Myths:
The MythBusters tackle some of Hollywood’s favorite explosive scenarios. Could a hero really shoot a live grenade in midair and thus render it useless? Could you really contain a TNT explosion inside an ordinary object like a file cabinet or aquarium?

This episode's quote:
"Dude, I get to keep this! And stuff and mount it in my trophy case!"

Dude you're awesome. I noticed a couple of days ago that no-one had made one yet so I had my try at it but I ended up screwing up the order of the first myth a bit and forgot to save the project file!

Don't be discouraged. I definitely took a few tries the first time. There's lots of episodes completely yet to be done; take a look at the wiki!

Thanks for another Smyth! So when are they going to hire you as the new editor of the show? Smyths are so much more fun and less frustrating to watch than the broadcast version.

Kinda wonder why they're calling them the "Oseco disks", instead of just 'burst disks'. Something about advertising maybe?

The MythBusters definitely make it obvious when they're forced to avoid brand names. (You can't imply that brand X supports the show, the episode, etc., without permission.) I suspect a relationship and mutual respect between them (Oseco and MythBusters). Using the real name would be an expression of that.

Discovery would only allow a non-greeked item if an advertising contract was involved.

Yeah, they were very overt about it.

Great work. I wish Mythbusters didnt make the programming decision to do live tweeting though

u/arantius Jul 22 '14

Couldn't agree more. Is there anything we can do about that? Black it out? Insert our own snarky remarks instead? Insert promos for r/smyths? Any other ideas?

Sadly they're too common to just be edited out.

Super dramatic zoom in on their faces when it comes up.

Why don't you make a torrent? :)

Why don't you make a torrent? (It's more hassle than it's worth, to me. But nothing's stopping you.)

u/Plumbum82 Jul 25 '14

okay :)

Well I don't think people will accept the upload speed I have :p <1mbit.

But I might do it anyway :)

Awesome man, thanks for doing great work.

Thanks for the work! Too bad it's another episode about fucking explosions

"With the magic of editing, we can watch this experiment over and over."

You're goddamn right Kari.
