Stand up comedian Charlie Berens and Build It Dad, two creative content creators on YouTube known for their DIY projects and shenanigans, joined forces to build a real-life, electrifying version of the classic board game Operation. Their over-the-top version takes the concept to a shocking new level—literally.
This life-sized game uses a TENS unit to deliver an electric shock whenever players accidentally touch the edges of the “patient’s” body cavity with metal tongs. Just like the classic game, if you hit the wall, the iconic buzz sounds, the “patient’s” nose lights up, and you get a quick zap. The goal, as always, is to extract various “body parts” from the “patient” without messing up, but the stakes are much higher when you’re actually getting shocked for your mistakes.

The duo constructed the game using clever engineering and attention to detail. Build It Dad brought his fabrication expertise, crafting a sturdy and realistic game board, while Dude Dad infused his signature humor and energy into the process. Together, they made the game interactive, hilarious, and a bit nerve-wracking.
The collaboration showcases their shared knack for turning childhood nostalgia into immersive and wild experiences. Both creators are known for pushing the boundaries of DIY projects—Dude Dad with his comedic family-oriented builds and Build It Dad with his hands-on, maker-style approach. Their real-life Operation game has captured the attention of fans across their channels and social media platforms, bringing a shocking twist to the beloved classic.
