Many television shows aspire to “go out with a bang” in their final season, but MythBusters is taking that one step further with “The Mother of All Glitter Bombs” in tomorrow night’s special Reddit-themed episode.

Seven months ago, co-host Adam Savage invited Reddit users to suggest ideas for the episode, writing, “If you want us to blow something up, here’s where you can tell us! Or if you’ve just got a burning desire to send something weird and wonderful to its doom courtesy of the rocket sled, then you know what to do.”

In response, Savage received over 4,000 comments filled with novel experiments, elaborate methodologies, and a few jokes about Jamie’s mustache for good measure.

“Most of the suggestions we get from around the world are terrible or they’re stuff we’ve already done,” Savage tells Upvoted, “but Reddit definitely understood what we were doing and how we do it.”

Of course, there was a small caveat: All the ideas had to be testable, something the show hadn’t done before, and PG-13.

“There is absolutely a secret list I’ve got on my computer of the MythBusters: After Dark myths,” Savage jokes. “If Cinemax from the 1980s that I used to watch when I was a teenager came back, that’s absolutely where that would go.”

But for this episode, the crew focused on a handful of carefully selected ideas—all sourced directly from redditors’ suggestions.

As MythBusters fans wait for the episode to air tomorrow night, Savage shares what they can look forward to, myth by myth.

The Flatus Machine

“Are farts visible using infrared cameras?” —Reddit user iamcomotose

“I learned the word ‘flatus’ the first time Discovery allowed us to do an entire episode devoted to farts,” Savage shares, “but their one [stipulation] was they wouldn’t allow us to use the word ‘fart.’ That’s when we learned the scientific word for fart is ‘flatus.’

“And one of the suggestions we got on Reddit, of course, was that viral video where you see people’s farts on the thermal imaging camera.”

“So,” he continues, “we realized—because we remembered from back when we did the flatus episode—it is really, really difficult to fart on command.

“It turns out that the only reliable farts you can get are first thing in the morning. Everyone has to let a few rip the first 45 minutes of the day, but it’s also really difficult to jump out of bed and hold them in, rush off to work, and hope that you’re going to get something. After talking about it, we realized we were going to need to make a fart-generating machine.”

The Paper Bag Punch-out

“Myth: ‘You can’t punch your way out of a paper bag.'” —Reddit user ihnatko

For this experiment, Savage recruited the assistance of Paul Wade, the pugilistic pro at Third Street Boxing Gym.

“He’s a fighting Irishman but he’s a Zen Buddhist,” Savage says with a laugh. “He knows how to help people get into the right head-space. It’s not like he taught me how to be a boxer in two days, but he gave me enough knowledge to make an experiment valid.”

Despite the, ahem, educational slaps to the face Savage receives as part of his training, he enjoyed his time in the ring.

“Oftentimes on MythBusters, the experts that we bring in can be one of the most fun parts of the job if they’re willing to play. You can learn a lot from them and they’re also learning. They’re having fun, too.”

The Buster Ball Drop

“I always wanted to know what happened if a person was put inside a Zorb …and thrown (well, rolled) out of a plane.” —Reddit user chicaneuk

Obviously, a human falling from the sky in a giant plastic hamster ball might be a little risky. Good thing there’s always Buster the crash test dummy.

After reading chicaneuk’s suggestion, the MythBusters hosts knew they had to include it in the special.

“It sounds ludicrous,” Savage admits, “but [Jamie and I] looked at each other and we thought, ‘We don’t actually know the answer to that!’ We suspect it would be bad, but we’re really not sure how bad it would be! And that right there just immediately goes to the top of the list.

“For us,” he explains, “dropping stuff from helicopters is never not entertaining.”

And when Savage entered the helicopter for the on-air experiment, he was greeted by a familiar sight from one of the show’s first seasons.

“When we brought out the helicopter, I said to the pilot, ‘Wow, this is a Sikorsky. You know my first ride was in a Sikorsky.’

“And he goes, ‘Yes, I know, Adam, I was your pilot and it was this helicopter, you idiot.’ I didn’t realize that we were hiring the same copter we did 14 years ago when we did the Indiana Jones story!

“I was totally amazed. There I was again, sitting in the open door with a harness on, looking out at 3,000 feet. Déjà vu all over again.”

The Mother of All Glitter Bombs

For this experiment, many users had the same general idea:

“My personal feeling about Reddit,” Savage notes, “was ‘We’ve gotta blow shit up for the finale of that episode.’ Something that’s spectacular and giant. I know how much Reddit loves #1. blowing shit up and #2. glitter bombs. So we thought we’d combine them.

“I love the explosion,” he gushes. “It’s a really good one.”

What’s Next?

After the Reddit special airs tomorrow night, Savage has just two episodes left before MythBusters comes to a close: a reunion episode with former co-hosts and the highly anticipated grand finale.

Savage remains tight-lipped regarding details of the last episode, but he assures fans it will not disappoint.

“The one tease I’ll make,” he lets on, after a bit of prying, “is that the penultimate sequence of the finale episode includes, for me personally, the best driving I have ever done in my full life. Full-stop.”

Without revealing the premise, he adds, “[For] the first ten percent of it, I couldn’t see out the front of my truck … There’s definitely a little Mad Max going on there.”

When asked what he plans to do after the last episode airs, he offers a humble response.

“I’ve been making the show longer than I’ve had any career. It’s disconcerting, at the same time that it’s also liberating. I will probably call members of my crew and commiserate. The one thing I miss the most, actually, is working with my team.

“The crew we made MythBusters with is the best crew on television. They’re like family, and we made something we were all proud of together, and that’s a rarity.”

But before Savage watches the finale and emotional reunion episode, he has this message for Reddit users eager for Saturday’s debut.

“I’m a longtime redditor, lurker, [and] commenter,” he shares. “I love the community. I hope that Reddit gets the mixture of science and horse shit that we put into this episode. Because some of it’s gratuitous and ludicrous, and some of it actually has some real science to it.”

His one regret?

“I really tried to find a way to fight 100 duck-sized horses, but I couldn’t. So that one will have to wait.”

The MythBusters “Reddit Special” airs tomorrow (Saturday, February 27) at 8 PM EST/7 PM CT, on Discovery. The series finale airs the following Saturday, March 5.
