Literally just a few weeks ago I was struggling to watch full episodes of Mythbusters anywhere, I’m so happy to see they have their own place now for full videos, thank you for uploading.
it's shocking how few of them seem to have not actually watched the episode all the way through- someone even complained that they should have busted the bouncing car??? but they didn't!?
All the mods to the car make me think that they chose this myth for this episode because they had Jessi and she was totally in her element with metal work and souping up a car.
@@bend8353 - Yeah, cute girl, gorgeous woman, but didn't live her life in a way that's conducive to old age. She certainly proved the old adage that speed kills.
Oh no most certainly the water skipping car myth is not busted because the car used by MB has the engine in the front where as the Lambo's engine is in the back, which is why it bounced different.
@@guarddog318 She died living life to the fullest though, we all meet our maker, but if your day comes doing what you love to the highest degree, that's not a bad way to go, early, but risks are what drive innovation.

Never done it, never gotten any illness from a can. I am either only lucky when it comes to not drinking from a poop covered can, or this would be another one of those "theoretical" things that has very little real world impact.
@@Power5 I'd imagine it's pretty low risk, yeah. I'll put it this way though. I'm used to seeing moldy cans, dirty cans, cans with dead bugs on them etc. Some of these cans just get wiped down and put back up on the shelf depending on the store you go to. So you can't blame me for making it a habit to clean the tops and also recommending others to do the same lol Also, I'm sure if you saw me clean off any of the above mentioned things and then offered you that same can, I would think most people would decline because that's gross af😂
This and Psych were the only shows both my wife and kids would watch with me. My children must have seen 100 episodes of MB growing up. What an incredible way to have exposed their young minds to critical thinking, science, even what healthy work relationships look like.
Actually tried skipping a car when I was younger. Had a friend with me. The water was similar in length of more. I also llearned that 50 mph (was actually going around 60) wasn't quite enough to make it.

Wait until you see the ladies gaslight Tori into bunny hopping over a red wagon on an old bicycle. Spoiler alert: He fails spectacularly. So many more injuries Tori accumulated… all for science.
The first one looked a little crusty tbh. The second one may not have been a nice later one, but it looked absolutely mint. I guess the show was made when these things were worth absolutely nothing.
In the Petri dish germ segment it was nice to hear them completely describe their chemistry process. I’ve watched too many explosion episodes with all the “Ingredient X” and “Mystery Procedure” 😊
25:00 who didn’t know, just saying, kitchen sponge after washing dishes has to be soaked and soaked with washing up liquid again and left. That’s how bacteria will be killed :)
Didn’t give that first fiero a long enough take off ramp. The suspension didn’t have any time to settle so as soon as the front wheels left the ramp the wheels were rebounding downward sending it forward as well the rear suspension doing the same as the weight transfers and pushing it even harder into a front flip. I think with a longer, less steep take off ramp it would be plausible without a submerged platform
It’s a little bit surreal to be watching them having a great time, knowing she’s not going to see forty and he’s not going to make it to fifty. I guess they packed a lot into the time they had, though, so that’s good.
@@seth1371yeah she passed away trying to beat her previous land speed record from blunt force trauma in a 500mph crash. She still beat her record at the top speed of 522mph and was posthumously awarded the award for the new record.
I think that having a car with a rear engine would have helped skipping since the weight distribution is more toward the back, naturally pitching the car up
This show is timeless and always relevant... well, right until "cellphone" and they pull out this ancient thing with actual physical buttons that was certainly modern for the time. Decades, and it still holds up. That's good TV.
I know this is way late, but the Countach is mid engine. The first car they used was a front engine. That's why it dipped its nose when going off the ramp. I feel that's quite the oversight. Note: I haven't finished the episode while making this comment.
That car skip was awesome…still not as awesome as the Cement Mixer Truck Explosion or at the end of the penultimate episode when they strapped Buster to the rocket sled and disintegrated him xD
I had forgot just how bad mythbusters botched tests in early seasons like this. Like why would you test a myth that had a long gradual ramp by using a short kicker and then not realize that’s why the car endo’d
Also that was not CGI there is no myth. The car actually did the skip over the water in the movie. No idea how deep that water was in the movie, but that is a real car, with a real stunt driver.
