In all seriousness, I realized how strong both of them were when I watched one of those episodes where they had to build a bathroom. I think Adam was walking around with a sink in on hand and a toilet in the other. Something like that. They were both just casually walking back and forth with these enormously heavy supplies, like they were carrying a sandwich or a book or something 😂 The narrator was talking away in the background, and I was trying to figure out how they were able to do that! They're freaking strong!
@@StorymasterQ Jamie doesn’t need those kinds of super powers. He just needs to call on all of his walrus children and they still come to his aid and fight by his side.
I do like how this episode really shows Adam and Jamie's respect for each other; Complimenting each other's grapple-rigs, and Jamie basically points out that the flaw in Adam's was due to the location used (The hardened concrete) & not due to the rig itself. Adam has said they're not friends who hang out outside of the show, but they always had respect for each other.
yeah it really bothers me that people have twisted him saying their relationship was more professional and they frequently butted heads into "THEY HATE EACH OTHER!!!"
In most depictions be they movie or comic he really *doesn't* get it on his first try either, it takes him a lot of training, which I've always found pretty motivational
As a lifelong fan of the Phantom I feel obligated to explain that, although the original idea was that the ring left a mark from the punch being very hard, they retconned it to being basically an instant tattoo made with a special ring. I should point out as well that in the 1996 movie adaptation they followed the original idea even though I think they had already retconned it in the comics by then.
yeah, I had thought it was a punch that inlaid a tattoo, using a special ink native to the island of the phantom. scarring struck me as odd, as I remember a comic where the phantom had to sneak into a group of criminals, wearing a fake tattoo print of his mark.
It also really makes sense that, what happened happened when one thinks about it, the way the skull was printed/molded into the ring, it was in such a way that the skull was layered beneath a flat surface that is highly unlikely to give before other things do, if it had been either layered where the skull was outside or above the surface of the rest of the ring, or the primary shape, then the results would have likely been different, albeit I will say this, and that is the fact that the rings outer edge wasn't even leaving a scar/impact indention, meaning it is unlikely a ring shaped in a skull would leave an indention, leaving the one that would most likely do something like that is a ring where the skull is layered in such a way it essentially cuts into skin.
in the scar ring it would have made a huge difference if there were bloodflow in the thing they hit not just a cold carcass. i think the 'scars' are just hematomas
in dawn of justice batman made it work by heating up his bat-shaped brass knuckles to burn scars into his enemies so i guess all they were missing was a blowtorch
yeah ngl that one really annoyed me, thought that its pretty simple to think of and kinda disappointed they didnt even mention it when alive and dead tissue act so different in this case
34:43 - "...and then, it will REPLICATE" Probably the best Attenborough-skit. 😂 (Beside the "is he doing the David Attenborough-thing again?" of course.)
not thinking about how he would get down was not really smart in the first place. rewatching this show, I see very often that Jamie's ideas or builds are not the best compared to Adam. Although in this episode Adams version didnt work that well, but Jamies version did not even deal with shooting the cable up there.

