The camera man was like "it's my time to shiny on worldwide tv" then Jaime crushed his dream.
I'd like to see the camera man feel the towel snap on his butt
Basically just spread his ass cheeks for him on telly
That guy really wanted Jamie to whip him with the towel.
Wouldn’t you?
Don't judge his kinks.
Don’t we all?
He knew better than shaming this green youngblood on TV.
We're going to miss you guys.

+Mid-Atlantic Herping they finnished there last season this spring. I was a big fan along with many others and it's sad to see em go
What?!
NOOOOOO!
No way
Still waiting for Discovery to upload full epsiodes on RUclips. The internet is the future! The sooner you realize that, the better.
Really? I didn't know about that.
Change your apartment
Change the worrrld
Discovery is too busy making shitty shows popular to worry about old ones.
They are for free on the discovery channel website
l i n k
who else thought it was an ice block that was going to shatter
BrycePlays me
BrycePlays that’s not ice nitwit it’s ballistics gel
rosaura zapata im late but wtf are you saying, obviously they now know it's gel but before watching the vid they thought it was an iceblock
@@skya6863 yeah that sucker ruined the joke
Me
Is it true that a whip cracking snap sound is actually a tiny sonic boom caused by the speed of the end correcting itself on the backswing?
Yes
The whip was the first man made thing to break the sound barrier
Yep. Equestrian right here, ask me anything about horse equipment. By the way, we don't whip the horses with the whip, we hit the ground with the whip and the sound is what gets the horse's attention.
+Laurel Cook Thanks! I finally knowit now!
+Kenazzle Old comment, but if anyone is curious as to how it happens, the curve that travels through the whip as you flick it increases in speed exponentially as it travels down to the end of the whip, so that by the time the motion finishes at the end of the whip, the tip has reached faster than the speed of sound, allowing it to break the sound barrier.
0:27 Wrong video site.
Funny thing is, in Australia we have a mini Olympics where we use dry towels and try to flick each other it’s so much fun
is fun until someone use whip
It’s just a bunch of chefs.
Why Mythbusters had to end ? Why stopping something that is succesfull and still making money ?
Borislav Paraskov retirement
Borislav Paraskov You are aware that they filmed FULL TIME from season 1 all the way to the end. There were no breaks between seasons. They probably got burned out.
Everything good comes to an end. Both of these gentlemen want to move on and dedicate their lives to other things, rather than give the rest of their entire adulthood to the show.
Same with Phineas and Ferb.
Frederick Röders They were by no means friends, but they didn't hate each other. They just didn't work well together (and they both knew this), so they eventually decided to part ways
"a lot of us have experience in the shower, playing with a wet towel" tmi jamie
I'm sitting here naked outside my tub watching this while I should really be showering.
"Go for it" - Camera Man
As towel snap victim yeah it hurts, especially when you don't see it coming....
that guy was into getting wipped
why is it that the discovery youtube channel is the only one with compulsory 30 sec commercials on mobile devices??
mitsovios rex It's not. That's just some poor luck combined with confirmation bias.
mitsovios rex must just be you. I had no ad.

Man This Remind me of My Childhood This Shows from Discovery i always watched discovery and less cartoon's and now i miss those times so much😭❤️
In order for whip to be even stronger you should form a triangle by folding two corners towards middle. Now that you have somewhat of a triangle you need to roll it as tight as possible vertical to any of the sites (making this part of towel really thick while other is kind of loose) now take the towel by the wider side, you can grab the end of whip and stretch it a bit, but that is mostly it, towel whip as strong as it was leather
Copy that
At work, I did this to one of my coworkers and it drew blood. Pretty proud of that moment, but he called it quits after that. Now, there's no one left willing to have towel Wars with me.
Awesome dude 👍
Ahh, the physics behind all those years of whipping the shit out of each other in the Scouts with our neckerchiefs, lol.
Volunteer: I'll get whipped
Scientist: ok great thank you
**Whips him once**
**Volunteer whispers** :spank me harder daddy.
Scientist: what?
