    i don’t know about you.. but i think those traffic cone hats are tre chic.

  2. Ineedascotch says:

    Should have included the rest of the video, it’s even weirder…

  3. Jennypen says:

    I thought that was fairly fantastic actually, now it’s in my head.

  4. The What Now? says:

    It’s parodying the old educational kids’ show, ZOOM, which had its logo in the same font and had its child stars where very similar outfits. I’m still not sure what the exact purpose of this video is, but it’s definitely spoofing on ZOOM.

  5. Hangabur says:

    Where is the rest?!?!?!?! Bring it on! Bring it all on! At least until they are done singing all the digits of pi….

  6. The What Now? says:

    @The What Now?

    Oops. Somehow the word “where” got into my post where the word “wore” should have been.

  7. RevWubby says:

    They weren’t trying to learn PI from the robot. They pulled the used the old Star Trek trick of keeping it occupied by asking to to calculate the last digit of Pi. Now they can continue their mad experiments of magic and canned food.

  8. Is PIU getting lazy? A simple google search reveals this to be a kooky music video. It’s *supposed* to be strange.

  9. Ducky says:

    This is a music video for the band hard n firm.

  10. Ducky says:

    @Ducky
    err Hard and Phirm, wonky spellings always get me.

  11. Just stop the video before it gets started, and it becomes a WTF. Anyone could do that with any video.

  12. Noah says:

    At least, unlike the original Zoom show, the kids kept their friggin’ shows on!

  13. Noah says:

    “frigg’n shoes”

    Sorry ‘bot the spelling error! (And I have far less of an excuse than poor Ducky!)

  14. Twist9 says:

    Hard n’ Phirm for the win! Though why you didn’t post the entire video is beyond me, the rap part is my favorite.

  15. MadAriad says:

    I have to say this is my new second-favorite movie about pi.

  16. libby says:

    this video made my frikkin day i think its my new favorite music video

  17. joiex says:

    I swear to God, this is the exact video I saw in my mind when the teacher was trying to explain Math to me…

  18. Pablo5 says:

    This tune rocks !!! Are there more of them about another matemathical constants perhaps ?

  19. Rckrmoo says:

    That was the coolest thing ever wish they would show the rest

  20. Andy says:

    Um…the rest? In case you don’t remember, but pi goes on forever.
    I used to love zoom. I like Pi day (3/14) too. Two years ago, I brought in pies for pi day to work. People appreciated it (at 1:59), but it was lost on lots. It’s amazing how things we were supposed to memorize as kids actually have meaning now that you look back at them with a different perspective. Learning ‘how’ we got pi I think is more important, and relevent than the rote memorization. It also makes the understanding of circumfrance and areas much easier to comprehend.

  21. Matthew says:

    BOSTON MASS – OH TWO ONE THREE FOUR!!!

    I luv me some Ubbi Dubbi Wubbi Mountainubbi Dewbi Codeubbi Redubbi.

  22. Tuesday says:

    I’m glad some people actually got that this was hard n’ phirm. This isn’t a wtf show – it’s a parody video by an awesome band who writes awesome songs about science! This song is the reason I involuntarily know 75 digits of pi :)

  23. Baris Unver says:

    I actually kinda liked the song.

  24. raznarukus says:

    Why were the kids dumping canned food into a trash can???
    ps Andy, does everyone at work call you squeak, little bitch, or piece of shit???

  25. punkasin says:

    Odd that on the most educational video on this site that so many people made careless spelling mistakes…

    PS — Andy’s a douche.

  26. fabio says:

    i have the 3.141592653589793238462643… part in mp4 with the numbers playing… but didnĀ“t know about this group ^^

  27. kev says:

    I used to watch this video all the time. half the stuff that was on ebaumsworld.com back in the day could be wtf’s on here, but i think this website should be a step above stealing silly parodies and weird videos.

  28. mhaze says:

    this song sounds nice!
    the costumes reminded me a bit of the pet shop boys…”can you forgive her?” i think.
    not very wtf in my opinion.

  29. DaDewd says:

    The Pi song
    by Hard N Phirm.

    It’s meant to be weird like that. Based on the old show “ZOOM”. Love this song.

  30. DaDewd says:

    @Ducky
    No, it’s an “N”, not the word “and”

  31. Diddle says:

    Hard N Phirm does university tours and they use a lot of their music videos (such as this one) in the show. Most of their other songs have videos that reflect the strage concepts of their music comedy. I have their whole album of songs, and this is not the strangest. WTF fail.

  32. Carly says:

    It’s like ZOOM on a bad acid trip…

  33. omg says:

    I loved zoom

  34. Pneumothorax says:

    Mathematics has never been so terrifying.

  35. Jasmine says:

    I watched this and thought “Wow, I’ve seen this somewhere before. . . ”

    Then I read the comments and saw that it was a band called Hard N Phirm.

    Now I can’t remember where I heard of them.. .

  36. Sud_Vicious says:

    If aliens ever catch wind of this, they will surely invade.

  37. hallo says:

    I have seen this, if you showed the whole video, this would make more sense.

  38. Edmund says:

    Does anyone else think the “wizard” on the right could be Weird Al if his hair was a bit longer?

  39. the gnome says:

    wow…. were exactly can i find the rest of this?

  40. DaveH. says:

    Did anyone notice the dog inside the “crystal ball”?

    Not exactly comedy, but still…

  41. Jayson Davis says:

    So irrational…..

  42. Pi Luvr says:

    i’ve loved this video for a long time…. i know all the digits in it.
    how i wish i was still in high school or college; i would definitly write as much pi as i could remember at the end of every test, hahaha :)

    i once got kicked out of a chat room for reciting as much as i could recall from memory; they refused to believe that i wasnt just randomly typing numbers or used a cut and paste method.

    keeps me sharp :D

  44. Ash says:

    @Jasmine
    ytmd.com?

  45. RUSerious? says:

    Wait.. ZOOM was an ‘old’ show?

    Damnit.

  46. ThomasK says:

    Man they sound heaps like Hot Chip.

  47. hellesvront says:

    Oh man, I love Hard ‘N Phirm.

  48. Papa Jones says:

    Looks like something you’d see on “To Catch A Predator”.

  49. pixie says:

    @The What Now?
    Yeah, I used to watch ZOOM.
    The rest of it I really, really don’t get. Lol.

  50. gradster1 says:

    This doesn’t deserve a WTF. It’s fine. Everybody loves the pi song.
