―Sam's intro | ||
Samuel O'Nella Miller (born: 1998 [age 22-23]), better known online as Sam O'Nella Academy (or simply known as Sam O'Nella), is an educational American comedic channel that uses light to heavy swearing. According to his Reddit AMA, his first name is actually Sam but his last name, O'Nella, is "up to interpretation". However, he contradicts this in the same AMA by stating it was an old Xbox Gamertag. He studies Chemical Engineering.[1]
History
The Sam O’Nella Academy account was registered on June 13, 2016. That same day, O'Nella uploaded his first video The Fire — Miscellaneous Mondays. In this video, O'Nella told the story of a giant fire he saw as a kid.
Originally, O'Nella meant to upload one video every day. In this short period of daily videos, O’Nella uploaded informational videos, stories, and rants. However, on June 24, 2016, O'Nella uploaded a video on poisonous foods, and this was his last daily video.
On June 28, 2016, O’Nella uploaded a video on "Dog Breed Deformities". This is his most popular video he has created.
His last video was uploaded on Jan. 29, 2020. He disappeared from the internet for the following year, until he made this Reddit thread stating an intent to return and asking for video ideas.
Style
O’Nella’s videos all follow a similar pattern: O’Nella plays the channel introduction, introduces a topic, after a usual "Hey kids," he then explains the topic in a comedic way, gives a comedic conclusion, and then plays the channel introduction again.
All of O’Nella’s videos are drawn as opposed to being filmed in real life. The drawings consist of stick figures and crudely drawn props.
O'Nella also has a second channel known as Sam O'Nella Vlog which he uses to upload song mashups as well as other miscellaneous content.
Surrealism Video
As a april fools joke, Sam made a video about Surrealism. In which there was buzzing noises in the backround, unusual filters and random changes in sentences. Viewers said that it made them uncomfortable and many described it as watching a creepy pasta.
He mentioned in The Official Podcast, that he wanted to make a video that was completely random as an April Fools joke. But his friend told him to try to make a Youtube Poop in the style of a Sam O'Nella video.
Trivia
