[@Tjescoo]

These earliest episodes are golden - literally!

[@agnieszkaadamkiewicz4747]

imagine -cameo in Mythbusters :)

[@borntoclimb7116]

True but i love the later Seasons more

[@greatveemon2]

i could feel their little awkwardness to the camera and each other compare to later seasons.

[@Disinterested1]

I love the part where Jamie calmly tells the delivery guy they plan to fly a chair with it :) he really is a national treasure as indeed is Adam

[@agnieszkaadamkiewicz4747]

"how high are you gonna filght? don't know, not very high" :D

[@mocko69]

Omg these first episodes are golden. Everybody looks chill, and those early 2000' shots and editing are just hilarious.

[@loggior.speedweed4345]

There it is! The first out of three pilot episodes, with all the fighting and everything.

[@DevilishmanThe]

These early episodes show the reactions of people to the outlandish shopping sprees of the mythbusters. Wish they kept that in the future episodes.

[@Trialwolf]

Doubt it would have the same affect. Once the show became popular people became quite eager to assist and provide equipment and materials so that shock was gone.

[@AeonLibertas]

@@Trialwolf The shopping for parts part would still be cool. It's a bit like picking the guys (especially Jamie's, let's be honest) mind to see what this crazy man could potentially come up with from supposed junk and scrap. Especially a Before-After shot would be ... golden. (sorry, had to)

[@Trialwolf]

@@AeonLibertas True, acquiring the items in the early episodes was fun to watch as they struggled. One episode it was almost impossible to get a pigs stomach with the intestines and such still attached, when they did finally find someone it was done unanimously to protect themselves. A few seasons later when they needed another one they could just walk into a place and get it with none of the issues they had in the past due to there celebrity status.

[@salvadorsempere1701]

It´s anyone else playing the game of "spotting Kari in the background"?

[@CarlosPCmx]

I love to see her helping out.

[@blogdogs9462]

i love how they try to cut cost on everything in these earlier episodes

[@ADwarvenBard]

Usually I’m at least a little stoned when I watch Mythbusters. But watching this episode totally sober, I’m still giggling the whole way through!

[@DanVogt]

Best mix ever 🤙 MythBusters and Devils Lettuce are made for each other

[@ReubenAStern]

Savage searching for a lawn chair reminds me of my indie filmmaking days. There's always that guy. "Hmm... we could do with a..." "I'll find one and nick it!!" Next thing you know you're climbing all over everything and breaking and entering several properties.

[@Omanjack]

I love it especially because they go on to spend thousands of dollars on the helium.

[@derGameplayDJ]

23:41 They call that poppy seed cake??😂 You can barely see the seeds!😅

[@mrclean4729]

Love the fact that Sears refused basically free advertisement of their store. Worked so well for them in the long run!

[@ichiroutakashima4503]

That legendary episode that traumatized one medic for life and brought enough laughter for the fans, lmao

[@alaric_]

Banjo is strong with this one!

[@zaizoesclashing7103]

FLy me with Balloons..... ❤ RIP Eric The Actor, aka ETM

[@TORTLESSS]

its actually fuckin insane adam did this without any safety backup, he must have really wanted mythbusters to succeed to have even conceived of doing this

[@q1337]

22:32 I find it slightly worrying that the test expert has in my opinion abnormally enlarged pupils while you can see a studio light reflection on them while talking about substances haha

[@JohanDuck]

This shows that Goldfinger was a classic bond villain with way too much time on his hands

[@jzapien1377]

22:27 someone should have tested this guy

[@Shizzle_My_Nizzle]

The first episodes were very charming, like a behind the scenes feature. I don't like the "professional" look of the latest seasons. The reaction from the called are gold

[@user-dj3nq8ty1o]

The opening and a sentence i never thought i would exist

[@FluffyBlueCow]

Is that Cary Byron helping out with the chair?

[@tylerbailey9329]

This and the death ray; I don't think Jamie fears death

[@f.b.l.9813]

can't believe they let Adam fly on a lawn chair and balloons... man! these old Mythbusters episodes were really crazy, drastically different safety standards than the newer episodes

[@waffleMccoy]

"I know you like looking through dumpsters" lmao

[@danmurphy4287]

Adrianna Nicole at 33:54 is an absolutely wild Mythbusters moment

[@ft3917]

how much was the acceleration on the way down? how fast would he hit the planet if he was high in the air ?i guess it was faster than from 100 feet

[@RevilHermes]

They could test Dr Kent :D Big eyes.

[@olgabukaa8530]

that poppy seed thing was interesting. But this means that probably the majority of my country's population would test positive around Easter / Christmas as we often eat a cake that is at least 50% poppy seed (it's delicious BTW) :)

[@wingerding]

It happened to me and 4 years later is still ruining my life and lead to the death of my good friend because that day it happened he had to work alone rather than with a partner. Broke my faith the whole thing...

[@memecat57]

​@@wingerding I know I'll never fix your survivors guilt but it's not your fault and you did what you could

[@davidicke2415]

47:49 Puppet jumpscare

[@kim98677]

Adamm actually looks zonked after that cake 😂

[@Mngalahad]

4:40 well glad that speaks very well about sears

[@ryanbuckley3314]

110 for Jamie at filming probably isn't good, but I think there were some psychological factors at play in that environment. They were looking out for Jamies safety, so it's all very understandable.

