Now they test the third extinguisher, full of chemical foam, which leads to this '''''unbelievable''''' exchange just seconds after they drop it in.

* Jamie himself said during the "Top 25 Mythbusters Moments" special that, for him, one of the funniest moments on the show was a comment Adam made while he and Jamie were making the raincoat life-raft for the Alcatraz escape. The myth they were testing supposedly involved three inmates making the raft silently at night on the top of the prison, but Adam and Jamie had to hammer the raincoats rather loudly to make their raft. While hammering away, Adam stops and says, "Wait... is that a guard? No-" and starts pounding loudly again.

* The boys recently did the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vhZ24WKV4o cold open of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson]]. Adam was in his spacesuit get-up, and both had to hold up cue cards for their lines in the song. But Jamie is just... Jamie. And for the most part, stands there totally deadpan the whole time. Which makes it frackin' hilarious.
