Mythbusters: Mini Myth Mayhem - Gorn Cannon Myth Sneak Peek

[MrImastinker]

Oh, poor Kirk fanboys. Picard is laughing somewhere!

[seeker6789]

I love the gorn scream.. LOL

[ElDudeiranoAbides]

@seeker6789 Its called a Wilhelm scream. Look it up. Its pretty cool.

[seeker6789]

@ElDudeiranoAbides That is sooooo cool I did not know that.... Thanks for that bit of history... ; )

[romefox]

JTK can do the impossible! Never question his greatness!!!

[romefox]

Yes, but can it blend?

[missdexterity]

one of the most hilariously ridiculous tos episodes ever. never gets old!

[pdus]

these guys have no idea how to make bamboo cannon

watch this

youtube.com/watch?v=QNcXrRPZ76­8

[Catlicker101]

I can't believe they couldn't get clearance to use the actual strek footage...sad.

[InfidelArmee]

I just saw Grant on the McGyver Myth of blowing the lock out of a steel door. He said Black Powder has more Umph, than Smokeless. Wrong. It might be easier to ignite, but Smokeless Propellant Powder generates 6times the volume of gas, compared to the same weight of Black Powder

[LambertFan27]

This episode is actually got me to start watching Star Trek....now I've finished all three seasons and I'm sad. :(

[2LucasKane3]

@LambertFan27 Well, there is more Star Trek. Try TNG with one of the best actors of all time: Patric Stewart. Also, i really like TNG because it sometime deals with political situations that happen in our time. Then, there is DS9, looooots of action, also, the episodes are not single storys, they all connect so you have one big plot. If you dont like that, try Star Trek voyager. A ship lost in another quadrant without help from starfleet. and then there is Enterprise wich plays before Kirk.

[LambertFan27]

@2LucasKane3

I'm in the middle of TNG now, it's pretty good, but I'm just going to stick with the two that kind of started the whole phenomenon and the movies

[cabbievonbump]

Question. Which of our Eeeevil Geniuses, with their perchant of attempting to make the movie "Blow'd Up!", would have an orgasm if they were handed a nuke? Correction. who would be first?

[AlistairAI]

oh, here comes the gorn! lol

[utscuba]

That old Star Trek is the beast. Hands down. LONG LIVE CAPTAIN KIRK!!!

[paperbea]

was that the door opening sound from doom when they were beamed up?

[2LucasKane3]

@paperbea I had the same thought. I also play doom and i have to say, this sound is used a lot in TV, not only in mythbusters.

[Nash1a]

Were those charcoal briquettes? I wonder if its Kingsford Match-light? That would obviously make the Gorn tastier when cooked.

[Nash1a]

Its a Bam-zooka!

[MinaMcKay]

You'll need to make a weapon. Look around– can you construct some sort of rudimentary lathe?

[Nash1a]

@MinaMcKay That's from Galaxy Quest, right?

[MinaMcKay]

@Nash1a Yes! You win one internet!

[obiwanobiwan13]

So apparently you can't do it, the stuff would just fizzle, and even if the gunpowder worked, the bamboo cannon would explode along with it.

But they're forgetting one HUGE component, bigger than space bamboo or aliens or space chemicals...

Namely...

They forgot to ad to their mixture:

1 Captain James Tiberius Kirk! :D

[i0n496]

@obiwanobiwan13 And it's SPACE BAMBOO.

[Kassad101]

Gorns Wear sneakers now?? :P

[unusedsn]

Jessi; Shes kind of hawt.

[dragonkillification]

The quotes! oh all the quotes! I love them!

[DumbDrunkLoser75IQ]

respond if you believe this is racist against green people with large teeth

[TheFacelessK]

@2bluhorses no alien bamboo "might" be something unknown to humankind, im not a star trek fanatic but im sure there are things that exist in the trek universe that dont in real life, so on an unknown fictional planet, i think its silly to think their would be planets with frog people living on it, but to u is logical and an idea of something humans cant comprehend is just "silly", if u really want to go that deep into it kirks bamboo wasnt bamboo and the chemicals had something unknown to man

[twobluehorses]

So "alien" bamboo is stronger because it's alien? And common elements, found all over the universe, are more "inhuman" than the same stuff we have on Earth? This is silly on so many levels and for so many reasons I don't know where to begin.

