Is it possible to get emotional over the end of a science show that aired for well over a decade?
If this supercut video of the most exciting and touching moments in “MythBusters” has anything to say about it, we’ll all be crying into our keyboards over the series ending last weekend.
The Vimeo video, created by Thomas Crenshaw and entitled “MythBusters Series Finale Montage,” features hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, as well as former B-team members and co-hosts Kari Byron, Tory Belleci and Grant Imahara, at their best during the 249 episodes on Discovery Channel.

“We’re longtime friends and fans of the MythBusters, and in celebration of their amazing run, we wanted to put together this homage to their 12 years of dedication to — and joy from — filming the show,” Crenshaw wrote of his video post earlier this week. “Thank you, Adam, Jamie, Kari, Grant and Tory. We’ll miss you.”
Some of the most compelling parts of these expertly edited highlights include a big rig head-on collision, Star Wars fact finding, Belleci’s painful bike wreck, rocket launches, skydiving, abuse of test dummy Buster, Hyneman slapping Savage, an underwater car escape, Savage wandering the desert in a spacesuit, and oh so many explosions and crashes.
Footage from the final “MythBusters” episode of the epic cement-truck explosion is included in the video. There’s even footage from Savage and Hyneman’s 2002 demo reel for the show before “MythBusters” became a household name.
Watch the video at your own risk — of choking up.