He also had another ring, which would produce a less conspicuous mark, so that his friends would recognize each other. Lee Falk described the rings as containing something similar to tattoo ink; the marks weren't just due to force.
This was probably the first episode that got me into watching MythBusters back in the day. MB was my favorite show in the late 2000s. I was absolutely obsessed! Probably some of the last good memories I have with my dad is watching it together with him religiously back in 2007-2008, along with our other favorites like Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe and How It's Made. Simpler times. I still love MythBusters to this day! These guys really taught me how to analyze and experiment with things scientifically all while having a good sense of humor while we're at it.
imagine having your shop next to the mythbusters and every once in a while you hear a deafening CLANG and grant imahara comes over and goes SORRY WE PUNCHED A HOLE THROUGH THE WALL
My girlfriend or should I say ex, broke up with me because she admitted to cheating. For 3 years I showed her nothing but love and sacrifice and I'm not in the best state of mind and I'm worst when I'm alone but watching Mythbusters makes me relive my childhood and makes things bareable
It's just how women be sometimes. Hang in there man, getting over my first gf took half a year and it really was hell, but it just makes you emotionally stronger each time. Just don't rush it with another gal. Take time to heal, learn to trust again and take another swing at it!
@@Milonoto Just a quick update, good thing the company I work for has free therapy sessions, I'm in a much better place now compared to 2 months ago but I'm still not at 100% but I think I made good progress
one of the primary problems with this one is how many differences there are between living human flesh and pig skin that has been separated, refrigerated, and laid over a skull
not only would blood flow thru skin so the blood vessels can break in the shape of the ring have changed the outcome but like they didnt even test a ring that itself was the shape of the mark they wanted it was flat with a indent in it in the shape they wanted. if U punch someone with a ring thats shaped and not flat wouldnt that make the blood vessels break in that specific pattern?
In the case, of the Phantom segment, they made a mistake, it wasn't the punched ring that left a scar, it was a permanent indelible ink that left a mark, so a normal punch is all needed to leave that mark.
Yall need to do that punch with the rings thing again. Because that is absolutely possible , not only is it but you can black and blue the larger design shapes and words on the skin as well.
I haven't read The Phantom since I was a little tyke, but then I did read a ton of them. Pretty sure the evil ring (the skull) was actually supernatural. Made by some ancient sorcerer from the core of of a meteorite, or something along these lines. The good ring (four P's in kind of a swastika configuration) on his left hand was a normal ring and left no such scars.
You cant maybe not punch a scar into somebody but there are Paddles with symbols and text that leave some red and later blue spots. So technically you can mark somebody. Why i know that this works? Well, i made a mahagony paddle with heart cutouts.
I've never heard anyone say Phantom's ring leaves a mark because he hits so hard. Also, it's not a scar. It's a regular trope in the comics that bad guys are trying to wash it off. Even dumb bad guy wouldn't r to wash off a scar.
That's right. The mark is caused by "indelible ink", so the closest thing to their method would be that the ink enters through the cuts in the skin and creates a tattoo. The comics are pretty clear that the ink is just pressed to the skin and leaves an indelible mark behind.
I think the ring imprint would’ve worked if the rings were embossed as opposed to being debossed (idk if these terms are correct for rings but whatever). When I was a kid I got hit in the chin with a baseball. When I went to check it in the mirror, there was a clear “Rawlings” imprint across my chin, along with a baseball seam. There’s no way that baseball hit me at 4000 newtons either lol.
I watched the baseball special last...the major flaw in all the experiments was the factor of a live person hotting the ball.i.e. the angle n other things.a pro batter probably can swing more than 62mph like adam did that throw alot of it off also
With the right ring and not that square mold it would have worked. Also, on the skull with pig skin test: skin don't move that much normally and still the wrong ring
It can happen but its of course not as detailled/precise than cuts, neither as permanent too. The object need to have "sharp angles" (i mean the edges should not be rounded), be solid enought to not change shape or absorb the impact (like a rubber hand does for example) and where/how it hit affect the bruising shape too. I know because it happened to me. If the object stay pressed hard enought for long enought in more fleshy parts: you get an imprint who can stay visible around 30sec to a minute. Its really rare though
The grappling hook speed turn myth is maybe the stupidest myth they ever tested, I would have loved to see Jamie's reaction to just how dumb of an idea it was.
I think the punch on the pig might've worked better if it was more properly secured in place, since it kind of just gets freely pushed away rather than taking in any of the force of the punch...

@@larrywalsh9939 I don't believe i am overstating it. This is an entertainment show, not a science show. The word "science" was thrown around so liberally it lost all meaning. The problem with their methodology isn't that it "wasn't always the best" it's that it was never worth 2 cents to begin with. What this show did to experimental science in the minds of young people everywhere was almost criminal. The problem I have with the show is what it was billed as: A show about experimental science. But it just isn't. It's 100% _entertainment_ and that lack of distinction has coloured everyone. Remember that season 1 was about testing out Darwin Award winner methods of self-destruction.

