Who I Am: Papa Meat, Also Known as MeatCanyon
I'm Papa Meat. You might know me better as MeatCanyon: I'm an American animator, voice actor and writer, and my real name is Hunter Hancock. This is where my cartoons turn into merch.
Who is Papa Meat?
The short answer: Papa Meat is my alias and the name of my second YouTube channel, at youtube.com/@PapaMeat. MeatCanyon is the main channel, where the animations started.
The longer answer: both channels come from the same place. I make surreal, horrific and darkly funny animations that twist childhood icons and parody the franchises everyone grew up with.
What kind of cartoons do I make?
Dark, on purpose: the characters you remember from Saturday mornings, pulled into horror.
Funny, on purpose too: the grotesque is half the joke. If it makes you laugh and look away at the same time, it worked.
Parody first: most of my work starts with something famous and asks what it would look like if it went very, very wrong.
What's on the Papa Meat channel?
More animation, in the same style as the main channel.
Live-action horror shorts, plus reviews and discussion videos.
Where can I follow along?
YouTube: youtube.com/@PapaMeat for the second channel.
Socials: Instagram and X at meatcanyon, and TikTok at @meatcanyonyt. The links are at the bottom of every page here.
What's in the shop?
Designs from my world: gross-out cartoons, metal-style lettering, horror-comic art and parody, on black and white tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies, with kids' and youth sizes too.
