I saw this ESD-gun in another video and presumed it was some kind of taser just for laughs... turns out it's quite useful.


Does that thing actually hurt that much? Bc  I have a whimshurst machine and sparks from it that long just sort of tickle and don't really hurt


found this channel through Cody's Lab.  After seeing the featured video, I immediately subscribed and am starting at video one.


Brilliant! :) Educational, funny, and hopefully you don't hurt yourself too much on these videos :)
As you said: "everything for science" :D

(Seriously, watching one of these will make anyone avoid the mistakes you demonstrate :D )


What!! The difference between his new videos and this.He broke bad.


"The tip of the gun here simulates a human finger Gets electrocuted
Ack s***!

"The tip of the gun here simulates a human finger *Gets electrocuted*
Ack s***!


I have 1 doubt, when you passed electricity through board, which is actually a semiconductor, you seemed to have a very high jolt. Though it must not be there. Because conduction of a semiconductor is very less.


When building modern day desktops is this still a big deal?


So ... i just realised that in about a week i watch all of you videos ... just 3 or 4 left ... ouch you're so funny


ROFL, ElectroBOOM you are going to turn green one day and have super powers  :)

Mane this is the best learning and laughing at the same time video I have ever seen.!!! New Fan


I love how there are comments for which people and I want to say, but then it's already posted...

TRIGGERED!


why do you keep zapping your self? it is bad for your kidneys fyi!


I always get a laugh from your videos.<br>Keep up the good work!

I always get a laugh from your videos.
Keep up the good work!


Just a random guys look for a 3-D printer to print a clone of you so i will never get zapped myself 😄


Don't worry, it's just a FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER


It amazes me that your hair is not standing on end considering all the painful jolts you take at times.

I am the same way.  No hair (or not as much as I had 30 years ago).


0:52 "never hold the board with your hand while zapping it " well no shit i have no experience in this field but I sure as shit would know not to hold it while it's going through the board


i m back in your first video to congrats for your future 1Millione subs!


Guess what, im straightt

nobody cares about either of us


very funny and useful, lol lol. pas in video 3d printer chera pak shode?


u have become the person who got the most no. of electrical shocks


This was way better than I expected. Thank you.


Why does this video appeared in my recommended videos while it's your first video?


Next videos he will be demonstrating Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Fuels and Ordnance.


My EMC lab was always the most popular on the annual "Take Your Kid To Work and Scare Hell Of of Him With All the Boring Things You Do Day" because I would let each kid wield my ESD gun, in a slightly darkened lab, and zap an old circuit board at 30 kV. Over the years, I added a home-brew Tesla coil and a Jacobs Ladder (made from an old neon sign transformer, which could set a piece of copier paper on fire). No executive would dare cut my budget because that might endanger next year's show for his kids!


I'm really curious about whether this guy will be ALS or not. because we are actually considering that chronical electrical stimulation of the nerves can trigger your ALS. Probably a genetical basis is necessary and this man doesn't seem to have it. But still this man is a godsent for our research.


the tip of the gun here simulates a human finger uck s**t


I found this hilariously funny, and I don't know why.


I hate everything with the word " discharge" it's just a gross word


the shocks he gets are high voltage with extremely low amperage, and unless the shocks go through your heart or brain you are fine, A little scarred but fine. Otherwise all electricians would be dead within the first 3 years of working.


because it's his first video, and people love the guy, so they come to see where he started.

Actually, its not his first. For some reason, he deleted some of his older videos, maybe because he wanted to keep them related to only electronics and shit.

The league of noobs Well, people think it's his first, so kinda the same thing as far as my answer's concerned..


My sis's teacher shows your vids to learn


WELL ! the question here is can ESD damage a laptop motherboad ? and if so can it be fixed???

KNI Slaughterer yes, it can damage even a chip and that's permanently damaged


What are you doing in this video? Real pain in ...


Please eyebrow dance to "I'm a hazard to myself. Don't let me get me..." and tag me when you do :P<br>pink or avril levine or something

clearly this video is fake there's no way someone's that dumb.

its called comedy, but you seem to lack it...

Magnus Loecke<br>Bitch first off I hate comedy secondly I'm trying to found out things so I don't need people like this guy making fake videos wasting my time.

Magnus Loecke
Bitch first off I hate comedy secondly I'm trying to found out things so I don't need people like this guy making fake videos wasting my time.

Good videos aren't fake, he keeps the mishaps in, because that will teach numbnuts not to touch AC and so on, it's a very effective way if doing things

Well, clearly if you are on youtube " trying to found out things ", maybe your graduation is a mistake on the school part ..

"Maybe my graduation is a mistake on the schools parts." Dude school teaches you about your history, mathematics, science, & English which is proper grammar in which you clearly don't have any because you said is and you should've said was because due to me already graduating it's past tense which means it already happened. School doesn't teach you ANYTHING about hardware. The closest thing you're going to get to school teaching you about hardware is compass & that's a software. This was a video about hardware.

The first thing you did was seen what I said went to my profiles
stocking me like a weird kid and pointed out the easiest thing to try to
 pick on me about and tried to diss me. I'm a high school graduate with
26 credit. You only need 24 to graduate.  I "WAS" (past tense) a
licensed carpenter for my state by the age of 20. So you want to talk
shit about my success but where's yours to prove? You don't even have a profile picture kid. You know it's a fact that people who don't have profile picture feel that they're ugly or are ones who are shy or have low self esteem? Did you also know that people tend to pick on others about what they don't like about themselves? You must've not graduated and dropped out before you were smart enough to stick it out. Yeah I would've been to embarrassed to have a profile picture of my failure face like yours if I dropped out wand was nothing in life.

On top of an obvious lack of sense of humor .. he's quite a butthurt :/

He is a real electrical engineer. If you dont like comedy, then simply avoid his channel :/

Tyler Campbell Thanks to acapella man, i saw your butthurt reaction(s) and finally took the time to read that.

Well English is not my native language so i might make some mistake from time to time.
Nonetheless, your graduation being an actual mistake in the present day, not sure your correction was even correct.

But then i took the time to read your second comment..
And coming from someone speaking English on a daily basis and criticizing others, i see a great " stocking me like a weird kid " ..
Really ? Stocking ? Wanna talk about your graduation where you're only taught " about your history, mathematics, science, & English "
So back to my original point : your graduation is a current mistake :)

It's a " fact " that people with no picture profile are shy or with self esteem " ? A fact ?
More like they don't give a single shit about social acceptance like whiny little attention whore like yourself..

I'm really starting to ask myself what they teach in your school :/

If you want more " facts " people always swearing, insulting and so on tend to be insecure and are trying to camouflage their weaknesses. That would tell A LOT about you ;)

So long, butthurt

you're such a fucking nerd y'all say y'alls same internet geek insults if they're even hurt as if y'all think y'all are actually cool and it's going to hurt someone. Please quick with the internet terms geek squad and get a life.

Cool guy Tyler, your as much of a nerd as the rest of us you numbnut, you probably aren't the most social guy, since you don't understand comedy, and comedy is the building brick of must mens friendships, and at least my squad, no shame in being smart and funny...

Thanks for repeatedly proving all of us who the real problem is in here ;)

Ps : " if they're even hurt " " Please quick with the internet terms " ..
Are you having seizure due to too much anger and can't type correctly anymore ? Or is it another proof of your graduation being a mistake ?

Adrien Cailleaux<br>oh here we go another individual taking down on me about my success. Bitch I'm more successful than you'll ever be kid. You're making fun of my profile picture? Well where the hell is yours? I'm a high school graduate with 26 credits and a Carpentry certificate. It's not my fault that people like you fail in life and think that everything is a joke kid but don't take your failure out on me.

