Red Flag to a Bull and Lethal Weapon Combos | MythBusters | Season 5 Episode 18 | Full Episode

"I'm not sure what but something tells me there is a problem with that." I love Jamie's dry deadpan humour! 😂

[@demfrodegroot7596]

29:15 That bull looked so confused as he just stared at Tory like "Are... Are you gonna move? Dude, I thought we were playing, why are you just standing there?"

[@isabellenicholson5930]

Those bulls really looked to me like they were playing. It was kind of cute.

[@darkbielz]

Grant was sooooo keeping that ceramic chicken to himself, but Tory just smashed it. LOL

[@brenthaymon280]

How do you keep a bull from charging? Take away his credit cards. 💳 😂

[@jonathanvokes6064]

27:28 lol bulls just see the world with 90s nostalgia vision

[@borntoclimb7116]

You mean cams

[@BarneySaysHi]

I love Jamie's giggle at 5:53.

[@MNovater]

32:38 line the foil with cabbage leaves (even if you have no desire or interest in eating cabbage) and it will not only protect your hobo dinner from burning, it also makes it juicier.

[@Kiki-cs8xv]

Our neighbors once made the mistake of burning some household garbage in their backyard. An aerosol can shot up out of the fire, hit a tree by their house and ended up setting the house on fire. Stupid games = stupid prizes.

[@harrisongrant8558]

I learned not to burn aerosol cans the hard way when I was a kid. See, apparently putting a sealed pressure vessel with flammable compounds inside it into a fire is not a very good idea unless you're trying to create a bomb, and that's exactly what it sounded like when it exploded. Luckily nobody else was around, but it scared the hell out of me and I never did that again.

[@BrianDove-ls5di]

I remember bull in a china shop being one of the most interesting and unexpected things I ever learned as a kid from mythbusters 🙏

[@ZeHamberglar]

I love that JD was not amused about the keg pour out.

[@AdamPrather-m8t]

I love Adam's shirt "I know I Know Jamie is always right!"

[@mocko69]

I completely missed 90% of the adult jokes when I was watching this as a child lol

I guess that’s why they call them ‘adult’ jokes

4:00 Adam slapping balistic friends never gets old! 😅 And how funny 39:40 styrofoam shelf’s cuz they don’t wanne hurt the bulls, but the glass and china.. porcelain shards..don’t matter 🤷🏻‍♂️😉

[@norbertszekeres867]

Bulls are durable , yeah it's a bit funny

[@borntoclimb7116]

The red flag bull test was pretty interesting. I remember see this Episode years ago in tv and i was happy because a question i have since my childhood got a answer.

[@calumhughes2778]

Can’t believe they went with “Dr FrankenGrant” instead of “Dr Grantenstein”

[@fishboi7425]

Literally what I was thinking

[@johndeaux8815]

With the keg myth, kegs are usually refilled and reused many times. The keg they used had some minor knicks to it. Considering how much a keg costs, I would think that it'd only get thrown on a fire if it was so damaged that you would feel ripped off by how much less beer it'd hold when full. (Eg. Someone kicks it over and it rolls down a hill or off a table, or some particularly hefty person trips on it twice, knocking it over and falling straight on top of it.) That additional damage would create a lot more points of failure for the keg around the perimeter. Obviously it's a bit late for a revisit, but that's my 2c 😊

[@JonatasAdoM]

Less pressure build up then I'd reckon. Also, if the people were drunk beyond reality I can see someone doing it.

[@jojolafrite90]

What Mythbusters tells us is that getting the perfect conditions so an explosion or other disaster occurs is hard, like getting the right mix of a given products like oxygen and gasoline in a given volume. But entropy and big numbers will make so that after a while, it always happens somewhere that perfect conditions for catastrophe occur and disaster always happens in a completely unforeseen manner. Like the well known explosions caused by wood dust, for example.

[@ichiroutakashima4503]

5:30 Moments like this are why I love Mythbusters. They may not get along with each other but they make a very good show.

[@salland12]

This is the first scene that came to my mind when i clicked on this episode.

