Wait, why wouldn't they test putting a beer can in a paint shaker? That has to be the most iconic Simpsons urban myth.
i mean they fking went through all that effort with the wrecking ball/homer just to get a crane that can barely swing it.. wouldve rathered the beer can@verynefarious
@@pingapete666 Yeah, but again. The beer isn't going to do anything. It provides zero entertainment value for TV/this show.
@verynefariousso, then they should try that with a bottle of Coke with mentos inside 😂😂
One I wanted to see in the episode where they stay at the Flanders summer home, Homer lights a huge firecracker, the fuse breaks in panic he throws it in the dishwasher and takes cover. Boom! Homer is unharmed, could a dishwasher actually contain such a blast?
@Dennis19901 well then they set up what it would take to cause such an explosion.
"You were thinking 'South Park'". I'm dead. 😆
Classic Simpsons 😂
He's not wrong though - SP is miles better than the Simpsons..
@@DrMillF I've experienced both shows since their inception. I think it's just silly to compare them, both shows are unique in their own ways.
How do they keep it so fresh after 3 seasons
Only joke missing was "Simpsons' did it!"
i really love jamies laugh when they trying the small scale boom :)
you don't see it often but it's worth the wait :)
"In this house we obey the laws of THERMODYNAMICS!!!"
You missed to give Buster the chance of having one of the seats before you blow the cherry, like the teacher in the cartoon.
who are you talking to ?
There is one tiny flaw in the test, a real drain would expand the force of the explosion in both directions, towards the toilets and towards the drain, also the the cherry bomb would be in motion at the moment of the explosion and not static as in the test hence dissipating some of the energy of the explosion and theoretically giving you water fountains from the toilets.
Was just going to comment the same.
"Foamer Simpson" hahaha I got a little belly laugh out of that one. I'm a simple man with simple needs.
Loved the red-tailed hawk scream at 41:51
Jamie's approach reminds me so much of my grandfather, I remember once I needed a tool to adjust the valve clearance on my motorbike, so he took 10 minutes and brought me a wood screw with a radio knob on it, and a 1/4" drive socket with a handle welded to it, and it worked perfectly
Knowing how to do something is good, but understanding why it works lets people like Jamie and your grandfather do stuff like that
There's no shortage of skeptical looks when you break out that creativity, but it's nice to be able to just get jobs done when they come up instead of waiting for amazon to bring a single function tool for 30 bucks.
You guys are amazing
Mythbusters is my childhood
I'm loving seeing that 🎉 thank you guys
Jamie grabbing Homer's butt is the best thing I've seen al week 😂😂
"perfect"
Sure it may have lessened the damage to house a bit, but surely the main place it fails is that homer would have suffered major internal injuries, if he could even have survived.
44:36 - Jesse and Mr. White are watching you Jamie.
"yeah science!"
One the best episodes.
Now to find the Simpsons episode. Haha
Thankyou, long time no see Mythbusters, and what an episode. :)
AK 47? Totally legal, cherry bomb... Jail time
@Famous_Mist 'Murica
Us at its finest🤷🏼♂️🤣
We cannot buy those here as Well??!!! Been working with explosives, i had my BOOMS!!
500g dynamite on a handheld 4-5m pole! Powerplant online blasting!!!💥 Ear protection yes! But there is a factor of the shockwave penetrating your skull!!! Hitting your Ear at the inside💥🤓⚠️
Often felt like a Mike TYSON WACK💯!!!!!🥴🥊💨💨💨
@@michaelripley4528 Reminds me, when I tested my Lombard chainsaw, with double hearing protection, I found that it made a huge difference if I opened my mouth.
@@leifvejby8023 Yeah you Can even make melodies and a wooow woooow effect with the mouth🤣 Shaping and opening mouth correct… Beware nobody watching!! Looking like snaochatters using filter and Please notice What you are doing with the Saw😆
And yes been doing that Often, been a lumberjack for 25 years😎
@@michaelripley4528 The saw, yes, keep an eye on what the saw is doing too! :-D Just been out messing about with a Husqvarna this evening, and I didn't get hurt! :-)
THE BEST EPISODE EVER! D'oh! Thanks for the fun!
Best Episode are Macgyver Myths and they all works🎉
That S bend in the toilet really backs up the pressure too much and it explodes before you can get the water out and that home with wrecking ball was a surprise and went off almost the same result on the show. Those writers are pretty sharp..
