Plugging things in that SHOULD NOT be plugged in 

Like this video or you will be cursed by the ghost of the wailing hotdog!👻 Have you ever accidentally shocked yourself? put the story down below! Instagram-> instagram.com/backyardscientistofficial/ Twitter-> twitter.com/ChemicalKevy

"If the science is right, I should live." Ah yes, the ideology of a true scientist

Hey! This is my business! Also, first I was a bit disappointing you used a stick to short the plug to the can instead of your hand. But then you actually held the can and plug in your hands! I'm proud of you... for staying alive as well!!

“It’s VERY dangerous, you could get shocked!” Proceeds to wave hand around it like a mad man

Those extension cords he made are also referred to as suicide cords because it’s two male ends. When I worked for Lowe’s each Christmas I’d have customers asking for an adapter to make two male ends to add to their lights. Each year I had to explain that no such thing exist because it’s extremely dangerous.

"Jamie, pull that up." "Who's Ja..."

In tomorrow’s news: “Florida Man electrocutes weiner”

"Jamie pull that up" "who's Jamie?" Lmfao

The only time I could fully say I've shocked/electrocuted myself was back in high school when my hand grazed an outlet while trying to plug something in. I adore this memory because after feeling weird for a while I went to the nurse and got to awkwardly say "So this will sound weird.....but I think I electrocuted myself?" And got to see her face go through so many expressions at once

Intruder: *breaks into my house* Me: *plugs in my double male extension cord on a stick*

They always ask, "Who's Jamie?", but they never ask, " How's Jamie?"

"Jamie pull that up!" "Who's Jamie?" Don't worry the real ones know.

6:42: my brain in math class

"If science is right,I should live" Electroboom: *[Incomprehensible Electrical bleeping noises]*

“If the science is right, I should live.” Is the motto of this channel.

“Do you hear that?” “It’s screaming for help.” *hot dog pain intensifies*

As an electrician and even being isolated, I’m always still cautious and try to work with the power off.

"The Science wasn't right" will be written on this mans tombstone.

"Jamie, put that up" Woman: "who's jam-" *HIGH SPEED FOOTAGE*

“Plugging the hotdog directly to the wall” -Florida man 2019

"Jamie, pull that up." "whos jamie"

"If the science is right, I should live." Famous last words of every great scientist :P

"Don't try this at home" *Laughs in homeless*

“Jamie pull that up” “Who’s ja-“

This man is the most “Florida Man” Florida Man ever

"So now instead of plugging the hotdog directly into the wall" A true scientist walks among us

Famous Last Words: "If the science is right..."

I work at a hardware store, and we call these things suicide cords. Folks always ask for them around Christmas time for their trees, but it’s usually because they’ve plugged in their lights wrong and they think they need a double-male cord when they really don’t (because nobody ever does).

This entire videos existence: Me: Panic, discomfort, and anxiety

So he’s literally just playing with a death cable

the end of the video basically is: "man do you have any shaving cream?" - "No because i dont like the taste" "You eat shaving cream?" - "Why would I if I dont like the taste?"

Sandra: "OH it'S gETtINg SpIcY!!!" Also Sandra: *screams unintelligible nonsense while being sprayed with shaving cream*

This guy’s becoming more of a front yard scientist

"Jamie, pull that up." "Who's Jamie?" Haha. Powerful Rogan reference.

Famous last words: if the science is right, I should live... 1:09

Having experimented with high voltage this entire video is giving me a heart attack. I would have like a dozen more safety features. Even just a switch on the end of the stick could prevent some disaster

I've shocked myself dozens of times. My dad was an HVAC guy, and he taught me alot of stuff when I was a kid, but electrical was what I liked the most. So I'd always be wiring things up with spare parts in the garage. I was always careful, but I was also 10 years old, so mistakes were inevitably made. The best one though was when I unplugged the dryer and plugged it back in just for fun. My finger was touching a prong and that was the only 240v shock I've ever had. It was pretty wild. My whole arm was vibrating for about an hour.

Back in the 80's, I used to work on huge UHF television transmitters. So big, you literally walk around inside the circuit. There are a series of keys to get inside. First, you turn off the main switch, which opens a little sliding door with a lock inside, with a key in it. You cannot take the key out until you turn the lock, which locks the sliding door over the switch so no one can get to it, and then you can pull the key out. You take that key across the room and it lets you turn off the cooling fans and other auxillary equipment, trapping the first key and revealing another. There are like three or four more keys in all, the last of which turns off the main power breakers, and gives you the key that opens the transmitter "cabinet" door so you can go inside. In there are capacitors the size of suitcases, and inductors the size of trashcans, and a certain giant vacuum tube (called a klystron) the size of a refrigerator, surrounded by magnetic coils the size of truck tires. There are four klystrons: two for the video carrier, one for audio, and one for standby. When you open the door, hanging right in the center of the doorway is a 3ft long fiberglass stick with copper ball on the end. We called it the "thunder stick". Its hanging in the center of the door so that you can not walk through without either picking it up, or dodging it. You take that stick (by the fiberglass insulator) and go around touching the copper ball to certain points to make sure they are not live nor have any residual charge left on them. I did this every time I entered for like five years, and nothing ever happened, so I go used to the routine. Then one day when you least expect it....KAPOW!!! ...and I found myself sitting on my arse with ears ringing, acrid smoke curling in the air, a bright after-image in my eyesight, unable to say anything except "God damn!" I had to take a long break and doublecheck everything before I would go back in there. Those big capacitors have bleeder resistors that drain the charge off of them (by the time you finaly go through all those keys to get in). Except this time, the bleeder resistor had failed, and the cap still had a full charge on it. "Thank God for the Thunder Stick!" As an electronics tech, i rarely ever shocked myself, but I had things blow up in my face many times. Im glad that time the thunder stick took it, because that one most likely would have been fatal. I do not miss working on big powerful transmitters. Dangerous as hell.

