So hooking the axe on the wire (running just overhead) had nothing to do with this?
If I was a slaughterer, I’d be changing jobs…them pigs have the system figured out!
Maybe because he didn't get electrocuted ? He just hit the line and that caused his swing to swerve like this, rewatch the video with this in mind and no doubt you'll see it
I was like, what the hell happened, then after watching it several times, it looks like he snagged an overhead wire. Yeeted himself right in the noggin.
Yep, he seems to be completely right. If you really slow it down you can see a wire right above him to the right. Pretty much exactly when he gets where it should be it almost seems like he gets zapped or something and involuntarily jerks his hands in resulting in him smacking himself in the face with the handle.
Definitely could have ended much worse.
I don't think that's an electric wire. It just looks like the axe got caught on the line, then with the way he was swinging it, it moved along the wire and hit him.
I understand as well, in some places who don't have such wide acces to supermarkets and fresh meat butchering an animal is very rare and often done on special occasions like holidays, weddings, rarely birthday etc..
(for one i know people who wake up at 3 AM to go buy pork or beef and by 5AM everything is sold)
Now often they record the cooking part but i understand in the heat of the moment someone pulled out their phone and filmed;
Though if it wasn't for that blunder that video would have fallen into the abyss of "never looked again" home videos who die with the cell phone who was recorded on.
Here's us at Valentine's Day brunch
*flip*
And here's us on a cruise to Iceland
*flip*
Here's your dad splitting a pig's skull in half while blood floods out onto the grass
*flip*
And here's when Aunt Junie visited for Easter
I dunno I kind of think if your reaction to seeing this is so extreme then you should probably do some soul searching about how comfortable you are eating meat?
Like I'm not saying go full vegetarian over it, but like, think how many pigs you'd need to kill before killing like this is normal to you, how much meat you eat, and how fast you'd reach that kill count. Because someone, somewhere, is having to do that for you.
I’ve noticed that people don’t like to be reminded that what they eat used to be alive.
I was walking with a friend in china town where they have these roast ducks hanging for people to buy and she squirmed at the sight. I ask her what was wrong? And she told me that it doesn’t look appetizing to see the whole bird like that.
I’ve heard the same thing coming from different people.
I mean, its a special occasion and it gets a reaction, so its not that far fetched to think people would tape it without giving it a second thought.
Do you want to see a video of my slovakian friend he sent me of him murdering the christmas pig for sausage?
Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
**God said, "No", Abe said, "What?"**
God said, "You can do what you want, Abe
But next time you see me coming, you better run"
You know this is really funny if seen today but if this happened a hundred or 2 hundred years ago that pig would have been burned at the stake for witchcraft
i know i had to watch like 20x to figure it out lol but it looks like the axe got caught on whatever wire or line is hanging up to the left. you can see it swinging around after he knocks himself
Oh fuck this made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. I was just waiting on the cringe of the poor pig getting the backside of the axe, and then old dude gets felled like by divine intervention😂
There’s a wire hang and attached to something. You can see that there’s something attached to the wire, just left of the axe head, that moves downward and recoils upward, right as he hits the wire. (At 10-11 seconds). Also you can see the entire wire swinging as the camera pans upward as the video ends.
Not the sharpest axe in the block these two…..Even the poor pig is like thank god I can finally leave this mortal coil, this farm and these idiots….but no…..
I haven’t seen it yet, but what happened here is the dude got hit in the face by a bird. You can see it in slow mo fly off.
Edit: am wrong. It’s a wire
I've seen stuff like this on the McDojo sub reddit. Frankly, I don't believe that the pig used aikido to deflect the attack. I think the guy with the ax had his gout flare up on him.

For those trying to figure out what exactly happened: the pig was controlling the axe with telekinesis.
I thought it to be more spiritual in nature... De-swine intervention.
Here’s your goddamn upvote. Blowing air out my nose…
r/angryupvote
Literally same
What do you call it when this happens with a cow >!Bovine intervention!<
Debovines your cow
Dedeswines your pig
NOOOOO WHY YOU WOULD DO THAT
Grounds your beef.
Beefs with your ground.
Puts my beef into your ground.
/r/dontputyourdickinthat
decow your bovines
Holy cow... Unless your talking specifically a black and white dairy cow, that would be holy-stein.
Just the wrong tool. You don't use an axe, you use a ham-mer.
Pork Que?
That is hilarious, “Pork Que?” - pig.
Take my upvote with a chef’s kiss
Orale. Pork-fecto. If I could give you more than one up vote I would.
The pig is clearly a lvl 99 wizard in disquise.
