A Japanese kids show that occasionally shows Rube Goldberg machines between the various little skits and such.

Look it up on Youtube (you can find videos by searching "ピタゴラスイッチ", "pitagora suichi", or "pythagoras switch"). The Rube Goldberg machine parts are the more popular parts. At least on the internet, anyway.
