They should have a control test though. Release a balloon full of dye or plain water or something.
That's exactly what I was thinking while watching this. I thought that's what they were going to do when he starting say "It's not science unless...".
this guy is using his brain
Keld
I think they should also had done it once with a slow leak, and seeing if sharks ever approached. Suddenly releasing it must be the scent equivalent of shooting someone stood right next to you, you're going to freak out.
Kirothe Avenger this man has a way with words
I mean, I'd run if I smelt dead human.
afreerobin lol your funny you just earned a like 😊 😃
How do you know what dead human smells like
@@Leo-zk9rd probably a dead mammal smell I bet
I wouldn’t.
afreerobin true
I think the sharks got scared because of the blast of bubbles
💯
+GSG SWAT but its a different type of speed then the ones coming from them. idk lmao
+GSG SWAT out of the norm
yeah think so too, when they popped the ballon the vibrations caused
Yeah, because nothing scares sharks away for multiple minutes quite like bubbles and quiet noises.
I love how at the beginning Jammie said "why would you want to repeal a dead shark"
If you really need to repeal a dead shark, you are in some deep shit
Jammie-jammie jammie-jammie-jammie
repeal lol.... repel is what you are looking for.
Canada is awesome iusciiqfecifUdwcybeoxhaUgdi.ybe?kha.cud
repel. you repeal stupid democrats overbearing gun laws, you repel sharks
For all the people who think the sharks got scared because of the balloon popping, the second test at 3:15, they released the dead shark essence without exploding the balloon and the sharks still swam away
My teacher loves this series because it's kewl.
This is something that is generally accepted fact, the sharks running from dead sharks, but the balloon probably caused the initial reaction.
They were freaked out By The exploding balloon
+Aldi Ikhsan watch the 2nd time they do it,
The balloon didn't pop, there was a zip strap on it and Jamie cut THAT, not the balloon. And the *POP* that was heard was the music.
+Jehu Medina bro, youre right,,,, its the MUSIC thats BANGGGG
+Jehu Medina Nothing you say matters; Why? Because Sharks are extremely sensitive to sounds/vibrations and there is still a LOUD sound produced by that balloon when the "zip strap" was cut, the sound/vibration from that NOISE travels A LOT faster than the smell can, and that is a scientific FACT. They were not freaked out by the smell but by the noise/sound/vibrations produced. Do it again with ANYTHING inside of the balloon (maybe even NOTHING) and they will react the same, 100%.
Yes, it certainly seems like they were startled more by the sudden pressure change inside the balloon than anything else.
The first one spooked them because of how it came out of the balloon. The second one seemed legit.
I think the same!!!
x2eXu50x i thought that too, but then again when have you seen sharks get spooked from anything let allone a balloon. I think is a case of 1st one who smelt it. And the smell spooked them. Think... They say cam smell drop of blood from 3 miles away. Well 3 feet away! Booyaas!
Well this is an artificial smell. Its a replicate of a chemical dead sharks release when they die. Evidently its most effective within its own specific species. The real thing is more effective.
Either way, it got rid of the sharks, which is the goal.
x2eXu50x I thought that also.
I wonder if they left because it smelled of a bigger more dominant species of shark
I think because sharks have such of an amazing smell, and the fact that it smells really bad to humans, I think it smells 10x worse to sharks because of the power of their nose.
It only smells BAD to us because our evolutionary traits have summed up a natural distaste for rotten or inedible organic matter. Sharks, however, have a different diet which consists of materials that would actually be harmful for us to eat.
i think that could be true because some sharks eat other sharks so i cant see why it would bother them so much
+FaZe Carpet So you're telling me that sharks don't bath?
Volume_ Lights I said the same shit shark are known for eating smaller sharks why would the smell of a dead shark bother them
Lower me the Bat Shark Repellent Robin!
+LILPAPASMURF97 Ha ha ha I saw that too
hahahahahaha nice :)
jeepers batman!
I understand this reference. Yay.
Holy fishatony batman look
Where is your control? The release of the repellent was explosive; shoe me that the same thing won't happen with any sort of violent release of air into the water.
The second time they did it it wasn't explosive.
I just commented about that. I agree an explosive release of air OR "repellant" is enough to scare the sharks. They are skittish to loud noises such as bubbles from a scuba diver (which takes them a little while to warm up to the noise). I think it was the explosive release that scared them off.
