Jet Taxi

Rob Lee (US Narrator): Who'da thought? Cheap car, dud battery. Jamie: It seems like you have to take the car tire off in order to change the battery. What is the point? Probably because someone built the damn thing in a computer and doesn't have any sense. Piece of crap. Rob Lee: While Jamie curses all things modern...

Levitation Machine

Adam: This is the show. It's like four minutes of science and then ten minutes of me hurting myself. Adam: COME OOOOON!!!!!! Rob Lee (U.S. Narrator): It's a very un-MythBusters-like moment.

Elevator of Death

Since we're here anyway, can we film a horror movie?

Elevator of Death

Faceplant!

Elevator of Death

Jamie: 92 feet, to the top of the pulleys. Kari: Uh, 92 feet to the dead bird.

Elevator of Death

[Holds up a dead bird.] Two words — Naaas-tee. Ugh...

Elevator of Death

Elevators are designed not to fall. Fortunately, the MythBusters wrote the book on disabling safety features.

Elevator of Death

Anticlimactically enough, I believe I've disabled the entire mechanism by removing this simple pin.

Elevator of Death

I believe this is more damage than we've ever done to Buster in one myth before.

Beat the Radar Detector

Scottie: We'll never get pulled over for going six miles an hour! Rob Lee: A few of the guys from CHPs [California Highway Patrol] are on-hand to oversee the experiment. If anything does beat the radar, they wanna know about it. Tory: [to police officer] Which is gonna be more expensive: the speeding ticket or the littering ticket? CHP Officer: [laughs] The littering ticket. Tory: The only thing that gave us any result, but just barely, was my favorite—And I think you'll like this one, Adam...the Radar Wheel of Death! [The Build Team plonks it in front of Adam.] Adam: [laughs] Oh my god!

Plywood Builder

Adam: 10 inches tall…25 pounds. I just did the math. I need him to weigh 25 pounds. Jamie: So you're saying that he needs to be built out of depleted uranium. Adam: [Laughs.] Do you have some? Is it under "D" or "U" over here?

Plywood Builder

Rob Lee (US Narrator): Adam removes 5 plywood sheets from the 12 available. Adam: Screw. Rob Lee (US Narrator): Uhh - make that 11. Adam: One tore, bringing it out...trying to get it out of the way of Jay the cameraman!

Jamie: You're probably right. But then you never know. Adam: [nods] But then you never know.

Bathtub Electrocution

Rented it for $10... and it's dripping on me! God knows what's in this water.

Bathtub Electrocution

Let's get on our knees and pray. I don't know to whom. Is there a patron saint of ballistics gel?

Bathtub Electrocution

Next up, we have the iron, or as we like to call it, "Fierro de los Muertos!"

Bathtub Electrocution

If Jamie doesn't believe it'll work, then I have no trouble dropping the toaster in the bathtub when he's sitting in it. But something tells me he won't.

Bathtub Electrocution

What kind of ground fault interruption is this? It's pumping water! I would say that's bad!

Bathtub Electrocution

Turns out there are two faults in the system: Adam and Jamie.

Bathtub Electrocution

Adam: Whoa... Rob Lee: Our friend here is...toast. Adam: Oh yeah: 12 milliamps. Toasters—no good.

Adam needs a cookie.

Killer Quicksand

[pushing Adam into the quicksand] Drown, you bastard!

STOP SPARKING MY [censored]!

Pingpong Rescue

In Monterey Bay, Ping-Pong ball plus sea otter equals jail time for at least some member of the crew, I think we'll have to draw straws to figure out who.

Boom-Lift Catapult

All right, I'm gonna count down...49, 48... just kidding. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Aaand Buster didn't even spill his coffee.

Boom-Lift Catapult

Doing things "the MythBusters way" usually spells trouble... on a titanic scale.

Boom-Lift Catapult

It's audacious. It's ludicrous. It's... MythBusters.

Boom-Lift Catapult

I think it's about a 10% chance of the whole thing falling down, about a 40% chance of Buster actually flying any distance, and the other 50% is Buster going "FOOM!" right in front of the thing.

Boom-Lift Catapult

[commenting on the amount of destruction] Hey Adam, would you say it's safe to say that there won't be a second shot?

Boom-Lift Catapult

Kari: Myth totally failed. Completely busted. Totally, completely busted. Scottie: And Buster: busted. And boomlift: busted. Jamie: And everything's busted. Adam: Ground: Scottie: busted.

Boom-Lift Catapult

Jamie: MythBusters. Adam: Breaking big things for science, every day.

Needle in a Haystack

Jamie: NASA can put a man on the moon. Adam: But can the MythBusters find a needle in a haystack?

Needle in a Haystack

Jamie: That means the first stop is a hay store. Adam: Uh, otherwise known as a farm. Rob Lee (US Narrator): Ah, the hay store.

Needle in a Haystack

Adam: Its funny, because if you asked me to pick out what you would think of as your traditional, y'know, "movie-type" hay, I would point to the straw. Jamie: Traditional "movie hay?" Adam: Yeah, y'know, like the people are always getting stuck in a hay bale or rolling in the hay, or whatever they do in the movies? Thats what I would think of as hay. Jamie: Having a roll in the hay with your girlfriend? Adam: Yeah... don't get all red-faced.

Needle in a Haystack

Do you see his [Jamie's] machine working? It's like Dante's Inferno over there!

Needle in a Haystack

Adam: I can see the cut now, "Hey! We'll be drinking mimosas in an hour or two."... Adam: [in a flashback clip] We'll be, like, sipping mimosas on the beach... Adam: ...Cut to, "6 hours later, Adam's team is still going at it." Rob Lee (US Narrator): 6 hours later, Adam's team is still going at it. Adam: "They've found two needles..." Rob Lee (US Narrator): They've found two needles... Adam: "But still have the smallest needle and the bone needle to go." Rob Lee (US Narrator): But still have the smallest needle and the bone needle to go.

Needle in a Haystack

Adam: This is adding some magnets to the front end of our feed trough. These are super strong neodymium magnets. And see if we can't pick the needle out at the very beginning. Scottie: You just had your finger on it! Rob Lee (US Narrator): Good idea. Jamie thought of it ages ago.

Exploding House

All right, so I think my faulty wiring of the faulty wiring is no longer faulty, so that it's correctly faulty.

Exploding House

Yet again we're blowing things up in front of my shop. And not only that but there are noxious chemicals involved which will probably leave a residue over the whole block and, um... I guess it's okay. I'm getting used to it. So are the neighbors.

Exploding House

Time to take stock. Model house — check. Potentially explosive bug bomb — check. Various open flames and electrical sparks — check. What could possibly go wrong?

