The Barrel Of Bricks Myth... | MythBusters | Season 1 Episode 3 | Full Episode

[@Nebulax_]

I saw the eel getting pulled out that jar and for a split second thought "that's not a suitable enclosure" I then realized it was dead 😂😂 I'm a idiot 😂😂

[@TheHutchy01]

It's quite weird seeing a young and fresh buster knowing by the end of the show he'd look the worst any crash test dummy has ever looked.

[@Jay-to2cn]

Get her up to hutchy yes I am funny as that was Gerry

[@borntoclimb7116]

This is one of my favorite old episodes.

[@MichelleLevasseur]

IMO, the best rendition of the story of the dude and the barrel is the Dubliners song "Paddy won't be at work today". Absolutely hilarious. Fun seeing this old episode.

46:07 looks so wild without the context 💀

[@MpS__tiden_går]

"its not just the number volts in a shock that -Hertz- you"

[@kitsune0012]

That was a terrible pun. Here's a like

[@MpS__tiden_går]

@kitsune0012 yeah I'm sorry about that ahahah

[@A.R.O.T.A.]

I thought this was familiar "Why paddy's not at work today by The Dubliners"

[@TheyCallMeNewb]

Still delighting in these old season 1 episodes!

So, if electric eels use special packs of muscle to produce electric shocks, does that mean if you lift weights really hard and get super swole you can get electric super powers? (that's a joke by the way, although it would be a pretty funny hero origin story).

Barrel of Bricks was the moment I fell in love with with Mythbusters.

[@veronicamckenzie3711]

my card got continuously wiped by my phone, as it sat in the clear case on my phone. So i could scan the card with the back of my phone (this was before you could easily put it on your phone) and the card chip would stop working so i couldn.t tap it anymore. Wish the MythBusters were still together so they could test that

[@WhitePointerGaming]

A little disappointing in this episode that they didn't mention that electric eels are not actually eels at all, they are knifefish, and related to catfish.

[@YanestraAgain]

There are even songs about that mythic event.

[@emilie4058]

33:44 Grab the third rail with both hands and *what* on it?

[@dresden8379]

the song is called "Paddys sicknote" or "The Sick Note"

[@RandomAFP]

Yup as soon as I saw what they were testing it was "oh, they're testing that Dubliners song from the 80s"

[@skullbones7452]

I did pee on a electrified line to keep cows on a field. I knew i could get shocked but i stepped over the line first pushing it down with my hand without getting shocked.I was peeing less then 20 cm away from the line and when my pee stream touched the wire. It hurt like hell, i can tell you that much.The reason i think i didnt get shocked when pushing the line down, was because i was standing in cut grass stepping into knee high soaking wet grass over the line.It was a single orange plastic fiber line with copper woven into itTrue story.Easy to replicate.
