@@ryanthompson2893 Yeah, because all they do is run to church and the grocery store on Sundays, lol. Many of the models shown only recently disappeared. I'm not saying I'm ancient, and there are definitely still some bopping around. I'm just saying it's always a blast from the past when, for the most part, all the cars are different, lol.
I love how raw these early episodes were. This is one of those rare shows that actually suffered from higher budgets and production quality. Like, the random b-roll of Adam eating a burrito, the almost Tarantino film quality of the video, the lack of fancy graphics and scripting, just pure problem solving, puns, and unvarnished fun.
These episodes being uploaded are the extended versions which were not originally aired in North America. Although usually the extended parts are relevant to the experiment 😅
These early episodes are so nostalgic for me. Sitting down every Thursday with my dad, I had just started 4th grade lol. He and I don’t have much in common aside from out love of cars, so it was always nice to have something to bond over.
I like how simple it is. Basically everyone can try it themselves if they want. And I like the simplicity of video itself - no hollywood quality overprocessed video. Just whatever came out of camera.
This is why I'm fond of the early episodes, Mythbusters got that, "What the HECK are we doing here!?" vibe in the first place. Later seasons, everyone felt too professional, they don't really show mistakes and mishaps and they really formatted the show into a show and tell, instead of, "Let's see what we can do to solve the issue".
Thats what happens when everything gets too big, at someone point they always lose that we are friends feel and become we are business partners seeing a deal through feel.
The leaping lawyer was very much a real case: he was a high-profile lawyer married to someone who would later become the city manager in Toronto. His office was on the 24th floor of TD Centre's tallest tower. Every year he had a large group of interns visit the building, and the tour would end in his large corner office, where he'd demonstrate the strength of the windows (it wasn't any sort of "male bravado" than it was simply pure stupidity. He repeatedly ran into the same window over many years, and one year, the window simply gave out, and fell into the marble courtyard facing King Street - so everyone got a view of this, in the middle of a busy work day at the busiest intersection in the country. It was sometime in the late 80's or early 90's. The windows were actually very strong... but not intended for the purpose the lawyer used them for.
Kari's first appearance on the show, cool to see her doing the digital art which was more her background as an artist before the show Edit: also awesome to see so many elements you see used offhand in future episodes being explained or invented like the speed gauges or the water level pressure gauges
I am not sure if the glass was not broken by the stand. If you slow down frame by frame, you see the weights touch the glass, nothing, then the wooden base touches it and it breaks.
I totally forgot about,Adam doing toy prototyping. He did the Star Wars micro machines ships and such,I played with them so Much as a kid and still have most of them on my book shelves.Thanks Adam!
Interesting note about the Myth about the guy who went through that pane of glass. The glass didn’t shatter, it actually came out of its mounting frame. Obviously shattering when it hit the ground.
@@allanshpeley4284 It's a true story from Toronto. But they didn't look into how or why the glass failed. But I've a theory myself. When the Hancock Tower in Boston was completed, they had issues with the glass on the upper floors popping out and falling to the street below. The cause was repeated stress due to thermal expansion and contraction. So it is actually pretty plausible that if a guy spent years running against the same pane of glass as a demo that the stress over time could cause it to fail.
Man, you can see the difference between these guys with and without TV make-up Adam and Kari look so different, and not in a bad way (Kari's freckles are cute, if I'm gonna be overly frank)
From a marketing standpoint I guess it does make sense to air the later, more polished/interesting episodes first. I still don't quite understand why the odd intro, they could've easily replaced it
Funny to see them testing window jumper "myth" considering it's 1: absolutely true; 2: had a wikipedia article, and 3: happened only 10 years prior to this season's filming, but had clearly made several rounds as a myth and lost several details, but somehow kept 24 floors true to reality
Watching some of these older shows they are more amateurish . They definitely got more polished and professional in the next couple of years . Still a lot of fun to see where they started .
this show was just out right fun to watch . it did several things to people as they would watch it . one is the WTF these guys were payed to live out the dream job of a mad scientist so cool . the rest well helped people see that science is fun an sometimes weird at the same time . great show an i have said this often mythbusters need a star on the walk of fame .
0:52 What show or film was the model visible at 53 seconds used in? It has kind of a Trek Next Generation look and feel to it, (like any of the Star Bases or ship saucer sections) but I don't think I've seen said model in an episode. I noticed the model seems to have smaller modules sprouting off the main hub which extended behind where Adam was sitting/working.
I was gonna like this video either way but the we should do this in Vegas so we can say I went to Vegas and blew some dough (30:02) sealed the like deal. Lol.
Random awkward shots. Adam eating; Kari popping up in the background watching; Jamie shopping. Using their own car, betting a buck instead of 100. A very own charm. I'm interested to know if Adam honestly didnt know/realise that pressure builds up over a large surface. 2024 he seems a definitive authority on knowledge like that, but I guess he had to learn somewhere.
interesting, i had heard the lawyer was doing tours to new hires and every time he would jump at the window, and when he did, the whole pane poped free from the frame and that was how he'd fell
The version of the third myth that I heard was that he was an engineer or something showing off how strong the glass was, and proved his point when it didn't break but just pop right out of the window pane.
Having just slowed down the video, to me, it appears the wooden base broke the window. You can see the bottom of the window flex a bit before shattering. Therefore it was the density of the wooden base combined with the sharp angle of the corners that actually broke the window not the weight of the simulated person. Does anyone else see this? Am i crazy?
If a butt did get vacuumed down to the bowl seat…it is not just getting up that would be a problem. The vacuum would be pulling on the intestine and any faeces inside, which could be painfully injurious.
Also remember or realise a very large person especislly a woman . The fat would..could..conform to the toilet..the mold they made is quite firm n solid .fat..skin. can mold form around things .what its sitting on. Lol. So it might form a seal
As a fatty, this is the truth. Always had an issue with how this was done in the show because it didn't feel real Enough. The material they used is great for a lower layer, but they need more soft fatty analogue material to imitate the fat that would conform about the shape of the seat. It was also a failure in that they used a small womans ass to make a large ass. Fat butts and skinny butts are gonna be different enough that this editing they did was not enough.
I worked in building across street when the lawyer went through window He landed in cement bench below It took forever to get blood stain out A true traumatic tragedy Not just for the lawyer and his family but those watching
It looked to me like the dolly itself broke the glass. You can see the sandbags hit the glass and then the wooden dolly appears to react and hit the glass. If you slow it down it appears the glass flexes there before fully shattering.
you know ur getting old when the cars in the stuff you used to watch are no longer on the road anymore lol
So true and this show still seems pretty recent to me not 20years old.
Well, you still see the Buicks from that era running around.

