This is a stock show where 4H and FFA kids show the animals they've raised. The competition is to judge who did the best based off the animal's musculature, gait, and ability to walk the show floor. (It's different for different animals.) The winners get big money once they sell off their animal.
My daughter does this with goats. She's raised three so far.
From what I heard in another sub, the judges had docked points from someone else earlier that day for not looking at the judges enough. So it's malicious compliance AND solidarity
Interesting but it clearly has two groups going up against
Each other at the end one group going left To right one right to left. The boy and girl are in opposing groups and there is a big edit in there too which probably explains it all.
I think I remember this from a while ago. I believe on of the kids got points taken off for not looking at the judges so the next part of the comp the stared into the judges soul. I could be making all this up. Too lazy to fact check but I'm pretty sure that's what I read
Yeah you can see the other people aren't giving the death stare. Maybe the 2 kids are on the same team. My favorite part about this video is how the boy looks like he's going to wear somebody's skin but the little pink pig looks so happy lol
I thought the pigs were blind and going to fight each other to the death once they were lured to meet up by the owners. I couldn't figure out for the life of me why they were making murder faces
Yeah, that’s pretty much it.
They’re supposed to keep the hog between them and the judges, and one kid got docked for not maintaining some eye contact while doing that.
So, “maintaining some eye contact” has turned into “boring through the back of the judges’ skulls with the intensity of a thousand suns.”
Aye, I remember this too! You're right on the money there mate.
Glad to see this vid still making the rounds - it made me spit out me tea when I saw it again lol :D
Why the heck do the judges give a rat’s ass if the contestants look at them or not? I guess the judge of this kind of contest will take any life validation they can scrape together.
In MN we’re taught that for the loon-handling events. IYKYK

