No mention about how this is literally Sam's first video in over 2 years?

“The gorillist gorilla that ever goriled” Is peak comedy

Fun fact: White Perch are bass and Largemouth Bass are perch

I will never forgive this video for skipping the Sam O' Nella feet song

Ok, while I know the actual translation of the Latin names are stupid and they are tough to pronounce half of the time (at least for me) it is really important to use the Latin when you are talking to other people on the internet about foraging for culinary mushrooms, otherwise someone could die. Also, it helps when people on a bug identification forum are having Facebook fist fights about what a daddy long legs is.

The mnemonic we learned in my marine zoology class was "Doctor Kevin Phillips Cut Off Frank's Genital Section". Our professor was a bit deranged in the best possible way LMAOO.

AVNJ reacting Sam O Nella Never thought it was possible but I love it

He skipped the feet beat and the hitler bug, both funny parts

Frank Zappa has both a Jellyfish and an entire genus of mudskippers named after him.

Previously, we had Heteropoda davidbowie, which is native to me, but a whole genus of wandering spiders got split off and the whole genus is called Bowie now. We have: B. ziggystardust, B. majortom, B. letsdance, B. magicdance, B. blackstar. I fucking love it. Dr Peter Jäger named like 55 new species after Bowie, dude is a real fan.

The mnemonic that I think you are thinking of is. "Do kangaroos prefer cake or frosting, generally speaking"

It's not taxonomy, but there's a scientist that discovered some receptor or something involved in the brain's sending of electrical signals and named it Pikachurin Then there's a gene related to the expression or non-expression of old dormant genes (like snakes not having old remaining leg related genes expressed) that for whatever reason is named the Sonic the Hedgehog gene. Not even just the Sonic gene. The whole thing, Sonic the Hedgehog gene. No clue why. Seems incredibly random. Pikachurin at least makes sense because electricity and all, but this one just feels like the scientist wanted to name SOMETHING after the Sonic franchise and just couldn't come up with anything so just put the character's whole name on some random gene.

I just like watching people enjoy Sam o nella. I’m glad you liked his video!

You said it: taxonomists get little to no gratitude for their work. So they totally deserve the privilege to name animals dumb stuff. So next time you see Spongiforma Squarepantsii, remember it isn't as stupid as neglecting taxonomists.

Damn, my man blueballed us with the musical number

Some of my favorites include the entire beetle genus Agra (Agra vation, Agra cadabra, Agra phobia, etc.), the wasp called Aha ha, the fungus Spongiforma squarepantsii, Heteropoda davidbowie (a spider species), Phloeodes diabolicus (the diabolical ironclad beetle), and the trilobite with the name Han solo. There’s a genus of ferns named after Lady Gaga (Gaga) because the taxonomist thought they were reminiscent of her. There’s also a group of trilobites named after each of the Sex Pistols, as well as Yoda purpurata (a deep ocean acorn worm that looks kinda like a purple Yoda, hence the name that literally means “purple Yoda”)

I'm a paleontology guy, so we usually just use clades. I did take a mammalogy class once and they still used the Kingdom system in the class, but I just found it confusing going to the older system.

I'm in an AVNJ video (a little bit of my palm holding the Jimmy Carter darter)

A fun bird name would be the avnj jay bird. Good luck getting the presidential fish!

I think one of my favourite celebrity named animals is this tree snail native to Australia (where I'm from hehe) that is literally named _Crikey steveirwini_ and I just love that so much ❤️

Unexpected, but very welcome.

Sam O’ Nella YESSSS

This was almost the most perfect video on this site if so much of it wasn’t cut out. Looks like I’m going to have to go fishing for the stream. :l

Can you imagine if taxonomists started getting corporate sponsors?

This is something I never knew I needed.. I love the fact you covered Sam

One of my favorite mnemomics for Taxonomy is Dumb Kids Play Catch Over Father's Grave Stone. Got a great kick out of saying that out loud during a quiet college test!

Good old Salmonella

I don't even want anything named after me, but every single time I see someone say they want something named after them I'm very invested on them getting that wish, no idea why, I guess I just think it's wholesome

Dog breeds in the wild is the thoughts of a small child

Lmao going on safari and seeing a pack of wild pugs would be absolutely hilarious.

"Do Kings Play Chess On Fine Grain Sand?" is what my anatomy professor uses

I remember the mnemonic device from the show Community "I use a mnemonic device 'Kevin, Please Come Over For Gay Sex.'" "Why not use 'Karen'?" "Because it's *gay* sex, dummy." "So use 'great.'" "Great, now I can't remember anything."

"Name a seahorse after him." Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it! DO IT!

This is the crossover I didn't expected but definitely needed it

missing the opportunity to call a bird the Avian Jay

Wyile sure a lot of this vid cut of it really doesnt make me mad at all, it makes ppl wanna see the original video which then helps sam, nice

This is my one of my favorite videos on your channel

Shoutout to my favorite binomial name: Megaceryle Alcyon, aka the Belted Kingfisher. Ceryle is an entirely different genus of kingfisher and alcyon just means kingfisher, so it's name is "Big Big Different-Kingfisher"

i know i'm a bit late to the party, but my favourite example of why taxonomists are weird is a fish; a species of seabream called "Boops Boops"

Avnj, if you ever discover some sort of crab species, you should do humanity a favor and classify it as crabzilla.

