#AdamSavage #MythBustersAuction #GrantImaharaFoundation
"proceeds go to the grant imahara foundation". That went right in the feels.
Thats so true to all of us i'd believe
R.I.P Grant 👼🏻
I was so ready to rage that adam was blatantly pimping something for money....then he said that.
Ah, well, hell, carry on man.
And no, im not misty eyed, the cat just shat its box and the fumes are getting to me.
It's sad to realize that he has been gone from us for more than a year.
@@5bananas1 You might want to change that emoji
There will never be another show like Mythbusters. Its literally a once in a lifetime show.
true that. mythbusters got me out of class early once. my teacher said whoever answers his question correct gets to get out of class 15 mins early. the question was "what is the only sound that has no echo?"
all the kids were answering stuff like like "whispering", "no sound at all", "an echo" but me sitting in the back smirking put my hand up and said "a duck". he said "howd you know?" and i said "i saw it on mythbusters" as i was walking out the door with my bag lol
@@bmxscape ROTFLMAO! That is Epic! 🤣 Plus one for *SCIENCE!* 👍🔬🧪🧫⚗
The earlier seasons were better, once the corporate sponsorships started it wasn't anywhere near as good.
@@killerbee2562 Perhaps, but I'm still happy that they lasted as long as they did and put out so many cool episodes.
They did make one season of Mythbusters Jr. that I liked a lot. You can watch it Discovery, and there are a lot of clips on UA-cam.
I love how Adam doesn't have an "inner child" its just purely out there for all to enjoy.
"You're so immature!"
"I got paid to build rocket cars and I've polished poop, what do you want from me?"
I used to watch Mythbusters religiously. Still sad about Grant Imahara’s passing
RIP Grant Imahara, gone but *NEVER* forgotten. 🤖
sad way to pass away. Jessi that was the stand in for Kari due to motherhood also died (car accident)
@@Nickerian91 Its hard to watch that season knowing both are now gone.
@@Nickerian91 Both are terrible tragedies, but let's give Jessi the credit she deserves: it wasn't just any car accident, it was a rocket-powered, 500 miles-per-hour, "breaking the women's land-speed record" car accident. That's in a class of its own.
Yeah it sucks. Rest In Peace Grant.
Every time I see Adam using his tattoo to measure things it just makes me smile. What a clever solution for a builder/creator.
I can't imagine that would stay accurate over his lifetime though. I mean I don't have any ink so maybe someone who does can chime in? I do know that tats change over a person's lifetime though. But yes. I agree it's a neat idea in theory anyway.
@@EricLinstone it does loose some accuracy, but it's never used for anything other than estimation anyway.
I would say working out or muscle deteriorate would be a bigger factor for making it inaccurate
@@callumrock11lol76 That is not made to be precise. This is just eyeballing how large something is; refinement and measuring comes later. For quick builds this is just perfect.
@@izerath001 I never said it was precise in the first place and yes I am aware of that as I evidently gave a factor how it isn’t accurate
The fact that he ended it with jumping on its back is perfect. Classic Adam Savage!
Some of us filming MAY have had a mini heart attack.
@@tested I imagine that’s a semi regular occurrence with Adam. 😂
Dr.Savage-love, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Ride the Shark!
Adam gives "Jumping the shark" new meaning…
@@GeorgeVCohea-dw7ou OH MY GOD that youtube link! I can't thank you enough for introducing that to my life.
I was so unbelievably lucky to stumble onto the tour in Christmas 2016 when it was at the Mall of America in Minneapolis. We weren't supposed to be there at all but a snow storm forced us to spend two days in the hotel attached and we got to explore the mall and were overjoyed to find the tour! We spent a long time in there with our daughter, enjoying every moment. Thank you to everyone who made that show possible.
"The Grant Imahara STEAM foundation". What a wonderful memorial.
I have a picture of my wife with her head in its mouth from 2012 when we saw the exhibit at MSI in Chicago. Thanks for the memories, Adam!
so much nostalgia!
Hell yeah, its William!
@@Miscast Hey Miscast!
I miss those days watching mythbuster on Discovery channel
When they were planning over everything at the start I could see every episode in my head
Hell yeah, It's William! (thanks for the idea @miscast)
This looks like it should be terrorizing Ocean Avenue on Bob's Burgers.
Where’s the soft serve machine lol
Does anyone else get the feeling that if he had the space, Adam would be hanging it from the rafters of his cave?
He already has a t Rex skull hanging in the cave 😄
Whomever bids on this, do it for Grant, but make sure this doesn't sit in a warehouse somewhere.
Or on top of a pole between two palm trees in a junkyard!!
"It belongs in a Museum!"