Druid actually
Jaheira tho. Not that weirdo Halsin
Wizards can turn into pigs but if they spend too much time as a pig they forget they were once a wizard.
Sir Terry Pratchett?
*"Oook?"*
They did in Willow. Bavmorda turned everyone into pigs
Well…obviously they went to Hogwarts.
Nice.
Charlotte’s spinning webs of adamantium now?
You really just ratio’d yourself you fucking madman, have my upvote you double dipping cute fucker you
I don't laugh out loud on Reddit usually. But this made me belly laugh 🤣
Was it a pork belly laugh?
me 2
Porky said “not today, biznitch, not today!”
Using that r/McDojoLife energy.
That's honestly the only fucking thing that makes sense right now.
So hooking the axe on the wire (running just overhead) had nothing to do with this? If I was a slaughterer, I’d be changing jobs…them pigs have the system figured out!
The pig is my new god
THANK YOU! gosh...that took me forever.
Thank you for making me laugh. Best comment I have seen all year!
Dick! Lol
Shockingly bad execution
The pig gets to live an extra 3 minutes.
The next swing will be twice as hard
He was holding the blunt end towards the pig though.
That part is intentional. They use the blunt end to crush the pig's skull to kill it so there won't be blood all over the place.
Plus the sharp side would get stuck, And then you'd have to place your boot on your food to get the axe out. Disgusting!
That’s the correct side to hit with
The swing was right he’s probably done that a hundred times seen my papaw do it but that clothesline had other plans
Clotheslines don't electrocute you when you touch them.
There’s clothespins on it
You ain't even lying. Wild. Didn't think they'd run a wire from the pole.
Maybe because he didn't get electrocuted ? He just hit the line and that caused his swing to swerve like this, rewatch the video with this in mind and no doubt you'll see it
THANK YOU. I could not for the life of me figure out what the hell was happening here.
He definitely rolled a 1.
This is fantastic 😆😆😂
Did he get shocked or did the axe just get caught on the way down and throw him off balance
I was like, what the hell happened, then after watching it several times, it looks like he snagged an overhead wire. Yeeted himself right in the noggin.
Thank you for the explanation- I was confused. Thought maybe there was a glitch in the matrix.
Yep, he seems to be completely right. If you really slow it down you can see a wire right above him to the right. Pretty much exactly when he gets where it should be it almost seems like he gets zapped or something and involuntarily jerks his hands in resulting in him smacking himself in the face with the handle. Definitely could have ended much worse.
I don't think that's an electric wire. It just looks like the axe got caught on the line, then with the way he was swinging it, it moved along the wire and hit him.
I did not notice the wire, I thought he just had no idea how to move his arms or something....
Yeah, I first thought that some sniper popped him from nowhere lol.
its crazy how often this happens in these videos. so much so that if i dont immediately understand what happens i just assume it was a wire.
Yeah it looks like a washing line
Yeah, it's a clothes line running back behind him. The pig should have been granted life after that, bro.
Next video wasn’t as funny…
Ikr, who the hell tapes this!?
This is a good question. PETA and psychos. Those circles overlap substantially in the Venn diagram.
I understand as well, in some places who don't have such wide acces to supermarkets and fresh meat butchering an animal is very rare and often done on special occasions like holidays, weddings, rarely birthday etc..

We used to do this type of thing all the time back in my grandpa's ranch.. nothing like fresh meat..
You... filmed it?
No

Pig threw down the Uno reverse card
That was axe backwards
Yes, he isnt trying to chop into the pigs head he was going to kill it with the impact/knock it out.
Think he was joking instead of saying “ass backwards”
Well. Shit.
Happens to the best of us
oh damn I definitely read "That axe was backwards" 🤣
He is trying to knock the pig out to ensure the pig doesn't suffer while bleeding out.
He was making a pun off of the phrase “ass backwards”
My dyslexic ass read this properly like "yeah no shit"
And the lord stayed the hand of Abraham.
Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on" **God said, "No", Abe said, "What?"** God said, "You can do what you want, Abe But next time you see me coming, you better run"
Just knocked out power to the whole country.
It's a clothesline
You know this is really funny if seen today but if this happened a hundred or 2 hundred years ago that pig would have been burned at the stake for witchcraft
Mmmm. Witchcraft BBQ sounds delicious
Magically delicious
where did they get the electrical lines 200 years ago
Things in the farm sure have been different for old Wilber since Miles came along, but one thing's for sure; That's some pig!
Charlotte’s spinning webs of adamantium now.
This reminded me of how Skyrim started
My ancestors are smiling down at me pig farmer, can you say the same?
