That lie about the daddy long legs has been going around for decades.not only has it no fangs it has no poison glands it's totally harmless and that's the reality.
Darling Ricky I’ve adored you and always will but still At 80 but of course I don’t even as as a teenager so loved the Thea my dream wouid be to teal to. You are brilliant but also a sweet person
I know it’s only a comedy routine but the common belief about the daddy long legs having the most toxic venom of all spiders is patently false. According to the Australian museum, the myth came about from observations of them eating Red-back Spiders, but their venom is not potent, even for insects. It is also rumoured their fangs are incapable of piercing human skin, that has been proven to be false also, as proven on myth busters.

@@stephenwright8824 The problem is that the concept of skepticism has become devalued. It was always pretty weak, and creationists are of course 'skeptical' with regard to Darwin.

I'm a Christian who likes much of Ricky's comedy. Not offended by jokes about God, I just find them lazy. He really hasn't thought that much about his unbelief. He uses humor to avoid real examining the evidence. And there is a ton of it.
Ricky has talked at length and repeatedly about his lack of belief so you are showing your ignorance.....or maybe you're comfortable with being a liar.
@@SMHman666 if ricky has talked "at length" about his unbelief you should be able to point me to a lengthy video or 3 or 4 smaller ones where ricky is giving reasons for his atheism. It doesn't bother me one bit that he doesn't have a belief in God. But since you've heard him discuss it, why don't you give me his top 3 reasons for no God.
@@mynonameyt I'm not here to educate you just because you are too lazy to check for yourself. Type into the search bar.

Why would you want me to give you HIS reasons? We all know why, don't we?
@Purple Syndicalist I think I'm the Greg you respond to, not sure. I'm a believer in God, I assume your not. I 66 and have had many conversations with atheist wanting proof. To be honest, and I am honest in asking this. What kind of proof would "need" to be convinced of God's existence?
Love Rick - but sadly like lots of so called wild life websites you also do not know what a Daddy long legs is - you are getting mixed up with a Crane fly - and yes there is something called a Daddy long legs spider but these are both NOT what a Daddy long legs is. The Daddy long legs is actually a creature referred to as a Harvestman and is not a true spider. They are a type of arachnid that is actually more closely related to scorpions. Unlike true spiders, daddy longlegs only have 2 eyes instead of 8, and they do not have silk glands so they do not produce webs. Also, daddy longlegs have different mouthparts than most other arachnids. They can eat solid foods instead of just liquids and they are commonly eaten by other true spiders.
God made the serpent crawl on his belly for the rest of it's life Well the serpent was doing that anyway so hardly a punishment but god must have believed in evolution as he denied the snake from developing legs I am very confused no legs but talking with a lisp that's harsh for telling eve to get an education.
Gervais' acting not as good as in fame or politics here. but at least he is doing some, unlike his latter stand ups where he is just ranting and overly pious, reading out his funny tweets and complaining.
The hearts of the people are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that, they go to the dead. For to him, that is joined to the living there is hope. A living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they will die, but the dead knows nothing, neither have they any more a reward, and the memory of them is forgotten. Even their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished, neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun. God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air for it repented me that I have made them. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. I'm not trying to be nasty or scare you. You may be a good person but Christ came for the sinners to call them to repentance. He died for the sins of the world so that you won't have to stand before God miserably, poor, blind, and naked. There is but one way God approved and whoever rejects his son rejects God and will suffer the wrath of God. And for those who believe that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, shall live forever and the light of their candle will never burn out.
He is ok, he's just saying God is real, Jesus his son is real too. Jesus died for our sins so that we can have eternal life. Just say Lord I believe in you and that you died for me, for forgive me for my sins, in Jesus name, Amen 🙏
Daddy long legs spiders actually do have fangs/teeth but too short to bite humans only smaller insects, so the point of that could be taken as God cared about humans lol.
God is real, Jesus is the son of God and He is real too.He died for our sins that we might have eternal life. Pray and acknowledge Him as your savior 🙏

The last part made me realize how weird it is to watch a disney show about a person that falls in love with a mermaid.
She had legs when they met.
Watch "The Lighthouse" with Dafoe and Pattinson 🤣

There's an old movie called "Daddy Long Legs" but don't be fooled, it's just Fred Astaire doing his thing, not an insect in sight.

That lie about the daddy long legs has been going around for decades.not only has it no fangs it has no poison glands it's totally harmless and that's the reality.
how many now believe the bullshyt? rather common occurrence regarding presidents, rich, nazis, celebrities, etc up the wazoo.
Also the fact that it isn’t even a spider
*the conventional daddy long legs not the cellar spiders
You yourself are lying, they absolutely have fangs and can bite humans. The venom is however totally harmless to humans.
Absolutely hysterical, but I fail to see how it shits on animals
But daddy longlegs love to hang out on tents for some reason.
Fun fact: Daddy long legs are not poisonous. They eat decomposing plant and animal matter. So... Yeah. :p
I think the confusion comes from the Australian spider also called the daddy long legs
What happens if you eat it?
@@Protector0nevenom has to be injected into blood to infect
@@willsr764 but it's not venomous, it's poisonous...
@@billysaunders544 also not very poisonous......................
Totally random, but as a kid here in South Africa, i saw daddy long legs almost everyday... I haven't seen one for probably 25 years! WTF.
Same here saw them alot as a kid,but haven't seen them for like 5 years
That’s global warming my man. It kills off smaller species.
Btw that daddy long legs fact is a myth, strongest venom spider is the Brazilian wanderer with funnel web second
3rd best not bad.
To a Brit, a "daddy long legs" is a crane fly. In America, we refer to Cellar Spiders as Daddy-Long-Legs. And the thing about the poison is a myth.

I laugh at cows at the abattoirs. 🤣

Brilliant love his humor!
Mermaid out of water becomes full human.
Daddy long legs are not spiders and they have teeth. The teeth just wont harm a human unless it bites your eyeball. Lol
(3:34) No, you didn't kill your puppy - Jesus killed your puppy, on His birthday, 'cause you didn't spend enough on your uncle's Christmas present.
Lol quick 😂
Not true about daddy long legs, crane flies are common confused with cellar spiders, but even they do not have potent venom....
daddy long legs form clusters. Imagine a floofy ball of lint but its spiders that are now crawling everywhere
Aye but they aren't spiders tho
@@tadamichikuribayashi2869 what do you mean?
my idea of a hot mermaid would be a human lower half and a fish top half though.

That's a cranefly you're confusing with a daddy long legs Ricky
The daddy longleg poison but too small a mouth is now found to be wrong. They do bite.
Their legs are designed to easily break away and keep wiggling to distract the predator.

Daddy long legs do not fly, as they don't have wings. Also, the thing about their poison being the strongest is a myth.
In Britain, 'daddy long legs' refers to a crane fly, which do have wings, but barely know how to use them most of the time as Ricky demonstrated lol
