Yeah, they're funny. I just think they started out as a show that humorously applied rational methods to interesting questions to a show that does humorous stuff and occasionally applies rational methods to an interesting question.

But the ones that actually annoy me are when they spend an hour exploring a subject that has plenty of existing evidence already answering the question. For example, the show where they looked into whether you can really drive up a ramp into the back of a moving semi without shooting yourself through the front of it. Stunt drivers have only been doing this exact thing on film for about 50 years, there really isn't a myth being busted.

And I really wanted to scream at their methodology for determining whether great whites are wary of dolphins.
