1 Light bulb Unnamed 2:00 Jory Caron

The bulb lit up to purple, then popped.

Bad Idea July 1, 2007
2 Tin foil Unnamed 1:00 Jory Caron The tin foil sparked, until Jory turned it off to vent out the air. Bad Idea July 2, 2007
3 Pop Tarts Unnamed :30 Jory Caron The tin-foil packaging sparked, but the pop tarts were still edible (sort of). Good Idea July 3, 2007
4 Popcorn Unnamed "Popcorn" setting Jory Caron It didn't pop for a while, but eventually did. And the plastic packaging melted. Good Idea, because it was popcorn. July 5, 2007
5 Soy sauce Unnamed 1:00 Jory Caron The pouch expanded, spun around, and finally sprayed sauce all over the microwave. Bad Idea July 6, 2007
6 Kool-Aid Unnamed 1:00 Jory Caron The Kool-Aid sparked, the soy sauce freaked out, but on the inside, no signs of a fireball. Good Idea July 7, 2007
7 Ketchup packet Unnamed 1:00 Jory Caron It sparked, and then the packets caught fire. Unfortunateely for Jory, he still got cold ketchup. Bad Idea July 8, 2007
8 VHS tape Unnamed 1:00 Jory Caron The tape didn't do much, but when they opened it, it melted through. Bad Idea July 9, 2007
Styrofoam and packing peanuts (not counted in Unnamed's experiment total) Unnamed Unknown Jory Caron Nothing much happened to the Styrofoam block, or the packing peanuts. Jon says that he doesn't recall these two experiments even getting a verdict, but that, if he could give them a verdict now, both would definitely be stupid ideas. These experiments took place between VHS tape and toothpaste. They can be seen in the first FAQ video, which was uploaded on April 6, 2008.
9 Toothpaste Unnamed 1:30 Jory Caron The toothpaste sparked, and the tube unraveled. It began to ooze, and it was hot and liquidy. Jory decided to open it up for splatter action. It steamed, and cleaned the microwave (which was good). The tube got smaller, releasing toothpaste in the air, and it sparked again.
The original version was a bad idea, but the revisit was a good idea.

19 Light bulb (#1), Toothpaste (#9) and soy sauce (#5) Diane* 2:00 Jory Caron This was just a re-microwaving of #1, #5, and #9.
Light bulb: It lit up like back in #1, only it lasted longer until it popped.

54 Lava lamp Sandra 20:00 Jory Caron Jory wanted to imitate what the Mythbusters Build Team did. But instead on a Gas Hob/stove, they did that in the microwave.

Bad Idea

Whoopi shut herself off and when she was restarted, they realize it did not work anymore (it did not sound like that). Whoopi died too early, so they had to use a different microwave to complete the experiment.
Take Two. Now tinfoil was added. There was sparking from the bottom by 13:57, melting the trash barrel it was on a little. It flamed up by 13:00, and finally burst into flames after about three minutes. The exterior caught fire, then died for ten seconds. It re-lit again, then died. After fifteen more seconds, it burst into flames a third time. Jasmine was a zombie microwave, but who knows what other creepy things she may be capable of?

Jory declared it a great idea despite killing 2 microwaves in the process.

