You guys don't know how great the past two weeks have been since I found out Mythbusters has full length episodes on youtube.
Yes, I agree. Finding Mythbusters on youtube has made my day alot better.
You can get them on dvd though.

Ok. No one asked, didn't know or cares.
I'm in high school again, at my father's for the weekend and watching all of the Mythbusters episodes that he recorded, and I have no pressing concerns.
2:50 😂😂😂😂😂
It is a gift to humanity that this show has been uploaded to RUclips. Not only does it make the show accessible, but it preserves this amazing show for years to come.
It's great to see it back.
Sure. Blessings from the owners that molest us with great sound quality that we, the products, deserve.
the narrator is locked in that room again poor guy
I love that this is now a running joke every episode
it wasnt till i went to the comments that i realised there was a narator, i thought he had the day off
they have him caged like the PIT joke on the Eric Andre Show
Well, at least we know that he is on the left side. So, we know which way to start looking for him.
Lactose intolerant. He's phoning it in from the l'eau.
Rest in peace Mr Imahara. Thank you for everything you did for child me and child everyone who grew up watching this on tv.
I read about how the military has instructions for tree-felling using C4, so I tried it a while back using 2 pounds of tannerite on a pine tree. It did absolutely nothing to it. After a bit of studying, I learned about the property of "brisance", or the crushing-power of an explosion. C4 is so useful because it has extremely high brisance, whereas ammonium nitrate has negligible brisance. It can't crush wood fibers, instead all it can do is push really hard really fast. I then recalled learning that on Mythbusters when I was a kid 😂
It be like that. So many random factoids you just know from somewhere and nowhere
been loving getting off work to a new reupload. hats off to whoever made this happen, this show is just as good as when i was a kid. maybe even better
40:17 Imagine if any vacationers heard that in the middle of the forest.
"Ah! This is the life! Peace and quiet for miles!"
Elsewhere... "FIRE IN THE HOLE!"
If they were foreigners they were probably think. What is wrong with these Americans.
A secret for you guys- switch your audio output to mono and the narrator will forcibly move to the middle 👍
It seems like the audio in general is borked, because the show in general is on mono, but the narrator is only on one.
I think it’s just not fixable without the raw audio, and all they have are broken audio versions.
@@cyber4053 I used a browser extension and it was fixed completely. Tweaks For RUclips changes it for Chrome.
Use an aux cord with 2 bands instead of 3 and plug it to any speaker or headphones
@@cyber4053 Heads up buddy, the show is not generally played back in mono audio. If you pull the audio into any free audio visualizer in the world, you'll see that the two channels have different audio running through them nearly all the time. Whether or not the audio is similar doesn't matter, any slight difference in audio from L to R channel means the audio is not mono.
"all they have are broken audio versions" " the show in general is on mono, but the narrator is only on one."
Please learn some basic audio engineering before talking out your ass and misinforming other less informed people.
You try to provide the most complicated possibilities yet fail to even think "hey, maybe they just had the right channel of audio turned off for the narrator's track when they mass exported all the episodes their computers could handle." Forgetting to unmute a track is literally the most common reason why audio is messed up in any production. Second to the mic guy on set forgetting to jack his mic into the camera when they were recording so it becomes an absolute nightmare to get VO's done.
How the heck you supposed to do that? RUclips doesn't give you audio options.
I like how youtube is turning more into cable TV but with adblock
It's like I'm watching a show and some guy is just sitting next to me describing shit
Yep, that is the narrator's job.
@@j.c.5480The narrator isn't supposed to be panned 100% to one side. Do keep up.
Grow up little boy and stop spewing immature disgusting filth like the C, S, or F-words in public! How pathetically unprofessional, disrespectful, uneducated, immoral, and Godless, thus anti-American.
So greatful you guys uploaded free episodes for us to watch. Im praying you guys upload more! I have wanted to rewatch episodes for so long, we need more please!
God damn, the bubble myth was fantastic. The way they try to test it on the medium scale and large scale was so simple but perfect. Love it.
Another episode of quality TV. Those were the golden days of broadcast tv
A myth I accidentally tested constantly as a kid, swimming over large air pipes/bubble in a large artificial beach and getting pushed upwards.
