@Inquisitor McDakka yes, mithbusters as far as I remember. It's simply impossible, because a speaker has its laundness limit. If a speaker can output, let's say, 100dB, even if the megaphone triples the laundness of its input, it will never exceed the 100dB threshold. You simply cannot get any lounder than you can.
@@Failer__ and they had to test that? I could have told them that in advance, obviously to output as much force as in the video you would need a lot of power.
It is a cartoon after all, cartoons are known have stretched physics for the sake of a joke, although the Simpsons is a little more subtle than say Spongebob or Looneytunes
I think it actually might be *the* greatest TV show of all time. Cheers, MASH, I can't think of any other TV show that could compete historically. Obviously better than Family Guy or South Park. Beats Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. I see no competitors.
@@paulfuray8557 This is almost the last time it was brilliant. It was the final episode of season 8. Most of season 9 were the worst episodes in the series up to that point.

+Enzo cortes Doesn't necessarily mean it wouldn't be something worth doing, the Mythbusters have tried a lot of things that had ended up being impossible, or even stuff that they knew wouldn't work.
This is so hilarious. That grin Bart makes when the fly passes by makes the "Testing" so much funnier. Bart's anticipation of doing this is classic. He loves causing chaos.
Sometimes it is the smallest detail that can really make a scene. I love how the Octopus at 0:43 goes from staring straight ahead to glancing up at Frink before suddenly attacking him.
+whraithlord You can only amplify a noise so much before it distorts, aside from this the transistor is the main element in megaphone. We need to know that transistor takes a small signal as input, and on the out put it generate a similar but larger signal. Each transistor has its own characteristics, and it has minimum and maximum input/output. To amplify sound transistor will take a small signal (millevolts), and the output will be in volts or 10’s of volts. Therefore feeding the megaphone with output of another megaphone means we are feeding the next one with large signal exceeds its input characteristics. Another fact, from the characteristics of transistor, we find that the capacity to amplify is limited to the energy supplied to the transistor; for example, if the transistor is supplied with 12 volts then its output is limited to this supply even if its input signal is higher volts there will be no amplification more than the supplied voltage. So in short it is a cartoon, ofc this won't work -_-
One megaphone has a maximum amplitude of the sound waves it can produce. Amplifying the input source will not cause the megaphone to make a noise any louder than its maximum output. Also each megaphone is absorbing or reflecting any sound waves emanating from behind, so it's not really giving any existing waves a boost. Furthermore the signal will become distorted by being copied and reproduced by each megaphone. It's like copying a page and then copying the copy. It will become very distorted the more times you do it.
@@carultch if it's not amplifying anything, then it is limited by the amplitude of your voice. It just focuses the sound waves in one direction, so if anything, two acoustic megaphones will be quieter because the front one is distorting/blocking the back one.
Bart: Don't have a cow man. Is this any worse the rest of the crap I pulled over rhe years? You punish me, and learn a lesson. I forget it by the next episode and pull another prank.
@@TrianglePants Across the decades, comic artists, animators and cartoonists have reduced digits in order to streamline production and, at times, reduce costs. They learned that it is a trick of the eye and mind that people for the most part won't notice. Most early Disney characters had- and still have to this day!- three fingers instead of four. In _The Simpsons,_ they all have three fingers (unless a joke is made on the matter). If you also watch Disney's _The Little Mermaid,_ you'll see that while Ursula the Sea Witch has four fingers, she only has _six_ tentacles! Since she is not an octopus but rather a cecaelia, it can be assumed that her human-like arms count amongst the total of eight arms usually associated with an octopus.
ackbarfan5556 The car in question is right outside the Simpsons' house, where all the glass got blown out - rather dramatically, as we saw with Homer getting a beer.
Someone actually tried this in real life. It didn't work. Each megaphone has a maximum volume, which is probably reached two or three megaphones in. By definition of maximum, the megaphone in the front of the line won't be any louder than that. It would be somewhat louder than your original voice, and more distorted than the second or third megaphone, but not louder than that megaphone.
I think one of my top 3 simpsons episodes was when Bart shook one of Homers beers in that shaker thing for 24 hours, then when Homer goes to open it, Bart is standing there going, April Fool.... and the whole house explodes. My sides hurt that day.
@@r0bw00d Yes, it sure was. My other favorite episode was the one where the Simpsons move, and Homer meets his boss, Hank Scorpio. Just the way Hank spoke to Homer, and how his whole attitude/mannerisms was/were about work and stuff, is what I tended to like. Minus all the stuff about him being evil and taking over the east coast lol.
If we list off all of our favorite moments or episodes, we'll be here all day! I'm a big fan of all the Sideshow Bob episodes, especially the _HMS Pinafore_ one. "Madame Butterfly" had never been so appealing to me before that moment.
One of those Mythbuster shows tested to see if this actually worked, it didn't. Putting an active megaphone that close to another megaphone in fact causes a reverb that'll scratch the inside of your brain
