Not only did he come back, but he came back as hilarious/vulgar as when he left, and with one of my favorite topics. The legend has truly returned, hopefully for good.

You've got to believe the second I saw the notification that Sam O'Nella uploaded I dropped everything and clicked as fast as I could lol, the absolute legend is back

I’m so glad he’s back, and he hasn’t changed a bit

As a zoologist, I love that people are learning about the weird naming conventions! My personal favourite is Smaug giganteus, a super cute (and endangered) Southern African lizard named after Smaug (obviously!)

The best of the celebrity ones is _heteropoda davidbowie,_ a huntsman spider that was named after Bowie because it's hairy and bright freaking orange. Like literally Ziggy Stardust's hair orange. Other huntsman spiders are just gray and brown etc., but one decided to be ✨fabulous✨

Chi Dane Danes actually look pretty normal and cute compared to most dogs and certainly compared to what you'd imagine they'd look like.

Terry's reaction to the Donkey Kong thing was priceless lmao

The speed you got this video up is beyond impressive!

Man, Mr. Terry jumped on this reaction. Unless he was HIDING SAM THE WHOLE TIME!!! :O

I love how Terry is just as excited as the rest of us when Sam came back.

It's honestly really impressive that he manages to not only make videos that are always funny, but also accurate and well-cited.

Fun Fact the Eastern Copperhead snake has had 26 different scientific names over the years! Also love that Sam is back and mentioned a cryptid in his first new video!

My theory is that Sam travelled the world and attained spiritual enlightenment then saw some random article about animal names, screamed I MUST KZfaq THIS NOW, abandoned his quest, and made this video.

We may have lost Overwatch today, but we regained the true MVP.

T Rex was original Dynamosaurus Imperiosus, then another fossil was found called Tyrannosaurus Rex, and it took a long time to realize they were the same kind, and because T Rex just sounds so much cooler, they bent the rule to keep it over D. Imperiosus.

He’s back! The legend has returned and he’s just as funny as ever. To all those who stayed and waited for his return has earned their degree and for Mr Terry to attend our graduation from Sam O’Nella academy.

Your reaction to the donkey kong part was priceless

I'm just happy the teacher has returned and keep up the good work thanks teach

My favorite scientific names come from Austrian scientists. At the beginning of the 20th century, a Mr. Werner went from Austria to Australia (sic!) to classify stick insects. This proved to be harder than previously thought. When in 1912, he finally prevailed and was able to pin down the first species, he celebrated it by naming it "Denhama aussa", which is Austrian dialect for "We found him out". Proper German would have been "Den haben wir heraus", but it sounds better in dialect, he? Same goes for Mantispa aphavexelte. The couple U. and H. Aspöck found out that this critter was hitherto wrongly classified and thus put it into the genus Mantispa, which sounds similar, but is quite not Mantix, the same way as the insect does look like a mantix but is not a mantix. And because it was confused at first for the wrong genus, they named it "aphavexelte", which is a funny spelling for "eine verwechselte" (a confused one). Here we go. And we can improve upon Gorilla gorilla gorilla. The scientific name of the American bison is Bison bison (Bison) bison L. 1758.

Was it worth the wait?

2:12 Your horrified expression makes it a hundred times funnier lmao

2:11-2:26 was hilarious watching his face go from happy to *ABSOLUTE DISGUST* then just like, talk in shock for a bit

5:41 i love the idea that he's been gone for 2 years just writing that absolute banger

As soon as I saw it I literally fucking PANICKED, I spent a good hour just happy crying I missed this dude so much

That was some f a s t editing Terry! Videos been out like an hour.

When I first saw the Donkey Kong sene, I brushed out laughing for a couple of minutes. I had to rewatch it few times to claim myself down. It was so out of the blue.

Wasn't Sam in college for some time during the last few videos? With the amount of research that goes into his videos and almost flies right over your head I can imagine both at the same time is a little much

I enjoy that this review came out two hours after the original video lol . Genuinely think it’s impressive it was found and reacted to so quickly after 2 years of no videos .

Another fun fact is that Octopuses have 6 arms and 2 legs, no tentacles. Tentacles come in pairs and are described differently than other limbs. Squid and cuttlefish have eight arms plus a pair of feeding tentacles.

You did it teach. Unbelievable that he is back. So now I propose to take Sam, Terry and the goat oversimplified for a pimpin' historical and hysterical podcast. I know the two star pupils are busy af to get to talk to them. But come on guys how cool would that be? Or something more likely, like a mr Terry character in Sam's or Over's style that just says: nice one. Greetings from Germany have a good one. :)

"Is that John Green?" now i will not stop thinking about this

Mr. Terry right on the button with this one. Sam's video hasn't even been up 2 hours yet.

Absolutely worth it. He's still got it.

Potential History also came back the other day with an excellent video about Japan's reason for surrender in WWII that you should definitely check out.

