These early episodes are really good.
No nonsense, just straight myth-busting.
Agreed even though I love the later episodes too. I love how Jamie is more fun and playful in the earlier episodes too.
Love these early episodes with Adam and Jamie with the smaller scale production. More crazyness, less graphics, filmlocation and robot gizmo value 😊
As a mechanic I can tell you the green fuzz of death (corrosion) is next to impossible to combat without replacing parts .
You know, i think i like looking through the comments on these as much as wstching the show. Its like seeing old friends again in a way, knowing we're all still just as happy to be here as we were to catch the show on tv. I hope you guys are all doing okay
Thanks man. :)
I agree! Especially since lots of us were kids or teens when we started watching, it feels like a little class reunion of science nerds!
I miss the days of curling up on the couch with dinner or whatever together with the fam and drinking up every episode thirsty like, hope you are also doing well
I just realized this and wood cannon was filmed at the same time. They used that back ho for a shield during the wood cannon and you can see the pile of dirt and tube in the background
I suspect the start of the pig experiment was during the "Do piercings attract lightning" myth too, since it seems like at one point Adam's talking a bit funny as though he's getting used to a tongue piercing
i left a comment on the other video saying the earwax candle was the most disgusting thing they ever did on MythBusters, but yeah, this one is also high on my personal ranking
On his own channel Tested, Adam has said that this was his absolute worst experience throughout his entire tenure on Mythbusters
Omg that ear wax episode was hard to watch! This was a breeze compared to that lol
@@MartyMcFly88 I feel the exact opposite, I can watch the earwax episode no problem, this one make me physically sick, I actually threw up a little bit watching this one time..
Season 1 editing is so unhinged, I'm loving it.
Mythbusters was my favorite show, so nice that alot of episodes are on TH-cam now. 😁👍 Imagine if this was an TH-cam show, would be like 5 x40min episodes to get ONE myth done.
i had to clean a fridge at my grandparent house that stayed like 1 year without power and was full of frozen product and meat. i think i might know at least a little bit how that car smells like...
That crime scene cleaner is... A character
Reminds me of the episode with the CSI guy in Brooklyn 99 :D
is he a serial killer?
@@AnnaCurser I think he came very close. One abusive parent may have swung him
@@AnnaCurser He made a job out of his hobby.
All talk, no action
sad to see a corvette ruined like this
That car was ruined the second it was designed. It's just gross, and that's for nothing to do with the pigs
well, that is your opinion.
I like the design of it.
It may not have been built well, but the design isnt bad in my opinion.
@@timfondiggle2582
I've heard countless stories of corvette owners doing worse things to their cars
@@timfondiggle2582yeah how did corvettes go from small sleek and curvy to whatever the hell that thing and the newer ones look like although the stingray is the first one I think that’s bringing it’s old style back they had about 10-20 years of hideous designs
@@revalution1965 I like the newest models quite a bit better than what they designed the last 15 years or so.
In Sweden there is actually a law about selling cars that smell of death. They have to be advertised with "Death smell".
Hahahahahahahahaha that's fantastic!
Rewatching early MB's I just realized how the world has changed in just two decades.
we don't tell bizarre stories to each other anymore. Because back then it was really hard to verify their validity. Today? Link or didn't happen.
You could just look at archives of local newspapers within minutes, while you wait for your morning coffee.
Wow, it‘s so cute you think everyone shares the link or it didn’t happen philosophy ^^
Yeah no urban legends are still a thing don’t worry
Link or it didn't happen!!
I don't want to get too explicitly political but people constantly tell outrageous and provably false stories and other people not only believe them at face value but aggressively retell and defend them, so no not much has changed on that front
@@Koushakur link!
@@Y4932 🤣
15:20 “He flies about 200 feet right over the house, and falls, and manages get up relatively unharmed.”
That is unequivocally ludicrous and absolutely absurd.
20:51 what the hell kind of editing is that? It's like a YTP style edit lmao.
The infographic at 26:00 is hilarious. That's not how a sabot, or a cartridge works. The sabot goes around the projectile, not the casing, and the casing doesn't travel down the barrel and fall away like a rocket booster. lol Love Mythbusters, though.
great episode . the stinky car myth hit home for my family . only because my parents own a towing / auto body shop . an they told me that once something like that gets into the upholstery an floor carpet or even the roof the smell is nearly imposable to get out
Ya you have to be fairly careful to really wrap up in heavy plastic any bodies you plan to be moving in your car.
