So, annoying music, vertical alignment, and a caption that blocks the view of the deer actually landing. At least the original Twitter post did it right.
I wish animals were smarter just so I could see the amusement parks they build.
So, I guess another super-animal to add to Supergirl’s menagerie…
Meh, I’ve seen them flying higher and further.
After being hit by a semi of course, but that still counts.
Not to mention the original normal-speed video, which would have been cool to see, is never shown. (Although actually I liked the music.)
Gravity is just a theory.
Yeah, way over-rated.
The coolest part of this video is the split second where the deer, in mid air, picks the pocket of the dude standing there and says FUCK YOOOUUUU HHUUMAAN! as it cruises down for a landing!
It is just as well that they used a practical stunt; CGI effects of this quality can be really dear.
Yeah, the weakest of the Physical Forces. Even a flea can beat it.
“Seems as if the deer is moving through the air” it says, as we observe the deer moving through the air. Profound.
right? omg, that makes me so angry, lol
i kept waiting for a normal speed version, and NOPE
Talking about flying, @pesco - here’s one I found really amazing.

ETA: Damn, doesn’t onebox. Click above for the video in context, but it’s also really all in here, and you definitely want to see the video - not just read that page.
Supposedly, Richard Feynmann once held a lecture, discussing how gravity was by far the weakest of the fundamental forces. At that point a loudspeaker fell to the floor, and without blinking Feynmann added “Weak, but not insignificant”.
this was my favorite meme of the entire decade of the aughts, thank you for posting.
was just thinking I wish I could see the normal speed. too lazy to rip the video and speed it up in after effects though. oh well.
And it’s not even a reindeer. Just imagine how much farther that could fly!
