Choose a Mythbuster to teach you
Posted by endangeredpenguin@reddit | mythbusters | View on Reddit | 35 comments
Of all the mythbusters that have been on the show who would choose to be your teacher be it in elementary, high school or college? I would have chosen Grant, he is very knowledgable about things that would hold my attention

I wanted to meet grant the most as a kid. He's probably the only celebrity that I was upset about their death.

Damn. Almost tearing up being reminded.

Adam, Grant or Kari. I just think I’d. I be with them the most. As a teacher myself, I think Kari seems the most adaptable to other people’s personalities, and I think she’d be the one people’s learn the most from.

Elementary school: Adam Middle school: Kari Highschool: Tory College: Grant Grad school: Jamie

I would personally swap Adam and Tory at the very least, or swap Tory to Elementary, Grant to High School, and Adam to College. Either works for me.

Stealing from you but making a few small adjustments.
Elementary school: Adam, you know he loves kids.
Middle school: Kari, cool, fun, and, well, I don't need to say much else.
Highschool: Tory, you'll be the coolest kid in school if you're hanging out with him.
College: Grant, he'll get you through any advanced courses, and do it enthusiastically. I'm skipping out on Jamie just because he's probably a little too gruff at times for me.
Employment: Adam again. I've learned so much about my career and life and management from him.

Jamie is the grumpy old journeyman who doesn't mind training the new guy, but will also summarily ban you from touching the equipment for a first offense.
MobiusSonOfTrobius@reddit
Yeah, he's the guy who can do anything in the shop but be nice to his colleagues
RufusTheDeer@reddit
Middle school me was already very distracted by Kari.
IOrocketscience@reddit
That was part of my reasoning, that and middle school is when a lot of girls fall out of STEM so I thought having a role model like Kari would be good.
Enthrall the boys, inspire the girls
MobiusSonOfTrobius@reddit
I agree! Kari's an interesting case because while she's been a great science educator over the years, she was originally a sculptor by background specifically and I think still produces some work here and there.
That's a specific type of art that has a lot of skill set overlap with the sort of DIY projects Mythbusters would often have but I always dug that she did not have a explicitly STEM background but could still hang with the rest of the main cast who all had more direct engineering or special effects experience.

Eh, most middle school boys probably wouldn't actually give a second glance to Kari. I mean.. I would have.... but I was not "most".
Garrett4Real@reddit
This is the way
Sasheoka@reddit
This is a great response.
MxBuster@reddit
100% Jamie. He has hidden depths.
butt_honcho@reddit
For one-on-one tutoring, Adam.
Only-Ad5049@reddit
Early in the show, definitely Jamie. I read Adam’s book and he had lots of good things to say about Jamie. I also saw how he treated the interns on the show.
Later in the show I think Adam had matured enough that I think he would have been a good teacher as well.
ghoulthebraineater@reddit
That's exactly my thoughts. Adam was just a bit much early on. I absolutely love his channel now though.
Gutter_Snoop@reddit
Adam would have been a fantastic elementary school teacher. He's basically an adult with an 8 yr old persona
KaijuDirectorOO7@reddit
Jaime.
UnintelligibleMaker@reddit
Same.
Spock-1701@reddit
Adam

Adam. I've met him and he is the nicest guy and he explains things in a way my ADHD brain understands.

Elementary: Grant Middle: Kari High school: Adam Undergrad: Tory Grad: Jamie

I'm studying to become a secondary school science teacher and one of my Moral/Behavioral Paragons is Adam Savage. So...
mlnm_falcon@reddit
Grant from middle school onwards, I ended up working in a job/industry that is most similar to him. I ended up in this field primarily because it interested me.
uscarbinecal30m1@reddit
Grant for science/ engineering Kari for art Adam for chemistry / blowing stuff up Tory for...metal shop or similar Jamie would be in administration, he doesn't seem like he has the patience to teach Scottie for welding / vocational
Elderberry-West@reddit
I would say adam. I really like his. It doesnt have to be perfect. It just needs to be what you want it to be. style
AnnaNass@reddit
Forget school, I want Adam as a grandpa.
Pirate_Lantern@reddit
Either Adam or Scottie. Both are really smart and both would make it fun.
Unusual_Drama2191@reddit
I would have chosen Grant, may he RIP.
HonestAbek@reddit
Jamie. I’m too much like Adam and we’d never get anything done. Jamie is going to teach you the right way to do it and why, and tell you why short cuts are for idiots
Echo-Azure@reddit
Adam. IMHO he's the most fun.
Second choice, Tori, because you can egg him on until he hurts himself.
424Impala67@reddit
Tory, he's wicked smart, can easily code switch to talk with any group, and probably would be able to teach just about anyone no matter how they learn.
Carlosfusa@reddit
Grant for sure