Volunteer: nothing. Continue.
I once popped a hole out of the middle of a lunch tray with a towel snap
have alot of us had experience in the shower with wet towels? Or is it just you jamey.
OwO
If you never used a towel as a whip you need to relive your childhood
Jacob no, that's just gay
Jacob We use the uniform scarf instead
I once did this with a full sized bath towel to a friend and it put a 3 inch long slice on his stomach
I find it easier just to use a knife, but to each their own.
That camera guy was READY.
child: Dad what do you do for a loving?
dad: 0:48
What was that block of water?
+SentinelPrimek it was ballistic gelatin.
thanks

+SentinelPrimek Minecraft Huh ?
Balistics gel
I can make homemade whips out of paranoid and sticks, it snaps pretty well to
Jamie: the tip of the towel went 120 mph
Imagine the tip of a wet towel going faster than your own car
i thought in the thumbnail he was gonna destroy a block of ice with a wet towel
Now this is quality content. Towel Snaps? Hell yeah 😎
Had a friend that really whipped me one time with a wet towel as hard as he can, I threw up from the pain. Since then I am a bit more sensitive and empathetic if it comes to the topic of whipping
Gosh that is one hell of a story
jamie has awkward jokes lol
Hay A That's why they're funny
Funny they don’t mention the fun physics behind the cracking noise: it’s the tip of the whip (or towel, no you’re a towel)
Breaking the sound barrier.
No one:
Smart kid in the boys locker room:
POV: I'm the smart kid
At my old restaurant job we had the best towels for snapping, my boss actually cut my leg with a snap and I was able to blow holes in boxes lol
A good whip can get the tail moving in the speed of sound and thats when you hear the whip sound.
Interestingly the end of the whip breaks the sound barrier before it's fully extended. Smarter Every Day has a video on it from about a year ago.
I remember being involved in some towel whipping wars in my pool unit for school. MAN, did some of those whips hurt.
I remember being so excited for every new episode
Nice. I use wet towels to get rid of pesky flies and any other bugs crawling/flying in my house. Can confirm wet towels are very effective for killing flies mid flight.
Yeah I remember doing this at my school
Had a friend do this to me in the balls after getting out of the pool, hurts like fracking heck.
oh that's why dad's belt hurts so much
We do that in my elementary and that really hurts
That's quite satisfying to watch
I like how there is a bucket in the back for "Knobs & Handles" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
lil things like this makes my everyday a lil easier reminds me that there is very interesting details about mundane things
I use this exact clip to demonstrate how to jab to my students . The shoulder becomes like a towel and whips at the knuckles
I don't know why my headphones were up so loud, but that intro scared the fuck out of me
Jamey came from long County in Georgia he was taught in the same school I am being taught in now
good old times
when I was playing water polo my teammates taught me how to fold a towel so it’ll essentially crack like a whip. the amount of bruises we all gave eachother 😭
These are things i needed to know.
People who really know how to do it can make it hurt pretty bad.
I miss this show I wish they brought it back! :D
Got one of these snaps in me eye once and it hurt
I never thought i needed to know that.
When I worked at a restaurant we used to battle with towel whips with the rags we cleaned the tables with. Sometimes you get such a nice crack that the tip of the rag where the folded seam is, frayed and got all torn up hahahaha. Good times
Best zombie apocalypse weapon
I miss these guys😞🙏🏼
In ms they folded the p.e shirts a certain way, and the tip would be folded a certain way that when wipped, it ripped skin.
No..., It's called 'critical damage'. But it does require 'critical rate' which is with proper technique you can increase the rate and achive the critical damage which in this case this equipment offers 3x the damage. But whip is better. Here's the equipment stat:
'Wet towel' Basic atk: 5, movement spd: 2%, Crit dmg: 3, fire resistant: 75%
'Bull whip' Basic atk: 78, long range dmg: 5%, stability: -40%, crit dmg: 5, physical penetration: 50%, element: pain
P.S Sorry I got bored because of quarentine 😐
The towel : *entering MACH 10
So when I say "I didn't even hit you that hard!"
