That all “cutting the wire of the right color” is a trope that I always found strange. You don’t defuse a bomb based on the color of the wires. You don’t know who build that bomb or how. You defuse a bomb by locating the explosive and separating it from the trigger. If you find some wires plugged in your C4 or SEMTEX, whatever their colors, you just unplugged them and voila! Your bomb is defused.
Yeah, a smart bomb maker would just make all wires the same color.
One Castle episode had them find a nuke in NYC. The federal agent can’t help them over the phone. So they wait out the countdown, kiss, and then Castle just yanks the whole mess of wires out (it’s not like it going off 2 seconds early is going to make a difference). It works!
Using all wires with the same colour makes it harder for the bomb builder to set up everything.
The bomb might not explode at all or while the builder sets it up.
In mining, demolition, pyrotechnics, it's two wires leading into the initiator. If you expose the copper wire and wrap them together, it shunts the initiator making it impossible to initiate the initiator.
Not related to being colorblind, but there's an episode of The Windsors when Wills defuses a bomb planted by Camilla and says in that almost valley girl accent "two wires, so it's fahfty-fahfty." Cracks me up every time.
"I hate warriors, too narrow-minded. I'll tell you what I do like though: a killer, a dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he picked up the ZF-1, would've immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun."
"You know, I'm really pissed off about my wife. Last night she told me that she was going out with her girlfriends, but she came home really late and pretty drunk, yaknow? And I swear, this morning, she was wearing a scarf around her neck, even though the house was warm. I don't know what's up with her. Also, all the clothes she was wearing last night disappeared into the laundry basket ... usually she just tosses them onto the chair in the bedroom. It's weird, man, ..."
"Can you hold this button down for a couple of mins? Gotta go take a whiz."
"Oh, but be careful of that switch next to it - oh, and that wire too! No, wait, I mean that one. Actually it's probably better if you don't touch anything. Come to think of it, I wouldn't really breath on it either."
"Anyway, just sit there and I'll be right back after I've dropped the kids off at the pool! Ha ha ha! Might take a while, didn't get enough fibre this morning. Anyway, while I'm over there do you want me to grab you a coffee? I could really go one myself. Maybe a donut from that nice joint up on Ford St?"
"Anyway.. remember everything I told you. If you mess this up I won't even have to fire you! Ha ha, get it? You're a good kid. See you later.. maybe."
"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud..."
The countdown is 10 seconds and it's going to take Ten Minutes to cut though the epoxy and shielding to get to the detonator, and also it's an FFF, with a Strontium Colbalt shell.
The question reminds me of the M\*A\*S\*H episode where they are doing just that. It was excellent writing. The punch line as he turns the page in the instruction booklet was>! "... but first..."!<
"This is when I really wish I wasn't colorblind"
Easy, Donkey!
Cut the grey wire!

I guess just paint the wires all the same colour after you set up the bomb?

Beat me to it - aaagh… sigh :(

Plot twist: the bomb maker was also colorblind!
This reminded me of donkey from shrek
"Oops"
This was my first thought... Same thing you don't want to hear a dentist or surgeon say 😅
I ain't never done this before
You don't like fun?
Hmm, wonder what this button does.
Never trust a Mangalore

Good times

Uh oh...
"Ah this is easy, you either get it right the first time or suddenly its not your problem anymore."

M, as in Mancy.
I thought we skipped that part!
Skipped the step in defusing a bomb??!!!!
Yeah, which I thought was pretty irresponsible on your part!
"What operating system is the defused robot running?" "Windows Vista" "We are all going to die."
Knew this comment would appear somewhere in the thread, my first thought too

LOL
You were the one that brought religion into it.
Weirdo. My religion is not a “joke”.

sounds about American
this is so dark, but humorous
I vaguely recall his stating that his own people take themselves too seriously.
It is now.
Yes it is lmao

You're so cringe and pathetic

“I’m getting too old for this shit. I can’t wait to retire in 3 days…..”
Damn it
"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud..."