Exploding House

Big boom, big boom, big boom!

Exploding House

Here on MythBusters Makeover, we're turning this lovely California bungalow into a disaster zone.

Exploding House

That's what I wanted to hear!

Talking to Plants

Putting all of these greenhouses up on the roof, I think I'm gonna get checked out by the police for growing pot or something up here, y'know. It's like "What are you doing?" It looks kinda suspicious.

Talking to Plants

Tory: Do you have hardcore, to-the-bone death metal? Music Store Clerk: Do we ever!

Talking to Plants

I just think the talking plants are committing suicide because they're listening to [in a very high-pitched voice] "I loveyouloveyouloveyou" all freaking day!

Talking to Plants

Kari: [From the recording] If you were in college, you'd be a freshman! Adam: You called the plant a freshman? Kari: [embarrassed] I... I was running out of material!!!

Talking to Plants

Scottie: [to a pea plant] I hope your roots rot in hell. The only thing you're good for is giving people gas. Kari: [yelling to another pea plant] YOU SUCK FRESHMAN [censored]! [to a crew member (normal voice)] How's that? Scottie: Beautiful round green peas... Kari: You nasty little awful green pea that's ruined every single burrito I've ever had.

Talking to Plants

Kari: [Talking while mimicing a mitten puppet.] The plants are doing very well today, Tory! Scottie: [In the same puppet voice.] Hi Tory, what plants do you think are doin' better? Tory: Hey, you guys... [Leading them to the door in a concerned way] Scottie: Well I think the heavy metal plants are better! Because there's so much anger in this world it really helps to listen to that kinda stuff so we can get it all out. Tory: Its okay, shhhh. Scottie: [Answering herself] Oh! I can see what you mean! That classical music really kinda makes the hairs on my neck stand up! Tory: Lets get out of the sun.

Talking to Plants

Dumbass peas.

Talking to Plants

Me and Tory are going to try one of the Death Metal peas.

Ming Dynasty Astronaut

In this line of questioning, the only way to know without... being educated is to just keep on trying different formulations. And at a certain point we have to stop and just, you know, blow [censored] up.

Ming Dynasty Astronaut

I think we need to get some professional help... and then I think we need some rocket experts.

Ming Dynasty Astronaut

You makin' pudding?

Ming Dynasty Astronaut

80 pounds of gunpowder, 22 idiots, 1 crash-test dummy... priceless.

Ming Dynasty Astronaut

Just like Xuan Hu, Buster's vanished, but he's no astronaut. In fact...he's toast.

Ming Dynasty Astronaut

His a** is on fire!

Ming Dynasty Astronaut

And here I thought the Elevator of Death was the most damage he's ever withstood. He is burnt to a crisp! [in a Chinese accent] I going to teach you a lesson.

Ming Dynasty Astronaut

I'm staring at a Chinese-dressed crash test dummy on a throne strapped to 70 pounds of gunpowder. [laughs] I just had another one of those Mythbuster moments.

Ming Dynasty Astronaut

Buster was taken to another world in a puff of smoke.

Free Energy

Jamie: Kind of makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, don't it? Adam: If you mean it makes me feel like I feel about the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus, yeah, that kind of warm and fuzzy, cause it's a FANTASY!

Free Energy

I'm not sure what it's gonna do, but it looks cool.

Free Energy

Nonetheless, we were able to do it with a reasonable number of tests, and I'd say it's busted, busted, busted! and I don't wanna get any e-mails about it!

Free Energy

That might have been, I dunno, a bad noise. I'm releasing the mysterious blue smoke here. The problem is once you release the mysterious blue smoke, electronics don't work anymore.

Killer Ceiling Fan

Adam: As long as you're going to do it with me, let's make sure everyone knows who it is. Adam: You'll have to tell me how it turns out 'cause I can't see a damned thing. Kari: [Points to the bust.] Judging by the Coke bottles on this thing, he can't see a thing either

Killer Ceiling Fan

It's like a little tornado down here!

Killer Ceiling Fan

Adam: Absolutely, and so probably some human cranium, we've done this before when we did Penny Drop.. Scottie: Human cranium? We have human cranium? Adam: I have the human cranium in storage, yep. Scottie: You would! Adam: We have one of everything here at MythBusters.

Cement Removal

It sounded like we just planted a midget with a paper bag.

Cement Removal

Jamie, I swear I left it right here!

Cement Removal

This has got nothing to do with the myth; it's just a big boom.

Cement Removal

Talk about removing concrete; there is no concrete; there is no truck; there's no nothing.

Cement Removal

Failure is always an option on Mythbusters.

Cement Removal

Well, there's your problem! It's all gone, man that's it... (Laughing) Mythbusters 1... Cement Truck,0

Cement Removal

OK, everybody say it with me... Jamie wants big boom.

Salsa Escape

Christine: Don't shoot me with that pellet gun. Adam: I'm not gonna shoot anyone with the pellet gun...[imitating southern accent] Not unless I have to!

Salsa Escape

Jamie: Did I ever tell you that I worked as a concrete inspector for several months up in Seattle? Adam: Was this before or after you were the big animal veterinarian for the circus? Jamie: No, I never did that. You must be mistaken.

Salsa Escape

Think, then act. Don't act, then think.

Salsa Escape

[Looking at level on top of homemade concrete prison] Oh my God, it's level! [level falls over] awwwww...

Salsa Escape

Jamie: Time for us to pit our skills against each other. Adam: You have an unfair advantage because you've broken out of a Mexican prison before.

Salsa Escape

Adam: What is that? Jamie: This is a radio. Adam: How'd you get a bloody radio? Jamie: I was good.

Salsa Escape

If anything, my bar is bigger! I'm increasing the mass of the bar!!

Salsa Escape

Jamie: He's practicing for his experience with the electric chair. Adam: Ow! [cries in pain] ow, hot, burning, salsa napalm!

Salsa Escape

Adam: God, this stuff smells rank. Jamie: It looks kinda like... poo.

Salsa Escape

You know, I don't think Jackie Chan used real wee for this. God, this stuff smells rank. Eew, it's warm! I didn't want it to be warm! There's wee everywhere!

Driveshaft Pole Vault

It's our mission to destroy the car, no matter what.

Driveshaft Pole Vault

This is pure dumb luck, if it works, that's why I wanted Adam on it.

Driveshaft Pole Vault

[to Adam] Anytime you show up I'm scared.

Driveshaft Pole Vault

[to Adam] Your way of working is one of the great mysteries of our time.

Driveshaft Pole Vault

This is MythBusters - of course I'm expecting problems.

Driveshaft Pole Vault

[to Kari, about Tory] Let's egg him on until he hurts himself. That's always fun. [to Tory, laughing] Why do I always laugh when you get hurt?

