* gets to hot dog part* *chews hot dog slightly slower *

“Even Americans can’t stomach” *shows gelatin*

1:54 I had no idea that was supposed to be a surgical mask. I thought the dude was just way too enthusiastic about punching a hole into a cow's skull.

My biology teacher worked at a slaughter house for 6 years. She would regale us with horror stories of the worst days she spent there. Pretty interesting.

“Hey kids” *Casually talks about killing cows*

This is a stunner , here is a demonstration : *HEADSHOT*

So, my second favourite horror fiction podcast, The Magnus Archives, delves into and categorizes different aspects of human fear. It covers everything from maggots to existential loneliness to insanity. One of the aspects of horror it explores in detail is that of meat, flesh, and slaughter. One episode looks into the life of a slaughterhouse worker and the affects it can have on the psyche. That's how I first learned about meat production practices. Here's a couple excerpts. "Weirdest thing is, after awhile you start to kind of see people as meat too. Not in a food sort of way, you know. I don’t wanna eat my co-workers. It’s just that, when you spend all day taking these living, breathing creatures - animals that move and cry and tremble in fear - and you turn them into lifeless blocks of dead flesh, it’s hard to believe in any special spark that makes us humans any different. We run and shout and file on through our lives as simply as any cow, and after a while you can’t help but realise that we could turn into a lifeless carcass just as easily. Easier, even, given how much smaller we are. I mean, I’m not some weird killer or anything, but after a while it’s hard not to see everyone as moving meat" "It all started on the killing floor. I was in charge of the bolt gun. Technically, the animals we slaughter are killed by bleeding them out, something about the meat quality, I think, but it’s the bolt gun that means they don’t notice. They call it “stunning”, but that’s never sat quite right with me. You drive a bolt right into the animal’s brain, destroying just the right part of it so that they can be bled without resistance, and apparently without pain. I’ve only ever done the stunning; I’ve never been on the bleed crew, so I guess in some ways you could say I’ve never actually killed any of the animals. And sure, maybe they might still have a bit of movement in them after the bolt, and maybe their heart still beats, but for all they talk about “stunning” or “irreversible brain damage”, pulling that trigger sure felt like killing to me" There's no point to this, I just thought it was an interesting addition, The Magnus Archives is a very thought provoking fiction podcast if you like experimental narrative horror, and uhhh I just think it's interesting to think about

"beauty is only skin-deep, but manure runs to the core" is not the sort of wisdom i expected to hear from a video about brutally mutilating cows. great work, sam

I love how in his driver license it says “sex: yes please”

"This device is called a stunner. Here's a demonstration of how it works." *Thunk*

I am now going to start refering to grazing as "eating the floor". Thanks Sam.

i honestly don't find the leftover tidbits being used for less scrupulous meats as disturbing as other people around me do. it actually makes me happy, as to me, meat is meat, and knowing nothing goes to waste makes me happier than hearing "we left some bits out because they 'looked gross'"

You can eat the floor! *_that's cool_*

"Who knew that 11 hours of pure slaughter could desensitize a man?" *Sam pls*

Yeah that seems accurate for more commercial places. My grandfather worked on his parents farm when he was younger, and he was telling me about how the process worked on their farm. I’ve also seen it myself with deer which is different in the obvious ways, but basically, the cows would be born, eat grass, grow up, and once they were old enough (2-3 years) they would just shoot them in the head out back, wash the cow, strip the skin off (then send it to the tanners to be turned into leather) remove the bones, guts, and hooves. Afterwards the remaining meat would be sent to the butcher where the butcher would take some of the meat (as the price) and cut it up for them and send it back, ready to be cooked and eaten.

0:40 daaamn that sound effect LMAO 💀💀

Send it down the line Evacuate the spine Bifurcate the hind Reticulate the spline *Reoccupy the Rhine*

"even American's couldn't stomach" but Tarare could

fun (or not so fun) fact: the stunner shown around 2:00 is the weapon Anton Chigurh from no country for old men carries around (his was an older type that uses compressed air, which is why he carried around the large air tank), if anyone saw the movie and was curious what his weapon was like I initially was.

1:10 we just not gonna talk about that holocaust joke🤣

“Let there be light” **BABY FLIES OUT OF ASS AT 60 MPH**

Also, "cow" is a colloquial term for any bovine, before any of you fucking walking encyclopedias give your two cents about how its tEcHnIcAlLy a female-specific word.

God: let there be light Cow: rocket launcher

Shoutout to the 7% of happily married meatworkers

rip craig my homie always kept it real on the streets

I love how sirloin is regular loin with a fancy hat.

it's 2023, 5 years later and I'm still missing Sam O' Nella

Watching this after the revelation of the giant white spots on craig

I can just imagine Sam pounding his desk to try and recreate the sound of a cows skull being caved it with a stunner

"Who knew eleven hours of slaughter can desensitize a man". Fuck me, that's funny.

