One of my favorites definitely has to be the elevator jump test.

Probably the one when they were trying to blow up a toilet by dropping cigerettes down it.

Kero - nope
Petrol - nope
TNT - yep. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Anything where Buster gets really mashed. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I suppose then it's a toss-up between Buster+washing machine & Buster+barrel of bricks

what are you all talking about?

A cool show on Discovery Channel.

I like a lot of them.

I remember they made a gun that shot out a penny, I think, or something and the bald guy shot the younger lad once or twice with it. Good stuff.

There was also one with a car that was dragging something behind and it got caught on a light pole or concrete pole and it ripped out the rear axle. I think they were trying to reenact some police report on that one.

The penny gun was kind of cool. I wanted one just so I could shoot some one twice and walk away as I say, "There's my two cents.". http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Trying to create the Ice bullet that 'supposedly' killed JFK.... Thats the one that hooked me on to this series.

It's bloody brilliant. God love Jamie and Adam. For all our imaginative needs.

The one where they put the firecracker in the trombone to try to get the slide to fly off and the mute to shoot out.

It's the trombonist's revenge on the goddamned string section.

For me, the tree cannon (I love that explosion!). And anything that requires high speed camera photography.

Peeing on the third rail was good too http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh, thought of one without any explosions. The alcatraz escape with the raincoat raft. . . And the lightning one.

It pisses me off that they keep showing american chopper and monster garage, which have both long since lost my interest. So rare that I see Mythbusters on anymore. And when are new episodes coming out?

[Mountain Man]

Yeah, the wooden canon is the one that comes to mind. They stopped the barrel up and fired it, and the canon literally vaporized!

[IHerman]

Basically every experiment has some cool side. Obviously explosions rule.

I like it most when they have to go to extremes to get the desired result.


The explosive decompression experiment was the first episode I saw. It was bloody brilliant and the reason I watch it every week now.

I missed the one about peeing on the third rail. Was it a myth or not? I would think its possible to get shocked that way.

it was only possible if you are about 3 inches away from the rail whilst taking a leak.

One this week was an absolute crack-up. They were dropping Buster off a building with different types of parachutes. Probably the funniest yet. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif (Wooden parachutes? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif )

The Jawbreaker one will make you be alert when there's a youngin' near a microwave and they have one of those giant jawbreakers.

those things are a molten sugar bomb after the microwaving process.
