"Superb"

By sparkie_ac, Sep 09, 2007

Leave it to our great Mike to boldly go where Discovery sends him even if it is to a island with vomiting and pooing birds.
First I loved this episode for the educational information for the kids and the whole family. And the fact that the island is only allowed to be visited once a year and Mike brought us a glimce into a protected world.
I was rolling in laughter as the girls gave Mike a hard time about reaching into the nest to get the chicks to count and he was lets said a little afraid. And Mike has his own little camera and his frame work is not that bad in a feathery tight spot.
Overall classic funny Mike taking us into a great adventure, this is one of the top Dirty Jobs!moreless

"Great"

By PsychoPerson, Aug 26, 2007

I though this episode was disguisting, yet funny at the same time. Well, what is the difference, every dirty jobs episode has something disgusting, yet a hilarious host. I would never like to work (or study) at place, were birds are everywhere, and like to take a dump on you. Thats just disgusting. I feel bad for some of the researchers who have to work there. Being pooped on, and vomit on is surely, one thing I would never want. Yet of course, no one would want that. Those reseachers are very brave (or really dumb) to go to a place like vomit island. Oh well, im guessing, its a dirty job.moreless

- On the closed captions throughout this episode, the word "pooh" was substituted for "poo".
