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

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

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.

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.

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

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!!

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

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

So he’s literally just playing with a death cable

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

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

6:42: my brain in math class

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

“Jamie pull that up” “Who’s ja-“

1:21 "obviously I popped the breaker"

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

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

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

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

My coworker did this with various things he found around the shop years ago. It usually happened in the morning when everyone came back in after breakfast and smoking dope in their cars. He called it "extreme voltage testing".

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'm an electrician and was fun to watch as I get yelled at to much for doing stuff like this 🤣

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).

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

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

6:41 My backpack after entering Luton Airport

Love the energy in this video. You seemed to have a great time making it

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

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

I like this channel, talks about some science, sprinkles in comedy, and does tons action.

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

“This could be your weiner” ~Backyardscientist 2019

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.

Ah yes I too love cooking hot dogs by plugging them in.

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

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

All of this is wonderful :) good science and y’all are so happy obviously having a good time great to see :)

this is the silliest (loveliest) vid ever thank u i will be subscribing !!

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

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

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"

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

“Jamie pull that up”... “who Jamie?” Edit: after 2 year and only using 6 words I got 5k likes

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

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

"Smoke ring?" * proceed to break the sound barrier * * Complete silence *

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

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

You guys are having way too much fun..and dangerous too..hilarious!

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.

This guy’s becoming more of a front yard scientist

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

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

This is fantastic, I enjoyed every second!

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

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?"

I love the “who’s Jamie”

"Who's Jamie?"

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.

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

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

I love your videos and all of your friends and family I see taking part make the fun yall have more entertaining for me so thanks yall for what you do❤❤❤

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.

i didnt think id ever hear someone yell ELECTRIFIED PICKLE in my entire life

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

7:30 - almost puts hand on live ac electricity

he swinging that thing around makes me sweat nervously.

I'm very nervous watching this, yet I can't stop watching.

TheBackyardScientist: Jamey, pull that up! His wife: Who is Jamey? Stuff that was not recorded: IM BREAKING UP WITH YOU! YOUR CHEATING ON ME!

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

"yo pass the -aux cord- speaker wire" "You better not play -trash- 60hz 120vac" *Plays 60hz 120vac -like a boss- This garbage attempt at a meme has been brought to you by me.

"Electrified Pickle" sounds like a rock band

That isn’t soda

I wish I had the budget and time to this stuff. You make me want to this kind of stuff💯👍👍

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

Thumbnail: “I used the power to power the power”

"plugging things in that should NOT be plugged in" Sounds like something my sister'd do. Great idea!

Your one of the good youtubers love your videos keep doing great bro I hope you get as big as Mr beast or bigger

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

People when electricity was first discovered: "imagine what we could do with this in the future!" 2019: *ELECTRIFIED PICKLE*

I love how they were more freaked out by the shaving cream rather than the butane

It is seriously a miracle this man is still alive

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

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

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

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

I appreciate quieting the sound level when everybody was screaming

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

bro took "energy drink" to the next level

The freeze frame on the can explosion is like a album cover lol

"Jamie, pull that up!" "Who's Jamie?" Hahahaha!

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

Your mics are pretty good but the spray can still had it run for its money XD That sound was insaaaaaane.
