And to think this isn't even the worst thing that happened to poor Jim
Hey, at least he learned the importance of family.
Explain pls! There might be an Onion video I missed
@@musics4meua-cam.com/video/nD0gYVJGahg/v-deo.html
@@musics4me Have you watched "Porking across America with Jim Haggerty?" It's honestly one of the darkest series the Onion has.
@@musics4me
Spoilers:
so, in Porkin’ Across America, Jim’s house is destroyed, his car is destroyed, his dog is killed, his niece is murdered, his wife leaves him, and through an unfortunate series of events he turns into a Man-Pig creature.
He ate too many pork products.
for the love of pig blood
I both love ans hate that i get this reference
Ill never drink another pig blood.
@Don Dimon porkin across America with Jim Haggerty
This happens before Porkin
This should be used as a water commercial.
As someone who's had this procedure done, I can guarantee this is just as painful as it looks.
I am so sorry
drink WATER nigga what wrong with you
This mightve been 11 years ago but i hope your kidney has been stone-free since then
I have also had this exact surgery so I can also verify that it is infact very very painful. I know that this is an 11 year old comment but it was so relatable I just had to reply.
no anesthesia wtf?
Not a joke, the actor of Jim Haggerty (Brad Holbrook) actually got a kidney stone in 2015.
Method acting
He must've gotten the kidney stone to do this role :pensive:
You got yourself a glass of water after watching this.
I have 3 bottles of water right with me, yes I realize this comments is 5 years fucking old, damn
Reimu Hakurei everyday since
HOW DID YOU KNOW TELL ME NOW HOS DID YOU KNOW
I actually paused the video to get a glass of water
Yep! :D
Yeah, me too. I passed one last year that had a "hook" on it, it tore me up. They had me on this synthetic heroin that is 10x stronger than morphine (hydromorphone, or the brand name Dilaudid) and it still did not come close to blocking the pain. Brutal pain, just brutal. I feinted three or four times. Just could not handle it. Seeing this brings it all back. I feel your pain...
How you holding up 8 years later, random stranger?
I would also like to know how ur holding up
Me as well
Fuck 😭
I genuinely want euthanasia for these reasons, not saying im suicidal but my life aint worth my dick splitting in half
I'm so sad I just barely discovered this skit in 2019 because it's my new favorite.
If you wanna see Jim’s ultimate demise you can watch “porkin across America”
Yeah how did it take so long for me to find this one?
Instablaster
Your sadism cause COVID! Karma has harmed us all!!! :P
@@j3en534that was rough as fuck lmao he went through some hash stuff during that trip
Thank you, Onion, for increasing awareness of kidney stones and influencing thousands of people to drink more water and stay hydrated for life.
Dear God my poor penis is so scared now.
And no, Mountain Dew and coffee does not count as water.
@Narslimmus Although extremely unlikely, some people have died from drinking too much water.
@@jacobshirley3457true! a percentage of 100% people who died has been proven to have drank water in their life
Your penis doesn't have feelings. (I said feelings, not FEELING. Don't get smart with me.)
The water in my house is so delicious it's almost all I ever drink.
This is like the most effective PSA ever.
It's so brave how morning show hosts will go public and televise their own surgeries to make the public more aware. Bravo.
StanislavyeungHK He’s being fake, _you_ idiot.
I know. Thanks Jim! 🤗
I wish these were still around. I'm guessing they were too expensive to produce relative to the income they generated.
Yeah, everyone's begging the Onion to do this again, but honestly, just about every single one of these videos is perfect beyond belief. In my eyes, this collection of several hundred satirical Onion videos is way better than Saturday Night Live, on average. Not saying there aren't legendary skits that surpass the Onion's best stuff, because there are, but Every Onion video is just done with 110% everything.
@@goldengod5915 I followed the Onion from a free paper in MSN, WI through Porkin USA when Today Now dropped off. Now UA-cam is putting them in my feed as reruns and they're as good, if not better, the 2nd time around. Can't say that about SNL, so much.
The Onion website is a bit wrinkly, but they're still America's Finest News Source.
They are worth every penny
@@goldengod5915 some of the best SNL might be better in terms of performance, but nothing is more clever than the Onion.
was horrified until i realized you meant these videos. for a moment i lived in a world where kidney stones stopped happening, only because it became too expensive for them to develop within your kidneys in the first place.
I passed a kidney stone around midnight right as I was going to bed a couple years ago and man, it was one of the most excruciating experiences ever! If I had a gun I would've blown my brains out.
I've had a camera up the urethra before, and believe me Jim's reaction is not exaggerated. I've never felt pain like it, just excruciating.
Great work by The Onion.