I'm fascinated by taxonomy in pokemon. it manages to parallel irl taxonomy by having shitty names that mean shit like Spotted Spotted Panther. we got Key Key (Klefki), Turtle Turtle (Tirtouga) and Dark Dark (Darkrai). theres also shit like "well it purrs and its ugly, so we'll call it Purugly!" or "it roars and it incinerates its foes, so its Incineroar" I fucking love it

Lmao just look at all the things between order and family in primate taxonomy... infraorders, parvorders, etc

This is the KZfaq equivalent of the teacher putting on Bill Nye

i'm so confused with all the abrupt editings- if i didnt know how the video played with out your exsistence i'd call this normal but dear grimminy

Are you sure you are not your own distinct species? Have you had kids yet? Schroedingers taxonomy

Very cool exited to watch

Presidential fish field trip, make that a series!

Kangaroos Play Cellos, Orangutans Fiddle, Gorillas Sing

I want to have a spider named after me more than anything in the world

2:52 so you’re telling me that there were wild pugs in savanna in your grandmother's world. that’s marvellous, i want to live in that world too. well, not really, because pugs probably won’t feel okay in savanna, but the mental image of feral pugs in africa is amazing

This started out well, then went into the territory of oddly unnecessary cuts.

The genus Predatoroonops has got to be the coolest one ever. It's a group of goblin spiders named after characters from the movie Predator including such greats as schwarzeneggeri, dutch and maceliot.

yea sam o nella he the king of youtube

Him: don’t know if any of y’all know who Sam’o’nella is- Us: HOW DARE YOU ASSUME WE DONT KNOW OF OUR OWN GOD.

I literally plan to be a fish taxonomist, I’ll name something after you lmao

A dude found a bacteriophage and named it Minos phrime.

Avnjs next video "finding Obama in tenasse"

I am now looking forward to seeing the president darters being caught.

Yoooo presidential darter search

In the near futur everyone wonders why so many things are named the same.

“I don’t know if any of you guys know this person”

There’s also a species of pleco named after Greedo from Star Wars Peckoltia Greedoi if anyone is curious

i rally want to see avnj catch presidential fish

You really just took out of the video the BEST part? The feet song

3:54 I actually the other day did some digging because I had heard of tribe but didn’t know where it belonged. I also knew about the super-, sub-, and infra- prefixes, but I wasn’t expecting this much or to see it come up in a video I watched two days later.

he's the angry video name jerd

There's even a protein called sonic hedgehog so even fictive characters get stuff named after them

HE SKIPED THE SONG NOOOOOO!

King Philip can order family game suspension

The best for alliteration in taxonomic names IMO is Ursus arctos arctos (ie the Brown bear). It comes out as Bear (latin) Bear (greek) Bear (greek).

I think the pneumatic I learned in school was King Philip came over for good spaghetti

Eyy he finally found the fish jenga man

the fact that you skipped the foot song in the video is criminal

AVNJ Adventures: Catching Obama

Gotta collect all the president Fish, like pokemon!

my favorite scientific animal name is the tokay gecko, with the name gekko gekko. just in case you couldn't tell it's a gecko.

Best crossover ever! Sam O'Nella is amazing!

Kangaroos punch children on family game shows

Philadelphia

This is the biggest crossover since endgame

My dream is to discover a new species through my travels. I'll name the first one off my dog, the second I'll hook you up bro

Just in this video there were like 4 people saying that they would name animais after AVNJ, Obama has 9 animals named after him, if every person in this video keep their promisse AVNJ will be almost half an Obama. Let that sink in. (Sorry for bad english, it's not my first language)

Gorilla gorilla gorilla, the gorilla-ist gorilla that ever gorilla'd

glad you reacted to this i love sam o'nella!

An alternative title would be"I beg to be named after something"

avnj, im gonna become a ichtyologist and i will remember this

in portuguese the mnemonic we used in high school is directly translated as "ugly boys with ugly eyes create pimples" (rapazes feios com olhos feios geram espinhas) without the domain

As a person who lives in Nashville, I've seen the Obama-thing, and today, I finally found out what they're called

The pnuemonic Device I learned was from The comment section of Sam's video: Don't Kill People Cuz Of Fat Gay Spiders.

I rlly hope bros parents didn't decide to actually name him salmonella

There's a third presidential darter! The highland darter, Etheostoma teddyroosevelt, in Missouri and Arkansas!

Family: Giraffidae Genus: Giraffa Species: camelopardalis Huh?

I learned dumb king Philips came over for go soup

Kings play chess on fine grain sand , YUP

The crossover I never knew we needed

It happens heaps with birds, the naming of the scientist, for example, poicephlus meyeri aka meyers parrot. The scientists last name was meyers.

I like how the country of East Timor translates to East East.

The video i didnt know i wanted

FUCK YEAH SAM AND FISH MAN CROSSOVER!!!!

Sam is amazing, love the man
