Just think of how many people would ride the trains if they could expect this along the trip.

Have different train lines for different folks... :)
Excellent video... LOL!!

GmanPsycho

That was hilarious!

lastpulse

Awesome.

dead_red_eyes

and by the way, that's not albanian. they're norwegian. just thought you'd like to know. :o)

HoseHead

First time I ever saw it and it was worth it. Thanks Giz!

Albishor

@slingblade: Well, you have to get the train going pretty fast...

sonicwind

The "film" was made as a commercial for Hydro to inspire more children / adolescents to become interested in engineering. The actual version ends by saying "There are many young engineers. We can't wait for them to grow up.

It's Norwegian, not Albanian, and is directed by Roenberg at Motion Blur. Effects by Fido Film out of Stockholm (applied for a job there, only reason I know).

wallabeex

Glad you guys confirmed, I knew I had seen this already. But still entertaining to see again.

Geckotek

How'd they do that?

slingblade

Just because it's old doesn't make it any less cool. I enjoyed seeing it again.

stonefry

Some of you guys are a bunch of wet blankets -- "This is old"... "I saw this on Engadget"... "Wahhhh"....

It's still a nice clip. Anyone know what's the source?

Dirk

Just think about how the engineer would feel haha

rususeruru

Not what I was expecting. Very nice.

WorkingOnYourInvoice

c'mon giz... this was a commercial that was on one of those tv specials a while back.

move along... nothing to see

picantel

That was absolutely incredibly amazing. lol

JoshLanphear

Holy Shit. Nice

rjlewis74

Yaaaay!!!!

92BuickLeSabre

That is not what i expected at all. that was some funny stuff.

@RationalAntaxia:
*Holding my hand as an "L" up to my head*

@Wegmans: Do NOT knock the Albanians. They gave us Eliza Dushku.
And John Belushi.
But mostly Eliza Dushku.

smitty1123

@harumph: No, because "local" can also mean "the one that is closest to you."

Pender

@homerjay: but it's all about ME ME ME!

fussball

Source?

JaXs

Awesome!

BigDogues

lol -

That is one hell of a edit job right there...
I hope this guy ends up in Hollywood.... cuz thats talent....

xaflatoonx

@RationalAntaxia: Oh grow up. Just because its old to you doesn't mean the rest of us have seen it. Quit being 'that guy.'

homerjay

isn't "local express train" an oxymoron?

harumph

LMAO! great stuff.

DJJS

C'mon Giz, you're better than this. This is really old.

RationalAntaxia

Not bad

UofITom

The next ride at six flags over texas.

tamoko

Damn Albanians have nothing else to do..

Wegmans

That was pretty good.

WilCon

Except this one was a commercial.

skeeveAGAIN

thats funny shit

discounteggroll

Thats Hilarious

CCNA1AB

Ha Ha! Yeah that was pretty good.

And for all the people saying "old"...

You've officially spent too much time consuming media. You've reached the end of the internet. Everything else is a rerun. Go outside.

phlavor

old

essequemodeia

First time I ever saw it and it was worth it. Thanks Giz! [2]

AndersonBMX

I would give up my car and always take the trains if they were like this.

pipcorona

@tamoko: Whoop Texas!

mmeads

Sometimes i summer in albania so i can work on my tan.

illustriouschin

@smitty1123: Of course, they also gave us the 21st Waffen Mountain Divisiou of the SS Skanderbeg [en.wikipedia.org], one of the most notorious of the war. See also:[www.serbianna.com]

I'm not trying to be a troll here, but I'm simply a military historian. I'm also not saying that Albanians are bad people. I'm simply stating that at least one bad thing did come out of there. Also, I'm a very big fan of both Dushku and Belushi, and as a matter of fact, I make an annual visit to his grave site on Martha's Vineyard, where I summer. Flame me if you will, but I'm really not trying to be a jerk here, merely adding to the conversation.

That aside, I'm really impressed with the editing, and the video itself is hilarious. Even if it's old, I haven't seen it before, so like OMG Ponies! said, it's new to me.

