Joseph's Machines recreated the morning contraption from Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers as a real physical machine.
The build lifts a bed to drop its occupant into clothing, continues the dressing routine, and finally launches jam toward toast popping from a toaster.

A few seconds of effortless cartoon morning routine turns into a huge real-world machine and a mountain of preparation. The device designed to simplify breakfast may take more work than breakfast itself.
