Mythbusters: 1,000,000 match bomb!

[FurryFootBall]

know what.... im going to do this... but only 100,000 matches. it will be fun

[64MojoMan]

We have main engine start!

[TheDrugEffect]

So.. if I burn 1.000.001 matches, Adam will come to Norway just to kick my ass? ....Burn ALL the matches! :D

[MCclarin100]

so i have to burn a million matches so that i can get Jamie and Adam autograph ? ^^

[Ntdal]

... if you do this at your home, you get adam on the door... challenge accepted!

[Gripfang]

Now if they'd packed it with sand, sealed it tight and stuck it in a hole.

boom. :D

[theskullbuster1]

I tried it at home

[theskullbuster1]

I tried it at home

[Godl1keNL]

Dont try this at home, seriously do you think im going to cut up and pay 1 million matches ánd burn my house at the same time?! Maybe do it at John's place alright :P

[855husky]

"I feel like its gonna be like a giant freaking flashbulb." lol

[TheLinwoodboy]

i live in sc Scotland so try kicking ma ass lol

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

@TheLinwoodboy He makes millions, he could afford to

[TheLinwoodboy]

@DEATHBYFLYINGCDS too far man it was joke

[DEATHBYFLYINGCDS]

@TheLinwoodboy With all the cocky jackasses in the world, one can never be sure.

[TheLinwoodboy]

@DEATHBYFLYINGCDS kl

[simonsioma]

i tried this at home so come try to "kick my butt" il be waiting!! douche!!

[iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1]

nice, this is my chance to meet u guys, i'll do it with 2 million!!!

[infyrno917]

how can they label this a bomb if it's not sealed?

[PresidentGasmann]

it starts at 3:43

[utubesuks12345]

Ok mythbusters dont just light them.... detonate them ... THEN YOU WILL see something exciting ... Matches are actually rated as High Explosive (unless they changed the formula)... Detonate them dont just burn them ... much more exciting. Come on step it up one lol... Ive done it and its great ...

[MrFIJIBULA]

DO IT WITH 1million SPARKLES : D

[Sunflamer]

Am I the only one who thinks trying this out with 10 mil would not only be the coolest and the most tedious job ever, all at the same time, but would also make an awesome viral video. Not only that but the disclaimer at the end with Adam only makes me want to do that even more. Even if it is for ass kicking, it would be awesome to meet him live :D

[Sjiiit]

I've always wanted them to come visit,...

MOM, WHERE R THE MATCHES?!

[Rotpig]

wow what a waste of time for all involved.

[Rotpig]

Who gives a shit if it gets recycled?!?!??

[mmokej]

now do a billion!

[TheMy221]

i did do it at home

[iGotGameDoU]

no if u search and learn more about stuff like this u can figure out other materials that u could add to make an explosion that causes damage instead of just a flare and adding nails metal bbs and other things like that its more lethal

[DebitelGR]

Someone can't count...

[BOBthatsright]

they should have started the matches from the bottem of the barrle

[AtoForestmountain]

This should be added in the Guiness Record Book

[Masterdavid1998]

waste of time, try the world biggest light match

[Masterdavid1998]

try 50 million

[djstevy]

4:57 i will cut 2 milion matches, put them in my school, i will hold my but inside of it but i will try to stay out as much as possible, therefore you won't be able to kick my but since it is desintegrated.

and @Xarmosch hello fellow 9gagger!

[Xarmosch]

Adam Savage will come and kick my butt, if I do that at home?

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!

Fuck Yea!

[MrZluth]

4:58 , OK savage!

[hardstylefisherman]

wow my fart on youtube :D

[JackBrunningVlogs]

for Adam Savage to come to my house and kick my butt would be an honour.

[1CRAZYMF249]

boring

[GlitchGremlin123]

74 people didn't DE ASS! the area with the quickness

[888zac2]

Or wats left of ur house

[ChasmMouth]

@Greenmachine0123 read the description.... 1,000,000 is LESS THAN 9,999,999

[turner006]

@Greenmachine0123 Actually they gave you more than they said seen as it's 1,000,000 matches. I think you mean 999,999.

[VuurwerkPyromanics]

thats all?

[OfolenWS]

Do NOT try this at home... Okay, home is definitely not the smartest place to try this. How about a bomb range?

[JOEMMONSTER]

dont try this at home, try this at school!!

[PluralP]

Works better if u dont chop off the whole match head, just the brown stuff. And then put in sanded stuff (striking part) from the side of the match box :) gunpowder sort of

[thefoxdude]

0:23 youtubeception

[mikefkingstrutter]

should of sealed the drum

[Jer1cho91]

@mikefkingstrutter that would have been dangerous as fuck...and loud. really loud....

[hipieman333]

I promise i wont do this....I'll do it with 1,000,001 matches ;)

[lazy4295]

If mythbusters comes to my home personally that would probably just make me really, really happy. Adam's threat is busted! ^^

[yoyofargo]

One bucket, one fuse, less than a pound of commercial black powder evenly spread at the bottom, about 50lbs of flour or coffee creamer on top of that (use paper to separate)... = same thing... just cheaper.

