6 of the 7 "replications" mentioned in that Wikipedia section are literally TV shows and performance artists.

...Which is a good metaphor for the "experiment" as a whole.

Actually, all of them are bs. There’s no records of the experiment in Australia. I would guess it’s just a hoax by the author of “behind the shock machine” if not, it still certainly doesn’t count as a replication.
