Using science as a tool, Hollywood special effects experts attempt to debunk rumours, urban legends and popular myths that have captivated the minds of many individuals.
#MythBusters #FactOrFiction - Zábava
It's like I'm 17 again, I'm at my parents house, watching mythbusters, everything is good, and the world is so much simpler. Gosh I miss those days.
I don’t think it was simpler for your parents, it’s just that they handled all the difficult parts of life.
Time has a funny way of changing life. Sometimes for better; Sometimes for worse. I have felt this as well.
for me when i was, like, 10 XD
same here
Same
I can't believe they're releasing these ... it's like a dream come true
It's so good to be able to see and celebrate Grant and Jessi at work, they are deeply and dearly missed by us all.
Whenever I watch these, my brain cant help but to think about warning them to what would happen in the future. You just wish you could. It's like that when I see pictures of people I've lost along the way too.
The problem with their methodology on the Gorn myth was that they used a red shirt on their Kirk analogue. That's the real reason the bamboo exploded.
Gotta agree. If they'd put a ripped gold shirt on it, that cannon would have worked perfectly.
on a more serious note wasn't kirk on an alien planet? so how do we know it was bamboo and not some other type of material?
@@sheilaolfieway1885 Yep, that's the usual argument for how it worked. The world was "prepared" by the Metrons specifically for their battle, which was the writers handwave for anything Kirk might find there like unusually large diamonds just lying around. So an alien super bamboo is just as reasonable.
@@sheilaolfieway1885 We don't know! But the Metrons created the battlefield for the purposes of the fight so maybe they populated it with resources familiar to Kirk and the Gorn captain? I mean, they recreated the Vasquez rocks. :P
@@thomasjoychild4962 If they'd put a gold shirt, the kickback of the cannon would have ripped the shirt without harming Kirk.
Back when TV had shows ppl wanted to watch 👍
Man, this show ended in 2016. That sounds like so recently but then I realize that that is 8 years.
@InevitableOption-ic2vx because it didnt deserve to be loved.
Even the Mythbuster Jr. was better with Adam and a bunch of science-nerd kids.
Full episodes? On an official channel? What a blessed day this is!
An idea from taskmaster play book
"Nutted out a conclusion"...Such phrasing! 🤣
That's what the rape blob do
it was a different time
@@georgetazberik6834 when boys were blobs
I skipped the intro right to that part, had to stop and double check I heard right lmao
It's nice to see the person running this channel seems to finally understand what the people want to watch. Keep it up!
Best show ever, RIP Grant and Jessi.
Are they really dead?
@@lancewalker2595 Yeah :( Grant died to Covid, and Jessi died in a car crash while trying to beat the land speed record.
@@cha0sniper Grant didn't die of Covid, he died on an aneurism
@@cha0sniper Yeah don’t know where you got covid from, he died of an intracranial aneurysm.
So true
21:23 The amount of dust that came up when adam hit those pillows is concerning.
ewwwww
lol wtf
that was crazy
Just imagine how many people have slept in that bed and nobody has washed the pillow. COVID really changed the world
Bro went “ptuh puh” after too 😭😭😭
the earwax candle has to be the most disgusting thing they ever created on MythBusters, and that's saying something

The bullet match test is awesome, the earwax candle is disgusting.
It's been fun watching Adam keep us up to date on his projects for the last 10+ years on CZcams. Also, I feel a bit guilty saying this, but it's also been fun seeing Adam be a bit of a curmudgeon at times, like he would poke fun at Jamie for back in the day.
They missed the opportunity to call it a "Bamboozooka"
Consider the irony that Grant played Sulu in a series of Star Trek fanshows.
RIP Grant Imahara and Jessi Combs…
Wait, what happened to Jessi?
@@rickcs7050 Injuries sustained during a land speed record attempt.
Damn, I didn't know she had died as well
True legends.
@@matthewlo7868 wow. Sounds about right.
Most of my favourite episodes are the ones where more than two myths are tested. I really wish they could have done this more often.
The color of the burning ear wax is bizarre. That distinct red color is almost what I would expect from a lithium salt, not ear wax.
One of the best TV shows ever and definitely my favorite one. ❤
20:33 It lasted about as long as the candle in Shrek was on camera, lol.
The shot at 7:51 kinda trips me out knowing Grant and Jesse are dead. Rip to both of their lovely souls.
