"Batman probably didn't get it on his first try either, so..." was oddly motivational.
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
I love how when Adam says "No one turns green when they get angry and has super strength" the camera shot goes to Jamie silently standing there.
Hehe. I can fully imagine Jamie Hulking.
Making a winch that only goes up is such a Mythbuster thing to do...
If that huge grappling hook was flying straight as an arrow id hate to see one going sideways 😅😅😅
The canon when more straight ahead, when it shoot backwards.
Jamie cutting the line holding his weight by swinging a sharp blade right next to his safety line was not the smartest choice I think lol.
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.
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
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
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
I have no idea how they convinced Jamie to wear that costume lmao
Grant: I'll make a cannon with nitro
Me: wait is this the episode when...
4 minutes later
Still me: yep, there it is, "a little accident in the shop that punched a hole trough the wall"... twice
GOD I love this show.
19:56 Jamie's look and Adam's distand "Sorry!" is so hilarious. XD
34:43 - "...and then, it will REPLICATE"
Probably the best Attenborough-skit. 😂 (Beside the "is he doing the David Attenborough-thing again?" of course.)
Their 2nd punch clearly didn't hit directly and it wasn't on the cheek and there was no warm blood flow. These things can make a massive difference.
The knot was genius
Awesome, thank you! Love Mythbusters and superheroes.
I had one of those Z28's. 1984. It was a blast. Loved it so much.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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?
My blood flowing when Kari jumps out the phone booth dressed as a superhero you know what I'm saying brother!?
The cannon was on the wrong side
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.
I forgot Star Man was a thing, I need to rewatch those.
I kept thinking throughout the whole thing "Isn't this the episode where Jamie slashed his face with a steel cable?"
You'd think the current owners of this show could afford the BatLogo(tm) by now...
Adam West would be proud
And again, sadly, forgetting, or ignoring the obvuous that with no circulation, there will be no bruises.
These guys were my only friends growing up.
My first science heroes ❤
Except what they do is _barely_ science.
Please, please, do not look up to this show. You should despise it. The worst show on TV of this generation. No kidding.
@@UnitSe7en Well, let's not overstate the case. Granted, there's often flaws in their methodology, but they're not trained scientists, they're technically-capable people who are performing scientific testing to the best of their ability. The point of the show isn't to perform pure scientific research, obviously - it is to instead spark the audience's sense of curiosity and wonder, and I have little doubt that there are quite a number of people who entered the scientific community specifically because these guys inspired them to do so. There's absolutely nothing despicable about that.
@@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. 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 dumbest thing you'll ever hear someone say as a reply to what you know as 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 (And 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.
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
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.
phantoms ring stood out hers were indented plus mate mine has scar on face from a fight where a ring to face
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
love the vibes but still sad how much they had wrong
think you need protrusion to get the skull....
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.
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.
15:08 me after taco bell
20mm amsteel would not break
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.
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 shape of the ring was wrong
I climbed a wall with two suction cups once's google grabo, works like a charm. Cept the batteries dont last long.
At 21:00 somome chould walk out that door an get shot so easy .. 😅
The unluckiest episode of Mythbusters?
Would a carbon fibre rope have worked for the car swing?
Don’t come for me, I know absolutely nothing in this field.
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 >
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
Batman used titanium in his gear.
Wonder why though cause in strength to weight ratio titanium is about the same as aluminium. The advantages of titanium are it's resistance to metal fatigue and it's ability to retain it's strength when subjected to heating. Neither of which are really relevant. Armor doesn't flex that much and it also isn't subjected to extreme heat for prolonged periods.
The Blackbird was made of titanium because it was the only metal that could retain it's structural strength at the high temperatures the plane experiences. But that's talking about prolonged periods of time. If you aim a flamethrower at aluminium armor it will hold up for 10 seconds just fine which is more than enough. Though when it comes to body armor steel is much harder than either and is much stronger for a given volume, ceramic tiles can absorb far more energy and kevlar is much lighter.
@@MrMarinus18because Titanium sounds way cooler 🤙🏼😁
Release more seasons please 🙏🏼❤️
That girl is a bad driver she needs to be better
38:05 Women drivers lol jk
So they prove they aren't superheroes...
ez weld :)
bruh that was someone's skull, I wonder if any of the mythbusters have ever been haunted by the owner of that skull lol
I just hope this is not a fake channel monetizing a really great show
Their channel about page has a note about distribution rights and the company noted looks to have bought the rights to the show earlier this year.
This channel is owned by the owners of the copyrite
@@dylanmckiernan8577 allen pan? xD
Seems legit. Apparently, a French multinational television production and distribution company is behind it.
funny thing is, hacksmith has already test that myth
dude this episode aired in the same year that the hacksmith uploaded his first videos to yt in 2007
They might've make some of the myth busted... Kids and teens would absolutely try them, even if it's dangerous!
Stating it as busted would discourage such acts!
From back when Grant was still alive 😕
RIP. He's a big part of my interest in science and engineering since I was a kid
Every episode is since he was alive..
8:13 girl on boy violence is not funny.
Because pork skin post-mortem is the same as live human face. Yep, cool. Got it.
Real life forensics use ring impressions regularly.
Another fail.
Exactly what I was thinking!
@@LoricSwift MB is so trash I can't even.
Because getting a dead human body, on daytime tv is so easy. Yep, cool. Got it.
Another stupid comment.
Don’t forget that you are watching a TV SHOW where there are budget, time, rule and pratical restraints.
@UnitSe7en but yet here you are watching it and commenting 😅😅
Try punching grant's carcass
Rude 🤔
stupid comment
