@@LeslieB73 Yea
Actual answer: She lifted with her legs, not her back
It’s all about good form
I know this is a joke but worlds strongest men struggle to lift the back axle of a car (even with adrenalin and steroids), there is no way in hell an average human or average female is able to do that, under any circumstances.
@@jazzabighits4473 I mean, with enough steroids and adrenaline
Pp
@@legoyoda645 "with enough steroids and adrenaline"
nothing, you just tear your tendons at best, that's all that would happen
Maybe the strongest man could like manage to lift a really smol car a lil
Would've been way funnier if they said they performed scientific experiments by crushing mothers children under cars to see if they can lift them.
Odyc Mboden probably couldn't afford more actors
That's what I was expecting. This was a bit more subtle
HAHAHA That's what I was expecting when I clicked the video
Would have been funny, but 90% of the ppl that clicked would expect something like that, I apreciate they didn't go for the low hanging fruits :P
@Odyc Mboden .... i dont care who you are, now thats funny!
Real scientists experiment. We placed ten children under cars then informed their mothers that their children might be suffocating under the vehicles. Out of 10 mothers two were able to lift the vehicles immediately, two used meth to accomplish the task, three asked neighbors for help, one used a jack, and three went back inside to finish watching "the view."
Is funny because math
I was thinking about this too, sports science too
just get unsuspecting mother and make her children trapped under a car
@@jarrodsybil7536 it says meth -probably the trailer park ones
lolol ''might be suffocating under the vehicles''
- Cause I was thinking that unless the scientists modified the car (or made a hole in the ground) so that the child could fit safely under it, it would've had to have been a pretty high riding car, and by contrast any man would simply respond by saying don't be so paranoid, of course the child has room to breathe under there..
Was the "10 mothers" supposed to be a joke? Like I get the rest, exept for the count
*Can a mother defeat Thanos if her child is trapped underneath him?*
XD
Mabey.
Of course, women are amazing
SHE HAS A SANDAL RUN.
She would >snap< Thanos away
That feeling when your satire is so accurate that people think it's unironic and dislike your video.

Is this even satire any more? This looks like 100% something legit you could watch on north american television nowadays
Michael C Onion is at an disadvantage now. Real life is a satire of a world with common sense.
The Onion is real news trying to be fake news trying to be real news pretending to be fake news to confuse the real-real news that are actually just fake news.
Michael C it's hard, when reality surpasses satire.
Same, this is definitely one of those blurry cases where I could see this on Buzzfeed any time now and not be at all surprised.
Just goes to show how laughable media companies have become, to say the least, that the Onion has a hard time making it obvious that they're making a joke.
@Michael C - That's the joke.
I'm offended beyond measure, it's powerlifter not a body builder.
Or strongman
it was actually a strongman not powerlifter who holds the record
And powerlifters don't really use power very much, they use strength. Olympic Weightlifters use power.
@@attoblaze3395 OR a topless strongWOman.
Well you can not lift heavy weights unless you build your body. Anyone who does some body related activity does bodybuilding even playing counter strike to some extend because you use your hand and arm muscles thus increasing mind-muscle connection and even strenght and durability of those muscles. Do not think bodybulding as only mr olimpia or such. Bodybuilding is umbrella category. Though playing game is not as progressive as calisthenics or such types of bodybuilding i just wanted to let you know how hide this umbrella is.
I was intrigued
I was confused
I realised it was the onion
This should be their slogan
Same lmao it got really weird twords the end 😭

