5 Really Expensive Things That Were Accidentally Destroyed | Stuff You Should Know 

Looks like there's a few newbies on here that haven't yet realized the unique way Josh presents himself.

I'm guessing nobody here has listened to the podcasts...guys, it's just Josh. Just...just the way Josh is.

These guys should really have more subscribers. My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw they only have 50k. I will endlessly suggest this podcast/chuck and josh to anyone I know that loves the absurd facts and intellectual conversations/discussion that they provide. I've listened to all of the podcast and I'm in the process of listening to them all again. They definitely get me through the workday and stimulate my mind at the same time.

I've listened to Stuff you should know for a long time, but I will never get over how Josh's voice doesn't match his face.

I love the way this guy reads his script. I doubt he doesn't do it purposely. It always gives me a good chuckle with how unenthused and flat he is throughout, I want him to narrate all my audio books

For those of you that make fun of or don't understand. You need to understand that Josh is playing a character, like Stephen Colbert use to. It's meant to be awkward and dry. If you don't like it, at least enjoy the topic...or don't watch. Listen to the weekly Podcast and you'll find that he is extremely intelligent and articulate.

His delivery reminds me of Norm Macdonald. Love the podcast guys! ❤

How Josh works. How we became friends without ever having a drink together.

Don't listen to these turds, Josh. You're the man.

Josh Clark is my favorite

Used to listen to stuff you should know almost everyday for months but haven't in a long time. Nice to see/hear you again Josh!

All they needed was a shamwow to soak up that wine puddle...

His shirt pocket kept distracting me.

The way he says melbourne

Wait....if that was a replica statue, then why is it on this list?

Who else came here from the recent violin episode?

So #1 was just breaking a plaster reproduction? I think that should be on another list.

Josh! You ROCK bro.

This guy is obviously reading from a script... The script isn't the bad thing but how obvious it is is terrible.

What about when I was 2 and I was playing my NES, I had a crazy amount of points stacked in Tetris, and my mom tripped over the power cord, that score is lost forever!!!

I was expecting Chernobyl and the Mars Climate Orbiter.

"...and that's why we can't have nice things" ~ mom

I can think of another one, the Mazda Furai Concept car, (one of a kind) caught fire while doing a video/photoshoot for Top Gear.

Paintings on an outdoor wall have no value unless properly protected (good luck) and/or are removed from their location, and brought somewhere safe.

A good addition to this happened the year after this video was made. In 2015 the beard on King Tut's mask was snapped off and glued back on by museum workers

A little additional information about the Alabama BCS National Championship Trophy. Carlton Tinker is the father of the long snapper on the team, Carson Tinker who was injured and his girlfriend killed in the tornado that hit Tuscaloosa in April of 2011. Carson is currently a snapper with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL.

you forgot my life

his voice....

I like the way you speak very much. It pleases me.

i like his "boring" Style alot!

There is a Mary statue at my old school and it's thumbs often went missing. I believe other fingers have as well... They get replaced

Number 2: been to Waterford and the House of crystal. They told (and shown) us how they make these trophies and apparently they make 6 copies each year, just in case and they even talked about this very case, saying they replaced the trophy

God dammit Josh, I just one to go one video without having a massive grin on my face. You remind me of Murdock from The A-Team movie

Josh, I love your shirt

I wasn't fooled by the statue. Right away I saw that bit of the metal skeleton at the base of the broken off pinkie. I real stature carved from a block of solid marble doesn't have a skeleton.

Please stop using bright solid color flat backgrounds. It makes it really difficult to want to keep looking at the video, despite the interesting contents.

I thought for sure that 'One of A Kind' wax cylinder, which looked to be over a century old for some kind of old Gramophone, that got destroyed by that old man on tv would be on here. Though I suppose it would be hard to determine what the price point on such an object would be, I would imagine 'alot'.

Look on the bright side, one day the sun will go nova and incinerate the earth.

