Watch This Homemade Robot Go to Town on an Oreo Cookie

Portland-based artist, copywriter, and Rube Goldberg machine builder David Neevel lost out on some quality time with his dog, risked cold hands, and skipped some potentially good lunches all in service of building this robot that separates the cookie portion of Oreo cookies from the cream, which Neevel dislikes and dispatches with an automated hatchet. It’s a Nabisco ad, of course, but a fun one. “I don’t have a catchphrase for my machine,” he says. “But I guess if it did have one, it could be something like ‘let’s get that cream out of there,’ or like, ‘this cream’s no good let’s get it off the cookies,’ or something.”
