I wholeheartedly concur. Yes, our language may contain *some* repressed pleasantries, but that doesn't mean our whole vernacular is devoted to finding ways not to talk about the Sour Fountain.
@@youbetyourwrasse Oh come on, that's barely even a euphemism. Anybody who's ever tried to put the runner beans back in the peapod knows what you're talking about.
I too have noticed the plethora of British words that are used for genitalia. It's actually hilarious how many words used by Brits are either related to genitalia or swearing
"...For chrionoid loud." That pun is freaking god-tier, but it'll get you 15-20 years in a Superlax Pungeon if the Fun Police ever catch up to you. They've been upping the stakes ever since that day you took down an entire FP squad with just three puns and a half-baked Dad Joke... Thankfully, I don't think you need ever worry about anyone selling you out -especially since the US dollar is practically funny-money at this point.
@@ellachino4799 It should be noted that one or more layers does consist of chocolate pudding... Because if that were not the case, what's the point of having layers at all?
"Spatula" is the Latin diminutive for "spatha", so a "spatula" is a "little sword". So the name works even better. (And "Caligula" is the same for "caligae" -- soldier's boots. So Emperor Caligula was "Little Boots" or, as I prefer, "Bootsie".)
Since half the words in British English mean vagina, that would translate as either vaginas of death or spatulas of vagina. I guess there is a slight chance it could also mean vaginas vagina vagina.
11:14 "...they're eusocial. That's right Jerry. It would be a good name for a social network. I mean, if they still existed, and we weren't sucking off the ubiquitous teat of the algorithm."

You probably will hate to learn this, but you have hundreds of tiny mites living on and in your skin right now. ;) They're called Demodex mites, and they mostly hang out in your hair follicles and eat the dead skin and oil that your skin produces. For the vast majority of people the mites cause no harm; they're actually useful as they help keep your skin clean. But a small minority unfortunately do develop allergies to the mites (or more accurately, their feces).
@@samanthaweatherly1260 I'm not quite certain of how any of your comment relates to a group of animals (Cleaner shrimps and cleaner fish) that specializes in feasting on the carcasses of parasitic, but nonetheless living animals, or to the need of a larger, riddled animal to access their services.

"Spatulas of Death" would make a kickass name for an 80's British punk band.

If it helps things, you would also have the alternative of a fish digging around in your mouth for parasites instead of a shrimp.