Backing up the pressure is kind of what it's there for. There is pressure usually in a sewer from rotting material and the S-bend is to trap that pressure so that you won't smell it.
0:50 - 0:55
They’re not wrong…
10:49
Oh. You used steel fibre enhanced concrete? That's nice stuff.
20:15 Jamie might hate it when a mess is made in his shop. But for once he seems quite happy about it. 🚽🍒💣💥 = 😂
Adam and Jamie you are a both extraordinarily talented men , Its always a pleasure watching you work .
I miss this show. Such a great combo, and you guys were there when I was growing up
:O I was waiting for this one! I was under the impression this was the first episode of season 9. But I'm not complaining.
I am so happy rn... 😂
"Homer's @$$ is quite impressive, actually"
Words I never thought I'd hear from Jamie, lol.
wow Adam has ALL the tricks up his sleeve, no matter what needs to be done he can build it out of foam. The way he turned a cardboard box into an oven was also really interesting
“ Barking Dog “ 😂
best collab ever
The experiment with the toilets from the Simpsons works, as I did that trick when I was a child, at one of my old primary school toilets lol where I put a little skyrocket down the toilet inlets lol blew water everywhere haha
Missed opportunity to yell "Fire in the Bowl, Fire in the Bowl, Fire in the Bowl."
I've never heard jammy laugh like that
They should have put a Turd
imitation in the toilet🤣💯
Would have made the slowmo footage hilarious AF!!😂
I have known this for over ten years but it still baffles me as a European to this day that you can own unlimited machine guns and regular firearms as well as unlimited tannerite in the us but a damn cherry bomb is illegal and it's treated like a nuclear warhead even by people that have worked with real explosives
When did they change the theme music? I thought I remembered it being an instrumental version of "Legs" by ZZ Top lol
What are you gonna do? Buffer with air instead of fastening the fragile porcelain more. Also try a similar size cherry bomb to the cartoon.
And here I thought Cherry bombs were tiny. Turns out, no, they're quite significant explosives!
I am kinda disappointed that they called the toilet one Busted without actually opening the system though. Like, they had a closed, "clogged" system because that was the biggest explosion in the scale test, but when they went full-scale it was too much power and ripped the toilets off their moorings. Wouldn't it then make sense to open the system, thus scaling back the power and potentially getting a geyser without destroying the toilets in the process?
They put so much effort into making sure the wrecking ball was the same size as the show, but not the cherry bomb. The cherry bomb they used is clearly several times larger than the one in the show. This test was flawed for several reasons and should be revisited if the show ever comes back.
Use a La Bomba from poland, its tiny but it blows the whole toilet.
Cherry bomb...not cherry pop.
But then all the water would drain away, so what kind of geyser do you expect to get with only the little water in the bowl remaining?
please don't blow compressed air into your mouth
w0t
Turning off the air compressor now...
why tho? any particular reason?
@@Spheredalai Sometimes the air is oil lubricated (for air actuated tools), that is one reason, though in a shop like that they probably have filters to filter out water/oil from the air from the air they use to clean stuff with.
Also, there is a myth that blowing air like that could cause air bubbles to get into your bloodstream and cause a heart attack. But that is not true to my knowledge.
Another reason I can think of is that it might cause some small debris to get shot at your face if you are unlucky enough that might cause problems.
So overall I think it is a good idea to not do that.
@@error-4518okay so you've never worked in a workshop or used an air gun.
Let me clarify.
They're called " pneumatic" not "air actuated"
And the air is not oiled. The tool and the moving part of the compressor are.
All of which have in-line filters to stop them from spraying out of the air gun and filling the airlines with oil
Spraying it into your mouth with an open mouth and closed throat will not cause any harm.
And if it does you're very unlucky.
When I was in trade school a teacher used to tell a story about an apprentice blowing compressed air up the rear end of his mate at work, which caused his internal organs to be damaged. And he died.
This is true but the story is from India.
So yes it's true but not in your mouth.