@@Pagliacci_Rex It's possible they did call the SFX people and other people in the film crew. But if it were simple, it would never make very good reality TV.
Yeah, it's annoying. To make it bearable you can switch to mono sound on your OS. On Windows: click the start button, start typing (search will automatically appear) "turn on mono audio", open the dialogue, and toggle it on On OSX: settings->accessibility->audio toggle "play stereo audio as mono" If you are on any other *nix you probably know how to do it. Don't forget to turn it off once you're finished.
I'm super glad I've been habitually washing EVERY CAN, including food cans, with soap and very hot water for no less than 30 seconds for the last 20 years. It just always seemed like a good idea and never thought about rat contamination. Also, "we need this little engine to go as fast as we can make it go. So we gave it nitrous." Yup! That will definitely help!
As a kid it looked cooled as hell. As an adult now, its painful to see the cars get ruined. Prayers the frame didn't get fucked and they could be rebuilt.
@@Thezaza054 It's a Pontiac Fiero - a first mass produced American mid-engine car. These two in the episode were the facelifted models produced between 1986 to 1988.
I contend that the Fiero flipped because the ramp was way too short, kicking the back end up and over. had the ramp been longer, that MIGHT not have happened.
They need a lip to pop off of.... just enough to lift the front end just a hair. That would get it out further before coming in contact with the water and keep the nose up
@@krawdaddy33 use the long gradual ramp instead of a short kicker that forced the front up way too much. If it was a long, gradual ramp, the vehicle would eventually level off almost
They completely blew over the fact that they rigged a whole car to drive remotely, Donut did this maybe a year ago? and had a hell of a tough time getting it right. And Jessi said the NOS gave the engine a 100 HP boost, so they must have dyno tuned it to make it work. They put a LOT of unseen effort into making that car skip
The first episode I’ve watched in years and I hear Jessi “you know me and cars”… damn. She really was “bout that life”, as they say. Much respect for her. Although she didn’t do much for the stereotype of women drivers.
A late uncle of mine worked in a biscuit/cookie factory, he worked nights on maintenance of the factories machinery. He turned me off biscuit/cookie for life after he informed me the factory was plagued by both rats and mice in large numbers. Their droppings of solid waste was just brushed of the biscuit/cookie but he never mentioned their water wate production. Many food factories are plagued by rodents and flies when there's no staff on site and we get to consume these products daily.
It's bad they didn't notice that,in the movie the car goes down a bit before jumping the pond so it means the ramp was kind of inverted sort of. Sort of like downhill with a bump but close to the water,that's why the car lands with the rear wheels on the water and it acts like a flat rock skipped
MB ramp was about 3 degrees too high that's why the nose of the fiero pointed at a sharper angle than the lambo in the movie. There are tons of videos on how that scene was filmed...
Yeah they totally fucked up that jump, and hearing him talk about the weight of the car and everything was ridiculous lol, like its their fault the car didn't skip yet they give any reason for it not working they can. I've seen side by sides hydroplane all the way across a huge pond/oasis in Glamis dunes, so I know for a fact this is possible!
Actually, the MB ramp was 3.4 degrees too high. Also, the color was wrong. It had to be red (obviously). Like the lambo in the movie. No wonder it didn't work!
Also I'm wondering about airfoil on the fiero, which the lambo SX crew may have also tweaked and optimized for the movie. That would not only weigh down the rear properly but keep it down after launch so it could touch down nicely at the rear. All told, there were many ways they could have better approximated the movie setup. That said, this episode really brought home to me what I never fully appreciated when I saw the originals: the mad skills of the MB team. Jessie's NOx mod was bordering on rocket-science.
Very scientific getting 1 sample of random objects you have no idea when it was last cleaned, having no regards for the ambient it was in. They arent testing light switch, money, remote controll, cellphone, they are testing a very specific light switch, a very specific money, a very specific remote controll, a very specific cellphone etc. Also very dumb the skipping part, they were testing the movie scene, not the idea itself, and the movie has some poetic lisense AND they didnt even used the same car (they wanted to test the scene, had to at least be the very same characteristics, not similar), the wight distribution was way of making it 100% pointless
it actually makes a ton of sense that the toilet seat is technically the cleanest household object. it's sort of like survivorship bias. since people would tend to think of their toilet seat as being the dirtiest thing in the house, it likely gets cleaned a lot more often than other objects which people don't actually consider dirty, or don't touch often enough or long enough to consider that they'd pick up many germs. that being said, i always wash my hands after touching money, regularly clean my keyboards and device screens, and i hope everyone else does too!
