History Heartwarming / MythBusters

** In general, the whole reunion episode really demonstrates that the cast are TrueCompanions.
* On a meta level, it's quite heartwarming just how much this show was able to teach kids about science, similar to Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy in the mid-90s.

* The [=MythBusters=] are best known for their epic explosions and general scientific badassery, but the less-violent myths (things that your average viewer could very likely encounter in everyday life) are incredibly important. The submerged-car myth, as noted below, has famously saved several lives, and they have made significant contributions to consumer safety understanding. Case in point: when the water heater episode first aired, this troper's father said "hmm, perhaps we should check our water heater and make sure that safety problem isn't going on with it." He checked, and it did--and according to the plumber was within days of doing exactly what the water heater in the myth did.

* Adam and Jamie aren't best friends. They're not even buddies. They just work together. But if there's ever a chance that one of them is in real danger or might be seriously injured, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther that sense of family mentioned above]] ''[[TrueCompanions really]]'' [[FireForgedFriends shines through]].

* When Adam and Jamie visit the White House for the "President's Challenge" episode, President Obama praises the show and what he feels it's done for science education and popularity. There's a distinctly different quality in the President's voice tone between him giving the MythBusters their well-deserved praise and then falling back on script to talk about the myth setup. No doubt here that the President's sentiments were 100% genuine. He finishes and Jamie responds, "Well, thank you, sir", and you can '''hear''' Jamie holding back his emotions. This is James Franklin Hyneman, TheStoic if there ever was one, moved to tears.

* Adam getting violently and unexpectedly shocked thanks to ExecutiveMeddling? DudeNotFunny. There's no footage of the aftermath, because the loyal cameramen and women insisted on giving him privacy--against said executive's orders. Coupled with Adam attributing this to them being a [[TrueCompanions family]] thanks to all the time they've spent together over the years? CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* In the episode where Adam and Jamie are making a "chicken gun", Jamie wants to use a piece of equipment that Adam is concerned would be too dangerous and risk blowing up, and Adam gets somewhat aggressive about it since Jamie just says he doesn't think it'll blow up. Jamie iterates to the camera that he doesn't hold Adam's concern against him, and later on when Adam learns of a safer and more fitting alternative, Jamie has no objections whatsoever to giving him the money and car to go buy it and is genuinely impressed with Adam's pick. Afterwards, Adam apologizes for his prior outburst, and the two go back to cracking jokes and working. The whole sequence of events is a great representation of how the two can work well together despite their spats and don't hold things against each other.