Driveshaft Pole Vault

For you—one nice, greasy part: guaranteed to get your shirt dirty.

Driveshaft Pole Vault

Scottie: [sniffs] Smell that? Kari: What's that? Scottie: Baaad things.

Driveshaft Pole Vault

MythBusters took another car out of its misery.

Driveshaft Pole Vault

Kari: I have to say the jackhammer makes you look really tough, the little red wagon... Tory, Adam and Jamie in unison: Not so much

Exploding Port-a-Potty

Scottie: Maybe it's a myth that methane is flammable. Adam: It's not a myth; we're just idiots.

Exploding Port-a-Potty

Kari: I guess we don't have a Plan B because we kinda expected Plan A to go off without a hitch. Adam: You should never, ever, ever expect Plan A to go off without a hitch. Usually, Jamie and I, it's Plan D.

Exploding Port-a-Potty

This is the point of in day, which we come to many times, when we start to go, "What else do we have that's flammable in the truck?"

Exploding Port-a-Potty

(mimicking Adam; puts ear up to the hose) "I hear it!"

Real Car vs. Toy Car

[Holding toy car.] I got my first kiss over one of these. Then he punched me.

Real Car vs. Toy Car

Adam: It's the newest kid thing. It's Brick Car! It's faster than anything and uglier than anything, too. Jamie: And if you throw it at your brother really hard, it'll kill him!

Real Car vs. Toy Car

Adam: Shall we race? Jamie: Yeah, whatever. Adam: 'Cause whoever wins this race is BETTER!

Real Car vs. Toy Car

Adam: It looks like it was built for one thing: it was built for super speed! Jamie: I think it looks like it was built for killing children. ...And what's all that crap on the back of it? Adam: That's the rocket engine, man! That's the solid... rocket... fuel... boos...ter...thing!

Real Car vs. Toy Car

Please note the Hyneman doing his careful straightening work. Jamie's people have been track-straighteners since the Middle Ages.

Buttered Toast

Y'know, my toast, my toast ALWAYS lands butter side up!

Ancient Battery

I'm building the Ark of the Covenant. Well, a replica.

Ancient Battery

Kari: On a scale of 1 to 10, what was the electrocution pain on that one? Tory: Uh, I would say 211.

Ancient Battery

Ho-leee!!!! I feel like I just got punched in the chest!

Ancient Battery

What he [Adam] doesn't know is they might have replaced the ancient batteries with an electric fence transformer...which would be the dirtiest trick in MythBusting history.

Ancient Battery

Adam: Now, you guys haven't hooked in the electric fence thing in here, have you? Kari, Tory, and Scottie: Hahahahaha, no!

Ancient Battery

Did you feel God?

Cooling a Six-Pack

Science, plus beer, equals good!

Son of a Gun

Bloody hell, I think he did it…

Son of a Gun

Rob Lee (US Narrator): And in the pouch, well, let's just say a sample of genetic legacy has been obtained and dyed blue for easier visibility. Jamie: Genetic legacy? IT'S SPERM! Any kid in grade school knows that! Helps make babies, you know?

On the Phone in a Thunderstorm

Adam: What are your plans, my master? Jamie: We are going to take over the world. Adam: Ohhh, yeeesss.

Breaking Glass

Adam: So, this is "MythBusters" wine glass breaking test number one, simply playing a tone through the speaker to the glass. That's it. Dr. Roger Schwenke: I'm really sorry. I need to actually plug that speaker into something. Adam: Oh, details, details.

Breaking Glass

The best-case scenario is that the glass shatters in my face! How do you think that makes me feel?

Breaking Glass

Jamie: Jaime, what am I doing wrong? Jaime Vendera: You have got to shave your moustache!

Breaking Glass

Yeah...there's probably a bunch of engineers looking at me and going "What the hell is he doing here?!" And, ah...I've been asking myself that as well on a moment-by-moment basis...

Jet Pack

I love aluminum... aluminum, I love you [smooches aluminium part].

Jet Pack

We're either gonna die, or we're gonna fly.

Jet Pack

The problem with making two, is that once you've done one...you're only halfway there!

Jet Pack

Damn this is a sexy machine!

Pyramid Power

Can we not do any more of these "oogie-boogie" myths, please?

Pyramid Power

Tory: [to Kari] Baby give us a kiss. You don't find me hot, like this? Kari: You look like hell!

Killer Brace Position

Kari: I promised my mom I wouldn't do anything dumb and unsafe again. Tory: Looks like you didn't keep your promise. Kari: I just want to say I'm sorry, Mom and Dad.

Killer Brace Position

Jamie: Did she come with a bra? Kari: We want it to be decent, this is a family show. Jamie: Where did you get the bra? Did you give her yours? Kari: No!

Cell Phones vs. Drunk Driving

Once again, I'm going to humiliate myself in front of a very large audience.

360° Swing

[After breaking a swing set and falling to the ground.] I'm so glad we had the mats!

360° Swing

Kari: Busted, but the rockets were spectacular. Adam: Well, hopefully, that's our job... to strap rockets onto everything!

360° Swing

Sounds like a good way to break your neck.

360° Swing

Yet another everyday household item turned deadly.

Bulletproof Water

Adam: Well, that ought to silence most of our detractors on this one... but I expect we'll still get some complaints. Jamie: Yeah, like you didn't use a cannon, or something...

Bulletproof Water

Jamie's picked up enough ammunition to start a military coup.

Bulletproof Water

They have more guns here than in a Tarantino movie.

Bulletproof Water

(points to the .30-06 bullet) This kills you (points to the .50 bullet) this kills you and everyone else in the room.

Bulletproof Water

We should all get ready to break down and pack up... hopefully we'll be out of here before the pool completely drains!

Bulletproof Water

The worst case scenario today is someone dies from a bullet wound.

Bulletproof Water

It's smaller than my head... it's all right.

Bulletproof Water

Well, it looks like we're not gonna be shooting any more guns off in the shop.

Border Slingshot

Ah, the hazards of giant slingshot-making...

Border Slingshot

Shockingly [holds up an improvised sling they had just used] That didn't work! I-I can't imagine why...

Border Slingshot

[holding up a bowling ball] Now this may look like one of the lost Seeing Stones from The Lord of the Rings, but it's actually an eight-pound bowling ball. What we're going to do is head out to some unsuspecting football field, rig up our unreasonably large slingshot to the goal posts, and probably embed this bowling ball somewhere in the next town.

Border Slingshot

Adam: I think what we've got here is a thing. Jamie: Looks like a big-a** slingshot to me.

Border Slingshot

This is gonna kill you!

Border Slingshot

Unfortunately, humans are big heavy things.

