Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I like Adam but he keeps saying something that rubs me the wrong way. He consistently says that Jamie was never the butt of the joke and he didn't make fun of Jamie in a cruel way.
Meanwhile I was re-watching Mythbusters at the same time and Jamie repeatedly saying, on camera, that he is actively bothered by certain mocking jokes that Adam would make and he wishes he would stop it but he won't.
Felt really strange hearing Adam say that minutes after I finished an episode where Jamie was genuinely bothered.
Tbf Jamie apparently also acted a bit differently off camera according to several of the cast members, I've seen them say that while Adam was usually the rash and reckless one on camera it was usually Jamie who made a lot of reckless decisions behind the scenes. We don't really know the whole story of their relationship really and Jamie doesn't have any interest in talking about it anyway these days
“Reckless” seems on character for the guy who welded blades to a wok, set it on top of a lawnmower engine, and sicced the thing onto other robot wars competitors (and accidentally the public), earning a co-championship in exchange for removing it from the competition and keeping it as far away as possible...
From one perspective I can see how Adam would honestly say he never "meant it like that", but he does seem a little stubborn and boomerish in that aging gen-x sort of way that tends to miss the point.
I feel like Jamie and Adam are both like the fun uncle who can be too much, but you don't ever get too annoyed with, in very different ways.