[TheFacelessK]

okie dokie i saw this one but i think the fact of the matter is that kirk was on a alien planet right?? so wouldnt that mean the bamboo might be way stronger ? and the chemicals kirk used are from alien origins so it might have inhuman characteristics thats are beyond our conception to understand

[NodDisciple1]

@TheFacelessK I wondered about that myself.  :(

[TheFacelessK]

@NodDisciple1 thank you :) 

[incrowdcynic]

wtf is the relevant clip?

[djrobertjohnson]

NO I WILL NOT WATCH IT! Ill have to get my entertainment somewhere else.....you hear me?!

[ddogg7]

Spok looks more like Zulu

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

@ddogg7 You mean Sulu.

[MrKillahGee]

Yo, Jessi Combs ruled the show!

[GamerAnd]

LOL the Wilhelm Scream 1:09

[thesam723]

the best

[THEFALLEN093]

is carrey not in it no more? :( well she is o was pregenent is she in it

[suzieq0805]

One of the funniest episodes in a while :)

"Ohh, here comes the Gorn..."

Gorn wearing sneakers & Peter Pan tights

Wilhelm Scream

And Jessie's looking positively striking as a bonus :)

[Tamerplane]

Doom sound effect at the end (L)

[supressorgrid]

I just like to watch them blow shit up. That never gets old.

[CAZZERNERY]

@supressorgrid so do i

[MrImastinker]

@supressorgrid The Kirk dummy, for instance!

[SeenDesigns]

Who come they didn't shoot it at the Vasquez Rocks (right outside of Acton) where the original was shot. That would have made it legit.

[Tehssnake01]

I'm not racist but shouldn't Grant be Sulu?

Sulu is one of the funniesst to me.

[DeathscytheRick]

Grants probably the love child of Spock and Sulu....erm Spulu.

Alright it was funnier when Andy Dick did his version.

Its not racist but Grant can be who he wants to be. lol

[HAWXfighterpilot]

such a shame mythbusters pay attention to startrek nolife people!

[jtjjbannie]

WHAT??!!!...Who got my girl pregnant?!...I demand answers....NOW!!!

[DeathscytheRick]

Actually she already had the baby by the time you posted this. lol

[jtjjbannie]

I thought they were talking about Jessie.

my bad.

but I still love a woman that can bed me down!

[DaleOfHope]

Lol, the song in the beginning is an iLife (Garageband/iMovie) Default song.

Tee hee...

[smrterthenu]

the ingrediants are KN03 and sugar and some charcoal

[Fluffman78]

for some reason i think i will never fuck with u lol

[Gamerzlife]

@smrterthenu dosent kno3 and sugar with a 3:1 or 5:1 ratio make a smoke bomb.

[smrterthenu]

i know that but if it compacted with cat litter in a tube it will make a rocket

[jocax188723]

somebody uses a mac and Garageband!

[AliTheBrit19]

what happened to kari?

[zeroanor]

Preggo

[robojot]

shes pregnanted

im from norway soz for bad spelling

[bestsupscriptions]

She's giving Birth

[munnabrandon]

watch lidandsid it is very funny

[303430]

my favorite is the "goofy" scream they used on disney movies and cartoons all the time!

[pwilliams58]

yee wilhelm

[Microlink1980]

If Sulu impregnated a Vulcan chick...

[RaiderRich2001]

Yeah... Microlink, there's some funky pon farr going on in the 23rd century

[hopebgood]

"Funky Pon Farr".  lol

[nasavisa]

duck

[Tendoking]

Uh-oh...she's a red shirt. heh

[TheScyphozoa]

1:08 What is that scream from? I've heard the exact same one in both The Two Towers and The Return of the King, and I think in Return of the Jedi too.

[DexwardCuxann]

@TheScyphozoa It's the Wilhelm Scream. It's been used in a lot of movies particularly the Star Wars series.

[PhydeWice]

That's the Wilhelm scream. It's a stock sound effect that been used in lots of movies.

[lonewatchman]

show the bitche's legs FFS, what's the point of putting her in a mini-skirt if they don't show the goods?

[Greenmoss100]

What happend to Kary!?!?!?!?!? You guys remember the Pregnant girl.

[vampireprince5006]

she is taking care of her kid duh

[owenmunoz]

She gave birth to a girl on June 28, 2009.

[RaynorX]

hey the Chinese made rockets out of bamboo so I don't see that part being too ridiculous

[anuss08]

isn't star-trek in the future? so they've probably already seen this episode and thats how it could be done

[mahvimcoo]

lol its a cardboard cutout of the monster at the end.

[AFLoneWolf]

Since when did the mythbusters get production value?