If you have any further inquiries of a tool you've never used and can only speculate about, feel free to ask :)
Come oooon, put metric measurements up for the rest of the world 😭😅
5000lb is 2267kg / 12' is 3.65m
@@PEPcessna thank you 🙈
So you can try it at home
Just convert 😂
@ThePOSM yeah but it's just implausible to stop and convert all the time. I can do yards/feet/inches in my head, but psi I have no concept of how to convert 🤣
Cherry bombs contained 1-2 grams of flash powder. 2 ounces of black powder is insane overkill and not a remotely realistic comparison.
Such is the shows method lol
nOiCe
Wrecking ball by Mikey Cyrus would have been right on to the background track for the ball hit
10:40 Definition work smarter, not harder
14:17 how about this.
22:52 Yeap, you said it Jamie. It's as if you miss what you love to do.
Just realized the toilet stalls in the Simpson episode didn't have doors lol. They could have shifted the perspective a bit and gave them doors
I'm here to watch people complain about season 9😅
We are here. )
It is, rather, reliving the complaints. I mean, as someone who has watched and known the history of Mythbusters ever since I was a child and now a full grown adult, I believe complaints are indeed warranted for later seasons in the show, lol.
One thing I realized is, I guess one of the hidden reasons as to why the build team was "axed or asked to take a break" on the later seasons was simply because of that cannonball incident.
I like this season but the olders are in my Heart.
At this moment in time I've felt, that the soul and the sense of comradely in the program were lost too. All that they've had after the Build Team got axed were two men who weren't even on good terms with each other. It was a sad time indeed.
But, more importantly, by this point they have run out of the myths to test, and were literally testing cartoon and video game physics that were obviously not real. There was nothing for them to bust, the program had outlived it's purpose.
Frankly these episodes are more relaxing to Watch 🤷🏼♂️ Not that forward backwards scenes… miss the other guys💯 So Many TV shows use the concept of breaking/wrecking up their show???
Watching Borderpatrol shows?? 🫣 I simply skip forward… If i had alzheimers would be okay 🤣 I like the fluid S9🤷🏼♂️
Wish they made straight segments in ALL episodes!
Still this episode have F\B feature🫣
So that scene in Fast 5, were they come and 'act' like cleaning guys, after the the toilets were blown up, is sci-fi:-D No matter what, it is still an awesome scene and that sec. pause before it blows up 😀
I miss these guys
Adam has an own channel here Adam Tested🐺👍🏼 Sometimes you can contact him in a chat if you are member
@@aruruaurynwolferson9713 i know i alredy did that.
And thats why depthcharges are deadly
that automatic carving machine thingy has to be worth a lot of money
Brilliant bit of info the smrt was a goof by Dan Castenella and they kept it in
That looks more like “foamer Simpson” love it.
this was probably the most run episode
These guys are the real Walter and Jesse duo
Thnx u, flip u max for no having them
Which Simpsons Episode is the one they're in? I really want to see that one.
Homer was made of foam, if it was actual flesh it would have more mass and would be harder, and the impact would also be harder and cause more damage to the house.
Only thing missing from the commode test, was having a human analog sitting on one of them during the explosion to see how much injury would have been sustained.
Those cherry bombs remind me of those Black Cat bangers we used to get here in the UK around bonfire season, they looked like little red sticks of dynamite and had a hell of a kick when they went off, about similar to that cherry bomb I’d say. Was a shame those got banned but that’s what happens when people act like idiots with them. Lots of injuries over the years, many of them serious.
They ban everything fun.
Every time i learn something new it pushes some old stuff out my brain 😂
Steel toilets, my school had steel toilets
I've never knew there was a season 9
I think they did install those toilets to the Simpsons engineering standards.
That has got to be the most manure looking concrete I’ve ever seen
Try and use the prison steel toilets…. Maybe it works
NOT BUSTED - the explosion in real setting would disperse more through longer pipes going to the water/sewage systems.
Dude, don't stand under that wrecking ball that's only held together with glue! 😟
You weren't paying attention, we're you? Jamie used an Industrial formula epoxy used for bonding concrete, basically he used the strongest glue in the world
@@synaesthesia2010 In your words he used "Glue". Maybe a strong glue, but still not a physical bonding method. Taking a risk on being flattened by 5000 lbs. isn't worth it. By the way, I do plant maintenance and construction and can tell you all the times where strong adhesive has failed where it shouldn't have. I don't mind them using the glue, just that they must treat the ball as if it can break apart at any moment because the penalty of failure = death.