Absolutely! The Shark should go to the Smithsonian museum. 🦈 It belongs there, not as a tourist attraction at a cheep bait shop!
"You belong in a museum!"
There needs to be a word to describe that feeling of nostalgia, longing, sheer happiness, laughter and a little sadness (RIP Grant Imahara). This sums up my feelings about Mythbusters.
Here in Brazil we have Saudades... I think it fits
Like Nostaljoycholia, but shorter...🤔
Well, the Germans probably have one, so just borrow that... :)
6:27 I like to imagine he just always has those in his pocket 24/7
In case of Ninja attack. Someone rushes him and just flip-flip-flip, three dead ninjas lol
I was really hoping that he was gonna Fire it up but still very cool.
If you want to put that on a van, i think you're going to need a bigger van. . .
Classic
I see what you did there. ;)
I always forget about Adam's tattoo until he uses it and it's just so practical he's got me convinced to get one
Adam Savage on top of his old animatronic shark... while wearing his Mars Yards. Love it!
#Weartester
Hearing Adam say "i got to work with one of the best engineers I've ever met" really warms the heart. Brings back a lot of fond memories of watching Adam and Jamie work together on the show.
Immense respect
Did I just watch Mr. Savage use his tattoo ruler on his forearm to measure the thickness of the steel? Brilliant!
I thought I would never catch him actually use it!
Hey, Adam, I don't know anyone who's so remarkably happy all the time being himself and enjoying himself. We have a lot in common, so I like to watch your way of doing things, "feeling" what you're doing when you work in your workshop.
I've a small workshop in the Netherlands, doing some armour, once in a while a knife, some electronic stuff, castings etc. Some forging etc.
I enjoyed all your Mythbuster stuff back then very much!
me, never having heard of this exhibition: holy heck, bucket list!
me, immediately after, reading about it being permanently over and being auctioned off: well *frick*
Me too.
I would have loved to see it again.... It was very cool.
I love that he uses his tattoo to measure things. It makes me smile every time he does it. Thank you adam savage and all the others on this channel for making me smile. And for showing me awesome mechanical sharks.
The fact you actually measure things with your tattoo is so cool, That’s the perfect tattoo for you Adam.
I remember the one Shark episode where Grant was flailing around a swarm of sharks and screamed "S**T! SOMETHING JUST TOUCHED ME!"
RIP Grant ;-;
Hi Adam, Wherever it ends up, hopefully it is protected so it lasts as long as possible. :)
The few times I had seen Grant at events I would always address him as Professor. Good to see his legacy will continue to grow.
I'd buy Roboshark if I had the money.
Yes
If I bought it I'd donate it to the Smithsonian museum. That's where it belongs, not as a cheep tourist attraction at a bait shop! 🦈
I would love this for my haunted house in FL :(( beautiful piece of history. Love how happy you are talking about this Adam.
I read the title and thought Mythbusters was coming back
Same here
I wish.
All these years and adam still gets as giddy as a kid in a candy shop for this stuff, no bitterness or anything, what a treasure of a human being.
Why would he be bitter? Even in this video, he called Jamie the best engineer he's ever known.
They weren't pals, they never will be. They've both said it themselves, their personalities are just nothing alike. But they've both expressed nothing but professional respect for one another. A really great TV show might run for 6, 7, MAYBE 10 years. Mythbusters got 17 seasons and nearly 300 episodes.
There might be some longing, even sadness that it ended. But bitterness? That wouldn't even occur to me to consider that as a thing.
@@Bad_Wolf_Media nah im just speaking im general, u see how alot of people nowadays, when there shows get canceled they have animosity towards the network or former co-workers. Im just pointing out how he still glows about the show and work hes done and im happy for it. I wish discovery would bring him back and give him some other form of a show because he clearly still has a biv passion for science.
I just hope I can afford something, *anything*, from this auction. haha. Cool stuff for such a good cause!
This has "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver" written all over it.
The AT&T selling WB to Discover jokes write themselves
@6:50 the casual use of the ruler tatoo is priceless Adam. :D
I just love the sales pitch at the end! Priceless.
Not going to lie I'm kinda sad this stuff is being sold off. I feel like the Mythbusters legacy deserves to be on show for everyone and not a private collection away from the public.
The Shark should go to the Smithsonian museum. 🦈 It belongs there, not as a tourist attraction at a cheep bait shop!