[MrRobot]

@AFLoneWolf  ha

[bigdave1231]

mouth to mouth with the alien?haha

[biscoito1r]

He only uses charcoal and sulfur to make gun powder, he misses a third ingredient.

[kittyprydekissme]

On Star Trek, Kirk had all three ingredients. But you're right; I didn't see the saltpetre here.

[darmokandgalad]

ahaha, that looks good.

[payneproductions100]

OOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOOOoooooooo­ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo­oooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOO!

[BlakeTahoe]

my brother is engaged to one of kari's cousins,i didnt believe her until she whipped out the'Ol family photo album......felt like criss angel mind freaked me....i hope i get to go to a family reunion haha

[LobsterBhere]

She left becouse she had a babie and needs to take care of her child.Ordinary mother...She didn't leave becouse she didnt get payed enough or anything...

[UnGato7]

Even when this inevitably fails they still have to reproduce the results, so this will be awesome regardless.

[STroopz]

I dont know about u guys... but this Show got boring ...

[SimpleStuff31]

WHAT!

[Razor891]

mythbusters is pretty cool

[jill0111]

i used to make one when i was a kid, its common in the Philippines during the holiday season used by kids as a toy. but we didnt used gun powder, and we use soda cans as ammo, which didnt go far, just makes a loud noise

[ArtemTokarevABAKAN]

Ха-ха-ха Звездные войны бля

[thearaban]

that jessi girl is a skilled welder and fabricator. pretty damn hot. jessi and kari should both be on the show together

[FatMat426]

This looks like it's going to be a good one to watch!

[arromac]

...Mythbusters are full of shyt....

[chusuko]

no, you are!

[BangSomePoo]

Jessi == hot. I'd hit that

[skidrum11]

i know this sounds racist, but grant should be sulu.

[BobLarrabee]

Not racist, just silly. Sulu has no meaningful dialogue on that episode. They already fudged enough by giving McCoy and Scotty's lines to "Yeoman".

[sweetness11313]

ya but i always thought of vulcans as the asians of the universe haha idk y

[Eikinkloster]

@sweetness11313 Nimoy thought of them as the Jews of the Universe, hehehe.

But then there is an asian ness to Jewishness. I had been thinking of Asians as space elves (Warhammer Eldar) and have always thought of Vulcans as space elves, so...

Google 李曼低. She would do a perfect Elf/Vulcan.

One story of Sandman did have Elves with Asian features, to emphasize their otherworldness. It worked fine....

[caulfieldryecatcher]

haha i was just going to leave that exact comment. word for word.

[JerKaHolikZ]

Yo chheck out my vid comment..i know we needa work on shitt but rate comment yea...

[trunk516]

I hope they keep Kari and Jessi...luv 'em both..:P

[gmodman64]

i cant wait for this episode ive always watched myhtbusters

[PilotPete109]

I can't even say how many times I've seen 'this' episode. Grew up on the classic trek reruns. This should be cool, like everything on MB.

[gymer15]

What a great gorn costume, how did they come up with that???

[Trackadvantage]

yes, you can make a "bazooka" (not one like we in the modern world would think of) Thats what the first fire gourds and fireworks were made of..right?

[SicSolution]

Ahhh!! The intro music is like nails on a chalkboard, they play it every morning on my school bulletin D:

[ibeAlec]

@SicSolution thats directly from the apple app iMovie lol

[Chagrinnedsenseless]

lol, wasnt the fightnig in the scene intense?!?! I cant wait for this

xD

[RialVestro]

Wait this myth doesn't make sence. Kirk never made a bazooka out of Bamboo because bamboo is native to Earth and he was on an alien planet. Yeah that's it the planet just happen to made of exsplosive materials and hollow plants SIMULAR to bamboo.

[tuckerdudetv]

NERD!!!!!!!!

HA HA jk

[CptReed]

So would everyone be happy if kari and this girl shared the screen?

[bryeunade]

yes it is possible to make a home made cannon from bamboo. in the philippines during new year its been a tradition where kids make home made cannons from bamboo thats just enough to make a loud bang to celebrate the new year

[stansfield8]

Those things they make in the Philippines aren't cannons. It's just lighter fluid combusting. No projectile, no cannon.

[animeIoveraxl]

XD love mythbusters! can't wait.(also can't wait for Karie to come back...)

[itsjimmy2009]

The red headed girl was so much hotter!!!

[ufoflyer07]

I can't wait to see this episode I actually even saw that very episode of Star Trek. It was one of the better ones since most of them sucked. In it Kirk is fighting a captain from another species and can't beam back up to the ship.