Adrien Cailleaux

It's not my fault that people like you fail in life and think that everything is a joke kid but don't take your failure out on me.

Tyler Campbell Success, you keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means .. Especially when you know the quality of the educational system in the U.S. ..

You need to get some learning skills. You were the one mentioning profile picture in the first place as if that was the proof of anything. No one but you think people give a shit about that, AGAIN :/

Adrien Cailleaux Actually kid it's a fact that people who don't have a profile picture have low self esteem which means something must've happened to you in your life to make you think that you weren't good enough and THAT'S why you don't have a profile picture. You say they U.S. educational system is messed up? How would you know you never went to a U.S. school?  and if you have do you mean both of our education is a low quality education system? It's a lose lose situation from where you're stand so just sthu because if you didn't go then you would know and if you went what you're trying to tease me about is hypocritical because you have the same education. You use these internet terms saying how I'm "butthurt" *fucking nerd  then Get all offensive hmmm I wonder why that is? Possibly did you not finish and so what I said got to you now? I think I found your weak spot kid. You have no education and now that I mentioned it it gets to you. ok kid America education system is messed up although we have the strong I believe it's military in the WORLD but America's education system is messed up ok.

Adrien Cailleaux<br>and people do care about that. You kind of need an education for a real job because social media is the easiest way to for a hiring manager to look you up without even giving you a call yet and if they do so and see my profile picture that means I graduated, even better look at my cover photo and it'll show not only my high school diploma but my carpentry certificate. So yeah if you think it doesn't matter then you're sadly mistaking the factors of having an education. You know what what would you know you never had an education to be able to even fill out an application for a real job in order for a manager to look you up.

Imbecile just finish your studies first noob

Everyone disagrees with you Tyler why not just leave!? Or maybe rethink why others have a different opinion than yours.


YOOOOOOOOOO, THE HAVE THE SAME HOME PHIONE AS U!!!!1!!!!!1


bro mehdi I love your way of explaining science with comedy..  keep it up


wow this one really must have hurt, I honestly do not enjoy suffering, but those first ones where hilarious.


used to have one of those diy spark generators. zapped my dad's glasses while he playing solitaire. almost got backfisted in the face by my dad. the effect is amplified when u have the element of surprise. subscribed.


just wondering are purposely messing up??

Marty Mooney Yeah, that's the joke. Also takes learning by example to a new level.


why is it on white foam nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo get some pink !!!


Are you STUPID?! Do you not learn from your mistakes????

+snark loaf I think he has a fetish for getting shocked

+snark loaf Dude, its called an act. The reason why he doesn't tell people that he's only joking is because he assumes that everyone has enough brains to understand that he's only messing around with us and that he shocks himself on purpose. You lack sense of humor.


I'm confused about something, it is proved that electrons go from a negative pole to a positive pole, then the material, metal, or device actually discharges on you going to the ground (Positive pole), so how does that finger simulator machine works?

I'm guessing that's a simple voltage generator. Excellent video though.


Great humor and still very educative video's. Fantastic !


Like als je van het zoomvliet dit moet kijken.


Not sure if you are a idiot or a genius but i love your videos, subscribe next... :-)


OMG, I wish I had that ESD gun when I was a kid! I used to arc the circuits on my broken TI-99 with a screwdriver just to watch the sparks! Is there a schematic to make that ESD gun? Does it work just like a taser, just with a fancy case that makes it look this way?


BWAHAHAHA, this guys (intentional) mistakes are funny enough to make me sub lawl.


That was great!! Thanks for the laughs ... drop the swearing, it detracts from this presentation and limits the audience.


Ouch. Those shocks must reeeeeeeealy hurt.


Du bist der Beste, ich lach mich schlapp ;-)


This is what happens when I'm trying to present something seriously for once. XD


This guy is awesome, he never learns and always shocks himself. You need some fine work gloves.


peace be upon you :D , my name is Mahmoud , I'm from Egypt and I'm a student at Al-Azhar university faculty of engineering electrical department , I like your videos so much and can you please make something more educational <del>in a systematic way</del> so that we can benefit , many many thanks :D

my god.. How a so shitty video can make 2 millions views??? LOL

Obviously... its 2 million cuz it is not crappy

Commander HaloFORGES741 How can there be 2 million views if there is only 6,000 people on the planet? Obviously Mehdi has figured out how to hack youtube and added a bunch of fake views himself. ;)

The Trick is getting himself get hurt in a fun way.. Humans love that shit, watching other human gets hurt as long as nobody gets killed.

***** That's impossible because I know like 9 people and I am pretty sure at least one of those people is actually two little people standing on each other's shoulders.


@74arya he charged it with the gun and the board wasn't grounded, meaning the electricity didn't have anywhere to go until he touched it, thus grounding it. :)


Please explain me even not connected through an electricity, how could you get shocked? (at 1:19)


مهدی جان دمت گرم, Finebros تو رو به من معرفی کرد! یکی از بهترین چنل ها رو داری... کیپ آپ د گود وورک!


why now everytime i got home from work and tried to open my gate with my hand i always get shocked? it's not used to be like that before. someone said it has something to do with driving a car and touching metal stuff just like me.

When you touch your car, your charge becomes the same as the car. As the gate has a different charge to you now, when the you touch it, the electrons would flow (current in other words) and ZAP!

I should say a difference in charge that of big enough for you to notice. Note the difference in charge is also known as voltage.


I wonder if you keep shocking yourself on purpose because on every video that I've seen of you you shock yourself at least two to three times and you're trying to teach people how not to suck themselves but you keep doing it or are you just really that stupid

arod He's an electrical engineering professor.  He purposely shows you what happens when you're not careful with electrical things. Go to his site "electroboom(dot)com", and you'll see how intelligent he is. You have to be really smart to be a professor, no? He's got a ton of fans and followers, and we love him.

Its a joke

Also its you're


ahahaha..i subcribe you bro! FUCKING FUNNY! XDD LMFO


I love watching other people get zapped. zap zoop.  #getzapped  #getrektilluminati360noscopesggawpaugfazesnipingclan


Ur 1000 times better then smosh and stuff


I just learned that you can electrically charge objects and that electricity, sort of like water will rush to the nearest point with the least resistance. Or maybe I've got that wrong?

Yes, you can charge objects that are not grounded. You can charge yourself by petting a cat for example if you are wearing rubber shoes and the air is dry. Airplanes also charge themselves up to very high voltages. They have to be discharged before the passengers get out. An accidental discharge on the wrong spot is what set the zeppelin Hindenburg ablaze in 1937.


Made me laugh while studying for my for my A+. Thanks.


Lol XD . Again hurter hisself that what i loved XD .


Can you make a jet engine <br>محرك نفاث ?


You are crazy!!! And awesome!! And i still crack up every time you "accidentally" zap yourself


Ok now that was just too funny, but I definitely learned something.


Lol so fake.. what did you use.. photoshop lel xD?

Wut? What do you think is fake around here?


Thank you Mehdi for making me laugh like never before. Fantastic video, thanks for sharing! Now I´ll have a look around your channel :-)


just started watching your channel today ,lol .love it ,very entertaining and great teacher


if he was an electrical engineer, he was from crazy sort of it.


I'm sorry for laughing maniacally at your misery sir, still thanks for the tip!


really how are you not dead or have serious burns with the stupid stunts you pull ?

Because he's a qualified electrical engineer in and knows what he's doing and does this on purpose.


I dont know who this man is.... but I love his psa's <br>still laughing my ass off

I dont know who this man is.... but I love his psa's
still laughing my ass off


I'm trying to add ram to my computer am I in danger of getting shocked like that because I just unplugged it like 5 minutes ago


I've seen all your vids man MAKE ME LAUGH HARD could not stop Laughing


Dobrej humor :D Vůbec nepochybuju o tom že se ze sebe blbce jenom dělá.