"I'm not making this up, dude! He literally electrified a pickle. Funniest stuff I've ever seen"

Who is Jamie? Bro that got me laughing. Lol 0:44

Him:“Jamie show that slow down” Her: “who’s Jamie?” Me: *laughs in joe rogan*

"Jamie put that up!" "Who's ja-" *clip plays*

he swinging that thing around makes me sweat nervously.

Watching this now, all I can think when that speaker starts smoking is "Scarlet... Fire."

“This could be your weiner” ~Backyardscientist 2019

Sandra: "I'm gonna stand back" I like this woman, she's smart.

I’ll see everyone in 7 years when this is recommended again.

6:41 My backpack after entering Luton Airport

"instead of plugging the hot dog directly into the wall,"

''We have 120 volts" **laughs in 220 volts**

6:05 "...or shaving cream?" My Homestuck phase, reaching forward through the years and slapping me upside the head: "HOW CAN SHAVING CREAM BE SO FLAMMABLE"

Am I the only one getting anxiety when he waves that live cable around

He's making me so anxious by just holding that damn thing in his hand all the time!

Kevin: *shocks weiner* Kevin: what is that sound? Dude in the back: its screaming for help

Me: Jamie pull that up Girl: Who's Jami- Me: We will never know.. Edit: I was just posting that for fun but ppl like high ranking cult member had to just ruin the fun. Thanks high ranking cult member, you just ruined my day.

"So if the science is right, I should live!" Famous last words

"Who's Jamie?"

"Jamie pull that up" - the JRE reference was great!

This guy is “Dont Try This at Home” but try it at your backyard.

7:30 - almost puts hand on live ac electricity

my friend told me this video would give me a new breed of anxiety and they were right. 10/10

“Jamie pull that up” “Who’s jami-“ 𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝

Electroboom would have shocked himself 20 times in this video.

I love how he said it’s a dangerous cord and then he is waving it around Willy Nilly

"Electrified Pickle" sounds like a rock band

This is why us americans only get 120volts instead if 220.

I appreciate quieting the sound level when everybody was screaming

Doctor: Electrified pickle isn’t real. It can’t hurt you Electrified pickle:

It is seriously a miracle this man is still alive

Him: “Don’t call it that” Her: “it literally says wiener on it”

"Jamie put that up." "Who's Jam-" Jamie: I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that.

0:49 “Jamie pull that up!” “Who’s Jamie” 😂😂😂

“Jamie pull that up” “Who’s Jamie” 😂 I’m actually dead

“Jamie, pull that up.” Confirmed DMT addict

this guy says: "don't try at home." when he is clearly doing this at home

Notice how the speaker resonates at 120Hz when we plugged it in! Love it

Nobody: "Florida man cooks Weiner with power cable"

4:18 "So now instead of plugging the hot dog directly in the wall..."

"Jamie pull that up!" "Who's Ja-?" LMFAOOO

We had one of those hot dog cookers in the 70s where you could cook lik6 hot dogs where the ends were stuck with probes. You slide the plastic cover overhead and turn it on. Slightly less hazardous than lawn darts. Keep up the great work. I miss Florida btw. 30 years. Half in st Lucie cry and half in the naples ft Myers area.

“This could be your weener if you play with electricity”

“Don’t try this at home” Is literally doing this in his backyard*

Kevin: “Don’t call it that, Sandra.” Also Kevin: “This could be *your* weiner!”

Fun fact: A double ended male plug extension cord like this is known colloquially among electricians as a "suicide lead". So... you know... you were very lucky.

You guys gotta use eye protection. Shrapnel is not a joke

I feel so threatened by him waving it around whilst it's live. An internet classic

Me: **sees title** Also me: *Poor choice of words*

“Jamie, pull that up.” “Who’s ja...” * pulls up clip anyway” Edit: thanks for the likes!! 2000 people

Everything’s fine and dandy until the pickle starts screaming in Rick’s voice

This guy is the living definition of a bored stay at home dad.

7:34, my dude literally about an inch from putting his hand on a live wire. Nice meme

4:05 "do you hear that?" "It's screaming for help"

Pretty concerned for your safety as an electrician. Also pretty dangerous to dust yourself off with compressed air. Godspeed champion. Try not to die.

What's neat about the subwoofer is that the US grid runs at 60hz. Which happens to be be RIGHT where the subwoofer likes to function. And that's why it was playing a 60hz baseline. If that was hooked up to a box it would have made a rather powerful bass tone. For as long as it lasts

And he turned himself into an electrically conductive pickle! Funniest thing I've ever seen!

4:31 sorry can’t eat today my hot dog’s charging 😔

I like how he plugged both ends of the cable into the same outlet so he didnt clickbait us

Him: Am I far enough away? His Girlfriend: I don't think I am far enough away