247 Time Machine Cindy - 19:55 Jonny Paula The wheels melted and the car got destroyed, plus the windshield was out of place. Nice touch for Marty, though. Even though the door was open, Cindy's plate was still moving! Holy **** another zombie microwave!!!! *creepy laughter* Bad Idea November 12, 2010
248 Popcorn (Unbagged) Esmerelda 8:00 Jory Caron The eight un-bagged popcorn took a while to go, but as soon as Jory added more time (5:00?), it started to pop. Popcorn was coming out of the microwave as it was opened. The popcorn came out burnt and crunchy. Bad Idea November 15, 2010
249 Harry Potter Figurine w/ Candles Esmeralda 6:66 Jory Caron The candles caught Harry on fire, and blackened the inside of Esmeralda. Bad Idea November 19, 2010
250 Orange Esmeralda 3:00 Jory Caron This experiment was made to honor the annoying orange. The result pretty much put a hole in the bottom of the orange. All the juice squirted out. The orange also helped clean Esmeralda after. And it smells like orange juice!
This was one of the few surprise items for season 9.
Good Idea November 22, 2010
251 Whipped Cream Esmeralda 20:00 Jory Caron Before experiment, whipped cream was on Esmeralda's plate and door. Some of it got on Jon. After 14 minutes in the experiment, there was sparking, and fire too! Something blew up as well. Really delicious, why even bother microwave it? No way, bad idea! Bad Idea November 26, 2010
252 Smoke detector Esmeralda 4:44 Jory Caron The smoke detector began sparking, then after a while, it caught fire. The fire eventually extinguished itself, then after several seconds, the fire reignited. Bad Idea November 29, 2010
253 Twilight Figurines Esmeralda - 78:00 Jory Caron At first nothing happened, but produced steam. Suddenly, both Edward and Bella spontaneously combusted, then the fire went out a bit, then occurred again like the smoke detector.
First appearance of the Jory Caron Laboratory 3.1. They added a new light!
Good Idea December 3, 2010
254 Flip camera Penelope 4:00 Jory Caron (Jon as sidekick) The episode began to reveal Esmeralda died last episode. She was replaced by Penelope Panasonic.
The Flip camera sparked a little, then smoked and caught on fire. It fell over after a little less than a minute.
Bad Idea December 6, 2010
255 Silly Bandz Penelope 7:77 Jory Caron The Silly Bandz sparked and caught on fire, the sparking caused by remains of the ****** Flip camera. They became white and looked like bird ****. Good Idea December 13, 2010
256 Lava Lamp (again) Penelope 19:76 Jory Caron This experiment was revisited in season 9 for the 1080p quality.
Jory duct-taped the top of the bottle to reinforce it a little bit. A light bulb was added as well. At first, nothing happened other than the bulb glowing, but when the lava lamp exploded, after more than 12 minutes, it busted open the door, splattered "lava" all over the place and poor Penelope and a piece of glass went through one of the lights, hitting the house. Just a re-microwaving.
Really Bad Idea December 15, 2010
257 Tampons Penelope 3:00 Jory Caron Before experiment even began, Jory and Riley were cleaning Penelope from the lava lamp explosion five days ago.
The tampons did nothing for a while, then spontaneously combusted. They looked like fake cigarettes after the experiment
Bad Idea December 20, 2010