RichieRidez Watch the second time they did it you fucking idiot
Watch your fuckin mouth tough guy.. Your mommy is telling you to come upstairs for dinner
Brolog Sanctum who has their dining room upstairs?
As a fisherman I know that one of the very best baits for big sharks is a piece of another shark so................
Would you consider that the dead shark they used may be more of a corpse shark, that'd probably be unusable as bait.
Thats true
RikkiTikkiTavi dead means smelly rotten not fresh as we eat
Xistence Xplains Theology yes i come from South Africa and im a Represent my country in Shore Angling and when we use shark bait we useally let the shark bait sit in the sun for n few days...then it works the best because of the smelll it gives off
Peacock it would be dry by then. Most of the enzymes or whatever pheromones would've been destroyed by the sun.
80% of comments- the explosion scared them not the smell
20% of comments- Batman’s shark repellent
So Batman's shark repellent is real?!?!?!
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Am I the only one who thinks that Jamie's beard and mustache makes him look like a walrus?
That's been a thing forever
The Mad Hatter lol wtf no
The Mad Hatter i'm dead
lolz
shark thought the same.
The sound scared them, not the smell..........
no sound in second test...
David Beauchemin The sharks were already dissipating in the second test. This one test in a long list of tests that mythbusters could not get an accurate result on and had to make up a result to sell the episode.
+EVOLICIOUS so sharks fear bubbles? Why aren't you selling a bubble maker to surfists!?
EVOLICIOUS ummm no they weren’t
hmmmmmm think just thing have you ever seen a shark with ears???
there was a documentary of orcas attacked a shark in their hunting area and all sharks in that area fleed and never returned
yea I saw that one, apparently its a defense mechanism that if something around is killing other sharks you probably should get the heck out of dodge
Queenlogy BeauT because the sharks know the orcas will kick there ass its not cause of the smell or the sight of a dead shark
Queenlogy BeauT I remeber that they head to a place in the Pacific tentatively called the "White Shark Cafe"
Queennie a.k.a. Adelene oh boy, u just gave me idea. Small waterproof speaker that plays the recording of orca pod!!!!
Tore open it's liver, played with it's remains.
01:27 That shark is so kawaii.
all it needs is some blushing cheeks
What kind of scientist is this, the sharks clearly got scared because of the pressure release
Ayas the second one wasn't that loud
Abbas aboud it has been proven by scientist that chemical from a dead sharks scares living sharks. The living shark is under the impression that somebody out there is strong enough to kill a shark.
Omfg watch the whole video before you try to roast people.
I feel like after some time, if you were in the right conditions, a larger more "supreme" shark would show up. Like a big huge scavenger.
This isn't Jurassic Park 3.
+Safton I mean like a big great white...
+Maverick Pugsly not in the Caribbean
This isn't Pirates of the Carribean 3.
Maverick Pugsly huge tigers, hammerheads and bulls
sharks are such beautiful creatures, they swim so gracefully...
Xavier H. Well they can't stop swimming
Then they om-nom-nom your legs
Xavier H. they bite gracefully too
Chris Playz. Lol they suffacate if they stop moving as their gills constantly need fresh water moving over them since the gills cant move water on their own unlike most other fish eg goldfish or bass
Albert bob some shark species can, funnily enough, all of those huge shark species somehow don't have that. Smaller sharks seem to be a lot closer to "normal" fish, and sometimes just chill on the ground
What species is that? They are kind of adorable
Watch to the end
Carribean reef shark as well as nurf sharks.
the same i want in my fish tank
Reef and nurse sharks, the more calm of the species
Black fin sharks
This is amazing. Play the movie jaws at any theater and have crates of this stuff and this video playing outside the theater and you should make billions. Especially in Florida and California.
"Why would you want to repell a dead shark?" lmao
Your telling me the shark repelling spray is more realistic than Nolan's Batman escaping the atomic bomb in the third movie? Holy crap
Adam West needs to see this.
I wonder if it's the actual smell of a dead shark that repels them, or if it's a very sudden change and a very distinct smell that scares them off. I wonder if you used dead sheep, or even perfumes, or volcanic ash, if they'd react the same way simply because it's an overwhelming smell they weren't expecting so suddenly and so overpowering.
