History WebVideo / SamONellaAcademy

Sam O'Nella is a [=YouTube=] channel made on June 13th, 2016, and makes videos about many different facts of life, from obscure subjects such as "why it sucked to be a pirate", to historical events on "non-water floods", to biographies about very strange people, such as Tarrare, the hungriest man in history. In spite of its intentionally low-quality animation courtesy of MS Paint and more humorous approach, ''Sam O'Nella'' still manages to be both entertaining and informative about whatever strange topic he talks about. In other words, he's what happens if WebVideo/{{GradeAUnderA}} was part of WebAnimation/{{OverlySarcasticProductions}}.

* CouchGag: Every video starts with "Hey, kids" or some variant thereof.

* BlackComedy: Oh, so much. In videos with the names of “Dead Body Hijinks,” “Improbable Tales of Survival,” “Pre-Industrial Surgeries,” and “The Journey of a Beef Cow,” you can expect lots of dark, dark humor. Even more innocuous-seeming topics like “Exotic Animals in Ancient Rome” and “Origins of Phrases” can get extremely morbid, what with the topics of {{LudicrousGibs human-vs-beast brutality}} and [[ItMakesSenseInContext African wife-beating]].

* ShoutOut: In "Scandalous Popes of the Middle Ages," when Sam is describing the Banquet of Chestnuts, he briefly mentions the women at the banquet "[[StealthPun scrambling]] [after the chestnuts] frantically FallingDown like the cook at Denny's when I held him at gunpoint," an allusion to one of the most infamous scenes from ''Film/FallingDown.''

* In his video on the "Banana Republics", the CEO of one of the companies states that "politics and business are essentially the same thing", at which point an image of UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump can be faintly seen in the background.

* In his "Animals in Space" video, you can faintly hear Sam stifle a laugh when describing how Albert V "liquified on impact" thanks to his faulty parachute.

** In Dead Body Hijinks, he also mentions his distaste for a children’s book character known as Amelia Bedelia, stating that he “Hates her glassy-eyed face so fucking much.”

* BerserkButton: One of his older videos was about him ranting about Swimm Miss Instant chocolate, with how he saw that the way the product was designed so obtuse and backward (can’t cleanly separate the bags, the box itself, how each bag only works for 6 ounces of water/milk).

** In Dead Body Hijinks, he also mentions his distaste for a children’s book character known as Amelia Badilia, stating that he “Hates her glassy-eyed face so fucking much.”

%%Commented examples involve real people. Not sure to include yet due to, while troping the thing being discussed is not allowed, troping the skits is still ambigious.

%%*FreezeFrameBonus: On the doctor's list of ideas in the Tararre video,some of the options include to "tell him to just quit being a fatass", using a throat cork (which is originally designated as working, but then crossed off), and "give up and start a business making IRL vore".

%%**Among his list of why bending things makes things better in his reason why bendy straws are good, he lists that bending rules gets you a nomination, with a picture of UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton on there.

* DiscussedTrope: One of his main categories of topics is to effectively do this with various situations or scenarios.