It’s the worst when they film on IMAX
Listen we've all had our fair share of cameras up our urethras
excruciating... you say
This just keeps SOUNDING worse and worse
@@aceman0000099Booooo! That pissed me off!
I'm gonna drink water
stop eating rocks and stones in the 1st place
2:10 - Jim's reaction to the "Camera" is just priceless!
"There's the pain you talked about!" - I sincerly hope I can use this line at some point in my life...
Jim's reaction after he says "you'll have to start a college fund for that one"
I already drink a ton of water, but... Give me some more water please lol going to need some more water after watching this 😨
@authorization batman yeah nobody cares but its sad that u went out of ur way to let him know. get a life
This is a better awareness video for an illness than any other I've seen in my life. I'm reaching for a glass of water as soon as I finish typing this.
Watching this less than a week from my own surgery, this has given me so much confidence in how the surgery will go when I finally get on the operating table.
I hear that kidney stones are 11 out of 10 on the pain scale. I hope I never have to experience this... I'd probably hurt myself O_O
You heard wrong. They're actually much worse.
@@TheMythicalAcethe worst pain that you are conscious for is 10 out of 10. Most people don’t pass out from the pain of a kidney stone, they just wish they did.
@@8__vv__8 I know it's painful because when I was in a hospital once as a kid the guy in the next room over had kidney stones and I thought it was a woman at first, turns out his voice was ruined from screaming so much from the pain I just mistook it, and it was then I learned it probably hurts really, really bad. 😂
I know it’s a comedy show, but this man has my respect, having such a personal type of surgery filmed for us...
He’s more pig than man now unfortunately
I love how Jim is in horrible pain, but the host and the doctor are discussing it pleasantly and casually like they would any other story.
That- thats the joke
@@mathews2774 And 11 years ago I was saying I liked the joke.
@@Savoots oml I did not see the age of the comment😭
@@mathews2774It happens sometimes.
I too like humor
To all those out there who don't have kidney stone problems....THANK GOD you don't. It literlly hurts worse than being circumcised with a chainsaw dripping with alcohol while being branding hot. I shit you not.
What's wrong with circumcision?
@@bitterlemonboy Presumably, it'd be quite painful. Especially when you utilize a chainsaw that is glowing hot and covered in caustic substances.
@@dylanleechess4504 What? All surgeries are painful. Ever heard of local anesthesia?
@@bitterlemonboy What's right with circumcision?
@@bitterlemonboyop means that kidney stones hurt like being circumcised with a glowing hot alcoholic chainsaw while not under anesthetic
omg unironically, kidney stones sound extremely painful. hope none of us have to go through it
"Let me go Let me go please let me go right into hell"
The host is very professional in her delivery, always cheerful and smiling -- even when segueing into a segment about terminally ill children.
I love how you keep coming back year after year. The vid must be that realistic, huh?
@@bboi1489 Sometimes I forget I've commented on a video when it's been years, LOL
LOL @ heading at bottom: "Lunar eclipse that only happens once every 300 years will happen again in 2012, 2014, 2017."
Lmao I never look down there
That moaning is unbelieably accurate to when I had a kidney stone
Replace pig blood with water
"hear that, jim? more water!"
"WHAT"
I've been scared straight into drinking sufficient water.
As someone who has had 2 kidneystones in the last 8 months this hurts to watch.
I really wanted to see him cheering up the children.
damn. 1st I laugh. then I realize: that could be me. Now I am drinkink water. Thank you onion for that awakening video.
I knew they were good actors, but damn. I had this surgery some 8 years ago, but a few kidney stones since then too. There's no exaggeration in the way Jim is acting. No more no less, that's on-the-money how you yourself would be moving and talking.
The collapsing sideways onto the floor. The pain spikes that make it seem manageable at times (enough to put it on TV, even!) and then you feel it moving and all hope is gone immediately. And of course "that's not gonna fit"
Absolute hell across the board and you want to assault anyone who gives you the most basic advice.
Hydration is key obviously, but if there's an amusement park near you I genuinely suggest chugging water and riding roller coasters. It sincerely helped 2 out of 4 times for me.
I love Today Now so much. Its so much fun to go back and read all the headings after watching the vids. And it never gets old.
3 years later, the actor had a real kidney stone.
Oh no! Really?
They put me under when I had to have this done, which was great. I had to have a stent for several weeks after which was basically as bad as having the stone. Drink water, people.
I’m overhydrated now
I've passed multiple kidney stones. I can say from experience that this is not parody.
This was the hardest video I've ever had to watch
I'm drinking four tall glasses of water from now on because of the morbid fear of dick pain you have instilled upon me. Thanks, Onion News!
