AlphaPheonix has a few amazing electricity videos including this one where he actually does the experiment.

Veritasium's video was so bad, like 15 channels made response videos within a week. Just search for, "is veritasium wrong about electricity". It's not that he was completely wrong, he was just doing lots of hand waving and making electricity sound like voodoo.

Thanks, this was a good watch!
