Just for the record: I would still be watching mythbusters now if you and Jamie were still making it.

I have a question: When you began with Tested it was you AND Jamie. When, how and why was it decided that it would be just you and not you and Jammie?

[@kylehill]

You need to understand how obsessed with safety MythBusters was. When I worked with the original crew, we would do things like leave the building if someone was testing something as benign as a spud gun. I was never worried. Other shows are VERY different. You can see shows on cable today that look far more dangerous.

[@Naim_less]

[@Robert-ty3qi]

I remember when Adam burned off most of his hair

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

7:17 The reason why Australia had such long program times for MythBusters. Is because it was shown on SBS which is kinda like PBS in the US. & they have a policy against excessive advertising. They *KNOW* people are there for the shows & *NOT* the advertising. So they give their customers *EXACTLY* what they want - more TV & less advertising. Love to Everyone here & at Tested from Australia. ❤🇦🇺

The editing of Mythbusters is a meme at this point. Remember that "Mythbusters truck crash test wait for it" meme? There's even a subreddit for Streamlined Mythbusters edits that has went back and reedited the entire show to focus on content than that constant low-attention span context-switching that the official Mythbusters show always does.

[@williambryant6175]

My all time fav Adam quote is ‘Am I missing . . . an eyebrow?!?’ I don’t know why, maybe it’s the backstory of what he did later that night, maybe it’s the smoke alarm going off in the background, I dunno, but it still makes me chuckle all these years later

[@bobdole4916]

That clip was part of the opening credits for a good while, so that's also going to help it stick.

[@NoriMori1992]

I always loved hearing that in the opening credits. And the full scene is just as funny, but in a different way, where someone replies "Yes", and all the humour leaves Adam's face as he goes "Oh, f***, really?"

As far as Mythbusters succeeding today (and I think I'm paraphrasing something Adam's given attention to in another one of these) it's not just the small crew that's moved to KZbin but the idea behind Mythbusters of finding ways to test things out. Tod Cutler and some acquaintances made a longbow and armor as accurately as they could (making a point of what they didn't know and error bars) to test the Agincourt legends to see if they were even in the right ballpark. Steve Mould had an idea of how to make 2D liquid models and demonstrate how siphons and other unintuitive devices work, that just became his "thing" for a while because once you have the method and tools why not? Veritasium had Adam drop pennies on him out of a helicopter. And that's just the first few that come to mind. Some people are experts in their craft, some are playing around with a 3D printer and as astounded as the viewers that it worked. Sometimes it's their whole focus, sometimes it's just to illustrate one concept. Either way, the "this is what the math says, but let's see if we can get something we can point to" idea of Mythbusters is going strong.

[@sunsetfoxx]

I grew up watching myth busters since I was a little child. This show was one of the most important shows for me to watch. I would watch two cool science guys talk about the coolest projects, theories, and with lots of action and hilarious moments that made me smile. Despite being horribly bullied when I was young, your show reminded me that when I grow up I’ll be free of my classmates nasty and toxic comments/behaviour. Your show also remind me there’s going to be freedom when I grow up, and I too can focus on creating something I’m super passioned about. Thank you so much for all amazing memories. Your show has left a tremendous amount of interest for me in sciences. Despite not finishing school because of the bullying trauma, I’m a better person today with an enormous passion and interest in science. 🙏♥️🌻🧙‍♀️

[@M_Lopez_3D_Artist]

If only it wasn't the case to be bullied in the first place in school it still seems like its common place and i think we all deal with that as were older too, but we can choose to get out of it when were older, where as school you feel stuck and can't get out of it unless you change schools its hard, something maybe the future we can do school more online for people who deal with that as a solution maybe, options for that is always good i think.

Given your estimation of when viewership dropped, I must apologize. I graduated HS in 2008, so 2009-2011 was college, and I stopped watching basically all TV at that point. It was all VHS, DVD, and video games at that point. No, kids, we couldn't stream yet. We pirated quite a bit though.

[@LG123ABC]

I graduated HS in 1981 and once I got my first DVR I stopped watching "live TV" altogether. Nothing like zipping right through all those commercials!

[@bobdole4916]

There's actually a lot of stuff on KZbin that's definitely inspired by, or at least adjacent to, Mythbusters. Mark Rober, Smarter Every Day, The Slow Mo Guys, Colin Furze, and probably tons more that I don't know (but wouldn't mind hearing about). The spirit of Mythbusters is alive and well, it's just not going by the same name.

[@Guardian_Arias]

I love taking the time to come up with worse case scenarios even mid process in my shop. Contrary to my parents beliefs I learned this skill of theorycrafting by playing RPGs and coming up with a way to deal with the worst case scenario counters to my character or play style.

