Pickleball - The Elder Game

My wife just got into Pickleball and now its all she ever talks about. Is it some kind of cult? Am I doomed?

As someone who is completely surrounded by old relatives playing Pickleball, this is completely accurate

The craziest fact is that Pissed and Pickled is a real podcast and also Meat’s mom is one of the hosts lmao

I’m both horrified and amazed at how good these have gotten

The fact that Hunters mom actually had a podcast about pickle ball really adds to the message

Something I find quite interesting about this is that when the victim/sacrifice begins transforming into a flesh pickleball, he doesn’t seem to be in pain, and is only screaming out of horror at what’s happening to him. That fascinates me so much more than if he simply started howling in agony as his flesh twisted.

Highkey wanna see what you would do with a full horror movie budget!

MeatCanyon is one of the only artists that I think could animate a good Junji Ito story

This is a master class in storytelling. So much content in less than three minutes, wow.

MeatCanyon somehow manages to make me extremely uncomfortable everytime without fail. Bro deserves his own horror anthology at this point.

I love how he’s always throwing shade at his mom

The amount of pickleball injuries I have to take care of while working in a hospital is crazy.

Pickleball is the only game that makes an Elderly feel *younger.*

Give this man a budget so he can make a full horror movie

Crazy how on paper its just "the old people turn the guy into a pickleball" sounds ridiculous but when you see it play out it's geniunely well done cult based body-horror

Moral of the story: pickle balls are vessels of time and age

I see this as a metaphor actually (seriously), playing pickleball makes the old feel younger and the young feel older lol.

MC always delivers more horror in four minutes than most horror films can do in 90.

No matter what context theme or subject, meat canyon can make it terrifying and hilarious.

The kind of horror that always manages to get under my skin is the one where the victim was completely kind and respectful beforehand, and their kindness was taken advantage of. Anyways great vid

MeatCanyon never fails to traumatize his viewers 💀💀

Excellent animation. Exquisite. Love the body horror and the “melt” horror. You can tell this is inspired by some of Papa’s favorite movies

This is both a bit wholesome and disturbing at the same time 💀💀💀

2:12 this moment legit gave me chills. The chant is reaching a climax and as he says this line, the way the lady in front leans in.. staring.. as if that’s exactly what she wanted/expected him to say… and that he just damned himself by saying it. That subtle lean.. just makes me think of a spider watching a fly finally land on her web after buzzing above it for a long time.

Who wakes up in the morning and thinks “I could make a horror animation about pickle ball”?
Meatcanyon does, and that’s why we love him.

I never thought I'd get anxious by fast pace chanting over a pickleball ritual. Well done father.

Wow. I'm deeply unsettled, yet impressed with the writing and animation.

Now he needs to make an animation of SSSniperWolf being a creepy stalker. It would be right up his alley!

On technical stand point you have come a long way. That opening sequence from @0:01-0:09 looked solid. Great composition work.

As a former 92 year old male I have never felt younger after getting into Pickleball.

My elderly retired parents recently asked me to start playing pickleball with them; now I have to seriously reevaluate my relationship with my parents. Thanks for the warning Papa Meat!

You know I always think he can't outdo himself with how wild these get, and I get proven wrong every time. This one was just disturbing on a very deep level honestly, I don't know how to feel about it.

Love how hunter made something for his mom❤

The chanting adds that barbaric touch that it needs, it's very fitting

i love how recognizable JamieR's warping and morphing animations are, that dude is a legend

I would love to see this man with a 20 million dollar budget and ultimate creative freedom to create a full-length movie.

No matter how creepy you tried making those old people, they all looked too familiar and brought a gross comfort. Thanks, Meatcanyon.

As a pickleball employee this is very accurate

I love the way these masterpieces make time go by so slow!

He has managed to draw every build of old person we’ve ever seen

I like how he is able to balance horror and comedy at the same time, it’s creepy but kinda funny

The fact Meat's videos are creepier than actual horror movies scares me.

I'm pretty sure it's already been said but Meatcanyon needs to direct a horror movie already. Meat & the team for sure have the skills and knowledge to shake up the horror genre.

Aw what a happy ending they get to live happily ever after ❤

Pickleball is actually pretty badass honestly its just ping pong scaled up to tennis court size.

Most sentimental ending compared to any other MeatCanyon video.

Meatcanyon can literally make anything scary with no jumpscares, calm voice and only animation. Even sports!

Why did that animation seem amazing to me as well as terrifying and uncomfortable to watch? I love it!!!!

That's pretty incredible storytelling

You should do a dance moms one, how abby was nice in real life but is a normal tough lady in the camera because that's what the producers wanted her to be but after the deaths of her dog and her mother, she slowly starts into the monster that the producers want her to be.

Your animations are so funny and they make my day, your art style is genuinely horrifying and it's awesome, I love your videos

The Chanting, Panting, and the fact that 3 minutes worth of content was enough to give me insane curiosity of a potential story, is proof that meat canyon is a creative genius.