Batman '66 first used this
Bobby Stinklehoffer howd he use a spray underwater though
CubicL3 I
CubicL3 o
TwoTacosForPaco he wasn’t. He was hanging from a rope ladder
CubicL3 oh my gosh ur right!!!!
One of the best things about my life is the complete lack of sharks and the need to repel them.
Pfff... I farted once and my sister ran away.
Therefore it's concluded, my fart is a cow repellent
So your calling your sister a cow!?
3:40 exactly! This works on sharks that are subject to predation such as blacktips nurse reef sharks etc. However, as a shark fisherman, I will tell you that tiger sharks, hammerheads and bulls will READILY eat these smaller species, meaning that dead shark scent my have the opposite of the intended effect. Also, the noise of breaking the bag open may have played a part.
You kill sharks??
imo, the sharks was scared of the sound the balloon made.
+Gex121 They didn't use a ballon the second time. Watch the video again.
Ahh, i see that. thanx for pointing it out to me.
"why would you want to repell a dead shark" i lost it loll
I think the sharks just got scared at the beginning because there was like a big blast of bubbles in the first test
Lauren Mueller I understand that, but you’re point doesn’t back up the second test
They bailed because of the way the thing shot open & scared the shit out of them, not because of the smell.....
20 seconds in the video, sharks eat other sharks, especially dead ones. who said they don't like the smell of deaf sharks
+Ayo alpaca
Meat is good, rotten meat isn't.
when something dies it don't give that smell right away you smart ass
What does a deaf shark smell like?
Prob a Smell of a Shark with special needs
I Cant Walk, that may be so, but this myth involves distilled juices from long dead sharks, not fresh meat from recently dead sharks.
If some gangster is dissing your fly girl shark, just give him one of these...
They just jump in the water with sharks like it's nothing lmao
Now we know what the Bat Shark Repellent was made from
Any one remember the Shark Repellent from Batman TV show
Furqan ul Haq I saw it in the Lego batman movie cus I wasn't around back them
@@johnthechamp4208 same bro
Batman:*heavy breathing*
I was really happy to see the level of questioning and thought put into the comments on this video.
that stuff should be called "Essence of NOPE-fish"
Yes it should
No just no
if I ever go surfing I'm gonna put this in a nice Velcro strap on my arm.
KURU
That would do you know good. You wouldny be able to use it when attacked out of no where. How ever...if you wish to try it which i advise you not to khuz it is obvious it doesnt work....if it did the sharks would not have returned a short 5 min later but you shoukd put the liquid on your body then surf to really test if it works or not
" Essence of Dead Sharks" Sounds like a Utility item you can buy in an RPG game
They should invent a spearfishing suit to test shark bites.
2019 anyone
Nice advertisement for the product 😂😎
Essence of dead shark sounds like a boujee perfume that rich people would buy
truth that it may be a specific breed of shark that it works with - due to the rate of diffusion its effect only temporary- which may need to be dropped in deeper water or in different temperatures to ascertain if it is only specific to the conditions of the water. Kudos that you were in the water with the beasties without any ill effects!
Sharks killed 10 humans per year
Humans killed 2000 per year
way more than that humans kill 100 million sharks a year
wonder how the myth busters werent scared
2:14 Meanwhile a grouper was like "Ehm, wassup guys"
I almost forgot how much I loved watching these guys lol 😂
Don't things eat sharks in the ocean
+Christian Vincent Yes Megalodons do.
+F Dannn Megalodons were sharks and are extinct, they don't count.
MIngeB❒X They aren't extinct. They are down there man. They are down there.
+Christian Vincent ... Orcas eat sharks. Love 'em. With a side of fava beans and a nice chianti.
Holdenon3 gph.is/1g0hAvI
This is not a good experiment. Did you guys see the strength of the bubbles at the moment when the the liquid was released? That might have an impact affecting the results of this experiment.
That does give me an idea for an alternative shark repellent -- a small explosive device. Kinda like an under-water firecracker.
Not on the second one
Bubbles wouldn't scare off over a dozen sharks though. Just the ones who felt it.
You’re point doesn’t back up the second one though
“Why would you want to repel a dead shark?”