Border Slingshot

The Boom-Lift Catapult tossed him a respectable 90 feet... if you include the 60 feet of boom. In Raccoon Rocket, 10 lbs. of black powder blasted him 80 feet. And in the myth of the Ming Dynasty Astronaut... well, he just got burnt to a cinder. Come to think of it, Buster could do with a launch break.

Border Slingshot

Here, let me give you a hand.

Border Slingshot

And while Jamie is hard at work rigging up the rig, Adam is busy fulfilling the "fooling-around" clause in his contract.

Border Slingshot

The kid's a goner - but how's the slingshot?

Border Slingshot

When it comes to handling children, Jamie's old school.

Border Slingshot

With an array of test-firings planned, Adam paints the projectile to guard against lead poisoning. Because - that's bad.

Killer Tissue Box

This is your head. [thumps box of ballistic gel with axe through it] This is your head with an axe in it! Are we clear?

Killer Tissue Box

I'm sure that there is a speed where a bobble-head could be lethal, but I don't think 45 mph is that speed.

Killer Tissue Box

So clearly the second spike was Buster twisting to get out of the way of the deadly tissue box!

Killer Tissue Box

That the tissue box is the only thing in the car that's completely undamaged might just prove the myth!

Hair Cream Decapitation

Well, I like danger.

Hair Cream Decapitation

With the hard work done... Adam arrives.

Escape Slide Parachute

We're not leaving here without Buster, man. Leave no crash-test dummy behind!

Escape Slide Parachute

Rob Lee (US Narrator): Small crash-test dummies, friends and family of Buster may find the following pictures disturbing. Adam: [seeing Buster's remains] Oh no! Oh, my God! Oh, crime-iny! Rob Lee: "Criminy"? So shocked he makes up a new word. Adam: I think I'm calling the local fire department and seeing if they have any Simulaids.

Escape Slide Parachute

[running to the landed escape slide] Wowwwww!

MythBusters Revisited

If there is one scratch, one out of place bolt on this jet pack, Jamie and Adam will lock us in a closet for the rest of the season.

MythBusters Revisited

Adam: That's the next revisit; someone's gonna write in and say, "you guys should have used an RPG, 'cause that would definitely have blown up the car!" and then we'll go get one of those, and then we'll blow up the car, and then there will be some other problem. Jamie: And we're fine with that!

The Five Second Rule

I love having bacteriological... test stuff!

The Five Second Rule

Adam's as happy as a kid with a new chemistry set. Come to think of it, Adam is a kid with a new chemistry set.

The Five Second Rule

Jamie: It's a shop... whaddya want? Adam: I wanna be able to eat off the damn floor.

The Five Second Rule

Adam: Whoops! I picked it up within 3 seconds... would you eat it? Jamie: I wouldn't eat it just because you handled it.

The Five Second Rule

Adam: So, no french-kissing dogs I think is our conclusion here. Jamie: I would be more inclined to say, no french-kissing Adam! Adam: I don't eat my own poo!

The Five Second Rule

For some reason...I have the desire to smash them on my head.

The Five Second Rule

Bleef bloth? Wlhat bleef bloth? Thlis bleef bloth?

Chinese Invasion Alarm

So, Jamie? If we, uh, find gold, are you gonna share it with me?

Chinese Invasion Alarm

Y'know my people come from a long line of goat shavers, so I feel it's in my blood.

Chinese Invasion Alarm

Apologies to everyone who actually makes their own drums... we have no idea what we're doing.

Confederate Rocket

Rob Lee: While the Boxer makes progress, the Hale is out for the count—because Jamie's made an error of schoolboy proportions, and, to avoid public humiliation... Jamie: You know, if I don't talk, you don't get any good TV. Rob Lee: ...he's run away from the cameraman. Jamie: ...Nothing. Rob Lee: 'De Nile (denial) is a river in Africa. Adam: C'mon, what happened? Did you accidentally weld the thing at the end of your pipe that was supposed to be a screw fitting? Rob Lee: Overzealous welding has sealed his rocket shut - and he's not happy. Jamie: [censored]

Confederate Rocket

I've got a Boxer rocket, and I'm gonna fire it!

Confederate Rocket

Jamie: I don't know, but I think that's one of the rockets, and, judging by the size of the hole, I - I think it's mine. Jamie: I don't know, I'll see if I can feel the end of it… Jamie: [giggling] I'm still not touching anything! Crew member: Uh-oh, backhoe time!

Confederate Rocket

This is where the danger zone happens. When nothing happens for a while, everyone's like "well, let's get closer... let's get closer... let's get closer..." and BOOM! everyone's dead.

Confederate Rocket

Rob Lee (US Narrator): We clearly have ignition... but what the hell's going on in there? Rob Lee: Not so much "fire in the hole" as fire in the whole shop!

Confederate Rocket

Hey, that WORKED!!

Confederate Rocket

So when you add "donkey" to "rooster", you got a violent reaction.

Compact Compact

A lot of things would have to go right for that plan to work...

Compact Compact

Adam: What was your plan for stopping these things? Tory: Well, there wasn't really a plan...

Compact Compact

We've got ourselves a runaway (semi). Uhhh... Run away!

Compact Compact

I'm a little sad because it didn't go exactly as planned. We may have to revisit this one - but WOW!!! (They did revisit it several seasons later)

Compact Compact

Did you actually think we were going to confirm this one?

Compact Compact

Adam: This myth, much like the two trucks, and the car, is totally busted. Jamie: Boy, is it busted!

Compact Compact

Jamie: Let me see that pulley there... Rob Lee (US Narrator): The biggest crash in MythBusters history, and he wants to see the pulley??

Compact Compact

Adam: Some nice toggles! I'm saving those! Grant: Dude, you're salvaging in the middle of a rescue operation?! Adam: Why else do you think I got into this line of work?

Compact Compact

Tory: How do we stop this thing? Rob Lee (US Narrator): That's a very good question... with no answer.

Compact Compact

[commenting on their first test] I hope you enjoyed that little sequence of failure.

Vodka Myths

It's not foot odor, it's foot "oh, dear!"

Vodka Myths

There is no dignity in television.

Vodka Myths

And this is the 'plastic bottle brand' vodka... [whispering] always the finest for MythBusters!

Vodka Myths

Kari: You know, my eyes are watering being in the vincinity of these three items. I think I need an official umm... Tester. So while you continue chewing. [Adam nods] Grant Imahara, I need your nose! Rob Lee (US Narrator): Dead man walking...

Vodka Myths

Grant: Would this be considered a perk of your Mythbusters experience? Kari: Are you talking to me or him?

Vodka Myths

Adam: I have to say, I think there are going to be a lot of jealous fans out there that I'm getting my feet washed by you, Kari. Grant: Now you know you've made it.

