Jamie: "Quack damn you!"

These older episodes hit different today
Agreed, I feel 6 years old again
They are the best
Can't believe it's been 15+ years since these episodes 😢.... I remember watching Dog the Bounty Hunter and mythbusters on a hot summer afternoon in 2009 when I was 6 years old😢.... oh god, I wish I could go back 😢.... life was so much better 15+ years ago....
It’s because they were legit. The network let them use all their own supplies and jokes instead of giving them a pile of material and a script.
They feel so real. It's like they're two average Joe's in their garage being filmed. Almost like a well filmed RUclips show from 2010 😂
28:19 when Adam almost knocks Jamie out with the inflated raincoats will never get old.
Just an FYI. A 1955 blue Chevrolet (California license plate KPB076) was reported stolen in Marin County the same day as the escape, a claim corroborated by contemporaneous stories in the Humboldt Times and the San Francisco Examiner. The following day, a motorist in Stockton, California, 80 miles east of San Francisco, reported to the California Highway Patrol that he had been forced off the road by three men in a blue Chevrolet.
This is how to make scientific shows interesting!
Hoping all episodes would be uploaded and be made available for eternity!
wish they did the same with every Adolf recording there is.
Obviously he was recorded every time he gave a speech and yet you can only find so much and not all of it.
Funny how that works, especially if we are to believe we have been told the truth.
This is the Company owning the rights to mythbusters, so they will probably upload all of them
😢😢
@@phiphi334 They owned another channel that had more episodes but they made them unavailable in the U.S. as of yesterday, so if they’re not just porting them over here I don’t have high hopes for this staying in the future
“He’s trying to collect a loan from the duck” Priceless.
Duck Loan Collection Agency 😂
@@PlutoTheSecond no he's talking about Aflac
“Quack, damn you.”
The Alcatraz myth is one of my favorite episodes.
Same. Been so long since I see it.
duct tapes episodes always my favorite
27:45 - Bang!, Bang!, Bang!, Bang!, Bang! Wait, was that a guard? .....No. Bang! Bang! Bang Bang! Bang Bang!
As far as the "microchip" myth goes, I'm willing to bet what really happened was a needle tip broke off due to someone being incompetent, and when the guy pulled it out of his arm he thought it was a microchip because he was paranoid enough to think there was a microchip in his arm to begin with. That or he was just flat out crazy or making stuff up for attention or to feed conspiracy theorists.
if they did survive i hope they enjoyed the episode
They would be dead now
@@TheNilla2020 not if the letter found 6 years ago was correct this episode originally aired in 2003
@@TheNilla2020
They would be in their 90s and probably alive
The Alcatraz expert lady said a bag with pictures and contact information was found and no one would let that go unless life or death situation ....Maybe that's EXACTLY why yhey let it go on purpose !
yep, definitely want the authorities to think you drowned to take the heat off.
If her dad was the assistant warden, she’s gonna stick to the “they drowned” narrative. It was a major screw up for all the staff at Alcatraz, and the narrative the prison took to save face is saying they drowned, as they had to maintain the idea that Alcatraz was escape proof. If they didn’t, Alcatraz would lose yet more funding, and the budget was already stretched incredibly thin. The engineers knew of the salt air corrosion in the cells and they didn’t have enough federal funding to fix it. I grew up in SF and I personally believe they made it. Idk ymmv
@@monfronoriginal I can understand the narrative that she puts forth makes total sense like you've said saving face ...The show actually made it clear that it was at least plausible the escapees may have made it to shore.I hope SF was a better place when you grew up as it is now.
@@user-wm2hv2mh9b it was..kind of. The tech thing was just taking off but the homeless thing was exploding when I was a kid. Only thing is I remember the police actually policing people if they broke the law.
I watched this as a kid and damn, the memories are coming!
😅
I watched this with your mom sorry i left
@@gustavofring3864It's all fun and games til that old guy in a wheelchair shows up and rings his bell
Indeed. I miss pre-dell Alienware and 2007 internet.
