I’d like to imagine Zefrank’s True Facts videos to be Nat geo documentaries but the narrator has the freedom to say literally anything without any consequences, as long as it’s focused on the subject or animal at hand
-
“These science hippies made clay models of a sea cucumber, apparently that’s what you do with a PhD” is my favorite line. 😂
-
"Crawl around in a way that looks just how vomiting feels" I love these analogies, they are SO CORRECT
-
Hearing zefrank say ‘tubed feet’ the exact same way in every video is my main source of happiness
-
I'm always floored by the amount of real scholarly research that ends up going into what is essentially a comedy video that's simultaneously more entertaining and informative than any textbook I've ever seen. ZeFrank, you should be proud.
-
“...all the sea cucumbery bits they need to start cucumbering” is one of the best sentences I’ve ever heard. Thank you
-
If I have watched these during my childhood, I would probably be a biologist by now. A foul-mouthed one, but a biologist nonetheless.
-
"Every once in a while Satan releases a murder chicken!" That part made me spit out my beer and had me cracking up so hard!😂🤣😂

I was genuinely not expecting a shrimp sperm splashpark shot Little guy was having the time of his life
-
This man is the epitome of quality over quantity

How you don't have your own TV show?? You're a perfect example of learning entertainment. I've genuinely learned so much random shit watching your videos over the years. Please don't ever quit <3

Oh the jokes this episode... simply delightful 1:19 they probably have that in Vegas 1:38 it's like an orgy for introverts 2:16 the latin-orgy pay off 3:23 alphabet soup for sadists 4:46 move in a way just like how vomiting feels 5:03 undulates ;) 6:49 every once in a while, satan releases a murder chicken 8:31 carpet covered in cheetos crumbs 9:11 it is a ✨cloaca- ass +, hole for every season✨ 10:55 what you do with a PhD 🫠 12:51 "Hello, mouth-hole!"

“No Jerry, we’ve seen quite enough of that filthy shrimp.” Is now one of my favorite sentences.
-
The temptation to show this to my science class without waiting for the education version is very real. But I think I like being employed. Another tremendous edition to the series!
-
“Margery, there’s a little something on your cheek. Let me get it for you…oops.” Ahh, the benefits of butt lungs… a phrase I never thought I’d contemplate. Thank you for another incredibly informative (somewhat repulsive), classic comedic ZeFrank style. 😂 Ty for all the work you go to out these together. From a long time viewer, & 👩🏻🔬 Hippie 😁
-
I learned about ZeFrank and this channel over Thanksgiving dinner last week. It’s all my kids wanted to talk about and they’re both over 40 yrs old. Mr ZeFrank, you are hilarious and I learn so much at the same time. I watch every day now. Thank you.
-
This whole episode was a weird one. I alternated between fascinated, disgusted, and laughing hysterically. But I absolutely lost it at the line, "but sea cucumbers have another sleeve up their butt."
-
There’s nothing like a zefrank1 vid fresh off the printer, you can still feel the warmth
-
Why is no one talking about the sound effects at 9:03 😂 i can't fathom how you come up with these things i love you videos! Thank you for making then and putting all this effort ❤
