A Rube Goldberg machine or device is any exceedingly complex apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very indirect and convoluted way. Rube devised such pataphysical devices. The best examples of his machines have an anticipation factor: the fact that something so wacky is happening can only be topped by it happening in a suspenseful manner.

Rube Goldberg Device from the movie Waiting
A Rube Goldberg device from the end of the movie "Waiting." This device was made to simply pour beer into a mug, initiated from setting an empty mug onto a pedestal. Very cool!
