i reject your reality and substitute it with my own...
@Adam Savage’s Tested Ive started using my own version of this I reject your morals and substeute my own
@Hush Whisper naw
@Justin Jones "silly" I can prove you wrong. Come see what I found on my channel.."silly".
Is it cold in there?
Daw, this brought tears. 😊 I always loved the show because everyone seemed to have this... ALIVE sense of wonder. Thank you so much for being you. And for sharing your energy and enthusiasm with the world. 🙏❤️
As someone who works in research, we do screw around a lot.
it might not be your joke, but my 11 year old has taken it on as his mantra and uses you as his source material for it!
"Quack damn you" Jamie Hyneman
PhD scientist here. I'm convinced that the only reason I haven't been fired for screwing around on the job is because I've written it down.
Baw! I've been giving you credit for that quote for decades! LOL!
My favorite phrase of yours (and Jaime’s I believe) was uttered several times in the history of the show. I remember it specifically (or perhaps erroneously) from the water heater explosion episode. Looking at what was left of the water heater I believe you said, “Well there’s your problem.”
SMOO!!!
Such iconic lines from this show, several of which will be around long after anyone recalls where they originated.
Thanks Adam, that was great! Really miss Mythbusters- You "Reality TV" (which you substituted-in!) was SOOO much better than all of the current "Reality" TV shows around today. My current favorite quote is, "I don't claim to know everything. I know everything else." :)
Adam just radiates happiness. It's impossible to watch this and not smile :)
My favorite quote is when Jamie was in a full bomb suit, and Adam turned to the camera and said something like, "This is similar to what Jamie wore when he first came to Earth", hahaha. EDIT: I think it was in the MacGyver episode.
"The only difference between science and screwing around is writing it down" is still my favorite quote from the show, but "I reject your reality..." is a close second, lol
"Am I missing an eyebrow?"
Screwing around + notepad = science 🤯
The fact that the quote wasn't yours was actually a joke on a FIworld series (SAO Abridged)
Civilization VI took one of your quotes! “Let’s get on our knees and pray. I don’t know to whom. Is there a patron saint of ballistics yet?”
I was going to comment about my favourite quote from the show, and he ended the video with it! As a scientist, thank you, Adam!
I reject your reality and substitute my own
"Quack, damn you!"
I work in music, so because of all the various technical problems I have to solve, I get to say “well there’s your problem” quite often, usually to the annoyance of my co workers.
Now I want to know if that guy messed with the preacher XD
"The only difference between science and screwing around...." Man, I used to say that when I was like, 11, screwing around, writing it down. Good stuff!
The science cycle: 1. Screw around, 2. Write it down, 3. Ponder. Repeat.
The birth of "Fake News"
Can you saw handg**? Is that allowed? I'm scared 😳
Wanda Maximoff is Adam, confirmed
"Jamie like big boom"
“SOMETHING JUST TOUCHED ME! “ - Grant Imahara. That one always makes me laugh.
"Failure is always an option."
The first time I watched Captain America, young Howard Stark gets blown down, sits up and says "write that down!" My first thought... "The only difference between science and screwing around, is writing it down." My mom's favorite quote... "Am I missing an eyebrow?" She blew hers off once, while lighting an oven pilot light.
"Nice, Dungeon Master!" "What the hell is Dungeon Master"
its funny i just thought of that quote and searched where i remembered it from and you are the first result with a recent explanation about its true origin .... makes you wonder about coincidences; cheers Adam , long time no see , my condolences about Grant, he was cool.
Flawless!
I think my favorite is, "the difference between science and screwing around is writing it down." Now, I always check to see if someone's writing down their findings when they seem to be screwing around.
If anyone's wondering the 'this is a robbery' quote is from Blow Your Own Sail (Season 9 Episode 6 I think) and the myth they're testing is Hollywood sound effects. Just in case you wanted to know. And wanted to avoid spending 45 minutes trying to find it because you can't let it drop til you've heard it.
Has Adam ever tried to replicate some of that Dutch beach artist's (possibly en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theo_Jansen) flotsam/jetsam-built self-propelling/wind-powered machines? /That/ would be an episode worth watching!
I could listen to these stories all the time. I've used the phrase "well there's your problem!" :more than once D
Frank sounds like the kind of guy I would like to hang out with.
"Quack damn you"
Am I missing an Eyebrow?
(fire alarm blazing) "Am I missing an eyebrow?!?!" -Adam Savage
I just realized that i say "Well there's you're problem" at least once a week at work because of mythbusters.
Hang on just a second - ad comes on, lol
Que the SAO Abridged Quotes
A butchered joke you say? I see you haven't seen the trainwreck that is the spanish dub... (And other dubs I guess)
Science is totally the art of screwing around... and then writing it down.
It sounded and felt so cool, hearing Adam explain that last joke. You could really see how important that quote is to him. Appreciate you sharing that with us, Adam
Sadly there are a lot of conspiracy nutters nowadays that also reject reality.
