Season 5
Episodes
Like a Boss
Find out how to do it like a boss. Features a record-breaking butt skipper, a woman restraining four motorcycles, and the fastest downhill bike ride ever. These guys reveal the very best of human ingenuity and perseverance by doing it like a boss.
Is This for Real?
We separate science fact from science fiction. From a woman who walks on water and a man that pumps up inner tubes with his ears, our experts ask "are they for real?," and expose the internet's best tricksters.
Man vs. Nature
We're pitting Man vs. Nature. When a glass-breaking gorilla and a speed-racing sea lion face off against a snowman in the desert and an underwater wheelchair, who comes out on top?
Epic Skills
We countdown the clips that show off the Internet legends with the most epic skills on the planet: the world's most incredible skin, the world's first tattooing toes, and a speed flier that lands inside a moving cable car.
Homemade Hotshots
We're counting down the most amazing -- and dangerous -- home experiments! We're mixing electricity with swimming pools, racing supercharged golf carts on the dragway, and setting off homemade gunpowder to finally crown the top homemade hotshot.
Wild Rides
In this episode it's not the destination that counts, it's how you get there. And the stranger the better. We're snowboarding in the clouds, quad bike riding with a koala, and looping a car in a sphere.
Brain vs. Brawn
In this episode mind and body go head to head as we pit Brain vs Brawn! We're smashing fruit with a 9-inch nail launcher, building and destroying a giant sandcastle, and kissing cobras.
Killer Builds
We're displaying mechanical marvels and eccentric engineering as we count down the best builds on the web. Showing off a seafaring super car, bees that can 3D print, and the jet powered wings that make man fly.
Facepalm
We're turning epic fails into epic wins! In our search for the most cringe-worthy clips on the Internet, we witness a close call with a humpback whale, a plane that flies with circular wings, painful ant bites, and a glow stick explosion.
Shock and Awesome
Prepare to be shocked as we count down the most surprising and unexpected clips on the internet. There's a communicating crow, a super speedy tractor, a silly putty axe, a monster crane lift, and a surfing motorcycle.
