Rewatching Mythbusters, I can’t stand Kari.
Posted by Interesting_Salt9217@reddit | mythbusters | View on Reddit | 28 comments
So I used to watching Mythbusters years ago and last month I decided to binge watch every seasons. The problem is I now find Kari insufferable, it was alright the first few seasons when Scottie was there but now I honestly skip every segments of the build team and just watch Jamie and Adam. Anybody else feels like this?

I can't stand her at all either. The way she dresses with and the constant pig tails are just annoying as all hell. It seems as if her LOOKS were more important than the science.
Creative_Ad9636@reddit
I think Kari is annoying and her personality seems fake and forced. She is always trying to have the last funny word in a way that is so hard to watch.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, mate. Kari is cutesy filler that distracts from not just mechanics/science of the show, but also the weird dichotomy of Adam and Jamie. Grant, RIP, was a vast improvement, and the highlight of the build team. All in all, this addition was a dilution of the show’s premise and appeal.

You’re not alone. There are dozens of us!

Really? Doesn't bother me.

This is a very weird way of saying "I am emotionally damaged"

Kari was charming, clever, attractive and even funny. Safe to say I was a fan, but you’re entitled to your opinion

Not ashamed to admit I had a huge celebrity crush on Kari back in the day. Kari slander (outside of her oil rig fiasco) is simply not tolerated
Paul-E-L@reddit
What was the oil rig fiasco?
TheGleanerBaldwin@reddit
Probably the commercial for an oil company she did. Something about how technology advances that it was just completely unfathomable for the internet to deal with that suddenly she's a bad person

What? I’m all about the B team, love Kari.
Sorry, can’t get on board with this one.
dragonshardz@reddit
I wanted to be Kari when I was little, so...yeah, you might be the only one who dislikes her.
Meowsteroshi@reddit
I mean you give absolutely zero reasons as to why so idk how to respond. Personally, I adore em all. Take any out of the equation and the vibes would be off. One of the best group dynamics for a show imo.
Interesting_Salt9217@reddit (OP)
I feel like she overplayed the girly team member in the first seasons and she always seems to really exaggerate every reactions she has. I know the show is staged and scripted but I feel like it’s in my face with her. Not that I don’t see that with the other members (even Adam, can’t really say Jamie overplays his reactions) but, I don’t know, sometime you just can’t stand someone. Although, I respect the fact that most people seem to enjoy the trio.

I can see what you mean, i see it in more Tori with his “wow cool dude” attitude
But all of them are over acting and corny? But then I think to myself that 1: it’s target audience had a lot of kids 2: it would be boring if they didn’t add any humour 3: they aren’t actors, they were production people first
robjwrd@reddit
Exactly your first point, it was aimed at kids and the OP doesn’t seem to have grasped that concept lol.
Meowsteroshi@reddit
I can see how that would annoy some. For me I just liked how the trio grew over time. Mid seasons the myths they tackled a lot of the time were more interesting to me and more enjoyable with how they approached them.
Also: pretty sure Kari would humble every single person in this sub with her skills/experience she gained throughout the shows runtime lol

That’s why I’m a bit salty, unfortunately :(

“Am I the only one who dislikes Kari?”
Yes. Yes you are.
cgw3737@reddit
I like Kari.
R67H@reddit
Yes. Yes you are. Who hurt you?!?
N00dles_Pt@reddit
I didn't really dislike any of them, but I for sure rather watch the Jamie and Adam segments than the b-team segments.
Interesting_Salt9217@reddit (OP)
I like Tory and Grant, I even like Scottie when she was there. But I don’t know there is something about Kari, she gets under my skin.
hdean667@reddit
Yeah, I'm thinking you've been damaged in your childhood.
In all seriousness, I actually never much cared for Scottie. I like Kari. But, hey, I hate Everybody Loves Raymond because I hate his wife, mother, and brother. That show was a big hit. Probably I was damaged in my childhood.

So you woke up today and chose violence
DisciplineShot2872@reddit
Just like Kari herself.