I think in the ring scarring they did it wrong. Who wears a ring like that? You wear a ring where the skull is 3-D not a flat plate with a skull indented into it. 💀
Phantom never left a scar with the ring. It contained ink, he pushed a button to get thw ink out. Thats how he was able to punch people without leaving a mark until the last punch.
d'ohhhhh.... lets get the right ring, to make the mark.... they needed the ring to be the opposite way round, where the ring leaves an indentation, which its not doing....
they also could have thicken the rope by just layering one on another. Also they could have assumed that that rope is mythical and test a best case scenario with metal hook, like in the small scale.
@@larrywalsh9939 Nah, copyright is insanely broken. The copyright for this show won't expire for another 50 years at least! But my bet would be that it will expire in 90 years from now.
Now, 20 years after the fact, it's incredible that this series was ever aired. I mean, the guys try to be careful, of course, but they aimed a heavy steel hook launched by a high-powered aircannon at a wall which is apparently thin enough to get perforated easily. And Jaimy is bungling with a knife and a heavy contraption on his arm 50 feet of the ground, cutting his own face up. Like, try making this series nowadays. No way that this would be allowed.
My brother came home with a sneaker print on his forehead, it did swell up. he got into a lot of fights back them and probably got stomped on. I also was so dumb that I bonked my head into a metal pipe someone else was carrying, because I was looking down on my phone while walking, my brother then reformed really grilled me when I got home if I was picking fights because of the scar/wound on my forehead.
For the ring, a flat piece of metal,, it's normal there's no scar, if the ring was a real 3d skull, it would have made a huge difference, and leave a mark for at least 1 week ( unfortunatelly tested >

Making a winch that only goes up is such a Mythbuster thing to do...

my thought exactly.
in dawn of justice batman made it work by heating up his bat-shaped brass knuckles to burn scars into his enemies so i guess all they were missing was a blowtorch
And there was no body mass on that punch, which definitely might've contributed to more realistic scenario
and if the rings were made the other way around, they made them too flat with the skull as an indent rather than a big lump of metal

You need to cut flesh for the skin to develop scar tissue. Bruising doesn't leave scars.
It can happen but its of course not as detailled/precise than cuts, neither as permanent too. The object need to have "sharp angles" (i mean the edges should not be rounded), be solid enought to not change shape or absorb the impact (like a rubber hand does for example) and where/how it hit affect the bruising shape too.

Its really rare though

The grappling hook speed turn myth is maybe the stupidest myth they ever tested, I would have loved to see Jamie's reaction to just how dumb of an idea it was.
They should have tried hmpe rope for the grapple hook car thing. Its stronger than steel cable by 8 times. And lighter too.
With the cape and gloves Adam looks like he's about to Judy chop someone. Just remember, "don't go ninjin' no one that don't need ninjin"
I forgot Star Man was a thing, I need to rewatch those.
Did anyone ever ask them to try the ring again? They have it inverted, the skull should protrude from the ring, not be set back into it.
Little odd how the rings didn't leave bruises either.
Almost like blood flow matters.
Maybe she used the current from small battery worn on the wrist to heat the ring first resulting in skull brand 🤔
15:08 me after taco bell
I think the punch on the pig might've worked better if it was more properly secured in place, since it kind of just gets freely pushed away rather than taking in any of the force of the punch...
The ring needed to have edges along the skull mold, instead of the flat square.