Ehh
But it has been for 10yrs part of public exhibition so where are they going to put it? Everything gets sold and loses value on a long enough timeline
There's a lot of documentation for Mythbusters, and I would be just as excited to visit exhibits built by new makers as I would to see one of Busters original pieces in all its charred glory. Or a VR experience of The Exploding Toilet, a full set you can wander around while it explodes in slow motion. Or a recreation of Adam blowing off his eyebrow with the scale model, with hair dryers for a hot blast and a chair tilt while the headset flashes and bangs. They didn't seem too concerned with posterity while they made the show, but I think Mythbusters is interactive. Fans will keep it going, if we put it in boxes like "tv show" or "hosts do science" we ignore the crazy ambitions that have inspired so many.
@@captaintoyota3171 The items in the Smithsonian aren't about financial value but historical & cultural value. & Jaws & the Mythbusters both qualify for these two markers. Whoever buys it should donate it to the Smithsonian. That's where it belongs.
The best part of the video is at 6:50 when adam uses his tattoo to measure the shark tooth.
it's funny how from the intro i knew literally all the builds from the shows and RIP Grant we'll miss you.
Hey Adam love to watch you on tested and I remember when that episode aired on discovery Channel, you made my day seeing you trashing in that shark, good luck with the sale I hope it goes for a good price. The more money for the foundation the better. Have a good one savage
i just look at this....and i remember......coming home one day, it was afternoon, after cool in either september or May for the last time that year and i just turn on the TV, i go to the TV guide, and look through the DVR and just find this show playing, and not just this show, but the very episode Bruce was being built and i was just in Awe at the entire time, i loved everything and i'd give anything to be able to go back to those days and watch that episode for the first time all over again, Mythbusters was my Childhood show, i loved it so so much, so much so i wanted to work for Jamie and Adam on it, but that never came to fruition, and now i just learn and learn and learn some more, just......so much nostalgia from my favorite show of all time, and i miss it so so much
I know that guy! His workshop is legendary!
My dads been a Taxidermist for nearly 60 years. In Georgia just outside of Chattanooga Tennessee.
If there were ever a time he needed a fiberglass cast of a fish, he got them from that guy. He’s known him for at least 40 years. He and dad are truly old-timers in the craft, and have been doing it longer than anyone alive. That I’m aware of. Dad was 80 yesterday, and started taxidermy in his late teens. Had the same phone number since phone lines were put in.
Dad had a 14 foot Mako shark on top of his van through the 70s and 80s.
I think they actually went out of business earlier this year, which is a shame. Because they made some of the best fiberglass casts in the world.
I know the older gentleman who started the company passed away. So maybe they sold out to someone. I know I was really bummed to hear they might/did shut down.
I know China was really cutting into their profits. They have these massive mold houses in China, and ship them to the states for pennies on the dollar. And they had been cutting into his business for about 20 years.
I’ve been down there several times, The first time before I was even born. Him and my mom took a trip down there when she was eight months pregnant, to get a load of fish molds. And my dad‘s old van broke down and they ended up walking up the interstate in the middle of August weather 😂 Heard that story my whole life.
It was such a cool place, he was really old school, I always loved visits to his shop and the surrounding area was amazingly dangerous! I loved it!.
Hilarious that you mention them, and got to use one of their casts.
He is a smart, big fish. He's gone under the boat!
He can't dive! Not with three barrels in 'im!
The Shark should go to the Smithsonian museum. 🦈 It belongs there, not as a tourist attraction at a cheep bait shop!
Ah that enthusiasm! Never fails to make me laugh
I've always wanted to goto the US to see this expedition sad I missed my opportunity to see all these great things.
I want it!
Sobs for the charity! Love this. I wish I could buy that magnificent shark boi.
"Yee-haw!" Indeed, Adam, indeed... :D
Thought I'd seen every Adam Savage imaginable.... Then Adam Savage the salesman appears. 😆 Love it
I love it - 6:52 he uses his ruler tattoo! :)
I love the Mythbusters! I really wish they would bring the show back!! I know I cannot be the only one that wants it to come back!!
I'm pretty sure Jamie and Adam don't want it to come back, they have both said as much.
No your not, but Jamie has said he doesn't want to do the show. If they were to bring it back, & without him I doubt a reboot would work. Part of the fun of the show was watching Jamie & Adam together.
“IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!”
Exactly! The Shark should go to the Smithsonian museum. It belongs there, not as a tourist attraction at a cheep bait shop! 🦈
The obligatory "SO DO YOU!" reply
My eyes lit up when I saw this shark in the thumbnail. I remember this! Kinda sad this has to be sold off, it doesn't deserve to be hidden away in some private collection. The world needs to see this kind of thing, put it in a science museum.
I love that Adam has a ruler tattoo.
I wonder if Adam feels differently about working with Jamie again. I know after the show ended he said they'd never work together again, but anytime he talks about those days the pure joy on his face is just there for everyone to see. I'm not saying they should bring the show back. It's probably better off left alone, but I am curious if Adams thoughts on working with Jamie again have changed over the years.