Hm I'm more into textile structures and textile engineering but I do enjoy your videos lmao.


Just found your channel. Great sense of humor! Keep up the good work Sir.


haha, i wonder if he demonstrated it this way intentionally?

All on purpose for our entertainment. He knows what he is doing.


25 kilo-volt! Now, I'm getting scared! Why the kilo's?

It is really low amperage. Now I cannot tell you that you can put a million volts on yourself and not get hurt because I would be lying. Amps do play a part though and so 25KVolts is not that dangerous at .0005 Amps!


I would appreciate knowing how did you ground the device a under a test before zapping it. Thanks!


This video was showed in a MTV tv show called Ain't That America. I hope they let you know that they were using your video, also they claim to only use videos from the US i guess they didnt know you are from Canada.

I'm not sure which episode it was but I think that for sure it was one of the episodes in season 2


This gives me a good idea for a prank xD


hhahaha this is actually funny, his stupidity of getting shocked is a good laugh.


How much this gun costs? Do you need a license for it?


Did you notice how bald he's getting . His hair is sick of the electric shocks , and is starting to break & jump off his head . Zap , Zap & Snap .


haha, sorry but i laughed so hard, this is just fantastic :p.


The +192V used to power a VFD can give you a pretty good jolt too.  Been there done that.


Probably the same thing that happened to his hand!


I was curious what esd was....EVERY computer video i watch warns about it lol...one guy even said go outside & assemble on concrete if all i have is carpet for open space

That is crazy! I have be working on old and new computers for 3 years and NEVER had a ESD cause equipment failure!

I know this is an old comment, but how do you know? ESD isn't always visible or feel-able. You might not completely brick something with an ESD, but you might cause a small problem to it which will lead to it developing a small, difficult-to-detect problem that would be very difficult to trace back to the ESD, which you didn't even feel or see.


So looks like something I would personally end up doing...


This gave me a good laugh. Thank you :-)


don't watch this while you are eating...


Zap Zap , Ouch #%"#% , why is my hair standing on end ?


I like to put dildos in my vagina and have multiple orgasms


Thanks Medhi! You're like Bill Nye but much braver.


What happen if i zap a dildo while using it?


@TheBlackDeityAkantor Well when cloth and cloth are rubbed together they create ESD, the the ESD is stored inside your body and the when you come in contact to the metal car frame it discharges just like in the video.


Random question, Every time I get in my mother's car or any car, go for a drive around town, when I get out and close the door, I get zapped/electrocuted. Why does this happen?


Doesn't the human body only have around 1000 Ohm?


Do you have a graduate degree in electrical engineer iirc? :P Good video. LOL


Dude, you are a fucking billionaire, go buy a few...


You should discharge any static electricity you have built up by touching the metal on the computer case, or the grounded part of the outlet.


It's fake all of them are but it's okay he made then look real he's an engineer so he can things pop but he's not getting hurt and that electric gun looks fake just look at the tip it looks really cartoonish


so when im repairing my motherboard i should connect it to the ground of what? :D


Do an alternator plz I wanna see metal go red hot


Would love to see a video on home CPU building and ESD.


His showing you what not to do. He does it and shows you what will happen if you do it yourself. His tazing himself over and over so you won't.


is this guy from iran cuz he has the accent


I'm glad safety is your number one priority..


No offense, but it's really hard to trust what a person says after he has been tased multiple times.


This helped me study for my engineering finals in the best way possible.


hi im mehdi sadaghdar and this is jackass


Thumbs up if you scrolled down for a good joke about his unibrow


i love the look when you say. "alway be careful with your tools"


that unibrow acts as a voltage multiplier


Is this guy related to LA Beast . They are both bumdasses with a death wish !


*ZZZAAAPP* "Always be careful with your tools."
This is great man, very good video.


i have mini heart attacks seeing him in his videos... i hope no big accident will happen... phew...


Double LOL, when one LOL just doesn't cut it..... hahaha oh man!


This is good stuff, I showed this to some coworkers in the lab and we all got a good chuckle. :)


No really? Duh? You think he was this stupid? Man, some people on the Internet...


at first it was funny but after watching a few more times it look like he was doing it on purpose so its not funny anymore


haven't laughed that hard in a long time.


I bet some of the safety rules were figured out this way ;-)


Remember the good old days of CRT monitors? I got number of zaps that time.


its even sensitive to your finger AH SHI****
-pokerface- :| always be careful with your tools.


How do you get rid of it from your fingers?


Ok then , do you know how much those things hurt , he isn't swearing because he is having a good time . If he is doing it on purpose , just to get attention to himself on YouTube , he is really doing it the hard way . I would never do that deliberately .  So basically , either way , mistake or on purpose , this guy has to be kidding !


if it was a mistake, do you really think he would upload it?


I hope that this is just a well calculated joke , because , if this was a series of mistakes , you better get another job !


25kV (so 25000V) is not lethal as long as current is next to non-existant. It just stings like a motherfucker.

Seriously man. Message me if you do get here darylw@innovatve.co.nz
I'm the only Daryl in the company and we are always looking for talented people with a sense of humor.


Dude I need another engineer and we work in offline SMPS. so we need someone who can take a hit now and again. Contact me if your ever in New Zealand. No really.....


I don't always look through youtube videos, but when I do - Eye brows.


subbed....i almost cried i laughed so hard


Man that's funny. Been there done that. Co-worker once grabbed hold of an active AM broadcast tower. New experience for him for sure. Lucky for him the contact was not a good one. Needless to say it lit his ass up. Had to go to the ER and get morphine for all the burns in his hands. Thanks for posting this vid.


This is his 1st and best video because he doesn't try to act too much and plays it naturally. It's the funniest of all his vids.


I bet you have a masters in electrical engineering


dude your fokin hilarious you made my day :)


Hilarious!  I want to work with this guy.  Oh wait.  Maybe not.


you should hold a light bulb in your hand and it would power up


Hahahaaa....you're very funny! Thanks for the video. :)


Don't you find it odd that the company that makes most of the Hipot testers used in our industry is called SLAUGHTER?


I thought he would learn after the first time he electricuted himself


oh my god, i'm gonna s*** my pants, that s*** was funny


Electrocution = death. If he were electrocuting himself we wouldn't be seeing this video. He was shocked.


This reminds me of Tim the tool man taylor


How do you discharge a board before touching it?


one question... where do i get an ESD simulator?


Before I see this video did not understand electricity, but now I'm scare, it is dangerous for god sake... shame on you Benjamin Franklin


Lol Idk if he's trolling us or he's just clumsy but he should make more videos they are hilarious!


Epic way to combine a 150 IQ with youtube.


I find watching this man torture himself does more for safety education than most lecturers' nagging about safety protocol :D


my god...i never thought i would learn something new and lmao at the same time xD

please keep doing what u do ;D


Lol I can see myself doing the same thing as you and getting zapped...


torture, in the name of science and knowledge.


They cost thousands of dollars. If you don't really need one, don't waste your money.


im smarter than him when it comes to safety... :facepalm:


people had to run to my office to see what I was yelling about. That made me howl laughing


Hahahaha I'm pissing myself!  Please keep posting videos bro, I can't stop laughing!  Also, I'm learning stuff at the same time lol.


what the f*ck was that??? it's funny though XD


I just love watching this video over and over again


Wanna know about me ? I am a gun. When weather goes dry, I get statics from every metal I touch. Use me instead for ESD testing ....


Merci , kheli ghoob bood, lotfan zeadtarbezare !!!


I love how one of the recommended videos is "Frank Zappa".