Damn, you got me there xD
We should never forget the struggle men have to go through and endure to take care of both of their families.
Tbf whenever there's a story like "a woman lifted a car to save baby" it doesn't mean she lifted a whole vehicle but just tilted it. People do crazy shit when they're under huge amount of stress. Usually we have unconscious limits put on our muscles so we won't damage them for stupid reasons. Saving your own offspring is not a stupid reason
A person who's in shock after a car accident can walk with a broken leg. That's why it's so important to send the victim to hostipal even if he / she claims to be OK. We do crazy shit when we're flooded by adrenalin
I saw a documentary about a dude who was mountain climbing and got pinned under a boulder and was being dragged by a cliff but he pushed it over his head. It was so heavy that his muscle tore off the bone and idk if he can use his arms anymore
Remember, the Onion is satire.
It obviously took the literal path in this case.
True, lol I was running and hit by a car going like 45 mph, after getting knocked up in the air and landing on the ground I immediately stood up thinking I was perfectly fine and went over to help the other guy who got hit before collapsing on the sidewalk a couple seconds later😂
dude adrenalin doesnt make you superhuman, stop telling shit
@Rose Marine that's not the one, but that's pretty interesting
im kinda disappointed they didn’t try the scientific method
Maybe the knife-wounds-on-monkeys experiment drained all their money
What are you talking talking about, it's the method that women are strong and can do anything a man can. You sexist piece of trash.
@@drabnail777 you good?
The funniest part was that the guy didn’t even give us a glimpse of how this is even possible. The ending with him saying I’m onion scientist had me dead. Haha
Lol this is probably gonna legitimately piss someone off
Already has pissed off at least 1200 people.
@@Juhuuu XD yeah
Why would it?
@@dimthecat9418 people not realizing the onion is satire
Yeah some people are just sad
I appreciate the satire, just wanted to clarify for those that don't know: hysterical strength is a real thing, look it up. There are documented examples of people lifting cars up when their loved ones are threatened underneath. They severely damage their muscles in the process, which is why you can't use that sort of strength every day, but it is certainly possible.
No it isn't, it's all urban legends. When you try your very hardest, you are indeed not activating all your muscle fibers, there IS a little bit of strength you're not accessing.... the trouble is, you're still accessing about 80% of it, meaning if your brain could access your body's full strength, the ability to lift 100 pounds would become the ability to lift 125.
you are not going to lift a vehicle fully, you may tilt it over a wheel axis, especially from behind, as the engines mass in infront of the frontal axis. And even then, I doubt the effect will be major, unless the vehicle...well... is really light.
@@Hyperus Also, I think this is likely in cases when you are in a ditch, or maybe the car is upside down. You know in situations where you will have leverage.
Most of the car lifting stuff is just leverage dude. 4000 pounds over the length of the car is possible for almost anyone to lift with enough adrenaline power.
I have no idea what "hysterical" strength is. The reality of the fact is similar to what people said above me. Though lifting an entire car over your head might equate to ~4000lbs, that is not what needs to be done to lift a car enough for someone to squeeze out. The suspension on a car means that the car will tilt in the direction of downward pressure. Some of that pressure could be alleviated if someone were to lift from a particular angle, and very briefly - the lift for something like that would be far less than ~4000lbs.
I want my 1:45 minutes of life back.
I’m relieved he didn’t resort to any actual science to back this up.
@ Yup. No science. Just satire. Gotta love the onion.
I get that this is meant to be satirical, but if just a couple things had changed I could definitely see this being a legitimate motivational video.
I remember back when I was, say, 1.5 years of age and trapped underneath my mom's big rig. She lifted the collapsed cargo container with one hand and scooped me up with her other hand. Truly one of the strongest memories I had of her when I was a child. The other strong memories include when she flew across the Atlantic on the first transatlantic flight and when she invented the raisin.
Quit making shit up.
I would love to merry a woman like that!
You know who else can lift a car??
My Mom!!
So you are saying, we can break a word record by throwing a mother's kid under a car?
*Ferb, I know what we are gunna do today*
Why is this actually wholesome? I didn’t expect this at all and I’m not sure what to feel
its satire bro
@@AnotherAvaibleName I’m well aware. And that’s why I didnt expect it at all. Where’s them dropping cars on babies to test it? It’s unlike the onion
It would be wholesome if it wasn’t so sarcastic.
If you find this wholesome you a bit simple. It's an illustration of schmaltz being substituted for evidence which is all too common now
@@gitman3486 for someone who watches the onion you really can’t tell when somebody’s joking can you?
I was most offended by the implication that a bodybuilder would hold the world deadlift record.

My mom would either miss that this is a joke and love it, or get the joke and ground me. Even though I’m 27 and live in a different state.
problem is, in today's world it's not very clear if this is satire..
Yes it could easily have been a Hillary campaign ad
this channel was always a satire, funny under the bus type stuff.
I'm not sure either, since it not only looks like something buzzfeed would put out, but it looks less ridiculous than their average.
Thats probably why theres alot of dislikes
I mean you can tell it’s satire it’s just not funny
0:41 *That transistor schematic though, lol, I love you Onion*
Oddly it's a Russian schematic. Notice bipolar transistor (arrow was not drawn though). Letter Э stands for Эмиттер (Emitter), К stands for Катод (Cathode).
@@peterthepeter7523 Nah the U.S. uses K for cathode sometimes. I've never seen Э used though.
@Eric Cartman yeah it's slip of the tongue. Try and tell me you don't do that mistake sometimes. Or don't call transistor a transformer and vice versa.
Its like *"Mmmm yes. The science here is made of science"*
@@peterthepeter7523 this is not russian cause n-p-n type written in english.
The arrow is not shown because it's probably educational schematic for n p n and p n p types. Cause you can't draw both arrows for a bipolar transistor.
Now do a baby save her mother trapped under a car.
@MintyCat1 No, the car has turned 😉
I used to laugh at all the comments saying "didn't realize this was fake" because I thought everyone knew about the onion.

lol your shitty little flip flopping sjw didn't have a chance to win, she lost so many traditionally blue states that she made Jill look like a promising president
I’m convinced his mom wrote the script for this
Science bro, you can't argue with it.
I expected them to put a woman’s baby under a car to test it but this works too
That moment when mainstream news is so bad the onion sounds like legitimate news.
*”And run for president”*
Donald Trump: *allow me to introduce myself*
Ah yes, what a strong independent woman he is
well he just said run for president, not become president ;)
Unfortunately we got the wrong woman(not defending trump by any means, he also sucked).
Can a mother lift Thor’s hammer if their child is trapped underneath?
Can I hold this video responsible for my back that is now broken?

