What are your favorite episodes?


There are some that I just love seeing more than once :D

Let's see....

"Cooling a six-pack," where they tested the Baghdad Battery and shocked Adam with the fake Ark of the Covenant.

"Vodka Myths," which involved seeing if Vodka could be used to cure bad breath and stinky feet.

"Jaws Special," with a lot of shark myths.

"Mythbusters revealed" where you learn a lot about the cast and crew behind the scenes,

"Franklin's Kite," where they tested Ben Franklin and farting myths (it was so funny how they tried really hard to be "tasteful" on that episode)

"Holiday Special" where they mostly had fun with a Rube-Goldberg machine, and also tested to see what would keep live Christmas Trees green longest

"Hindenburg Mystery," I loved watching them build a miniature Hindenburg and burn it down.

Both Pirates Specials. Who doesn't love watching Adam act like a fake pirate? It was funny both times.

"Red Rag to a Bull" was great, because you learn a lot about bull behavior. I totally didn't expect the results the Build Team got for their experiments.

"Exploding Water Heater" I just LOVE watching the water heater turn into a missile and blast out of the mock-up house they built.

"Shooting Fish in a Barrel" it was funny seeing Adam make the "zombie fish" talk during the various tests they did, hehe

Both James Bond specials were fun, particularly when they made the giant exploding pen, or when Adam acts like a cheesy knock-off of some Bond Villain.

"Lead Balloon" I am just astounded by what they did in this episode, and how they got an actual lead balloon to float!

The Viral Hour with the fainting goats was funny ;)

The NASA episode was great, because it truly does prove that we went to the moon. There's no way they could have truly faked some of the stuff you saw in the films. Plus it was fun seeing Adam in a space suit.

"Motorcycle Flip" was awesome, because you got to see them try to imitate Indiana Jones when he flipped the Nazi on his motorcycle (or rather, they TRIED to flip the motorcycle).

"Greased Lightning" is a must, because a.) you learn EXACTLY why you do not put water on grease fires in the kitchen, and b.) what it would take to put them out if you DID use water, hehe.

The Duct Tape Hour episodes are fun, because you learn so much about Duct Tape that even I didn't know. It gets even better in the 2 episodes where Jamie and Adam had to survive a deserted island and the Grand Canyon with nothing but Duct tape.

"Storm Chasing" was epic, because I'm actually a tornado enthusiast, and you get to meet one of the teams that works with a TIV (a Tornado Intercept Vehicle). Plus, I never expected Jamie to invent a new way to protect yourself in a twister.

"Mission Impossible Face-Off" was funny, because you get to see Jamie and Adam pretend to be each other, literally, hehe.

"Torpedo-Tastic" this one is fascinating, because the hosts test out an early torpedo concept that was supposedly invented in ancient Sumeria, although you also get to see, probably why it never "took off" with the ancient engineers. Plus it was fun to watch the Build Team do crazy things with wine bottles.

The "Flying Guillotine" episode was awesome, because you watch the Build Team try and test out different designs this mythical weapon supposedly had in ancient China (and then see why it never was properly implemented.) Plus it was fun watching Jamie and Adam cook with C4 and not blow themselves up.

I think I'm gonna stop here, because there are more, and I've already mentioned many I like :D
