Fun fact!: Ireland still has yet to recover from the potato famine. Before the famine, Ireland’s population was approximately 8 million and even today Ireland has a population of 5 million.

The reason the potato was so widespread in Ireland wasn’t so much as we had shit soil (it’s actually really fertile so that’s nice), it was more that they were the most calorie dense, nutritious thing that we could grow a lot of easily. They grew in really dense clusters and didn’t need a lot of land for a good yield, so every tiny cottage could have a little patch and that would be enough to feed the whole family. Plus the English exported everything else so thanks guys that really helped.

As a Plant Pathologist I can't believe someone actually cares about us

"don't eat strange bread, you could trip balls and die" That's such a beautiful sentence, I love it so much

There’s a few broomrape flower things I see on my walk to school. I picked one out of the grass and was like “that’s a parasitic plant called broomrape” and my mom was like “okay nerd.”

*MY HEARTS A SEIZING, MY LUNGS ARE WHEEZING. THE FUCKING WALLS ARE MELTING.*

“Hey kids” *casually talks about the worst diseases known to man*

“Dont eat strange bread, you’ll trip balls and die.” Best fucking quote ever.

Anyway, moving on, this next one is called - get ready - broomrape. I'm serious. Broomrape. Broomrape. Wikipedia? Broomrape. *Naked* broomrape.

Listen, losing all those chestnut trees was crazy and it’s wild that no one noticed but also, it’s literally happening to the ash trees in North America right under our noses and not a lot of people are talking about it. I’m not that surprised that no one mentions the volume of tree we lost when we lost the chestnuts.

So you telling me that I've been wasting money buying LSD, when I could've just been eating bad rye bread.

The American chestnut is actually slowly returning. They have crossed it with the Chinese chestnut which is immune to the blight

2:22 no one acknowledges how funny this is

0:53 I'd just like to clear this up, our soil was and is actually some of the best in the world, we grew so many potatoes BC there was a land shortage on account of England stealing our country and using most of the land for beef(which the mostly dirt poor Irish people couldn't afford) and cash crops, potatoes just gave a lot of high calorie food for very little comparative space and effort to grow

Potato blight is a funny way to spell the British.

1:17 makes me glad Sam intentionally puts little effort into drawing his character’s

“HOLY SHIT IM BLASTING OUTA BOTH ENDS, MA LUNGS A WHEEZIN, MA HEARTZ A SEIZIN, AND THE FUCKIN WALLS ARE MELTING. I CAN HEAR SATANS VOICE...HES TELLING TO INVEST IN APPLES...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. WHY DOES HE WANT ME TO BUY APPLES” -HOLY SHIT guy

There's something oddly unnerving about a flowering plant that has no leaves or greenery of any kind. Thanks, broomrape.

Fun fact: LSD was synthesized from ergot in an effort to find something closer to like penicillin

“Holy shit Im blasting out of both ends!” -Sam O nella

I've heard it theorized that as rye was a common crop in Salem Massachusetts, and the harvest had molded, they were all trippin balls when they were having a little problem with witches. 😳✌️

MY HEARTS A SEIZING, MY LUNGS ARE WHEEZING, THE FUCKING WALLS ARE MELTING! I CAN HEAR SATAN'S VOICE! HE'S TELLING ME TO... INVEST IN APPLE? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WHY DOES HE WANT ME TO BUY APPLES?

I came to the US from Europe and it took me a couple of years to realize there are no chestnuts sold anywhere in winter. That was really bad news for me, because I grew up near a chestnut forest and I loved them as a kid. I was devastated to find out about the blight and I stock up like crazy whenever I can find some store that sells imported chestnuts. Raise awareness guys, bring back the chestnuts!!

I'm from West Virginia THE STATE, and our elders have many stories of how amazing chestnut wood was for homes. Not to mention it was almost smokeless to burn.

Gunshots: I sleep Screams: I sleep Explosions: I sleep Sam O'Nella Academy uploads: real shit

Key word... *O N C E*

This one has such bangers man "hey kids, remember the plague?" "keyword: ONCE", "broomrape", "moral of the story don't eat strange bread you could trip balls and die"

Sam: "Remember the PLAGUE??" Me: looks around "I scarcely remember the time when we DIDN'T have a plague"

Fun fact! The reason Sam hasn't uploaded in 10 months is because he caught Urethra Cactus.

His animations are so static yet, so full of motion at the same time.

I laughed at the imagination of a medieval peasant suddenly getting hit by lsd by just mentioning it

I live in that region of the us with the chestnuts. Some of their stumps are still around and they occasionally sprout and then just wither away

"They have the potential to suck an entire farm dry." Now I know why it's called broomrape.