[@jaydaniel9085]

If I remember correctly when they revisited the myth, Jamie had naturally higher blood pressure or like a high blood pressure condition.

[@vantablack4666]

11:44 that reaction lmao

[@MWSCologne]

Lawn chair is one of the best stories! And the guy looks sooo boring - but is such a badass!

[@RekkGaming]

The newer episodes are good, But dont compare to these early episodes

[@riggles]

Man the music was way WAY nicer in these early episodes. It all became so sterile quick.

[@mrclean4729]

Well it's definitely more organic, but less professional and "Hollywoody" . The later theme fits way more with how the show evolved due to the success it had.

[@petrolhead982]

They got Sheerman&Tiger tank parts stored!

[@XenoLife]

Where ? When ?!?!?

[@borntoclimb7116]

The balloon test was awesome

[@Pedro-tl7jg]

i like watching them do the math for the money they have to spend

[@kim98677]

Unbelievable that this was greenlit 😂😂

[@sirjohnmandeville7488]

I think they just liked a little bit of the brown stuff at Mythbusters 😉

[@TabJH]

❤❤

[@timelord8049]

Watching this and all I can think about are the poor beggers i would see when I was living in indonesia, there were guys that would paint themselves silver and stand in traffic going from bike to bike asking for money. They would spend all day in the sun

[@lowe_sa2976]

It reflects sunlight maybe that helps

[@pahom2]

How can a Larry Walter balloon flight be a myth if we have a video of the flight here on youtube?

[@Garoninja]

This episode aired before KZbin was a thing

[@mrclean4729]

Hahaha ​@@Garoninja

[@pahom2]

@@Garoninja pretty sure the video was available back then

[@CephasTheWanderer]

Are these episodes licensed?

[@MarcosSantos-jb8qb]

Yup

[@_J.F_]

I think Adam might have misunderstood something if he thinks he can cough up urine 😂

[@Itsmytest]

These are the episodes I remember watching after work. I dialed out pretty quickly once they added the other three. I hope Elaine didn't down-vote this clip.

[@monstrositylabs]

I was walking in the middle of nowhere once through fields that we used to own, where you would never see anyone. On this day two gold painted fully naked people strolled by, it was very surreal

[@krokodil191]

It was so nice to see young Kari :)

[@alanrose4827]

Some people are allergic to Latex.

[@JohnJackson-mn4ts]

Peeling that latex off would have really cleaned his pores out. Blackhead buster.

[@SiNFPVGUAM]

44:00 you see them gold skibbies? Id feel weird too.. lol

[@aaaabababa]

thats cary at 18:05, right?

[@RezSkel]

no but it could be Kari....

[@Shizzle_My_Nizzle]

@@RezSkel It's definitely Kari. This was the pilot-episode 3/3. Kari appeared the first time in pilot-episode 2/3, when they tested the air-toilet myth. You can clearly see her in there with red Hair (and her bum) 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppm8cn9uibmUj8U

[@RezSkel]

@@Shizzle_My_Nizzle I'm certain it is Kari. It ain't cary

[@Not-TheOne]

Is that Kari in the background smiling @18:06

[@wingerding]

5 years later im still suffering the repercussions of a false positive drug test of a drug id never even witnessed, methadone. It even caused the day of a good friend because i was forced to be seperate from them when that same weekend he killed himself oit of loneliness. Broke my spirituality too.

[@mrclean4729]

Don't torture yourself with stuff you couldnt control. I know its hard but it's the only way to move on. I truly hope the best for you and remember that even if you don't feel like it you still deserve forgiveness from yourself.

[@edh615]

Me seeing the thumbnail: I hope not.

[@dprssv2329]

Man, this jerry rig everything x mythbusters crossover today is crazy

[@KhoaTran-md5ou]

Up???

[@phrixis2778]

Just found out Grant died, damn sad.

[@loggior.speedweed4345]

not the appropriate place to comment that, pal!

[@trippycat]

@@loggior.speedweed4345why

[@mrclean4729]

On every episodes 50% of all comments are about that, yeah its sad but mentioning it non stop is highly regarded

[@voornaam3191]

What a great "Adam really flies with helium balloons" myth. Don't try this at home applies here, it does. Going up, at a certain height, helium baloons will pop. They do. Air pressure drops, balloons grow larger and larger. Then they fail. Whoops. You do not want to find out yourself. Even sky divers do not like jumping from a huge knot of twisted ropes. Even Buster would not survive this. So, great that Adam did a small hop! He could have said NO.

[@mrclean4729]

But they are weather balloon, making them more viable for altitude. Still dangerous but so cool

[@wingerding]

Lol that drug dr had a real weird look in his eye.

[@mrclean4729]

I know right, it's so obvious

[@agnieszkaadamkiewicz4747]

a phonebook

[@kaseycrooks5080]

Adam just loves garbage

[@Zayle_]

Beck in the days when nobody knew of the Mythbusters, and appropriately thought that they were insane.
