Remember a few years ago when that picture of a dude that looked just like Adam showing his butthole to his webcam surfaced on the internet and everyone really thought it was Adam for a while?

That was peak Mythbusters

You're right though, it was Adam instead of Jamie and it was peak Mythbusters for sure.

I like how the butt they needed for the toilet thing was supposed to be a huge fat butt, but they decided to start with a very very good butt, 3D scan it, and then turn it into a horrendous tragedy with the computer

I loved the show but stopped watching about a year after they ran out of ideas, and every year since I'll see an ad and think "Holy poo poo, is that still on? I should check it out some time", but I never do. It kinda makes me sad to think that won't be happening anymore.

same although the year they ran out of ideas was like <2009 and i havent watched it since.

they filmed one ep basically in my neighbor's backyard with the gas station in the first season so that was cool

They did a lie detector episode and Tory revealed that he was actually 40 but took advantage of the fact he looked younger to pick up college girls in bars.

Also there was that weird thing when Grant started, how he had hosed up teeth and between seasons they had him get them fixed.

spoilers for the series finale:

-a reason will be contrived to make the biggest explosion they've ever done. It will be filmed from multiple angles in slow mo and still won't look that great.
-a scripted imitation of light off-the-cuff banter will be performed by jamie and adam with all the enthusiasm and emotional investment of a numbers station reader.
-a record-breaking 87% of the show will be filled with re-caps of what happened before the commercial break, teasers of what's coming after the commercial break, and talking head interview shots of people re-explaining what they just did or are going to do.

actually since they dumped the build team its been pretty good about stuff. they just blow stuff up because they admit blowing stuff up owns hard, no reason needed. adam does all of the talking alone. and the recaps are cut way down to almost not being there at all.

that could have just been his decision to get them fixed. its only a couple grand for a new and perfect smile.

its a safe assumption that every celebrity has had their smile straightened out, bar the ones with distinctively weird teeth

Along the lines of the evolution of the gang.

Check the first season and then jump ahead to like season 10 and notice the incredible difference.

From a shoe string affair to professional makeup teams, personal trainers, hair stylists, some plastic surgery, dental work, wardrobe.

Kari used to be all and now she be all

Adam to

when mythbusters started i always pictured the b team to be like interns in their early 20s and that mental image remained through the entire series despite actual 10+ years passing. it blew my mind last year when i looked them up on wikipedia to find out they're all in their mid 40s now

Didn't they get Grant to admit that he fantasizes about having sex with a robot on that episode too?

Like two years ago, the Science Channel started showing old episodes. And the same four episodes seemed to just repeat for weeks at a time. It turned me off so much that I just began to avoid Mythbusters all together.

I liked when they built a shark punching robot out of sex toys and literally never mentioned it and just hoped nobody would notice the thing was pummeling sharks with giant silicone fisting aids

I caught the middle of an episode on TV recently where the whole thing was Adam flying a U2 spy plane, and he was completely flipping out about how excited he was because he was getting to fly in a high-altitude jet, rattling off tech specs and blowing his load when he could see the curvature of the planet, etc.

I didn't even know what the myth was until the end, and it turned out to be "is the U2 spy plane the hardest aircraft to land?" which seemed really stupid and not a myth that anyone's even heard or gives a poo poo about. Congrats on getting to fly exotic aircraft on Discovery's dime, tho.

adam seems like a cool dude whose actually enjoying just blowing poo poo up and doing really stupid zany poo poo on discovery's dime.

Why would they fire Kari? She was a huge reason why people watched :confused:

They doubled their workload by firing her and those other two dudes, and now they're tired of all this work.

no i think they actually have interns or other employees that actually do most of it--they just don't show em. pretty much the same thing with the "build team" (who were i think always there in some form or another, just discovery decided that they could use the extra face time from the more attractive employees)

Yeah, grant even said that really only he and jamie do any actual planning, Adam and Kari are pretty much idea fairies who vomit out suggestions while Tory would actually help the interns build poo poo from time to time.

They have a lot of workers but Adam is still pretty great at building poo poo. He makes videos for the Tested youtube channel of him making silly nerd props (including a recreation of The Shining hedge maze replica that he then donated to the Kubrick museum because theirs was so bad) and I always get a shitload of notes for my own projects from them

mythbusters is cool and all the cast members are cool and do cool things outside the show