This is exactly why you should always check the brochure before passing them to your grandparents.

so funny thing, the outfits and demographic for pickle ball is 100% accurate here. i work at a community center and pickle ball is a really popular activity we have from late fall to early spring, and its practically cult like with how our customers all have a app to see where they are playing pickle ball that day. but i still find it hilarious to see the outfits being 100% on point

this is literally the gated community I work for, they have like 6 pickle ball courts, held a tournament for it and everyone that showed up to play was that elderly with "bat wings".

I keep rewatching this over and over. The chanting is hypnotic

You never fail to make me feel uneasy

The eldritch horrors that this man produces are absolutely exquisite, bravo papa meat, your talents should be more recognized.

My great grandpa and grandparents have played pickle ball for a long time before it got a lot more popularity love that it’s a sport they can play and enjoy

Nice to see JamieR doing what he does best.

The directing of this was perfection.

You never secede to amaze me every time you make an animation like these.

Wow this is spot on. My mom recently got into pickleball and she literally said "It's the fastest growing sport ya know"

That was twisted horrifying! and I like the twist at the ending👍

This is only horror if you look at it from the kid’s point of view, if you look at it from the elderly couple’s pov, it’s romantic af because it made them young again

The way I thought the guy was going to turn into a pickleball only to find out he just became a young pickleball player.... god
Edit: Nope. just realised he turned into a pickleball and got burned to death. and either the old people who poured the sacrificial juice on him grew younger or the guy simply sacrificed his body and reincarnated into the old dudes

This pretty much embodies Jawbreaker 2 and FOR THE SUN. Love it.

Badass video as always love the horror movie references

Glad to see this son promoting his mothers pissed and pickled podcast in the most wholesome way possible.

This felt like a trailer to a good horror movie. Also maybe this is why my class learned pickleball in 5th grade.

This is the comedy ive been looking for my whole life. A+++

Papameat great work as always and i get a feeling this was inspired a lil bit from your fear from younger age as if your grandparents touch you that you would age. I had the same fear not ganna lie. Keep up the great work!

This is amazing.
I love it.
Please please please dont ever stop making such great things.

The fact I was just taught how to play Pickleball by two random 90 year old guys yesterday. The timing couldn't have been crazier.
Hello, my fellow young dope people. I am just lit! Thanks for checking in! 💯💯🔥🤙🙂

This is an amazing horror story than can be taken to a live action film.

It was this day I first learned of pickleball. I then went and watched a 27 minute video of how to play pickleball then returned to this video. What a day.

Jesus, you mail it again 😂🔥 I wanna see you and @JonTron make a video together!! Your dynamic would be sick 👌🏽

Aye this is wicked felt a lot longer than it was lol I love it when you step out of your norm😄

cant wait to see how meatcanyon will animate jacksfilms and sssniperjerk drama

that tantric chanting is sooo effective, and Jamie still crushing it with squashing and stretching like no other animator, good stuff

I like to imagine instead of the couple getting younger, they turned into god-like beings and flew into space together.

Ok now here me out, the elderly couple were so sweet at the end

Honestly the quality of his cartoons has only gotten better and better

This was literally the first time I’ve heard of pickleball. This chant will be the only thing I hear anytime anybody mentions it now 😂

Your videos make me feel how late night Teletoon used to make me feel as a child way back in early 2000s.
Horrified yet grossely fascinated

Crazy how MeatCanyon can turn anything into something incredibly eerie and/or horrifying. Creative genius 👏🏽

Tbh my favorite one. Really good, the scenes, the animations, the story. It's really well done.

the ribs seen briefly through the trypophobia holes at 2:02 is something I saw in a dream last Friday, no lie

This is one of my favorites from Papa Meat

I work part-time for a Parks and Rec. department that hosts Pickleball events and this shit is so fucking accurate. The people who play Pickleball make it their whole personality and they’re all mostly wealthy older people with huge entitlement issues…

I’m so glad to see meat canyon finally address the pickle ball fans

the concept that they get young by doing a pickleball ritual is awesome

This is some A24-type horror. this is some exquisite art man. I don't understand your work ethic and how you can manage 2 channels consistently with amazing quality and have a podcast on the side, but it's something I look up to. you're the man papa meat!

So glad you and Jamie connected.

the story pacing in this was incredble

My mom is literally addicted to pickleball. She even opened her own gym and does podcasts. It's her whole personality 😂

I don't think I can ever unsee a man's own limbs rolling themselves to shreds

I think this might be my favorite meatcanyon animation lmao this is awesome

I was already terrified of pickleball. After watching this, I'll never sleep again. Thanks Papa!

I genuinely didn’t think that anybody would be satirizing this topic, but I am so happy about that. All that my dad and his girlfriend and friends talk about now is pickle ball.
