            I felt bad on that myth, I mean they took candy from babies for like 15 minutes

            And that was one of the tools they attributed to babies in the end.

            [–]LookLikeJesus 59 points60 points ago

            What's the myth? "it's really hard to take candy from a baby?" We don't need to play out the drama on this one folks, pretty sure a baby's hands are no match for an adult's. Next?

            [–]falconear 72 points73 points ago

            It was a little better than that. As I recall they hooked pressure sensors up to the real baby's hand and figured out just how much force it took. It took a lot more than you'd expect.

            [–]patmcdoughnut 114 points115 points ago

            And then they blew it up

            [–]Lluuiiggii 8 points9 points ago

            They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for ideas.

            [–]THESHEEMED 2 points3 points ago

            it took about 3lbs of force to take the sucker from the babies grip, wasn't really that amazing

            [–]keiyakins 1 point2 points ago

            But the keepaway and shame-inducing were pretty effective.

              Not that long ago I was feeding my son some puréed squash at the restaurant where I work. He tends to grab the spoon to help the person feeding him get that yummy squash into his chubby mouth as quick as possible. That, and, babies love grabbing onto things.

              Anyway, I was trying to get the spoon out of his hands so I could feed him some more squash. The little shit would not let go. I was pulling so hard that I was lifting him out of the highchair. It finally ripped out of his hands, sending baby food onto the ceiling and wall that was probably 9 feet away. He dropped maybe two inches back into his seat.

              He was a little mad, but got over it quickly when he saw that more squash was ready for him. He was just over 5 months at the time. Sometimes, not as easy as you would think to take something from an infant if they really want it.

              [–]SilverChaos 18 points19 points ago

              I missed the food part of that sentence the first time around...

                I think they ran out of ideas more than a year ago. Worse yet their experiments get less relevant every time. Blue Ice is the last one that really seemed to work out a problem all the way through.

                As long as Hollywood keeps churning out stupid action movies, MythBusters will never run out of ideas.

                I remember when the Sci-Fi Channel made series like The Invisible Man and Farscape. For fuck's sake, every couple of episodes of Farscape would be devoted to a hostile STD that somebody contracted. You just don't see outside-the-box shows like that anymore. Not on SyFy anyway.

                Jurassic Park came out almost 20 years ago, in 1993. Feel the burn. I remember seeing it in the theatre like it was yesterday. I hate feeling old based on something inane like a movie premier.

                  I thought they were rebooting because the last 2 weren't all that great, like the reasoning for why they did another Hulk only 4 years apart I think it was.

                  I think our real evidence is the superman and batman series.

                  [–]Eurynom0s 2 points3 points ago

                  I'm pretty sure they're just rebooting because they need to make at least one Spiderman movie at least once every [x] number of years to keep the license.

                      When Mythbusters came out, there was a BUNCH of shows and specials that were centered around myths, urban legends and old wives tales. This was the only one that was entertaining enough to stick around. I feel so fucking old because I remember a time when there was Mythbusters and most phones didn't have buttons...but then I remember I'm not old, and I have my whole life ahead of me and haven't ruined my dreams by having children...brb, going to climb a mountain because I can.

                          Agreed. I miss when it was just them sitting in a room and sort of discussing the myth, very naturally. Rather than scripted and filled with lame puns.

                          Exact reason I can't watch the show anymore. I used to watch it all the time in college, it was very relevant to my interests. But now even the thought of it makes me cringe at how uncomfortable they all are on camera and how they had to make it into a SHOW instead of just documenting these cool science guys doing science.

                          Hollywood just doesn't know how to let the content speak for itself anymore.

                          The only episodes I've ever watched have been terrible pieces of shit discussing myths that nobody cares about and entirely catered to 12 year old boys. The earlier seasons sound a lot better, shame I missed them.

                              Don't forget Kari.

                              If they made a show where it was just her doing stupid pseudoscience, I'd watch it.

                              From the description: "Is there any way to make MythBusters even cooler? Yeah, there is: More Kari!"

                              Well they got something right.

                              Also makes Mythbusters commercial free. Headrush segments replace commercials.

                              I was looking for someone to say this. I absolutely loved Mythbusters when it first came out. Then they had to ruin it with the hot, young cast. Seriously, as much as I find Kari to be attractive, there's no reason they should have added her to the program, since she has a film and sculpture degree. Hell, Tory has a film degree too. Grant, on the other hand, is fine with me because he has an electrical engineering degree and actually knows what the fuck he's talking about.

