SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E21: Chris Winterbauer & Lizzie Bassett - Starfish Prime

YouTube should learn something from this, let's be honest.

Anyway, here are actual eyewitness accounts.

One 11-year-old was asked what he thought.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E21: Chris Winterbauer & Lizzie Bassett - Starfish Prime

He said he was both scared and a little let down because he'd been waiting to see a mushroom.

He thought he'd see a mushroom cloud.

Another guy who honestly doesn't seem that different from the 11-year-old said he had been following along with the news of all the different failed tests, said he was actually a little disappointed and that it didn't quite live up to his expectations.

I would love to see the army general reading these reviews saying, like, let's prep the bigger bomb.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E21: Chris Winterbauer & Lizzie Bassett - Starfish Prime

Yeah, let's do it.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E21: Chris Winterbauer & Lizzie Bassett - Starfish Prime

Let's show these assholes what we're capable of.

S4E21: Chris Winterbauer & Lizzie Bassett - Starfish Prime

You know, that's what I mean.

S4E21: Chris Winterbauer & Lizzie Bassett - Starfish Prime

They've been advertising this like this has been set up for years at this point.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E21: Chris Winterbauer & Lizzie Bassett - Starfish Prime

Not this specific thing, but like the idea of nuclear power has become so ubiquitous for these for an 11 year old that he's like, heck yeah, mushroom cloud.

SNAFU with Ed Helms
S4E21: Chris Winterbauer & Lizzie Bassett - Starfish Prime

Can't wait to go outside 11 p.m.

SNAFU with Ed Helms

A reporter embedded with a naval observation team in American Samoa said the men around him were cool as kukes.

SNAFU with Ed Helms

SNAFU with Ed Helms

I think they're talking about their equipment not being affected.