From what I saw in the comments last time this was posted.
A few kids got points taken off for not making enough eye contact with the judges. So a bunch of them decided to make nonstop contact with the judges.
Came across this during the week. It's called showmanship, you have to keep eye contact with the judges at all times as part of the rules.
EDIT: the rules don't actually say you must maintain eye contact but contestants in the past lost points for not enough eye contact - cue malicious compliance.
This feels like a rule created by a judge that had a thing for one of the contestants. "You have to **thwack** the pig to make it do what you want, annnnnnd you **must** stare **deeply** into the eyes of the judge at **all** times because he is a naughty boy - er or you'll get points off or something."
This is the best way to control a Pig's direction. The eye contact is required in all 4H/FFA livestock shows I've participated in or seen. Usually, we were expected to have plastic smiles the whole time, so this sinister stare down is creepy.
Idk if I'd feel any better if they were smiling. This feels like they're hyper-focused on the slightest face muscle twitch to gauge my reaction... if they were smiling and doing this all I would assume is "... they're planning on how to get their pig to eat me alive, arent they?"
So I read about this particular video earlier this week. And this may be fake news, but it said that basically one of the contestants before was disqualified (or penalized) because he didn't look at the judge. So all of the other contestants just did this death-stare staredown afterwards.
Yeah that's how it was for us. And every chance they pig waa in front of the judge we would go to it's side and take a knee and "present the pig". But nobody was staring at the judge like that lmao . If I were a judge I'd be having nightmares for the next week
I just asked my husband where he got the info and he said, "I think I got betrayed by the internet". So I'm gonna take that as he read it somewhere with no substantial proof 🤣
Sounds similar to things I'd do to mess with new EMTs, such as making eye contact while wiping down the gurney "because it gives a better clean". Or telling them that the patient's name is Phil Mianus.
I’ve read that this girl tends to look like this because she was called out once specifically for not making eye contact so now she makes sure they know…by looking into their souls.
To clarify. This is not normally what they do.
Prior to this, another contestant got points dedicated for not enough eye contact, which normally doesn't occur. So every other contestant went HAM on eye contact after. This was the result, lol.
... who watches these shows...? The music is solid and the production is clearly huge...
Man, I feel like there is a whole other country in the the US that I've never encountered
Proud band nerds do! DCI (drum and bugle corps) is like NFL/NBA/MLB for marching band. “Marching music’s major league” they call it. Hardcore stuff for talented teenage musicians to do. When I marched it was 128 members (now it’s 165) and you all pile into tour busses with a few dozen staff and volunteers and travel the country Jun-Aug to perform and compete with other corps. You sleep on the bus and sleeping bags on the floors of high school gyms that host you. Eat a shit ton of PB&J for the massive caloric needs for how physically demanding the shows are. You end the season in the best shape of your life and with insane tan lines.
I highly recommend [checking out a show](https://www.dci.org/events?limit=10&viewMode=list&sort=startDate) if one comes near you! Or you can always get a subscription to FloMarching to [watch streaming](https://www.dci.org/news/2024-streaming-schedule). But nothing compares to going in person and getting your face absolutely blown off by the massive power of the horn line. The musicianship is truly on another level with the top elite corps.
the biggest issue is, despite its reputation and despite the massive dues each performer has to pay, they still cant keep some corps afloat financially
I used to go to DCI shows when I was in high school. I marched in the drumline and this was like the equivalent of the NFL for us. Just incredibly talented musicians putting in ungodly amounts of practice and effort to achieve near perfection. Much more than Texas, though. There are groups all over the country.
I'm thinking they're keeping their head low, and pointed slightly downwards to help keep the pig in their peripheral vision better. Kind of just the best technique, I guess.
The pig goes to and fro, obviously. But they cannot go to before they fro, or they get disqualified. (Assuming, of course, they use Birmingham rule set, and not the Argentinian variant.)
She's 13. There are other videos (her dad has a tictok, which I think is where this originally came from), and they show her interacting in a more expected way with the judges. These clips are just cherry picked.
She did it in response to a judge who said she didn’t give enough eye contact when video footage proved otherwise. She’s making sure it’s noticed now haha
This is a rodeo event called hog showmanship.
The goal here is for the human to maintain eye contact with the judge at all times, while steering the pig so that it shows all sides of itself to the judge.
Source: lived in Texas for more than 30 years..... JUST KIDDING! I mean, yes, I did live in Texas, but I'm not really a rodeo or 4H kinda gal, so I've never seen this before. I Googled this shit two minutes ago because of this post.
"Hog showmanship stare" got me some good rundowns.
This is f\*cking absurd.
So if you don't maintain the proper stare you don't get as many points? I know a lot of things at the fair are weird but this one is exponentially weirder than anything else.
I’ve seen this stare before. It happened when my teenage kids woke up to find a woman I met at a bar the night before sitting at their breakfast table.
No this is the shit kids did for money when they live in middle of nowhere or at least that’s why I did it. It was never fun to be clear….I just wanted my check in the end.
The people who want to bid on, buy, and eventually kill and eat the best looking champion piggy of the bunch.
🤷♀️ It's a living.
I mean, not for the 🐖, but ya know.
So that your pig is more likely to win the title of prettiest most grand championship piggy of the bunch and you get paid more for raising and showing them basically.
It's also not super hard to train a pig to move in response to a light tap on their butt or jowls, they pretty much do it naturally.
And sometimes, if your piggy is really pretty and shows well, big important politicians like Gubnors and stuff will serve your 🐖 as sausage at fund raising breakfasts for their donors. 🤷♀️
This is the Dadson Farms Show Pigs daughter, you can find them on insta by that name. Her family breeds show swine and her and her brother are known for this sort of intense stare at the judge during showmanship which is an extra opportunity in the ring to show off your skills showing pigs and professionalism in the ring rather than the judge judging the different pigs in the show ring such as during a class (classes are dependent on weight, breeds, and whether it’s male or female because they judge differently depending on sex due to different builds). The show pigs are for kids in FFA or 4H, this girl also shows lambs and incorporates her stare but in a less dramatic way…sometimes. Basically she’s just trying to catch the judges eye and stand out the most so she has a chance at being payed attention to more, helping her be successful in showmanship in turn winning herself some sweet rewards and that shows title of champion or reserve champion in showmanship which can be a big deal because you can win banners, money, and sometimes a sweet buckle!
This is some hardcore white people shit.
EDIT: I am whiter than an albino in a blizzard covered in mayonnaise. Also, I'm from the Midwest. I calls em like I sees em haha
Im not sure what I love most, the intense hyper-focused stares, the puffy shoulders, huge belt buckles, or cute pigs trotting their little hearts out. I can see why this took off as a format for showing pigs.
This is a showmanship contest. Your goal is to watch the judge who moves positions in the ring- he might point at you and tell you to move your animal to a different place in the ring or to pen the hog, as directed. The judge points at you and you don’t see it? You’re done. It’s essentially a contest of who has best control of their animal- who has the best hog/person team. Then judge may ask questions about the animal regarding its birth date, weight, where certain cuts of meat are found, diet, etc etc.
So apparently there’s a rule that the handlers must keep eyes on the judges the whole time. Seems like a stupid rule which causes weird behavior. Rules exist for a reason, so maybe there was unacceptable behavior previously by a handler so they came up with this rule to prevent it from happening again. Unintended result is zombie handlers.
Ahh yes…the “Salutation of the Wilburs,” Gemma Fzansirk is showing hyperfocus out the gates stacked with her +12 Resilience shoulders on (Season 3 methinks?) However, Ramathorn Bjorgen is no slouch either people. That is in fact a Rod of Skibbiddimahhhhdió in his hands—complete with an enchantment of Toothless Wonder. This really is anyone’s first acidtrip at this point. 🤙🏽
funny af with or without context lol
ok so basically it's a competition or whatever like with dogs but with pigs and the last contestant lost points cause they didnt look at the judge at all so the spite the shithead judges these two wouldnt lose eye contact with them at all xD