                              I hate how they strip the science from the show. Every time they calculate bullet velocity they hide the equations and every time they cook up thermite, they act like it's some top secret mixture (anyone ever heard of the Internet?). This is turning into another SmashLAB (and if you've never heard of SmashLAB, consider yourself lucky).

                              Adam and Jamie would have never shot a cannon ball into a residential neighborhood. But, that's the least you can expect from guys who have extensive backgrounds in science.

                              [–]Lexecutioner 1 point2 points ago

                              I agree with having Grant on the show, too. He knows his stuff.

                              Simply put, Discovery and History channel are dumbing themselves down for the masses; how much longer are shows like Ancient Aliens and all the shows like Deadliest Catch going to be on air? There's too many shows out there that just don't have any real educational value either from the beginning or after a couple episodes.

                                I thought it was always like that, in that it follows the TV formula of 5 minutes of content heavily padded to fill 22 minutes. Loved where they were going with things, just couldn't handle the music, narrator, oh look a piece of ass!, commercial, etc. There's plenty of potential content (go into more detail ffs), they just chose the low road.

                                I'll try some early stuff though. I may have just caught an especially bad episode.

                                Discovery, Animal Planet and Nat Geo etc. have all gone to shit.

                                Filled with reality shows and action commentary animal footage. Disgusting.

                                Even BBC is moving in this direction lately.

                                Curiosity had quite a bit of potential. Shame that only a few episodes were actually interesting. Hopefully the next season will be a bit meatier.

                                I rarely turn on any of those channels now. I just go online and look for relevant stuff. Anything with Attenborough attached also gets an auto play.

                                Well the show has been on for 10 seasons and 209 episodes. They used to do three or more myths in an episode and now they are down to two only. The show is dragging on now simply because they are running low on good myths.

                                [–]Sweaterking 3 points4 points ago

                                I used to really enjoy when they would actually go to a junkyard and buy whatever random items they would need for the experiment. Also when they bought cars to destroy.

                                I have to agree the filler is incredibly annoying. Some episodes that are really boring just make you sit through an hour of programming to just see some unamazing result.

                                    It's from Courage the Cowardly Dog.
                                    The episode is titled "Perfect"
                                    The scene was from him having nightmares after failing at being perfect.

                                    See I think its actually good that they show kids not to be scared of not being perfect, on the flip side I think that idea would fuck with adults a lot more.

                                      This season has been really strange, less actual myths, just blowing stuff up without showing how they make it and less traditional mythbuster process.

                                      the process of them making things was my favourite thing about the show, and definitely played a huge part in me deciding to pursue an engineering degree. now they always cut straight to the finished product without showing any of the problems solving or anything leading to it, which is such a shame because I don't think it's nearly the spokesperson for science and engineering that it used to be.

                                        The idea of a pregnant ex-fiance kinda gives the story a dark overtone, though.

                                        So I award it zero hahs.

                                        What episode is this. I must view it now.

                                        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEmahvffdDg I had to find the video too. Edit: watched it and it only had a normal size baby.

                                        the look on the babies face made me a bit sad.

                                          Actually that's pretty much how I remember it.

                                          I distinctly remember watching this part of the episode thinking "this would be the most successful gif"

                                          I don't get the downvotes here. If anyone actually went to the subreddit and looked at their links, they don't work. There is a piratebay link for a torrent, but other than that the subreddit has NO playable videos of shortened mythbusters episodes. I understand respecting the community, but what the poster said was not wrong in any way.

                                            The first time I saw that episode, I started laughing hysterically when he broke the bottle on his head

                                            I am in the exact wrong state to rationally process that imagery.

                                            Show is absolute shit now. First 3-4 seasons were pretty good, some good experiments and interesting conclusions. Adam is basically unwatchable now, stupid accents and such and basically just a complete ass. Kari, Grant and Tory scream like hyper 4 year olds any time something explodes, and their interactions are terrible.

                                            It's basically the best niche that video content that simple and short has. There's no physical reason you can't make a gif fill the screen and be an hour long if you like, but if someone has a video that long and want to share it, they typically don't think "gif!", they think "Youtube!". Now you might be thinking "Okay, if it's only a few seconds long then I guess that makes sense, but why make it so small?" Hah, good point. Convention, mainly. It's what people expect from gifs, so their makers are happy to oblige. Also small files load faster.

                                              You don't remember Adam acting like a goof ball with weird props? I'm pretty sure that's how it's always been since the start.

                                              It's like the big babies from Nothing But Trouble. Awesome 80's movie.