@@Hypagon he'll be half the man he used to be, that's for sure
They totally made it. It was only 3 miles, Jamie and Adam made it easily. No reason the other guys didnt. Like the episode said, Frank was smart, he would of known not to contact anyone after.
Just because they're smart doesn't mean they managed to make a perfectly sealed rubber raft in the dark and total silence. It's most likely the raft sprung a leak on the way and they drown. Again, the most damning evidence is that nobody's heard from any one of them since. None of their family, none of their friends. Not to mention the sheet of phone numbers that was recovered.
*would HAVE
@@Sam-ob4of Im saying the convicts totally DID make it
@@VashStarwind He was referring to your spelling of "would've", even though it does sound like "would of" it is not spelled that way.
@@TheLastPhoen1x Semantics. It means the same exact thing.
As long as it got my point across thats all i really care about.
So this was the episode that gave us "Quack damn you".....truely a wonderful contribution to internet memedom given to us by Mythbusters.
This is the exact episode I was waiting for. It's the best episode in this season, if you ask me, and one of the best episodes ever. It's also quite an iconic episode in and on itself
Yesss this and the duct tape survival episode got to be my favorites and most nostalgic personally
"WE'RE ESCAPING!" the best line in the entire show
The Red Cross somehow knows how to track you down for another donation. I'm in a 2% blood type group that just happens to be the universal plasma donor. About 32 seconds after I am eligible to donate another pint of plasma the phone rings with a 'friendly reminder'. I must have more chips in me than a main frame computer.
0 - blood?
@@tonytheslugger Actually B-. I can donate whole blood to 5% of the population but only accept from 2%. The plasma is the 'O -' of plasma's. Strange but true.
Used to watch these all the time when I came home from school…glad these have been popping up…keep ‘em’ comin’
QUACKDAMNYOU

Jamie: Adam don't let their looks deceive you, these are actually quite deadly
another all time great episode . i grew up on a farm an i new from the start a ducks quack can ecko but the quack damn you from jamie was so darn funny . this show from the first season to the very last is full of fun an forever one liners . hope you keep posting the full episodes
Thanks for uploading all of these old episodes.
Apparantly, the showers on Alcatraz had only hot water, as to not make the prisoners used to the cold water in the bay
The Alcatraz Escape is my favourite myth story ever. Which makes this one of my favourite episodes.
I remember this episode well. Very interesting story, Alcatraz.
@32:41 - Back then, the gas price was $1.859 for PLUS!! - in California mind you. I really do long for those days.
27:45: WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM
Adam: Wait! Was that a guard? ...No!
WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM
Classic moment. XD
Iconic Episode.
The music with the harmonica is so iconic
All-time great episode.
I remember a prison escape that was popular on the news about 10? years ago. They escaped and from my perspective, the main reason they got caught was because one of them was fat, out of shape, and had to consume alcohol along the way. Eliminate such idiotic behavior like this and actually work together, and it is reasonable to conclude that an escape from Alcatraz is, indeed, possible.
Could you give specifics? I'm curious about it now.
@@Mikeanglo The 2015 Clinton Correctional Facility escape was a jailbreak that took place on June 6, 2015, when two inmates, Richard Matt and David Sweat, were discovered missing during a 5:17 a.m. bed check at the maximum security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York, United States.
The best episode of Mythbusters by a mile
I haven't watched these in a long time and I forgot how funny Jamie is.
time to download all the episodes before they get struck down
that San Fran model is analogue environmental modelling at it's best :)
I like how there’s even a tide control room window overlooking the whole thing.
"Cuack dammit" XD I have that T-SHIRT
This reminds me of playing "mob of the dead" again.
Bob and Roy get a bayside home next to Alcatraz
brilliant
the folklorist!
"Jamie wants big boom."
28:14 ... i felt that lol
If you're ever in San Francisco, Alcatraz is totally worth checking out.
did you meet some gentle people there?
You can really see why people used to think Adam and Jamie were gay
35:35 that nurse has the cutest laugh I've ever heard
thats cos she has herself a purty little maouth.
Facts found on those internet lists. Ahhh, the internet in the days before reddit and 4chan...