HOLY Crap that was funny wasn't it!  I was in tears laughing Mehdi you are hilarious!


I love when he shocks his finger, then cut the video, and bam! (serious face) "always be careful with your tools", like this all scene was intended :D This guy is a new-time legend ^^


I thought engineer humour was supposed to be lame


Anyone thats far along in college to use a scientific instrument already knows all these concepts. Its just a joke.


Lol no shit I said he hurt himself to show dummies the incorrect way to handle hardware.


This guy is certainly going through a lot of pain and shock to get the message across.


I LOLed until my ass started producing ESD


She also can't figure out the difference between then and than


Did you just call Science fake bitch? Because that's what I heard. ELECTRO STATIC DISCHARGE IS A REAL THING!


I was drinking oragne juice and eating a hot dog when I clicked play. Now they're everywhere. And I think I drooled while laughing for the first time!


Next time make some funny videos with lathe :)


love this. perfect demonstration of objects holding a charge.


I noticed that as soon as I hit enter. I knew you'd probably call me on it. Sadly YouTube has no edit feature.

I'm glad you approve. I certainly would have been the definition of hypocrite if I got offended. Cheers!


Upper case letter on "Thank".

....my God, you're right Josh! It's like eating freaking potato chips. Ya can't just stop at one! (Though I must say, I heartily approve of your reply. Brynn should learn to both own her errors and be so succinct.)


Always be careful with your tools! LMFAO!!!!
Always discharge your charge board before touching it! ROFLMAO!!!


Yet you can't figure out the difference between "your and you're". I don't expect anybody to be perfect. I didn't insult you. I only corrected a word. Then you got defensive and insulting. Sounds like you need to re-evaluate your self before you try and fix me.


I don't think it would work unless you could keep yourself from being grounded. If you're grounded you would just keep getting shocked.


Very interesting! Pretty stupid for and engineer but funny.


I don't believe so; you would have to completely insulate yourself from your environment just to hold the charge, and you'd get zapped just as hard as the first person you touch while losing any stored static in that single discharge.
So, feasible, but not practical.


That was brilliant, whatever happens next, You'll always remember after watching this.


who cares he did this on purpose or not, I did LMAO


i think he did this on purpose and you all are idiots.


meanwhile in Indias top secret advanced research facility....


If all you mean to say is that we're all humans, then stop being obtuse and say it. This is still an over simplification (unless your capacity for perception is so poor you can not see the different qualities of each human, but I doubt that...) of reality. Some humans habitually do things to help others. Some habitually harm others. Some are smarter than others, etc.,etc. You can pretend this isn't true by repeating that we're equal, but you aren't conveying what you really mean.


And now is when I revert to my previous statement, nothing better to do then correct people and I do not need a spelling tutor if I can spell Antidisestablishmentarianism which I can or if I can spell  Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia which again I can so I doubt I need "A spelling tutor" The problem is my typing Because I type so fast that I don't hit the correct keys or I don't check my spelling. Don't expect everyone to be perfect I'm only human.


*have and *bored. "Get a spelling tutor"


If you're so dense you can't follow that simple analogy, I don't know how you expect me to hold your hand through it. A pound is a pound, no matter what form it comes in. Jack is 200 lbs, Jill is 100 lbs. They're both human beings, that's one point of equality. For the sake of argument we will assume that they are less than 4% body fat, each. Jack is then stronger, where Jill would be more agile. He can lift more, she can fit in tighter areas and is likely more flexible and agile.


*sigh* Are you really this dense? Again, I will explain it, but this is the last time. I never said name recognition was an impact, I said it is a SYMPTOM of impact. We're all equal, whether you like it or not. There's a reason it's the foundation of the U.S. legal code, even if some choose to ignore it. And I'm perfectly rational, you're the one being a complete jackass about the whole thing.


0:50 thats what happens when a child plays with elecricity.


This guy made my day he should do a gun safety ad for the NRA !  cant stop laughing!!


Get some popcorn's and start clicking on "Show the comment" :D


I guess only if you're not grounded and if the air is dry enough.


I'm still waiting for you to tell me how your earlier analogy between, "1 unit (pounds) of feathers is equal to 1 unit (pounds) of lead" holds up? The part you are equating is weight. Exactly what unit are you using to equate Jack and Jill?


The recognition of a name has nothing to do with the impact some one has had on society. You are stretching all bounds of reason with this statement. Britney Spears has not had a significant impact on society relative to someone like Tesla, who the average individual has never heard of. Your imposition of your own values, that is that every one is equal, is hypocritical. As I said, you can equate everyone all you like, it won't change how I value others. You're irrational period.


The recognition of a name is a reflection of the impact someone has had on society. To compare the two is hardly absurd, it illustrates my point. Also, your values on others are both selfish and immaterial. It doesn't change the fact that everyone is equal. Different, but equal.


I call BS! What model and brand of ESD gun is that?

I've used an ESD gun before and it does not give off arks like that.


Lol. I'm crying right now. Funny videos!!


Even though he gets fucked up in everyone of his videos u actually learn what hes trying to teach u!!!


Yes if u want to get shock many times with that gun for just to shock someone :D


Please ... If you have nothing better to than correct people on a website then I do suggest that you do at least one of the following things "Get a life" "Get a girlfriend" "Get a job" I already know you probably hae a girlfriend and maybe a job but if you are so bord that all you can do to keep yourself "entertained" (if this is what you would consider entertainment) then get a life and if you argue "oh I have a job and a girlfriend or a life blah blah blah" or something then you have no life.


omg XD now it has 100 points to thunder resistance XD


It's like Mr. Wizard and Jackass all rolled into one!


Dude, fan for life.  You are so f'ing funny.  Watching all your viedoes now!


guess why....go on...i know you can do it..


Haha, I'd hate to see what you would do to your wife. Shocking!!!


He's worse than Tim Taylor, but in all his videos I can predict the hazard and I'm no professional, so why can't he?


Dude...how the heck this guy made it to adulthood???


As an electronic technician myself, I really appreciate what this man goes through to make these videos.  I'm hoping he'll get into repairing an inverter drive for a 3 phase 480 volt ac Motor with a 750 Volt DC Buss.  That should be interesting.


i know its funny nd evrythin but he is so informative.i mean not any1 will shows u wat happens when u do wrong things.


Im subbing xD this is too funny :))) pls tell me are u doing all that on purpose ??


You have a great idea here, hilarious, unsafe, yet informative. I love it.


The recognition of a name has nothing to do with the influence one has had on society. To compare the negative effects that Bundy had on those whom he murdered, and their loved ones, to the widespread positive effect Tesla has had on BILLIONS is absurd. The values one may place on another are individual. You may equate all as the same all you like, it does not change my evaluation of others and the relative values I give them.

There is no measure for equality by definition.


Oh uh try not to hurt yourself... just telling us is good enough, you dont need to like.. you know hurt your hands all the time. Thanks for posting man, your awesome.


ahahahahaaaa)))))))) this made my day)))


You my friend, Are  genuinely fucking HILARIOUS.


LOL I had no idea how funny this was going to be.


This guy is a modern-day Tim Allen on Tool Time.


I want you to know that my laughter was worth your pain ;)


Uhm...preeeeeetty sure Ted Bundy didn't contribute much to society with his actions, but he certainly had an impact. Contributions to society aren't impact, contributions to society *have* an impact. But so do school shootings.


I actually learn shit from this guy now if school was like this...


This is literally the funniest video I've seen during this entire 8 hour shift.


You are awesome... hahaha. Excellent video.


This is like jackass for nerds.  I like it!


Persian ladies, The khasteghar you all are looking for is here. Look at that authentic unibrow!