Doing some rough math, when Craig was born, he was shot into the brick wall in 3 frames. The average adult cow is ~100 inches long Taking a ss into photoshop, the cow was 500 pixels long, with the gap to the wall also being 500 pixels. With a distance of ~100 inches, and the infant taking 3 frames to hit the wall, and the animation being displayed in 24fps. Doing rough conversions, Craig hit the brick wall at just under 30 mph, or ~45kph Edit: Thats a KE value of just under 3,000 joules, or roughly the same of a 2003 chevy impala going 5 mph

the way this man draws cows is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen

"Truth is, the game was rigged from the start." 1:59

"This is a stunner, here's a demonstration of how it works." punches stapler with the force of god

As someone who grew up raising our own cows and take care of them up until we send them to a slaughter house that we know the owners it’s strange to imagine how so many animals live horribly

Honestly, the implication of the stunner is a probably the most humane part of the process. If I was about to be killed by throat cutting, I’d want my forehead punched in first.

Do you ever think Sam left us because we never said thank you at the end of the video

Just realised the meat workers are wearing face masks not grinning like crazy

I think the most amazing thing is that this video isn't even sponsored. Thanks for putting it up anyways

Beautiful

I'm so glad you made the "sirloin" joke that was begging to be made.

Let's be honest, everyone who's talking about how he put a dairy cow in the video actually learned that from the Fidel Castro video he also made.

The SIR-loin being a loin with a hat 🤣

Every year I come back to this

“But then, after awhile, Craig gets loaded into the Cattle Car” This is the event horizon, not even light can escape, this is the point of no return.

“Then they’re loaded into cattle cars. If you’re a history buff like me, you know that’s not a good thing.” -Sam O’Nella

the pinnacle of a cow’s discovery: YOU CAN EAT THE FLOOR

I don’t know why, but I love eating while watching this.

"Here's a demonstration" *_stapler noise_*

Fun fact: you can get fired for drinking the blood of the cow as it spurts out Many people get fired for doing this

You should see how they brutally slay the lettuce in the veggie rendering plant

The part where the cow gets born gets me every time

That fucking stunner

I laughed WAY too hard at the “let there be light” joke

0:43 “Hence forth! You shall be called… CRAIG”

Watching this while eating beef ngl

Tells me to not remember the cow has a name Remembers nothing but Craig

I literally just watched all of your videos... all of them... in one sitting... and now it's over... and now I'm sad.

Sam O'Nella is a bloody legend!

im eating yummy beef right now and woah mama am i enjoying this beautifully made video also i lied about the beef im eating cereal actually

“Journey of beef cow” puts dairy cow in thumbnail

Date of Birth: 4/20/1969 Height: 5" Weight: 10pt body 4pt hair Race: stick figure Sex: yes please

Unironically extremely informative, thanks Sam

that do be how you provide beef for millions of people frfr

Craig 2017-2017 Still moos in the afterlife.

Fidel Castro: *a n g e r y*

I just ate a burger while watching this. 10/10 would recommend. It’s nice to see where commercial beef comes from.

I love that Brandenburg Concerto 4 is playing in the background of this grotesque process.

this is the fun way of learning

It’s 3 AM and I can’t stop watching Sam O’Nella please help

"Beauty is only skin-deep, manure runs through the core." - Sam O'Nella, 2017. This is one of the best quotes to ever be quoted.

I love how non toxic the Sam o nellists are

Miss him so much :(

I was woefully unprepared for the comical value of this video

PRESS F TO PAY RESPECT TO CRAIG

I died when he started rhyming the words

YOUR TELLING ME I ONLY NEED A LITTLE BIT OF ELECTRICITY AND THEN IS WILL GO UP??? 2:51

Can't wait to enjoy my ribeye tonight.

I like to think you're actually a stick person.

this is hands down the most chaotic video hes ever made

Just watched this entire video while eating a plate of chicken nuggets that were certainly not made entirely from chicken.

the outro was the best part

I am so glad i found you through my youtube recommendations

Holy crap when he smashed in the skull with the thing I about shit myself

Whatever they’re doing works, because them cows are tasty

As someone who was doing maintenance and repairs in slaughterhouse i can confirm that this not at all traumatised video is excellent explanation of how job is done 10/10

I like how he talks so calmly about stuff like this, But when he talks about Swiss miss... *oh dear.*

Me: Mom, What's for dinner. Mom: Craig. Me: *Devours whole Craig*

why is the best animation on this channel a gorey birth of a goddamn cow

i will never get over the baby cow (craig) getting projectile shat at the wall

"then after about 10 months, he gets loaded into the "cattle car" and if youre a history buff like me, you know thats not a good sign" I CHOKED

I prefer the looting 3 on a fire aspect diamond sword

As you watched this video, hundreds of cows were going through every single step of this process around the planet.

alright that did it im goin vegetarian

Due to coppa Sam can’t start his videos with “Hey kids” because you can’t have targeted advertising towards kids so now it’s “Hey not minors”

I wasn’t paying attention until 0:40, and I wish I would’ve not redirected my attention back to the video

Yup, this is the video I want to watch while eating.