[furroy2]

hahahha, they used the wilhelm!!!!

[littlsuprstr]

awesome myth to bust. tory is fighting way too well compared to kirk. grant is more logical as spock considering his math and science skills, and extremely poor driving skills. the blonde won't last long, the red shirt gives it away.

[anthonymezzapelle]

CAN I JOB? yes, I can job ! MacKirk boka, invet guns from space over my house all the time, so come on over and smoke medical cannabis with doctors recommendation. I can make guns from my mind from air molecules

[tibblesnbitsify]

When most "gay" and bisexual women admit to being sexually abused as a child, it is clearly not natural.

[Zpik3]

I would just LOVE to see where you got that data! ^^

[SpartanM621]

I hate Jessi. Whatever happened to that other girl in the earlier seasons? The other blonde.

[hiflyby]

@SpartanM621 the one with the slight brown hair

[SpartanM621]

@hiflyby

Wow, that really helps me.

-_-

[hiflyby]

i dont know her name

[jayry55]

awesome

[ganymedeIV4]

yea, kari is on maternity leave, im not sure if she'll come back what with having the new kiddo. but i have noooo idea about that.

the real question is...where the hell did that other gal "Scotty" go, that used to weld everything together and fix cars and what not(did the tattoo myths to) Maybe she wasn't "pretty" enough for the execs or something, which is a shame cause she seemed like a bad ass at putting things together.

[techno9991]

Kari is back filming new episodes :)

[BusoRockin1000]

she wasn't getting payed enough so she left

[ganymedeIV4]

hah damn well you have to be on the show for awhile to make more money,

It's not like the actors&actresses of "friends" started out making 400,000$ an episode.

but hey man, thanks for the explanation, i had no idea what happened to that scotty gal, just up and disappeared.

Anyone else like mythbusters more when it was just Adam and Jamie?

[ufoflyer07]

@BusoRockin1000 not true she just had her baby. Remember she was pregnent.

[BusoRockin1000]

not Kari Scotty the blond tattooed girl from the first couple of seasons

[SuperWeaves]

Will she be back?

[tuckerdudetv]

no she wown't be back

[20lbsledge]

My favorite Episode "ARENA"

[Mythbusterfan01]

torri had better acting than the origional clip

[loho174]

nth is wrong with jessi she's been helping out wit the show for a very long time!

[TheModernGuy]

When will Kari come back? I hate this weird poser idiot they have filling in for her!

[FunkyMonkeyMachine]

Kari had a baby dude, that stuff ain't short....

[Haloya101]

@TheModernGuy Agreed.

[ufoflyer07]

@Ellinarkkari Well Kari just had her baby so I think they brought in Jessi to temporarily take her place since Kari as to take care of her newborn.

[Murries4You]

im pretty sure kari is still on the show but she was pregnant so she is most likely just taking time off

[redenigma00]

She said she was having a mini mythbuster (maternaty leave).

[DarkShino01]

true Kari was way cooler

[stripeyg]

I think it's appropriate that Jessi is wearing a redshirt.

[dropkicktype]

Yea Go Mythbusters

[Shadow4Four]

Kari Was The Shit Man! She Was Crazy For Science & Fucking Hott! This Bitch With The Pig Noes Can Suck A My Cock!

[WhatTheHeckAnimation]

NOOOOO KARI!!!! :(

[RtdXyron]

i say confirmed

[FuturamaFanatic825]

Jessi is cool and all, but to me she didn't have the passion for the show that Kari did. Jessi sounds more along the lines of "yeah...I'm here because they pay me. YAY SCIENCE!"

[2DMARDIVUSMC]

Kewl video!

[MrLexkilla]

Jessi is the to replace kari she is hotter and dont have any kids

[DOWATTS]

@MrLexkilla i think shes on a maternity leave or somethin

[MrLexkilla]

yeah she be back like in a haf a year r so

[Bongwyre]

Jessi is boring looking, she looks like a billion other chicks on TV, Kari was hot, intelligent and cool.

[WhatTheHeckAnimation]

agreed! I want Kari back!

[Bongwyre]

Kari loved being there. I hope she's back soon.

She was a chick you could drink a beer with.

[RtdXyron]

hotter? she doesn't come close to kari...

[itsjimmy2009]

I used to beat off over Kari!!!

[fmscribs]

I'll say it's going to be....BUSTED.

I don't think the bamboo cannon can withstand the internal explosion. But I still can't wait to watch it.

I wonder if they drove to the same park that the episode "Arena" was shot at? That would be a nice touch.