Your sacrifice for the betterment of humanity is appreciated!!!


Excellent timing and execution of showing the potential dangers of an electrostatic discharge.


I'd like to see this guy light some fireworks xD


You seem to know a lot about electronics, but very little on how to use them safely. Thank you for the lulz.


My perspective is hardly over-simplified, nor dangerous to my health. We are all of us equivalent. Ted Bundy is easily as recognizable a name as Nikola Tesla, and both had profound impacts on the world through their actions, good or bad. Contributions to society aren't a measure of equality between individuals, but a measurement of actions. And indeed, Jack and Jill are different sizes and sexes, and qualitatively different, but that doesn't make them unequal.


I echo this sentiment! I feel like an Earth Citizen too :)


I disagree with the statement that we are all equivalent. Nikola Tesla was more valuable than Ted Bundy. But then, I am discriminating between the two given their contributions to society. Your perspective over simplifies everything and is actually dangerous to your own health. Besides, humans have different body weights, so how does your analogy hold up? Jack is 200lbs, Jill is 100lbs. Not only are they different weights but they are qualitatively different.


Or that medicines like primaquine can cause hemolysis in people of African and Mediterranean descent. So what? Why should we care about ethnic backgrounds, just because that knowledge could potentially save our lives? Silly facts, ethnicity.


There was nothing inappropriate about that. Dogs are living creatures, they come in different breeds, same as humans. Except that we call our different breeds "races," which is in direct contradiction to the phrase "human race." It *is* the human race, but we come in different breeds, exhibiting different traits. It is these differences that prevent us from all being the same, but they also make us equal, despite our differences.

Also, dogs think. I don't understand how you think they don't.


"Equal" is not "same." We are all equal, but that doesn't mean we're the same, but equivalent. A pound of feathers is equal to a pound of lead, but feathers and led are far from the same.


Hey, I was wondering, myself. There's nothing wrong with wanting to know, I don't think. I find your accent difficult to peg down, and if you didn't tell me I would never have known, and as someone interested in linguistics, that would drive me insane.


umm I did not only meant the natural environment, I meant our artificial environment (social, political, religious, etc). We are molded and act depending of our surroundings, If we have a unhealthy environment we become unhealthy.

I would really like you to see this: /watch?v=5zn8MRKOskw

Agree or dont agree, we all know the establishment have to change


You actually made me laugh out loud. Great job!


Normally I'm against hyphenating ethnicities (european-american, african-australian etc) but Iranian-Canadian is just fun to say!


Sorry, but I must strongly disagree with what you just said. We do not need to change our environment - the environment is PERFECT as it is. We need to change the way we perceive it and the way we interact with it. What we do now, is to try to change the environment - and we are completely fucking it up - and doing a bloody great job of it. We need to finally accept the environment, understand it and then learn to live WITH IT, NOT AGAINST IT.


Uh, Mr S. will you make another video of you hurting/shoking yourself???


True, you are describing a Resource Based Economy (ex Venus project)
To create a high form of living we just need to change our environment and everything will fall into place.


You see - if you look at our biggest problems as a human race, it is definitely the need to fuck each other over (at the moment we call it capitalism, or business) Whatever we do, we try to earn the biggest profit from all the others. In my opinion, the only way humans will ever reach a lets say "higher form of living" is when we start acting as one planetary race, not as a division of many parts. When we all start doing something for all of us, not just ourselves, then we will truly thrive.


My point in all this is not to make it some kind of an ideological war, or something. My point is not to fight with you. I just want to see people finally realizing, that just because we have slightly different physical and ideological traits like colour, height, endurance, faith or customs and such, doesn't mean we are not equal. I am not talking about being genetically same - of course we look different by the races. But who is to judge who's better? Who's "more  chosen", who's more ready?


I simply believe, that every single human being on this world has exactly the same "value" as the other. No one has the right to say "I am better than you." Not the white people, nor black, nor Jewish, nor Christian, nor wealthy, poor or educated. Before God(as some choose to name it), or before nature, before the universe, we are one race. We are the human race. We are individuals, of various "types", but we all are one human race. The sooner our society understands this, the better.


I percieve HUMANS as the relevant information, not colour, or origin. Of course we are all a bit different in some way - but that is the law of nature - if all humans were exactly the same genetically, we would die out of the first real plague. Do you realize that you'r opinion is one of the things, that keeps racism alive? Tell me one truly relevant reason, why the separation and division between human races is good. The more we divide, the more bullshit we create around ourselves.


I am amazed, that you say what you say. You say that I am irrational, because I think all humans are equal. Do you want to tell me they aren't?! Tell me, if you please, in what way are we different, before nature?! Hmm? That someone has a darker skin, more accustomed to harsh sun? Or that someone has a bit more muscle mass? Or someone is used to thinner air, so he wins all marathons? Are these real differences? Yes, these are physical differences, so fucking what?


If we are all equal, why do we look different? Why is there variance in standardized tests? You're irrational and emotional minded. An individual's race, religion or heritage is irrelevant in what regards? You're simply an emotional responder and you fail to even convey a rational point.

Under law we are "allegedly" equal in terms of RIGHTS. But even that is a big load of shit if you look at how the lawyer class handles the non-lawyers.

I am merely trying to get you to think rationally.


both ok? shake hands? be bffs? if you think that will happen, you must be new to the internet, they are on the same side, but yelling at each other for not being non racist enough, just have fun watching them build straw man arguments, and burn them to the ground in effigy, welcome to the dynamics of internet debate, where the truth doesn't matter, and no-one is allowed to have an opinion different from the person observing the comment.


this is the greatest safety video I have ever watched in my life.


Besides, when have dogs become analogous to humans, in their behaviour?


I am really amazed, how you could make me (taking the side of the "oppressed") look like one of those, that propagate racism. I despise it you moron! I despise people who are willing to take any kind of advantage over anybody else, based on ANY KIND OF INFORMATION THERE IS - INCLUDING RACE, RELIGION, POLITICAL BELIEF OR WHATEVER! ELSE THEY CAN FIND! So I beg your "superior intellect" to FINALLY GRASP, that we are on the same side-with you using the wrong words so far. Stop attacking me, please!


Now I stop and start from the beginning again. Why do you think I bully someone?! Are you crazy? Have you actually read my comments? Are you aware, that I am strongly supporting everyone, that is in any way different from the other? I want people to finally realize, that it doesn't matter from where you are, just what have you done. There is no other variable in your life - You either did others good and end up good; or you did others wrong and end up bad.


The only ones who still put meaning to racism are those who insult, and those who let them selves be insulted. This is not a one way ticket. I am trying to tell you the fu*king truth you should finally realize - We are Human - that is the only race, that matters. I have a strong request though - please stop addressing me as a "simpleton emotional thinker" - because I believe I am not one. To be blatantly clear to your lesser mind - I oppose racism!!! I hate it and I dont like people enabling it!


OK. Till now, I have tried to be explanatory, sincere and clear in my opinion, that I DO NOT PUT FUCKING TAGS ON ANYONE!!!!! INCLUDING YOU!!! I wish you would see, what you make possible. I am trying to explain to you, that what colour or race, or religion or heritage you have, is irrelevant. WE ARE ALL EQUAL!!! I am trying to explain, that I do not care about racism, because it has no meaning anymore. Sure there are idiots who take advantage, but why the fu*k care about them?!.


There wasn't any thing inappropriate. I'm laying out analogous facts for the simpleton emotional thinkers like yourself who fail to grasp the concept of statistical differences in populations. A german shepherd will never be confused for a chihuahua. An asian will never be confused for an african. You can choose to lie to yourself about what your eyes see, but I will not, nor will I let people like you bully people like me by slinging names around like "racist".