@@jamesanthony8438 ha!!! That’s funny
@@raymondj8768 thanks bro, I’m actually feeling much better. Thanks 🙏
“Venus Fly hands” is absolute gold!
I don’t usually comment on True Facts because they’re always outstanding, but that phrase is going into my vocabulary. Somewhere.
The "West Side Story snap" reference really got me lmaooo
I’m a marine bio major, and I’m having a very fun time sending these videos to the other people in my major.
Ze Frank ...
You are definitely THE GREATEST "word salad master" around, and, your sense of clever humor is unmatched.
Just for grins and giggles, the "vortex" bubble created by that large claw is most commonly known as a "toroidal vortex." 😉✌️😎
That's not really what a word salad is
@@TheRealBatabii ...
Well, it IS in "my world," mate.
And, YOU obviously "overstood" what I meant. ✌️😎
G'day
This guy should do an asmr his voice is amazing
I laughed out loud at the centipede joke, and just kept laughing afterward, all the way through.
Lived all these years on this planet and never knew this stuff. That snap! Now my life is complete. ❤ Subacribed forever.
I had a goby and a pistol shrimp in my salt water aquarium. I would almost never see the pistol shrimp, but you could definitely hear it. When it would snap, it was audible all across the house.
This is one of the Top5 best channels on YT without a doubt!
This episode has given me several new euphemisms to add to my vocabulary.
I’ll likely never use them, but it’s still nice to have them.
"Ridden hard and put away wet."
I appreciate the endeavor to bring back that expression.
I like it too. 👌
You never fail to release brilliance. The problem however, is the amount of times one requires to rewind because tis hard to learn while rolling around the floor laughing our butt blends off. 🤣🤣
I usually have to re-watch 2-3 times to catch all the jokes I laughed through.
First time watching, you make pure gold sir!!!
Thanks for actually reviving the phrase "ridden hard and put away wet"-
I've never stopped using it.
@@katm6me too! 👋
@@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206 I know you meant "Me neither", please refrain associating @katm6 with that, he/she/they are most likely a respectable person who would never do something like what "Me too" represents 😅
(It's a joke, don't lynch me y'all)
@@1983sergev bewildering type of joke tbh
@@mozarteanchaos Not punny enough for a like tho. Can't all be like Ze Frank, I watched his vids for years, always brighten my day! (and made that comment around 5 am after being awake for 21 hours, sorry)
I seriously only listen to Ze Frank’s promos. They’re the only ones I don’t skip through bc he’s always so entertaining.
"Butt blending...sorry, but blending..."😂😂😂
We love but jokes, sorry, butt jokes
@DMZZ_DZDM I love the running gag of "butt thing, sorry, but thing", as well as the recent video where he did it backwards.
@nottelling7438 that gag will never stop being funny 🤣🤣🤣
@@DZ-DizzyDumm Give Jerry some credit! Butt blending is totally a thing (probably).
Laughter truly is the best medicine. I swear you constantly make me laugh. Currently in a less serious hospital room than before. I haven't ever been cracked up by someone so much. Thank you.
Thank you!! True Facts videos give me a reason to live. Literally.
I am so sorry that you live such a sad life.😮😮😮
@@jybrokenhearted You can gather reasons for living you know? .. And it's not sad to acknowledge those!
@@Auxius. I was showing empathy
@@jybrokenheartedrelax, sibling. It's not that deep. We're all just here to laugh ourselves to death 😉😄
I was crying with laughter at 3 minutes in, this one was simply brilliant! I had to stop to call my husband and made him watch with me. He loved it!
Thank you so much for your content, your creativity and wit are outstanding.
I was almost disappointed that he didn’t cover mantis shrimp in the video but then I remembered he made an entire vid dedicated to them lol
Stoked to see this! Really sorry to hear about the plumbing issue. Glad you’re okay. You’ve been a really meaningful contributor to our household education and entertainment. Slow down if you must, but please keep going.
I had to come watch this masterpiece being a fresh and saltwater shrimp keeper.
I own a harlequin shrimp. Had him for years. They are really cool and beautiful. If your squeamish about feeding them live starfish, this is not the reef inhabitant you want
The jokes are ON POINT this episode! I love your videos man. They're fun and educational.
The script for this episode was absolutely brilliant. I haven’t watched these in a while, but I’m glad I watched this one. This one was fantastic. Nearly every sentence was hilarious.
"Nobody could drink that much tea..."
I do love me a good cup of tea...
Hell yeah
How about a nice cup of LIBER-TEA? :D
Wonder how many takes are required to get all the scientific names straight? New Ze's always make me happy!
7:45 😂 It gets to watch. 😭🤣
"Head, body, body, body, body, butt!" Okay, I loved that. 😄😄😄😄
But eventually they get their shrimp together LMAO 😂😂😂
7:25 that beeb is the moral equivalent of a fig leaf covering up something bigger than a fig leaf.
Jaques! Clean him!
oui!
Voila, he is clean.
9:58 joint popping to the extreme..and as a weapon
(Click that timestamp repeatingly)
LOVE YOU ZEFRANK YOUR CONTENT ALWAYS GETS ME OUT OF WHATEVER BAD MOOD IM FEELING 🥰
Days are always the best when I get a dose of Z Frank, I get excited when I get the notification that he's put out a new one, I'm rushing to see what it is, and I'm never disappointed!! Thank you Ze Frank, you make my day, week even month and year when I watch one of your videos, love them all. You have a wonderful way of making fun of something and educational at the same time, I love it!! Lol😂😂😂❤❤🎉
I know this is a great channel when I ‘like’ even before viewing the content.
“Looks like a man in a trench coat trying to smuggle a bunch of chords” I really wanna see a side by side of that for comparison now lol
"What magnificent creatures" -me in the drivethrough at Long John Silvers waiting for a shrimp platter
Looks like I picked the wrong video to watch over lunch. "Oooh! A video about shrimp, that should go well with my fish chowder! What better to--oh dear god what are they EATING?!?!"
Ah yes lol I bought some shrimp to help clean up uneaten fish food and waste in my aquariums. That gave me a good idea where this video was going to take us 😂
There is a good reason why the Jews don't eat shrimp, oysters, crabs and other sea food!
It's always a treat to see your videos! Hope you're feeling better ❤