I can’t even imagine the moulds for that shark. I used to make motocycle bodies and canoes(back in the day), moulds too, lol.
Now, I'll forever have the image of Adam Savage in the place of Slim Pickens, riding the nuke down to detonation.
I have an image of Slim Pickens riding an atomic shark. ;-)
Adam using and trashing those Nike Mars Yards a sight to behold.
I’d really like a “where are they now” for these sold Mythbusters props. As much as Adam is optimistic about them being displayed in a goofy manner for the whole world to see, I can’t help but think they’re secreted away in mancaves and private collections where few people can ever back in their glory anymore
Mythbusters was an iconic tv show my dad and I watched all the time when I was a Padawan. We still watch reruns till this day. Love you guys!
The best thing about this? When Adam casually measures something on his ruler tattoo.
This. All of this!
I'm pretty selective with the thumbs up but this earned it. I smiled the whole time I watched. Adam had so much joy reminiscing. Thank you!
I soooo miss Myth Busters! Someone should bring it back, I know it would not be the same, but it would still be great viewing.
Mythbusters and sharks always makes me think of Tory and Hugo.
Man I wish they could put differences aside and come back and do mythbusters again. I miss that show, such good times
"Sharks, they only bite if you touch their private parts..."
LOL
You know this from experience?
@@assassinlexx1993 HAHA - it's from a movie... hence the "..."
@@S1L3NTG4M3R
That makes sense. One never knows in this crazy world.
Man, this stuff is so cool, I guarantee this stuff is gonna go for a lot so only extreme fans with a bunch of money are gonna be able to get this stuff. Would be awesome to be able to get my hands on anything from this show, all of this stuff is incredible and one of a kind.
It would be amazing to see Mythbusters make a return. So many Myths still to test. Its sad that both Adam and Jamie have stated they have no interest in working together. My impression is while both respect each other deeply, their personalities are too diverse and don't mesh well with each other on a personal level. In short, they didn't get along well.
Don't forget its name, Bruce!
Adam doing his Slim Pickens impersonation of riding the bomb ... cool. :)
Hope a lot of that stuff ends up in the Smithsonian. The needs to be a permanent exhibit of all the crazy stuff that was built.
Thanks to you and the entire mythbusters crew for making science and technology fun.
That exhibit was amazing and fun.
There was a Dilbert cartoon in 2012 where Alice had built a roboshark to patrol the territorial waters around her cubicle - it's a very different roboshark to this, but I've been planning on building one ever since!
First thing I thought of when Adam hoped on the shark was the hat twirling nutbag riding the bomb.......obviously so did Adam lol.
That Roboshark hit me right in the nostalgia.
Now I am seeing a food van with several of these artefacts from the show called "Mythical Munchies" XD
I expect someone to buy this and set up a shark rodeo!
I would love to visit a mythbusters museum
I remember that show well.
Man this is so nostalgic
I was not prepared for this to be a sale pitch but I was already sold before it hit. Pity I never got to see the exhibition
Seaworld would like a coin-for-a-ride mechanical shark.What a bullride competitor that could be. LOL
The fact that there isn’t a single spec of corrosion in this gorgeous work of art and engineering is honestly making me tear up just a little
The entire steem frame has rust on it didnt you see it obvously fiberglass doesnt rust
In a real shark attack, beyond simply being thrashed around, you also have the other problems of severe trauma to your body from lacerations, blood loss, and possibly broken bones, and then on top of that is the fact that sharks have a retractable membrane that automatically covers their eyes specifically to protect them from damage caused by thrashing prey. So even if you could manage to locate and poke a shark in the eye while suffering grievous bodily harm, it wouldn't do a damn thing.
Thanks for stating the obvious.
@@dzjc01 I aim to please.
Some people jump the shark. Adam rides it.
Major Kong laughs all the way to ground zero...
Thank you for the heart!
I wish I could bid on it but hope someone is happy getting it
Adam and Bruce are like Thor and Mjolnir
Good memories of my favorite Mythbusters episodes. I am surprised that you kept those Mythbusters props.
I can’t believe some kids grew up without Mythbusters
It's like that shark had an encounter with a propeller plane from a previous myth (only not really).
But does it come with a manual?
Damn, for a second I failed to see the apostrophe and I was on cloud nine...
Adam getting on the back of that just sold it for somebody
Not for weird reasons but just because they know it’s that sturdy
Such a blast from the past. :)
I am surprised there isn't a Mythbusters museum.
This should go on top of my 2005 honda civic. I need it!
i can't believe i just watched a nine minute long ad for an auction item