[Differencemade]

It would be interesting to see the difference from lighting the bottom of the pile rather that the top.

[deaftodd]

put a lid on it

[markoj9012]

there is no 8:00



[hristijank2]

@markoj9012 of course there isnt 8:00 the video lasts 5:19, but what there isnt is 5:18

[TheDennyDane]

I never really liked the ozone layer anyways

[CrypticMovies]

when you cut of a million meth heads

[Cejo871]

Starts at 3:41 Your welcome

[xxch3ls34grinxx]

I wont try this at home, im trying it outside, how stupid do you think i am?

[iYur1j]

со столько КэЦэ можно купить пол галактики!

[petitebete]

One question : why ?

[ClawJourney]

Me too I died

[TheFennahh]

i tried it at home.

[2FAST4UProductionsTV]

this time lets do 999 billion :D



[holypredator]

Im trying this at home ....

but jamie isnt here yet : (

[SAMFICOM]

I was going to write the comment oh how to make real bomb out matches, but then realized how many idiots may actually try it and die from explosion. I think Mythbusters realized the same, so they ended up with this crap.

[TheMilan121]

Dad: well kids what did we learn?

kids: don't play with fire

Dad: alright than, should we make a match bomb?

Kids: .......... oke!

XD

[TheMoatzie]

Is that what dragons look like?

[BJHawk53]

I'll try it at home and send video to them, I wanna see Adam travel across half of the globe to get me :D

[moabfool]

Don't try this at home. Try it at someone else's home.

[GeenHandicap12]

@moabfool No, don't do that either! :D

[AbsoloutelyNothing]

@moabfool or work...

[Fire2god]

@moabfool not in the back yard do it in his kitchen

[Lesuey07]

@moabfool Or just put a cannonball through it.

[gilbertcraighay]

hey guess what ive dont this at home but i added lighter fluid and other flamible things it was awsome and im only 17

[Nathbeckon]

I have don it at home before but not a 1000000 I did it at 50000 my f@!king phone went flat

You can not get me because I live in Australia

[aboujp]

not bad

[papavanuatu]

That was pretty awesome. But with some minor changes, you can demolish a car, or blow off your hand and foot with way fewer matches. With just one book of matches, I almost blew off my thumb and forefinger over 30 years ago. A friend of a friend heard about it, and he was the guy who blew off his hand and foot... So, yeah, don't try this at home, kids!!!!

[98mrigor]

holy shit !!

[TheNoob131]

ITS OVER 9000!!!

[48hash]

I counted 1,000,001

[hallonsoda12]

Chuck Norris would do that by himself, with his feet!

[timtheboy2010]

I MUST TRY THIS!

[starflame34]

IT'S OVER 9000!

[HogwartsOnMinecraft]

erm.. heey adam.. i kinda... erm... the camera's lens cover was on....

[loverange32]

Fireball at 4:00 Like so everyone can see it!:D

[dntmesswitme098]

too late :)



[Cartmen554]

Try 3 million

[48hash]

Try 1 Goggle

[therealjammit]

@48hash We can't do a googol. There's only 10^82 atoms in the observable universe. A googol is 10^100.

/---the more you know---/

[MLink96]

Come to my house please! I SOO did that at home!

[huynhquoctuan361]

D: i counted and there's only 999,999 match heads. 

[ssaannddaassssaamm]

i tried it at home:)

[miniclip83]

or get match boxes :| not books

[DutchGuy98]

how do you no you have 1000000

[tinit5190]

@DutchGuy98 It's simple. There are 20 matches in a pack. So they opened 50,000 match packs. Simple math my friend.

[DutchGuy98]

@tinit5190 i no. But you can't control it.

[YiuTeub]

When does the bomb go off? Bombs explode. That was a flamethrower.

[Downfacingdog]

What about climate change?

[AEgamesFtw]

I wish that the barrel was turned on its side and they put like a cardboard person facing the blast.

[dblancer]

In NZ, we just have BOXES of matches of 50 matches, alot easier to assemble a large quantity. =)

[michalchik]

If they tried a googol it would more than file the known universe. I don't think they should try a googol. Something bad might happen like it would collapse the universe into a black hole.

[TimeFliesStudios]

there was only 999,993

[mihait5]

I"ve GOT to try tis at HOME!!

[Thekaiserwill]

Guys please try 100 trillion.

[hyronimaru617]

a giant freaking flash bomb

[tariqmubashir123]

Fools.



[dooombringerrr]

They should light a million farts.

[MrGan1997]

Try 1 centrillion!

[TylerIsEpic11]

I counted 999,999 :/

[ssp13609]

@TylerIsEpic11 ur stupid

[criuth]

@TylerIsEpic11 they also counted one less intern at the end of filming... *when Adam was walking around the studio and doing his chinwag, he drops a book of matches. The unfortunate intern accidentally stepped on it, crushing one matchhead beyond salvage. It is not clear whether Adam savaged him or if he is a hynemanated*

[Dennis060796]

@TylerIsEpic11: That couldn't be true, because they didn't show us the full video of them unpacking all the 1 million matches :D

[ActiveOnlinePlayer]

@TylerIsEpic11 Haha, funny..

