My understanding is that he's a master engineer in making his products comedically faulty but not lethal.

He actually knows a ton about electrical engineering, he's just a bit of a slapstick comedian.

The Jacob's ladder falling on him was legitimately a potentially fatal accident though; most of his shocks are painful but not too bad, +

+ that particular one could have put kilovolts across his heart if he was unlucky though.

He's in EXACTLY the right job. He's got a degree in electrical engineering, his youtube is a comedy representation of his profession.

When he tried to catch the fucking lightning towers I almost sharted

For all the staged accidents, that one was real. He literally almost died.

He said in an interview that was the closest to dying he's come.

Am I the only one annoyed by this beeping noise in every take? Why is it there?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

To cover up him swearing because he was just electrocuted.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

What is the purpose of that? I mean that noise is much worse than him swearing no?

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

He gets more money from Youtube if he bleeps it.

It's all obviously staged to help interest and inform the viewer, he's excellent

He's smart enough to know what he can safely do without serious risk of injury to himself or others.

I like it. It’s like Jackass but with sciencing

I thought this too, though one time he flew to London, he tripped all the fuses in a hotel and they evacuated the building.

5 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Some is, but he's gone on record saying that a lot of it is just genuine slips, which he leaves in as teachable moments

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

*most, not all. A few here and there are genuine mistakes. Like the arcing thingy, second last in this clip.

My thoughts are that he does what "regular" folk will attempt, and then shows the results. He then does it a better way after.
