Season 8 Trivia

Episode 01 - The full-scale soda jousting experiment makes reference to The Stig on the UK version of "Top Gear" (2002). Adam even calls his driver "Stig" at one point (though an uncut clip on the Discovery website reveals that his actual name was Don).
Episode 09 - This is the first time that any of the on-camera Mythbusters address the unseen narrator, Robert Lee, by name. (Adam addresses him game-show host style by saying, "Robert, tell them what they've won," just before the narrator presents exposition on Adam's experiment.)
Episode 11 - WILHELM SCREAM: At 53:00, when Tory pretends to hit Grant in the neck.
Episode 05 - When Adam tries out the blur mask the bleeps spell out "Hello" in Morse Code.
Episode 06 - Goof (factual errors): When The Build Team equips Buster with two lambskin-covered leg casts of Tory Belleci's shaved leg, the narrator (Robert Lee) states that Buster "has two left feet." However, the casts are of Tory's right legs.
