"To the female anglerfish, the human male seems like a very loud, annoying and unnecessarily complicated pair of gonads".
@Nassim_I_ Azzam I would disagree there, this is a bloody video on angler fish and somehow, the internet has yet again become a men V women debate.
All it does is attract twats who wanna make sexist comments, and people who try to reason with them, but it just goes round in circles, so the salty people get saltier and the kind people just get their time wasted.
@W S Tavis what do you mean?? The only ones getting angry are women (as usual)
Wow. So many angry, self-righteous women AND men on this thread. SMDH
If you can't laugh, I guess anger is your only other option.
"Losing his heart, brain and eyes". It's called love.
This is the best thread here. 🤣🤣
Stop all the oofing in here..if you oof then ill oof then we all oof and we be bunch of fking oofers up in here
OOF
OOF
OOF
Female human: omg my boyfriend is so clingy!
Female angler fish: Hold my husband
@K9 Cobra honestly? goals.
"which one?"
Oh wait you can’t, hehe.
Or husbands. They can have multiple husbands.
@ShadowsandCityLights lol, thanks I actually did lol 😂
"To the female angler fish the human male is a very loud, annoying and unnecessarily complicated pair of gonands"
Bruh...
😂🤣 my friend just said same thing after showing her this video lol
@Quixotic42 agreed.
This is a brilliant quote. Damn.
Lol same
Pretty sure a lot of human females see us that way too
“compares it’s camouflaging skills with that of a flounder also a master- *h o l y c r a p did you- what the fu-* “
😂😂😂😂😂
@Kefka I believe frogfish are a part of the anglerfish group, the stock angler fishes are the ones we recognize more as angler fishes.
I laugh everytime I see that
That was the best! LMBO!
The narrator deserves an oscar, truly inspiring narration
🤣🤦🏻♀️🤨 I love the end “My deepest sympathies to the male angler fish....that’s a crappy way to live a life”
Every time I feel too clingy, I just remember that at the very least I don’t digest my own face and fuse myself with my partner.
The best narrator in the world. He should be the voice of documentaries like blue planet
@Primedragoon a000000000000000000a00000000000
Even he disagrees, it's Morgan Freeman
Brilliant narration😂
look up “round planet”. They’ve actually aired something like this in the past and it’s pretty funny. It has clear inspiration from it as well. Essentially, BBC ripped off Zefrank.
They need to give him his own show
0:58 that flounder was so well hidden. Sad that it got caught.
holy crap did you see that what the -
-you got this played in my school, swearing and all. good job mate.- p.s: this was played on accident, the teacher didn't know there was swearing cut off or not, she promptly turned the video off after
Weak.
My english teacher in freshmen year played hi owl video one time and I was prepared for her to turn it off once she heard him swear but to my surprise that video has no swearing so she came prepared
really? and they didn't think anything was up during the shades of ugly joke or the human gonad joke? just the swear cut?
altextreme Aww, I wonder how the teacher would react to the rest of the video
Ivy94F Dallas aww no it was completely on accident, from what i remember the teacher just picked a random video about angler fish since they were teaching something related to it. anyway after turning off the video in a bit of shock the glass just laughed about it and moved on. i wish they put it on on purpose though lol
"It's like a rainbow... of ugly." Love it.
“Here a anglerfish compares is camouflage to the flounder fish-“
(Anglerfish eats Flounder fish)
“HOLY FRIK-“
@Your neighborhood palico wait no, more than that
the way he speaks like a addicted football 5 years old kid trying to be intimidate to a bunch of melted kit kats
@Your neighborhood palico - yep
@Steven Dao Do you mean the way he speaks is similar to a raging white kid in cod?
@Your neighborhood palico is it?
isn't the way he talk is similar to a black person?
@Vehicular Manslaughter And you don't know know either,just sayin nobody really knows
They’re not just facts... They’re true.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.
@Patootie Best of all, they’re not politically correct.
