Dihydrogen Monoxide is a tasteless, odorless chemical that is commonly used in many industrial processes. This chemical is deadly if inhaled, it accelerates corrosion of many known metals, it is fire retardant, has inflicted billions of dollars in damage to infrastructure worldwide, and under certain conditions it can cause severe burns. High concentrations of this chemical have been found in the plumbing of over 90% of US households. Sounds pretty bad right? Dihydrogen Monoxide is water... Every statement above is 100% verifiable fact, though it seems pretty misleading for me to describe water in that manner. That is the level of honesty I've come to expect from this show when it started as a series of shorts on YouTube.

Smug, ignorant hipster douchebag "ruins" things by pointing out how things are "bad" and "don't make sense," which in virtually every case just comes down to him being too dumb and/or too unwilling to take an objective look at it. This guy's the reason I stopped watching College Humor several years ago.

Very entertaining with a great host however not always entirely accurate. I think there is simply too much to research for them to be 100% all the time.