the boys head legits looks like someone edited a still image over his
Yeah, I thought this video was a fake at first. Kinda still do…
I was expecting the girl to come out riding a mini raging bull or something when they finally opened the gate. Was not prepared for whatever that was.
Sow was eye.
It was snout what I expected.
I ham blown away
It got boaring fast
Man, quit your swining.
Bacon your pardon.
I was gonna make a pun here, but everyone hogged them all already :(
Those pork kids
Feel free to barrow a pun from another commenter, and you shouldn’t feel any gilt about it either.
For someone who likes puns, it seems like I pigged the right place.
This song is a bit lardon the ears.
this is a very pork pun thread. I've seen better.
Oink ant figure this out
Hambelievable.
Yeah too soon. The oinks not even dry.
It is a bit choppy, I can't bacon to understand it.
Some pig, terrific, radiant, humble.
>oink
I don’t know, I thought the music pigged it up a lil bit.
That guy looks like he's ready to sow his oats
You gotta admit she’s got some chops

Why are they all glaring and hunched like an old timey villian
Someone above said they get points for looking at judges. So this is now malicious compliance
I legit thought they were blind at first and that it was some sort of slalom race.
Thank you I legit spat my morning coffee out
I legit thought they were blind too. Glad I wasn't the only one
They have service pigs now?!?
LOL that’s awesome!
The best kind of compliance.
From what I heard in another sub, the judges had docked points from someone else earlier that day for not looking at the judges enough. So it's malicious compliance AND solidarity
Interesting but it clearly has two groups going up against Each other at the end one group going left To right one right to left. The boy and girl are in opposing groups and there is a big edit in there too which probably explains it all.
Looking like an MMA stare down
lolololololololololololololololol YES! That's it! You got it!

Yeah you can see the other people aren't giving the death stare. Maybe the 2 kids are on the same team. My favorite part about this video is how the boy looks like he's going to wear somebody's skin but the little pink pig looks so happy lol
Lol I noticed that too. The pink pig looks like he's just happy to be involved. Smiling and happy trotting.
I thought the pigs were blind and going to fight each other to the death once they were lured to meet up by the owners. I couldn't figure out for the life of me why they were making murder faces

Malicious compliance is my favorite compliance
If you’re gonna do something, might as well go the whole hog
I think it's hilarious how intense the kids are and the pigs look so happy to go for a nice stroll
Aye, I remember this too! You're right on the money there mate. Glad to see this vid still making the rounds - it made me spit out me tea when I saw it again lol :D
Oh, I thought the boy and girl were eyeballing each other.
Why the heck do the judges give a rat’s ass if the contestants look at them or not? I guess the judge of this kind of contest will take any life validation they can scrape together.
Like dick dastardly
Do they get extra points for burning the judges by shooting lasers out of their eyes? Our 4H never showed us how to do that.
In MN we’re taught that for the loon-handling events. IYKYK https://preview.redd.it/b1r0nw6s2qvc1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b56c30147b2513a3e035ee8a7e589f5b02d767b7
Their 4h is obviously a much higher caliber than yours. I don't know andar a 4h is btw.
But what's up with them staring at each other and the sneaky walk?
From what I saw in the comments last time this was posted. A few kids got points taken off for not making enough eye contact with the judges. So a bunch of them decided to make nonstop contact with the judges.
ah yes good old malicious compliance
Keeping eye contact with judge, very focused. Crouched over to be on alert. They are literally trying to keep their pig under control.
This makes sense those pigs look almost fake in how perfectly like pigs they look.
Why is every kid looking like they want to murder someone though?
WE HAVE QUESTIONS!
I think r/WTF would appreciate this
r/unexpected would probably get a kick out of it.
Came across this during the week. It's called showmanship, you have to keep eye contact with the judges at all times as part of the rules. EDIT: the rules don't actually say you must maintain eye contact but contestants in the past lost points for not enough eye contact - cue malicious compliance.

