I've recently discovered the greatness of Mythbusters. Adam and "The Hyneman" are pretty freaking funny and I'm a sucker for any "myth/conspiracy theory" type show. Anyone else as addicted to this show as I am? I catch it everytime it's on TV.

I just saw the "Killer Cards" episode a few days ago...now my brother and I each bought a pack of cards and will randomly attack each other. :lol

I love this show.

 

[Midas]

Hehe it's pretty nice. My favorite is the one when they make cd's explode.

 

[The Shadow]

I've pimped the show here a few times in the past.

I think my favorite episodes are ones where the myth ends up being truth, like when they got an old boat to float by filling it up with ping-pong balls.

 

[Instigator]

I think it's funny, but their fondness for explosions sometimes sidetracks the mythbusting somewhat.

"We made something blow up! AH HAH HAH HAH!"

"BIG BOOM! BIG BOOM!"

 

[Jim Bowie]

I've been wanting to see the show, but I always thought it was on the HISTORY channel! Crap!

When does it play, incidentally?

 

[calder]

It's a neat idea, but I'm a little disappointed in the outcome. The experiments seem pretty half-assed sometimes because the whole point is that the actually try to do whatever to prove/disprove whether it could happen even when it's perfectly obvious the myth is just that by their initial research or discussion you're still subjected to a goofy explosion that just casts doubt on one minor element of the myth.

The show gets bonus marks for featuring not one but two of the ugliest men on television at the same time. Handy for passing the time when they drag out a segment by asking your SO if they'd still love you if you had a mustache like that.

What made them think it wouldnt work??

 

[Instigator]

"We made something blow up! AH HAH HAH HAH!"

"BIG BOOM! BIG BOOM!"

It's more like "No, we didn't make that blow up hard enough! Go again, go again!" Then they jump around and laugh madly.

 

[Saturnman]

Explosions are the epitome of entertainment.

 

[Instigator]

And there are so many things to blow up, and endless ways to do it. It's a source of fun for years to come.

 

[LakeEarth]

I enjoyed it when they got those goldfish to remember the path on how to get to the food. I thought that was pretty neat, no explosions in that one.

 

[Instigator]

But wasn't that the same episode where they blew up that horn repeatedly (and completely unnecessarily) until they got a loud enough bang?

 

[Saturnman]

Give it up, Instigator. This is a man's world and we like our bangs.

 

[Miguel]

Cola = not a spermicide. THANK YOU MYTHBUSTERS!

 

[Instigator]

Hey, I like a good bang as much as the next...person.

 

[Miguel]

:lol

Buried alive, and all the Cola myths. I wanted to see Jamie get crushed to his death...while pretending to be dead.

Kari's cute...

Kari's cute...

IBTN.

She's so cute when she's yelling at peas at the top of their lungs and calling them all kinds of names.

 

[DJ_Tet]

Damn, she's got a nice rack. I've watched two or three of these shows and never seen her. What's her full name?

 

[tedtropy]

Damn, she's got a nice rack. I've watched two or three of these shows and never seen her. What's her full name?

Kari Byron. And yep, she's a real cutie...got a nice butt too. Yet another reason for me to watch Mythbusters.
