The video demonstrates that the complete graph K5 and the complete bipartite graph K3,3 are non-planar. It uses edge bounds to prove the non-planarity of K5 and introduces a lemma for planar graphs without triangles to prove the non-planarity of K3,3. The video concludes by hinting at Kuratowski's theorem, which identifies forbidden subgraphs for planar graphs.