From what I've seen in the construction the glue was only to prevent the two hemispheres to move independently, my guess is that the ball, the lower half hemisphere had the central steel collum in it, which also provided the fixture to be attached to the crane
The upper half central collum was only there to guide the construction, so it was safe ish to stand beneath that whole thing if the cables don't snap
@@SolitaryCore-mj2mr Good point.
@@mrdan2898 First of all. It was clearly shown that the ball has some construciton inside that fits together so it was very obviously not put together only by a glue. And secondly if the wrecking ball broke he would be crushed "only" by 2500 lbs which is the weight of one half. I don't understand why people are trying to be smart in the comments when they can't even pay attention to the video or do basic math.
10:29 RIP The GoPro, incased in concrete forever.
Or just pull it back out of its waterproof case
@@stoneytheclown In fact you need to because the video footage is on the SD card
I'm wondering if metal toilets would hold up better !
What I'm seeing is there's plenty of water moving so if the hardware held up it would probably be able to lift a person clean off the seat !.
16:03 That setup can't be right. Flushing toilet 2 would cause suction on toilet 3 and empty the trap. Needs venting at the end of the run.
Water is not compressible, so moving the second cherry bomb made no difference.
One mistake around this is the fact that the tube on pipework was closed ... in real life, that pipe would be open ... at least splitting the energy in half.
A stainless steel toilet like they use in prisons might have stayed anchored to the steel plumbing flange. Porcelain is just too brittle. Surprised the dynamic duo didn’t think of that because they are both so dam smart.
29:28 is that a bleach ost in the background??
The toIlet stunt might have worked if the cherry bomb's explosion had been distributed between six or twelve toilets. In the show, the same bomb affected the girls' toilets as well, and school bathrooms often have double rows, with the stall doors facing each other. So even though Bart was standing in front of three stalls, there were certainly six and possibly twelve. With only half or even a quarter of the force acting on each, the toilets might survive and give off their geyser as shown in the Simpsons.
I dont remember this episode being aired in my country
14:56 who the hell actually thinks that sewage pipes are full of water at all time? 💀
Americans
Ryan from the motorcycling channel "Fortnine" did a piece on this a few years ago focusing on how you can be "invisible" on a motorcycle, because in a car drivers eyes, you can very well be in a part of their vision that the brain has predicted, not processed, and the brain isn't expecting a motorcycle there, thus, invisible. "this is why you can feel more tired in a foreign city vs. close to home, your brain can't fill in the gaps because it doesn't have enough historical data to do so", as well as most motorcycle accidents being within blocks from home because well, you havent seen a bike at this intersection for the last few months, why would there be one now?
I think about this every time I watch The Simpsons
Different toilets. Schools use American Standard oblong toilets with the split seat. I expect they are stronger.
Cherrybombs use flashpowder i believe😅 like 1 gram😅
What about if it were a metallic toilet? They'd hold together and allow the water to shoot out
The dreaded budget cuts massacred my boy(s)
I don’t mind seasons 9 and 10 but cutting out the Build Team really made the show lose a lot of the charm it had.
The little graphic changes tried a bit too hard to Breaking Bad-theme the show. Mythbusters was always cheesy and geeky and the ‘polish’ they tried to add fell flat.
I can see why they canned it, the budget was already only a fraction of its peak.
The houses look like real Bluths!
Why were half toilets made instead of whole ones just made see through (Perspex)?
Surely a half toilet won’t behave exactly as a whole one would.
Did anybody else catch the background guy at 45:53 eating dirt?
A shop shower? Dangerous.
I miss these guys.... LMAO
Thats not a house wall thats a hut wall, only wood no concrete no rebar
Adam can I have your NASA jacket??? SIGNED pleaseeeee 😇🙏
they made an ass heavy ball . .🤣
Jamie laughed!
Simpsons elementary would have those steel prison toilets
wait you can just upload mythbusters episodes now? did the copyright run out or something
This is a licensed channel.
aah the simpsons science and Prophecies all spot on.
D'oh!
Nothing was said about the internal ingeries that Homer would have obtained with the massive weight of a wrecking ball to his torso. 😆
Seems like Jamie is enjoying himself way more in these kater seasons. Or at least the ones I've seen so far.
However it also seems like they cut the budget heavily.
That killed Homer, and still the home is still destroyed.
sux to see what the show became towards the end
