Kind of, but they are misunderstanding the saying. It refers to the fact that if the available supply of current (maybe it should say power?) is sufficiently limited, it is possible for a person’s body to conduct hundreds of thousands to millions of volts without pain or injury.

That said, high voltage behaves different and there are a lot of factors that make it unsafe.

Baccano! is one I’ll add to the list, though I enjoyed most of the others mentioned.
