Video Of Owl Waking Up From Anesthesia After Surgery And Promptly Faceplanting Has TikTok LOLing

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.

@drtrentshrader

Owls are top-heavy apparently #mondays #owltok #boots

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.

Megyn Kelly Tells 'Homicidal Maniac' Lindsey Graham To 'STFU' About Iran War In Brutal Rant

Conservative pundit Megyn Kelly criticized South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Tuesday, calling him a "homicidal maniac" and demanding he "shut the f**k up" following his calls for intervention in Cuba and for President Donald Trump to join Israel in attacking the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.

In particular, Graham urged Middle Eastern partners to do more to support the U.S. war effort, telling countries such as Saudi Arabia to “up your game.” He also criticized Spain after its leadership strongly opposed the attacks on Iran. Graham said Spain had “lost your way,” and called on the U.S. to cut ties with the country and withdraw its military air base from Spanish territory.

They're also the first generation—in the United States—to grow up with women on the Supreme Court and the last major milestone of the women's rights movement, the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA), signed into law.

Lindsey Graham Dragged After His Latest Claim About Iran Directly Contradicts Trump's From Last Summer—And Oops

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was called out after he predicted on Fox News that the U.S. is "gonna obliterate" Iran's nuclear program by the time the recently-initiated war with the country is over, prompting critics to point out that he directly contradicted President Donald Trump's own claim from last summer.

Graham, discussing the war that began after the U.S., with the joint coordination of Israel, launched strikes against Iran on February 28, claimed Trump is “the right guy at the right time” because of Tehran’s supposed nuclear program.