The shockwave of them opening that under water made them repel, not the repellent
Surfers could maybe use it in the future in case they were being attacked by a shark,, maybe then I'd feel a bit more safe swimming in their homes ☺️👌
They freaked out because of the ballon
The smell of dead shark is one of the worst smells I have ever experienced.
4:05 Adam got us all
Sharks are cute in a dopey kind of way.
yup totaly cute when they are tearing u apart and eating ur flesh and drinking your blood yup so cute
Elliotic quite an understatement. Cows kill more people per year, than sharks even attack, let alone kill
I wonder if pepper spray would work as well on sharks? Works well on dogs and bears why not sharks?
+Cold Duck I don't think so, pepper spray is designed to work through air. I don't think it would work very well underwater.
Well it has to be a very powerful spray because your under water
Chris D'oulmeth
They have jells now that can be pushed out by the canister. But hey you can test it by spraying from a boat get some sharks around the boat and just spray the water and see how well they swim in it.They all disperse that's a good sign.
Cold Duck good suggestion but pepper spray has oils in it which don't dissolve in water then also even if it were to work, the person who sprays it would land up swimming right into it or the water could draft it into your scuba gear/penis tip/eyeballs etc.
because it's in the water
This is the first video I watched in this channel... it made me think of Good Mythical Morning.
This show could have went on forever, sad that it ended.
Interesting they didn't think it might send them into a killing frenzy...
shark slap XD 2:42
"Next up dead shark repellent"
"Why would you want to repel a dead shark"
Seriously best jokes
Mythbusters has been such an intrinsic part of my childhood, that I'm a used to seeing the Heinemann in a wetsuit.
“Robin, hand me down the bat spray shark repellant!”
That's a pilot study at the most. Appreciate their trial and yet they could have done that better.
When they said they were going to start a feeding frenzy I honestly started fearing for their lives.
It needs to become a trend before you confirm. You still need 1 more test.
Imagine putting that Essence in your cake. Happy freaking birthday to me.
Might as well just use a whoopie cushion since its the sudden fart sound that scared the sharks away.
You ran two tests only, to have solid data and good statistics you might want to run that test at least 1000 times. That's a massive gamble to come to a solid conclusion on only two tests.
0:47 he should know you *DO NOT DIRECTLY INHALE* fumes like that... *YOU FAN THEM TOWARDS YOUR NOSE*
Thank you Discovery, now how about putting full episodes up since the show is no more?
I guess 5 minutes is enough time to say my prayers before they venture back
the first myth busters hd quality video 👏👏👏
what im curious to know is if this only works for dead shark extract. or does it work as well with other strongly pungeant essences. kind of like when someone uses sound against dare devil or superman.
1:27 that stare is deadly man!
Uh oh... 4:05
He may have got us good. 😂
I think Adam was filmed with both confirmed and busted before the experiment 😂😂😂
Essense of the dead shark is a good name for underwater battle in some rpg game
When Fredie Roach has no Parkinson's disease.
Dwight and Jim as scientists
Looking through the comments so many people are saying that the sharks are just scared of "the balloon pop" but even Great White sharks are repelled by the smell of dead shark. October 4, 1997 a Orca killed a Great White just 30 miles off the coast of San Francisco and all Great Whites fled the area and didn't return for a year.
Essence of the Nightbringer works as repellent for everything
wife: what are you doing honey?
husband: just capturing the essence of dead sharks...
wife: ...?
husband: ...
0:57
Fish be like “Hey I want to be in the video :D”
Man these guys come up with the best videos like Dead shark juice, Man the are so creative keep up with the new ideas
Even if you released just a gas balloon, the fish would freak out!! so much for the show
You think that was accurate with that big sudden burst?! You guys are doing a lot of shoddy work
Sharks are always afraid of the smell of dead sharks. Sharks senses that the smell of dead shark means danger so they literally flee.
That wasn't just essence of dead shark, it was also a little explosion. How about a control? Just the little explosion, no essence of dead shark. And how about another test, where you disperse the essence of dead shark in a less violent fashion?
Their eyes are mesmerizing
I've checked other scenarios where they test it without exploding balloons and it did work, 9 minutes before they came back.
Are we just gonna ignore the PERFECT circle of stones AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN at 2:32
Its as effective as having oxygen coming out of your ass in an elevator....
When they cut the bag I felt like I was not breathing