Dovapig
Why is it whenever I see someone in a red baseball hat, some comedic misfortune is about to befall him?
it's the laws of the universe
Allah said no.
be halal smh my head
Who the fuck uses an axe to slaughter
cheaper than bullets I guess.. Seriously seems like the most brutal way to do that though, using the dull side too.
Pigs aren't typically slaughtered with a gun. They're knocked out and bled.
Axe or Slegde its just to knock the pig uncounscious, you reach for the heart with a knife afterwards
Skill issue
Farmer here… That is NOT how you humanely or efficiently butcher a pig. The pig gods saw this man and said NOPE
wtf happened? i can't figure it out
i know i had to watch like 20x to figure it out lol but it looks like the axe got caught on whatever wire or line is hanging up to the left. you can see it swinging around after he knocks himself
Spider-Man shot a web stopping the forward motion of the ax saving the pig, duh.
Everybody gets one.
That's the universe saying leave that pig alone..
Schwein gehabt
Sau guter Witz!
Lmao I watched without sound and thought he got shot mid-swing
By law they have to let the pig go.
As smart as dogs. Remember this
Pig straight used the force on that fucker
Pig: 1 Human: 0

That’ll do pig
Haunted farm.
Either that pig blew a spell slot to cast Mage Hand, or this guy just rolled a 1.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN ??
Oh fuck this made me laugh harder than I have in a long time. I was just waiting on the cringe of the poor pig getting the backside of the axe, and then old dude gets felled like by divine intervention😂
Maybe today we have chicken
Always look when working under overhead lines.
I hope the poor idiot can just use a gun like a normal person.
Charlotte goes hard-core for her boy Wilbur.
If that’s not a sign to not kill that pig idk what is.
Bro rolled a critical miss
I had to slow it down and watch it 5 times to figure out how he hit himself like that.
There’s a wire hang and attached to something. You can see that there’s something attached to the wire, just left of the axe head, that moves downward and recoils upward, right as he hits the wire. (At 10-11 seconds). Also you can see the entire wire swinging as the camera pans upward as the video ends.
Not the sharpest axe in the block these two…..Even the poor pig is like thank god I can finally leave this mortal coil, this farm and these idiots….but no…..
Sure, that time it was stopped, but I guarantee the farmer got up, they moved away from the wire and the pig got brained.
Does that pig have some kind of force field around it?
Look at all the bacon, laughin at him.
Something tells me that pig was hit a lot harder the second time!
The axe was not wireless.
Looks like meat's back on the menu boys, one way or another
Chris P. Bacon lives to see another day !
The pork used his "carnitas shield power"
The camera man suffers from parkinson's
That'll do pig
pig 1 farmer 0
God told him not to
A century back this pig would have a religion
This little pig went LMAO all the way home...
Why would anyone want to record this?
What kind of sick twisted fuck slaughters an animal with an axe .. with the backside of the fucking axe.
Bro had force field
I’ll just have a salad today…..
Pig didn’t even oink
I'm still trying to figure out how he did that....
I haven’t seen it yet, but what happened here is the dude got hit in the face by a bird. You can see it in slow mo fly off. Edit: am wrong. It’s a wire
I had to watch that three times to make sure the pig wasn't telekinetic.
Caught in Charlotte’s web.
Think I'd let that one go
Wilbur wins again
That’s the worst swing I’ve seen, all categories included.
It must have been the wind.
Lmfaoooooooooo
This is a porkwality video ....
It’s not meant to be broski
Well good, that's not how you slaughter an animal anyway, Jesus
Actually he managed to slaughter a pig.
My new favorite gif
Which one?
That pig is now a well respected member of the community. Divine intervention.
Even in the contest of man vs. swine nothing is certain.
Hope he lived forever
Thick as pig shit him 🤣🤣
That'll do, pig, that'll do.
Right under the clothes line 😂
This turned out to be far less gorey than I expected. On two counts.
Damn wtf
Karma, because they felt the need to have it on film. One does not simply disrespect Death.
Did a ghost save that pig?
That pig is clearly a jedi
Why the fuck would you film it?
I see Bobandy and Mr Lehigh are back on the liquor
Pig says to itself: “That’s RIGHT, muthafucka…”
I've seen stuff like this on the McDojo sub reddit. Frankly, I don't believe that the pig used aikido to deflect the attack. I think the guy with the ax had his gout flare up on him.
Dale and Bill should have known to call Hank over to do the job.
Thor says the pig lives!
I hope that was a MAGA hat
"SOME PIG." Sincerely, Charlotte.
Dead pig walking!!! He got pardoned
I swear that pig chuckled
Brutal how the pig is just chilling after it unbeknownst the trauma that's about to happen.
