Viral Oreo Machine Guy Stars in New MTV Series 'Practically Useful'

If you liked David Neevel's Oreo Separator Machine, we've got a treat for you. MTV and its connected content lab, MTV Other, have a new web series starring the quirky physicist.

The new project, Practically Useful, premieres today -- watch the debut episode above. It centers on Neevel as he attempts to tackle some of life's greatest challenges, like applying deodorant and opening bottles.

The physicist, both the star and the creator of the show, stepped into the Internet spotlight after videos of his Oreo splitter and email-writing guitar went viral (watch both below).

.

Using his engineering skills, Neevel taps commonplace electronics to make "practically useful" inventions -- ones that are not only simple, but also simple-minded -- to improve our everyday lives. After all, if his brainchilds only work in theory, they're not "practically useful."

MTV Other also serves as the home of shows Late Night Munchies, Inside Joke, Showbiz and Rock Stories. The digital studio's content is currently accessible via the MTV app on iOS and on its standalone site. Apps are also in the works for Android and Xbox users.

What do you think of the first episode of Neevel's show? Let us know in the comments below.