[@Brinta3]

I think their arguments were always in the preparation of tests, when they couldn’t agree what to build or how to build it. They seemed to have genuine fun together while executing the tests.

[@GOAT_GOATERSON]

From what I've heard they could get along fine when they were working but nothing more than that, they were just colleagues

[@norbertszekeres867]

Adam has a yt channel, and he said it was great to work with Jamie, they had disagrements , but who doesn't, they respect each other.

[@mrheisenberg83]

This rumor that they did not get along needs to die already. They just were not friends but colleagues. They obviously got along.

[@patchbunny]

A fire department tested bullets in fires years ago, as they wanted to know if they would penetrate their bunker gear. What they found was that as the cartridge was uncontained, it would blow apart and wouldn't penetrate their clothing. May have been published in American Rifleman, can't recall.

[@jayfriberg2789]

NRA in the late 1950s.

[@georgijsnovikovs]

36:35 the shrapnel can definitely be lethal. I remember seeing a video of a guy setting off a .22 with a hammer. Some shrapnel hit him in the leg and he almost bled out. It may not be immediately lethal, but if it hits you in just the right (or wrong) spot, you're as good as dead.

[@SPARTAN22294]

Two things: First this is the first time I've seen this part 32:18. Second, my family makes that meal too, and we also call it Hobo Dinner.

[@fallenstar9894]

I can’t get over how funny 4:00 it is when Adam slaps the ballistics head. XD

[@m0torheads]

He really slapped it like it owed him money

[@fallenstar9894]

@ yeah he did lol

[@Eloraurora]

I do wonder how narrow the aisles were in a real china shop when the adage was coined. It's probably less 'animal chooses destruction' and more 'big animal + constricted space + fragile things = broken fragile things.'

[@ignaciomercadovillagra9119]

Early 2000's TV was something else, the best even

[@srf2112]

My Hawaiian brother in law (rip) told me a story of throwing a can of shaving cream into a bed of hot coals on the beach. A group of surfers and their girlfriends were all asleep around the fire pit. My brother in law and his other Navy friends had had a dispute with them earlier. He said when it blew up it looked like a volcano and rained hot coals down on everyone within a 20-30' radius. They stood in the darkness and cheered Pele's retribution. He laughed about that his entire life. This was in the late 60's in the San Diego area somewhere.

[@zsoltbartus169]

7:12 - that unintentional(?) sexiness is one of the reason why we all had crush on her.

[@brendanmatelan2129]

34:33, Jamie’s reaction there was the best

[@SonOfDaw95]

This is what "boys will be boys" means, my heart melted, look at that man's smile ❤

[@testdasi]

Episodes like this one always make me wonder how much is Tory's insurance policy.

[@Yvolve]

The worst thing to throw into a fire is a jeu de boule/petanque ball. They're concrete cores with a metal layer cast on top. It is essentially a perfectly sealed pressure vessel with the shear lines already cut in. The concrete, and the remaining water, heats up until the metal skin can't take the pressure and it explodes like a frag grenade. In the Netherlands, this killed someone last summer. Someone had thrown one of those balls into a fire, it exploded and a chunk hit a guy in the head. He died on the spot.

[@salland12]

Klinkt gevaarlijk

[@Yvolve]

@@salland12 En dodelijk. Was een 37jarige Eindhovenaar, 19 mei 2023.

[@GOAT_GOATERSON]

Wtf? Serieus? Duurt het niet super lang voordat een jeu de boules bal opwarmt? Heb je een linkje? Ben nu wel nieuwsgierig

[@Yvolve]

@@GOAT_GOATERSON YT laat geen links toe, maar als je op "jeu de boules bal dodelijk ongeluk" zoekt vind je meerdere artikelen. Het was in een vuurkorf gegooid, dus mensen zaten er langere tijd omheen. Een beetje volle vuurkorf wordt heel heet in het midden, als de bal daar terecht komt kan het snel gaan. Het grootste probleem zijn de groeven die het nummer aangeven. Perfecte plek voor het metaal om te scheuren en te fragmenteren. Net als een handgranaat, maar dan gevuld met beton. Het zal niet altijd gebeuren, maar het risico is groot genoeg om het vooral niet te doen. Zelfde met stenen in het vuur gooien. Die kunnen ook veel water bevatten en uit elkaar klappen. Gebeurt niet vaak, maar als het gebeurt heb je echt een probleem. Niet alleen de steen vliegt in het rond, maar ook brandende stukken hout. Het beste is niks dan brandhout in een vuur te gooien, komt alleen maar ellende van.

