It's better if you tune in about ten minutes in so you don't know what they're making.

I just want the soundtrack. I will mix it with current day porn and feel like the 80's are back.

Me too! And I have, when there is a marathon on.......I love how random it is. Next up: toilet seats, airplane interiors, golden statues of tyrannical political figures, and scissors.

The show relaxes me. It's the guy's voice! I love it, it's like he's Mr. Roger's bastard child or something.

It is my firm belief that if I were able to keep a complete library of this show and a couple devices to play the media after an apocalyptic event, we would have a ridiculous head start on rebuilding.

I love how random the items being made on the show are. "Tonight on 'How It's Made': Mustard, violins, nuts and bolts, and toilet paper."

don't worry, the science channel lets you watch it for many days straight.

Love the show, but the only thing I don't like is the lame puns the narrator makes. "Making combs is a hair-raising experience!" and shit like that.

Fave show of mine as well. One the of the few shows were you can learn more in the reruns.

I love the robo-porn music they play in the background. Also when they slow down the process of whatever they're making, it hypnotizes me.

DoctorThunder · 1 year

It's the best parts of the Mister Rodgers' shows.

macinmypocket · 1 year

I have watched that show all day long. I really enjoy when they do 24-48 hour marathons. It's also interesting that I get fascinated by the creation of objects that don't otherwise interest me.

Here's my How it's Made drinking game:

As soon as the episode starts, start the stopwatch. You have 60 seconds to come up with three words that your opponent must drink to.

I came up with "press" "dry" and "worker" and my wife was sloshed before the end of the episode.

Also, if there is a part of the process they cannot show you because of proprietary reasons, you must shotgun one beer.

My bf and I get a little high and put it on just before we fall asleep. Best thing ever. So mellow AND educational. I swear if the world goes tits up, I'll know how to make more stuff than anyone due to this show.

I find it funny they always describe the people who work on stuff as, "the workers"

I know its proper term and all but it just sounds funny to me

I could too, if they didn't repeat the same 4 episodes over and over all day

They should do a meta-how it's made

Yesterdays_Fish · 1 year

On certain holidays when there's a marathon on, I DO watch it all day long.

[deleted] · 1 year

Have they ever done an episode where they show how an episode of How It's Made is made?

hairyassandballs · 1 year

I agree, and I have watched it all day. Got my mom hooked as well.

It's like visual dopamine for humans.

AtomicSamuraiCyborg · 1 year

My favorite was the episode where they showed an armorer making a suit of plate mail. I'm not kidding. Suits sell $3000 to $20,000. Ultimate job. I wish I could do that...

I'm watching it right now. They're making violins.

Around my house it's called How Naps Are Made. Something about the soporific resemblance to those films Mister Rogers would show on picture picture makes us all snooze.

Not sure if it was for Last Christmas or New Year...One of the channels had it running all day long!!! What a wonderful day it was.

You can. It is pretty much on all day long every day.

fincheresque · 1 year

So, I've got a mythtv PC PVR thing-a-majig upstairs, and I set this to record one day... it's on SO MANY TIMES A DAY. It takes up WAY more space than every single other show I record. And only half the time it's in HD.

I'll browse through them and think, "why would I want to watch buttons being made", then start he episode, and realize... holy shit... buttons being made is AWESOME.

Nope...not sure about the grammar in this post...not sure at all.

I dont know what it is because this show truly sucks but I enjoy it soooo much.

SteveTheSultan · 1 year

As long as its with the original narrator. They had one for a year that stunk but then they brought the original back. Best one ever is how they make springs. I could watch that one over and over. How they do that is a cheap knock off.

My favorite is the one where they make the ice cream cake for christmas. It has a scene of adding the ice cream swirly frosting that is to die for. foodporn.

My wife falls asleep while watching this show, but she says it's great to watch while she's working out. Keeps her mind occupied, but doesn't require much concentration.

I can watch as long as they're making something interesting

I could not give a fuck how they make a hose

I like the little animations that are just a single line, that draws out a scene related to the thing being made, and then the colors fill in. Always wondered how that's done.

Ok, grammar nazi time:

The writers need to change the way they write the narrative. The way it's written currently is like this: "Then, they pour the hot liquid into the mould."

In my opinion, it should be written as "Then, the hot liquid is poured into the mould."

Using "they" gives it this strange, unidentified third-person perspective. Feels weird to me.

Grammar nazi time over.
