Oh man, folks are gonna look at this clip 60 years from now and think "Oh no! That's, like, $500,000 worth of antique phonebooks!"

[@OldCouches]

I like the way you think

[@dasdew2]

1:10 Ultimate insult? Adam- "Here, I'll make it easy for ya" Jamie- "Okay" Doesn't seem like much of a insult.

[@ethancavill]

omg lol, classic

[@JonatasAdoM]

He showed him how to do it, wouldn't you feel smarter than him?

[@tarasov9794]

He was essentially saying "here, let me show you how to do it", which is the ultimate insult to any self-respecting engineer.

[@WingMaster562]

@@tarasov9794 let's change the " self-respecting engineer" to a "prideful person who acts knowing everything" then your statement works.

[@tarasov9794]

@@WingMaster562 That is if you deliberately misinterpret what I meant. Obviously, I didn't mean that a self-respecting engineer is closed-minded and not willing or interested to learn new things, which is what you're trying to shove with your remark, but instead, that when an engineer is facing a challenge (which is what happened in the video), (s)he wants to solve the puzzle him(/her)self, and ask for help only when (s)he decides to. What Adam did was along the lines of "haha, can't figure it out? here's a small tip for ya", in a playful manner of course, which is "an insult to ego" per se, not an actual insult. Naturally, when someone does this to you, it does hurt your pride a little, but simultaneously, the person helping in such manner, also shows ego.

[@jackcountiss]

I had to go try that. I'm short a phone book now but I feel weirdly accomplished.

[@fsmoura]

I don't doubt you, Adam's feel-my-power face of self-satisfaction at 0:37 tells it all. It's hard not to laugh maniacally when you're capable of superhuman feats of strength.

[@kpk90]

'what, you want to get whacked in the head by a phonebook?' haha.

[@grizzly_manbanimation8436]

It’s so interesting watching this and knowing that these 2 aren’t actually friends. Just coworkers.

[@Bartman954]

That been said the line "Wanna get whacked in the head by a phonebook?" is just Jamie joking around.

[@phoenixanna]

this is one of my favorite episodes! i still have it saved on my dvr, just so we can show it to people and go, "can you believe how strong a phone book is? you'll NEVER guess!"

[@MorganNovak]

Sometimes... I don't know, Adam just seems... savage.

[@cheesebusiness]

Sadly that they’ve divorced

[@XZagatoX]

They were never together to begin with, let's be honest

[@yucatansuckaman5726]

[@MrZarewna]

I wish I could try this, but we don't have phone books anymore.

[@MrMisterDerp]

1:31 oh Jamie

[@Intrepid_Explorer]

Hey, Adam finally beat Jamie at something!

[@christopherdean1326]

I used to be able to do that, but they changed the way they bound phone books in the UK, so it wasn't so easy. Now I can't remember the last time I saw a physical phone book...

[@kfinnguy]

Absolute carnage. Bits of phone book everywhere.

[@weckar]

It's 2020 and what's a phone book?

[@fsmoura]

haha awesome segment, hadn't laughed so much in years

[@shamusbob7969]

[@Confetti_Head_Gore]

Jamie should have joined forced with Adam to become Jayman the Barbarian once again.

[@Azure30]

He baked it? I think you're baked, lol

[@yogwhatup2000]

If you mean entering a tree's mind and intertwining than yes. I love me some long hard old wood.

[@BThings]

Unfortunately, this trick does not work with Google searches.

[@kkidd123]

its faster and easier if you start at the binding...the binding "snaps" and the pages begin to tear on there own...once it starts to rip, its all downhill from there

[@yogwhatup2000]

Love all and love nature. Love the trees and love yourself.

[@ximachimpx]

i dont know how adam can do that to jamie, when he says "ive never done this before" i wouldve totally caved and told him

[@JonatasAdoM]

But he was nice, he could have done much worse

[@ghostlytavern129]

Now that I know the truth about there relationship I’m honestly hurt... I not upset cause they weren’t gay but because they really were never friends and that’s just sad to me.

I am so sad all of those dead trees all over the floor. Someone should stop this horrible show for airing such trash to young viewers. They should recycle all of that and feel bad. Save the planet.