But it just isn't. It's 100% _entertainment_ and that lack of distinction has coloured everyone. Remember that season 1 was about testing out Darwin Award winner methods of self-destruction. It was entertainment, and then it was popular and the network wanted to stretch it out. "But they prove/disproved it on Mythbusters" is one of the worst things you'll ever hear someone say as a retort to a fact.
Try convincing someone that saw Mythbusters prove or disprove something that they're wrong - It won't happen... Why? Because they saw it on the holy Mythbusters. No, friend - Mythbusters has had every bit of a negative effect on the minds of people who might be interested in science (More importantly: Those that aren't but just assimilate this incorrect data as they watch the entertainment) as I say and worse.
@@UnitSe7en it looks like youtube has shadow banned you for some reason - I saw a notification of your latest post but it's not here.
It would have been cool if they used a blow torch to heat the ring. At least to replicate. 😬 Maybe 🤔.
Would have made more sense to me to grapple closer to the front wheels rather than close to the rear wheels like they seem to have.
M B the wrong way round? A good job that they are revesible letters!
I kept thinking throughout the whole thing "Isn't this the episode where Jamie slashed his face with a steel cable?"
There's only one a few reasons why some of these failed.
One of them is none of them has Bruce Wayne's wealth and Military RND
I think in the ring scarring they did it wrong. Who wears a ring like that? You wear a ring where the skull is 3-D not a flat plate with a skull indented into it. 💀
Phantom never left a scar with the ring. It contained ink, he pushed a button to get thw ink out. Thats how he was able to punch people without leaving a mark until the last punch.
The knot was genius
Sadly didn’t realise that in the cartoon, the ‘scar’ was already on the villain before the punch
You gotta turn the front of the car, not the rear. Almost better to use a bungee cord
Phantoms ring is protruding, no square edges and dyed.
Mythmobile... eh, I would have gone with the Mythtery Machine.
Grant did not have an accident in the shop, he had a mishap
Them not being able to say Batman is funny now considering Discovery owns warner brothers
d'ohhhhh....
lets get the right ring, to make the mark.... they needed the ring to be the opposite way round, where the ring leaves an indentation, which its not doing....
You'd think the current owners of this show could afford the BatLogo(tm) by now...
phantoms ring stood out hers were indented plus mate mine has scar on face from a fight where a ring to face
I know one such material and that is spiders silk!!!
To this day all of these myths are possible. Just did their math wrong.
wouldnt trying chain for the batman car be an idea
they also could have thicken the rope by just layering one on another. Also they could have assumed that that rope is mythical and test a best case scenario with metal hook, like in the small scale.
Adam West would be proud
I climbed a wall with two suction cups once's google grabo, works like a charm. Cept the batteries dont last long.
The cannon was on the wrong side
I'd say Jamie is Alfred, in the end he's hyne-man :)
Would it be possible to get the videos in a higher resolution?
like 720 or even more?
Probably not. Back then the standard broadcast was in a 480i resolution.
Maybe later seasons had a higher resolution.
love the vibes but still sad how much they had wrong
I literally just watched this yesterday on another channel. What are the odds?
It's probably out of copyright now, which would explain why so many episodes are being released for free.
Probably just facebook ad service listening you through your phone. I watched "Big Lebowski" movie yesterday and today internet ads are about carpets
@@larrywalsh9939 Nah, copyright is insanely broken. The copyright for this show won't expire for another 50 years at least! But my bet would be that it will expire in 90 years from now.
Now, 20 years after the fact, it's incredible that this series was ever aired. I mean, the guys try to be careful, of course, but they aimed a heavy steel hook launched by a high-powered aircannon at a wall which is apparently thin enough to get perforated easily. And Jaimy is bungling with a knife and a heavy contraption on his arm 50 feet of the ground, cutting his own face up.
Like, try making this series nowadays. No way that this would be allowed.
Punching a block of wood on a forklift might not be the smartest thing they've ever done 😂😂 why would they secure it to something with some give
20mm amsteel would not break
At 21:00 somome chould walk out that door an get shot so easy .. 😅
think you need protrusion to get the skull....
My brother came home with a sneaker print on his forehead, it did swell up. he got into a lot of fights back them and probably got stomped on. I also was so dumb that I bonked my head into a metal pipe someone else was carrying, because I was looking down on my phone while walking, my brother then reformed really grilled me when I got home if I was picking fights because of the scar/wound on my forehead.
Adam is not quite Adam West
Would a carbon fibre rope have worked for the car swing?
Don’t come for me, I know absolutely nothing in this field.
Guys they're not gonna punch a live animal for more accurate results. Come on.
The shape of the ring was wrong
For the ring, a flat piece of metal,, it's normal there's no scar, if the ring was a real 3d skull, it would have made a huge difference, and leave a mark for at least 1 week ( unfortunatelly tested >
totally wrong shape and form of Ring that was used...
A pneumatic cylinder is not a robot. It's a device that performs an action when you trigger it, so it's no more a robot than a light is when you hit the switch.
well, you know, electricity, machines and computers are like dark magic for the general public
The unluckiest episode of Mythbusters?
Jamie is knotty 6:12