Mine was “will it crush?” Lived next to the train tracks
Tory making a Lonely Island reference... amazing
R.I.P Jessi and Grant.
Whoa, I didn't know about what happened to Jessi, that's nuts.
RIP
Yeah. You never know when it'll be our own time
thanks for reminding me😢
@@rocketamadeus3730
I’ve seen just about every early episode of Mythbusters and peripherally I think o was aware Grant wasn’t the only person involved with the production of Mythbusters to have passed but I can’t for the life of me bring to mind anyone named Jessi?...
Best tv show ever for free, I ain't complaining for sure
Remarkable! Science continues to push the boundaries of what we know.
This was my first real favorite TV show
The thing that I learned from this episode is that trees are strong
I used to work at a wastewater treatment plant and one of the first things we were taught was not to fall into the aerator tank because you won't be able to get out because of the bubbles. They even demonstrated with a mannequin tied with a rope so they didn't lose it. 😅
I couldn't help but wonder what results they might have had using det cord in a continuous slot instead of those bags of explosives. Love this show. Miss it too!
Another free episode of Mythbusters, and it isn't even my birthday.
This show was the bomb when I was growing up. ;) I feel like a kid again.
Catch the bubbles in your clothes. Thats actually taught in the Navy (specifically, you splash air into your uniform clothes to use for flotation.) They also have procedures for drowning in tonic, provided the tonic is mixed with gin.
That tree must have smelled amazing, Ponderosa smells like butterbeer
Adam's idea of reasonably clear water is very different from mine.
Same with his idea of a "snug fit". Little loose there bud... lol
The force of an explosive drops off by the inverse square law so if you moved the charge closer to the arrowhead it would make a big difference. Also a binary explosive might have the same force as a stick of dynamite but it doesn't have the impulse which is what cuts. Mythbusters made this mistake a few times, trading dynamite for black powder in the cement truck for instance, their explosives guy was not great.
Grant and explosives, it's like foreshadowing 😂
Jaime and Adam (and obviously the rest of the Mythbusters crew) are fantastic and I am so grateful for the years of education and entertainment. I grew up watching Mythbusters and seeing these grand experiments and trials on the TV and have fond memories. Thank you again Mythbusters.
Jessi and grant passed away.
@@adawg3032 I know. I hope they may rest in peace.
Adam has never looked nerdier than in SCUBA and a diving hood.
Best science show ever gets released for free. Everyone complains about the sound.
Im not complaining, im begging
Somewhere, Sydney Alford is smiling and thinking “I could split that tree in half with explosives”. -RIP Mr Alford, you were a real mad lad.
so many episodes i never knew existed and i watched it growing up all the time
“there’s not even a crack!” *camera cuts to a shot of a clear crack in the tree*
narrator is locked in my left ear
Oh my god the full episodes are on RUclips. God bless!
Jamie making the star trek reference made my day lmao 🤣
Mr. Beast: "I'm gonna plant a million trees!!!"
Mythbusters: "We're gonna need more explosives"
TV show vs. internet grifter is totally the same thing
In another universe, Grant became much like Adam in 30 years.
Awesome! I havent seen this episode!
finally, some good fucking food
More full episodes please
I miss Grant. Every time I see him on a video it breaks my heart. Dam brain anuresium. 😢😢😢
Dukes of Hazard with arrow and dynamite.
its about dam time they released the full episodes
Hey tip for everyone here. If you go in your phone settings and switch on Mono audio it fixes the narrator problem, and i don't even notice the lack of sterio saound.
Best show ever.
I think the audio is best described as 'outer body experience' once again...
its "out-of-body experience"
This is the kind of Alameda research I can get behind.
I'm surprised that my dad didn't think of doing this when clearing trees. 😅
I didn’t know this show was still happening! The nostalgia of watching this on tv when I was younger😊
It isn’t man, the rights to the show moved so all episodes are now being made public
I believe they should have started further up the tree. When you split wood you start at an end, not the middle.
My sleeping wife has become the narrator
Watching Grant and Jessi on these videos is watching those old timey movies with stars long gone
Trying to split a tree with explosives seems like an American past time
Jamie: "Swim harder!" 😝
9:05 - the arrow is intact? Same power as dynamite? Surely.
