On October 3rd of 2022, Sam returned with a tweet simply stating "k im back". He then uploaded a video titled "Where Animals' Scientific Names Come From".

==Style==
Miller's videos all follow a similar pattern: Miller plays the channel introduction, introduces a topic, after a usual "Hey kids," he then explains the topic in a comedic way, gives a comedic conclusion, and then plays the channel introduction again.
All of Miller's videos are drawn as opposed to being filmed in real life. The drawings consist of stick figures and crudely drawn props.
Miller also has a second channel known as Sam O'Nella Vlog which he used to upload song mashups as well as other miscellaneous content.
==Surrealism video==
As an April Fools' joke, Miller made a video about surrealism. In which there was buzzing noises in the background, unusual filters, and random changes in sentences. Viewers said that it made them uncomfortable and many described it as watching a creepypasta.
He mentioned in The Official Podcast that he wanted to make a video that was completely random as an April Fools joke. But his friend told him to try to make a YouTube Poop in the style of a Sam O'Nella video.
The now unlisted video can be found here.