43:12 Oooooh, really bad thing to do! If that remote controlled steering happens to move, that right arm is not going to like it! In fact, it could easily break it, depending on the torque of the motor.
Looking back on these now, having since had some science education, its amazing to me how sporadic and spontaneous the experiments are. Take the first one; what was the question? If rats pee on cans then the pee will glow under UV? Well yeah, of course it will. Nonetheless its fun to watch, it never ceases to amaze me how chaotic their methodology was
Hmm a quick look at the two cars, could it be due to the one Mythbusterts tested had the engine in the front and so was front heavy and the Lambo possibly had the engine at the back?

That would not only weigh down the rear properly but keep it down after launch so it could touch down nicely at the rear. All told, there were many ways they could have better approximated the movie setup.
That said, this episode really brought home to me what I never fully appreciated when I saw the originals: the mad skills of the MB team. Jessie's NOx mod was bordering on rocket-science.
Very scientific getting 1 sample of random objects you have no idea when it was last cleaned, having no regards for the ambient it was in. They arent testing light switch, money, remote controll, cellphone, they are testing a very specific light switch, a very specific money, a very specific remote controll, a very specific cellphone etc.
Also very dumb the skipping part, they were testing the movie scene, not the idea itself, and the movie has some poetic lisense AND they didnt even used the same car (they wanted to test the scene, had to at least be the very same characteristics, not similar), the wight distribution was way of making it 100% pointless
4:25 - Damn, that grip on that rat was so fine that rat didn't even feel itself shitting.
Oh lord, I have to take my earbuds off and use phone speakers
A chain-letter???? Wow, how far have we come, LOL
it actually makes a ton of sense that the toilet seat is technically the cleanest household object. it's sort of like survivorship bias. since people would tend to think of their toilet seat as being the dirtiest thing in the house, it likely gets cleaned a lot more often than other objects which people don't actually consider dirty, or don't touch often enough or long enough to consider that they'd pick up many germs. that being said, i always wash my hands after touching money, regularly clean my keyboards and device screens, and i hope everyone else does too!
Please upload the "Yawning is Contagious" episode.
Damnit.. I just Yawned... XP
Monk would be shock to hear the news that he has to bleach the house 🤣
Wow, Jessee and Grant ❤
my left ear feels very appreciated, though the announcer is also quiet on top of that xD
22:42 Adam puts the potentially dirtiest swab in his mouth 😂😂
43:12 Oooooh, really bad thing to do! If that remote controlled steering happens to move, that right arm is not going to like it! In fact, it could easily break it, depending on the torque of the motor.
my left ear loved the intro announcer lol
Looking back on these now, having since had some science education, its amazing to me how sporadic and spontaneous the experiments are. Take the first one; what was the question? If rats pee on cans then the pee will glow under UV? Well yeah, of course it will.
Nonetheless its fun to watch, it never ceases to amaze me how chaotic their methodology was
Jessy you are a gem 💎 ❤️💚💚
The ramp is too short, the front wheels are on the way down b4 the back wheels hits the ramp ...
If they didn’t increase the amount of fuel in the mix then the nitrous didn’t do squat to make more power
On the car slip it depends, every hydroplaning is infact a car skipping on water. Distance, speed and angles are key to if it will work.
I hear Robert in that corner again^^
Narrator teleports behind you. "nothing personal kid."
My left ear enjoyed the narration.
Hmm a quick look at the two cars, could it be due to the one Mythbusterts tested had the engine in the front and so was front heavy and the Lambo possibly had the engine at the back?
18:05 "I think we *CAN* call this one… busted" 🧐
my right ear really enjoyed the narrator
Finding out Jessi died from the comments of this video is heartbreaking rip another legend
Ive been an electrician since i was 5 years old. I can program computers and motors. I wish i could meet that guy driving the car.
