You Spoof Discovery (viewer parodies of Mythbusters and other shows)

I saw it last night. I don't know when it's on again.

My favorite was "Time Flies When You're Having Fun," which was a parody of Mythbusters.

"Jamie" and "Adam" (they were very accurate lookalikes) wore identical watches that were synchronized.

While "Jamie" stood still, "Adam" ran around and had fun.

When they were done, their watches still had the same time.

So the myth of "Time Flies When You're Having Fun" was busted.

Caught this - while also switching between the Oscars and The Amazing Race.

Verry sillly:

Mythbusters: "Is water really wet?"

FutureWeapons: "Hi I'm Richard Machowicz - former Navy SEAL and all-around stud!"

Deadliest Catch -> Deadliest Batch

No poll, Grundle? Is that legal?

I don't know how to do polls. You must have me confused with someone else.

Doesn't look like it's scheduled to rebroadcast again, but as Mike Rowe (host of Dirty Jobs and narrator on American Chopper, American Hot Rod and Deadliest Catch) may have mentioned, the spoofs can be seen online at www.discovery.com/spoof .

The Mythbuster "Time Flys" was pretty good; those guys had Adam and Jamie mannerisms down too. And I liked the Animated Mythbusters if just for the expression, "Holy Shark Week!"

There were more clinkers than good ones, but a few were definitely worthwhile.