Adam uses nail clippers. Jamie uses scissors 😅
75% potassium nitrate, 15% charcoal and 10% sulfur
And mix it with alcohol, let i dry, brake it into smal pices. It burns alot better
Ratios - Multiple combinations are possible as there are 2 redox reactions taking place:
8KNO3(s)+5S(s)+5C(s)-->4k2O(g)+4N2(g)+5CO2(g)+5SO2(g)
4KNO3(s)+3S(s)+2C(s)-->2K2O(g)+2N2(g)+2CO2(g)+3SO2(g)
etc... what coefficients did you use?
I am not usually squeamish but piles of collected earwax is not a pleasant sight. Glad full episodes of Mythbusters are finally hitting youtube, long overdue.
Its so amazing to see these episodes again! I grew up watching the mythbusters and they were a huge inspiration to me, enough so that I now am in my senior year of a degree in biotechnology with the intention of moving on to a graduate degree. They really know how to keep the spirit of discovery and the joy of science alive even all these years later.
mythbusters was such fun to watch . you made science fun from start to finish . the full episodes on here are just the best hope you do that more often . rest in peace Grant and Jessi .
The leidenfrost effect is definitely true, ive seen guys slap molten metal with their bare hands before and be perfectly fine.
Thank you for uploading the full episodes. I've seen all of them but they've never not peaked my interest.
21:28 ... Was that anthrax the poofed up when jamie hit that pillow... Lol.. I remember seeing this when this originally aired
Why would it be anthrax?
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 ..I'm just being a little hyperbolic. . Its likely was starch but at the time their was a big anthrax scare when this episode originally aired ..
Blob residue
Anthrax 💀💀💀 GOOD night
Lol 3 ingredients we won't tell you, "Dr.stone here's how ya make black powder"
Thank you so much to the MythBusters channel owners for putting all these online for the public to see!!
When I was a kid, I bothered my parents for an aquarium. They didn't want it in the living room so it went in my bedroom. The filter I used had a little "waterfall" for the filtered water to return into the tank. It made a trickling sound, and the first AND second night I wet the bed! I remember having a dream that I was sitting on the edge of a ornamental fountain and then, all of a sudden, I was sitting IN the fountain and I remember, in the dream, noticing the water was warm! Lol
Seeing Adam wearing thick gloves encouraging Jamie to put his fingers in molten lead is just…
The powder made in this episode is FAR too weak to be a usable weapons grade powder. It was WAY too slowly burning.
The ingredients needed more mixing (mill time)
Not only did the Mythbusters do the "lighting a match with a bullet" myth, @smartereveryday confirmed it too.
I hope these guys reprise their roles someday. There are so many CZcamsr scientists that they could guest appear on!
Nobody warned me about the earwax candle
RIP Grant and Jesse.... Jesse was the perfect stand in for Kari when she had maternity leave. God, I miss the Mythbusters!!
Wait Jesse died to? What happened to her?
@@MrJimheerenland speed record racing. Her jet car crashed at over 300 km/hr. 😔
@@BlitzMekanika oh yeah, I remember reading about that
@@MrJimheeren She died in a high speed racing crash.
My dad knew a guy who could shoot a pistol freehand and light a match at about 10 feet. He saw him do it many times. He also had a buddy who could shoot an aspirin tablet at 20 yards with a bow
My grandpa did I was very young
The prank is to put their hand in warm water and then piss on them yourself is it not!!??!
I remember watching mythbusters in middle and high school. but now as a mother of 2 I'm very happy that I have my grad school kids loving it as well.
The Gorn bazooka was 100% Grant's idea.
It had to be.
Yes!!!!! Please release more. One of my favorite shows ever
"We've nutted out a solution" is my new favorite thing to say.
OMG...a full episode!
I’m so happy they are releasing these
I think this is the best combo of experiments ever, all I'vewindered about, even got some star trek in there!
god i remember this episode... its been so long since then.. just watching myth busters on my grandparents old tv...
Awesome more full episodes plz
Man this show was sooo good!
i like how for the beaming sound they used a door fx clip from Doom!
Omg I needed a trigger warning for that jar of earwax! 😂
They didn't test with OGRE ear wax ;)
I feel like it would have worked better if they had processed the earwax.. beeswax has to be melted down and filtered before you make candles out of it, after all.
love this show
can't wait for the water slide episode 😍
RIP Jessi, will miss your amazing skills, forever. Best welder ever... Hope you are flying fast in heaven.
Season 7 let's gooo
I just realized I started watching this show like 20 years ago...
yes more of this
ita amasing how much the earwax looks like an Alheira toasted!