Racism is a catch phrase. People like you fail to discern reality. Unless all humans lose the capacity to see and smell they will have the physiological mechanisms to discern differences between themselves and others. Any thing else is merely attitude conditioning and it does not eliminate the physiological mechanisms that allow us to see what makes an orange different from an apple, or an african different from a caucasian.


An "earthling" is different than an "earth citizen". The latter connotes some sort of allegiance to some sort of government. And no I'm not the same as you in every way possible. I'm sick of you fucking idiots who speak this way. If we were all exactly the same we'd all be clones, got it? I'm not sure where you'll pulling this nonsense of insulting others over race as I haven't done so, nor did any one who you responded to earlier. We are not clones, we are not "equal".


Hehehehehehe, I love the little lessons after each shock :D.


That's actually a pretty cool idea. I'd love to see a world where all countries are united as one. :D

Or maybe apply for citizenship to every country? I wonder if that's even possible...


You see - racism will stay, until people will be offended by "racist" behaviour. If the whole society(or the majority at least) would finally understand, that it means nothing that someone is different and even when someone is offending someone in this way, he would just ignore it - the world would be a better place. Until you are willing to get offended - people will do it. If we show them, that it does not matter anymore - it will die out by itself.

yeah that plan didn't really work out did it


And by the way your comment about the dogs - was (when we already talk about racial issues) kind of inappropriate I would say. Human races aren't in the slightest the same thing as dog races. Besides they don't think, we do. We can choose to understand and thus forget and ignore that others are differently coloured or educated. I live and coexist with many people from very different cultural contexts - either way we are all the same, no matter where from.


Ok, clarification, as you have clearly completely misunderstood what I said. I don't care, whether you are white, black, yellow, red, American,  Israeli or whatever else. You're an earthling - same as me in every possible way. I live in a community of people who think alike and I believe there are many like me in the world. I honestly cannot understand, why someone still bothers to try to insult someone based on race or similar. It's bullshit of no use, people should finally understand that...


Thanks! You are awesome for doing this. :)


I do. You shouldn't castigate others for their personal preferences, otherwise you look like a hypocrite. Maybe humans should decide not to care about the breeds of dogs and the physiological and behavioral traits that come with the breeds by your logic?


You're responding in an emotional, brainwashed fashion.


Actually, you're overlooking the fact that races have inherent capacities that will tend to average within the race differently than between the races.

People who want to over look race tend to do so because of emotional attitude conditioning.Race is no different than breed differences between dogs.You can be simplistic and say all dogs are dogs and that's all that matters, or, if you prefer certain traits found within certain breeds, you can concern yourself with those less simplistic details.


LOL i replay the video everytime, but now seriously, that some "Assholes" ,pardon, that are asking the fella here's race, i really don't care and think that is ridiculous and that is the proof of the imbecility with his fellow humans.


What matters really, is the fact that you don't know you ARE an Earth Citizen. We all are. What we choose to call us is OUR choice, not anybody else's. Who gives a sh*t about races any more? I don't get it...


hahaha. you made on the Belgian  national television Canvas :-D


i loved it signed your tennessee hillbilly and earthling supporter


Thanks Mehdi!! Great instructive funny video.


I can't wait to show my A-level students this tomorrow in class!! Legend!!


I normally don't comment on videos. But, thank you very much for making this video. It is informative and entertaining. Thanks for the laughs.


thank you for your videos, they will be excellent at showing safety of electronics with comedy to keep the audience focused.


thanks god you didnt show us a chainsaw or a gas torch


Could you please demonstrate the "proper" way to use a megger.


Greetings from Hong Kong. Really appreciate your afford.:D


Exactly. A lot of our problems stem from being born this, that, or the other....not believing in this because that is what he thinks is right. Our ability to make decisions is our biggest strength and strongest weakness...Catch 22 at its finest.


Uh. I wasnt making anything. I was just asking because I am partially Punjabi Indian. Why do you have to think everyone is a stereotypical racist? :P


Electrostatic discharge, or ESD, is an electrical charge stored in something like a human body, and can jump to the earlobes of the people you creep up behind quietly while they're sitting reading. ESD can be quite annoying sometimes.


The very beginning of the video: He stares into your soul.


Amazing. Great idea to demonstrate the problem instead of just talking about it. Funny and informative!


Hahaha!! Why you trying to educate us when you yourself don´t seem to know enough about ESD?! =D
Thanks for the laugh!


I've never laughed so hard while learning something at the same time. Awesome post!


Did you seriously not understand that hes trolling?


i am actually an engineer with borders, dam no fly list


This makes me laugh every time. Are you Indian, Palestinian or Israeli?


This dude is piss funny, I nearly fell off my chair lolololololololollololoololololol


Seen it 10 times...Still laught at it.
(If it was me with the gun..i wouldn't...:D )


1:14 "Because now the board is charged same way as the gun and don't jump anymore...SHHHHHH [...]"


YOU ARE THE BOSS MY FRIEND!!!! Im glad that there are videos like this so everyone can see what happens in reality with a funny touch. All your videos are great :)


Congratulations Mehdi!!
I don't know if you already know it, but your videos are being commented in the EETIMES, probably the most important web site in electronic & electrical engineering news.
Just look into the "programmable logic" tab under "design" section.
I think it would be great if you could make a comment in the opened discussion!!


I have seen the movie and I said nothing like that while watching, its just that I didn't see one person claiming this is fake. It seemed strange because people are going on about it like it was real.
Also I have never seen Jersey Shore and I don't know what you mean by

  "watching "Jersey Shore" and the like, you'll do OK in life."

I am not being rude I really don't understand what you mean.


I like you.

Any tips for university students?


?

He is doing this on purpose...or are you really this dumb to not notice that this guy is a comedian?


im scared to live in a world with you as well


Oh God I can't stop laughing.,,. Awesome


I guess that what they mean by "teaching you the hard way".


OMG I am still laughing! that was hilarious. Thanks!


i lost the count on how many times i watched this video


I am still laughing. thanks! lol holy crap...too funny.


I wasn't trying to be witty. I was genuinely curious how someone could fuck up English that bad.


Holy shit,you must be really dumb.Actually,you ARE really dumb.


I absolutely love all your vids :) Keep it up!


Do you mean staged? As in this is a bit/skit?
God i would hate going to the movies with you. I can see it now. Sitting down to the "Hobbit", Gandalf start doing his tricks with his pipe smoke or a group of hobbits start juggling plates and there you are in the corner saying, "Am I the only one who can see this is fake?"
Like you have some special talent in recognizing a bit.
I suppose as long as you can make this distinction whist watching "Jersey Shore" and the like, you'll do OK in life.


If you couldn't see his humor on this subject, but instead jumped to racial profiling, YOU make this a world I am scared to live in.


woow, so much hateful & hurtful comments for such an educational yet nicely sarcastic video. :/
Anyways, keep it up!


the moment we've all been waiting for.
PUT YOUR TONGUE ON IT.


lol this was the funniest video i've watched all day


Staged... yet still hilarious.  Perfect comedic timing.  kudos!


That would mean I can't eat fish for dinner. What's it to you?


If you laughed!?.. who cares if it is...


Am I the only one who can see this is fake?


You feel REALLY bad about yourself, do you? LoL!!


AMu mehdi aali bud, yade oun dorani oftadam ke ba remote control cheragharo khamush mikardiii.., movafgah bashi hamishe


That ESD gun is like fire.  You need to respect it, and fear it.


the funniest -and most educational- video of 2013.


I know it's really not an issue with the charge produced by an ESD gun, even so I don't think I would point electrolytic caps at my face and zap them.


I have to wonder if it hurt as bad as he made it look, or if he was exaggerating haha.


