I saw this image while browsing a dump, so I wanted to figure out exactly how long this video is, by means of science!! I will try to keep my estimates as conservative as possible, while based on what I can find
I'll start with the SpongeBob part, the fact that its backward doesn't impact the length. The wikipedia says that each episode was around 11 minutes long. The wiki also says there are 205 episodes, 11 x 205 gets us 2255 minutes.
I watched this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eagjpMz2hHU) and counted how many times it skipped, I counted 305 times, someone can go back and check me, if you want to waste 12 minutes of your life.
That means SpongeBob will be replayed 305 times, that's 2255 minutes repeated 305 times. Leaving us with 687775 minutes.
I googled Simpson's scripts, and counted the words and found the average amount of words between 28 episodes. (Every word has a vowel, right?) I averaged it out and found there were around 2500 words per episode. There are 606 episodes, 606 x 2500 is around 1515000 words said in the Simpsons.
That means the bee movie would be replayed 1515000 times throughout the duration.
1515000 x 687775 is 104194125000 minutes. Let's add (1515000 x 95 (Length of bee movie)) because the bee movie is still playing 1515000 times. That number is 143925000, added to 104194125000 gets us 10563050000 minutes.
Now we have the youtube videos. After a swift google search, i found it would take 28,539 years to watch all of the videos currently on youtube. That number in minutes is 14794617600; take that number and add (1056305000) to it every 10 seconds, (figure out how many times 10 seconds passes in 28539 years and multiply that by 1056305000), we get 93765771000000000000 minutes (Calculator didn't go to 19 places)
Now we have to do ALL THAT every time green is shown on the screen during toy story. This one is difficult, seeing as there's no real counter or video skipping all parts showing green, so let's say there's green 25% of the time. Every 4th second it skips, during all of the sequels. Toy story 1 is 81 minutes long, and has 1215 skips. Toy story 2 is 93 minutes long, and has 1395 skips. Toy story 3 is 103 minutes long, and has 1545 skips. This adds to a total of 4155 skips. 4155 x 93765771000000000000 is 389596780000000000000000 minutes. (Approximately.)
lengths found on respective wikis.
(Toy story is actually a quadolgy, but the post says trilogy, so I'm going with the first 3)
Finally, we come to ice age. We have to repeat ALL of that every syllable. Using a quick google search, there is an average of 1.66 syllables per word, but let's call it 1 syllable for argument's sake, and it's a simple movie.
Ice age has 4432 words, Ice Age; the meltdown has 5207 words, Ice Age; Dawn of the dinosaurs has 5092 words, Ice Age; Continental Drift has 6123 words, Ice Age; Collision Course has 6542 words. In total, we have 27396 words. Every word is assumed to have only one syllable, so we repeat 27396 times.
389596780000000000000000 x 27396 = 10673393000000000000000000000 minutes, 177889890000000000000000000 hours, 7412078700000000000000000 days or 20,589,108,000,000,000,000,000 years.
This video is over 20 sextillion years long. In perspective, scientists believe the universe is 14 billion years old, this video is more than 1426871400000x longer than the entire age of the universe. That's impressive.
Have a good night everyone! Merry Christmas, good luck on your finals if you havn't already taken them.

If this does not make it to the front page, I'm going to be very disappointed

Slow clap* Amazing, now go study you turd.

I second this! @op Best of luck!

You seem to have a lot of time on your hand
TypicalGayMan
I don't. I have finals in 10 hours and I need to sleep. :/

And yet you still won't do your homework before the day it's due.

I love it. Even though it's pointless the math is fun.

Aren't finals over?

You are either doing god's work, or the devil's work, @OP. I'm not sure which.

As someone who also should be studying for finals I applaud your procrastination

I just finished a final and I'm secretly browsing imgur
AllHailAzathoth
Screw your finals! Now calculate the file size of such an upload.
TypicalGayMan
Aha I guess I have to now
BethanyShepard
iMovie should be able to handle the file.

Science isn't about "why?" It's about "why not?!"

Scientific notation, dude!

+1 for recognition of the great Toy Story tv films
DaisukeAramaki
That's more math than I've used in my entire adult life so far. Not counting points totaling for wargames anyway.

Film Theory covered this and i have a hunch that you used his work, lol
LadiesInboxMeYourInsecurities
Hey @OP; I love you.
TypicalGayMan
Hey love you too

Scientific notation could've been nice
TypicalGayMan
Game theory just did a video on this :D I was close!
Nickotorp
You did a good job @op, I brought this post up to compare the differences.
TypicalGayMan
Yea, I falsely went with 25% green other than 80% but it did seem like a stretch lol

All righty then. Better start now.

They could totally make a movie loosely based around that too. Like around halfway there's a rebel that decides not to watch it but...

By then it's too late, that's all the world has known. Everyone worships the one watching, when the young boy decides to throw caution...

To the wind and exit the window, the world erupts into a state of anarchy and war. On the process almost everything gets destroyed...

I have finally found a length of time for my time name. This is now officially a fucktillion. One fucktillion in time.

Toy story is a quadrilogy? Did I miss something?
TypicalGayMan
No, it's not, that's my bad. Toy story 4 is on the wiki but it's set for 2019 lol
