a way to outsmart a squirrel..."

This is the best comment

Totaly the best comment I have ever seen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Engineer things

And in both cases, it is impossible

I wish the cure will never found

This video just made my day and I'm not even a squirrel fan. Absolutely fantastic. GREAT JOB! I love Phat Gus

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

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.

This is hysterical…..wish he’d make some more

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.

Most people : “Ehh who cares anymore” Mark: “ THIS IS WAR” and proceeds to make a parkour course.

Is "war" the right word? "THIS IS A MORE-OR-LESS-NONVIOLENT COMPETITIVE CHALLENGE!!" doesn't have the same ring, I guess.

xxGodx that’s exactly what I was thinking

Sooooooooooo cute ... Mark rocks with his ideas i could watch this 100x and still laugh

I think you could design and sell mini courses for everyone's backyard! How funny to watch and enjoy.

oh my gosh, we need more squirrel videos

100 million views well earned. Will be showing this to everyone I know.

2/3/23 - I'm back to share this wonderful vid with a friend who just *may not* have seen it before. And I'm re-watching. And I'm smiling, Thanks, Mark!

Every other squirrel: does course normally Phantastic Gus: Hold my walnuts

Yol Riin Lask bro come one man don’t be a buzzkill

@5iris more like a guskill

LEGEND 333 noice

Let’s be honest gus ain’t letting anyone get his walnuts

Phantasic Gus: Lemme eat my walnuts- i feel like his would fit more but still its a great comment-

Absolutely stunning ingenuity from both this guy and his acrobatic fury mates.... I definitely wanna be a squirrel in my next life 😁

Next life’s don’t exist

@Techno tree you don’t know that

@Techno tree Maybe.. Maybe not, I suppose 1 day I'll find out..... But as your comment is simply just your opinion with zero evidence to back it up I still reckon I have a fair chance to reincarnate as Mr Nutkin's relative 😁

I'm so glad this video randomly played such joy! Also how the heck can u tell these guys apart?

Absolutely amazing & complete fun! Love the 2 movie franchise plays. 😊

the squirrel videos are definitely my favorites 😅❤

Let’s just take a moment and appreciate how time he puts into this just to entertain us

This was so fun to watch. Lowkey you can make a whole series on this

I want to see a bird feeder that completely stumps the squirrels

Yeeeeeessss

No. Highkey. Very high key.

same thought

Yeah idubbz did this but it was more about killing them, still funny though

This is so great, well done!

How many engineers does it take to outsmart a squirrel ?

Infinite

Great stuff, never thought I'd enjoy it as much as I did. Loved how you broke down when they they we're launched, and showed how smart those little brains are. Enjoyed you're Prater match as well. Prayers for #3 Hamlin

Great video. Very fun and pulled me out of some bad vibes. Thanks!

This was so entertaining! Thank you for this video.😂

I just appreciate the fact that he uploads once a month and he always manages to make the content top notch in quality.

You are everywhere, try get a break once in a while...is Ytube and anime all you know?

I think you are a building with 64 minotors

Michael C Grigori oof

Well we meet again

Hey

WOW! So interesting and fascinating. Congratulations on a job well done!

This is so charming and entertaining ❤

This has to be one of the best YouTube videos that I have ever seen ❤

I’m willing to belief mark made this video just as an excuse to build a squirrel catapult😂

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

That shot of gus chillin on the picnic table was probably the best thing ive seen in my life

Aka my brother at 5:00 am

The shot of the squirrel’s butt is hilarious and I thought he was doing it on purpose.

yes

Same haha I was actually laughing out loud at every joke mark made of gus

Mood

Beautiful 💜 hooray squirrels, they had a blast

MARK!!!! LOVE these videos- I've got side cramps from laughing so hard!! Not only funny but educational- I have a similar battle in our front & back yards with the bird feeders being raided by the squirrels.  Just wondering about the 24hr video surveillance; you mentioned that they were busiest from 6am-10. I'm wondering what's the latest in the afternoon you've seen them out & about- the ones in my yard sleep in and are busy from about 7-11 then disappear for a nap and re-appear for a bit in the afternoon and leave before dusk (probably to avoid predators). Thanks again for GREAT VIDOES and education!!

You are amazing, and the squirrels are amazing. Well done!