These first episodes are so fantastically awkward, it's hilarious!
really puts into perspective how easily younger me was impressed lol
I love these. I love all Mythbusters but the early seasons seem so genuine. The scenario acting in later seasons is pretty corny today.
By awkward, you mean real. I assume. Became a clown show later.
I love how they kept the thinking-out in these early ones!
Agree
These early episodes are so nostalgic for me. Sitting down every Thursday with my dad, I had just started 4th grade lol. He and I don’t have much in common aside from out love of cars, so it was always nice to have something to bond over.

@@jasonmartin364 Jamie and Adam has never been friends tho. And I think its more obvious here in the early episodes.
@@BarbusCraft I know, I just meant the feel they had in the first few seasons, you could really tell it was just business later on in the show

Holy Crap. The dude at 44:43 mark is full on dressed like a Minion, glasses and all. Yeaaarrss before Despicable Me came out.
Jamie with his engineering Bible is the best!

Strictly speaking I’m pretty sure she can be seen very early in the background of the pilot but this is a hell of a proper debut
@@doctorsuaveYeah she is in the background of the first episode, but this episode (the second episode according to the DvD) counts as her debut.
I am not sure if the glass was not broken by the stand. If you slow down frame by frame, you see the weights touch the glass, nothing, then the wooden base touches it and it breaks.
"that's a pretty big fish, could've been like a 300 pounder" now thats a big ass !!! 😅

Budget was so low, that he had to sacrifice his own car

I remember first seeing the falling lawyer story on the 1000 ways to die t.v series that was out around the same time as mythbusters
Authentically funniest 😂
I cried the last day this show aired on TV, I grew up watching this show and its a big part for my love of space and science.
Brings a whole new meaning to a hole in one!!!!
In those days, half of the episode was about just getting everything they needed for the episode. Shopping cookie dough, calling around etc.
46:25 Jamie is damn fast with his legs.
9:27 and thus a legend was born
god the excuse to use Kerri's but is great.
9:07 How did it take me scrolling this far down in the comments to find someone reference this? 😆
If the suction was on all the time you might not even need to push it might just pull the log right on out of you lol.

2:45 when you’re trying to explain to the homies how you got in a situation
8:52 Omg sry I can't help but thinking; what a highlight to this is 😊
9:07 This being a starting point everyone is dismayed had to be changed at all. (Or at least, I know I was) 😆
All the kari semps are coming out lol
Dat ass tho.
interesting how often they used Bob Brozman slide guitar music for the soundtrack!
What's with this intro? The other early episodes aren't so... pilot-y
The first episodes aired later. I do not know why. Larrys Lawn Chair was the first recorded. But Jato was first shown.
They kinda screwed up the numbering. They added the 3 pilot episodes to Season 1
From a marketing standpoint I guess it does make sense to air the later, more polished/interesting episodes first. I still don't quite understand why the odd intro, they could've easily replaced it
These first episodes are awesome. Jamies truck was missing a side view mirror lol. Wish the show would of stayed more like these ones.

Looks like the wooden trolly smashed the window, the weight up top tilting back gave it a little more kick?
34:46 people in Putin's Moscow do be falling out of high windows left and right, though...
I remember the first episodes was so arkward, because they didn't know how the show is going.

i thought the lawyer myth was based on the window fully popping out of the building intact not that he smashed through the glass itself.

This one coulda been a 300 pounder!!! Nowadays that’s a 10!!! TV before being too sensitive!
300 is still hogging
Back in the day when it was just Jamie and Adam.
Is this one of those Pilot episodes or whatnot, the tone feels different to the earlier ones.
Its the second episode of the show so its very early.
It is one of the three pilots along with JATO Car and Poppy Seed Drug Test/Lawn Chair Balloon.

nothing worse than when your container prematurely bursts

Everything use to be so much better I miss good times

the early seasons are less scientific eventhough they tried, just a simple try and see if it works approach

Correct trm is draw Mr Mynamen.
I heard this story about the ego guy proving how small his brain was if he exised .
The reports said that the window popped out of the frame, but their window shattered. That tells me that the construction was incorrect.

The first episodes are the best, with only Jamie and Adam.
But of course, Kari is nice to. ;)
9:07 You put "Kari" and "but" and "of course" in the wrong order 😆
Kari's Ass!!❤❤
The falling through a pane glass window has happened many times, because of the myth that high speed winds hold the windows in place.
Kevin heart on soul plane 😅
Mark Pondelick sounds exactly like Louis CK's character in Parks and Rec.
the amount of times they lie for tv is laughable
p.s lawyer was soul goodman
Kari 😍😍😍😍🥵
The "myth" is not that the glass broke, it's that the frame came loose and pushed outwards. They tested it all wrong.
I'm glad they got rid of the slide guitar/ banjo music
Dude with the vac toilets looks extremely thrilled with life, (he feels like a glorified turd burglar)