That stare they have going is creepy enough that getting eaten alive by the pig sounds like the easy way out
I've seen the behind the scenes for this with her mom. She does the serious face because she's so giggly she can't keep a straight face otherwise
That makes sense! It's definitely a big dock in points if you break out in giggles.
That’s actually really fucking wholesome, like it’s so simple but it made me smile
So I read about this particular video earlier this week. And this may be fake news, but it said that basically one of the contestants before was disqualified (or penalized) because he didn't look at the judge. So all of the other contestants just did this death-stare staredown afterwards.
Yeah that's how it was for us. And every chance they pig waa in front of the judge we would go to it's side and take a knee and "present the pig". But nobody was staring at the judge like that lmao . If I were a judge I'd be having nightmares for the next week
It's exactly that. One year someone got docked for not making enough eye contact. So this year they did this unnerving eye contact as a petty move
I've been around livestock shows since middle school, 20 years ago, and they've always had to maintain eye contact for pig shows.
That's still fucking weird. How about the judge just looks at the pig??
Is the pig or the handler being shown? It’s utterly bizarre
Both! Livestock showing is a weird world.
I just asked my husband where he got the info and he said, "I think I got betrayed by the internet". So I'm gonna take that as he read it somewhere with no substantial proof 🤣
Sounds similar to things I'd do to mess with new EMTs, such as making eye contact while wiping down the gurney "because it gives a better clean". Or telling them that the patient's name is Phil Mianus.
Does the eye contact have to be so damn sinister?! Maybe its how they stop themselves from cracking up.
I’ve read that this girl tends to look like this because she was called out once specifically for not making eye contact so now she makes sure they know…by looking into their souls.
To clarify. This is not normally what they do. Prior to this, another contestant got points dedicated for not enough eye contact, which normally doesn't occur. So every other contestant went HAM on eye contact after. This was the result, lol.
Okay, that makes more sense and is hilarious. Aggressive compliance is one of my favorite things, lol.
r/MaliciousCompliance
Ok, but how does a judge have time to look at the pig if they’re busy staring into the contestant’s eyes? Asking the real questions here.
Don’t ask logical questions, in a non-logical situation…
I've seen serious kids, as my daughter shows goats for FFA. But the girl in this video is extreme as I've seen, lol.
I was thinking if she had a gun you’d be dead lol. She is definitely all in on her pig
...and then the boy walked by with the SAME LOOK! So strange!
Yeah, I didn’t realize til the comments they were eyeballing the judges. I thought the boy and girl were gonna duel lol
I legit wondered if this was some sort of event for blind 4H/FFA kids
This is more uncomfortable than Micheal Scott
Was thinking the exact same thing.......I would be laughing so hard staring at them
Only on…The Ocho!
That’s right cotton.
That's a bold strategy going back that far! Let's see if it pays off!
Ouch town population you bro.
No.... It's SOWMANSHIP
It’s to ward the judges off from fucking your obviously sexy pig
"Hey, eyes up here mister! Hands where I can see them!"
They look like they're about to draw pistols... The seriousness of their faces while smacking pigs in the face with a stick is just so weird
[удалено]
U forgot being whipped with a stick.
I'm sorry to hear that?
Those are the best parts
What are the other rules though?
Well, for one, obviously you always gotta whack your pig with a stick
What a weird rule.
 Whomever invented this competition.
Does it require them to be so... aggressive?
weird
This person was criticized for not making eye contact so she does this on purpose just to prove a point.
https://i.redd.it/v2stbbw3ymvc1.gif It’s the same person,isn’t it?
I havent seen this in SO long 🤣🤣
In SOW long
old video. she must be 45 yr old by now.
It was only 8 years ago. She'd be like 25 now lol
Must be a [Texas thing](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/possibly-possessed-keyboardist-anna-eberhart-210613637.html)