[@Datawolf79]

I would have liked to see them place the keg upside down to see if the keg would launch itself like a rocket just like the the water heater did in that episode.

[@DJProtaganist]

Back in the army used to have the diesel heaters. Had an NCO teach us a trick to help clean them. Throw in a blank. I didn't stay long enough to see if he messed up and tossed in a live round.

[@TheMono25]

He only thought 25 minutes because he actually blew a bear keg up before 😂😂😂❤

[@acmelka]

They really underplayed the danger of the spray cans. That fireball could burn people seriously and get burned badly enough you very well might die after weeks of hell in a burn ward.

[@Sayrden]

45:22 So, did they not have a second bomb suit? Because if it's a case of "We don't know whether the bomb suit or the fire suit will offer better protection", that seems like something to test first.

[@davidrodman1783]

[@mountbuckekreative4044]

In germany its the "Elephant in the porcelain shop", so this is still possible before prooven otherwise.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

And elephants would have issues just with their size alone.

[@RobertBenson-gb2sd]

I think a keg with enough content in it to continue spewing would act like the small can with stuff left in it and take flight!

[@RobinMarks1313]

Aerosol cans make great rockets when put in a campfire. The joys of being a kid in the 1970s.

[@rzepek2pl]

When Adam objected to tossing a full keg into a fire, I thought he didn't want it to go to waste and just pour some of it among the crew, not spill it on the ground!

[@noahseeton]

At 18:27 I'm pretty sure Jamie loaded that with the gun pointed at him.

[@SimonG311]

Shortly after our wedding, I once spent an entire afternoon looking for the teapot and not finding it anywhere. When my wife came home I asked her where it was. She 'It's in the oven', with a look that added an unspoken 'of course'.

[@kuunib7325]

Only in the U.S. would people store guns and ammo in an oven and then turn it on.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

I would expect people to store the gun with the barrel towards the back of the oven. Not for safety reasons, someone putting it in the oven clearly doesn't care about that. But just for ease of access.

Well the bullet is heavier than the shell So it makes sense that the shell is going to go flying more than the bullet 😮

my prob with the red flag to a bull is there testing conditions the saying comes from bull fighting and they fail to test the fact that the guy with the red flag inside the arena has been stabbing the bull with swords for the last hour putting on a show im pretty sure the bull isnt pissed at the red flag

anyone remember the knock off show breaking point. which did the same experiment as this show !!! they show got cancel fast since it was like watching repeat of myth buster, but with different people !!!

[@pistolannie6500]

I Really HAVE to disagree on their "conclusion" of the bullets in a fire. Any 1 who is going to do that is Not going to have thick boards around to protect themselves……and not only are the casings going to shoot out, but WHEERRE do they thinks the bullets are gonna go. They think their just gonna lay there? They're goona shoot out & strike some1!

[@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy]

They’re not saying use the boards as protection, those are to gauge what kinda damage would happen if you got hit

[@pistolannie6500]

@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy Duh..I'm not the 1 that didn't quite get it..&I Really Don't have in me 2 go into a lengthy explanation to bring to Ur level of understanding!

[@PunchCounterpunch_Lizzy]

@ seems you’re the one with the superiority complex here, you clearly didn’t understand the episode, they’re not saying the bullets are just gonna stay still while the casing fires off, the damage done to the boards were from both bullets and the shell, the shells seem to have caused the worse damage. That was the episode yet you seem to no t understand “duh no one is gonna have thick boards around it” dipshit
