Rube Goldberg Devices in Movies or TV
A Rube Goldberg device or machine is, as Jimmy Kimmel once said, "an intentionally delightful waste of time and energy." It is a way to accomplish a simple task using as many ridiculous and unnecessary steps as possible. They are often depicted in movies as being created by scientists or young, wanna-be techies. A domino toppling array is a more simple version of a Rube Goldberg machine and other, more complicated devices usually also include dominoes. The concept is an invention of American cartoonist and inventor Rube Goldberg who often depicted such contraptions in his comics.
