This is a helpful discussion of comma splices. However, at 09:42, the sample sentences are inaccurately defined as run-on sentences. They are not; each of those two sentences includes a coordinating conjunction that joins two independent clauses, and the error is simply that the expected comma before the conjunction is missing. A run-on sentence, instead, occurs when two complete sentences are joined with no punctuation. (If two independent clauses, such as those in this video's examples, are joined with a conjunction, the clauses comprise a single sentence and therefore do not create a run-on.) In other words, a run-on can be thought of as a comma splice that is missing the comma.
