Watching Jamie laughing feels like seeing Spock smile 😆

[customink]

Kari in a labcoat and bikini doing mentos & coke reactions altered my brain chemistry irreparably

[pluviosity]

when Coke + Mentos was "an internet phenomenon". Lord I'm ancient.

38:37 "They help us remember how tenuous our grip on reality really is." I'm questioning Adam's tenuous grip on sanity 😂

The entire episode I kept thinking...if a sticker could throw off a helicopter...what happens when a bird dookies on it? (Parked outside not while spinning) ... This myth was busted before it even began

30:30 Jamie being silly <3
i hope we'll be getting the infamous cement truck explosion episode at some point. it's probably already been uploaded elsewhere, but i really want to watch it here on this channel. i didn't get to watch MythBusters much back then, so these new uploads kinda give me the feeling that it's an ongoing series because i've never seen most of the episodes

Improper Fishing: Add some rocks to a bottle, enough to sink it. Put dry ice in bottle, and close it tightly. (No water needed.) Throw out of boat into lake, and wait for *bang.* Collect floating fish.

I randomly checked my sub box and found this the amount sadness this cured is immeasurable

[Wampa]

I wonder if this was the episode where they discovered the super secret non-nitrogen-based homemade explosive.
Speaking of *bomb, * 2:23. Formative moment for so many of us.

41:07 This exact thing happened to me and my lab partner in high school, when we were doing a practice run of this recipe for a class assignment. I found the recipe online. The teacher didn't have a frying pan, so we used a beaker on a hotplate. While we were heating up the mixture, it combusted and started spewing fire. It was so bad that the beaker melted to the hotplate and she had to throw the whole thing out. We had to open all the windows in the adjoining hallway to let out the smoke. The teacher said it was the worst lab accident she'd seen in 11 years of teaching, and she cancelled the assignment for the whole class and said she was never giving it out again because she didn't want to tempt fate anymore. After all these years, I'm very relieved to learn that this hasn't only happened to us!

22:04 lol, Grant givin the ol "f*ckin a!"

[mirabilis]

A 1:7 scale helicopter doesn't weigh 1/7th of a real one, it weighs 1/7³ = 1/343th of one. They should've used a much smaller stamp. Distance, area and volume/mass/weight scales differently.

[ssam]

First tought on helicopter stamp myth... imagine saying "ou, our helicopter went down because bird took a shit on the blade".

[nickyoung]

Surprisingly, Kari Grant and Tori actually redid the dry ice in bottle test and prove the myth that that explosion can blast off your thumb if your holding it.

[darkdays]

Grant in the later episodes is called in to teach Adam and Jamie how to fly a remote controlled plane. I wonder if this episode made Grant want to hone those skills. He was already good at remote controlling things, but that doesn't seem to extend to airplanes.

“I have been a bubble-sculptor for about 20 years” 😂😂

[trentknight]

Kari must’ve enjoyed spraying Adam with the fire extinguisher
43:11

[gapho]

All right, I'll say it.



Thanks FHM.

[bopeep]

Full 2L bottle of cola on a lathe. That takes the cake.

19:00 “guys we need a fluid simulation of coke flying out of a bottle” person who knows how to mess with maya default smoke simulation “go on”
