    Imagine making a "yo momma so fat" joke to Michael, then he goes on for 15 minutes explaining how yo momma is larger than the observable universe.

    Can't be a Vsauce video without a very interesting question, a proper but slightly generic answer, and then expanding upon the question beyond comprehension with a few topic diversions and then an extremely inspirational message in the end. Seriously, that's kinda the general layout of most if not all of Michael's older videos, and I'm all for it.

    Hey Michael! Morgan here. It’s 4 AM and I am so high I can’t tell if I’m wearing my contact lenses or not. Please, please tell me how big a person can get.