I love how you tried to make a joke and a whole flock of idiots came to ruin it
I was trying to do research on angler fish for my biology school project and I think I know everything I need to know because of this
When I first heard the voice I thought it’d be one of those boring no-emotion robotic ones but I was damn wrong with the amounts of actually good jokes in this- well made!
I love this guy! @Zefrank1 - Thank you for making these videos. They always make me laugh and put a smile of my face! 😊❤️
If I have 2 minutes of my life left, i would spend it watching this video again.
Sorry for the Ping 2 years later ... But im in fear of my self right now. My thoughts went ok if they are laying in a hospital only beeing held alife by machines im going to show them this comment ... Play the video... Than pull the plugs.
You watch old true facts like this one verses the newer ones and you can see how he has evolved and become an even better story teller. I can only imagine the future and how much he will grow and become even better if that is even possible.
Being a fish who has seen these angler fishes for too much, I can confirm these are indeed true.
9 years later and, "someone needs to light up that pretty pretty lady." Cracks me up without fail
Wow what a throwback!! I used this to learn about the angler fish for my grade 5 or 6 fish project in school!
"the female angler fish comes in many shapes, colors, and shades..."
me: alright
"of ugly"
me: dayum...
"its like a rainbow"
me: alright....
"of ugly"
me: DAYUM!
Much like humans.
The pinkish red one was sort of cute
@KiD Jackson OK; I guess I did misunderstand. But, yes, if we all have our own definitions of what a “true” this or that is, there will be debates . . . same with Christianity as well. It does seem, however, that every year the gap between this is growing ever wider. We can’t seem to find a middle ground but I appreciate your response nonetheless.
@tsunami1112 My fault if I didn't make it clear enough, I see I have confused you with what I said.
I'm not saying that I personally have my own definition or idea of a feminist besides what they were originally described as.
What I was saying is that so many other females who claim to be feminist are not feminist by your definition, but you all share the same table and talk about empowering women together.
This makes the entire affiliation of feminist look like a joke because it is impossible to point out every individual that talk a big game about being a feminist and prove them wrong.
That's just a part of what society has become though, indeed if everyone has a different idea of what a "true something" is then there will always be disagreements. People have debates on what being a true man is all of the time.
Well, that spiced up my homeschool lesson.
Same...daughter just did a Kiwi crate, making an angler fish. Teach me to not prewatch videos I show her...but worth it for the big laughs.
This fish is like an evil spirit luring its victim to death in outer hell.
Also, the narrator is funny.
I've learned more with you in a month than with Discovery Channel in 10 years.
Shrimp and their vanity. They just never learn.
Oh to be a humble shrimp is to live a little longer. Those narcissistic shrimp just cant resist the anglers fancy
Because they're dead.
underrated comment! 🤣
"The female anglerfish comes in many shapes colors and shades of ugly" Like a rainbow of ugly. LOL😂😂🤣🤣
Such an interesting critter. You could’ve given them a little more time.
Otherwise on point and funny.
Another night of watching random sea creatures and this is the best commentary ever.
I love his narrations he is informative with a side of humor
“ because someone needs to light up that pretty pretty lady” 😂I’m dying
Pretty pretty lady XD
I'm dead!😂😂😂
1st reply
"And here, a decorative hat feather..." lmao😂
Every single one of these is hilarious! I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THEM!! - Been binge-watching for TWO DAYS! 😲
👍 'd
@ Rating: ★★★★★
You should remake this video. Heck, I'd love to see videos on deep sea anything.
This video came out on my birthday on what I used to consider the best year of my life. Still the best present I ever got
I remember watching this when it first came out with my cousin we laughed so hard
hilarious ...love the condolence message part to the male anglar fish at the end!
When I'm drawing and it starts looking shitty, I abruptly stop and draw an anglerfish
Dead XD
"My deepest sympathies to the male angler fish. That is a very crappy way to live a life."
