Celebrity Day Job Electrocution. [Rate Link] - Are celebs so desperate for attention as to sign up for torture just to get some airtime?

Interesting...Usually they don't pick the things up though. They point at them with little metal wands.

What ever happened to Richard Hammond anyway (apart from the obvious)

that was funny i miss that show. they should make it like that everytime

Haven't seen that before.. haha nice.

Going on TV just to be electrofied, how pathetic can you be.

I don't watch it anymore without Richard Hammond but I might have to tune in to see Rik Waller electrocuted.
They always pick up antiques over here btw, maybe the wand business is an american thing.

I got 3 240V shocks for too many time! Screw those guys. That must have caused some weird felling and the guy was just accelerating his pace in order to end the job! That's cruel dudes! Cruel I say!

Vik Reeves presents it now I believe.

Did you see the look in the guys eyes at 1:09. He seemed intent on torturing.

Wow, there goes my perception that English television is more "high class" than American.

Did you consider that they went on "for fun" and not "just to be on TV"?

If I was famous and someone asked me on to one of those shows I'd probably say yes. It's a laugh.

ROFL AWESOME COULDNT STOP LAUGHING

i loved it when he got electrocuted with teh big white statue in his hand looked like he actually wanted to destroy it

quixoto, it's British television not English television. >_>

hahha! oh god i want to see the rick waller one!!

Just so you know: no one was electrocuted; the subject was shocked.

electrocute (verb)
1. to kill by electricity.
2. to execute (a criminal) by electricity, as in an electric chair.

electrical shock (noun) - a reflex response to the passage of electric current through the body.

Chuck Norris Fact: 100 death-row inmates were asked which way they would prefer to be executed; lethal injection, gas, electrocution, or roundhouse kick by Chuck Norris. 98 out of 100 said it would be an honor to die at the foot of Chuck Norris. The other two didn't know who Chuck Norris was, and they immediately received the roundhouse kick of death. 26 of the remaining 98 died as a result of the fight to get next in line.

To answer the question: yes.

Cool.. I wanna see more..

They really should mix this concept with the entire next season of American Idol.

I think mythbusters is better that Brainiac!

the show is appalling, but it suits the morons who watch it

Mythbusters = At least a bit scientific
Brainiac = People messing around whilst pretending to do science

I love both- you can't really compare the two. But I don't watch the new series because the hamster left... What's not to like? Caravans being destroyed and brainiacs being tortured- my idea of a good time.

"Going on TV just to be electrified, how pathetic can you be."
^^^ I concur.

I think its all rubbish and a dumb way to spend time. Why don't they spend that time doing something better than that? There is so much a celeb. could do with all the $$ they have, LIKE help the poor (mainly me, lol j/k ) or house the homeless, feed the hungry. Before all you peeps slam my a** like a cheap whore, this is just MY opinion and yes I know opinions are like a**holes...blah blah blah.....

Couldn't be bothered watching this, but i saw it on telly when they wired that fat basta*d RikWaller up to this. This kn*b can't sing at the best of times and was awful. Apparently when they finished filming, the smell of frying bacon was unbelievable.

i was laughing so hard my face started to hurt. by the way, you can't shave whilst being electiricuted becuase your muscles contract and you cut yourself.
