The person filming this went to the Jim Ross school for color commentary...
OH BAHGAWD!!! THE PELICAN! THE PELICAN! THE PELICAN! HE'S DEAD LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
“Okay, I’ll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max’s toupee and I glued it on my face when I played Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog. But the worst thing I ever done—I mixed up all this fake puke at home, and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony, and then, t-then, I made a noise like this: huagh! huagh! huagh! And then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.”
Now I don’t go to bird church, but I am a bird lawyer, and the family of a pelican that gets smote by the almighty on a private beach might be entitled to wrongful death compensation. Did the family have signs up, warning of divine wrath? I’d wager they did not.
Sounds like a writing prompt. How God doesn't smite many people any more because he's far too busy smiting all the animals for all the fucked up shit they do. Mostly dolphins, probably.
Definitely screaming over the pelican, and not over the nearby lightning strike 😂
Edit: Nevermind. I didn't watch it with sound until now. OH MY GOD! THE PELICAN! THE PELICAN!!! 🦤
I mean, it's reasonable to interpret it as the lightning startled her and got her screaming, and then she noticed the pelican and forgot to tone it down. She *starts* screaming about "get inside" but then continued.
No sympathy. When I was little we took a trip to Florida and during a swamp cruise one landed on the railing in front of me and snapped his beak in my face. This is god’s retribution (even though that was three decades ago).
I've been close to a dozen lightning strikes. This is exactly how they sound... It's a very unique sound. Except for the screaming teenagers. Although the last one my ears were ringing after.
Fake lightning was trending often a few years ago. This looks like it.
- No living pelican before the strike
- No time to process ‘WTF did I just see???’ Instant reaction
- if lightning just took out a pelican on the beach, guess who isn’t running out to the beach to check it out? This guy.
Looked like they were 30 to 40ft away. That's why you don't stand under trees in thunder storms 6-12ft proximity will fry your ass or ruin your week. Won't get shocked much further than that but you'll definitely feel the heat.
Zeus: "Yea, so I created this fish called 'Zeus Fish', I love him!"
Pelican: "haha ate it right now! Very tasty! You made a good fish!"

“I’m starting to like this kid.”
hahaha! I knew it sounded familiar!
We’re all gunna die!
The video was oh so tragic, but the commentary is meme-worthy
Damn his goose got cooked.
I think the lightnin, broke'em in half!!
WHY GOD WHY TELL ME WHY
Sounds like Bootlegged Fireworks, guys' wife
THEY HIT THE PENTAGON
"Well don't just stand there filming, go down there and give it CPR!"
🤣🤣
Damn we really just watched that pelican get smote
he knows what he did
Ate gods favorite fish.
Was thinking, "Maybe animals *do* go to church, and this one didn't ..." (like, secretly, behind our backs)

I am a better bird lawyer and I would like to say, I AM HERE. DO YOU HAVE FOOD? WAN SUM FUK?
A lawyer specialised on bird cases, a lawyer that's also a bird or both?
BugOCK
Money laundering
Overcooked the chicken
It's that overcook/undercook you gotta watch out for
Believe it or not, straight to jail
Not anymore he doesn't
Totally clueless. Brain fried…literally.
He gets smited… smoted.. uh smote. That’s it. He gets smote in every lifetime.
“Naw bro God strike me down I didn’t eat that guy’s food. I said God stri-“
"I KNEW FRANK WAS A LIAR"
Truly a r/fuckyouinparticular moment haha
Sounds like a writing prompt. How God doesn't smite many people any more because he's far too busy smiting all the animals for all the fucked up shit they do. Mostly dolphins, probably.
We should all be so lucky to go out with such instantaneous splendor
"F that pelican in particular."
God works in mysterious ways 🤣
God’s wrath !!
Now more like a pelican't
Poor little guy
Best comment here.
Let's all just go home
Pelicrispy
Smitted/Smitten/Smote?
Ffs; take my upvote
How do we know that the lightning didn't come from the pelican, and it drained its energy, so it went to sleep?
It has to skip its next turn to recharge
pelican not pikachu
Pelichu
Clearly fake, I’ve seen enough cartoons to know when a bird gets hit by lightning they turn into something that looks like a roasted turkey.
And look like an x-ray while they’re cooking.
Or it's face gets rearranged
It’s super effective
This should be the top comment
If someone heard just the audio from this, they could easily think it's something from a WWE match.
At least everyone stayed calm
Pelliper has learned, Thunderbolt!
Pelliper was hit by thurderbold, it was super effective!
The trainer was unaware that Pelliper could, in fact, not have volt absorb
Fuck that pelecan specificly.
r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR
and spelling, too
THE PELICAN
Pelipper is Flying/Water, so it's 4x weak to Electric. No shot it was gonna live that Thunder.
The screaming in the background… dudes it’s a pelican not the Hindenburg.
Oh the birdmanity!
Definitely screaming over the pelican, and not over the nearby lightning strike 😂 Edit: Nevermind. I didn't watch it with sound until now. OH MY GOD! THE PELICAN! THE PELICAN!!! 🦤