Robert, if you're gonna narrate the show you gotta be in the room with us
He's sitting right next to you.
Tory every time something blows up: "GOOD EXPLOSION"
used enough dynamite there Butch lol
Basically Testing the end of Godzilla: Minus One years in advance (minus not using Freon gas)
50 degrees hot water damn that sounds uncomfortable
It's "let's make like a tree and split."
“We are trying to see if you can swim in fizzy water! So we are going to see if we can swim in fizzy water!” Jamie.
Maybe was a dead tree, or the dad had already placed a hidden stick inside the tree that then ignited when he shot the first. Tree species also makes a difference!
I’m surprised they didn’t use det cord
I didn’t know about non-buoyant water when I originally saw this episode
If you want to fix the left ear narrator problem on windows, you can turn on mono audio in ease of access audio settings.
adam doesnt kick his feet when he swims
more boom is always more better.
Are these like remasters or something. Because the episodes that aired on TV the Announcer wasn't stuck in the left ear. Its almost like some intern got ahold of the RAW files and was told to make them into youtube videos but didn't know how to deal with mono audio in a stereo audio project...
oh, poor lefty is back
No trees where harmed in the making of this myth . . .
Linear sheap chrges wud have worked for the spling
They do directional blasts, it wouldn’t push the two halves of the tree apart
My theory is the uncle split the tree partly and used the wxploding arrow to finish it off to show off like a parlor trick. Or slight of hand.
If you had a pile of dry trunks and put it on the ends of the pile it would probably work. U can't split wet alive trees lol
They didn't test if the dynamite would blow on the impact of the bow shooting or the tree
This reminds me of the Vamp boss fight in Metal Gear Solid 2 where Vamp explains that the pool of water in the center of the room is hyper oxygenated and thus has no buoyancy meaning if you fall in you'll sink to the bottom like a stone and drown. Of course, Vamp is able to swim in the water because of exclusive rule breaking boss bullshit, AKA Nanomachines.
Honestly 1) i hate that the guy is in my left ear. 2) i dont think they took into account a live tree over a dead tree. Their first tests were of aged and cured wood. The wood with the moisture still in a live tree might make it more possible to split it.
I didn't know they still did this show
Grant could have said 'Let's make like a tree and split..." RIP
If you have the SoundFixer extension, you can switch to 'mono' to "fix" the narrator
I've seen someone do that before with a tree with a firecracker and it was because the tree had a crack within the inside it was an older tree taking consideration all the variables of the age of the tree and what it looks like from the outside even if it looks like it's solid on the outside there could be an inner lying crack
My solution for the audio is to use a single earbud. Not great but it works
I never heard anyone mention wedged shape charge. I could do this to a giant Redwood!
Should have used some soul sand for the bubbles
More bubbles!
I live in Maine and well were the pine tree state and if ppl were doing that and its a huge if nobody would be doing it with trees that thick cuz ud be using it for firewood. And I haven't seen it further so I'm commenting before results. But being in the pine tree state my whole life going on 45yrs I've never heard of anyone doing that. Were 85% woods here also
I demand the mythbusters return to the bubbles and do it more evenly dispersed causing less of a current but still filling the water with bubbles!
The bubbles in the water are the cause of the current
@@PsylomeAlpha yes but they are all concentrated, that is what is causing the current
I think it would be easier to swim through the bobblewater if the entirety of the pool had bubbles coming underneath. Because you wouldn't have the density differential.
they did NOT put those seedling far enough apart.
2:50
Sink or swim you got to give it a whirl…
The arrow with explosive myth would of worked if they would’ve just used some type of explosive that was directional and could of used way less
Would have been cool if they tried a shape charge for the tree. Like instead of a cone shape charge make it a wedge shape and that should easily then direct the charge like an axe through the tree. That would have been cool as hell!
We’d see this test in Godzilla minus one lmao.
are you telling me there was an actual reason they made minecraft magma blocks pull you down in water
I bet this episode pissed off a lot of tree huggers.
I have a feeling that uncle who split the trees used dead trees or something and didn't tell the kids they were already about to fall apart.
Any reason nearly all of the other episodes are stopped in the US? I was really enjoying watching these. I thought this was like THE channel? Is this just a fan thing?
