I don’t know what Japanese TV show this is from, but it’s a video of some amazing Rube Goldberg contraptions. Skip about 1:30 into it, and when the dancers come on, skip over them too. There are a couple of dozen different devices demonstrated, using some truly innovative interactions and reactions. It’s similar to the Honda Cog advertisement, but clearly hand-made, and with a repeating jingle at the end of each one, sometimes incorporated into the machine itself.

I was going to tell you about them on numerous occasions, actually but didn't think you'd be impressed. There are probably many, many of them. I also saw a TV show that had a contest of these kind of contraption builders, competing in teams, with points for creativity and difficulty, and creative goals like "coolest way to open a can" or "crack an egg to make a batter" as the final action in the contraption. Years back, there was a gigantic dominos-falling display arranged around Odaiba, spanning miles, in and out of stores and buildings, and televised live, which used video cassette cases as the dominos.
