I really enjoyed the accidents mishaps and when results were more extreme then ww all expected. Very entertaining
Adam and tori have done a lot to boost the show. I was entertained based on their sufferings hahaha

I liked when they failed and had to figure out problems.
Later seasons it was too formulated/perfect and felt like they lost some soul

They changed the tone to be more accepted by the masses and then the niche people who really enjoyed this stuff from the get go got a watered down politically correct show. I specifically didnt like when they started putting prompts of social .media comments and it was more about the video production aesthetics.

I enjoyed it when they were safe and it was beyond what was expected and security measures that seemed over the top were suddenly very important.
I didn’t like it when they just did something stupid and almost got hurt for not taking their time, like Tory’s bike accident in one of the very early episodes, or various fires and things that almost hurt people.
They took gun safety very seriously, and they made overtures at safety a lot of other times, but there were definitely times I watched the show and thought “wow, I’m surprised they all have all their fingers”.

Testing the civil war rocket in the shop was a move I still can't believe they thought was remotely a good idea. I watched that episode for the first time in years recently, and I was absolutely stunned they didn't a) have the fire department on hand for and b) need to call the fire department to put out the blaze.

Anyone remember the safety squints while watching the welder during the lighter explosion episode?

Obviously they were aware, since they milked it all the way throughout the rest of the series,but tori bike crash is very amusing.
It happened at a time when the only competition for unscripted real life stuff was America funniest home videos which makes me wonder if it would be as big of a deal today.

The coffee creamer explosion when Kari, Grant, and Tori all ran up the hill in terror when it went WAY bigger than they expected.
