History Characters / MythBusters

* GreenAroundTheGills: Though not to anywhere near the extent of Adam - he lasts much longer in the motion sickness chair during the seasickness cure trials before eventually succumbing. (Hungover, though, [[NauseaFuel is completely another story]].)

!!Jessica M. Combs

* TheSilentBob: Compared to Christine, her predecessor as Mythtern, she mostly stayed in the background and helped out with the technical aspects of the experiments.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mythbusters-buster-bio-2-324x205_9798.jpg]]

The team's crash test dummy, naturally used in place of real humans for all sorts of experiments no real person could or should attempt. Originally your standard crash test dummy, the Mythbusters upgraded him to be more easily repairable, and gave him durability of that more like a human adult male. These upgrades includes a cast aluminum skeleton, poplar wood bones, and flesh and muscles of “Dragon Skin” silicone rubber.

Who are the Mythbusters?

OK, they're not exactly fictional, but...

!!Adam Whitney Savage

!!James Franklin Hyneman

* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Invoked and PlayedForLaughs in the finale, in what is about the closest to the trope a real-life person could conceivably come. Buster is dressed up as a superhero, positioned on a rocket sled aimed at a concrete wall, and launched at it at 800 mph. The sheer power of the impact, estimated to be over five million joules of energy, ''disintegrates'' Buster in an instant -- there's a few flashes of light as he hits the wall and then he just ceases to be, the only thing left behind being a few shreds of his costume and some tiny pieces of debris. Adam cracks that Buster went to Mythbuster Valhalla, and could not conceive a more worthy fate for his years of service.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: At DrinkingGame proportions.
* DeadpanSnarker: On occasion.
* InteractiveNarrator: Usually with Adam.

* ExpansionPackPast: Provides the page quote. Adam frequently provides details on Jamie's past to the point it's almost a MultipleChoicePast--apparently Jamie is descended from a line of "track-straighteners" dating back to the middle ages, worked for the mob, and may be an alien and/or over two thousand years old. Or UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt, to whom he bears a pretty uncanny resemblance. His real past, though not as funny, is genuinely awesome: he ran away from home at 14 and hitchhiked across the U.S., has a degree in Russian linguistics, and has been, in alphabetical order, an animal wrangler, a boat captain, a chef, a concrete inspector, a machinist, a pet shop owner, a scuba divemaster, and a wilderness survival instructor. And that's not even a complete list.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted in a long-unaired episode where they test if girls fart or not, through Adam inserting a microphone into a pair of panties. She is the one who partakes in the experiment and she lets out a ''huge, wet fart''. (This myth eventually aired on TV in a mailbag special.)
