1 | While kids definitely learned a lot about the sciences from Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy, [[JustHereForGodzilla most of the time they watched the show to see what wacky antics Bill wound up getting into during that week's episode.]] And quite frankly, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments so did we.]] |
2 | |
3 | ---- |
4 | * The episode on Chemical Reactions features lots of StuffBlowingUp, often prefixed by a woman going "And now, a chemical reaction" in an incredibly deadpan voice; a different segment featured a purple dinosaur doll that looked suspiciously like Series/{{Barney| And Friends}} getting blown up to the tune of the "[[GeniusBonus 1812 Overture]]"[[note]]Famous for using cannon blasts in its instrumentation![[/note]]. |
5 | * "Nutrition" has: |
6 | ** "Beans?!" |
7 | ** The "Fathead" scene. |
8 | * The episode featuring rivers and streams has an impressive moment when Bill discusses hydroelectric power and dams. |
9 | -->'''Bill:''' That's a lot of ''[[{{Pun}} dam]]'' power! Haha! A ''lot'' of dam power! |
10 | * Many of the WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties moments qualify as this, such as the time when Bill [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5x_r3-iO-I accidentally flicked a Red-knee Tarantula on the cameraman!]] |
11 | -->'''Narrator:''' Uh, uh... Bill? Bill?!\ |
12 | '''Bill:''' (flicks the tarantula onto the Narrator in an attempt to get her off his gloves) Sorry! I was--\ |
13 | '''Narrator:''' ([[OhCrap Panicking]]) ''BIIIILLLLL!'' (Technical difficulties screen pops up) ''THE TARANTULA'S CRAWLING IN MY '''PAAAAAAAAAAANTS! AA--''''' |
14 | * In the ''Probability'' episode: |
15 | ** Bill is in a park looking for four-leaf clovers, and determines that there's a 1-in-5000 chance of them being in the park. When talking about finding a ''five''-leaf clover, he says [[TemptingFate it's as likely as standing in the park and getting hit by a giant wrecking ball]]. Then he looks down and goes to pick up what he thinks is a five-leaf clover, narrowly dodging a wrecking ball that has suddenly appeared. He finds it's not actually a five-leaf clover, but still gets hit. |
16 | ** In the another scene, Bill arrives in a car and walks towards the camera to give his lecture, where he describes how probability affects auto-insurance, and that insurance companies have to consider things such as car vandalism, radio theft, and stealing of tires. As he describes such, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent crooks arrive and his car is subject to all of those things]], all while he continues his lecture, stating how those factors are highly unlikely for most people. The proverbial icing on the cake: the narrator tries to inform Bill of what’s going on, but Bill is too caught up in his lecture to listen. |
17 | * Bill's lesson about why the ''Titanic'' sank. |
18 | -->"Don't call a ship unsinkable when it's built like an ice-cube tray, and don't call an ice-cube tray unshippable when it's built like a sink." |
19 | * In "Human Transpiration," Bill is stuck in a traffic jam and decides to get help from the Federation of Science...and a ''very'' familiar face. |
20 | -->'''Bill Nye:''' Come on, come on! I'm trapped in a late 20th Century traffic jam. |
21 | -->''(He turns on a video screen, connecting to the Federation of Science)'' |
22 | -->'''Bill Nye:''' Mr. Scott, can't you get me out of this? |
23 | -->'''Creator/JamesDoohan:''' She can't take any more, Science Guy! |
24 | -->'''Bill Nye:''' Are you sure? |
25 | -->'''James Doohan:''' I'm givin' her all she's got, Science Guy. |
26 | -->'''Bill Nye:''' Scotty, you're fired. |