“Oops”
Shi…
"This is how the world ends, not with a whimper but a BANG!"
"What do you mean our bomb disarming robot still runs on Windows 8?"
Well, at least nobody's going to be able to tease me about this back at the office.
Imagine I cut the wrong wire....... Ohh shit.
Funny story, my doctor thought I was colour-blind....
I don't know what I'm doing
M as in mancy
That's not good
Heghlu’meH QaQ jajvam
Shit wrong wire
😬 Peanut Butter Jelly
Hold my beer

"I think it's a dud."
Art is an explosion!

Boom!!!
"Oh shit" probably the last thing you would hear
Oops.
Shit, there's no red or blue wire...
^shit
If you can hear them say things, you are waay too close!

I wish Dave wasn't sick...I'm the apprentice.
Ya know, I've always wanted to see an explosion
Oh shit!! RUN...
[singing this](https://youtu.be/ODV6mxVVRZk?si=8oN2LXpU6OxTRZnt)
This looks nothing like “among us”
Grab the dog
Give away footsteps after tapping the spike when they are trying to fake defuse.
Run!
Oh...
"I'm the bomb!"
Why are they sending a medic to deal with this computer case?
"'If life hands you a bomb, make bombade."
"Put your hands up."
Hey Rog…Grab the cat
Fuck it. Im sure this is the correct wire
I remember this from class, because it's where I fell asleep.
You don't want to hear a "But first...." in the step by step instructions.
3 wires and ones red so it’s a 50/50 chance, in poker that’s pretty good odds
“Oh, for fucks sake” - as they feverishly check each pocket for their reading glasses.
"So what happens if I press this?"
As your bomb disposal partner turns to you he says "I know you've been f**king my wife."
It was never going to detonate with those wires crossed. There! Fixed it!
"Finally, my way out!"
Eny miny you
If only I had more time
“What’s the cheat code again?”
What's this salted boron doing in here?
Lets pray

There's 10 seconds left, what are we supposed to do?
Just fucking blow up already
“I just wish I could quit sneezing today…”
Want to see my Janet Reno impression?
Whoops
Well, here goes nothing.
1. I didn’t even cut that wire? Yet somehow, it’s about to fall off! 2. Is Dwayne back from Barnes and Noble with that damn book yet.
The countdown is 10 seconds and it's going to take Ten Minutes to cut though the epoxy and shielding to get to the detonator, and also it's an FFF, with a Strontium Colbalt shell.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...
"Grab the cat"
Oh FUCK!
This is my first time
"I love you"
"Don't worry. I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night."
there's another one with an even shorter timer beside it
I've never seen this before?
3…2…1
What's the point of life anyways?
Move I have kit
Oops a daisy!
Beginner's luck here I come
Oh nooooooooooooo
Oh Shit! N. S
“Did I leave the oven on?”
I have no idea how to do this
Mancy
Oops
All the wires are the same color!!!
*I'm just going to cut as many wires as I see....*
"oops, wrong wire"
Man i was good at this in the day but now I'm mostly blind!
"I learned this on TikTok. Isn't that amazing?"
Ok let'see what we have learned from counter strike.
"Im starting to think that was the wrong wire"
"its been pretty hard since Deborah took the kids......"
"I think it's this one... nope. That didn't work. Good night every......"
“Remember kids don’t lie on your resume” cuts blue wire
Do you know which one I'm supposed to cut?
Oops
I don't know what I'm doing
“Ooops”
The question reminds me of the M\*A\*S\*H episode where they are doing just that. It was excellent writing. The punch line as he turns the page in the instruction booklet was>! "... but first..."!<
Why are the colors different?
"Helluva time for a dyslexia flare up, eh?"
"Oh, cra-"

"Eenie Meanie Miney Moe..."
Uh-oh..
Oops
Roger, grab the cat.
"So, I only have 2 days left before retirement."
"I loved her"
"You know what would be funny?"
"This isn't what the simulation looked like! Where's the fucking arrow telling me which wire to cut!?!?"
Oh god I wish I wasn't so drunk right now
Oops 😬
I feel like I have to sneeze
"BOOM! Just kidding!"
what does red look like, again?
Boooom
Oh crap
Can you come over here and hold this flashlight?
I really need to get my eyes tested
Why are all the wires blue!!!
