The guy, instead of gawking at all the scientific hoo-ha in some 10 year oldest room, just set down and went to work. That is some serious professionalism and dedication to his job.
@@CapoElChivo He's in 4th grade because he's a genius, Buddy. But he's 4. He says it in an episode in the 1st season, I guess it's called "Dexter's Debt".
He may not understand the Science behind the machine, but he's an expert at understanding how electricity flows through wires and that's all he needs to get the job done.
@@Luigi-xg7hx He had to trace it 1st. From there he was able to determine what the function of that wire was.. Not everybody has the same color coding system when it comes to their electronics but given his experience this simply is something that he has seen before and before and knows what to do. That's what happens when you combine skills plus experience. You can take on any challenge.
@@OriginalLonelygstar I think you are trying to give s logic explanation to a funny moment. The guy was akward when he was deciding about the cables and then he became a profesional and upgrade Dexter's Laboratory. That's all, no big explanation, just a funny moment.
It’s an interesting discussion now that I’m older. Our facility uses grey for the network and yellow for smaller air lines in the system. That tripped me up at first, as there is also yellow cable wire for other components. It’s really one of those cartoon moments you could see your parents laughing about the typical bonehead engineer that designed something vs the grunt that has to work on the machine and deal with the engineer over thinking and forgetting the basics.
Dexter: "... You... You actually fixed it!" Electrician: "Sure did, I've been doing this since I was your age." Dexter: "Really? And how old are you now?" Electrician: "......... Carful what you ask, I haven't written the bill yet."
Well Super Mario Mario does have like so many jobs then just being a plumber from Brooklyn or a hero to the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario is a doctor he's like a referee for boxing he's a tennis coach he does all sorts of things he's an Olympic athlete!
Best part is, Arnie did in fact improve Dexter's lab to peak efficiency. Dexter is smart enough to build all these machines and computers in a lab so big there's technologically prehistoric sectors from when he first started inventing and building, but does not understand power consumption and efficiency. Arnie may not have understood the science, but he did the work and earned his money.
I agree, but in Dexter's defense, this dude just sort of showed up and started doing things to his stuff. He may not know about the power consumption but all he knows is what I just said. Plus the guy was condescending towards Dexter.
@@member-berry-bonbons1124 Fair enough, but in Arnie's defense, he was called to do a job and he didn't know what all the job was. What he knew was that from where he started and what he actually started working on, there was unknown wiring going somewhere else. He followed it, as an electrician would, and came upon a place that needed work, just like what he started with in the kitchen. At least, I think I remember it being the kitchen, it's been forever since I last saw this episode.
Really puts "isn't that cute, junior thinks he knows electronics" into perspective. Because the electrician is 100% in the right, and increases power efficiency by like 20 fold by the time he's done. If we assume this is a normal electrician and not some kind of absolute savant, Dexter is some kind of horrible kludgemeister of electronics, and worst of all, doesn't know he is. Dunning-Kruger effect in full swing.
Kid has a whole section of his lab full of machinery and/or inventions that he just abandoned. Didn’t disassemble or repurpose, just left to rot. There was even episode where he gets fed up with his mech for being a battered hunk of junk barely holding itself together and just builds a new one.
I feel like Dexter isn't all that focused on efficiency, but rather experimentation. His aim is to get something to work but after achieving success, doesn't try to streamline the process and moves on to the next project. The electrician comes along, doesn't understand what the machine is 'supposed' to do, but he knows a bad wiring job when he sees one.
This is why I like reading comments on RU-vid. Lots of wholesome and clever people from whom I can learn something and/or from whom I can get reassurance that the world is a great place.
@@Made_In_Mayhem it makes sense because Dexter's Laboratory was also made by Genndy Tartakovsky who also made Samurai Jack both the original 4 Seasons for Cartoon Network and season 5 on Adult Swim.
RU-vid: "I'm just gonna adjust this video of a cartoon as "Made for Kids." Creators: "WHAT!? Do you not understand this is a nostalgic cartoon from present day adults childhoods!?" RU-vid: "Aww, how cute, the creator thinks he knows how videos work."
This is very much the dynamic between software engineers and scientists who have to code as part of their work. The latter focus on getting results, but unfortunately often paint themselves into a corner when they need to e.g. run the experiment at 10x the scale - that's where engineers step in and do the programming equivalent of what this guy did. Ultimately these are two different skill sets.