I think naming things after either real life or fictional characters will confuse the fuck out of people in the future.

From a competitive standpoint zapdos is technically the best cause articuno and moltres both have a 4x weakness to rock making them ultra vulnerable to the ever present stealth rock threat but I personally love articuno

Fun fact: in German cephalopod means “Kopfüßer” witch is “Kopf” literally means head and “fuß” literally means foot so they are called head-footers.

So get this: Same went on his short break to focus on school, just to finish it, and comeback to continue working on his own "School". Truly, Sam is a man of the Highest of Educations!

I see Sam O'Nella's return as one of the more significant events that's happened

Writing a song and figuring out what music to do it with and figuring out how to match the beat of the song is a much better excuse for a late video than whatever the hell Oversimplified’s been up to for half a year with his latest video

The mnemonic device I always use for taxonomy is Large Dangerous Kangaroos Punching Children On Family Game Shows. You always start with Life because things like viruses exist. As said here though, in every taxonomic level we have suites of characteristics. The Domaine Eukarya for example is defined by large cells, a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles among other things. In taxonomy, the levels of life are: Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species All animals follow this, but it's slightly different for various other types of life. What about us? Well Humans are: Domaine- Eukarya Kingdom- Animalia Phylum- Chordata Class- Mammalia Order- Primate Family- Hominidae Genus- Homo Species- sapien There are various other levels within these levels also said here. You have Super, Sub, Parv and Infra which are the most common you'll see. There are also Clades and Tribes. Primates for example have two extant Suborders, Haplorhini and Strepsirrhini. We are Haplorhines. Within the Suborder Haplorhini we have two Infraorders, Tarsiiformes and Simiiformes. We are Simiiformes. So in reality we can describe humans in much more detail like this. We are Eukaryotes, organisms made of one or more nucleated cells. We are Animals as we can't produce our own energy and have cell membranes instead of cell walls. We are Chordates because we have nerve chords. We are Vertebrates because our spinal chord is protected by our vertebrae and we are Mammals because we are covered in body hair, females of our species can produce milk and we have a four chambered heart. We are Eutherians because we have a bellybutton, indicative of our ability to give birth to live young. We are Primates as we have large brains relative to our body size, we have dexterous hands, flexible shoulders, and binocular color vision. We are Haplorhines, because we can't synthesize our own vitamin C, we have dry noses rather than wet, and we also don't have split lips although we do have the remnants of it. We are Simiiformes, anthropoid primates with complex social systems with which we communicate with others and we also have unique structures with regard our hind feet, teeth, orbits and an even larger brain to body ratio. We are Catarrhinis as we have nostrils pointing down, we have a 2-1-2-3 dental format, and we lack a prehensile tails. We are also Hominids as we have a Y shaped molar pattern, even more reduced caudal vertebrae, and an increased ability for bipedality. Now we reach Hominines. Hominins use tools. We all have a proto culture in which we teach tool use to our young, we all have these long gestational periods of 8-9 months and long parental care periods to nurture our big brains. Of the Hominins, we are of course the genus Homo, and we are the species sapien. I could explain all of these in far more detail as they are all defined by suites of characteristics, but I think you get the point. All of these levels have suites of characteristics that define them. I recomend a video by Gutsick Gibbon where she walks you through how Nested Hierarchies work.

I think the best part of the Donkey Kong joke is your reaction to it, because it seems like YOU censored it and not Sam. 10/10 stars. ❤

Funnily enough mixing Chihuahua and great Dane just gets you a normal looking and sized dog just wiþ pointier ears The exaggerated traits kinda even out

Hey, zapose is my favorite too! Looking forward to seeingba special on Discovery about the Samosaurus in a few years lol

The return of the king in all his glory. also youre response time is impeccable lmao

I like that it wasn't even 2 HOURS after Sam posted again that you had this up!

Funny story: My older brother was playing Pokemon Leaf Green and got to the League. He got through Lorelei, but hit a brick wall with Bruno. He hands me his GBA and says "Do something". I had Onix, Machamp, and Hitmonlee to go through and only Zapdos to do it. Somehow, I beat Bruno and hand the GBA back to Chris, who says "Thank you, Ebi, O Great Escape Artist". Only for Agitha to pulverize him. He didn't properly stock up on potions and revives. To this day, he calls me Ebi or Houdini, in honor of that moment.

Wow, this was fast, I'm glad he is okay and a force of chaos just like last time we saw him. Btw there was a flying prehistoric animal called Aerodactyl due to Aerodactyl the Pokemon, which it was always funny to me

For fun i've been thinking of all crazy, hypothetically possible names Zoologist would have to come up with if a bunch of Mythical creates turned out to be real. Like if Dragons turned out to actually be real tomorrow, in exactly the same manner as they are portrayed in Fantasy full stop, what would their name(s) be? Since there already is a genus of real flying lizards that have that name.