I had a friend with urethra cactus. Things were never the same after he was diagnosed. I remember his last words to this day. "Jesus fuck, it hurts so much, just pull the fucking plug already!"

Just stopping by while making my annual samonella binge

Sam O'Nella content is so good I legit watched every single video he posted years ago. Now that I half forgot most of them I'm rewatching them as they pop up in my youtube feed, almost as good as the first time lmao

man, i can't wait for next year's video

Sam saying once is my sleep paralysis demon.

Loved the poem, thank You

I'm very happy you went out of your way to calculate the amount of joules burning those trees would produce

Ah yes i too remember the story of Eve investing in Apple and getting banned from Gods private Minecraft server.

Satan being a real G telling the wrong person to invest in apple, but still trying to help.

1:17 me trying to draw realistically for once

*HOLY SHIT, I’M BLASTING OUT OF BOTH ENDS! MY HEARTS A’SEIZEN! MY LUNGS A’WHEEZIN! I CAN HEAR SATAN’S VOICE! HE’S TELLING ME TO... INVEST IN APPLE!! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! WHY DOES HE WANT ME TO BUY APPLES?!*

IMPORTANT CORRECTION: potato blight is technically an oomycete, not a fungus. Oomycetes are single-celled organisms that behave similarly to fungi, kinda like how algae aren't true plants.. Dunno how I made this oversight, my bad! edit: also, Irish reliance on potatoes had less to do with the soil and more to do with the British screwing them out of their other food items. Although the hardiness of the potato was also a factor to its general proliferation. I really need to start triple-checking this shit, honestly

This episode has some of the most iconic scenes

Remember the British passed laws forcing the Irish to export all grains, that’s why they relied on potatoes

0:45 That's Mr Schmidt trying to eat a blighty potato.... Guess he really did gave a Schmidt

"Why is it telling me to invest in apple" lmao

1:16 the face of beauty

i dont understand where sam comes up with some of his jokes but they’re right up my alley

The majesty and power that Sam delivers his "Once." line with...

Nobody: Sam O'Nella: *Urethra Cactus*

This has to be my favorite episode because of 3:48 alone.

urethra cactus still has me wheezing to this day

So, the potato blight was an issue, but it wouldn't have been nearly as devastating if the British landlords weren't charging 90% of the farmer's supply. There's a reason the Irish don't actually call it a famine, because a famine requires a lack of food. There was plenty of food, it just wasn't getting eaten by the Irish.

pronouncing the word Celtic like “selltic” singlehandedly killed me just like all the Irish people that starved

a medieval peasant could eat strange bread and get high that's hilarious

lmao when he said MY HEARTS A SEIZING MY LUNGS ARE WHEEZING THE FUCKING WALLS ARE MELTING i fuckin died

This episode is comedy gold, in terms of Sam O'Nella videos.

Me: *laying in bed after a tiresome day, wanting to get some sleep* My neighbors: 3:49

"HOLY S••T I'M BLASTING OUT OF BOTH ENDS!!! MY HEART'S A SEIZIN', MY LUNGS A WHEEZIN', THE F•••ING WALLS ARE MELTING!!! I can hear satan's voice, he's telling me to - invest in Apple! What does that mean!? Why does he want me to buy apples!?" - Random Drugged Peasant (2017)

the scene where he’s like “my lungs a wheezing, my hearts a seezing” it’s my favourite scene in all his videos

its 2022, and "the disheveled pauper I am" line still makes me laugh hysterically

You forgot to mention the broomrape’s cousins: mopassaultwithadeadlyweapon and also vacuumcartheft

Villager:"Why does he want me to buy apples?" The Devil: "Stonks"

4 years later and the betsy devos joke is still valid af

Ahh yes, I have been going to the sam o’nella academy for years, and i now have a masters degree in random knowledge and dry humour

That closeup during the chestnut blight segment was as hysterical as it was terrifying.

*B R O O M R A P E* EQUALS *G O O D S U C C*

3:55 missed opportunity to say "the walls are bleedin'" to complete the assonance.

Him ROASTING BETSY DEVOS HAHAHHAH! Sam O Nella roasting the right always cracks me up.

*Water Blight, Wind Blight, Fire Blight, Earth Blight,* *_And Potato Blight_*

Me during test: Mrs teacher lady, can I use the bathroom? Teacher: Yes you may but only 1:16

Fun fact, when a person is near death they release powerful hallucinegens. Everyone trips balls and dies eventually.

Sam's videos are the best for the new KZfaq. Whether you're in 240p or 2160p, it all looks the same!

It's remarkable how much Ireland appears in his videos Our country has gone through some shit