Ernie- Well the work’s all done. Here’s the bill. Mom- $40,000?! Sounds a bit pricey. Should’ve had my husband do it. _Dad sprints in._ Mom- No honey, not you.
Earlier he had a robot fly spy on this guy and thought because he swatted it, like any natural human being would do, that he was an enemy. The joke of the series of him being a boy genius but still an idiot is clever.
Dexter is a little kid, so it's not really a joke as much as it is just realistic. That's what I love about Dexter's Laboratory; the characters have a balance between exaggerated and realistic traits. To quote Gumball Watterson, Dexter might be smart for his age, but he's still his age. He's a normal child no matter how genius he is. An IQ test I took when I was a young child said I was a genius but I'm 100% sure I did more stupid things when I was little than I can remember. 😅
@@VilaToro64 Back on Facebook when it was trendy for people to make long posts about celebrity deaths, Christine Kavanaugh's death was the one that genuinely made me sad since her work was so iconic across so much media.
Dexter may have the brains, but he certainly lacks the experience. He's a genius, but still a kid, and will act his age, no amount of smarts could take that away.
Same goes for Daria, who is intelligent but still a teenager. She makes bad choices occasionally, such as getting her belly button pierced solely for Trent. She did something "stupid" for a guy, as Jane said. Also love how _Dexter's Laboratory_ gives characters a great balance between exaggerated traits and realistic traits. Great way with the character writing ❤
Electrician: Oh ho ho, the kid thinks he knows electronics. Now you run along, Junior, and play with some balls or something. The big man's gotta work. Did you see the balls joke there?
we also find out dexter'sfamily is robably incredibly rich in savings. like absudly so, given the bill the dad unquestionably pays at the end. llike hes shocked, then he's like "oh well"
My experience with electricians is, that they're good at laying and plugging cables in correctly. Even though they don't have an idea what the devices they connect actually do and how they work exactly.
I'm gonna assume the toaster thing is like that scene in the chucky cheese-parody episode where the animators missunderstood something and made the audience litearlly fly away rather than just leave. So I'm gonna go on a limb and assume he was supposed to be in a tanning bed rather than inside a toaster.
YES. There was in fact a miscommunication for the Korean animators, who were supposed to animated the audience "taking off" as in leaving the area, but they thought of the other definition for "taking off": flying away.
It's the classic (or maybe not so classic) "anyone over the age of 30 is dafter than somebody a quarter of their age"-trope. What doesn't seem to be shown, is the mental prowess the man may actually be keeping secret himself.
this is the exact same thing that happened to me today lol. I'm a programmer, i look young, i setup a really cool network in my house with repeaters and access points in every floor, etc. So im technically savvy, but today a technician from the ISP came to install a new cable and had trouble setting up my router so i did it, and while i was doing it he said don't touch those settings you are gonna mess up the internet. He also wanted to isolate the internet cables so the "kids" wouldn't be able to break the fiber. Lol dexter feels
@@JohnSmith-wx9wj its because he misses the whole meaning of this episode. Same how in the Pinky and the Brain its not just "black & white" how you might assume/think at first glance (their names = 100% reallity). Its much more deep......
He showed them at 1 point & that was the episode where they had Zord like vehicles which formed a Megazord like fighting machine to take down the giant axe monster Dexter accidentally released. At the end of the episode, Dexter erased his parents memory. Dexter also found out his lab monkey was Monkey the superhero, but Monkey erased Dexter's memories.
I always liked this episode, it show that even if Dexter is a science genius, there are some areas that other people domain better than him, like this electrician man that made Dexter's machine more optimized.
All I could say was... Poor Dexter's parents. Though it was all accidental, Dexter ended up running a $40,000.00 bill which his Mom only paid in pennies. It's been a while since I've seen the episode, but the electrician accidentally discovered the lab when he found certain wires when he was hired to fix a different (common) problem & I forget what that was.
@@member-berry-bonbons1124 I liked the ice cream man episode. "Do you know how long it took me to count those pennies?" "I can't even eat ice cream because of the pain!...All because of your STUPID PENNIES! (angry yell followed by huffing & puffing)." Dexter: "Do you have change for a one hundred?"
A regular electrician can fix any advanced technology only created by a genius? Thats like calling any electrician on a newspaper ad and making him fix a hadron collider!
The electrician just by ensuring that the wiring of the lab is systematic, improves efficiency of the lab from 40 percent to 110 percent optimal efficiency as reported at the end of the episode by the mother computer ... 😂