The fact that this was actually included is hilarious.
Can you imagine being in a biology class and your teacher tells you:
"remember to wear proper material when deep sea diving or you might catch glowy glowy bacteria"
Son Arata sign me up for something different
+Dr. Shoggoth
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well.
I'd be more afraid of a fish melting it's face into me and leaving nothing behind but a pair of gonads :P
“The angler female comes in many shape color and shades “
Cool
“ of ugly”
I can agree
it's like a rainbow... of ugly.
I fuckin love you, man, I've been watching you for years and I've seen this so many times and it'll never get old. Thank you 💚
One of my pet peeves is people saying “some female angler fish can get up to 3.2 feet long” its like saying “some male humans can get up to 8.9 feet tall” just because Robert wadlow existed.
I’m glad this video was made before that myth took off
This version of outer wilds looks amazing.
"Here the angler fish waves a lovely Pashmina shawl, just the size for an unsuspecting shrimp. Here another one presents a lovely pair of leggings. And here a decorative hat feather."
I CAN'T HAHAHAHA
That's why you should always be careful when looking for a new pair of shoes. Especially if they're going half-price.
This is my favorite true facts episode purely for that line.
Truly priceless commentary
A female melanocetus johnsonii (humpback angler fish) can host up to six males at one time
The "things" it waves in front of it's mouth are called escas, and these are generally a protrusion of it's spine with tiny, symbiotic photobacterium living in the lure. These photobacterium are bioluminescent, and are mutualistic symbionts to the angler fish. The photobacterium give the angler fish a lure to get food, and the angler fish provides a home and protection for them, not harming either organism in the process. The previous facts are all about the humpback angler fish, which resides in the bathypelagic zone. there are over 250 species of angler fish, and most mentioned in this video are a species of monkfish and frogfish.
This is still my favorite True Facts video
I'm binge watching your videos!! This is amazing 😂😂😂😂😂♥️
I think we need an updated angler fish video!!! 🖤
I would pass all tests in Science with flying colors had my teacher taught like the narrator.
That how the angler fish DO
Having fun while learning...Perfection
You should remake this video. Heck, I'd love to see videos on deep sea anything.
I did not mean to post this twice...
"It's like a rainbow....... of ugly" lmao I'm dead 🤣🤣💀 I was looking for a video to show my 4 year old what a real anglerfish looks like, this was unexpected but much appreciated hahaha
Y’all know that the deep sea angler fish is 7 feet long
@stee ok those comments were old and I was stupid but they don’t grow 7 feet long. They grow up to 3 feet. And yes I know what deep sea gigantism is and how animals like sleeper and six gill sharks and giant squids are affected by it it’s weird how animals in the deep sea are either super large or super small
@Emil Ramos you obviously know nothing about deep sea gigantism, or any of the many creatures that live even deeper than the angler fish...and bigger too
No they're not. The largest ones are about 3/4 feet but most of them are tiny. I saw the meme you learned this from and the fish in that image is an art sculpture.
Say sike right now
"To the female angler fish, the human male is a very loud, annoying, and unnecessarily complicated pair of gonads."
I'd say that's about right, yes.
@Disent Design lol you triggered?
Ghost Nebula no not really
fifi landu You probably see human women as an unnecessarily complicated thing that has a womb.
These videos never fail to make me burst out in laughter
"The male angler fish is tiny and attaches itself to the female, then dissolves, losing its digestive organs, heart, brain and eyes and living only to provide the female angler fish with sperm when needed." Sounds so much like this couple I know.
She's about 82 times bigger than him also.
Anglerfish: "when hooking up goes wrong" - catfish edition
Am I the only one who lives for those moments he goes out of character? 🤣
I swear I can watch this video all day. When the narrator was shock the camouflage fish get eaten gets me every time. XD
HOLY CRAP DID YOU JUST WHAT THE FUCK it gets me every time tbh
"Camouflage fish" you mean the flounder? It was even stated by the narrarator
would love to see a remake of this
I love Ze Frank. It's so funny.