[@ArcaneWolf9]

Not just Adam that moved online from Mythbusters. Mythbusters' success and the focus it drew helped to blow open a door that was just opening at that time. Adam was right, it rode a cultural moment and was lucky in that. But its success also built potential energy for something to follow it. It became (in a way) one of the early examples of a new 'genre' given fertile ground to grow by online resources. The online space now has TONNES of content creators who can take a renegade team and make things to test ideas, techniques, and tech. There are people making some outstanding replicas and stunningly beautiful original art. Sword makers, painters, glass blowers, designers, jewelers, mechanics, cosplayers. Makers and artists whose content and stories have become as much art as their products. People who can make the whole world their workspace, or show you an entire world on their workbench. We became the creators, and consume each others creations. That's fascinating. And I think Mythbusters was at least a seed in that.

[@WalnutandSteel]

The popularity of Mythbusters probably declined as kids that grew up on Mythbusters moved out of their parent's house and didn't get cable (I am one of those kids).

“The solution is to stop telling them” lololol It reminds me of soldiers at war, calling home. It never goes well when they start telling them about the horrors they’ve seen.

[@PikkaBird]

I think a factor in why Mythbusters wouldn't be as popular today (or wouldn't even be attempted) is that there's much more of that kind of stuff around, mainly here on KZbin. However, I believe these circumstances came about exactly BECAUSE of Mythbusters. Before they blasted their way into everybody's minds and hearts I don't think I saw anything like it - that is, relatable people dorking out over nitty-gritty details and using popular and (somewhat) approachable scientific and mechanical approaches to dig into the topic in a highly entertaining format. They planted the seed of passion in many young viewers and some of those grew up to create the KZbin channels that I assume most of the Tested audience also watch. So yeah, if Mythbusters came around right now it might have a hard time carving out its own niche in the current market, but at the same time if it was made today for the first time then I don't believe this market would be the way it was. If my analysis of the current landscape is anything close to correct then it's something like a chicken/egg kind of situation.

[@RobertFisher1969]

For quite a long time now, the most minutes of video shown on my TV are from KZbin. So, it always amuses me when someone speaks about TV and KZbin as if they are different things. (Especially since I’m usually older than the speaker.) And most of the shows I watch today are more like Mythbusters than most of the stuff I watched on old-school TV.

At any point while I'm typing this a meteor could land on my head, but...that and everything else like it is in a box of "no factor".

[@standardoil-b8u]

You're quite the post structuralist, Adam! Machines and flows.

[@JacknVictor]

Hi Adam,I don't think the drop in viewer figures was because it was becoming unpopular, it was more likely the fact that by 2011, viewers were still watching but getting their fix via the internet/streaming/torrenting etc, simply because you could download it and watch at your own convenience. So it probably still had those 2 million + viewers, maybe more, but it just didn't show up in the viewing figures because people were viewing it how most stuff is viewed nowadays. I very rarely watch cable/terrestrial TV any more. KZbin Netflix streaming and even torrenting. I've still got thousands of dvds but I've packed them away and it's quicker for me to download a copy of those movies than it is to root through endless boxes of dvds to find the movie I want to watch (more of a convenience thing thab laziness as I'm now in a wheelchair after an amputation caused by COVID-19) and I will admit, that I downloaded mythbusters as soon as it had been wired in the US because I'm in England and didn't want to wait a week or two for it to be aired on TV over here, and I know thousands of others did that aswell Me and my wife live watching your work on these videos and can see the hard work that you and your team out in to the channel. Keep up the good Work it's much appreciated! I'm even going to use your video of the Chewbacca bandolier as a basis for a replacement for my 20" Chewbacca figure that has lost its bandolier. I'm not as active as I used to be for health reasons but I still consider myself a maker and do what I can when I can and it's guys like you that inspire people like me to keep a hand in and build stuff. I'm even building my own back yard workshop, it's only 11ft x 15ft but it's big enough for me, for my tools and for storage, and I can display the finished items in my bungalow, and swap them out every now and then when I build something new.i might not have the precision you have or the experience or amazing tools but I'm very proud of what I build, whether it's my (Totally bit screen accurate)l R2D2 i built 20+ years ago , or the life size battle damaged Terminator 2 'Arnue" that I'm in the process of starting (gathering parts at the minute, building it once my workshop is set up!). The only down side in Britain is building if prop weapons as the law is you are not allowed to produce anything that could be misconstrued as a real weapon - even fantasy guns etc. But to be honest I've never heard of anyone prosecuted for make Ng film gun replicas, and I'm looking forward to making my own hellboy and star wars replica guns. They won't be visible anywhere other than a display cabinet in my own house so hopefully there will be no issues! Thank you for inspiring us all. All your fans and viewers appreciate everything you do! Once again, Thank you.

[@MLife1972]

It's interesting to hear Adam mention the drop off in viewers after 8 years. For me, I probably stopped watching about that time too and it was down to one thing. For some reason Kari, Tori, Grant and Adam seemed to be super-pumped about everything. I got tired of the high-fives, whooping and hollering. As an extreme introvert, I felt like it was a party I was no longer invited to. Even Jamie seemed to be more in the background and I kind of liked his zen energy to balance out the others. If I had a subscription, I'd ask if the extra energy was genuine or whether it was pressure from Discovery or if they were trying to compensate for some of the myths being less about testing myths and more about spectacle.