Nice work Mehdi.  It gets the point across in a funny way.


Haha, I love how you keep talking with such a straight face after each shock! xD Great delivery.


Can't tell if he's getting shocked on purpose, or really that ignorant.


It's so simple, yet I laughed like a mad loon.


One of the best videos I have seen in a while. Thanks


Then you should be spelling neighbour correctly!


Ever thought about changing your name to Zap?

Please be careful.   I want to see more videos from you.  Zap!


Hilarious! I hope you turned down the voltage before zapping yourself! LOL! Great acting


And you're fucking funny, dude. Rock on!


I'm not going to trust you building a Tesla Coil.


Funny stuff!  Not ESD but this video, it makes a good point in a funny way.  lol


My left ring and pinky fingers are a bit numb just from watching this. ...ow.
This is also why I can't touch the newer metal shopping carts in winter. ESD just leaps into my fingertips and swears leap out of my mouth.


He is funny. With a perfectly straight face. No retakes. L. O. L.


What a dumbfuck...needed the laugh though...


jajajaja :D that was funny man! :D Epic!


That was funny. But I was waiting for you to pop a capacitor on that board, Mehdi! POW! (I have a few cap scars from my bench days...)


They had a large barge with a radio antenna tower on it, that they would charge up and discharge.


Mehdi is better off sayin sallam alleikum! Пиздец!


"always be careful with the instruments"


The timing of the cuts is perfect. Every single one made me laugh.


Awesome video! I like videos that show us what not to do and why!
thank you! more please ! (subscribing)


I wish all work safety courses to be shown this way.


Ah so funny, bought a tear to my eye :-D


Is ESD in lamens terms just static? Like rubbing your feet on carpet then touching a metal doorknob?


Um not sure if anyone else noticed but did he screw up that computer monitor when he threw that board down after shocking himself?


11,900 likes, 79 dislikes, must be one of the best ratio's on youtube. Great upload, thankyou for the smiles on a monday at work.


You have both me and my wife cracking up. I love the nerdy/physical comedy. Keep it up!


Brilliant video. Crying laughing right now


It's funny and educational, who cares if it's fake


I want to shake hands with this guy. Aagh! ..shock..


Суровый мужик!

Суровый мужик!


Mehdi - You are the new  Hrundi V. Bakshi.


Yeah, but if you payed attention you would've known that he uses 25kV ;-)


Seriously one of the best videos on youtube in years


Fancy charging capacitors then discharging them through yourself!!

I think he enjoyed it he did it so many times!!

Sadomasochism springs to mind!!! (didn't really 'spring' to mind as I had to google 'enjoying pain', couldn't remember the term for it!!! )


That video could be used in comapny i am working. Kids, always remeber about ESD protection!


Good one, bro. You're on MSN
I LOLed like crazy.


15kV ~ 15mm discharge in free air. This is truly more than 15mm! :o)


Now just set up the commercials on your page and get paid my friend!


omg! best educational video ever, this guy really teaches by doing "HANDS ON" work, hahaha! XD


this cant be healthy. But damn it is funny.


I just need another video teaching me how to plug in my toaster while taking a bath


It takes some serious balls to zap yourself like that.


Man etefaghan alan bishtar azash mitarsam!
Koja dars khundi va dar kudum shahr hasti?

Thank you for suffering for our pleasure and education ;)


this guy is trying to be funny, he is not making mistakes! Its called "comedy".
:)


This was funny.  I was so sure he wouldn't touch the charged board, but would have used the grounding wire. To my amusement, he didn't.


Videos like this make me proud of being an engineer.


Bet he has 20 kids and can't figure out why.


oh man, this is really funny, and educational!


A wise man once said "learn from the mistakes of others." I think I'll be doing that.. because the rest of that saying is "Because you'll never live long enough to make them all yourself."


I know. I hate all that staged comedy they have on TV and in films. It would be funny but I know it's not real, so instead I just look out of the window and hope someone falls over outside.


Definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ~ Albert Einstein


I love this!  My favorite part was just after charging the board you pick it up!


please, please, please!!! make more videos :-D


this guy is amazing xD .. now pls explain what would happen if i plugged a keyin a 220V electrical socket ? with video pls


Lol That was pretty funny, actually. :P Do make more, just don't hurt yourself too much though, be careful. Your videos could be educational on not what to do. :P


Now I am watching these vids and thinking myself - are you doing this on purpose or you are very unlucky(and kind of thoughtless ) man :-) Reveal the mystery ;-)


dont make another video, im affraid you wouldn't survive it.


Always be careful with your tools. HAHAHA!


SO FUNNY !! :D like, fav + sub ! greets from germany ^^


watch?v=rr7bPmGTQUk
Lol fake vid, u did it before.


Was this intentional? It was really funny if it was, but I feel like there is a missing second scene explaining what happens when the ESD occurs.


THANK YOU MAN.  Your suffering teaches many people!!  (and is HILARIOUS)


Like I said:  You can be thoroughly amused but not laugh.


You have the goofiest damn uncle. I envy that


I laughed hysterically at this Great video


he does it purposely to show what not to do.  it makes for very funny educational videos!


I think he intentionally did some of those to demonstrate what happens. "Do as I say, not as I do."
Even if it was intended, static HURTS LIKE $%^& so I think the reactions were genuine anyway. X3


he should have fall over from the last shock


For a guy so knowledgeable about static discharge he is a dumbass to keep forgetting about it while touching things....


:D :D :D This is my uncle!!! HES GONE VIRAL.
By the way amoo mehdi, This is Shervin! :D


I don't always find random videos on YouTube, when I do, eyebrows


I watched the entire thing with my hands over my face while screeching NO DON'T DO IT I KNWO YOU'RE GONNA DO IT NO DO--OOOOOOOH


WOW. YOU ARE, LIKE, SUCH A GREAT DETECTIVE.


Even a donkey don't do the same mistake 3 times .- old Dutch proverb


If you don't work doing safety videos for companies already, you'd be good at it.


I hope it was staged, otherwise I don't feel safe receiving advice on this from you.


I laughed so hard... reminded me of when I was a kid and helped my dad (an electronic engineer) with his work. He used to curse a lot.


Wait for it.....wwwwaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiit for it!!!!


Holy shit...this has been the funniest video i've seen this year.


hope you've monetized your YouTube videos! If you didn't, you missed out on TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars!


you really think people would do that? just go on the Internet and tell lies?


I dont think its staged.... Im pretty sure he intends for the people to know hes doing it on purpose as a joke.


Does anyone know any other humorous videos like this one? If so, please respond to this or message me. :)


I could see the final joke coming right when he started charging the board.. oh man that anticipation and payoff were the best.


This is hilarious. You played it really straight, which was just perfect.


Up next, how to escape from a sinking car when handcuffed to the steering wheel and you have lost the key in the back seat


And he also suffer a bit of pain for that! hahaha awesome man =)


Coming up next: How to use a toaster in the bathtub.


He also did the video of the guy sticking the fork in the wall outlet 37 times before saying, "maybe I shouldn't do that again"
DERP!


That was great. It is honestly what happens when a bunch of techs are not paying careful attention and you showed how easy it is to make a mistake with ESD. The best follow up video could be of the damage done from normal ESD to board traces, not even considering sensitive electronics on the board.


seriously how many people laughed their ass off when he shocked himself the first time?  I know I did.


We gotta do something about that eyebrow bud.


Reddit loves you my fellow Persian friend.


He did all that deliberately. To make DON'Ts clearer than DOs.


I love it that he left the most shocking parts in.  He could have easily edited them out!


If he does, I think he wont be able to upload it afterwards^^


I actually learnt a lot from this lulzy video.


