* The Ming Dynasty Astronaut Myth. Basically, it's the myth that an wealthy astronomer from the Ming Dynasty strapped 47 rockets to his throne and, as eyewitnesses said, went into orbit in a puff of smoke, never to be seen again. After hearing that, we all know what really happened, but the humor comes in at the confirmation via giant explosion: in that puff of smoke, he didn't go up into orbit, he evaporated.
* Here's a video of Adam Savage [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdOsn4eesg8&hd=1 singing "I Will Survive"] {{spoiler|...as [[The Lord of the Rings|Gollum]]}}.
* You can tell from the name of the "Alcohol Myths" episode that it's going to be very funny, but quite ''how'' funny, you might not guess. Suffice to say, Adam, Jamie, and Kari are all hilarious drunks, but the highlight has to be Adam's attempt to test claims that exercise sobers you up quickly by running on a treadmill...which he falls off of. Twice.
** Followed by Adam testing the claim that a slap to the face (provided by Jamie) will sober you up. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2seiHua3Fc The high-speed footage was hysterical].