Did you keep doing this or
@@danmcdaid hopefully in eleven years they have drunk more than four
Haha. This is so much fun to watch, plus I learned something ! Listening to Jim's screams of agony makes me smile. He's such a goof. Maybe Today Now can broadcast cancer research results live in the future ? That would be so much fun to watch !
Excellent!
Jim's an amazing actor!
I'M DRINKING A GALLON OF WATER EVERY DAY NOW
out of fear after watching this, will someone tell me how to avoid a kidney stone
Drink water and pee a lot!
drink enough water that your pee is usually close to clear. it doesn't have to be always totally clear but any time you're passing very yellow urine is increasing risk.
@@OtterSC2 oh shit, mine is almost never clear, and usually a medium to dark yellow
water, milk + calcium foods, avoid too much salt
Jim, thanks for the gift of seeing your stones being removed. I never considered the importance of preventing my kidney getting stoned. As I ate 8 hotdogs and a 12 pack of beer, while being mesmerized by the 3D graphics, I learned the importance of taking care of my body...for now on only 4 hotdogs and a 6 pack for me, plus some coconut water cause is they say is good.
🤣
Holy fuck this is has to be one of the craziest Onion videos ever
Onions make me cry
That was pretty traumatic for me to witness especially when he was in so much pain he cursed at the male anchor. But on the otherhand I guess it's important to know how this all works since I'm also a male too. Too bad they didn't show inside his urethra I kinda wanted to see the stone but props to this guy🎉🎉🎉
The cause of drinking too much pig blood
Ahhhh "There's the pain you talked about "
There’s the PAIN you talked about!
Having experienced this excruciating pain while laying in the tub under a cold shower for an hour after the hot water ran out due to being unable to move except to twitch in pain, I laughed my ass off at how accurate this is.
The smile when she said 'terminal illnesses' in the end cracked me up!
I love how they show him the device lol
*man screaming in pain:*
Ppl on tv: AAAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
“Man filling out E! News online insta-poll unaware this is the last thing he will ever do” is the most ruthless thing they’ve ever written in these news segments
His pain was spot on, I know for a fact !
they even got the acting pain down too. looks like what it feels like.
I thought I had seen all the episodes but today this one got recommended
The part where the camera bounced off his head made me crack up. Amazing.
Getting this two days before I go in for surgery..
"Jim's Operation" with him standing there smiling. I fucking died.
Dunno. When my friend got big kidney stones, they had her sit in a parabolic tub of water and they ran sonic waves through it. Her kidney was positioned so that it would be where the waves were the most intense. She just sat there for a while and the waves would break up the kidney stones.
one of the best ones yet!
I have never ever seen this. How is that possible?
Excellent work, onion! Jim really looked and sounded sick! Excellent!
I was wondering why the top comment was about getting some water. After watching the video I went and had a glass of water in hopes I never have to go through that.
the onion really needs to do more today now its definitely my favourite onion sketches
This guy is boss
I fucking LOLed until I cried first time to a video EVER.
God bless you the Onion. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
Jim is the man
ALL GUYS WATCHING THIS VIDEO WERE IN PAIN WHEN THEY SHOWED THE 3D VIDEO
What ever happened to The Onion doing clips like this?
yes,Jim,it will fit.
We all usually just sign these many sheets of paper we are given before having surgery . Almost always one of them has printed on it " The surgeon has the right to remove any member of your body if he feels it will cause a detrimental outcome to the surgery " Any member of your body ?!!! Guys you need to hire a lawyer to read this stuff over before you sign them . I am sure he or she can come to an agreement with hospital and surgeon that you would rather have an inferior outcome rather than lose that most precious appendage of your body .
Well thank you The Ontion.. that is very nice.. I always wanted to know that.. :!
I heard those things are contagious.
just ran to the fridge for some water, thanks ONN
Yep! Time for my annual glass of water.
I threw my coffee away though I have to stay awake to finish work
i luv reading the headlines at the bottom
Brilliant.
I've had this done before. Kidney stones hurt.
This why you don't forget to hydrate
Love how they made him piss blood in the animation
Excellent actor too =) cheers
I just drank some water...Thanks Jim
I hope they continue this series.
Literally painful to watch. Also incredibly entertaining!
I was thinking they were going to cut in from the back, the moment they explained how they really do it, I couldn't watch anymore
Brad Holbrook, who was an actual news anchor at one time.
I was so scared they would show it lmao
I love these people.
Surprised more people aren't mentioning Porking Across America.
less pig blood more water
Lucky guy. And the entire procedure was paid for by The Onion too. It seems that some people just have all the luck, don't they?
Still, Jim had to do without his morning coffees during filming, while we sat comfortably in front of our TVs, watching the entire event with our mugs and cups filled to the brim.
