True story

Holy smokes! Really? When you think of it, humans are not remotely interesting. 😂

I think the most disturbing part of that is the confirmation that comes after. When the animals rise against us we should fear the octopus even more than the monkey.

@@Ud0ntcm3 I don’t know why, but your comment made me ponder what a super-intelligent ape/octopus hybrid incarnation would look like...probably Adam Driver!

I love this fact! Where was this?

It was a secret?

As one, shhhhh.

If you are on a hike with a British friend, would or would you not find ways of prompting them to expound on your surroundings?

He shouldn't quit his day job lol

Hahahahaha

This and commissioning or purchasing furry content with HBO money. Even gets the idea to combine them at the end.

Oh definitely.

No

based on the cicada thing, and the entire rest of the show, we all were surprised

@@HungerGamesFan88 I guess that was his intention

Definitely not. 😂 Kept bracing the whole time. All 2.3 seconds of it.

I was expecting it too haha

Wai- You know, you're not wrong. And their eggs are the size of a bowling ball. And they're very violent.

That 'freak of nature' is more beautiful than 95% of the human population. Minimum

That's an infallible point you have there.

What about the Emus though?

Well I should point out that in that footage, the octopus was mimicking a frogfish.

Not in frame: The octapus to his left that learnt to hold a gun

lol, he reminds me of a 7 yo who just learned about dinosaurs

Dude, Fr

It’s a fluff piece

Right? Even though I was enjoying it, I kept waiting for the swerve. At the end, all I could do was laugh.

Yes!!!! (for the octopus-shaped John costume)

Wonderful idea and a missed opportunity for the show.

Just wanted to say: Love your work, looking forward to voting for you in the 2024 and 4,838,480 elections.

Cthulhu ftaghan

Cthulhu ftaghen! Also I've always hated Calimari or octopus 🐙 anything

🤣🤣🤣

"spared" 🤣

How else would get a person who manages to look this much like a bird without trying?

The human form is just a disguise like in the Penguins of Madagascar movie.

He is the Octodad we all need.

shut up business casual

0_0.... It all makes sense now!

What! 😳 Keep those away from me...the entire fuxxx!

no way??? in complete seriousness, is that safe for an octopus? It won't suffocate or anything?

@@elanasilverman4468 lol...yes, n I'm sorry!!!

This exact same thing happened in my sisters research laboratory! The cleaner caught it sneaking back into its tank after eating all the blue cod one by one! It was lifting the glass lid and everything!

@@kristobahl would love to see that 🤣

I have only one thing to say: The star of the movie Finding Dory was the Octopus. Freaking amazing character

@@kristobahl I mean, the humans were nice enough to provide it with snacks nearby, it's surely not its fault if it takes them up on that!

Octopi one of the only creatures that knows to hide the evidence

Or the fact that octopuses are capable of opening jars, even ones they are put inside.

@@Green__Ghost the only reasons octopus dont qualify as sentient beings is because they have no drive to learn new survival tactics, they think their way is fine so they just vibe, i agree with john, they are amazing creatures

Wasn't that one so smart that he actually re-locked his cage behind him, so the staff had no idea he'd escaped?

Link to video ?

That's some Joe Rogan shit right there.

underrated comment

You see, when a tentacle and a girl love each other very much...

@FrankFit when more people care, why do you keep replying with this same message everywhere chill out

@@AKhoja Hahaha!

Oh, that's really cute! You should show him either the dumbo octopus (yes, named after the classic Disney character) or the bobtail squid (there's a video of one getting roasted by a group of scientists) if he's still interested in octouses.

Yes! I agree 100% :)

+.

Yea with elephants a close second.

Same. I saw a documentary as a kid and am in love since. They showed an octopus who seemed to have a crush on a female researcher, so apparently this works vice versa. Now that I think about it, Oliver didn't show any pictures of women when he was complaining about human looks... maybe we're just meant to run away with the octopuses. 🤔 Anyway, my favourite story is one I read recently when a researcher forgot to feed an octopus, and it climbed out of its tank wandered to the researchers desk, left some kind of mess there and then went back. The researcher was pretty shocked, since he considered the tank escape-proof.

@@TheFren I dont even need a citation for that, its so octo-believable.

You need to rethink your life goals

Yeah same!!

Funny thing is that, Chicken Permission, was given

I feel like this is some sort of experiment whether we will watch anything John Oliver puts out. I guess we will.

@@user-en7cg3ve9u I will, sooner or later...

HBO: "Isn't that a bit of a departure for you, John?" John: "Look, if I still can't leave this white void, can you at least let me try some new subject matter? Just this once, I don't want to cover some depressing new trend in local politics. I want to talk about something fun, like how octopuses are cool and great." HBO: "OK, fine, we'll make it a web exclusive."

You are cute!

Reminds me of how I was working on a roof today and banged the exact spot on my shin that I beat against a table last night….that’s me having trouble with 4 limbs, while these crazy asses are killing it with 8!

Basically the only reasons why they haven't conquered the earth are their mostly solitary natures and short lifespans. Once they start hanging out in groups and living a little longer, it's all over.

Used to keep Australian Blue-ring Octopuses in a marine fish tank. They are one of the deadliest marine creatures in the ocean. The rings are vivid metallic blue and the body colour could be anything from sand, to bright fluorescent orange when it was attacking its food (crabs).

He didn't even mention how much they love playing

They mourn their dead?😢

@@TeaDrinker3000 imagine how awesome of a drummer an octopus could be. 🤔

Somewhere in John Oliver's attic, there's a painting of him looking younger by the second.