Sad thing is that we know a bit more now since this was filmed. Maybe not evidence per-se, but more details that seem to suggest that they may have survived.
Oh yeah how then huh uh
Ahh, that famous "Quack, damn you."
I'm pretty sure these that they've put on RUclips are a different edit. And I love it! I know Adam has said that his jokes were butchered, so it's kinda nice to get these. I hope they put them all here, because it's practically impossible to watch on apps! Why? Why is it to hard? We can't even buy all of them!😕 Mythbusters is my favorite ever show♥️♥️♥️
Mythbusters YT channel just pulled their full-length episodes and put it all behind a paywall
@@SeanAubrey Dangit!😂 Well, at least it's still available...
28:19 😂😂😂
Two things that are really difficult to work with on film:
Kids and animals.
Basically my favourite show on Discovery
You should check out some spelling shows 😉
You can't convert a 15min tide time scale to 24hrs accurately, each hour is around 1minute 40 seconds,especially when you don't know if they waited to launch their raft. They also probably lied to the one person left behind, they also most likely drowned but proving it is near impossible.
20:25 - the duck quacks clearly echoing
The next 5 minutes - "but does the quack REALLY echo??????????"
RIP roy and bob🖤🦆
As i recall, some years ago a detainee at the old local jail somehow squeezed through a window and shinnied down several bedsheets, only to find that he was short, quite short…of the fifty feet required to reach the ground. I don’t remember how they rescued him, but he was brought back in intact and alive.
The next jail was formed of individual precast concrete room - each with a very narrow(!) window - bolted together as modular components. The view is comparatively poor; no longer looking out toward the river. No escape attempts noted yet. Get your sheets together; do not drop everything to escape!
I remember really liking the folklorist's insight. It's too bad Heather didn't stick around for the later parts of the show ( as far as I recall anyways, could be wrong on that )
"quack damn you" will never not be funny.
That “Alcatraz Historian” is so full of herself
anything to sell a few more crappy books.
I'm supposedly related to one (or more) of the escapees. I have relatives who believe that they made it to South America and one relative claims to have been interviewed by federal agents over alleged correspondence with them. None of those claims have been substantiated, and if they did survive I'm sure that's just the way they want it.
40:33 of course they're not going to put the mind control chips while you're watching them on camera! 🤦
Geez, the ducks are dirty
I think that they made it to freedom
Them guys went to Mexico 😂
The woman saying if they was swimming they would be in trouble but it does have the marathon
I don't think Alcatraz was that quiet when it was full of staff,guards and inmates. At night there had to be a lot of snoring,caughing...the guards might be having conversations...the humming of the heating system etc.
As for the chip thing...well let's just say that if the government did it, nobody would believe they did it because it's too "crazy". And that's why they don't even need to make up stories to hide it. Nobody believes it anyway even if you show them.
Sharks? Ain't no sharks in the bay.
I was watching some full episodes on the actual Mythbusters channel earlier and I tabbed out for two seconds, tabbed back in and suddenly the episodes all got taken down. I wonder if this will get the same fate.
The authorities would say that they drowned as they would not admit that someone escaped and was never caught.
They mailed a letter with a picture to the family from South America. Can't recall which country it was though?
They got away with it too
Wonder if the escape artist guy killed the other two so that's why nobody was caught. Or they hopped on a boat at SF harbor.
28:18 I've replayed that like 15 times lol
Jamie looks pissed after that.
Adam in a denim beret saying "yo what up, peace to your mother" was more offensive to black people than slavery
35:56 the same chip as used in PSX.
They used a raft to get to a waiting Boat.
Oldie but Goldie
The first seasons were the best they ever made. Later on the shoe was way to scripted.
For a second there, I thought the narrator said “Bob and Roy are….gay.” Not game. I was like, ummm…ok.😂 18:17
There is strategically a shortage of blood. They could pay people more to donate blood, but then it wouldn't be worth as much, and they would have to pay people more and more often
Apparently they have been confirmed to be in Brazil in the late 70s.