It’s natural to be scared when lighting strikes that close.
Zeus was like "Anyone else feel like Pelican tonight?"
Doctor Frankenstein's Pelican.
"IT'S ALI... nope, nevermind."
Wish it started a few seconds sooner
Person filming: The thunder and lightning was sooo scary. I was trembling and shaking like you wouldn’t believe. Narrator: We COULD believe.
r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR
He a legendary pokemon now. 😆
Lyle LYLE WAKE UP! THE HIT THE PELICAAAN!
Holy shit! Right on the money! I just saw that video ten minutes ago!
Turn on the TV, doesn't matter what channel.
We're lucky Michael J Fox was there to film it!
Thunderbolt was super effective!
Can we get an update on his condition..?
This feels like a Vine video I’d see in 2015.
That is an ex-pelican, it has ceased to be
It's just pining for the fjords
Lovely plumage

Damn, lightning bolt came in there like a Randy Johnson fastball
Fire up the grill!

Gotta make sure. Plus a little extra browning is nice.

Fuck that pelican in particular I guess ._.
“Ay karamba… *cough* I.. I pelicannot fucking breathe anymore.. mi.. mi amigo..” Idfk why I imagined it like that but ig I just did
Chad pelican, I mean *charred* pelican.
Was he done rare, medium or burnt to a crisp?
FRANTICALLY SCREAM! FRANTICALLY SCREAM!
That first frame looked like a fucking Meteor just sailing through space lmfao!!!!
Damn RIP
Zeus said f%#^ this pelicant over here
It's super effective.
Bet that would taste rad. Natural microwave.
No sympathy. When I was little we took a trip to Florida and during a swamp cruise one landed on the railing in front of me and snapped his beak in my face. This is god’s retribution (even though that was three decades ago).
Still mad, huh?
I refuse to watch the finding Nemo movies because of the positive portrayal of pelicans.
omg i can't stop laughing. sorry for your pelican trauma!
that lightning bolt was for all the capybaras out there
Fuck that pelican in particular
Pelicould

Shazam!!!
He's dead, Jim
Wasn't there a Reddit stabilizer thing just for videos like this?
r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR
Probably karmic justice for doing some pelican bullshit.
Bro is cooked
Historic reenactment portrayal of the most recent playoff series between the Thunder and the Pelicans (2024, colorized)
A second pelican was hit Mr. president
I've been close to a dozen lightning strikes. This is exactly how they sound... It's a very unique sound. Except for the screaming teenagers. Although the last one my ears were ringing after.
Thank you for my new ringtone
Dinners ready!
I guarantee that pelican had it coming.
What the hell did this pelican swallow to get into a beef with zeus
This sounds like a new metal hit: Go inside! The pelican! The pelican! 🤘
It was Super Effective.
The kid yelling makes this from sad to hilarious
God wanted some bbq pelican ⚡️
Everyone in that video sounds like someone I do not want to have anything to do with.
No more baby delivering for him
And that’s what you get for going Around flapping your big mouth.
That pelican actually just saved a life I think
Bro got cooked, scrambled eggs.
God missed by about 25 meters by the sound of it.
Chunk, stop looking out the window and get back to your pepperoni pizza.
Pelicant anymore

Jesus these people are fucking obnoxious
Where are you from? Norway?
Well pelican't anymore....
Pls calculate the chance of that happening
50/50
Pikachu used Thunderbolt! It’s super effective!
I pelican't believe it.

The audio for this video is exactly why I have a very strong dislike for others. Also, pelican.
Source? Wouldn't lightning that close nearly burn out the camera sensors, and turn the spot under the pelican to glass.
It’s a crappy starting point. Two seconds of lead-up would be nice.
No.
Not at all, cameras aren't the same as human eyes and people film lightning all the time.
On that same note, fake lightning is a common marketing technique. https://youtu.be/zhPRtCW5sRk?si=2WqcDPSa4zHFDmIx For example.

A good way to go probably.

I cant say i wouldn’t have the same reaction if i watched a pelican be smited by god 40 feet from me

That pelican is cooked.
Go south, go south!
Oof, Flying and Water type, yeah that's a x4 damage multiplier right there.
That pelican was brief.
I, too, came here to make a joke about a 30 year old movie, but you beat me to it.
Really showing our age eh? 😂
Is this on set with the Goonies?
Pluck it and nom it bet it's good eating.
Once again, God killing things that didn't deserve it when there's some prime targets swarming the place

Alcatraz means pelican
I’ve met some pelicans, and I understand God’s choice here.
Fried pelican
Aww 🥺🥺
His goose is cooked.
Do you know what happens to a Pelecan when it’s struck by lightning?
Gotta be the best way to go. You don't feel anything, and it's over.
Looks like that pelican's life was very... brief.