R.i.p Jessi Combs I saw her as a camera lady. made me really sad.😢
R.I.P. Grand as well
i don't think that's her, mate
That was Scotty. Jessi was still at WyoTech when this one was recorded
This channel got me reliving my childhood with its upload schedule
Seriously
"It's not that bad" hahahaha
Btw, if anyone still wonders if it's completely impossible to get the death stink out of the car - it's not impossible. If you stick it in a spray shop paint baking booth where they harden the paint after a respray at 140°C, it gets rid of absolutely any smell in just 3-4 hours. But for the corrosion, you might have to disassemble the entire electrical system and go through it bit by bit in order to make it work again. It's tedious, but certainly possible w/o sourcing the car for parts.
Well, now I've finally seen this infamous episode, and I don't think I need to see it again. 🤢
I loved the Cannon! On an episode of CSI the team tried to figure out how a racoon got shot out of a " cannon".
I’ve always thought this episode was a shame. That is a horrible waste of a really nice car. I mean, it doesn’t HAVE to be a really nice car does it????
I mean, I’m sure the engine and all went out to a vette in need. Also, not that tragic, it was an automatic. That car would be worth maybe 3-6k today 😅
I think it did need to be a nice car. There needs to be something enticing enough about the car for someone to still buy it even if there's no interior, pervasive smell of death, and a failure to start
@@JonasHamill Exactly. I doubt anyone would buy a Pontiac 6000 or something like that if it was in that condition. Trying to sell that would be pointless and would make for pretty boring television.
I once put a 36 hour dead raccoon in my trunk wrapped in 3 sealed trash bags. @ 40 mph with all the windows down I could taste it from the front seat. I worked for a disaster outfit so I threw the raccoon in the biohazard dumpster and the guys on the cleanup side hooked me up with that enzymatic cleaner. There is no smell like death. None.
People who have died are said to be the worst smell, even worse than handling dead animals, and I have handled sadly dead animals - namely our cat Link.
Dude, Jamie sense of humor is strange... He is sadistic!
Adam Savage spoke about this on a tested livestream a while back. The car was $5000, the corvette was the perfect cheap sports car that would make good tv. He remembers this one as the grossest mythbusters myth.
"Ride the Raccoon Rocket" - unintentionally the most Toronto thing.
This was one of the first episodes of Mythbusters I saw, back when it was still on Netflix, which should tell you how bloody long ago that was.
Not long enough for the ogs
That little tree was fighting for its god damm life 😂
This episode is a damn masterpiece
Decaying flesh has a very distinctive smell…one that I’ve been unfortunate enough to smell more than once. It’s a smell we are programmed to be disgusted by, and wow is it a disgusting smell.
Only in the first season would they subject themselves to something this terrible. They can probably recall the exact smell that was in that car even today.
The whole pig buying deal reminded me exactly of buying drugs. Lmao.
Okay, I love this episode, but the verdict still confuses me.
The myth says that a car with a corpse festering would be impossible to get the smell out of, which was true as not even the crime scene clean-up crew could.
Shouldn't the myth be confirmed? The myth never says that the car isn't sold, only that whoever buys it has to deal with the smell.
I feel like they forgot what the myth was about. They say it's busted because they couldn't clean it, even though the myth says that they wouldn't.
I just kinda feel crazy cause it felt like they confirmed it, but are so adamant that it's busted.
ah, a sabot.
So that is what they used in 63 to make the Carcano bullet fit the Mauser rifle
18:12 Could have just got a smaller pipe, they're surrounded by pipes of all sizes lol
It's an automatic no loss here
Most culverts in rural areas especially driveway ends are like 15 inches in diameter
@7:58 was that a stuffed jackalope? I knew they were real😂
Refridgeration units on shipping containers occasionally fail.
The contents arrive rather juicy.
I had to air out my house after this smelly episode. I can't stand it when I forget food trash in my car long enough for it to turn.
it should worry people Jamie knows how far bodies fly ijs :)
One of the worst corvettes ever… I think the pig improved it 😂
Stinks even in my room, blearghhhh!
That's something else.
that might be your butthole
Ah yes.
One of legendaries
19:17 I do Think that Pipe is about 1/3-1/4 to big for a Real-Racoon-Hideout.
32:01 For the car.
I can’t even imagine the smell inside that car 🤮🤮🤮
i think i missed this episode
I mean, the drain pipe could've easily been cloged, perhaps it was basically sealed at the other end in the story...
So the brake lights work without the ignition on? is that a corvet thing?
It's also a Volvo 940 thing.