1) You can't count them.

2) You're a copycat

[SuperEroticJesus]

100 lbs of Sodium in a bathtub filled with water. Anyone who knows their chemistry will know that would get a big boom.

[penguinparty1000]

TRY THIS MYTHBUSTERS:1,000,000,000,000,­000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00­0,000,000,000,000,000!!!

[EumlOriginal]

1.000.000 + 1Kg Magnesium ...

[Chonpeeps]

5:00 challenge accepted

[linkolnbase]

@Chonpeeps yeah man .. =D

[stuchly1]

@Chonpeeps I guess I'll have to do this if I ever wanna meet Adam personally... xxD

[TheJak314]

de ass the area

[paulweerheim]

Try one googel

[KingWoody678]

thumbs up if you want to try this at a friend's house.

[jayr122001]

try 1 killion

[HunterisaKiller99]

Why not just buy match heads -_-

[NebulusJones]

Sorry mother earth

[MessorGrim20]

thats only 999.999 matches



[MrDmitryC]

КЦ!!!

[jasonchuu]

instead of wasting time cutting 1m matches why dont they just calculate the mass of phosphorus on 1 match and multiply by 1 million and use corresponding amount of phosphorous?

[pxdud]

@jasonchuu because mythbusters are shit =p

[quanze000]

im gonna try it just so that mythbusters can come to my house and visit me :D

[justtalkify]

ITS OVER 9000!

[g1bon85]

The Mythbusters have created a bomb out of 1,000,000 (million) matches. As a part of THEIR "You Tube Special". Enjoy!

really?

[AusShinDig]

Wish they had pressurised it.



[spinaway]

It could never haver exploded because the energy wasnt contained as the top of the Barrel was open, conclusion CRAP.

[dreamer32993]

anybody wants to try it?..

[RavageRippers]

Fine. I wont try it at home

*calls friend*

Can I come over?

[legitgoldfish]

Mom: What are you doing?

Me: oh just making a million match head bomb

Mom: Oh ok

Ten seconds later

Mom: Wait what the fuck

[roflcat100]

why dont they buy boxes so they dont have to tear

[lollercheese]

@roflcat100 because the boxes generally contain wooden matches which are harder to cut if it can even be done

[WalkingDoodle]

@roflcat100 Buying the book form makes it easier. They're thiner so easier to cut, and because they're stuck together in rows it's more efficient when it comes to cutting the heads off. If they brought boxes, the matches are loose so they'd take way longer cutting a million of them.

[tsoMephistopheles]

Anybody got a spare match or two?

[MrPenfold84]

That would have cost a pretty penny to buy a million matches.

[MrTannerwilliam]

It was like the small one but only bigger....duh

[rafko250]

now im gonna try this at home jut to get him to try and kick my but

[2blevin]

THEY FORGOT THE THERMITE!!!

[LoveStickMans]

0:12 Swedish video !!!

[demonsparkx]

why not over NINE THO....... nvm fuck it

[er10b]

Now, where can I find a million matches, a 44 gallon drum and some fuse?

[LoveStickMans]

@er10b At IKEA of course

[Straylight100]

It should be called Million Match FLARE, cos uncompressed it isn't an explosion. They forgot to pack them in tight & seal the drum. All in all.....FAIL

[Taze00]

they should try that while its tightly sealed and it would be a huge blast

[UFOENGINE]

12 hours of cutting for a few seconds lol

[fyaq5130]

i wanna do it at home , but i cant afford it. its gonna cost like $40,000

[333hab]

How in the hell did I get from dubstep to here?

[EpicBlueSpikes]

QUICK DEASS THE AREA!!!!

[haraldaus113]

do it with one billion matches

[stephen98841272]

At 3:26 I was thinking, FUCK!

[TripleThreat01032000]

TRY 10 BILLION

[CST1992]

@TripleThreat01032000 fucking nuke

[chibraxial]

Too bad they didn't remove all the wood

[Nicmadis]

@chibraxial Think that made it bigger. Fuel for the fire. Wonder if they had cut just a little less off, would that have made the whoosh bigger?

[niccaninu]

do one with 500 milon matches !!!!!

[getbent3133]

I've already got 500000 match heads ready. Taken nearly 3 weeks :/ Only another 3 to go until the big day =D

[Mr0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0]

ill do it just to have the mythbusters at my home kicking my butt...what a privilege :D

[SirAwesomecake]

I prefer the voiceover dude from the British version of this program. This dude sounds too patronising.

[TheOwner2580]

@DontPlayWithChemicals *1 Day Later*

I Only counted 999,999.

[rock4ever38]

a mon avis l’explosion ne vaut pas tt le travail fournis par le découpage des allumettes, vous pouvez obtenir le mm redu (voir mieux) avec un autre mécanisme...

mais c quan mm impressionnant! ^^

[iamgodlike91]

i'm trying this at home...

[TheOwner2580]

I only counted 9,999,999.

[Shadowwarrior50]

So does antone know where i can get 1,000,000 matches for a good price? :)

[lithium2017]
