I'm so glad these are ending up on CZcams. Thanks a lot guys
They fucked over a lot of people who purchased these shows
@@ColinBFClarke what like 2 decades ago ? 🤣🤣
@@girlsdrinkfeck you don't seem smart enough to comprehend theft
For some reason they're not accessible in the US. Maybe because of HBO Max
@@banhatlessducks Interesting, so that channel bought the license(at least in some countries)?
Thank you so much for releasing these instead of locking them behind a Hulu membership or something
Rewatching this series makes me really realize that Jamie has pretty much done it all, like, the guy is almost licensed on every single thing. Yet, only a few knows about it. He's really well accomplished.
Jamie is that guy that everyone has heard of, but ideally, would never see.
“Only a few know about it.”
Exactly the way he wants it.
Jamie was the brains,Jamie was the brawns haha
@@jocax188723 Which is actually very rare for humans. Most people want to get recognized, at least from my viewpoint, Jamie clearly was that "the quiet guy in the room you don't want to mess with".
Even pest cat exterminator 😂
If you find a bee nest near your house, contact a nearby farmer or beekeeper to come pick it up. Bees are a precious resource and both the farmers and the bees will be thankful if the nest is moved where bees can live properly and receive the right care.
Yeah, this myth/episode did not age well. Making light of just going out to kill bees is pretty terrible, given what we know these days
Yes
Yeah I was thinking that this really didnt age well
Yeah I felt pretty weird about that one. I love bees :(
The bees you’ll find making nests are unlikely to be honey bees - and honey bees (contrary to popular belief) can actually harm local and wider bee species*, they’re essentially livestock.
Call a removal dude not a farmer, and don’t use weed killer, leave the area and leave areas of bare soil to help bees.
Some bee information for everyone complaining about this episode - honey bees are not the ones we should be saving.
Honey bees are livestock, there are loads of them. They have been transported all across the globe to places they wouldn’t usually bee (heh), and they out compete other bee species. They’re actually an ecologists nightmare.
If you wanna help bees, don’t use weed killer, leave the weeds and leave patches of bare soil (for the solitary bees, the most common types of bees).
there is not such thing as a solitary bee and all bees are getting fucked by pestisides
The biggest problem with the crossbows is really how the heck would anyone manage to hide those in a prison cell.
If you possess the ingenuity to make the thing, you'd be able to figure out a way to keep it out of sight.
It's paper. So long as you keep it dismantled and hide the pieces around your cell until you intend to actually use it, it's unlikely to get entirely confiscated for being a weapon - and even if they do take a piece, you can just get more paper and remake it.
Same argument could be made with a bunch of other real weapons people have created in prison
@@sparrowflyaway You can't exactly unglue the parts to dismantle it.
1:55 lol Adams impression of jamieis 100 percent accurate.
He did an impression of Jamie, not his father. Pay attention.
Why, thank you father..
🙄
22:27 "Generally I would prefer more" this one left me gagging knowing that everyone around him knows what hes really talking about.
Gagging at a penetration joke? What planet are you from?
So what is he takling about?
@@girafmad
I think the person you replied to just meant the actual joke? Like yeah he's talking about sex that's why it's funny, I don't think there's anything deeper about it
why is a simple double entendre such an issue?
One of my favorite episodes, mainly because I'm still impressed by the inmates for ingenuity of creating weapons (most especially the plumbing gun).
Series 4, dated 2005. Can't believe how long it's been since Mythbusters aired. I've already watched every episode, but they were cut to 30-35 minutes due to adverts. It's brilliant seeing some 'new' stuff 20 years later from the amazing Jamie, Adam, Tory, Kari and Grant (what an incredible man he was - humanity needs more Grants. RIP).
RIP to Kari, too 😢
@@MajBuffalo
It was Jessie that died, not Kari
@@zoutewand truuuuu, my bad
@@MajBuffalo 💗 no stress
12:22 "Oh honey!"
Kari has seen some things 😂
Vernell sounds so hyped when he’s explaining how big and vast the prison is
The inmates made an honest-to-Browning makeshift M3 Grease Gun 😂
Wonder if that was a semi automatic bolt action too
Semi auto because making it fully automatic would be illegal as an NFA item.
A moments silence for all the bees😢🫡
All 2 of them.
@@Schmorgus tbf I typed this before we saw the results and the revival
Hahahaha they got so much San Fran Chinese newspapers to make the crossbow! When the camera zoom in I can pause and read the community news twenty years ago lol
So that's what it was! xD
I got so confused why it was covered with Asian letters!