I believe, it's kind of a old car thing, my fiat Uno does that, as well as any fiat from that era, well into the 2000s
As far as I know all cars will illuminate the brake lights irrespective of the key position. This is some regulation that the brake lights must illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed in all circumstances. I've owned many cars and they all did this. Even when locked via remote.
I never noticed, I will check mt citroen c5 later.
Any car will turn on brake lights once you press the brake pad, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
So really the only thing they tested was how gross of a buyer they could find.
It took me a almost a full minute to realize the narrator was trying to say "say-bow" (sabot).🤣
7:00
Jaguayer
I worst thing I’ve ever smelled was a rotten potato. You would NOT believe a vegetable would stink that awful 🤢🤮.
I smelled that, too. But it's the things that don't smell (as much) that worry me.
One day I forgot to do the smell test on an already open glass of raw Sauerkraut.
It tastes nice when fresh, but that one was rotten... the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted!!
@@derGameplayDJ Geez i can only imagine that, seeing how sauerkraut is already one of the most disgusting foods ever! hahah
Try a rotten lemon, or more like half a 10 lbs box. Literally full of mould and essentially liquid black and yellow sludge
It took 4 days to show you reply to me. Once it took them many month. Wth
But I have nooo idea what sauerkraut is.
@@ryanchen8403 I’ve smelled rotten lemon, it wasn’t too bad. But you know what, i bet it depends on the variety of microorganisms that have infested it. Like human sweat has NO smell, it’s the fungi that causes the smell.
I wonder if an ozone generator or something could’ve finished off that smell. Were those even a thing in the early-mid 00’s?
What's a jag-wire?
I feel like they went overboard on the car myth and still busted it. First of all, the myth just says a guy died in there. They used two pigs which is more than just one guy, plus they sealed it and put it in a shipping container. It defeats the spirit of the myth. If this happened naturally, the car would not have been sealed, thus much of the scent would have escaped. They ramped the myth up to 1000 which should have made it plausible at least and not busted
42:45 buy the car for a hand full of dollars, strip the car, clean every part what comes of, sand the panels, sandblast the frame. Paint chassis and panels and build the car as was. There you have it, a cheap corvette 😋
my dad owns that exact same corvette, and i can honestly say, that thing is so uncomfortable to sit in or get in and out of, you already couldn't pay me enough to waste my time on it, even if it smelled like freshly baked cinnamon rolls. talk about piss poor engineering. the seat is 6 inches lower than the door sills and the door sills have electronic controls you literally have to sit on to get in and out of the car.
After my tour around Daka the smell of dead pig is stuck in my brain
Me who drives a corvette c4 seeing them ruin this poor beauty of a c4 😭
I'm the only one thinking that season 1 aged better than season 9?
lmao, the episode I said, I wouldn't be sure whether it would get uploaded due to the nature of content actually got uploaded.
I think the mistake they made was a dead human is going to be fully clothed including shoes.......they should have wrapped the pigs in fabric of some sort to simulate clothing......probably would have made a big difference.
26:00 did no one in the animation team notice how bad that gun firing animation was??? The casing is not a single stage rocket 😂
That eighteen-year-old fat stack of actual cold hard CA$H that Jamie pulls out though!!!
That poor Corvette seller! I bet He never imagined what would happen to his baby! The regret is written all over his face.
It's only a car and he got his money.
@@Okurka. If your a car guy, and like that particular type of car especially, its hard to see it destroyed. He probably didnt like watching the episode that much, i can bet ha
@@VashStarwind It wasn't even original anymore; it already had an engine swap.
@@Okurka. That doesnt matter. I wouldnt care if my favorite type of car didnt have an original engine. I still wouldnt wanna see it destroyed, even if i was already paid for it. It just would bum me out.
@@Okurka. You wanna see it go to someone thats going to enjoy it. Especially if you put some work into it
where does the guy recognize Adam & Jamie from ? This is a Season 1 Episode, shouldn't that mean that, while filming this, the show shouldn't have been Aired yet ?
MB wasn't really separated into seasons afaik
Adam and Jamie were on BattleBots as well. It's possible he recognized them from that. It's also possible the introductions involved pictures or video when they were disclosing the stuff about the show.
But you're right it is odd to hear that from a show that essentially hasn't been aired yet.
The pilots aired on January 23, 2003; this episode aired on December 5, 2003.
Jamie and Adam were local fixtures so it's not inconceivable he'd crossed paths with them before
There's a story Adam tells where NSYNC recognised Grant at ILM because of Deadblow on Battlebots so it could have been that
Devalue a car speed run
Could they just get the wrecked car instead of nice condition Vette?
That's not what the myth was.
