Warning: May Contain Feelings

I’m Betting This is The Cutest Video Featuring the Curiosity Rover We’ll See For A While

by Susana Polo | 5:48 pm, November 28th, 2012


Melbourne, Australia commissioned a cute video to remind its passengers to exercise save behavior when boarding trains or waiting at stations called “Dumb Ways to Die.” Seattle’s Cinesaurus created this homage video to it all about the Mars Curiosity Rover

I feel obligated to point out that since all the rovers are referred to as “she,” like many other inanimate vehicles, this video contains a brief moment of lesbian robot love. It also contains references to Amelia Earhart, Aliens, Half-Life 3, Doctor Who, and at about 1:05, something that just might make an xkcd fan tear up, so that’s pretty cool too.

    Cute, but it seems a full of American reference for Australia.

    The original “Dumb ways to Die” was made in Australia. This parody of it was made in Seattle. Hence, the more American references.

    I dont see one particularly american reference… All of them make complete sense for Australians… ?

    Note the reply below. However, if I were an American commuter, I would be pretty puzzled to be shown a video referencing the 1975 Australian constitutional crisis, The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and lamingtons.

    Love, love, love Priscilla, Queen of the Desert!
