[tunnelcrawler]

I love that guy laughing. Pure adrenaline and shock. Kind of like some people when they get off, or are still on a mother of a roller coaster.

[GiffysChannel]

that whale is still chuckling about that with his buddies

[camerons.]

I swear you could almost see the smile on that whale's face.

[jinchoung]

that's amazing. that whale was literally playing with the people. it kinda knew that they were out there looking for them so he figured he'd give them a show.

It's the maniacal laughter that gets me. That laugh that says: "Holy cow that was neat" and "I could have fucking died." at the same time.

Take us back to shore, Captain, we're done here.

[coolcat]

I swear the captains and the whales have made some kind of deal ...

[ktorn]

Close encounters of the "we almost got crushed by a whale" kind.

That's my father's boat! We're out from Haines. Seasonally in Gustavus. The "Taz" Glacier Bay. Please give a mention to my dad, Tod Sebens.

Good Morning: Proving that giant cetaceans have a sense of humor.

[maartenvanloon]

I think it's fair to say that HUMOR is something we ALL have in common 😆

That laugh.. "I'm in danger"

[janetb.]

the whale knows she will make people laugh w/that... I'm sure she goes it a lot. How cute!

[phoenixwing]

lmfao I swear they do this on purpose just to splash people. they have a sense of humor, that's hilarious

[jackwoods]

[erikadavis]

This will never get old. How exciting!

[TerminatoR]

Watch this in 0.25 and those laughs become terrifying! haha

[pnut]

That was awesome, that's something you're never gonna forget.