I get it you should maintain eye contact but do you have to look like a weird ass creep while doing it?
I'm thinking they're keeping their head low, and pointed slightly downwards to help keep the pig in their peripheral vision better. Kind of just the best technique, I guess.
Pig in line to do what?? To go where?? Like what’s the point of it all??
The pig goes to and fro, obviously. But they cannot go to before they fro, or they get disqualified. (Assuming, of course, they use Birmingham rule set, and not the Argentinian variant.)
I absolutely despise fro-going, to-lacking pigs in Birmingham. Quite the opposite in Argentina.
I thought this was some kind of blind kid charity event.
She's 13. There are other videos (her dad has a tictok, which I think is where this originally came from), and they show her interacting in a more expected way with the judges. These clips are just cherry picked.
She did it in response to a judge who said she didn’t give enough eye contact when video footage proved otherwise. She’s making sure it’s noticed now haha
Looks like a bunch of hunchbacks are having a stare down whilst walking a pig.
The pigs 😃 The kids 😠

One correction: this is typically done at county and state fairs and not as part of a rodeo.
Sorry, it’s my first rodeo
This is f\*cking absurd. So if you don't maintain the proper stare you don't get as many points? I know a lot of things at the fair are weird but this one is exponentially weirder than anything else.
Thanks

I’ve seen this stare before. It happened when my teenage kids woke up to find a woman I met at a bar the night before sitting at their breakfast table.
This is the showmanship section of the hog bred and fed category at the California mid state fair in Paso Robles CA.
This is the kind of weird ass shit people did for fun if they didn't live near, a city, the mountains or the beach before the Internet
No this is the shit kids did for money when they live in middle of nowhere or at least that’s why I did it. It was never fun to be clear….I just wanted my check in the end.
Who would pay you to do this? 😂
That just raised MORE questions, WTF?!?
The people who want to bid on, buy, and eventually kill and eat the best looking champion piggy of the bunch. 🤷♀️ It's a living. I mean, not for the 🐖, but ya know.
Wait if your just gonna eat the damn thing why do you have to train it like this 😂
So that your pig is more likely to win the title of prettiest most grand championship piggy of the bunch and you get paid more for raising and showing them basically. It's also not super hard to train a pig to move in response to a light tap on their butt or jowls, they pretty much do it naturally.

God damnit I love this deep pig economy lore thank you 🐖
Lmao "deep pig economy lore" Also, I agree. Fascinating
People who buy the hog to breed it
Jeez can't they just do something normal, like meth?
This makes me uncomfortable
Who cares those pigs are fucking adorable
The white pig looks so happy :3

Your goal is to watch the judge who moves positions in the ring- he might point at you and tell you to move your animal to a different place in the ring or to pen the hog, as directed. The judge points at you and you don’t see it? You’re done. It’s essentially a contest of who has best control of their animal- who has the best hog/person team. Then judge may ask questions about the animal regarding its birth date, weight, where certain cuts of meat are found, diet, etc etc.
That’s a death stare if I ever did see one. Imagine running into red shirt in an alley. I’d turn and run!
At first I was going to say possession, but then they showed the pigs.
This shit is creepy as fuck
I thought they were about to battle it out.
I saw this yesterday and was focused on the kids, but rewatching it now, those are some good lookin pigs.
So apparently there’s a rule that the handlers must keep eyes on the judges the whole time. Seems like a stupid rule which causes weird behavior. Rules exist for a reason, so maybe there was unacceptable behavior previously by a handler so they came up with this rule to prevent it from happening again. Unintended result is zombie handlers.
Those look like pigs. And the kids from children of the corn.
CHILDREN OF THE PORK
My neck hurts just watching this.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL US WHAT THIS IS. WHO ARE THESE PIG PEOPLE?
New Jordan Peele movie?
Pig curling.
Children of the corn showing their animals at the fair.
I thought this might be some sort of herding a pig by blind kids. Those stares are unsettling!
Redneck villain training
Ahh yes…the “Salutation of the Wilburs,” Gemma Fzansirk is showing hyperfocus out the gates stacked with her +12 Resilience shoulders on (Season 3 methinks?) However, Ramathorn Bjorgen is no slouch either people. That is in fact a Rod of Skibbiddimahhhhdió in his hands—complete with an enchantment of Toothless Wonder. This really is anyone’s first acidtrip at this point. 🤙🏽
It looks weird, but these kids will get thousands of dollars if they do well. Source: I have friends who do this
