      Sorry to burst your bubble but that line was most probably fed to him by the producers. Cause in one of the early behind the scenes special episodes of the mythbusters, you'll see scenes like that where the producers will pause the scene after Adam says something funny and tells Jamie to answer with a particular reply. That one episode ruined the show for me

    I feel like the phone book one is confirmed because it said that it’s basically impossible to separate them and if you have to get 2 tanks to separate them then that is an extreme nobody can do. Getting 2 tanks to do it is basically the definition of ‘basically impossible’

    Why do I feel like the shark explosion got some changes in the script during the filming.
    the 2 1/2 sticks of dynamite worth gave an impressive explosion that took out the shark. So the dialogue in the movie works out right.
    But someone said the explosion had to be bigger. And they cut down on the taking apart stuff to get powder part.

    I've been watching the full series again, and I have to say, I think Jamie had a sense of humor that Adam just didn't understand. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Adam Savage, but I think he got irritated a lot when Jamie was trying to be funny. Also, I'd imagine Adam's ADHD didn't help matters much either.

    In the 21st century, printed phone books are increasing criticized as waste. In 2012, after some North America cities passed laws banning the distribution of telephone books, industry group sued and obtained a court rulling permitting the distribution to continue. In 2010, manufacture and distribution of phone books produced over 1,400,000 metric tons of greenhouse gasses and consumed over 600,000 tons of paper annually.