Ah Mehdi Sadaghdar bringing peoples of the world together one ESD at a time


If you can feel the ESD, then it is high voltage (3000 + volts).


Mr Sadaghar's Home Improvement kit! Comes complete with map and listing of phone numbers of all nearest hospitals and emergency centers in your area!

Call within the next 30 minutes, and we'll include 2 (yes TWO) complete first aid kits!


Mr Sadaghar. please do it now with high voltage.


That was fun and instructive at the same time! great job =)


I like to think it wasn't because it makes the video way more entertaining.


I'm pretty sure those were done on purpose so the lessons can have a more lasting impression along with adding a bit of humor. So stop ripping on the guy please


Love the statistics on this video since reddit discoverd this guy


wow. when it rains, his face doesnt get wet


The pain of making people laugh! That was funny in a sick kind of way.


Haha...thanks for having a sense of humor about this and posting it :)


le thumbs up if reddit brought u here xD


Up next, Mehdi shows you how to use a table saw.


Congratulations, you special flower you.


This is brilliant. Hilarious man. Great vid!


thumbs up if you know when le narwhal bacons


Hi Mr Sadaghar, can you please demonstrate how to use a shot gun for us please.


I have a feeling he did this on purpose lol


Don't know about you but I'd like to see some credentials to back up that claim. :D


This is when tell me what is funny. He gets shocks. Ha. Ha. It doesn't matter if he's a dumbass or if it's scripted.


i was having a genuinely bad day but then i watched this video, thank you for brightening my day.


HAHAHA! Thank you for this video! I was havin a rough week and this made me laugh so hard!


I don't understand what is so funny about this.


everyone one who says they're 9gag army is a trolling redditer or b/tard


le 9gag army gather and attack! LE REDDIT IS HERE BEAT THEM BACK!!! LE 9GAGERS UNITE


That's.a great prank gun just charge a door.knob and see what happens


I think the le reddit army and the le 9gag army comments are conspiracies between the 2 sites to give the opposing sites a bad name. Or maybe the You-Know-What website is behind this.


looks like this video is in the hands of le reddit xDDDDD


LE 9GAG ARMY IS HERE, WEE DO NOT FORGIVE WE JUST RAEP


Yes it was. I was watching, thinking that surely he wouldn't touch the board after charging it. That's when I completely lost it.

The newest PR trick= Front page of Reddit.com


Yo Tesla did the same.. And that's how he found how to manipulate light into a magma.


GUYS, GUYS...did 9GAG bring you here...???

YEAH, me TOO...


Endless discussions about 9gag/reddit/4chan incoming.


You forgot to put on your sunglasses and scream YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAH


XD XD le Upvote if le reddit le sent le you le here! XD XD midnight narwhal bacon XD XD XD


Oh my god. I actually was going to type down something protective but WOW! My sides are breaking off from teh lulz! XD


BY WATCHING THIS I AM A SCIENTIST LIKE CARL SAGAN UPBOAT THIS IF YOU BECAME AN ASTRONOMER BY USING WEED REDDIT AT THE SAME TIME


First thing that's made me genuinely laugh for a while


That's a good thing.. that bit you just did.  I like the cut of your jib.


We're laughing at you, not with you. If we have a EE, we also think you're an idiot.


haha, that, is the best way to teach electricity safety


This is the best thing I've seen all day.


5000 likes - 2000 views, i guess those views were discharged


AUGH SH**!!
...Always be careful with your tools.


Thanks for the BEST youtube video of the year!!!!


dont you wish, your teacher ware charged like this ?


Always remember Persian guy suffered for your stupidity


Laughed until I cried, then watched it again to CRY SOME MORE.


Isn't this the same guy who found a fake company and changed their website and their voicemail greeting?


Lets see his name is Mehdi... Thats Persian for Messiah. This guy is Persian.

You're first it took me 7 years to scroll down

@@shashwatvishwakarma269 what the heck did I mean by that reply? I have no Idea

@@Barakeh I mean you're the first one to comment to this channels first video  that's amazing this is a huge channel now


Electricity is prone to take the shortest path with the least resistance, long story short you would have to consciously zap your butthole for you to feel anything there. If i could tag you i would tag you as 'Buttzapper'


watching this video makes my butthole cringe


I actually laughed pretty hard to this. Thanks.


subscribed!
someone get Mehdi a go-pro camera


That made the hairs on my unibrow stand up!


this is fucking retarded, its not even funny. why does everyone like this shit


something about elecrtricity!! :3

god i'm so good at my vocabulary ever since i started the reddit's.


I was distracted by the massive unibrow.


LMAO that was awesome! I died laughinggg


thank you good sir! you just made my night, this is going to be the video i show to every person i teach from this day fourth.


The most electrifying video in YouTube entertainment!


in all seriousness i've been working with computers for 20 years and i've never seen a board or part fail due to static


It's rare that anyone actually audibly laughs when they say "lol", "lmfao", "haha", etc.  Appreciation of humor does not have to be shown through laughing.
I once said "I'm literally laughing too hard to breath", when I only actually slightly giggled.


Nice way to teach physics. You taught me way better than my physics teacher


"always be careful with your tools" hahaha


it's an educational video. he did it on purpose to make the lesson stick to the viewer.


Do you think he actually shocked himself 4 times to make a video, or just shopped in the arc in post?


LOLOLOL!!
All that with a straight face!!!


I worked as EMC engineer for 2 years and this never happened to me!! :-p


Lmfao.   I love you, thank you for this very instructional video.


@1:15 I was "Don't touch the board, don't touch the damn board".


How are you guys finding this THAT funny? are you all brain dead or something?


everyone came from reddit so shut up about it :I


Wow... funny.. holy crap.. first awsome video of 2012.


You did that with really straight face - well done mate!


I'm crying right now and I'm commenting through my laughter and tears


I'm pretty sure "Le reddit army" hates you.


Scripted but yet you pull it off well, really convincing. Hilarious none the less. Also there is no shame in plucking your unibrow mate.


You know what is going to happen? If you were a gladiator you'd be doomed....


i love it "an ESD simulator, or a 'gun'"


this just kept me from killing myself. one more day


I find it hilarious when the scene cuts and he has a straight face and he tells you not to do what he just did hahhahaha


0:34   0:49 1:19   some of the frames are rock solid facial expression HILARIOUSNESSITYNESS


for some reason i was brought to tears watching this and spit beer on my keyboard..... totally worth it


You're probably wondering how I found this video, eyebrows it on Google.


hahahahahaha omg i had no idea what he was talking aboyt but damn


Wtf, that made my night. I almost woke up the house laughing.


Thank you I found this very helpful and informative, I was just about to te-FFFUCK


The Internets brought me here, I laughed!


2kV - 10kV with an average of 7500V.

The reason he could hold on so long is because of poor grounding.


You are comparing something that runs at 120v or 240v to a device that uses 25,000v


how does this have so few views?!

absolutely awesome video XD


That's because there aren't 25 thousand volts in an electric fence.


thank you so much for my first hearty laugh of 2013!  That was awesome!


I don't ever post on Youtube but this shit made me laugh way harder than it should have, and I have a feeling you're gonna get a lot of comments like this really quick.


Ok... So how do you discharge a board then?


ALWAYS DISCHARGE A CHARGE... that's what she said


How did you pass middle school with that grammar?


I don't normally normally go on youtube bet when i do, eyebrows!

How does it feel to be the fifth comment ever?


wasnt expecting a vid about esd to be so funny XD

How does it feel to be the fourth comment ever?


Absolutely amazing video, insane how many people are ignorant to basic electron theory and consider them selves computer technicians.

How does it feel to be the third comment ever?

@@SreenikethanI still dont have the answer :3


How does it feel to be the second comment ever?
