Hunter August Hancock (born December 30), better known by the online pseudonym MeatCanyon, or Papa Meat, is an American YouTuber, animator, voice actor, and caricaturist. He is known for his disturbing and grotesque animations parodying a variety of topics in popular culture.
Early life
Hunter August Hancock was born on December 30, in Liberty, Missouri.[1][2]
Career
Hancock created the MeatCanyon YouTube channel in 2015, although he did not upload to it until 2017. In March 2020, one of his parodies, "Wabbit Season", of Bugs Bunny displaying predatory behavior to Elmer Fudd, was copyright-striked and taken down by Warner Bros. This caused backlash amongst the public, as they argued that parodies were protected under law for fair use. Hancock replied with a video in which one of the characters said, "since he was legally claimed by Warner Bros. Entertainment, it is officially canon that Bugs was a struggling rapist all along."[3] He later submitted a copyright counter claim, but it was rejected by YouTube, leading him to drop the case as he did not seek to pursue it in court.[4][5]
Content
Hancock commonly chooses children's media to parody due to much of the public being already very familiar with the subjects. The magazine MEL described MeatCanyon's work as full of "sexual assault, emotional abuse, abduction and torture" and always "pushing the limits of credulity [...] conveying a sense of terror in the mundane." Some of Hancock's videos are based on his real life or reflect the current world; his video "Breakfast on a Wednesday", featuring a parody of Tony the Tiger, is inspired by his weight loss struggles, but other mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety can also be seen as themes in his videos.[6]