"LET'S BURN IT!" **gives earwax determined look holding a lighter
hahahaha...Jessi was so awesome. RIP
They didn't do the best with black powder. The easiest way was to look what remains after the sample burned - remaining component(s) is in the excess. Black remains means charcoal is in excess. Blue flame after initial flash - sulfur is in the excess. Finally if there's some melted mass - it is potassium nitrate. Adding step by step the deficient component(s) allows to fix the ratio. It is possible to get way better results (quite close to industrial product). And of course just grinding ingredients together is not enough to get the powder that they have in canister. The mixture they got left a lot of residue, by the looks of it too much KNO3.
21:21 - "Alright, sweet dreams!" * slaps all the disgusting dust out of the pillow * ... 😆
Nutted out 🤨
The tips are White Phosphorus on top of the Red Sulfur.
The part of me that knows about lead poisoning was screaming when Jamie got lead onto his fingers
I remember the time the camp dog chased a skunk into the head councilor's sleeping where the skunk went off.
Someone I used to know claimed that he and 3 or 4 friends saved up earwax for several years in college and on graduation made and lit a candle that burned well enough but smelled vile. I am certain that most people have heard such a story from one of the supposed participants.
I Love Smith Busers
This was such a good show. RIP to Grant and Jessi
"nutted out a solution" jfc
LEAD LEAD!!!!
Reinforce the breech of the bamboo cannon better and it works fine, and doing a wet mix vs a dry mix like they used gives a much greater output
In 2013 Combs' 1st run across Oregon's Alvord Desert reached over 800 km/h!! She broke the 48yr old women's speed record by Lee Breedlove, 465 km/h in 1965. When she died in 2019 she broke the existing women's land speed record of 825 km/h set in 1976 by Kitty O'Neil Race in Peace Jessie!
Personally, I like to think that the "bamboo" that Kirk used wasn't actually bamboo, but an alien plant that looked like bamboo, but was as strong as steel which allowed it to actually function like a real cannon (not blow up in kirks face)... they were on an alien planet, after all...
"can you mail a coconut without packaging?"
wha-... huh?
Germans: Leidenfrosteffekt
Americans: liiiiiedönfraustiffä-äkt
Nah, a true American just goes
“…what the fuck?”
Based on the video with that russian guy just paddling in molten iron being poured... I would say that... the effect works 100%.
Right in the childhood
I made many working bamboo cannons as a child, they are strong enough.
the real answer to the whole, "can you light a strike anywhere match with a bullet" has been answered by smarter every day with a .22 caliber bullet and a line of matches, the answer is "yes, yes you can"
Yeah not first thouth.
They ain't got that blob
so you are saying smarter every day stole the idea from a 2009 Mythbusters episode that aired on Discovery cable channel?
i wouldn't say stole, more like smarter every day was inspired by said episode and decided to try it themselves@@zakuraayame5091
Rest in Peace Grant and Jessi. Man this reminds me of simpler times. Better times.
Smarter Everyday "lit a match with a bullet" just because of this very Myth Busters episode (albeit, just a little bit differently 😂)....
for the kirk myth how do we know the cannon was made of bamboo it could have been made of alien wood which could be more dense or something.
I miss this show,also r.i.p.Grant and Jesse.
"I think we've nutted out a solution" is a line that did not age well lol
Mythbusters got me into engineering! RIP Grant. Wish I could afford things from the recent auction. Everyone from the show got me into that tech mind and lead me to FIRST robotics (Shoutout #1529). 💜
From what I remember from reading an alternative universe novel many, many years ago once you mix your black powder you then need to moisten it, form it into cakes, dry it out, and the grind it back into powder.
21:30 goddamn... imagine being able to fall asleep in a matter of minutes
Mat absolutely pissed the bed! C'mon!
It's funny looking back on this episode now that I know how to make black powder and have done so to much greater effect than the mythbusters.
3:35 * uses a Springfield 1911 45 magnum to strike a bullet. *
* takes a 17 hmr or a 22LR to strike a match*
I Became A Fan In The 1st Show..
These Vids Are An Excellent Blast From The Past. 🇺🇸
I almost can't watch this anymore.... No Grant, the groups split up, and it just makes me sad.
The mission was doomed the moment you sent out a red shirt.
44:03 Thats what she said
21:22 umm are we not gonna talk about that dusty af pillow
At 38:55 ... Was that Simcity4 music ??
This is so entertaining. Im sitting here grinning all the time. That would be a quite good idea for a reboot. Please do it. Though everybody will miss Grant of course.
Go and get you creative asses back on track. Neither TV nowadays or YT or anybody else could provide that great content.
I really hope you guys need money.😅
Come back please.
