OK Go has always had a knack for making entertaining videos. The band garnered worldwide success with its infamous treadmill routine, and its latest offering is no exception. Featuring the largest and most joy-inducing Rube Goldberg machine I’ve ever seen, the second iteration of “This Too Shall Pass” merits several viewings. Check it out below, along with some of their other hits.

“This Too Shall Pass – RGM Version”

“Here It Goes Again”

“A Million Ways”

“Get Over It”