Bottle Rocket Jet Pack

See? Science IS fun.

Bottle Rocket Jet Pack

Tory: What...the...hell are you guys doing? Kari: (giggling) I'm a piñata!

Bottle Rocket Jet Pack

Kari's too nervous, no more jokin'. Let's grim up.

Bottle Rocket Jet Pack

I'm pumping as fast as I can!

Bottle Rocket Jet Pack

Holy crap... run!

Steel Toe Amputation

I don't know about you, but that looks like some pretty crushed toes to me.

Seasickness-Kill or Cure

(on Jamie) He will ride in that chair, he will swallow his vomit...

Seasickness-Kill or Cure

(when Jamie won't yield to seasickness) He's just a little too amused with this; it's starting to piss me off.

Seasickness-Kill or Cure

(in the seasick chair) This is fun! I could do this all day!

Seasickness-Kill or Cure

(on the wrist-strap seasickness cure) It may work for Barry Manilow, but it don't work for crap for me.

Paper Crossbow

Rob Lee (US Narrator): It's been a while since Adam hurt himself on the show - but this setup has potential. Rob Lee: Yup - business as usual. 60 pounds of force across the knuckles is going to sting a little.

Paper Crossbow

Adam: Dude, if the full draw of the bow makes it collapse, is candy gonna pour out? Jamie: Adam's, you could use as a club and it'd probably be just fine; you could still shoot it.

Paper Crossbow

Jamie: I've always had a fascination with crossbows. I've had this one since I was a teenager. That's why there are no cats left in the neighborhood. Adam: I can imagine the scene... [mimicking Jamie] Why... why, thank you, father...

Paper Crossbow

[giggling] I shot Grant in the face!

Paper Crossbow

[giggling] I got him right in his left nostril! Oh dude! that is so going right in his nose!

More Vodka Myths

[Commenting on the LED display of a clothes dryer.] It's done with a capital "E".

More Vodka Myths

Oh, it's terrible! They're drunk!

More Vodka Myths

Wow, Tory, you're like some kind of bee whisperer!

More Vodka Myths

Why don't you do some Bee CPR? BPR!

Shredded Plane

What? No elaborate setup? No scale tests? No blueprint plans? This could be the quickest Mythbust on record... if Jamie can start the chainsaw.

Archimedes Death Ray

Work faster, slaves let's go! Protect your masters!

Archimedes Death Ray

Tory: What in the hell is that thing?! Adam: It's the disco mirror from hell!

Archimedes Death Ray

Jamie: So holding still isn't good enough? We have to move into the line of fire? Professor Wallace: Shut up, you lazy Roman pig, and do as you're told!

Helium Football

Okay, these are ready. Don't tell him which ones we have.

Helium Football

Well, it's weird talking without any oxygen in your system... WOW!

Helium Football

There's still a couple anomalies, out of 10 there were 3. That's good enough for MythBusters.

Helium Football

Adam: It amazes me that you still don't realize we're filming a television show. Jamie: I'd think we would at least aspire to not be idiots? Adam: And yet we would fail.

Helium Football

Rob Lee (US Narrator): So there's your answer. At 110 PSI you'll lose a football, but gain a hat. Jamie: What are you doing? Adam: I put everything on my head.

Facts About Flatulence

Adam: My dignity and good television—they'll never meet. Rob Lee (US Narrator): At least not on this show.

Facts About Flatulence

Roger that! We have flatus contained. (imitates klaxon) AWOO-GAH! AWOO-GAH!

Franklin's Kite

Ballistics gel—I love it!

Franklin's Kite

Tory: It's the death kite—the kite of punishment. Grant: [laughing] That made it all worthwhile!

Franklin's Kite

Tory: Well, we killed a dead President. Grant: He (Ben Franklin) was never President. Tory: Wasn't he? Damn it.

Franklin's Kite

I've heard that in every schoolroom I've ever been in...'cause I've been in a lot.

Franklin's Kite

Kari: It sounds really, really dangerous. Grant: It could be very dangerous. Tory: Or it could be a lot of fun.

Franklin's Kite

Grant: Stability appears to be an issue. Rob Lee: You don't say. Grant's kite is doing more spins than a washing machine.

Helium Raft

Look at this. It's a cathedral... of failure.

Helium Raft

Adam: This wins as the strangest position I've ever been in...on this show. Kari: [looking directly at the camera] Don't you love how he qualifies it with "on this show"?

Helium Raft

[after inhaling helium] Once, in every generation, a myth comes along that does not thrill us.

Cell Phones on a Plane

The MythBusters feel the need. The need... to be very, very still.

Bullets Fired Up

I'm searching across the desert for a pencil-sized hole!

Bullets Fired Up

Adam: Jamie, please don't shoot bullets at my head. Jamie: He's only got one ear. Adam: We don't need ears to test the lethality of falling bullets.

Myths Reopened

With all the safety precautions we are taking, check this, check that, you have to stand back and say: Damn! I'm lightin' salamis, man! I'm making a rocket out of meat!

Myths Reopened

There's meat everywhere!

Myths Reopened

This may look like salami... it may smell like salami... it may even taste like salami... but it's rocket fuel.

Myths Reopened

Well, this is one of the strangest things I've ever done... I'm about to chuck a salami into the lathe!

Myths Reopened

I'm washing my gun.

Mind Control

Adam: So, guys, how did it go? Tory: Psychic helmet totally works. Adam: Really?!? Tory: Actually, no, not really...

Dynamite Paint Job

Jamie: The flower of death. Adam: Los flores de los muertos! (The flowers of the dead)

Dynamite Paint Job

You're gonna paint your house with explosives? That's crazy!

Dynamite Paint Job

Remember kids, I have health insurance!

Exploding Pants

[to camera] If we don't meet again... I love you.

Exploding Pants

Kari: [while watching "rubbing machine"] This farmer sure's walking fast. Tory: Well, he's in a hurry.

Exploding Pants

If it's worth doing it's worth overdoing, right?

Exploding Pants

Friends and family of Buster should look away now.

Exploding Pants

Somebody ordered some exploding pants?

Exploding Pants

Grant: Well they singed the hell out him, but they didn't actually blow up, there was just a lot of fire. Kari: You are so hard to please. Tory: Yeah, if I was a farmer, and my pants did that, I'd say "my pants blew up!", I wouldn't worry about specifics.

Exploding Pants

Tory: Frank, why are you standing so far away? Frank Doyle: Because I wanna continue to live. Tory: So then the next question is, why am I standing so close?

Crimes and Myth-demeanors 1

(From a lift as the Build Team builds the assault course) Now remember that the safety word is "Run!"