258 Christmas Tree Penelope 3:00 (for the ghosts of Christmas past) Jory Caron The tree sparked and glowed. It smoked and caught fire like Elmo and the disco ball did, both past Christmas specials. The tree was flatter, like a Christmas tree on a wall. Good Idea December 22, 2010
259 Barney the Dinosaur Penelope 9:00 Jory Caron Barney somewhat smoked and his *** caught on fire, so did the rest of him. When emerged, he looked burnt and white cotton was exposed, like Pikachu. Barney also split into pieces. Bad idea, but at least he's dead for being annoying!
This episode contained a special Oompa-Loompa parody intro.
Bad Idea December 27, 2010
260 Box of Wine Penelope 26:00 Jory Caron The video was postponed from Wednesday to Early Thurdsay. For twenty whole minutes, nothing happened, but warmed up.
The episode was released with a bonus video, of Jory throwing a bag at a rock. Wunderbar!
Bad Idea December 30, 2010
261 Hourglass Penelope 3:00 Jory Caron Fire occurred next to the hourglass, and it smoked. Later, the hourglass broke. Bad Idea January 3, 2011
262 Fire alarm Penelope 5:49 Jory Caron The alarm lit up and caught fire. It also smoked inside Penelope and broke the plate. Jeez, how many experiments will catch on fire? Ironic Idea January 5, 2011
263 Magic grow animals Penelope 6:00 Jory Caron Nothing happened, at all. When opened, it smoked and the turtles melted, looking a little like Play-Doh. Boring Idea January 10, 2011
264 Car Battery Penelope 15:01 Jory Caron It was finally microwaved to hopefully shut up everybody about doing it. The big old battery spun in circles and after 14 minutes, nothing happened. After 20 more minutes, still nothing. Hooray for dull experiments, fans! Will you shut up about it already?!? Bad Idea January 12, 2011
265 Ammonia Inhalants Penelope 8:00 Jory Caron Within the first two minutes, a few of the smelling salts popped. Afterwards, Jory ended up popping a few more. The smell was very strong.
This episode came with a bonus video of Jory, Riley, and Jon smelling the smelling salts for the first time.
Good Idea January 17, 2011
266 Shotgun microphone Penelope 5:00 Jory Caron The microphone caught fire, but looked fine when the experiment ended.
This episode came with a bonus video of Riley flicking Jory in the nuts with the microphone.
Bad Idea January 19, 2011
267 Duct tape Penelope 4:30 Jory Caron The roles of duct tape melted a bit and made it stickier and warm. Good Idea January 24, 2011
268 Old Spice Body Wash Penelope 5:90 Riley McIlwain
(Jory as sidekick)
The episode parodies Old Spice Body Wash commercials.
The microwave mysteriously glowed green, and the bottle didn't fare damage at all. The inside of Penelope was a mix of blood, semen and Avatar puke. Still, a good idea!
Good Idea January 26, 2011
269 Xenon light bulb Penelope 9:09 Jory Caron The light bulb sparked and glowed a bit of red. Unlike past light bulbs, this didn't do anything. Worst light bulb experiment ever! Bad Idea January 31, 2011
270 Bottle of beer Penelope - RET 45:00 Jory Caron The light was left on for this episode. Even with it on, they still could not see in Penelope. (Why couldn't they just clean her?!) On 39:50 the top blew off, causing smoke (or steam or both). Beer also spilled out, but if there was no duct tape, it probably wouldn't have killed anyone. It smelled like Swagger and beer, though.
This episode contained the same Oompa-Loompa intro as seen from episode #259.

