History Funny / MythBusters

* The sound that Jamie's "pop gun" makes after it's modified to fire grenades for the "shoot a grenade out of the air" myth. It makes the [=MythBusters=] lose it.

''(alligator hissing in the background, Kari turns to look, then turns to their guide)''

** Sadly this wasn't shown in the episode but one of the volunteers threw a LEGO brick at Tory when he told her "less talk, more work!" You can just see her pull back her arm to throw it before the camera cuts.
*** The "volunteer" is actually Kari. Which makes it even funnier, of course.

* Adam's face during the "Chicken Cannon" revisit. He's been maintaining all along that frozen or thawed would make no difference, the math says roughly equal mass and roughly equal velocity yields roughly identical kinetic energy (which is true, but also incidental to ''actual'' myth). After getting inconclusive results firing at foam blocks (apparently due to manufacturing defects in the blocks themselves), Adam just wants to be ''done'' with the myth and doesn't think there's anything left to learn. Jaime insists on another test, firing at twelve panes of glass held in a wooden frame. A thawed chicken breaks two panes (interestingly, the first and fourth). They fire their frozen chicken at a fresh set up of glass, the camera remains fixed on Adam's face. There's a whoosh, a shattering of glass, Adam's jaw drops, and he's ''speechless'' for several seconds, before looking at the camera and saying "Well, that'd be a result!" ''Then'' they finally show that the frozen chicken blasted through all twelve panes of glass, leaving a neat hole, and neatly proving Adam dead wrong. But his dumbfounded expression in those seconds is ''hilarious''.

** It gets its humor back when Adam tries to get his revenge in a later episode by setting off a homemade smoke bomb. [[spoiler:He fails miserably, although the smoke bomb was remarkably resistant to attempts to put it out, which was funny enough on its own.]]

[[folder:Season ?? (2012)]]

* In the attraction episode, one myth they're testing is whether people will become dumber when faced with members of the opposite sex. Adam builds the test area... and proceeds to lock himself in by [[WhatAnIdiot closing the door when the doorknob wasn't installed yet.]] Jamie has to toss over a drill and a screwdriver so Adam can pry the door open.

* In “TrailBlazers”: They have to buy a bra to see if it gets electrocuted by a defibrillator... unfortunately Tory is the closest to the ballistics dummy build so... he has to go bra shopping. Grant being uncomfortable with the whole thing makes it all the more hilarious.

* In the Confederate Rocket myth, Grant is attempting to talk about nitrous oxide gas... while in the presence of an apparatus that's slowly creating the stuff. Given that the common term for nitrous oxide is "laughing gas", [[HilariousOuttakes I think you]] [[{{Corpsing}} can guess]] [[HilarityEnsues what ensues]].

*** Turned UpToEleven when they put as many as four bulls in there, and only one shelf (and one or two assorted pieces of china) got knocked over.

* When testing the RPG (Rocket-Propelled Grenade) vs. Handgun myth from the movie ''Film/{{Red}}'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5elJNyLVEQ the Build Team test-fires an RPG at a flimsy old trailer]] "Just to see what it does." The resulting high-speed shot is one of the funniest, and most awesome, in the show's history. The RPG leaves a [[ImpactSilhouette perfectly round hole, with four vertical lines coming off it from the RPG's stabilizing fins.]] Then the whole trailer vanishes in an epic explosion.

*** Another better comment goes "Be the thunderstorm. Heavy as a planet. The footfalls of [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Godzilla.]]

* Adam and Jamie test ''taking candy from a baby'' and ''losing'' to one.
** At the end of the last test, Adam asks the oldest baby for a high-five. She gives him one. (Sure, it doesn't sound like much, but picture a one-and-a-half-year-old giving a pretty solid high-five for someone of that age. It really is the little things sometimes.)