Good stuff )

I live in Melbourne but not Australia in Florida

lol!!! "Get a new precision machine, China..."

"Utterly" amazing video, very interesting content!

i love this guy

Expensive things that were accidently destroyed? The challenger shuttle maybe...

What about the Library at Alexandria?

Oooooo stuff you should know, stuff you should know!

josh is awesome

Awesome!👍

Plz Plz do 10 REALLY REALLY expensive things

The information was good, but the host seemed like he was REALLY bored to be there doing a video.

If the statues are replicas then why the fuck would anyone on Earth want to go see them? Better off staying at home looking at pictures of the real ones.

There was a 150 year old Martin guitar that Kurt Russell accidentally mistook for a prop and smashed it for a scene in the “hateful eight”

the US Army destroyed unknowingly a rare Lamborghini LM002 (one of only 328 produced).

I heard the TestTube intro and was like 'wait why am I on Scam School?'

You should include that mission to Mars where they miscalculated units and hit Mars instead of landing. I bet that was pricey.

Josh you are the most awkward bugger, but I’m like you! Love your stuff 😀

The number of dislikes makes me really angry!!!

Why does he sound constantly out of breath

0:53 The man in the trench coat and the tiny diving bell FYI IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE GIRL, THE CLUES ARE IN HER PIGTAILS, THE PINK LOVE HEART ABOVE HER HEAD AND HER GENERAL SIZE AND DIMENSIONS.... :-)

I doubt it was very expensive, but that pocket certainly destroyed that shirt that Josh is wearing.

you say 'Melbourne' funny.

'prepare to cringe everybody'

i love this guy :~)

what about chernoybll that must have cost lots of money to fix

Maybe that’s why Melbourne is now absolutely covered in graffiti because of those accidental Banksy mistakes

I guess that fresco that was destroyed, and became a perfect meme for incompetence, can't be in this list since that was no accident.

how can you put such a big price tag on this anyway. you need to "buy" this with the entire wall with it as well.

At least we got a new shipment of Face Blankets undamaged

'Prepare to cringe' .... already have don't you worry about that mate

i searched banksy stencils and they were selling for 5.99$

Nice shirt pocked you have there.

I’m an OG SYSK listener

What's with the patch pocket🤔😄🤣

You forgot about the guy that accidentally threw away his hard drive containing over 7,500 bitcoins!

And the man who almost bought the wine realized how ridiculous it was to consider spending half a million dollars on a bottle of fermented grape shit, instead of giving the money to someone who needed it. No? Of course not, that would be stupid.

well it isjust stencil. It can be redone easily.

He sounds like he just came down off of some powerful stuff.

I was expecting things in the billions of dollars, not hundreds of thousands... Those would suck though

mell born

Dude, I'm from Australia. Melbourne is commonly pronounced 'Mel-Burn' but the 'Burn' is sometimes said like 'Bun'. Just speaking from experience.

5:38 was that pun intended? xD

Some guy had lots of Bitcoins stored on an old hard drive, which he threw in the garbage. Now, they would be worth $9M. Not technically destroyed, as maybe a landfill worker will luck out and find the hard disk and claim the associated loot.

You forgot the australiam frying pan

34 people want to remain ignorant.

1.2 million dollar dish. That's cheap for an artefact

What about peacock throne?

Omg my boyfriend looks just like Josh !

dude. don't use bright colors as a background. my eyes are bleeding.

The green screen is horrible but I can forget that but you're clearly reading off a script but you make it so boring.

at 2:58 the pic needs anti aliasing

I'm from Ireland

Mel...BORNE... Lol so bad

What about the Titanic?

Expensive stuff go down the hole - Plucky #realgeniustalk

Do many museums display phony versions of masterpieces? What a rip off. Why bother going to a museum then?

great!

The word utterly is utterly overused

this guy is funny

Melbourne is not pronounced mel-born its mel-burn. common mistake...

The commentary made me cringe more than the facts
