- TriviaThe psychological experiment they show in this episode is very similar to the Milgram experiment, performed by Stanley Milgram from Yale University in 1961. The result mentioned in the episode, 66% of the people would deliver the maximum voltage, is the actual result from the original experiment. This experiment would be considered unethical in the 21st century based on the psychological harm it causes to the subject instigating the shocks.