Crimes and Myth-demeanors 1

Adam: I think Jamie's just going to be like [mimicking Jamie's impending crawl up an air duct with magnets] "CHUNG!" "CHUNG!" "CHUNG!" And I believe, in a security manual, the proper response to that sound coming from your duct is to just riddle your duct with bullets. Rob Lee (US Narrator): With Grant and Kari heading up security, bullet riddling is unlikely. But with Tory...you never know.

Crimes and Myth-demeanors 1

Adam: [laughing] Why, Thor, the god of thunder, is trying to enter my building! Tory: Somebody needs to check that air conditioner! Rob Lee (US Narrator): [as Jamie continues] Here's some key phrases from the surreptitious entry heist manual: Be the breeze [clang] As light as a feather [clang] The foot fall of a kitten. [clang]

Crimes and Myth-demeanors 1

Surreptitious? I don't think so.

Crimes and Myth-demeanors 1

Jamie: Lets get cracking. Adam: Um... cracking? Jamie: What?

Crimes and Myth-demeanors 1

I guess I could break into a building too by beating on the ducting with a sledgehammer.

Crimes and Myth-demeanors 1

Kari: Is there anything more attractive than the sound of gum being chewed? Tory: Yes there is, watching you chew that gum.

Breakfast Cereal

Jamie: Kinda reminds me of high school, for some reason. Rob Lee (US Narrator): Ah, Jamie's school days. Playing football, growing facial hair, and drinking cardboard

Breakfast Cereal

Y'know, it tastes uncannily like cardboard.

Breakfast Cereal

Remember this, kids — cardboard is low in fat!

Steam Cannon

It's wedged in there like... I don't know if I could build something that could wedge it in there that hard... Oh - apparently, I did!

Steam Cannon

But didn't we spend two seasons busting the last Archimedes myth?

Killer Whirlpool

It's the toy every kid wants for Christmas! A container ship! "Gee, thanks dad! Now I can replicate international commerce!"

Killer Whirlpool

Jess: Urgh - smells like pizza. Rob Lee (US Narrator): Welcome to the team, Jess.

Killer Whirlpool

[Imitating heavy French accent.] Is everybody ready for DIVING?!

Killer Whirlpool

Adam: Do you care to explain what we're doing 60 feet above the ground, standing above 9000 gallons of swirling water and...I'm in a wetsuit? Jamie: Sure!

Killer Whirlpool

Have you ever really looked at the sky?

Snowplow Flips Car

This is a cursed item. There are cursed items in the world and this is one of them. It's everything we try and do to it, goes wrong.

Snowplow Flips Car

Make no mistake, this is a deathtrap.

Snowplow Flips Car

Kari: I don't know but this feels very dangerous, I have a bad feeling about this, something is going to go wrong. Grant: And that is different from the other times how...?

Diet Coke and Mentos

Adam: ...I did what any boy would make—uh, what am I allowed to call it, a plasma sword?—except, instead of a limited beam of pure plasma, it's soda! Rob Lee (US Narrator): Not so much Yoda, but soda.

Diet Coke and Mentos

Rob Lee (US Narrator): Adam, for reasons known only to himself, puts a bottle of cola on Jamie's lathe. Adam: [to camera] Okay, this'll be our little secret.

Diet Coke and Mentos

(in French accent) I have been a bubble sculptor for about 20 years. The Bubbles are very fine way to sculpt the real world.

Diet Coke and Mentos

That was like the beast dying at the end of the movie! "WRRROOOOOEEEAAAGH!"

Diet Coke and Mentos

This is one I've known about for a long time, it's called "Dry Ice Bomb." Years ago I went to an ice company to pick up some stuff for Jamie, this was like 20 years ago, 15 years ago, and it said: "You cannot buy dry ice unless you are 18", and I thought: "Why would that be?" so I said "Hey, how come you can't buy dry ice unless you are over 18", and the guy goes: (assumes a "surfer dude" voice) "Oh, 'cause you can stick it in a 2-liter bottle and make a huge bomb out of it; it blows up, it'll, like, set car alarms off across the street; it's really cool! (normal voice): and I thought, "You're new here, aren't you?" Since then I've always wanted to try it.

Shattering Subwoofer

[camera shows a shot of Jamie's shirt] This better work... my shirt's all dirty.

Shattering Subwoofer

We have three melodies...they're called First Gear, Second Gear, and Third Gear.

Shattering Subwoofer

Inexplicably, Adam is wearing chainmail.

Earthquake Machine

We're 100 feet away, and I can still feel it moving the bridge... it's eerie.

Earthquake Machine

Adam: And now we're going to see if we can shake this bridge apart. Rob Lee: Uh, hold on Adam... Adam: [in a flashback clip] I promise that if this works, we'll use this power only for good. Rob Lee: Yeah, right Adam.

Earthquake Machine

Rob Lee: Keen-eyed observers will note that the guys are actually standing on the bridge they're trying to destroy. Confidence in Tesla's machine isn't exactly sky high. Adam: Neither Jamie or I give a high percentage of anything actually occurring out here, nonetheless MythBusters is nothing if not a compendium of ways in which Jamie and I have been wrong.

Stove Myths

Tory: I'll do the lava lamps. Kari: I'll do the stove. Grant: [pauses] ...I'll do the math. Rob Lee: While Grant calculates with what to do with his day off... Grant: A theory is that the shock of cold water will— [lava lamp suddenly explodes] Tory: [Laughs] You should have seen the look on your face, it was priceless.

Deadly Straw

[commenting on the penetrating power of piano wire on the palm tree] Hey, what do you think? You think we can get that [piano] wire to go all the way through an engine block?

Primary Perception

Cool, we get to torture yogurt!

Killer Cable Snaps

I love hearing big sounds in the next room.

Killer Cable Snaps

[being whacked repetitively on the shoulder by the cable] Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow.

Killer Cable Snaps

Oh please, please, let there be a pig cut in half in there!

Killer Cable Snaps

Adam: (Referring to their lack of success in cutting the pig in half) Can we get a sword? Jamie: (laughs) Meat cleaver?

Pottery Record

Rob Lee (US Narrator): The voice of an angel rings out... Kari: (yells at full volume) TORY! Rob Lee: ...or maybe, make that the devil. Tory: That was a good one, Kari. Now I know what it would be like to be married to you.

Air Cylinder Rocket

It was the lard that did it!

Air Cylinder Rocket

Jamie: These tanks are actually filled with geese...and they're complaining. Adam: (silence) Was that a joke? Fascinating...

Rough Road Driving

Alright, Grant. I'm ready to start breaking windows with rocks, but before I stick you in that car to shoot it, I wanna make sure we can actually break a windshield with a rock.