I am so happy, your and his content are some of my favorites and with sam cpming back i get some of tbe best videos + some of the best reactions + w

At this point we need a mr terry and sam on nella collab

I saw him it made me scream when I saw his video

I took years of college level biology in high school . We had to memorize Latin prefixes and suffixes we learned 200 of them.

I love the fact that he returned in full form, like he never left. He didn't change a single thing in his format

Yayyyy glad you are reacting to this immediately thought of you when i saw his vid in the feed

I got way more emotional about his upload than I thought I would.

I really appreciate the fact that you linked the original and told your audience to go see it I watch these after watching the original just to see what other people think but it's really nice to see reaction channels bringing attention back to the content they're reacting on

A new Sam O'Nella video is nice and all but its even better when its history-related so Mr. Terry can give historical context to it.

You hopped on real quick like everyone else 🤣 I love it

Damn you were fast with this upload. Must be super excited to see a video from him.

Sam did a special after credit scene too! Lots of effort in this video

love a bit of sam onella! great to see him back on form

I was just scrolling on my phone and saw a Sam O'Nella video and thought it might be fun to take a little trip down memory lane. Only... wait... I don't recognize that thumbnail. Glad that Sam is back!

It's great to have Sam back! A shame you missed the joke at the end though.

Wow a new Sam Onella and then Mr. Terry is on it within two hours!

"A lot has happened, such as historically significant events" UHH YEAH, SCOOB WAS RELEASED

My favourite "celebrity" named creature is the Psephophorus terrypratchetti, an extinct species of leatherback sea turtle named after the author Sir Terry Pratchett who's fantasy novel series Discworld focuses on a world that drifts through space on the back of a giant turtle

As sam said himself " with enough harassment you can achieve anything"

the video came out like 2 hours ago and you already made a reaction video, you're pretty fast. i'm gonna watch this tommorow though since it's already 11 PM in northern Brazil

My wifi was down all day and when I finally got it back Sam O'Nella was back. Have I discovered my superpower?

"I get that... I get that you know, it's like, finders keepers when it comes to names, but there's gotta be some kind of scientific review process, right?" Tell that to the one who named the Sonic Hedgehog Gene.

One of my favourite double names is Homo Sapiens Sapiens, our subspecies, which literally means "the smart smart human", whereas the Neanderthals are Homo Sapiens Neandethaliensis, "the smart human from the Neander valley". Kind of goes to show the fundamental tendency we have towards thinking of ourselves as the smartest thing that ever lived even though we don't know for certain.

Chi Dane Danes actually look like normal dogs they're basically small great danes with a few pointier facial features

"Yeaaah, animals." - Mr. Terry

Gorilla Cubed. Shiz we got Pyramid President and now Gorilla Cubed.

Holy cow! Brother, you are fast on that record button!

Pikachu also has, I believe, a protein named after it called pikachurin that deals with bioelectricity

Mr. Terry, I know you said not to use it, but now I'm definitely going to remember Domain-Kingdom-Phylum-Class-Order-Family-Genus-Species thanks to "Donkey Kong's P------ C-------- O------ Fucking G----- Serendipitously". (Hint: only the "F" is the actual swear word here, lol.)

Mr terry your a true history legend

You missed the post credits scene. By far the funniest part of the video.

The look of horror when Sam did that Donkey Kong one. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap, you're on top of this!

@Mr. Terry History ive always wondered, what is that sound clip / audio file called that you use at the very end of your videos where it sounds like people fighting and some Egyptian Arabic music going?

I was waiting for your reaction to this, it’s been a long 2 years since his last video.

He dropped another one today!!! When!!! Its time!! I cant wait

Fun fact, the double naming thing happened with my favorite branch of Owl species, the Tytos! Aka the Barn Owls, because there’s 16 different types, like greater and lesser sooty owls and my ultra favorite, masked owls, and yet when it comes to the one with Tyto Alba as it’s scientific name… That’s a Barn owl. In a family.. already known as barn owls lol

1:w0 Like that one guy said "there are decades where nothing happens, and years where decades happen" or something along those lines

So good to have him back! Hopefully, he doesn't overwhelm himself!🙏💖

My personal favorite is Strigiphilus garylarsoni, a louse named after the discover's favorite cartoonist, Gary Larson of The Far Side fame.

My friend sent me a text”holy shit he returned to talk about animals”

“The language nobody speaks anymore” Vatican City 🇻🇦: Am I a joke to you?

oooomg I remember watching this guy react to Sam back in the day.. memories

2:13 and thus he's horrified

I can't see many photos but the ones I have seen make a Chi-dane-dane look like a more viable dog than normal chihuahuas...

I've missed these vids

"Some popular guy named Brandon" - Sam 😂

The Legend Has Returned!

I was probably watching the main video WHILE you made this video

My guy whent into the space time chamber and came back

Man came back strong!
