The Mythbusters theme is a parody of the Discovery Channel show "MythBusters". It revolves around the show's hosts, Adam and Jamie, attempting to confirm or disprove often absurd urban legends. Their attempts to do so often use explosives, usually resulting in either one or both of them dying.
Characters[]
Adam often particpates in dangerous experiments without considering the effects they might have on him. He was the first of the two to be killed by an experiment.
Jamie is the wiser and more cautious of the two, but occasionally falls victim to the experiments.
