Please Ze Frank! Never stop!!
Loved it. Thank you, Ze!
How about a video on infanticide in the animal kingdom? https://youtu.be/UQPgDlLmC3Q
Please upload more 🙏 🙂 ❤️ 😊
Ganges Harbour was just full of eels swimming about under the moon, there were many thousands. I think they just do this once a year.
Please do a video about the hoatzin!
Those Tangle worms look like something that might inhabit a giant suit of armor and fire a plasma cannon.
You should talk about the murderous carnage that are Chimps and their homicidal lifespan
I love u creepy Dave
Why do I always insist on eating while watching your videos
It's important that people know my opinions about many, many things. One of which being, this is hands down the best channel on YouTube. I have yet to find any other channel that makes me laugh as hard or as often, while teaching me so much. Every time I see two birds interact, The Puffin Song plays in my head.
I need creepy Dave.
Few things are better than Zefrank tryihg to hold back laughing at his own jokes.
I think that there should be a True Facts about the American Woodcock. Just think about it.
Why the hell is this entertaining
Dabbing bird after the credits is epic 😂
I find it adorable that you warn us that this isn't meant for children. I've been watching your videos every night before bedtime with my toddlers this week. Don't judge me, I can't do The Gruffalo anymore (it's like at a Coldplay concert when they let the audience take over. He finishes the sentences for me) and Horton hears a Who is too long to be a bedtime story for children who can't read to themselves yet. The highlight tonight was the farting worms. Thank goodness, that's all they understood.
Зе Франк клоун) Снёс акк Рамбла. Прощения не будет.
One if the funniest sets he’s produced…unless I’m laughing so hard I can’t hear him I always learn something new and end up appreciating nature even more than I do already. When it’s nit horrifying, lol.
😊
I could watch hours of birds with that voice. 😂
3:56 he saw his opportunity and he took it!!
lol the tangle worms are literally hunters. give it some blue armor and a weapon to see what happens
More creepy Dave!!
The but/butt inversion in this episode is 🤌
What kind of bird is featured at 4:54 ?
This narrator is a comic genius! 😆😂🤣
there is a gene called cheap date in fruit fly research because it leaves the fly susceptible to alcohol
Why does that "night" bird sound vaguely like Strong Bad… especially at the end…
YES !!!! The Butt joke has had it's final twist !!!
Thank you so much for 4:48 😂😂😂❤
Excellent epilogue!👍🏻
The worm-blob-move-timelapse looks like the wounded wild hog monster from Princess Mononoke🤯
I came for the video and stayed for the audio.
I love how he breaks character when the ladybug shows it's ass
3:57 Finally, after so long, we actually get the reverse of the butt/but joke. Brilliant. Just brilliant.
4:34 Stewie Griffin is that you?
can't move on from the but butt joke
i need to invest in a flamethrower.
