This was a great episode! I was really interested in the sponsor, too, but I can't do the free trial without getting out my credit card, and I'm not going to go in the other room and fish out my wallet for that.
I am so glad that you created a separate channel for classroom appropriate editions, so that we get the unbridled, unhinged, immature jokes I love so much.
Are you talking about truefactseducational or a different channel? That's the only one I find and it only has a few videos from 1+ years ago. I'd love for my nephew to be able to watch these videos without the adult humor😂
I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, but MAN. When a single human can teach you a ton of science while simultaneously making you laugh until you have tears in your eyes, that's something truly special. I've encountered that amazing gift twice in my life: My general physics professor in college (RIP Dr Khosla) and the inimitable Ze Frank. Respect to both of them.
I can't express the love I have for that joke... That one (or 2 now I think?) time(s) where he reversed it and finally went "but science... Sorry, butt science!" lives completely rent free in my brain.
"Weaponized pubic hair" got me... but also, "The last thing I need is a call from your mom saying you stapled your gonads to your lapel, like it's MY fault!"😂
I guess people consider everything noble. All depends on the jokes you like. I make people laugh with crude humor, but noble isn't what any of the snowflakes say. Smiles are brought on by humor. If most people think the thing youre laughing at is in bad taste, is it still noble? Or is it just mean?
Pleasant surprise at seeing Rebecca Helm in the credits. I read a few of her pop science articles and she seemed really passionate about jellyfish, especially on how her breakthrough of how indoles trigger strobilation.
"It's either a stream of snacks or a bidet. Win-win!" There are no good times to take a drink during a zefrank video, cuz you're going to hear something like this and risk choking, spraying your computer, or power-washing your sinuses.
One of the greatest injustices in life is that we can only like a ZeFrank video once. Deserves it solely for the outtakes at the end, let alone the rest of the vid.
@JtrainMedia: Correction: It sounds like the metal band that your dentist secretly formed in his off-hours, and they are _surprisingly_ good! I'm talking like "Dude, you should quit your day-job!" good.
If you love Ze Frank vids, have you come across Casual Geographic yet? A younger bio-themed creator with a similarly hilarious verbal flow. Don't think he cites academic sources sadly, but still very funny & educational!
They'll never stop butt... Wait... *they'll never stop, BUT I've sort of learned to accept their shenanigans and laugh at what nonsense they come up with.
I feel they're the same ones that named luciferin, pikachurin and the sonichedgehog gene. Fun fact: a defect in the latter has been known to result in Janus cats.
You have no idea how much I needed this today 😂😂😂. You make me laugh and teach at the same time. ZeFrank, you truly are a star. Thank you....and Jerry.
Jellyfish are truly fascinating. Love this episode! But I am all for a whole True Facts Episode about Hyenas that is narrated by creepy dave. (Not just a short clip!)
And the worst part is that they're NOT fish. They're cnidarians. Why can't we just call them jelly cnidarians? It would totally make things less confusing.
I did a similar thing with a Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon. Peanut shells everywhere and the only place I knew of where you can toss peanut shells onto the floor and nobody would bat an eye.
Ahh yes. Jellyfish. I said "I cannot get stung if I avoid the ocean." And they said "In your dreams" and then they torment me in my sleep. Literally had a dream once where I was dragged kicking and screaming into the jelly infested water of my local beach. Bluebottles (I know they're not related) also make regular appearances in my head. One dream I had I was at the beach, looked around and said "There are no bluebottles here, weird" only to turn around to see the beach festooned with them. I watched a family walk past me, only for a bluebottle the size of a small dog to run up to them on its tentacles and trip the couple's child over with its appendage. I have several more anecdotes of ethereal dream stingers, but I think this is plenty.
Have you considered exposure therapy? I suppose this video might count I’m an arachnophobe but I must function in the PNW so I look at pics every now and then when the fear seems to affect my life or my dreams more than I can handle.
😂😂😂 Lost it at "farting out water-donuts"; laughed so hard I almost far... Anyway, the Attenborough-esque delivery is key, and somehow I'm in the mood for a Danish or a croissant this morning...
So jellyfish have venomous shaped charges all over their tentacles, they sounds much cooler now, they're living minefield in a way, venomous minefield.
I've been watching your videos since I was very young, when your channel was still smol. I appreciate how much effort you put into this, you have an amazing talent as a narrator and a writer. I love how you describe the animals and if I start teaching (High-Schoolers) I would love to be able to use your videos in my science class. I love your voice, I wish someone could hire you to do a national geographic movie done just like you do your youtube videos. EDIT: Your videos are so good you're the one channel I turn my adblock off for and watch through your sponsor. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Hello Ze Frank, still asking and hoping for you to please make a video about silverfish (the insect) and its natural predator, the house centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata)? I mean silverfish are everywhere but most people know nothing about them other than they are a pest. Even fewer people know about the house centipede. It's only about 2 inches long but has 15 pairs of legs. It looks like a dust bunny you'd find under a demon's sofa.
Sooo happy to see you post again! The world needs your hilarious & educational presenting skills right now ❤ Pull back from the constant barrage of bad news. Many thx!
An aquarium we visited had a display of "jellyfish" like that. At a distance, it looked like the real thing. Up close, several panels informed us of the dangers of our trash in their waters. Sobering lesson.
You know. Rarely does something in a zefrank video truly surprise me cause I've done lots of biology deepdives but I was NOT READY for box jellies having irises and pupils. You dont even have a brain or heart whaddya need that for?!
Fun fact: eyes started evolving before animals. The earliest known “eyes” were photosensitive bacteria that gained an advantage by feeding at certain times of day, which they could gauge by the amount of light they could detect. Gradually they became photosensitive clusters of cells on larger organisms, like those jellyfish eyes. So eyes are much, much older than hearts or brains!
I continuously make the mistake of trying to eat lunch while I watch this. One can simply not watch/listen and not come close to choking on their lunch. You rock!
