Wow, the music, the cinematography, the direction and storytelling. Absolutely incredible.

I love the way they filmed this. Those close-up shots make it seem like the octopus is a sort of alien and the sound design just makes it better.

[song]

I love how the startled fish just vomits dirt before the octopus moves on lol.

[FannyLerouxTime]

The startled fish needs to be up for an award of some kind.

[mylanyoung]

It's so interesting how its skin texture changes from bumpy underwater to smooth and slimy out of water!

[hollysnickerz]

Can we appreciate that amazing camera work??

"Apart from a rather startled fish..."
Fish: *Spits rock*

[TheBearAspirin]

🐟: Cool it's low-tide. No predators to bother me.
🦑 has entered the room.
Fish: surprised Pikachu face. 😲

When I saw the title I was like, what the hell ? Octopus on land where could that be ?

Video starts : northern Australia has

Me : Yup, that makes sense .

[Nico.Robin]

@2:04 The fish spat out it's food in disbelief 😂😂😂

[deannordin]

This can’t be it. Davy jones cannot step on land once every ten years.

[OokileyGMR]

"But, the octopus' suckers, allow them to move as stealthily on land, as underwater."

SFX: *-SHWYEESH CRACK

[ehidunno]

when the fish spits out his rock in shock

[fanter]

Everybody gangster till the octopi start walking on land

[leobrent]

It’s weird that in the water the octopus’s skin looks rough and bumpy, but out on land it looks smooth and slimy

[thdvil]

Imagine you’re chilling and having a nice walk on the beach and you see this coming out of the water

[eumarievivero]

I love how the octopus' skin is so smooth on the land and rough on the water.

[DayBeyonce]

They're really laying it on thick with the sound effects aren't they?

[gendoll]

Ong I had to rewatch the “startled fish” it was so funny lmao

[JulesHinmon]

Who knew Squidward would finally stand up to Mr. Krabs?