Number Item Microwave used Time Host Plot Outcome Upload date
271 Bottle Of Champagne Rapunzel 20:00 Jory Caron During the entire run the bottle rolled through the microwave. Also: the tin foil wrapped around the cork sparked. At 13:58 the glass shattered, forcing the microwave door open. Bad Idea April 19, 2011
272 Safety Vests Rapunzel 4:39 Jory Caron This experiment had to be done twice as nothing happened the first time. The guys added a lighter to it, which lit the vest on fire. Bad Idea April 20, 2011
273 Baby Food Rapunzel 8:00 Jory Caron The baby food popped up and fell. The interior of the microwave smoked, and the baby food came out like liquid. It also made a mess of the microwave. Bad Idea April 21, 2011
274 Airbag Beth - 10:00 Jory Caron It appeared Jory didn't learn his lesson after the original airbag episode (167) when he avoided death at the hands of Summer's death. He did it again at the viewers' request, and to push his luck!
The episode was set in the Jory Caron Field of Destruction 2.0.
Riley plugged in Beth, and the airbag went off. This time, they actually expected it! It destroyed Beth almost completely, but the guys repaired her, kinda. NEVER do this at home!
Great Idea, but don't try this at home. April 22, 2011
275 Pencils at Playlist Live Felicia - RET 4:00 Jory Caron This episode was done live with a crowd at Playlist live. The pencils started to catch fire. After another minute, it started to smoke more and since there was no use to put out the fire, Jory ended up using his shirt to extinguish the fire. The crowd decided on a good idea, but Jory decided to make it a sketchy idea. Sketchy April 23, 2011
276 Hookah Rapunzel 4:20 Jory Caron This episode marked Rapunzel's return. Nothing happened, at all. But it did smoke and heat up a little. Hooray for boring experiments! Bad Idea April 24, 2011
277 Easter Bunny Rapunzel - RET 3:33 Jory Caron The first (and only) Easter special of the series.
There was some trouble fitting in the basket and candy. The chocolate bunny melted due to the heat, and the peeps expanded like in episode #15. Also, the basket mutated. It was a delicious smell, but looked like diarrhea. No way, why would you microwave it?
Bad Idea April 25, 2011
278 Carrot Gabriele Fresh vegetable setting Jory Caron The carrot started to spin, the interior got slightly darker. When wrapped in tinfoil, there was sparkage. The carrot also got squishy. Carrots suck! Bad Idea April 27, 2011
279 Mannequin Head Gabrielle 6:66 Jory Caron Uploaded on the day Osama bin Laden died. The guys had trouble fitting the head in the microwave, but once they did, they set the time for 6:66. The head turned, and it somehow burned and smoked. When opened, the face looked ugly and melted deep. What is wrong with your face?! Bad Idea May 2, 2011
280 Acer tablet computer Gabrielle 7:45 Jory Caron Not much happened, but it smoked a lot. The computer was ruined when taken out. Bad Idea May 4, 2011
281 Bag of Chips Gabrielle Potato setting Jory Caron Revisit from season two.
Like last time, the bag of chips sparked and shrunk in size. They also ripped the bag open to try some chips. First true good idea of season 10.
Good Idea May 9, 2011
282 Make-Up Gabrielle 3:00 Jory Caron The foundation melted and smoked in the microwave. They also ran the experiment through its full time, and it made a mess of the plate. Good Idea May 11, 2011
283 Simon Says Gabrielle 7:84 Jonny Paula The game spun around and lit up, smoked, and suddenly burst into flames post-experiment. Simon says, I'm dead! Jon and Riley argued if it was good or bad, so it's a good idea, who cares? Good Idea May 16, 2011
284 Sega Genesis and Atari Game Gabrielle 4:00 Jory Caron The Atari Game was partly revisited from season five.
The game console and Atari game spun around, sparked, smoked and caught fire. It was put out with the fire extinguisher. Useless, good idea!
Good Idea May 18, 2011
285 Toothpaste Gabrielle 2:30 Jory Caron Revisit from season one.
The toothpaste tube fell, and not much happened afterward. It smelled like a lemon bomb, and make a light blue gooey mess. Great idea!
Good Idea May 23, 2011
286 Slap Chop Gabrielle 5:00 Jory Caron The Slap Chop spontaneously combusted, and made black smoke. With her sixth good idea in a row, Gabby kicks Sandra's ass! Good Idea May 25, 2011
287 Airsoft Gun Gabrielle - 5:00 Jory Caron The gun smoked and caught fire. Poor Gabby died. Bad Idea May 30, 2011
288 Gasoline Rapunzel - 4:80 Jory Caron Rapunzel's return only resulted in her last experiment for good!
The tinfoil made the interior of Rapunzel spark, and the gas burst into flames a few times. Oh, and Rapunzel died, her one and only good idea; but not recommended! Never do this at home.
Good Idea June 1, 2011
289 Twilight and Highlighters Gina 4:00 Jory Caron The highlighters are revisited from season three.