@@Okurka.regardless of the vehicle, it was going to become a biohazard. At that point, whether or not you can sell it is basically irrelevant, because a) you won’t, and b) even if you did clean the car and get it put back together, the amount of components that would have been permanently rendered unusable in the process would essentially make the vehicle good for spare parts and nothing else. I have always loved this show, but was very much not a fan of this experiment.
@@TheSunsetPearl Again: that's not what the myth is about.
@@TheSunsetPearlCope
@@TheSunsetPearl the myth is about trying to sell a really nice car at a low price but smells. There's no point in trying to sell an ugly smelly car because no one will even want to buy it
Launching out of a tube like is never going to happen without a seal. Whatever gas expansion that's happening down that tube is just going to go around the body.
I know Adam and Jamie have said multiple times that they wont be working together in the future but i still have some hope. 1 last season or Mythbuster project, even if its a decade from now.
They had some really shity cameramen 😂
I just noticed this episode, and probably the whole season, looks like it was recorded before Mythbusters was aired on television. Like in; Fun 1st and Safety 2nd 😆
Kinda miss those times where, if you didn't harm other people or property, you could get away with basically everything. ☺ (also with my hobby in mind)
Can anyone confirm?
why didnt they use a clunker crap box car..
I never understood why they didn't use a junker for this.
Destroying a nice example like that was completely pointless.
Same here, but that's TV for you.
I think you can clean that maby
They had to test whether they could still SELL the car afterwards. They needed a car with some value.
According to Adam during a Tested Q&A, they wanted a car like this since if they used a junker they wouldn't get much money back to begin with
The point of the myth was it was a very desirable car, and would people want it bad enough to get past the smell.
You would think being so smart that one end of the drainage pipe would most likely be in water
never heard sabot pronounced like that lol i think its meant to sound like rabbit not (sah bow)
Why on earth would it sound like rabbit?
@@Okurka. because it should be said like rabbit with an S not su-bow
@@champyton437 It is a French word, pronounced "sa-bow" or "say-bow".
@@champyton437 "rabbit with an S"
It doesn't sound like 'sabbit' at all.
@@Okurka. well you'll have to take that up with a good chunk of all the ballistics channels, I've heard some pronounce it say bow like saber but not with the cadence of the word "concur" but more like playdough (say-bow) and whenever I see anyone use SLAP rounds Saboted Light Armor Penetrators it's been pronounced (sabbited)
I honestly think stinky car is the worst decision they've ever made. Pure disgust.
Oh god, I forgot about that Heather-person!
What is people’s beef with the Folklorist?
she's boring and really out of place on the show. I don't think there's anything other than that.
As far as the show goes all she does is verify that the urban myths their testing are actual myths that have been going around.
I don't question the team for consulting her, but giving her even a minute of screen time was unnecessary.
I thought she was cute, I like her style
Sa-bo He means Sabo, and I can't believe he said it's hard enough to say Sabo while completely saying it wrong.
He said it correctly, though.
@Okurka. nah Everybody on the show pronounced it wrong. It's pronounced "Say-Bow" not Sabo
@@austinaltemeyer7302 Either pronunciation is correct. It is a French word that is pronounced "sa-bow". English speakers tend to pronounce it "say-bow", but "sa-bow" is not uncommon.
@@AJD09FB That's very interesting. Thank you for informing me.
@@AJD09FB The English pronounce it "sa-bow"; the Americans pronounce it wrong.
Ha 666 pounds of explosive suspicious.
:
Human beings are extremely sensitive to decomposing animals. It makes sense. While we were involving, eating something past its prime could end up in an early death. As result, we evolved to hate such smells. Interesting yet obvious, flies are the exact opposite. They love decomposing smells and seem to hate what we consider to be "clean/sterile smells" as there's no food there.
thanks for teaching any 8yr olds in the comments about our involution process and fly food.
@@SobeCrunkMonster I am glad that I was of use to you.
By the way, a sentence is usually started with a capital letter, and the process in question is called "evolution" not "involution". Most 8-year olds would know that.
@@leoarc1061 This was a horrific attempt at trying to seem intelligent. He said involution because in your own comment YOU MISSPELLED EVOLUTION AND WROTE "involving".
@@joechungus5424 You're right. I did make a mistake. I do apologize for it.
wouldnt buy anything american even if it were the only thing i could afford
They should've used the 'folklorist' instead of pigs.
What A Funky Video 😮
So glad they got rid of the folklorist person, pure evil
She’s one of the worst things to happen to this show. One of.
Fuckin love these guys!
Sah-Bow? Lol, Say-Bow... Come on guys xD