Talk about rejecting our reality and substituting your own... by MY calculations, one hour minus 41 and a half minutes is 18 and a half minutes, not 8.
I remember watching that episode when it originally aired, I was 9 at my cousin's house, and Mythbusters was the only "Adult" show we could watch, and that timing was awesome. I've had to bite my tongue so many times at work and life for thinking this, and not saying it to higher ups. ...and the phrase about writing it down, yeah I though it was funny until my first midnight lab report Freshman year of college... then I'm cursing it... but it's awesome, couldn't be more true. Thank you Adam!!!
2:46 Favorite saying/meme from Mythbusters? I would have to go with the classic "Am I missing an eyebrow?"
*SAO Abridged flashbacks*
Dude, James Randi!
Could have saved hours on the Biscuits, just go to Redding or Red Bluff in the Summer!
From one of the international shark episodes, Grant and Tory exchanging some friendly digs at each other: Tory: I hear they like sushi! Grant: Oh yeah? I hear they like Italian!
"Am i missing an eyebrow?"
I remember, yeeeeears back now, seeing a FIworld reviewer watching Dungeon Master (I think it was TheSpoonyOne), and commenting on it being the birthplace of your most famous quote. Personally, I agree that "Well there's your problem!" was a nice, simple way to get me to busy a gut, and I have to admit, it's become a part of my humour.
I think the context of the line was that Adam had just given some estimated percentage chances of certain events happening, but they didn't add up to 100%. This was pointed out (by a member of production crew I think), and Adam went back over his percentages, got confused / irritated at being wrong, and then said the line.
I wonder if it was this moment that brought it to Kyle's attention... fiworld.info/goon/c33OmnHD0qacg6s/videot.html
I use "well there's yer problem" all the time.
"And substitute with my own!"
Always been one of my favorite quotes
I miss Mythbusters on TV :(
"Am I missing an eyebrow?" That's the one I'm sticking with as my favorite.
Adam, please ask Jamie which of his quotes he'd be ok with you sharing. I'd love to hear them!
Adam's voice and looks remind me to Mr. Robot (Christian Slater)
"When in doubt... C4" - Jamie Hyneman
Adam- Still salty. He is a treasure.
i bought an "i reject your reality and substitute my own" mug from zazzle (2:1 aspect ratio for the perfect quantity of hot caffeinated beverage, printed on both sides for ambidextrous use) when i was in a relationship with a narcissist as a way of flipping them the bird without inciting a ragestorm. i got tf out of the relationship like 6 yrs ago but still love the mug. :}
Off topic What is the minimum safe ice thickness for both Star Wars At-At's and Godzilla?
Sooooo, is there a chance we'll see Adam on a Best of the Worst?
I REAAALLLLY want Adam to be a Guest on Guest Grumps
Ahahaha omg he busted Peter Popoff? My biggest kudos!
I'll never forget the night, something like 12 years ago, when I watched The Dungeonmaster in a friend's basement. We were just in the habit of watching bad cult movies, and I had NO idea the "reject your reality" line was coming. I was out of sorts for the rest of the evening. I've definitely used the "Difference between science and screwing around..." and "Well THERE'S your problem!" lines in conversation many times over the years. Another one I've used a couple times is "That knocked the doorknob right out of his FACE!" but that one's a little harder to find an occasion for.
This is how the media screw with the meaning of science. Adam believes he's involved in science, not vaguely.
Every since I heard you say this phrase, it has made it’s way into my every day language.
I can watch Adam talk all day!
I have that quote on a t shirt! Small world
I use Jamie's "stay-in-there'd-ness" regularly.
Wait, Kyle Hill? THE Not-A-Supervillain Kyle Hill? I love the direction the smartubers universe is taking
RIP James Randy
They should tottally have Adam Savage on RedLetterMedia
😳😆😆😆❤️ mythbusters
Its a thing Adam ur the man.
This came up on RedLetterMedia recently, wonder if that's what prompted the question! I also had a 'heyyyy wait a second I know that line' moment.
"That's what we do here. Strap rockets to everything we see." - Adam Savage
3:43 "Hang on a sec." Then an ad show up on FIworld. Anyone else that happened to? Coincidence? I think not! ;)
My favorite quote from MythBusters is “remember kids, the only difference between screwing around and science, is writing it down”
Avuncular - wow great word
Lo!
I spent YEARS trying to find the HTML code "I reject your reality and substitute my own" t-shirt you wore on the show and finally gave up. I would have rocked it with pride.
Imagine how much more immersive Adam's vlogs like this would be if he had permission to show clips from the show instead of having to describe the scene
Shout out to Kyle Hill! Y'all should do more videos together!
We need Adam on Best of the Worst!
Yep, yep, Peter Poppoff or... 💩 poff
My all time favorite is “Remember kids, the only difference between science & screwing around is writing it down”.
SWE sword art online abridged "Nice! Dungeon Master!" "What? No, Mythbusters."
