    DEAR GOD! Is the man being paid HUGE sums of money or is he just plain dumb?

  2. R Cross

    I believe this is the first time I’ve seen his eye with a pupil,his teeth too.

  3. Calthin

    Zealous, this comic is basically fantasy version of the Darwin Awards.

  4. Jetman123

    People actually TEST 9-volt batteries like that? Like, just to see if they work? I only do it because the jolt makes my tongue go pleasurably numb. Pizza is _so_ much better.

    *enjoys the thought of everybody staring at this comment*

  5. Yeti XXL

    Sure you can test it - only once…

  6. Psychosis

    Natural Selection.

  7. Kitteh

    been there, done that

  8. Rogue Psyker

    “Hmmm, extremely high voltage… I wonder what that tastes like?”

  9. Kardas

    It tastes like pain and death!

  10. vivisquallcloud

    electricity delicious?
    thats what Kaolla Su from Love Hina anime would say…

  11. colin

    tried it with a handcrank generator light socket (young and stupid, obviously) couldn’t taste for a week

  12. Chuck

    I laughed so hard at Rogue Psyker’s comment, oh god!

  13. chum

    oh noes! now he has to start over with growing eyebrows and a moustache again! 0__0 hehe i’m glad i’ve never been shocked that badly.

  14. Ela

    I find this hilarious, it’s the best one coming from the beginning.

  15. Kentan

    Rogue Psyker- xD

  16. Malachite Dragon

    I think he’s being paid quite large sums of money to BE stupid…why else could he afford to make all that he does (see later comics)?

  17. zantarath

    That sounds very painful. Like the time I stuck a paper clip in between the prongs on a car battery. My hand would twitch randomly for a week, and I still can’t write straight.

  18. Female Fox Furry

    GASP! HE ACTUALLY HAS EYES?!

  19. Break Man

    Also he’s a cartoon.

  20. the red rule

    i once accidnetly chewed trough a head phone cable, know i know electrcity tastes good, if your togue muscle contarcts it goes back, and where all teh nerves in my teeth are

  21. Mint Sharpie

    Ah, but fire tastes like bacon!!!
    (reference to an obscure sprite comic, don’t go thinking I’m crazy or anything… o.o; )

  22. DemonRex

    Ansem Retort. And you are worng, fire merely tastes of AGONY.

  23. anteaters stole my sanity

    I have been electrocuted four times by virtue of being stupid enough to touch the metal part of the plug on a lamp while it was halfway in the outlet. Half of the times I did it on purpose cause it made me feel all tingly.

  24. Game Boy. Advanced?

    I once tried to get a lightbulb to light up by touching it to the exposed ends of a cut plug. I was having trouble because one of the ends was still wrapped in the plastic, so I decided to chew the plastic off. I completely forgot to unplug the thing from the extension cord I was using to get the electricity to the lightbulb.

    Maybe that’s what’s wrong with me?

  25. Darkpheonix XIII

    yes. yes it is.

  26. TomCC

    Car battery? dunno, but 12V seems a little too weak to actually do anything to your hand… It can however burn the paperclip, lead-acid batteries have crazy current output if shorted. Then again, i do know this guy who says he gets jolted from a car battery… Maybe too much salt in the body.

  27. Radical Edward

    Ouch! Can’t believe he did that!

  28. Macabelle

    When I was younger, I liked the taste of metal. One day I put one end of a cell phone charger in my mouth, not realizing that my dad had forgot to unplug it.

    Me: eeeeeeEEEEEEEEAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!

  29. ThePhill

    I gots horses. I play with the 300-acre electric fence generator that we stuck on our 10 acre pasture all the time. I melted my tongue to it once and shorted it out.
    Thankfully I was rather close to the box. My tongue is still kinda forked. Wounds opening and cauderizing instaneously does not taste good.

  30. thejubster

    Break Man

    WAIT!?????? Biff’s a cartoon???? Not an incredibly rubber, immortal, and insane man whose biography is written in The Book of Biff.

  31. REwhite

    TomCC: it’s not the voltage that kills you, it’s the amperage.

  32. rockerofsocks

    his eyes…..they are open!
    tis a holy miracle!

  33. Marlow

    Wow, I’ve done that. Trying to rework the wiring of the TV and peripherals and didn’t have an extra hand for a 5v adapter. I saw blue for a while.

  34. Colin

    i plan on never doing that having touch mains voltages pretty much everyday for the last few years i’d much rather keep it away from my mouth.

  35. Pom Rania

    Our dog once bit an electrical wire. It took a piece out of his tongue, poor puppy.

  36. Deteramot

    Strangely enough, we have a dog who chews on wires. But she has never been damaged by them… even when they were plugged in.
