Post-anesthesia videos are their own magical brand of internet comedy.

Clips like the famous "David After Dentist" video highlight kids in all their loopy ridiculousness. There are countless clips of adults saying and doing all sorts of hilarious stuff like hitting on their care staff, loudly singing, demanding to dance or asking for a drink because their "eyeballs are thirsty."


The internet has collectively cackled at anesthesia reaction videos for years, but the genre is missing something—animal vids!

Or at least it was, until Dr. Trent Shrader posted a video of an owl after surgery.

The video has racked up well over a million views and been shared across multiple platforms, and it's easy to see why. In it, Dr. Shrader is attempting to demonstrate how to safely place a raptor in a recovery cage after surgery.

Shrader's caption says it all:

"We don't get second takes in wildlife medicine."

You already know there's a fail coming as Shrader talks viewers through safety tips like keeping the birds face pointed away from him—though since this is an owl that seems like a bit of a moot point given the whole head-turny thing. He uses his most professional and informative tone as he demonstrates proper owl handling.

The video, clearly not intended to be a comedy, takes a sharp left turn when he actually puts the owl into the cage. The bird still disoriented from anesthesia after surgery on both feet promptly faceplants.

And then glares at Shrader indignantly.

Twitter felt bad but also had a good cackle.

Luckily Dr. Shrader isn't just a post-and-go kind of creator.

He spent time in the comments reading and responding to people like when people asked about the birds recovery.

The bird did great, so you can feel less-bad about the way you laughed.

It's fine.

Susan Collins Dragged After GOP PAC Boosts Her Campaign In The Wrong Portland

On July 4, 1786, the city of Portland, Maine, was officially founded with its newly-minted name. Almost 60 years later in 1845, Maineiac Francis Pettygrove won a coin toss against Asa Lovejoy and named their soon-to-be incorporated city in Oregon Portland after the largest city in his home state of Maine.

Since then, Portland, Oregon, has swelled to a city of approximately 675,000 people while its namesake boasts a population of just 70,000. In 2026, when people hear Portland, they think of Oregon instead of the original city in Maine.

CNN Just Visited A Struggling MAGA Store—And It Spells Bad News For Trump

CNN correspondent Elle Reeve returned to Whitey Taylor's Trump Town USA in Boones Mill, Virginia, for the first time since visiting in 2023, and her segment shows that business for the Donald Trump-themed shop has collapsed as more MAGA followers break away from the president.

Reeve, in a segment for Anderson Cooper 360, reported that "things aren't what they used to be" for the store. She spoke with Taylor, who revealed that the store, which used to make $12,000 to $15,000 in sales per day now only makes between $1,500 - $2,000 per day. On occasion, Taylor will hit $3,000 in sales if he's lucky.

JD Vance Blasted After Sharing His Absolutely Mind-Numbing Definition Of 'Socialism'

According to Merriam-Webster, socialism broadly refers to economic and political systems centered on collective or government ownership and control of the means of production.

Not exactly a concept requiring a Ph.D. to explain. One would think Vice President JD Vance, a Yale Law School graduate whose party practically uses the word as punctuation, could manage a working definition.