"That is why there's no cats left int the neighbourhood!" Geez that would go down well today! LOL.
dont let your cats run feral then
Not if you love birds 😅
@@thalivenom4972 I dont own cats and i don't like them either doesn't mean i go around killing them.
@@joshyc2006 I do like birds!
This has to be at least a top 5 episode for me. Insane!
This episode ignited my love for making. I still remember building my first paper crossbow when I was 7 or 8, I was so infatuated with the concept.
I was about to express worry about a kid making crossbows when I had a flashback to myself making one from a pen and balloon and using it to launch sharp metal files across my bedroom… so no complaints from me I guess :)
thx MythBusters!!!! your show was never broadcasted in Spain and I much appreciate that you upload the episodes!!!!!
Though I love mythbusters, I can't say I'm a fan of Jamie jokingly(?) referring to shooting cats with a crossbow. He previously also talked about spearing frogs for fun.
It's not the kind of thing we want to be advertising.
Frog gigging is pretty common in the southern states.
If you can make glue, then you can make paper mache', which would be more rigid than their constructions.
But you lose flexibility, which is key in a crossbow
But then you lose flexibility
Yeah I was surprised that for all the brains and consultants, there was no mention of water sticks. Not so much for the props, but for the rest of the frame and the parts where you need the rigidity.
Water sticks are the easiest to make and most common prison weapon, along with shivs. You're returning wood pulp to a more solid state, with sufficient compression you get something akin to particle board, and there are plenty of home crossbow builds using that.
Swear jamie and adam always get the best myths
It is their show.
You mean the original stars of the show?
@@brettjarvs7458 may get too pick
I like that Grants inmate number is Pi. Lol
I Love those old Episodes. Thanks you.
This is pure gold to have Mythbusters to enjoy !
Jamie browsing underwear killed me!
Funny how they asked Adam for ID when they can put you in prison without even knowing or seeing your ID 😅
Without the ID, they can hold you for a while (depending on crime). They can't actually register you for prison time.
And the reason he asked, is because of security.
@@Schmorgus Well thee reason he asked was for the shot. They would have already been cleared for entry beforehand, notice how the c as Mera man didn't get asked??
I’m so glad these are ending up on CZcams. Thanks a lot guys
Thank you for releasing these episodes for free
@14:24 "A quick product test" LOL
one of the best episodes
No way! Full episodes?! That's SO cool!
So many innuendos in this single episode, they sure were able to get away with way more back then 😂
Another iconic episode.
I missed this show so much. Was my comfort show during childhood
this is one of my top ten episodes
For the crossbow I would've tried to make a laminated bow from paper, glue & fabric and use that as part of the power delivery. 😊
Vernell seems like a cool dude 😂
Jamies "yaaay" gives me life
The beekeepers are definitely are good old hippies, and might have much more going on then vodka! 😂
Finally you have fixed the sound bloody hell finally
2:24 Saul Goodman’s car parked out front 😂
There will be a whole generation of people that will think mythbusters is just a CZcams channel...
3:43 "semi-automatic bolt-action"
These are mutually exclusive tho, and I'm surprised they'd make a semi-automatic when making a full auto is easier (no auto-sears etc. needed, just let the bolt cycle).
Built one of those,miss those days😞
37:14 That thing reminds me of a Cylone Basestar ^^*
this is my favorite episode of masterchef UK
15:00 German surrealist painter: Unica Zürn
15:11 "Done with a capital E" 😆
3:25 Those prison made weapons are kind of creepy
9:59 Seen that coming. Bet it hurt like hell.
that bolty is straight out of Rust damn
Like in KSP, when in doubt add more struts.
Oh yes, my favorite show, Master Chef UK where they bust cooking myths.
I am absolutely eating these episodes up
2:00 the way he snatched the bow back, he was not impressed. These two have always seemed to have a bit of an off relationship
I like how Jaime gets so cut
I like Adam's Hunter S Thompson t-shirt.
The vodka might be a bee repellent though
Everybody don’t just use these episodes to go to sleep. Watch them b4 they are removed
wow this one is fresh of the press, I didn't even notice
Interesting detail: the imaginary inmate's number at 38:17 is pi, 3.1415927
about 15 mins in and now i know where the idea for the tide commercial came from
I think you could make pretty good bows usnig paper laminate composite with a good adhesive like cyano acrylate or epoxy resin.
