Science of Stupid Season 5 Full Episode Guide

Episode 20 - Trampoline, Trick Shots and Nose Slides
First Aired: December. 01,2017

Crashed ice, downhill ice skating is best left to the professionals. Trampoline drop ins can always be relied on to provide humour and humiliation. If you ignore the science, skateboard nose slides, are really going to hurt, and shooting pool trick shots, can also go spectacularly wrong.

Episode 19 - Backflips, Bikes and Burpees
First Aired: December. 01,2017

Tandem bicycles, whether you are the stoker or the captain, get it wrong and you will both experience pain and humiliation. Playground equipment are always good for laughs and injury. Doing back flips into a pool is never recommended and attempting to do Burpees can be just as dangerous.

Episode 18 - Moped Wheelies, Splashless Dives and Kettlebells
First Aired: November. 24,2017

Moped wheelie fails, can be just as stupid, painful and humiliating as their full size brothers. Splashless dives are possible if you know the science and agony if you don't. Kettlebells used incorrectly will dish out the same amount of hurt as any other weight.

Episode 17 - GT Sledding, Golf Ball and High Bar
First Aired: November. 24,2017

A GT sled is a bike with skis for snow, and is about as useful as a bike with wheels on snow. Dismounting from a high bar in a gym with a foam mat is bad enough, why would you try it in a park with no protection. Driving a golf ball, lots of room for pain and humiliation.

Episode 16 - Roof Snow, Skateboards and Vehicles
First Aired: November. 17,2017

Clearing snow off roofs or roof snow falling, can be both coldly embarrassing and hilariously funny. Stalling a skateboard is just another trick that is going to hurt sooner or later. No matter what the science is, getting out of moving vehicles, is going to go wrong.

Episode 15 - Ricochets, Vehicles and Ski Racing
First Aired: November. 17,2017

Golf, the gentleman's sport, unless a ricochet teaches you all about pain and humiliation. Giant slalom, even the professionals get it wrong so any amateur is guaranteed to get hurt. Jumping into moving vehicles would seem to be a fun thing to do, until it all does sideways.

Episode 14 - Chairs, Cars and Unicycles
First Aired: November. 10,2017

Spins on a unicycle is a guaranteed exercise in pain and humiliation, especially when your choice of place and time is a bit suspect. Pushing a car is not always a simple as it seems. Human bowling can be fun but it can also be pain, and standing on a chair is just not a good idea.

Episode 13 - Park Bench, Tandem Pole Dancing and Surfing
Episode 12 - Dive Bombs, Push Ups and Frisbee Golf
First Aired: November. 03,2017

Stacked push ups will reach a point where gravity causes pain and humiliation. Dive bombs are pretty scientific, get it wrong and it will hurt. Animals and objects are always good for humour. Frisbee golf is great fun, but ignore the science involved and a lot of agony and embarrassment will result.

Episode 11 - Bench Press, Beer Keg and Snow
First Aired: November. 03,2017

Tapping a beer keg is quite often really hilarious, or humiliating, depending on which side you are on. Walking in snow is often quite painful, but also funny. You will always risk injury and embarrassment if you must bench press another person.

Episode 10 - Blindfolds, Punchbags and Waterslides
First Aired: October. 27,2017

Just how many ways are there to injure and humiliate yourself with blindfolds ?. Punchbags are usually for serious training, and when used by amateurs results in pain and embarrassment, and riding an inflatable down a water slide, is not a recommended activity.

Episode 9 - Unicycle, Segway and Arm Wrestling
First Aired: October. 27,2017

Riding a unicycle on flat firm surfaces is hard enough, using one off road and down hill, is a sure recipe for pain and humiliation. The forward flip into water still hurts when it goes wrong. A Hoverboard is a never ending source of embarrassment and injury, and arm wrestling your grandpa and losing is just plain wrong.

Episode 8 - Sand, Wedding Cake and High Fives
First Aired: October. 20,2017

It is easy to humiliate yourself running or cycling on sand, because it is not a stable surface. Wedding cakes are even less stable, so carrying or cutting them is a recipe for embarrassment and doing high fives just to look cool, can be both painful and humiliating.

Episode 7 - Dance, Snow and Bottles
First Aired: October. 20,2017

Jumping in the snow will be painful and embarrassing if you do not know the science. Dipping your dance partner in public is not wise, unless you can get it right every time, and bottle flipping is ever so much fun if you know how to get it right.

Episode 6 - Barefoot Skiing, Trays and Jumping Rivers
First Aired: October. 13,2017

In barefoot water skiing, speed is your friend and waves are not, jumping a river needs momentum, balance and some science so if you lack any it may hurt, and carrying trays, is a lot harder than you would think, but not any less humiliating.

Episode 5 - Water Slides, Wheelies and Hard Hats
First Aired: October. 13,2017

A hard hat is to be worn and not caught painfully on your head, inflatables on water slides are just humiliating, and trying 12'o'clock wheelies often hurt, mostly for the bike.

Episode 3 - Balls, Bungee Jumping and Tether Ball
Episode 2 - Canoeing, Nets and Crutches
Episode 1 - Big Wheel Trike, Motorbikes and Balancing
