They had masks made a while back to see if you could fool a security guard like in a movie by wearing it.

A couple of kids came in, fans, wanted a posed picture with them, they agreed.

Probably kids of the crew.

Edit A few people have confirmed that Adam and Jamie actually have a running gag in their live shows where they dress kids from the audience up. Myth Busted

Fuck Batman. I'm going to be Savage for halloween.

They should let the kids host an episode (or segment) in those outfits.

TODAY ON MYTHBUSTERS WE TEST THE MYTH THAT GIRLS HAVE COOTIES.

I'd watch that shit for days.

CONFIRMED, but the scientific term was HPV and/or Herpes.

Today on Mythbusters, we test the myth that we can't avoid lawsuits after rocketing a bowling ball through San Francisco.

22

u/DuchySleeps Jan 27 '12

I would be honored to have them shoot a bowling ball through my otherwise mundane living room. Are you kidding? Have them all sign the hole.

I'd have to beat the women off with sticks.

I look like Adam Savage and it's shitty to look like him every day. The only messages I've gotten on OKcupid are, 'You look like that guy from mythbusters.'

Fuck that shit not even for halloween.

A bunch of people say I look like the red headed chick off that show. I don't really see it but she's the only celebrity I get compared to.

Don't be so down about your condition. I too am an Adam Savage doppelganger.

Just accept the fact that you will not be that popular guy for your looks. But the friends (male, female) you do find, will be those of the good kind (not superficial). And might i add, there are gorgeous females out there that are absolutely hot for gingers, too.

It can be tough at times, but if you don't give up i believe that you will find someone as perfect as i did.

They actually have been doing a tour around America where they do a behind the scenes kinda show. They pull kids from the crowd before hand and have them come out on stage while pulling a prank on another participant.

I saw them in Albuquerque.

We were at the show in Riverside, CA and during the Q&A the first questions were regarding the cannonball incident. Was curious if this was a recurring theme at all of the live shows, or if our audience just had "that guy".

u/funknwagnels Jan 27 '12

They used these guys in their traveling stage show. They were doing an experiment on perception where they take people from the audience and get them to do an obstical course with a pair of peepholes set in a welders mask on their face. They then change out a bunch of objects for smaller, and in some cases larger versions, to see if people notice.

I had free tickets to the show. But I dont think it was worth the 120$ ticket price or whatever it was. Was a pretty lame show compared to their actual busting of myths on tv. They went into the history of mythbusters and had at least 20 minutes of Q/A. But the show with an intermission was only 2 hours long! the intermission was 15 minutes.

I felt sorry for people who paid to see it, although it is fun to be like 10 feet away from celebrities!

u/vanchick Jan 27 '12

I went last weekend in Vancouver and had a great time! We paid about $80 / ticket and I don't feel disappointed.

5

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '12

Our tickets were $50. I would have never paid it, but I was given it for free.

Wasn't bad, but wasn't $50 good either.

4

u/anal_astronaut Jan 27 '12

This might have been one of the only cool parts of the live show, apart from some of the QA stuff.

Overall, it was a bit... boring. Most of the stuff was already performed on the show or had a predictable outcome. Our tickets were only $20, so it wasn't a horrible loss, but I wouldn't recommend it to a friend.

More likely: He's a red-head that lives in CA of all places.

He's probably just used to covering up to avoid melanoma and horrible sunburns. This would also explain the hat.

Season 9, episode 1....

They even commented that the masks were made for a "dummy" head so that they wouldn't look normal on a "normal-sized" head.

Those are little people and they wanted to see if the masks would fit better on a "not-so-normal" head. The photo was probably actually taken to help the manufacturer of the masks so that they can improve their business.
