I stumbled acros this gem when watching some org chem videos 
It still reminds me, that even when you read some theory from chem textbooks, you should stay humble. And not assume it will all turn great only because you have a degree.
I found it very common that organic chemists somehow tend to look down on inorganic chemistry, calling it trivial and simple. And there you go - mostly organic chemist (judging by his content) try to accomplish that trivial inorganic synthesis, losing half of the product in very laughable and simultaneously dangerous way
I laughed well when he started to load that AgCl into the crucible, knowing well what would happen next That smoke from AgCl was that thick, despite fumehood running, that it was clearly visible on the camera. And when he dumped that crucible straight to the floor... Man
