Totally Safe Science With Beaker, Friday, June 10, 2022
Do you know what needed to be electrified? A sledgehammer!
Well, if you were Beaker, you thought it needed to be electrified. He stood proudly behind the machine--large, shiny, with too many buttons--and gave a long, meeping explanation about why the sledgehammer needed electricity to be a more effective tool. (Basic summary: because everything was better with electricity!)
He held up a huge nail that had been pounded once into a block of wood in order to stabilize it, and then crossed around the machine to push the button to turn it on.
Did you guess that the sledgehammer would do nothing to the nail but pound Beaker's head into his labcoat? You did? Congratulations, you've fully embraced Muppet Physics!
Now, um, watch out because the sledgehammer is on a huge extension cord and is now zooming around the floor of the lab searching for other things to whack.

Or any sort of spine.
He was reasonably certain Beaker was some kind of squid-like invertebrate.