San Francisco Bay has fishing boats. Even today people are on boats in the Bay. Most likely they caught a boat.
So...Elon...about those chips...
32:41 $1.85 per gallon gas, in California no less 😭
We’ll never know if those were the real
Paddles nowadays they like to remake fake ones just to make us believe it’s the real thing OH STOP it 😂
Isn't there like a triathlon that starts on Alcatraz and you have to f****** swim from it to the mainland as the first segment
On the topic of giving blood
in the movie "Bruce almighty" Jennifer Aniston's character claims that they want her blood since she has a rare type (AB+)
now while it is true that it is a rare type, no one wants that blood donated. It is next to useless as you can ONLY GIVE to AB+... which is a rare type.
The blood most blood banks want is O=. Since that blood can be given to ANYONE.
Now it is true that mor eoften tha not tehy will try to use the same blood type, however if worse comes to worse they will use O-- (or O+ If you have a positive blood type)
Just a little tidbit. if you have O- and wish to help, donate.
Those two don`t like each other, that much is obvious…
"losing" a bag with papers of places you are "going to go" makes as much sense as telling other inmates you intend to head towards Angel Island.
I'm sure they didn't make it, because you know they would have had to brag about that shit when they were on their death beds, but I wouldn't be putting much faith in those papers either.
If they got as far as they did, they were clearly smart.
I mean, if they were in prison and managed to plan far enough ahead to plant fake evidence, they might also be smart enough to not tell anyone at any point. That, or they might have moved somewhere remote and disconnected, to where telling some random person they once escaped from prison would never reach the civilized world.
There's also the possibility that they died at some point in their lives from any number of things that caught them off guard, where they'd never have a chance to realize they were dying and tell anyone. Of course, there's also a good chance that they simply drowned, or caught an errant current that washed them far out to sea where they died of exposure.
I am not saying the stud finder thing is true but the guy would have went in without a camera crew and told them the story. Also if you escape why would you tell anyone.
You don't think any one of the men who pulled off the most famous jail break in history might feel a slight need to boast about it, even on their deathbeds? Let alone contact any of their family or friends after escaping?
@@allanshpeley4284 Family would get into trouble keeping a secret as well so no I wouldn't tell the authorities if my brother or son rang me up or wrote a letter.
@@allanshpeley4284 Everyone always assumes contacting family or friends is the natural thing to do, but quite a lot of people aren't close to their family and don't have a lot of friends, and particularly people who end up in prison tend to get distanced by their families even more so. While some escapees almost certainly contact loved ones, I'm willing to bet as often as not, the ones who escape through an actual plan like this end up avoiding contacting anyone they used to know because it's an unnecessary risk. The only reason they might is if they thought they could get something out of it to make their escape easier.
As for the deathbed thing, I'd wager most people don't see their deaths coming unless they die of long lasting sickness, so chances are good they'd never get the chance even if they wanted to. There's also of course the strong possibility that they'd have moved somewhere where even if they told someone, word would never get out to the rest of the world. I know if I escaped from the most secure prison, my first thought would be to make my way to another country far away with no extradition laws and even more ideally, where no one had a good means of communicating outside of whatever town I moved to.
Ambitious or not those ducks would be long dead by now.
whatever happened to heather in later seasons?
She got eaten by a lion.
didn’t they receive a letter a few years ago from one of the Anglin bros, saying the had made it to south America?
David vs. Goliath? No, those three convicts were not some underdog heroes people are rooting for.
No bodies, then they made it. It’s been proven that it could be done.
I reckon they made it.
everyone is thinking it and im just saying it... ... ... mike rowe being the voice for mythbusters... ... ...
The surest proof the prisoners never survived is that they were never seen again. These were men who wound up back in prison shortly after they got out over and over again. If they had made it they'd have gotten busted for something else after awhile.
If only they knew Neuralink would exists today
Poor duckies, this must've been stressful for them
Everyones gotta pull their own weight. 😅
Is that important?
It will remain a mystery for ever, because there is no way to prove
otherwise.
Or.........you could spin a coin and it might land on its edge!