All due respect to the British comedian that teaches us how the world is fucked, but my former crush and current girlfriend are pretty mesmerizing to watch for me, so I don’t know about that. That’s all I wanted to say

He should see what fascinating things that cuttlefish do...

Or otacon from mgs4 haha after designing the octocamo suit for snake

John Oliver was an octopus this whole time, they're really good at camouflage.

Fun fact : Well octopuses are famous in the internet! Well some places in the INTERNET

John is one of the more passionate furries on youtube

I see what you did there.

So was I!!! Thankful for the nine minutes we did get, though. It was glorious 😂

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/ZYJym6KwrmyqtJ8.html

One even timed it, so not to encounter the night-guard

@@hansakkerman2611 wtf really?

Or in one real case, hop out of their tank with a moldy shrimp they had just been given to then flick it disdainfully onto the desk of their keeper just to say, "Fuck this nasty shrimp, you eat it!"

Octopus go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

@@hansakkerman2611 Or even worse: timing it not to be seen, getting out, crawling across a floor, breaking into and eating the next aquarium's occupants next to theirs, then returning over the dry floor, resealing the aquarium they just emptied, so only the security footage got them. THAT'S how smart octopuses are.

Indeed

Figuratively, it's why I watch/like/subscribe to many. Sam; Amber; Hasan (rip); etc... They are our most precious endangered species.

@@joshuaphillips755 😂🤣

Yes, lovéd it!

When LWT returns, I'm fully counting on seeing John on set...flanked by 100 human-sized octopus mascots.... With computer controlled servo-motor armature and flexible LED skin....engaging in a fully choreographed musical dance number, scored by Hans Zimmer, filmed by 10 cameras on 5 unique set pieces. It will be a very stressful day for HBO's accounting department....and they won't be able to do a thing about it. Except desperately attempt to buy any and every script that features CGI dragons and naked people being cut in half....

God yes!

and probably will ever make.

One does wonder if he is angling to replace David Attenborough in comedy retirement.

YAS!!!!

Animal facts w/ John Oliver + His Existential Depression (though tbh I'm super same on that)

At least an occasional cephalopod segment, cause they're the coolest.

.........Wanna see the greatest? Watch John's full segment on Televangelists pitching for "seed" money!!

Welp... we're eating them. I just did on Sunday and I feel like the biggest dick on Earth :(

we eat and chase them. they are really good sports. they are really hard to catch

We sometimes boil them alive

@@JuanPablodelaTorre we have a story where i live, about nothing kills them except wine. also you haven't lived if you haven't paralysed a octapus with your bare teeth and then hit into submission on limestone in order to make its flesh more tender... i have to point out at this point that i am against animal cruelty and this is sth that ppl used to do here.

Simple, we are fucking destroying the ocean for profit and convenience. The ocean is getting increasingly more acidic and marine life is dying.

@@anoninunen New DLC for Octodad?

🤣

Are we sure he's human?

@@RubelliteFae he's a pensive bison

I thought Adam Driver was a tree.

Clearly Adam Driver is in fact an octopus in disguised as a human it just does too great of a job at it

Yes, this was a refreshing episode. I wish he did more nonsense segments like this.

It's just one more week that he's wasted by not telling everyone that there's a government video from World War II that tells Americans to grow weed to stop Hitler. The film is titled *Hemp For Victory.* You're not going to believe me, so John Oliver has to explain it to you all.

@Capt Shiny Child, the legalization of Cannabis Sativa after the attack at Pearl Harbor is the reason that you are alive in a "free" country. No weed = no Navy, no Navy = no D-Day, no D-Day = no victory, and no victory = the Nazis win. Hence the name of the video, *Hemp For Victory.* Instead of just learning from your own history, you continue to pay billions of dollars in taxes to pay police to harass, beat, arrest and kill Americans over "Marijuana" in the war on drugs, the same "Marihuana" plant that defended American freedom and democracy. You're so indoctrinated by government lies that you won't even contemplate the importance of *Hemp For Victory.* There is more to weed than getting high.

Right, my basic personality is usually pretty good at that

Might I recommend "Other Minds" ... it's a look at the development of consciousness & sentience and has a lot to say about octopuses. Just utterly fascinating creatures.

I started reading Soul of an Octopus because of this comment and it has been amazing so far.

Sometimes it's easy to spot the people who commented before watching the video.

Well of course octopi are going to think you are idiots if you go around calling them "octopuses".

Octopuses are so cool it didn't even take exceptional ones to pull it off. The Jimmy Fallons of the octopus world.

They are also know as the " floppy floppy spiders of the sea."

octopusses just like parrots are one of the most intelligent lifeforms. they are so inteligent that studies have proven they are actually bored when we keep them as pets... also people who are specialized in keeping octopuses pets, using special octopus aquariums (they are desing to be harder to open) still cna escape from such things so you know... they are smart, they just cannot comunicate with us sadly

@@ellyon976 I clicked to find out that I've watched and even liked the video some time ago haha

You should read Douglas Adams' "Last Chance To See" - one of the greatest and funniest travel-cum-wildlife documentary books ever written!

@@lenkacfk7155 That book is laugh out loud funny. Even better with the audiobook version because Steven Fry narrates it and actually traveled with Adams.

David Attenborough should suggest he become his replacement on nature program voiceovers.

​@@jima1135 , almost - Stephen Fry actually house-sat for Douglas while he was off traveling with Mark Carwardine for the book - and then, 20 years later, when Douglas was already dead, Stephen revisited the spots with Mark Carwardine and a camera crew and filmed a documentary. I saw/heard Douglas Adams read live from LCTS on one of his reading trips to Göttingen in the 1990s - he was my only celebrity crush ever!