Exploding Lighter

The only thing that differentiates you and me from a couple of 14 year-old pyromaniacs... is ballistic glass.

Concrete Glider

Rob Lee (US Narrator): ...there's a chance that maybe Adam will let [Jamie] forget about it. Adam: [imitating Jamie] It's not about winning or losing, it's about proving the concept. [normal voice, slightly giddy] But I won!!! Rob Lee: ...But unlikely.

Firearms Folklore

Tory: I was inches away from hitting it. Kari: Inches? Grant: "I was just inches away!" Tory: I hit the same spot as before. Grant: Then why don't you put the nail there? (laughs) Rob Lee: It's worth noting that a smart remark rarely goes unpunished.

Anti-Gravity Device

Kari: You see that hole where it blasted off? Tory: No. Kari: Nope, neither do I.

22,000 Foot Fall

Adam: So, we need you guys's help. Um, we wanna focus on the large-scale experiment, and we want you guys to do the bench tests for us; the small-scale experiments. Kari: Aye, aye, captain! Whatcha need?

22,000 Foot Fall

With a plan as concrete as that, what could possibly go wrong?

22,000 Foot Fall

Perfect. I'll tell you what. Um, all we need is to get him up to 120 mph. That's a human's terminal velocity; we know that from umpteen myths we've done about people falling.

22,000 Foot Fall

Well, OK, considering we're going to be blowing up a sheet of glass, it's probably a good idea to, uh, give ourselves a little bit of protection.

22,000 Foot Fall

Say it with me, "Jamie wants big boom!"

Lights on or Off?

But first, they need to do some shopping, which will highlight another question: "How many MythBusters does it take to buy a lightbulb?"

Lights on or Off?

Kari: These will explode, these will melt, this will kill you—this is great. Grant: Welcome to my world.

Hindenburg Mystery

This ingredient is made of blur. Ha! And this has blur in it too. Blur is very dangerous. You don't wanna mix blur with blur.

Hindenburg Mystery

For this cooking lesson, Adam will need the fire suit, and it's safety masks all around. So - just like gumbo night at Adam's.

Hindenburg Mystery

[after a thermite square ignites without warning] Deuteronomy!

Hindenburg Mystery

Adam: We don't need a high-speed on this, we need a time-lapse. Rob Lee (US Narrator): Anything you say, Adam.

Hindenburg Mystery

That would be the textbook definition of irony, kids...

Hindenburg Mystery

Next on Discovery, the world's deadliest piñata!

Hindenburg Mystery

Adam: WHOA! (in quiet voice) Okaaaay... is everybody okay? Rob Lee (US Narrator): Eh... fresh underwear for Mr. Savage, please.

Speed Cameras

Show me what you got, cheater.

Exploding Nitro Patch

Why is it that the first day of rain we get for the entire year, is going to be the day we're using... high explosives and electricity - whoooo!!!

Myths Reopened

[Holding shotgun] Boy, you'd better marry my daughter!

Walking on Water

If I had any dignity, that would have been humiliating.

Walking on Water

(To Jamie) Come, Silent Walrus, let us storm the castle! I will don my safety gear!

Walking on Water

Oh, I am as stealthy as the night. Don't I look like silent death, bringing justice in the night?

Big Rig Myths

(In a hill-billy accent) Dude, give it more gas! Ah hell. That ain't a truck no more, that's a dynamometer!

Hot Bullets

Adam: (with British accent) All right, Jamie, here's your motivation: this oven door 'as run off with your wife, [Jamie laughs] and you've decided to gear up and get even. So go for it! Rob Lee (US Narrator): I guess the moral is: don't elope with Mrs. Hyneman. Adam: While I don't necessarily think it's lethal, it definitely took a while to happen. So you might think, "Oh well. I guess nothing's gonna happen." and come back over here... BOOM! All of a sudden, your head's in a fireball and you're missing an eyebrow - and I know what that's like.

Red Flag to a Bull

Rob Lee (US Narrator): ...and our trio of tall-tale tacklers (are) speaking in bull. Grant: Moooo! Tory: Those are whales.

Red Flag to a Bull

Rob Lee (US Narrator): ...and Grant stunt-double requires an CPR. Grant: Don't give up on me now! Tory: Are you done playing with yourself?

Bull in a China Shop

Grant: You know how they say Tory is like a bull in a china shop? Tory: No. Kari: Yes.

Bull in a China Shop

So the first guy has let the team down. They were expecting a bull in a china shop to be like... well, a bull in a china shop.

Grappling Hook

Adam: It’s a key component on the belt of Nocturnal-Echo-Locating-Flying-Mammal-Man. Jamie: Batman? Adam: Yes. Shhh!

Grappling Hook

Jamie: You all set, Batman? Adam: I'm all set, Boy Wonder.

Ring Punch

Grant: So, you named your guy there? Tory: Yes. Grant: What did you name him? Tory: Pork-loin-io. Kari: You did not. Tory: He's an evil pig-man.

90 Degree Turn

Ah, the Newton's Laws! We forgot the Newton's Laws!

90 Degree Turn

(regarding the hook shooter) That was that first time I ever felt any real danger.

90 Degree Turn

Tory: Holy air cannon Grantman! Grant: How long have you been waiting to unleash that one? Tory: All day!

Exploding Water Heater

The water heater shot up so high, you could order a pizza while you wait.

Exploding Water Heater

(stepping out of the house they built) Hi everyone! Welcome to the Mythbusters Clubhouse!

Exploding Water Heater

House? What house?

Pants on Fire

Kari: [about the myth] This has Tory, written all over it! Tory: Why am I always written all over it?

Shrinking Pants

Kari: Are you ready to let go of the muffin top? Grant: I am ready to let go of the muffin top. Tory: But is the muffin top ready to let go of you?

Supersize Rocket Car

Go ahead, tailgate, see if I care. The Batmobile can kiss my butt!

Supersize Cruise Ship Waterskiing

[in the water with a bird next to him] Hey, my little friend! You better not attract any sharks, you little [censored].

Shooting Fish In A Barrel

The people at home want more! Right, guys? You want more? Okay, they want more, Jamie! My head is sticking out of the bottom of the barrel. [pauses]

Shooting Fish In A Barrel

We need to stress that no fish have been or will be injured in filming this myth. They're mostly blown to pieces.

Hot Chili Cures

Sombreros, boots and bandoleers. A desperately clichéd battle looms between the tragically uncool, the undeniably hot... and these two idiots.

Hot Chili Cures

[about the fact that he hasn't eaten this much spicy food] I hope that my head doesn't explode.

Hot Chili Cures

Toothpaste stays in the bathroom - not on the dinner table!