The vodka trick with bees actually work but u have to spray at them. My theory is that alcohol sucks the water out of them and they die very quickly. I use this trick to kill all types of bugs
Sry correction i use propyl alcohol
it's a bit sad to see that they don't realize that the type of hunting game is defined by the toughness of the skin, hair, muscled, bone locations and depth of the vital organs. humans are considered small game, not because of the weight or size but because they're simply physically as weak or weaker than a rabbit.
Fun episode of MasterChef, never seem them cook up stuff like this
wow, Adam's crossbow is impressive, looks and power, haha!
I would prefer if they werent mixed. First Jamie&Co to finish and then Tori&Co to finish. To messy with the mix back and forth.
The bee vodka myth was broadcasted in the UK.
please don’t kill any kind of bees…
I don't like it, but its only 12
@@colinofay7237 Only 2 bees died though.
Bees literally only live up to 40 days if they’re lucky before dying of old age 2 dead bees is nothing when they took them from a healthy hive that already replaced them the minute they were taken
Hey I just wanted to jump on the bandwagon and say something about bees.
The beekeepers were high as fuck
woah the into considers all five as mythbusters instead of joining them
4:42 They even got Steve Harvey to do some talking
" Hey guys are you guys willing to give us your bees so we can make them drunk or probably kill them?"
Well sure!
22:26 😂😂
Please, for the following videos put the myths of Archimedes 😁🙏
Adam and Jamie claim they weren't friends, but when you look at this episode you realize they were pals.
Vernell seemed like a cool guy
Beekiller nr1 is still Breakcleaner
You can tell by those weak rolls that the Mythbusters aren't experienced with rolling joints. Lol
2:43
Crazy to see Obama before he was El Presidente
they suspose to be blue boxers made out of constricting a poleyester amd wastebadn has lot of lil white elastics right around the thing
I dislike how they changed from "killing bees" to "it's a repellent" when they talked to the beekeepers. I disliked the whole premise tbh. You don't kill bees.
Honey bees aren’t the important ones, millions are bread each year on farms and such
@@richardmontegue3131 I didn't say anything about honey bees specifically
@@Lrofmaulol the bees they killed were honey bees, not important
@@richardmontegue3131 Thanks for repeating yourself instead of addressing the point.
I'm glad the narrator got back to his mic
Ok now, be honest, tell us how inmates made the glue.
Is it possible to stop a speeding car with a giant scrap yard magnet?
killing bees not cool
22:22 LOL
given we assume that the inmates had access to tools you could make a gnarly home made crossbow using pycrete and those materials
What are footpounds?
"Let me show you its features..."
*Laughs in german*
It's the alcohol fumes that are lethal to insects. I think the test box was too well ventilated.
Killing bees purposefully and so cheerfully would NEVER make it on TV in 2024 lol
I give it 10 years for people being against using paper.
MythBusters also used pig carcasses a lot. That "meat man" crushed in diving suit one was particularly gruesome lol
i think you're forgetting the existence of hells kitchen and Survivor, the latter of which frequently features contestants killing animals to feed themselves.
@@rafael_lana
people still eat veal, despite it being tortured baby cows. paper isn't going away, nor are the killing of small animals.
@@boarfaceswinejaw4516 I never said it was going away, I said people would start complaining about it. More than 12 bees probably died of old age in that hive during the segment on that bee farm. Taking a handful of worker bees for science from a healthy colony is completely inconsequential. It's like cutting a branch from a big tree. People need to chill
3:40 A semi automatic bolt action??
The crossbows were probably not glued they were most likely toghtly wrapped and yhen tied together with strips of cloth ripped from bedsheets :)
The bee killer thing didn't age well. Considering bees are now being endangered.
It was only 12 of them, and honey bees aren't endangered.
I don't like the idea of killing them, but people in the comments should chill out
@@colinofay7237 It wasn't even 12. Actually died only 2. No idea what they did with those that remained alive tho.
im here for the bee hugger comments
I generally love mythbusters........then they just casually attempted to kill bees.
Coz if there's one thing we know, it's that bees aren't important at all to an area's ecosystem or anything.
Also, I did notice their referring to it as a "Bee Repellant" when talking to the beekeepers.
A bit of guilt maybe? Or maybe they just thought that anyone who works with bees regularly may not be inclined to slaughter a living thing for TV ratings.
Anyone who casually kills something for entertainment raises red flags in my mind.
Pretty disappointed with the Mythbusters team at the moment.
22:30 lmaooo
