"Butt blending is... sorry, but blending"
I always look forward to that joke

[michellebobier]

"The peacock mantis shrimp -- three things it isn't!" I'll be thinking about that one for a while...

[KnightsofGaming]

"It's almost like marriage, except... Well, it's like marriage." I don't know why but the sudden change in voice pitch had me laughing

[AndrewDRed]

As a British person, I object to the implication that half our language is just colourful words for an Otter's Pocket.

[ismnotwasm]

“Half the words in the British dictionary mean vagina” —gems like this are why I never skip the end of ZeFrank’s videos 😂😂😂😂

[ScrewpineCaprice]

The shrimps waving over the fishes who wanted to be cleaned is pretty cute.

[stringbean]

So many words arranged in ways I never would have imagined. "... should have left it in. Would have been like an underwater tur-duck-en."

[GthCrayon]

"...For chrionoid loud."
That pun is freaking god-tier, but it'll get you 15-20 years in a Superlax Pungeon if the Fun Police ever catch up to you. They've been upping the stakes ever since that day you took down an entire FP squad with just three puns and a half-baked Dad Joke... Thankfully, I don't think you need ever worry about anyone selling you out -especially since the US dollar is practically funny-money at this point.

[purplehaze]

I'm not sure what's more horrifying, the idea of a bug crawling directly into my mouth and fucking eating its contents, or the fact that being an ocean-dweller practically necessitates it.

[MrWaspMan]

"It's almost like marriage, except... well, it's like marraige the delivery on that is hilarious. Also, that British vocab roast at the end was marvelous. Their's always an absolute gem at the end.

[tonybippitykaye]

Now for some reason, I want to imagine Dune music playing when seeing a shrimp riding on a sea cucumber

[The.Heart.Unceasing]

centipede being described as is my new favorite thing

[octochan]

"But who puts the word "true" in front of something to add some sort of authority?" indeed.

[Jimjolnir]

11:14 "...they're eusocial. That's right Jerry. It would be a good name for a social network. I mean, if they still existed, and we weren't sucking off the ubiquitous teat of the algorithm."

[greg]

"Spatulas of Death" would make a kickass name for an 80's British punk band.

[Yidenia]

Ze Frank: Who puts the word "true" in front of something to add authority
Also Ze Frank: "True Facts: "

Love this series

[plugnplaystation]

"They're good for grabbing random crap off the floor. And by crap I mean crap." 💀💀💀

[salt-emoji]

Tongue popping the bean? Oh yeah out of edamame. Riiiight....

[escapedcryptid]

Hearing him talking about learning German again in another episode to use it non chalantly in this episode fills me with a weird sense of pride

[NatYourAverageNerd]

You never expect the British vocabulary roasting, but it happens, and it's exquisite. "Cup of tea, anyone?"