Hot Chili Cures

My Prediction: Pain. And lots of it

Elephants Scared Of Mice

You expose the mouse and all hell breaks loose!

Elephants Scared Of Mice

Adam: So, how are we going to get this mouse to those elephants over there? Jamie: Slingshot!

Elephants Scared Of Mice

MacGyver and elephant dung... Must've missed that episode.

Pirates 2

Tory: [As Tory and Kari start to water down the sand] It's like watering a little Grant flower. Adam: I hope I don't step on a octopus. Tory: I've been a baaad pirate.

James Bond Special 1

It's Hyneman. James Hyneman.

James Bond Special 1

My name is Grant... Imahara. What's my name?

James Bond Special 1

Anyone else feel like an evil genius? (Tory guffaws)

James Bond Special 1

Bye-bye, double-oh Buster! (all three laugh manically)

Lead Balloon

Jamie: [whilst making the fragile lead balloon] Little did the MythBusters know there was a herd of cattle in the next room! Adam: This is a lead balloon! Who has one of these?! Nobody!

Surfing with Dynamite

Tory: Yahoooo!!! Grant: Have you lost your damn mind?

Airplane on a Conveyor Belt

I'm not sure if I can handle this, actually. We're using this particular item the way it was intended to be used.

James Bond Special 2

[In Italian accent] So, I finish my statue, and I like to call her 'Hey, there, Lonely Girl', but I canna' look at her too long, 'cause she make me cry. So, now we're gonna try to chop her head off!

James Bond Special 2

Hey, be careful with those statues, I hear the heads fall off at the drop of a hat.

MacGyver Special

Grant: Well, he's got the filaments, and he has lockpick experience. Tory: Can we just pump in the nerve gas now?

Sharks 2

We are going to start at the giant iguana. And if that doesn't happen, we will go north until we see the two humongous parrots. Hopefully they won't eat us. And let's not forget the floating dolphin head! Everyone wants to see it! I know I do!

Sharks 2

Oh, damn you and your science!

Sharks 2

Oh {censored}, something just touched me!

Sharks 2

I just want to say to whatever fans posted this on the fan-site, I hate you. I hate you! I HATE YOU!

Cabin Fever

Can I remind you that I'm in the exact same conditions as they are, except I have to watch them be bored?

Cabin Fever

I'm pulling a trick on Jamie and Adam, with the help of... Mr. Abominable Snowman!

Cabin Fever

(unenthusiastic) Oh great, we got a yeti outside.

Cabin Fever

Haha! Adam's hiding in the toilet! (sticks out tongue at the screen displaying Adam's sheer bravery)

Moose Mayhem

Do ya think I'm excited? You better believe I'm excited. We just built a rubber moose and now we're gonna crash cars into it. It doesn't get better than this.

NASA Moon Landing

Kari: It's a portable hug! Apollo Specialist: I think they're crazy.

Phonebook Friction

Adam: Does this remind you of when you used to count money for the mob? Jamie: I was a hitman; I wasn't a money counter.

Phonebook Friction

I just wanted to make a phone call. That's all I wanted to do!

Beer Goggles

Kari: What is red and smells like blue paint? Adam: I don't know. What? Kari: Red paint.

Well, we've got our bamboo. It's time to go back to the shop and torture some dummies.

Viewer Sequel Threequel

We're gonna blow the CRAP out of that toilet! Get it?

Viewer Sequel Threequel

[In an East Indian accent] Jamie is imagining himself to be a plant.

Viewer Sequel Threequel

This may look nice and sunny. And it is. But it's also a torture chamber. Or will be soon.

Viewer Sequel Threequel

Yeah, normally Grant's a better shot when he's using the toilet.

Viewer Sequel Threequel

I feel like I've been lied to. What I saw on that internet video was an explosion.

Viewer Sequel Threequel

Next on MythBusters, extreme plumbing!

Viewer Sequel Threequel

I ate a radio for science!

Viewer Sequel Threequel

Jamie: [referring to whether brandy from a St. Bernard will bring a person back from the brink of death] Or this is like an apertif before I eat the dog? Adam: You can't say that!

Viewer Sequel Threequel

It's always a good day when you start it at the bomb range.

Fall Guys

Alright, when we talked about this in the blueprint room, it seemed pretty straightforward. We just grab on to an edge and see how long we can hang on. But now, standing on top of this seventy-five foot building, I'm wondering is this really necessary? I mean, can't we just test this hanging off a doorframe?

Fall Guys

[Grant is suspended on a harness] Anybody got a bat?

Fall Guys

Rob Lee: And as Adam once said... Adam: Gravity, man... it's not just a good idea - it's the LAW!

Fall Guys

My prediction is I will hang on for ten minutes, at least, and then you'll see the traces of my fingernails going down the wall.

Fall Guys

Does this harness make me look heavy?

Fall Guys

Grant: Alright, you ready for two inches? Jessi: Look, my fingers aren't even two inches long, of course I'm ready for two inches.

Fall Guys

That, my friends, is one half of one inch. And that is about how much I can hang on. I'm predicting a lot of pain.

Fall Guys

I'd love to see the action hero who can hang on to that!

Fall Guys

[Imitating Arnold Schwarzenegger] Get to the choppah, Grant!

Jamie: Let's count 'em down [the top 10 most popular myths] Top 40 style. Adam: All right, get ready for your favorite myth!

Adam: [In strange accent] Do not try what you are about to see at home. We are what you call 'experts'. Jamie: [In normal voice] And what am I supposed to say? Adam: [Attempting to imitate Jamie's voice, while moving Jamie's jaw by hand] That is right, we do this for a living.

I understanding these things [SCUBA tanks] have about a million—or actually, it's 1.3 million—pounds of explosive force. I'm not sure what that means, but it sounds like a lot.

Arise, my son!

Holiday Special

Kari: Do we want to talk about why I just got hit in the head with a thumb? Grant, Tory: Um...no.

Holiday Special

Adam: Pay close attention, 'cause here's exactly what's going to happen. At the top of this cone are ten bottles of cola. At a prescribed moment, Jamie will yank on this string, releasing a Mento into each of those ten bottles, which will then spray cola down into this funnel, down into this tube, up to this pair of wires, which will make an electrical contact, which will release this motor... [deep breath] ...sending this bowling ball spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning down. It'll stop, but the bowling ball will keep on spinning, release itself from the screw, fall down, hit all ten Santa bowling pins, which will yank on the string, send the skiers down. The skiers going down will yank on this magnet, which will release this soda bottle, sending the party favor going bup-bup-bup-bup-bup, going like this, boop, releasing this Mento, tick-a-tick-a-tick-a-tick-a, all the way down into the basket, releasing this Mento, tick-a