And my bro says "Yeah! you did!"
So, we both telling the truth, the end of the towel is just going faster?😂
I remember when my classmate made a loud whip sound with a towel before
I am getting a nostalgic feeling.we used to hit each other with this in school.
We were playing with these. Whipping those legs or who makes the loudest whip sound in the class
Nobody at all: .........
Dudes in a high school locker room:
Thank you myth busters but please do a MUCH more in-depth analysis of this concept.
I want to see how much damage a towel whip can really do
Is one lethal to the temple?
Could it take an eye out?
I would support this being part of an entire episode of it already isn't
rawk4life93 but mythbusters already ended
My younger brother (now hopefully older and wiser) flicked his wife with a wet teatowel. For fun! Ha-hah, hilarious!
Hit her on the elbow, and something was rumptured inside. Nerve and tendon damage. Hospitalised. Repeat operations. Arm in a sling for months. Off work because of the pain.
It REALLY trashed her life for quite a long time.
She divorced him.
I was with her on this.
It could absolutely destroy an eye. I'm not sure if it could grab it and remove it, but I have drawn blood with a wet towel snap; a good 1 inch laceration. Brain damage, not physically, there isn't enough mass to have a concussive affect, but it could absolutely cause PTSD. So... Plausible?
@@GedMaybury23 That is insane! This definitely moves the towel whip up on the danger scale. Sorry to hear that happened and hopefully she recovered completely in the end.
today my coworker told me how to do it and its fairlysimple its all relaxed leap foreward a small backpull and boom chipped a piece of plastic at work
thanks jamie no more stay awake in bed at night thinking about that one
there was two twin freshman at the new school i went to one was named kody the other was kyle. one day in the locker room kody snapped me with a towel so as a senior I had to get revenge I rolled up that towel into a perfect rat tail and go the end wet and delivered a impressive towel snap to his ankle (I didn't want to hit him anywhere else and hurt him to bad.) He dropped to the floor and started crying well his brother did becuase I snapped the wrong twin.
HE SMILED
THE JAMIE *LAUGHED*
The tip of a stock whip goes faster than the speed of sound, that what makes the crack sound
My Favorite show on Cable channel.
A tightly rolled up towel hurts much more than just a loose towel or has some call it a towel sword.
But could you make a towel break the barrier of sound at the tip as the whip does?
Reminds me of highschool already
i just hit a spider with a towel going 120 mph
I was laying down at night in my bed with it on full volume without knowing and clicked on this video and instantly regretted it Hahaha
A lot of kinetic energy focused on a very small area.
Thumbnail looks like he's a dj about to drop the beat
i want to hug that block of jelly
What happens when the teacher leaves and everyone’s in the locker room,
Now i can cry proudly telling that whipping a wet towel is hurt
Jimmy and adam u guys are awesomeeee!!!!
Wow just like a whip!
So a towel snap does not break the sound barrier, but a whip does?
bcumike yes a whip is longer
The thumbnail should be album art
We used to roll the blankets in a way at the summer camp and then wet only the edges,fter that,bloody backs
In Elementary school we used to have fun with a wet towel and crying in the end.
Next up, a pillowcase full of pennies. Any volunteers?
Idk why I started cracking up when I saw this on my recommended
I miss you guys
So next time you run to coach and you say, "he threw a towel at me at 120 mph and I now have this welt on my thigh."
So what if you're pulling people behind a boat and take a pretty sharp turn, does that mean theyre going at least twice the speed if they're being swung behind the boat.. cuz I've done this and it feels like you're literally getting slung!
It's like getting hit by a bullet but the bullet goes back right away just after hitting you
So awesome! I think whips can safely be the new magnets haha
What the heck, I was just popping my brother with a wet towel and this was recommended
Test it with a thinner handkerchief. It will hurt A LOT more when wet.
Getting hit by a wet towel or rag after taking a shower or getting out the pool is a death sentence.