I love the random "holy crap! What the hell!" there.
Reminds me of the family guy "Damn Nature, You Scary!" nature show.
This is the first True Facts video I ever saw. In a bio class. I’m happy that my teacher gave us this.
"Holy crap?! Did you ... What the fu!" -I'm dead XD
Anglerfish: Yes
Best comment ever
🤣🤣🤣
My name is Elouise too. Hi.
Elouise Hodge I actually flinched when that happened
I died @1:04
Loved how he lost his composure while narrating 😂😂
This is my favorite video on the internet or otherwise. Thank you.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you
It's interesting watching the earlier videos before he fully developed his voice
@Eagleton this is genuinely my birth name I've had this account for years
@Eagleton Swap the first letters of the two names... Reprehensible human being, if so...
It's hilarious how the narrator steps out of a calm professional character and gets so excited... 😂
I once called this my favorite animal.
In grade school.
In front of the entire class and the teacher.
Yes, I was a weird kid.
Yes, this was character suicide for me.
Yes, I'm still an odd person.
This is the very first of these videos I saw. It's still one of my favorites
"To the female angler fish the human male is a loud, annoying and unnecessarily complicated pair of gonads."
To the female human the human male is... well, yeah.
Replace "gonads" with "boobs" and it's often true the other way too, lol.
"To the female anglerfish, the human male is a very loud, annoying, and unnecessarily complicated pair of gonads. (zefrank1 2012)"
@eggrollsoup
There are several ways to interpret what you're saying, please Define.
Quinton Craig yea but it’s the other way around
Isn't that the same for humans?
pair of balls that are not lit
Some women think so too. 😉
Oh man, I remember being obsessed with this.
“A lovely pair of leggings”
*flailing*
for a fish
I have never been happier after being redirected from wikipedia to a youtube video! Even the wiki community loves you!
1:28 My favor part is about the deep sea angler fish
"...it's dark as hell down there and someone needs to light up that pretty, pretty lady."
LOL!
666th like
Who knew the female angler fish was a *strobe-light honey* ! 😂
Ugly, ugly*
Alexis Frohlich My favorite bit!
It’s a rainbow.....of ugly
I love all your videoes but just wanted to say many snippets in this one are of frog fish, not anglerfish.
I love your comment at the end: "my deepest sympathies to the Male Angler Fish. That is a very crappy way to live life".
I always watch this for a good laugh 😂🤣😂🤣😂
You are a funny guy! Thanks for the laughs :D
These videos and their dialogue are so so awesome. Please continue making them! "These shrimp and their vanities pay the ultimate price --- death." I love your diction.
1:00 the best moment in the video.
I just want to say that the average specimen is SEVEN FEET FREAKING LONG.
That is all.
no, thats actually false, the largest one was 3.9 feet, stop spreading misinformation just because you cant fact check dumb things youve seen on the internet
We need more true facts videos... Much much more.. pretty please?
I want more of this stuff .
"It's like a rainbow...of ugly."
Nice SharpTooth!
Oh you mean the gay flag haha
50 shades of ugly
50 Shades of Gross
+Yayukifujoshi me too
1:02 had me dying 😂😂
I loved the comedic narrative, fantastic :)
Actually the first ones shown are frog fish... A close relative/shallow water counterpart. Angler fish only live in the depths.
Why couldn't my school teachers be like this guy and explain everything so easy to understand
"The Female angler fish come in many shapes, colors, and shade.. of ugly." I love this!
The perfect example of why I should have watched this video before showing it to my kids. I'm cracking up though.
00:43
"the human male is a very loud annoying and unnecessarily complicated pair of gonad"
this made my day
I REMEMBER THIS VIDEO I'M SO GOAD I FOUND IT AGAIN
This has got to be the dear kitten guy! This is the best video I have seen in months!
Classic ZeFrank my favorite!
