Don Herbert shared his love for science with millions of kids in his 40 year stint as the experiment-loving, knowledge-wielding Mister Wizard.

Children of the 1980s and 90s probably remember learning a lesson from Herbert on the popular Nickelodeon show “Mr. Wizard’s World.” Three days a week, Mister Wizard made complex science concepts more digestible with the help of a young assistant. Turns out his delivery may have left a few of those scientist wannabes with a case of stress-induced indigestion.

YouTube user tryfail stitched together snippets from classic Mister Wizard moments that make Herbert look like the lab’s biggest Scrooge.