SonOfMagicFact

awesome *smug*

Amiash

Eh.

Cerixus

Anyone who's ridden the LIRR has already experienced this...

DucatiGuy

@skeeveAGAIN: So was the other one.

Ethan Allison

Why is Gizmodo featuring these ridiculous videos? How are they gadget related at all?? If I want to watch funny videos I'll head over to YouTube thank you very much.

TomTheGeek

holy years ago batman.

odnet

The full deal here ->[www.boardsmag.com]

pashdown

@banmojo: Thanks. I really hope I didn't come off as pretentious, but you know how people are... I'm feelin' the love, baby!

SonOfMagicFact

@SonOfMagicFact: dude, it's ok. No need for all the explanation, we're all friends here. Except all the "it's old" dudes. No one's friends with those assholes.

Awesome vid, thanks Giz.

banmojo

@illustriouschin: Can't blame you. I hear it's real nice that time of year :D

SonOfMagicFact

This kids played a little too much of Stunts.

Palestina

@skeeveAGAIN: Yeh, once I saw the kid with the welding torch and facemask I immediately thought, "Oh yeah, like that'll happen." Kids can't even get a good chemistry set anymore, let alone the equipment to build a steel coaster loop.

But it was pretty cool...except now I have to go find out what that's advertising. (looks back at comments) Oh, never mind.

deusdiabolus

spectacular!

Bodypainter

@TomTheGeek: Maybe because it took some gadgetry magic to make the train appear to do a loop? How boring would it be just to see one endless product after another, new or old, if they didn't put some fun in between them? Might as well go surf Best Buy or Circuit City if that's all you want. First time I've seen it, so I'm glad they showed it. Too all those 'it's old' people let me say, not everybody has the time to surf the web like you do or has seen it all, so next time...before clicking the jump, why don't you quickly ascertain that you've already seen it, and move down to the next article? It should only take a few seconds of your pitiful life.

yougottabekidding

It's like this is the first day some commenter's have read Giz, or something. Check this out, go make your own site.

Anyways, that caught me off guard and was imaginative and funny.

vagrant

first time i saw this and it was fucking amazing.

MacAddict21

Note to self, never ride this train.

GizFanAlpha

@TomTheGeek: Okay,we need to come up with a term for guys like you and RationalAntaxia who always bitch about the content on this site. Some of us like the variety they provide.

homerjay

@TomTheGeek: Well Tom, with that 'aloof' attitude you wont be missed.

MeesterBell

I love this.

the_force

@TomTheGeek: Oi! Did you find it entertaining, or not? It may not be exactly gadget related, but people seemed to enjoy it. Take it easy. It's only a website. :)

SonOfMagicFact

I wouldn't like to ride on a train that all of the sudden turns into a rollercoaster. I just love working on a train on my notebook, and I'd hate to see that getting airborne all of a sudden...

yogibimbi

seeing is not believing ne more..... lol

pipichua

Why was harry potter narrating? I didn't know he spoke norwegian.

Fierock

It may have been old, but it's new to me. Loved it.

Aaron Martin-Colby

Heading up to YouTube doesn't give me a shitfilter to filter out the good stuff like this. So far Gizmodo does an awesome job just showing the stuff that is really worth it.

The video was awesome, I haven't seen it before. Even if I had, I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Herman

I'll just step outside here and dust off my old oxy/acet torch...

freakin' awesome. this *and* the flipping car! appropriate use of gagets!

izzaboo

man, back in my day, the only hack was flat nickels...

VakeroRokero

That was pretty great. That lead-in made me expect the worst, but I was happily disappointed. =-D

BigDanInTX

This video commercial was for one of the northern European (Norway?) hydro companies - they want engineers.

I saw the full commercial on TV - on Fridays, the local news has a segment called "Satellite Debris" where they air all sorts of wierd videos and commercials from around the world. This was one of them, but they aired the whole thing, which indicated what it was advertising. This was actually the second one of those... the first featured these same kids doing a remote-controlled (full scale) car...

Worf

Lol, how'd a bunch of kids build that? Their really determined.