Its adrenaline rush-or hysterical strength. Ordinary people shouldn't lift weight way heavier than them even if its with sheer of adrenaline.
I tested and turns out she actually cant... So disappointing
Oh no...
Hmmm
Being a mother is the toughest job...lol
This is satire, but to actually address the question with adrenaline no an ordinary person could not lift a car. Typically we have access to 50% of our strength, hysterical strength can take you to 100%. For an average woman 100% would be about 200lbs-300lbs. It is also worth mentioning that while a car may weigh 3,000lbs, to lift its front or back end off the ground typically requires closer to 700-900lbs of force. IF a woman lifted with 300 lbs of force, the car needs 700lbs to tilt, then 400lbs would remain pressing on the person below which will probably still kill them but is possible to potentially escape.
Yes, if it is a 3000 pound car, then the rear end will probably weigh between 700 to 800 pounds.
There only lifting a part of a car.
That's the point, Instead of using scientific reasons they're trying to be emotional and stuff
@@SteveOnlin Yeah, the video is just joking, but I thought I'd post that for people who were actually wondering
@@SteveOnlin Also worth noting strength athletes can tilt a car, and in some unusual positions even entirely lift it (all 4 wheels off the ground). Although they are males. The Female deadlift world record is 672lbs which isn't quite enough, although if she had full adrenaline maybe. Male deadlift world record is 1,104 lbs which is enough to tilt a car. And they can hip lift upwards of 2,700 lbs.
(The 50% strength access doesn't apply to strength athletes because they access a larger percentage of their existing strength than normal people do, in addition just have more potential strength overall. But with full adrenaline they wouldn't double their records - especially considering they use ammonia to try and get some adrenaline going before their lifts anyways).
The Onion is so comedically perfect, it deserves so many many many more views.
Fart compilations is where the views are at.
Never has there been so much truth in a satirical piece
This has to be one of the most sarcastic videos I’ve ever seen
It turned out to be a myth. Can't believe I bought into it.
I looked it up because I was curious to see if it was real, realized I was watching the Onion at 0:27
My mom lifted a car off me, all while getting my two older brothers ready for school and lifting a truck off my twin.. he always gets better things
The world record isnt 1003lbs
It's actually wholesome
Knowing The Onion, I expected a satirical video where the character crushed a child under a car to test it, but the way this video subverted my expectations in a corny sort of way was funnier, and kind of sweet too. I didn't know The Onion made videos like this.
“And run for president” *shows sketch of Hillary clinton*
I mean, she’s not even the only woman in history to run for president. She’s just the first to get a presidential nomination by a major political party.
I thought he was gonna say "So we decided to look at it from a scientists perspective. We found a mother leaving Walmart, in the parking lot at about 3pm on a Monday afternoon with her baby. John, my assistant, approached the woman and scientifically removed the baby from the mother's membership by first punching the mother in the face to stun her, then snatching the baby and running as hard as possible. With the mother now giving pursuit, we threw the child under my 2018 Honda Civic with 4 wheel drive and proceeded to slowly start rolling over the child, my assistant John keeping the mother at bay from simply reaching under.
After a few minutes, and much effort from the mother... We determined that her efforts were enough."
-- on the scene --
"I mean, she basically lifted it."
*"I mean yeah.. if the definition of lift is, y'know to put a lot of effort into getting something off the ground, yeah. I mean, yeah she lifted it"*
-- commentary --
"We decided to give the baby back. It was was only right that we returned the baby in one piece."
"Oddly, she didn't seem very pleased."
-- on the scene --
*"My bAaaBYyy!!!"*
-- commentary --
"What me and John learned today was a very valuable lesson about what it means to lift something heavy. It's not about how much effort you put into it, but it's about the thought you put into it. I've been your host Kevin Mortali, back to the station."
-- Station --
"Well, Kevin, that was a very interesting experiment, I with could have been there to see it myself. I didn't know "piece"s came in flats. Anyway, now with a message from our sponsor."
*"LEASE A NEW 2018 HONDA CIVIC FOR JUST 299 A MONTH.."*

For legal reasons, this is all for comedic purposes.