The pink highlighter popped, and the yellow one later did too. The pages of the book? Some of them got touched.
Good Idea June 7, 2011
290 Baby Diaper Gina - 4:51 Riley McIlwain Because of the tinfoil the diaper caught fire. Despite it, they claimed the experiment boring. Also, Gina died, another one gone! Good Idea June 9, 2011
291 Cigarettes Shelley 2:00 hand smoke Jory Caron The cigarettes caught fire and smoked (cigarettes smoke, what else would they do?) and the fans were turned on. Good Idea June 14, 2011
292 Mouthwash (Listerine brand) Shelley 4:53 Jory Caron There was sparking, the liquid bubbled. The bottle did leak post experiment. Good Idea June 15, 2011
293 Bra Shelley - RET 3:40 Jory Caron The bra spun around on the turntable, and it shifted a lot. The foam in the bra expanded. Then the bra flipped over after Jory added 3:00. There was sparking, it caught fire and it went out. Shelley retired with three experiments, but why didn't they clean her? The second six-good ideas streak ended. Good Idea June 20, 2011
294 Bacon Emily 8:08 Jory Caron The plastic was kept on, and the bag enlarged. The lab smelled like breakfast. This broke the second-longest streak of good ideas, tied with Gabby's 281 to 286. Bad Idea June 22, 2011
295 Aerosol Can in cooking oil Emily 9:99 Jory Caron Once again, another hope for an Aerosol boom.
Cooking oil was needed for a big boom, unlike previous aerosol cans (sans Axe Body Spray, which actually exploded). After some time, there was a boom. It was not too big, but so powerful that it blew open the door, which was taped up. It also splashed oil in Emily. The aerosol can vanished, but was found under the lab.
Good Idea June 29, 2011
296 Justin Bieber Doll Emily - 7:77 Jory Caron Justin melted, and he didn't catch fire, but somehow killed Emily.
Damn you Justin Bieber! There was no reason for Emily's death, but couldn't she have come back to life? No. It seems Emerson microwaves aren't holy after all. But what could have made St. Margaret II come back to life...?
Good Idea July 1, 2011
297 Shake Weight Heather 5:32 Jory Caron The Shake Weight sparked and it got stuck in Heather. It then smoked and caught fire. Jory took it out WHEN IT WAS STILL ON FIRE!!! Good Idea July 6, 2011
298 Microwave Detector Heather 2:98 Jory Caron Perhaps one of the most radioactive items ever microwaved. The detector glowed and then stopped. It soon smoked and burned. Heather's clock stopped at 40 seconds, but why? The interior was severely blackened. Good Idea July 11, 2011
299 Firework Mortar Heather - 30:00 Jory Caron Part one of the series finale. Based in the Jory Caron Field of Destruction 3.0, not 2.0 due to fears of destroying Jon's home.
Other killed microwaves joined Heather, Jory, Jon, Riley and Ryan for one last time. The guys had to hide behind the truck to avoid getting in the danger zone. When trying the string, the microwave just stopped. Jory did it again by hand, and did not lose either. The mortar exploded, killing Heather and damaging the other pre-dead microwaves as well. They really went out with a bang! Bad idea, but pretty awesome!
Bad Idea July 13, 2011
300 Propane Tank Shelley - 30:00 Jory Caron Part two of the series finale, and officially the last episode of the show.
Jory placed a propane tank in Shelley, for her very last experiment. He also placed some other experiments from seasons past in and around her. He covered everything with gasoline. Shortly after the start there was some fire, but it went out again. After a while some fireworks ignited forcing open the door, then the propane ignited setting the entire pyramid on fire. The guys also shooted some guns to the fire for some extra spectacle and lots of fire extinguishers were used to extinguish the fire. Shelley's door even melted off at the end. The microwave show really ended with a bang, a burn and a good idea too! Seriously, DO NOT attempt at home!

302 Samsung Galaxy Phone Ivanka 6:00 Jory Caron The phone was cooked with the microwave manual. It smoked, after which Jory jammed the door by using the grill. A whistling sound was heard and only a few seconds later the phone caught fire. Good Idea April 4, 2012

304 Eyeballs Ivanka 2:00 Jory Caron Tealights were placed in the corners of the microwave cavity and two quils of a porcupine were put into the eyeballs. Finally Riley's fake mustache was added. Only a few seconds in the experiment this content flashed and in the remaining time the eyeballs cooked and plasma was formed now and then. The eyeball goop ended over the inside of the microwave door. Good Idea October 28, 2012
305 Santa Claus Ivanka - 8:00

The experiment was microwaved with a miniature Christmas tree. A small fire occured, which eventually shut off Ivanka in the middle of the microwaving. Good Idea December 24, 2012
